h1. Galaxy Note 2 N7100 minor version upgrade

h2. Downloading the files

The first step in the installation process is to download and set up the files that will be used to update Replicant to the device.

There are several ways of updating the device, either by:
* Downloading the update directly on device, and updating without the need of a computer.
* Downloading the update on a computer, copying it to the device, and updating without the need of a computer.
* Downloading the update on a computer, and using a command line tool called adb to perform sideload.

First find out what the latest image is: check out the @Last image@ part of the general table on [[GalaxyNote2N7100]].
Then download the latest system image (replicant-6.0-n7100.zip) from [[ReplicantImages]] either on the device or on your computer, depending on the update procedure you have chosen.

If you already downloaded the update on the device, you should skip this section.

4. Mount the mass storage on the computer
5. Copy the @replicant-6.0-n7100.zip@ file at the origin of the mass storage
6. Safely unmount the mass storage on the computer
7. Disable USB mass storage on the device

h3. Using a microSD card

1. Connect the microSD card to the computer (e.g. using an USB card reader)
2. Mount the microSD card on the computer
3. Copy the @replicant-6.0-n7100.zip@ file at the origin of the microSD card
4. Safely unmount the microSD card on the computer
5. Disconnect the microSD card from the computer

h3. Installing ADB

Instructions to install ADB: [[ToolsInstallation#ADB|ToolsInstallation]]

h2. Installing the images

Now that the images are on the device or that the computer is setup, it is time to actually install the images to the device.

2. Make sure the device reboots to recovery

h3. Data wipe

When updating to a new minor release (e.g. from Replicant 6.0 0001 to Replicant 6.0 0002), a data wipe is usually not required, so it is strongly advised not to wipe the data as all the application settings and data would be gone.
