If AT&T ever releases Jelly Bean for their i717 Galaxy Note.

It was released in February.

No, The Jelly Bean Update has not been released for AT&T i717 Galaxy Note.  It is still running 4.0.4  The Original Note (N700) and the Note 2 is running Jelly Bean But the AT&T variant of the Original Note (i717) is still on Ice Cream Sandwich.

Hi Paul, thanks for the correction. Yes, the Jelly Bean update for i717 (At&T's Galaxy Note) is not released yet. I just checked again.

As I know, Samsung finished their work on this update in late January and in early February  the update was pushed to AT&T , who would do their own "testing". This process typically can take 2-6 months depending on the priority assigned. AT&T also has the right to withhold the update.

The Galaxy Note 2 was released with Jelly Bean 4.1. Jelly Bean 4.2 update is being under carrier test currently, as I know. This usually means the update will be very likely released in Q3.

Hey guys, Jelly Bean is now available via Kies.  You are welcome  

Note: this is NOT a joke. GO GO GO

Finally,  JB is on the Note.

okey AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note owner, this is indeed a good news that at last AT&T has released the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 upgrade. of course, AT&T alwayz late and careless about their smartphone OS upgrade matter.

the main Samsung US webpage for Samsung JB update yet not updated, because there is JB update announced in that page for AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket or AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note. the link is below:

But now Note user can directly follow the below webpage for their JB upgrade on Note  -  http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00047453&fm_seq=51497

before start update it will be perfect if you format your device properly (factory reset including internal USB storage).

in your windows pc, just uninstall Kies and Samsung usb driver. I suggest, restart your pc after every installation or uninstallation please.

after latest Kies is installed properly and restarting your pc, disable your antivirus (or internet security software), windows firewall and windows defender.

Now you can open Kies and connect your Note via USB cable and after your device has deletected properly then you can easily go for Jelly Bean upgrade step by step.

hope the success of all AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note user about Jelly Bean upgrade.

Thanks in Advance

I will say that you should update your copy of kies by redownloading it first. I was an old gingerbread user and upgraded to ice cream with kies 1.2 . Kies 1.2 did not have the ability to give my note jelly bean, nor did it update itself. I had to redownload and install manually and then I could get jelly bean. It may be simple information, but hey I didn't realize it for a day
