Hello,
I have bought Galaxy Note few days age. When connecting to KIES, it will recognize my phone, but gave a massage that the note is not gradeable.
I know I have the latest stock firmware in my region (KK2), but how can I get Kies to show "You have the latest firmware" so in future I can have official upgrades?
The phone is not rooted yet.
First option : Install latest Kies version then try,
Second option: Downgrade to KJ4 and then try to update via Kies.
Can I downgrade to KJ4 using mobile ODIN or it has to to be from PC?
In any case and before downgrading, I will Nandroid backup my original KK2 and restore it back if needed. This sound OK as will. Correct?
I am coming from SGS-1 and new to this.

I'm using DocRom 2.2 now and I want to update to stock 2.3, but Kies wont let me do it.
It basically says that the current version cannot be updated.
Do I have to flash a stock rom first and then update through Kies?
If so, where do I get a stock rom (swedish)?
if have a js8 room, you can update 2.3.3 jvh rom.
pls remove your kies program from pc. and visit samsung official website... download update version of it... install it on pc... restart your pc... and connect phone to kies with origianl samsung original usb cabl. and write us that what do your kies says? your rom is very old... you can update 2.3.3 step by step 2.2.1 to 2.3.3
Try this procedure : Galaxy S Android 2.3 update using Kies
Euro Tab
Just installed the Gingerbread official firmware from forums but Kies will still not show current firmware, when I installed a ROM before it changed the format.
Is there a way to put the Tab back to stock firmware so that it works with Kies again now that we have an official release rather than using Odin
Thanks in advance

English in the English forums please.....Whatever THAT language is it does not belong here.
Anybody
Still no answer is this not possible?
Just want to put tab back to out of the box state by re-flashing the tab using Kies.
I have done it using Odin and now have gingerbread but want it to sync with Kies for downloads again.
Well I did it.
I flashed Rotohammer v4 and used bootloader patch to see if there is a protected one. But as far as I know GB doesn't have protected bootloaders.
Then I flashed the P1000XWJJ4 firmware. Works for me. If this doesn't work try P1000XXJK5.
After that KIES recognizes your tab and offers you updates again.
Gtab DOES have protected boot loaders... They are generally loaded on from those official updates you seem to like... Be careful if you decide to put custom firmware on after reflashing stock as you might find you have a brick...
Can you clarify a bit more as I have flashed the official Gingerbread from Italy onto the device and it working fine apart from Kies does not show any firmware info.
Do I just need to flash the stock UK firmware including bootloaders when it is made avalible and then it should work again?
Tab states the following version info:
Firmware 2.3.3
Baseband P1000XXJPZ
Kernal 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build GINGERBREAD-XXJQ1
OK just tested again in Kies and it updated Kies to version 2
It now states:
This verision of the device can not be updated
Current firmware version: PDA:JQ1 / PHONE:JPZ / CSC:JQ1 (XEU)
Hopefully this means that when the UK update is released it will allow a force flash or something.
Hi I have the Czech version - KK5 firmware.
Today, on my phone I got a notification saying there's an update (about 70mb).
I downloaded it and tried to install it but when it rebooted, it said it was unsuccessful and that I should try with Kies again on PC companioin.
Now, is this because I rooted my phone? I currently have the original firmware rooted with CWM.
And I don't want to lose the root.
So should I go ahead and connect it to the computer and go through Kies?
Is there any other reason for my OTA update not working?
Thanks!

You can flash firmware with CWM and MobileOdinPro and keep root and CWM, read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784.
Download your firmware from Sammobile.com, unzip it and place it on your external sd-card and flash it.
You can not update officially through Kies/Fota when you have custom rom/kernel or root privileges afaik
Or just grab the stock Czech one from this thread (or any other stock, it ll be fine)

I have the stock czech that's on the site, but the new update came out today so i don't see the update in that link
can I just update to any other latest stock firmwares there?
Yes you can, I jumped between different stocks, from different countries (my main is United Arab Emirates), used Turkish and German with no issues so dont worry, just use Mobile Odin Pro (with everroot on) or CWM to retain the root , refer to the the previously posted link by Myamo for the CWM method (i would recommend mobile odin pro though, much easier and lazier well worth the money ^^)
I run through the zergrush rooting process and later installed Checkrom v5, with no problems at all.
Now I want to revert back to stock rom + unroot so I can use Samsung Kies to download new offical firmwares when they are released.
I downloaded N7000XBKK4_N7000OXXKK5_NEE (offical firmware for europe) and installed it though Odin. The phone boots and everything looks ok. The problem is that I'm not sure I've completely unrooted. An app called "Root Checker" said I was not rooted, but Samsung Kies still doesn't want to recognize my device.
I'm afraid to run the zergrush root and unroot again, since this is kinda new to me still.
Could anyone give me some pointers to get my phone to a complete stock state with no root?
Thanks alot in advance!
Option 1. Disable USB Debugging mode
Option 2. flash still Old Stock firmware using PC Odin
Option 3. Update Kies and USB Drivers
Option 4. Try different PC.
Thanks for the reply Ranjan.
I disabled USB Debugging mode, and now Kies can find my device, but it says my phone can't be upgraded through Kies. Any ideas?
I useually got this message when I had custom ROMs installed, but as I stated in my first post, I've flashed back to stock rom for Europe region (I live in Norway).
this could be due to your CSC. My guess is you are not on the same ROM version for your region. May be you should check for a more specific rom?
try this
N7000XXLA6---------2.3.6-------2012 February-------N7000XEULA1--------------Europe

I will give it a go anilisanil. Thanks for the reply
I updated to your suggested ROM, but kies now says "unit does not support software upgrades through kies", rough translated from norwegian.
Any more ideas?
So far u have latest update. so it ll say like that. anyway if your detects your phone then everything is OK.
Thanks Guess I'll just have to watch and see what happens when they roll out the new ICS update sometime soon
Thanks for all the help!

You can use Kies to update. Have the latest version of Kies installed in your PC. Let Kies to install the required files for your Phone.
Connect your Phone to PC via USB Data Cable. If there is an update for your Phone, Kies will detect and intimate you.
Another step is via Odin. You can hit the link here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ & find your desired Firmware and install using Odin. Its a manual process which you have to do (Most prefer this)
