Hey,
I just bought the Note this week and already got it rooted and cwm installed.
Now I have a few beginner Q's:
1. If I got it right, the Note update system is divided to three: radio/modem, kernel and rom.
what's the different between those three, how can I know what's the latest official update for each one?
2. when I try to update the phone from "about phone" it gives me an error and reffers me to Kies.
when I try to update from Kies it says the the firmwire does'nt support updates.
how can I solve the problem?
3. My Note specifications in the "about phone" section are:
hxxp://i41.tinypic.com/5ju0ea.jpg
what does every detail says? which ones are permenant and which ones can I update and modify?
Thanks in advance

First read carefully, then reread carefully, then rereread carefully and when you think you got it reread it 10 times if you still have questions reread everything. When you stop having questions or stop thinking of you as a newbie on this area then you can try to flash, and then you can ask some questions.
On my country we have a sentence : asking around will you give the way to the city.
Ok with it, if you know where you want to go and how and when. If you have more then 1 unknown on your sequence then something is wrong. And mistakes can worth you money.

Your image says

Your modem if not flashed to KJ4
Your kernel also old
You need to read installation guide, go to last link of my signature n read till you makes everything clear.

Hi. I have a newly purchased SGS which runs android 2.1. When I connect it to my laptop via the usb cable and run Kies, I get a message in bold letters saying "This version of the device cannot be updated", in the firmware information tab.
It shows "Current firmware version: PDA:JG8 / PHONE:JG2 / CSC:JG9 (DBT)"
I want to upgrade to 2.2 and 2.3, or directly to 2.3 (if possible), without rooting my phone.
This phone is purchased from Saudi Arabia and did not have the Market app, Youtube app, Maps app and Navigation app initially. But when I selected restore factory settings from settings menu, I got all of the above apps installed automatically.
I have latest version of Kies installed.
Please, please help me how to upgrade without rooting my device.
If you want, you can download the latest UK Gingerbread XXJVT ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289875
then follow the steps to manually flash a new ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
Thanks for the reply. I found the "how to install guide" in the first link itself. Gotta take some time though to get it installed as I have a pretty slow connection.
Just make sure you back up you data before flashing!
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S
I have downloaded the following files:
i9000XXJVT.zip (android 2.3.5) &
Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.2bm.tar
I have read the how to guide and want to instal the new firmware!
Am I good to go?
waiting for reply !
How about Odin? I see that you chose the BM version of Semaphore, just take note that it'll screw up your 720p video recording.
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S
Hi sorry about replying so late. Busy in exams! Well I downloaded odin 1.83 from a website (don't remember the name). And I downloaded the normal version of semaphore too.
Hey.... Thanx for being patient with me! I was quite upset to see that my phone would not be upgraded but now I believe that the latest firmware for my device is only a few clicks away! Thanx alot.
So am I ready? To flash?
It's our carriers fault for not providing the latest firmware, UK usually gets the latest firmwares first.
Yes you are ready to flash. Just take note that by installing the semaphore kernel, your phone will be immediately rooted, just reminded you because of what you've written in your first post.
Just follow the steps on flashing a firmware then after that, flash Semaphore kernel.
Good luck! I hope you'll love your new firmware. The performance improvement will be very noticeable compared your current Eclaire FW.

Hi... I just flashed my SGS!! Everything looking good!!
Wanted to ask, do I have to "wipe Cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset"? Its given in the how to install guide.
And i have downloaded the JVT phone fix But I dont know how to install it.

Don't bother with the phone fix unless you really have constant phone force closes, because it might make the problem worse. If you had wiped everything before flashing, you don't have to wipe again.
Also, I noticed that you downloaded semaphore's kernel. But you said you didn't want to root your device. Well, semaphore's kernel, as well as all custom kernels here, are rooted. So, if you don't want root, just flash only the files from that JVT.zip which you downloaded.
Yes. I understood that. And I still don't want to root but a member of the forum said I should make an efs-backup since I'm flashing for the first time. Thats why I downloaded the semaphore kernel. Have not yet touched that though.
Is it okay without the efs-backup? I have flashed my phone and its working almost fine. Only thing is Boot up is pretty slow and after start-up, I get a message about some service (related to samsung) has stopped working.
Rest of it, I'm loving it! Its fast!!
Dears,
I require help from you. My galaxy note has stock ROM and is very laggy.
PDA:KL3/PHONE:KL1/CSC:KL1(INU).
I read in some threads that with KL7 firmware, lag disappears completely.
i have few questions.
1. I want stock ROM and when i try to connect with kies, it says 'this is the latest firmware'. i bought this from India and Im currently in saudi arabia.
2.where will i get the STOCK ROM for KL7 and how to put in my note?
3. Will this 'unofficial' way clean up my data?or will my apps and setting remain as it is after update.
appreciate your replies.

