OK, I have a sort of complex question.
I am currently running DamienGTO's kernel along with Stock 2.2 and Stock CSC as installed by my carrier.
I have finally gotten Kies to work due to the new version being released, and I suspect that the Samsung firmware upgrade to 2.2.1 or 2.3 may be coming to my stock firmware soon, due to that fact.
My questions are these...
Will I be able to upgrade my stock firmware even through I am using a custom kernel?
Will doing so replace the kernel with stock requiring me to flash the Ultimate kernel again after the upgrade?
Should I undo the lagfixes before upgrading the firmware?
Will updating via Kies wipe my data?
Thanks in advance for your time.
YES
YES
YES
NO (but make a backup just incase)
Thanks very much... now I just need to see if Samsung really updates the stock.

Search here.. Latest for your country is 2.3.5.. This is not carrier specific but it is an official release. Just flash this via Odin.. If you want kies to update your firmware, revert to froyo first then try connecting to kies.. if it doesn't give you updates to download, you have to flash via Odin.

by the way, if you have cm7 or other custom ROM, kies will not work..
Try it to flash via odin, If you have CM just flash it to 2.3.4 via odin, then run Kies and solved!
There is thread about stock roms in mini dev forum. Flash them with odin. Safe to flash as the topic said.
P.S. Never tried, but the response is good. Sorry, my english isn't the best.

So my old phone is no used by my sister and is still running Fusion ROM on Android 2.2. For some reason the wifi is no longer working and I figure I would upgrade to ICS since I am redoing things anyway. I read another thread where a guy flashed straight from Froyo to ICS and is running ok, but I remember going from Android 2.1 to 2.2 was a pain and I had to wipe, flash back to stock, flash new bootloaders, and then the Froyo ROM. I would assume going all the way to ICS which has major changes would also require something complex but just want to be sure about the process. So am I supposed to use Odin to flash stock Gingerbread and bootloaders before I upgrade to ICS? Or is it really fine and all will work if I just flash an ICS based ROM from where I am right now?
I am thinking of flashing the SlimICS ROM unless someone can tell me a reason why that ROM is not very good?
Currently the phone has the 2.2 firmware, i897UCKB1 baseband, 2.6.32.9 kernel, and is running Fusion 1.9.8 ROM. I am not sure on the bootloader version, but I have a file on my PC from a long time ago called "galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5" that I think I probably used to update the bootloader all that time ago when I moved to Froyo.
See TRusselo's "[Guide] How to flash ANY Captivate Rom from Stock (including ICS)" that is a stickied thread in the Q&A Forum...

So, your saying I should flash to stock and then flash to gingerbread before moving to ICS then?
Nope. Just Read the OP of that Guide and all will be clear... Just Read the 1st sentence of that OP...Lol

I flashed my Galaxy Note with German Stock ICS N7000XXLPY
I would like some information regarding updating my mobile to
UK Stock ICS N7000XXLQ2
Do I just overwrite my current ROM with pc-odin or do I need to wipe my phone or go back to the original Gingerbread Rom prior to updating to XXLQ2?
Many thanks guys

Recently updated mine from LPY to LQ2. Just used Odin to overwrite. All my apps etc., are still there, no problems at all. I think you only need to go back to GB if you want to wipe.
Thanks very much for the information.
Will give it a try later.
Kind regards

Kernel version:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build number

You will install Kies on your PC before, And put your Tab connect to USB. Well you can update via Kies.
sorry for my bad English
Good luck
hi there are no updates available thinking of rooting it but have no idea how and if i can do it with my tab i want version 2.3 or later
makes restock rom, recommend the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5" from overcome
and download your latest version (same region) from sammobile.com then flash it
Maybe you must to un-root your tab but I'm not sure that make you can update.
Warning all your data will be lost.

Yes there are plenty of ways to update your device.
You can simply install Samsung Kies, connect your tab and update to official gingerbread (2.3) or you can install a custom GB rom (Overcome Rom).
You can also choose to install ICS (4.0) or JB (4.1), various flavors like AOKP, CM9, CM10 etc.
To get started on custom GB or any other custom rom you should first root/stock your device using the Overcome guide/rom. The original thread is Here but the links are down so you should get the guide and safe-restock/rom files from the mirrors here.
Everything you need to do is included in the guide. Once you have installed Overcome rom you will be rooted and have a custom rom/kernel, from there if y0ou want to go up to ICS etc you simply put the rom on your sdcard, boot into recovery and flash the desired rom.
For me better upgrde to overcome rom..its more stable and have native 3g call..

Hi guys
I recently brought a 2nd hand n7000
This rom is totally stock, to be precise, it is a Hong Kong version 4.0.4
Since I want to improve the battery life and have a more defined rom.
I would like to root and install CWM.
Up to now, I understand that there's the infamous brick kernels out there. And I probably need to stay away from ICS.
But because of my n7000 is 2nd hand, i don't know much history about it.
i can not know for sure, that this n7000 is shipped with GB or ICS at the first place?
Or the last guy actually upgrade it from a GB.
My research in this forum tells me it's always better to start with the JB aka 4.1.2 stock.
My question is can i simply flash a HK 4.1.2 as a base without doing all sort of EMMC checking?
Then, flash kernel comes with root & CWM? And finally my rom of choice?
I would like someone could guide me and show me the SAFE way,
Thx in advance!!
Ya.. You can upgrade to JB.. Use of Odin or Kies. Then use Philz kernel to root and get cwm. Now you may proceed with custom roms.
Thx for answering.
I have successfully upgraded my n7000 to JB
it's ZSLR1 (Hong Kong latest stock JB)
Just one more question about rooting.
Can you help me check if this is the correct kernel?

I am planning to use the stock recovery method.
I am too afraid to brick this n7000 with "wrong" kernel

That kernel is fine if you plan to flash another 4.1.2 or touchwiz based ROM. If you plan on upgrading to kit kat or 4.3jb custom ROMs, you will need raw kernel instead.
