The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean as it is improves many smartphone and tablet models thanks to its goodies. Your Galaxy Note 3 Neo TD-LTE SM-N7506V is the latest to enjoy it. The new ZNUANC1 for China was released last month. Use only this smartphone for the firmware; if you’re not using this model, you’ll be in trouble.

Step by step instructions

  1. To upgrade your phone, here’s the first step: download Odin v3.09 from this page and the on the notebook. Since the packages are on it now, unzip them there with 7Zip. The next thing you’ll have to do is open Odin v3.09.exe on the laptop and afterwards enter the smartphone in this mode: Download.
  2. To restart the device in the Download Mode, you should press and hold Home, Power and Volume Down at the same time for a boot message to pop up. When it comes up on the screen, you have to press Volume Up.
  3. The notebook has to be in a connection with your handset. This can only happen with the smartphone’s USB cord. The Odin will, after you do that, look for the handset. After a short while it will locate it, at which moment it will have a blue sign to show you. After it’s done with the plugging, several things have to be done.
  4. The first of them: add the firmware file to AP / PDA. For the second task you have to do as such: check F. Reset Time and uncheck Re-partition. When done, Auto Reboot needs to be checked, as well. The phone can now receive the ZNUANC1 firmware. Its installation must be achieved like this: tap Start.
  5. Now wait. After around 10-15 minutes have gone by, the N7506V will have, on its touchscreen, this message: “Pass”. Make sure you unplug it from your notebook as soon as it reboots. To make sure the two are disconnected, take the USB cord out from them.
