Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD.
Edit: just realised my stupid iPhone has renamed froyo to group in the title :-(

I bought a Galaxy Note from Telus yesterday, and I'm trying to figure out how I can root it and perhaps install the CM9 alpha since the official ICS rom isn't out for it yet. I'm not really sure where to start, however, as the kernel version in About Phone shows as 2.6.35.11. No letters.
This is my first Samsung phone, as I've historically been an HTC user, so please be gentle. I have plenty of experience with flashing HTCs, but Samsungs seem to be a bit different.
Edit: oops, looks like I should be in the (yuck) AT&T Galaxy Note forums over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1493 .
Since you have one of these Telus Galaxy Note can you tell me how much carrier "crap" is on it? Here in the US AT&T loads the phone with a lot of crap and custom apps, also start logos etc. I don't like that and I remember buying in the past a droid from Telus and had no crap on it. Thanks

I have no bloatware on mine (that I can tell), there is a Telus start-up screen when powering on though.
Guys you're in wrong forum this is for n7000 international version of the note.

I noticed on the Rogers site that it still lists the OS as 2.3 so I was wondering if rogers has sent out the ICS to all their galaxy notes yet. Specifically I live in the Vancouver area if that makes any difference. I'll definitely be looking into flashing a custom rom if they still haven't pushed it out yet, but please let me know if anyone has had any luck yet.
Thanks!
I think for the Rogers version of the note this needs to be moved to the
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717 Q&A section. Sorry for that!
The Rogers ICS update for the Galaxy Note is not yet available. The most recent news is that the update will be available in Q2, and since it is June, that doesn't leave much time. Rogers may just ignore that deadline though, because they don't really care about letting anyone know their schedule. Samsung have already stated that the update is ready on their end, and they have given it to Rogers, so Rogers are just taking their sweet time adding their own crap to it. This means the Rogers ICS will be bloat (Rogers crap) on top of bloat (Samsung TouchWiz) on top of ICS!
The update will be done through Kies, as Rogers doesn't like OTA updates. Sorry.
P.S. - If it helps, Telus have said their update will be out on July 13th.
Update
Just to update this thread.....I just received my ICS update today. I just happened to pick my Note up and there was a message on the screen saying "Update Available". I clicked on the download button and the whole process took about 15 minutes. And I have to add.....ICS is sweeeeet!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini that was brought to me because the user was experiencing trouble connecting to the T-mobile network. There would be cell service for about an hour, after which all service would be lost. The problem is reported to have started after performing an update a few weeks ago, which the user thinks was a firmware update. Now, the phone receives no cell service at all. I should also add that the phone was purchased through Groupon, and because of that they were told (by T-mobile) that they'd have to send the phone to China if they want it fixed.
Now this is where it starts getting pretty complicated. First, I tried checking the phone's IMEI number on imei.info. The result shows a Motorola W375 flip phone, not the Galaxy S3. I'm not sure what this means. Secondly, the model number of the phone is GT-I8200L which means that it's for the Latin American market. But it was working for 2 months, so I'm guessing it's not an issue with the hardware?
I'm pretty tech-savvy, but I'm by no means an expert when it comes to fixing phones, so I have no idea what to do at this point. The phone doesn't appear to be unlocked, since my (non-T-mobile) SIM card doesn't work. I'm finding lots of articles for things like "flashing firmware" and whatnot, but I don't know whether this would help. Maybe it's a lost cause at this point?
I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks for your reply! But there seems to be no new updates. It says that the latest updates are already installed. The Android version is 4.2.2.
Where you from?

Mine isn't. Nothing other than Samsung branding on case or load up
Did you get anywhere on your original question? I'm trying to see whether I can update to MM (or N in the future) - but I have small balls for this sort of stuff. My phone works, makes calls, gets data (although always shows as on 4G when it obviously isn't) - but looks like it's some weird mongrel of a USA / CHN / HK build. Just about to request help & guidance
