Download the OTA 4.1 Poland firmware & flash it through Odin. That's it, you are good to go. Then you can root & install CWM.

You will only receive OTA`s for the rom of your region, if you want that just flash the Indian JB rom and do not root, If you are rooted OTA`s will not be installed as you have a custom recovery. You can however update with Kies, but you will loose root. See item 3 in my signature how to flash with Odin.

Can't Find Working I717UCMD3 Jelly Bean link

Hotfile has apparently been taken over by the US Government and I need a copy of the official att I717UCMD3 jelly bean for my note. I'm stuck at the moment and without it I'm toast. Does anyone have a working link (aka not hotfile) of the att i717?
Try kies for the official 4.1.2 ucmd3
I am looking for the Stock ROM as well. Can I use CWM recovery to flash the Rom downloaded by Kies? Thanks

Kies will update your device firmware and software. Modem and rom. The latest official update is 4.1.2. It will reinstall the stock recovery and remove root too. You'll have to re-root with twrp or cwm again using odin and a pc.
I think www.sammobile.com has a downloadable and flashable rom if you register.
Yep. Hotfile has been shut down. Sammobile uses Hotfire so there are no download links reupped yet.

1st you must update your firmware: try OTA-update or, if it fails, download your newest firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. Control, whether IMEI is correct and you can make calls.
2nd root with CF-autoroot. Install TWRP-recovery.
3rd install any custom ROM.

Yes you need to repartition back to stock partitions I think. Your can search for a stock pit file for this.
