hello i rooted three days ago and all was workinf fine till today i got an alert that i can upgrade to android 2,,3,6 and i dowmloaded it but when i got to install it said phone will reboog then it says media files copying stops in middle and starts phone with message that upgrade failed and that i should use kies or go to a service centerplease advice
if i'm not mistaken if you rooted your phone, you wont be able to update the firmware using kies.
happened to me while i'm on Galaxy tab 10.1 update from HC 3.1 to HC 3.2.
Just use custom rom instead.

Yep no update when on root. Flash the original firmware then you can upgrade
Do i have to flash a rom or just unroot will be enough?
if i have to flash how can i get an original rom
To get an original ROM, check the first post on Android Development Section on Galaxy Note by dr. ketan. It has all the stock roms, also info on unrooting.
thank you
as much as dr ketan is aiming for simple solutions to root and unroot his manual is not simple at all.
i Unrooted using his steps and it was succeesful but the update is not installing also..
do i have to root then burn a stock rom then unroot ? or it is engouh to root again burn custom rom and do the firmware update
please tell me a 1 2 3 steps

i rooted my galaxy note,
now when i go to software update
it doesnt update it
it doesnt even opens
like it used to give an error that no updates available before i rrooted it..
helppp
what rom are you using?
its stock rom.. inbuilt that i got with my cell
As far as I ma aware, if you updated a rooted device you will lose root. Your best bet is to find the stock ROM you want (and that may take a bit of searching) and flash it manually.

Update using Samsung Kies. LA5 is not available via OTA yet.
i have a unit with UBKK1 baseband version, which i learned was a brazilian rom. Now i currently live in the Philippines and i cant get an ICS update thru kies here because of the rom. i went to the samfirmware site and found a Philippine rom, my question is can i flash this rom over the old GB brazilian rom using odin without any problems? my phone is currently unrooted thru the one click method, it was previously rooted thru the same method.
Ive also read you can change the country code, if i change it to the Philippine code and update thru kies will it work??
if you change the csc then yes you should be able to upgrade with kies tho i always download the rom i want then use pc odin its just a personal preference
Why don't you download Stock ICS ROM directly.... And flash it using pc odin??
can i download any stock ICS rom and just flash it with odin without any problems?
Yes you can.
Ive just now rooted my note on brazilian rom (stock GB rom), if i upgrade to the taiwanese rom using pc odin will i still retain root? and do i need to uncheck the usb debugging before proceeding with pc odin?
No you wont keep root.
Yes uncheck usb debugging.

He will keep root if he uses Mobile Odin Pro to flash the firmware
Indeed he will. But it was never mentioned, so I didnt want to bring it up.

if you want to flash phone in odin then phone should be in download mode,usb debugging is not matter,and you can root your phone again after flash,vie cf root make search at xda you will found that.

I would buy Mobile Odin Pro from the market, and flash this rom from here http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156659405/b6c3080/N7000DXLP9_N7000OLBLP6_XTC.zip.html . This will flash the correct rom and keep root.
thanks for all the helpful replies, i was able to successfully flash taiwanese ics firmware update using pc odin. and you guys are right, i did lose root. now the only problem is how to go back on root as i've frozen a lot of apps on titanium backup before and those apps aren't showing after the update. it seems like flashing over to a newer firmware didnt reset the phone. all my previously installed apps are still there.
Guys, after updating to ics, i couldn't install apks using astro file manager or even the stock file manager.Pressing the install button won't work. Previously on gb stock rom everything works. Is this an ics bug?

root phone with cfroot....

Hi
The wife's Note is presently on stock rooted ICS running a custom kernel (can't remember which one of the top of my head). I want to update it to JB, but want to go down the path of least resistance (i.e. avoiding having to reinstall all the apps, etc).
I guess the first question is, can I update via OTA or KIES?
I presume if I update via OTA or KIES (I have an updated rom notification on OTA) I will loose root (even if I use OTA Rootkeeper?) and the custom kernel (reverting back to stock kernel).
FYI - not really fussed about re-rooting as wife doesn't really need to seem to need a rooted phone.
Thanks in advance!
If rooted with a custom kernel the OTA updates won't work.
Make a complete backup in recovery of the note
and
download one of the no-wipe, rooted Custom Roms and install it.
Thanks. I think I may do a total unrooted of stock JB.

Not really necessary. I repeat. Make a backup and use a no-wipe JB Custom Rom (like my own) and try with this.
Hi
Just a quick follow up, can I flash stock JB via Odin rather than Kies and avoid a wipe?
Thinking Odin, as am having problems with Kies recognising the phone (MTP error).
Flash the JB with PC Odin.
Forgive me I am a noob. I recently rooted my AT&T S5 cause was waiting for the 5.0 update to come out. I decided to go back to stock and upgrade and removed the root all except the bootloader still appears with custom when starting phone and is only trace of root is all can seem to find but is keeping me from installing new 5.0 as it gets to 28% and restarts says unable to install instillation interrupted. How can I replace bootloader with stock one and where may I find one? Any and all help appreciated. I am running 4.4.4 android and is a SM-G900 AT&T S5 with kernel G900AUCU2AOA1.

Install Samsung Kies on your PC/MAC, and try flashing a new firmware with Kies. Follow the on screen instructions
I have tried that and tell me that my software is up to date have also tried a few different stock roms which were supposed to work with my phone with Odin and they all fail.
Flash the file in this thread.

I bought a s advance from oman(asian arab country) it is on gingerbread and when i check for updates no update is being shown? Are there other models of s advance with no update from gingerbread? If so the rooting and flashing rom procedure are same or different?

Hi there.
1. It's necessary to note that samsul not do the update again on device S Advance through direct ota for those who still use the stock Gingerbread (GB). While still using the stock GB I once never get a firmware update but only minor updates. BUT you can to do firmware updates manually, by downloading firmaware directly from some of the sites that provide specific firmware for your country, such as: sammobile*com, samsung-updates*com.
Note: I assume if you expect an update to a firmaware. But if you run into problems updates an application from playstore, then I suggest you to do a wipe applications through: settings - application - select playstore and wipe data. Then try reboot. But if it still doesn't work then, try to wipe data / factory reset through default recovery.
2. If you still want to use the stock GB and want to root your device, then you can follow a guide on the thread here. You can try some of the menu that is available there may exist that are suitable for firmware are you using now. Honestly I never tried it.
3. For flashing method is the same on every device model samsung, using Odin application. For the method of rooting the device janice as far as I know have several methods, depending on which firmware you use now. If you are using firmware Stock GB then you can follow the above method. But if you use the stock firmware Jelly Bean (JB) then you can use the method on a thread here.
Hopefully it helps & Good luck.
So the matching firmware i download i can flash it using odin without needing root or anything?and if i dont update and root gingerbread,can install cm11 from gingerbread?
The end result im looking for is cm11 running on my device. Your help is much appreciated

No.. Just flash from stock GB to Stock JB via odin. And.. Done.
I cant find the exact firmware for my country. Will flashing other countries firmware brick my device?