1.This is latest ROM for India, thats why kies says.(you have purchased from india)
2. Read My signature
3.It has no relation with way you are updating, Dont select 'Re-partition' option while you flashing with Odin, so you will not lose data, but it is always advisable to backup first.
Now another thing, if you install KL7 by odin, you will not able to Root it later. If you want Rooted KL7, you need this
- Get ROOT + CWM in present ROM (read My signature)
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from market
- Now download Stock firmware, as i advised you earlier, n Flash your device with Mobile Odin Pro, with ' ever Root' option enable
thanku buddy
im sorry. but i downloaded a file N7000XXKL7_N7000OXAKL7_N7000XXKL7_HOME.tar.md5. now i see 4 options in ODIN: bootloader/phone/csc/pda. now where i should i associate this field.???
also since my csc is INU and this seems DBT is there anything should i b doing??? . pls gime detailed steps
just to select PDA, as you seen in guide.
got it right.upgraded to kl7. thank you dr.
I am confused. This is the latest firmware, but it is still carrier specific, correct?
Is there a firmware that is 'pure samsung galaxy note' which hasn't been manipulated by the carriers?
I guess KL8 is the latest firmware.

Hi guys!
I noticed today that there were a system update for my optimus 2x.
But after it downloaded it said validating software package and returned an error stating that the package was invalid..
Has anyone else bumped into this problem? Is it because my phone is rooted?
It is otherwise stock.
Thank you so much for your help!

Okay.
So can i ask how do i unroot the phone using CWM?
I looked at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554&page=2
it talks about installing a recovery.zip using CWM, but will it unroot the phone or not?
Thanks!
The name says it all and it is sticky in dev section...

Hi and thanks for the answer!
you see, my phone is already rooted. I need to unroot it in order to get the latest update from LG installed on my phone.
The reason for this is that when i download the update OTA and try to install it, i get an error message stating that i have a invalid software package.
And the reason for this as i understand, is that the phone is rooted.
i have read the roll up thread you linked to, but it does not state anywhere how to unroot the phone. And thats what i need help to do
Use smartflash and put some older version on it, then update it to current version. It will be unrooted.
Thank you for the answer, will try that!
But im struggling a bit to find the older versions though. The links to them are either down or broken. I need the EUR version.
You can flash stock v20q via cwm. If you said that your phone is rooted, install cwm and then flash this stock v20q.
If you want to downgrade, then update using lg update tool, you need smartflash and some older firmware like Euro v10d.
You need to read and search, really, all is here on the site.
At least press the thanks button if my posts are helping you, it is right here.
Thank you for the reply.
I will flash with the v20q one you mentioned. Its the version im trying to upgrade to anyway, så this seems better instead of downgrading it to stock, then upgrading using OTA!
Hello,
i got an rootet Note with CWM v3.0
My software version is 2.3.6, my band is XXKK5, bought in Austria.
I would like to do an update, my phone says there is no update, so i would choose manually.
I have not much knowledge about mobiles, so always read here (same when i did the root)
But as more i read, the more confused i get.
I dont know what file to choose, that fits with my baseband, i read this is important.
My noobish idea was, i could find a file and do the update with CWM to keep root.
Anyway, i could do the root again after the update, i think.
Can you please tell me what to do and point to me where to start?

If you are already rooted, use mobile Odin if you are willing to flash an stock firmware. You can choose any of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18978158
Or get one from www.sammobile.com
In Dr. Ketans thread you have how to flash using mobile Odin. Take into consideration that if you are going to flash a 4.0.x firmware you also will need to flash a safe kernel to avoid the brick bug.

Hi all,
This morning I tried to root my brother phone by using the "1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery.".
Link
After downloading the zip file, copied it onto the external sd card, I applied the update from external storage. Now, my brother phone won't boot.
I am here to visit and now my day is stuck trying to fix this.
Here are two things that I should have done in hind sight.
1. I should have backup his contact information.
2. I should have check his ROM versiion (i.e. ICS or Jelly Bean).
Now, the only thing that I can do is getting into "Philz Touch 5".
I could do backup and restore.
Here are two questions that I have.
1. Is there way I can backup the contact in "Philz Touch 5"? Is this include in the "data" backup.
2. Can recovery this back to previous unrooted "kernel" or origninal kernel.
It seemed that I can also run "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in Kies. It prompted me for the model and serial number and it asked whether I want to proceed. But that would wipe everything.
EDIT: I just tried KIES's "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and it failed. The pop up with a message in "square boxes". I guess it failed doing "Firmware Upgrade and Initialiation." :[
Please, any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Leapfrog.
Okay, I downloaded "N7000ZSLO2 N7000OZSLO2 - Taiwan" from here, installed it and got it back up and running too. Contact list is still remain intact. However, I am not sure it is the right ROM for US T-Mobile model because I got H+ and occasional 3G.
My brother said his is an international version. I am not sure if the correct for his phone.
Can someone please point me to the correct ROM for US T-mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000?
Thanks!!!!

1. Philz kernels are specific to rom version, so lp9 must be flashed with lp9 rom.
2. Goto settings about phone and double check the model number before you do anything else.
3. Urm, think the clue is is the rom title you downloaded (korea)! Go through Dr Ketan's thread and it outlines rom localities.
