[Q] Cap bought from AT&T rep, FroYo 2.2 on it, Official Froyo or not.

So I buy and sell phones, unlock them first etc then resell. I got one today from an AT&T rep, which he didn't tell me, I found out by other means. I am just curious if maybe ATT exmployees could have access to an official FroYo 2.2 update that we consumers don't, so I figured I'd post the info form about phone here. Also, if he knew how to flash romsm why the glitchy horrid unofficial version and not some cool amazing rom based on froyo from XDA ? It may be nothing but the un official update. Anyone who might know how to verify more or whatever, let me know. I want to know before I sell it up the river

[Q] Galaxy Note Lag/No updates

Dear forum members
In the word of Princess Leia you're my only hope,
I've been losing a lot of sleep over this matter so please don't tell my about how blazingly fast your Note is as every time I read about you lucky bu****s I get a sinking felling at the pit of my stomach.
I appreciate any help you can give.
You'd be forgiven for thinking:
A: This is a repeat thread
B: I'm Trolling if only that were the case
On last count five people in the forum link bellow have the same version & update problem.
Model Number: GT-N7000
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: N7000XXKK5
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566 [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
I'm not alone in that my version of the sim free Note only appears to update once when first switched on
To quote an older thread which reflects my own situation closely in all but two aspects in that my Galaxy Note lags and mine was bought in the UK
Quote forum (member: turshija)
(I know there are many threads asking the same question, and I've looked through many, but still haven't find an answer to my problems.
Just to clarify, my phone is not rooted, nor flashed, and I'm planning to leave it that way as long as possible, unless I really can't find any other solution for upgrading my phone
As soon as I've powered it on and connected to internet, I've got an update (OTA), which I installed as soon as I got home and plugged the phone to charger. Since then, I haven't got a single update, whenever I manually check I get "No updates!", and Kies says I have latest firmware, but im stuck on KK5 :S)(turshija)
Please note I have edited this quote.

The lag is most noticeable when trying to copy and past as it becomes almost imposable at times stoping then rushing to keep up with my finger.
When on the home screen swiping between windows and the same again in the stock browser can be slow
also when scrolling up and down a web page it gets quite choppy,
At times it can seem normal, while playing a game like asphalt 6 but every now and again the frame rate subtly skips a beat
coming from a single core iPod touch this is noticeably slower.
I have done a the LCD test *#0*# no problems detected
Looking at the RAM as a possible culprit in Options-Applications-Running services it shows that it has 178mb used and 500mb free yet in Task manager under RAM it has 437mb out of 800mb in use?
The question I'm trying to ask:
Is this a permanent situation do I have a faulty Galaxy Note or is it a matter of watch and wait for the ICS update or should I use factory reset?
As my mobile is past the return date, and until now I've never had a need for a warranty on anything from Samsung.
I don't even know how to apply for a Galaxy note Warranty?
************************************************************************************************************************
EDIT: 06/02/12
My Note is afflicted with the screen bug when set on a low light setting switching power saving mode off has had little effect.
When reading a web page or most notably in the stock Mini diary the back round colour changes ever so slightly from one hue to another sometimes taking a slight pinkish or blue colour.
Can anyone with the same Galaxy Note version posted above confirm the same problem?

I hate to break it to you but your phone is rooted, look at the kernel version. You dont need to be rooted just flash the latest stock Samsung Rom. You will not void any warranty and it takes care of the many issues from older roms

That's how I got the phone from Newegg. Is it normal that a phone comes with root from the store?

root your phone, it's easy and more or less safe if you do it according to instructions, then flash CriskeloRom for example and enjoy smoothness and absolutely no lags on your Note
Flashing doesn't require knowledge about dark magic, just some reading
Android was not designed to actually work out of the box, I mean it;s true potential can be seen after some tweaking

You need to update your firmware to LA4 and that is the lag free official update. and you will find all solution for your problems. you cant update this directly through Kies or from the device. download the firmware and Odin then flash it.

Forgive my ignorance but if I under stand you correctly when you say rooted do you mean to say that my phone has had a custom rom installed possible from a previous owner?
As the phone came to me in what I had a summed was a sealed box and full original retail packaging I even checked on Youtube to confirm this.
My apologies perhaps by rooted you mean it's not a sim free phone as I had originally assumed?

Thank you all again for the help

As an EX-Apple owner I find the idea of having to flash my phone as very intimidating.
I don't regret choosing this phone in fact I love it, but if at all possible I'd rather wait and have Samsung fix it for me.
I guess the question now will Samsung get off there behinds and to something, I don't mind waiting if it's just two months away but that might not be the case?

In all honesty I consider myself an idiot would you recommend Mobie Odin Pro as a relatively idiot proof way of flashing this phone?

There is a great guide to flash in the dev section. You should check it out. That's where I learnt about the phone!

mobile odin is easy to use and safe, no yellow triangle, no increase in flash counter, but to use mobile odin you have to be rooted first
read, there is a lot of good guides in note section, just follow instruction and you will be ok, I got my first android phone in november, flashed first rom 2 weeks later, phone is ok, still working it's really easier than it looks and well there is a lot of benefits, like customs roms and kernels which are tweaked and can bring best in devices.
good luck!

At this time I'm a little sleep deprived but will take your suggestion into consideration thanks indie and iceangel1980
The problem is I'm used to having it all done for me, I'm a lazy Ex-Apple user but I believe it will be worth flashing it in the end.
Thanks one and all, goodnight

Just root to make sure first.

More bugs
In the hope someone is still following this thread I've edited my original post to include the bellow - I hope to avoid posting an unnecessary second thread.
My Note is afflicted with the screen bug when set on a low light setting
switching power saving mode off has had little effect.
When reading a web page or most notably in the stock Mini diary the back round colour changes ever so slightly from one hue to another sometimes taking a slight pinkish or blue colour.
Can anyone with the same Galaxy Note version posted above confirm the same problem?
Is there any consense as to whether this is a software or hardware problem in which case I'll need to send this phone back to Samsung.

If your talking about the changing in hue when scrolling up and down, this was fixed in the newer firmware for a lot of people. If it doesn't fix the issue, then you may have a faulty screen. As suggested earlier, flash the latest stock firmware to make sure.

Thanks indie your a hero
Man this phone as much as I love it's overall design, It's quite nerve racking number of bugs for such a premium product.
I just wish Samsung would be more open about these problems:
We know there is this or that problem where working hard to fix it in a future update.
Not the have fun finding out if you have a faulty half a grand phone for the next two years approach.
That's business I guess.
Thanks again for indulging this neurotic thread starter.

My phone isn't rooted either, but it has the same text i.e. [email protected]#2.
What does that mean?

Hi, I just got a new white note and had the same saying [email protected]
The phone is not rooted as I mentioned earlier. You will need to follow the root procedure if you want to root the phone. Otherwise, just use Odin to flash any Samsung stock firmware. Do not flash custom firmware as this will increase your binary counter and void warranty.

Hi I have just bought a note and its pretty laggy in the browser, when waking, and earlier was frankly a dog when using the audio player at the same time as using the web - my S2 was nothing like this.
Just come across this post and LA4 is mentioned above but cannot find LA4 for uk - which stock / official ROM should i use?
thanks

Stock UK is KKA at the moment. 21st Nov build.
Stock Germany is at LB1 I believe now. 17th(?) Feb build.

[Q] How do I root my Telstra Galaxy Note GT-N7000B?

G'day all.
I've been searching, and I'm unsure on what to use to root my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000B (Telstra). It's a slightly different model number, and I just want to know is there a way to root the thing and install CWM without bringing up a triangle and increasing the counter? I already purchased MobileOdin btw.

Nope, no go, it's not directly rootable. Has anyone rooted an N7000B?

Why would you want to root it, that's what your wife or gf is for. jokes aside let me know how you go I just got mine on Tuesday and am yet to root it .

Well I am not sure if anyone has tried an N7000 rom on an N7000B. I didn't want to end up with a shiny new brick, thats why I asked here. I already have done a search and all I got was vague answers. Has anyone successfully flashed/gained root access on an N7000B?

I'm sure it would be fine. I am running ics on my N7000 but shows as I9220 in baseband as it's based on Chinese leak ROM with same hardware.

I would also like to know this. My phone is exactly as above (also from telstra au)
...I dont really care about the yellow triangle or counter though(I can sort that out later when there is more support for this model)
I would like to be sure that the process will not brick the phone, this would suck as its only 2 days old .
best if I know that someone else has done it first
thanks.

The n7000b is just a firmware. you can flash another firmware (and it will not brick your phone). the only down side to this is you won't be able to go on the telstra mobile websites, eg. mobile foxtel,

Anyone brave enough to try to root this one?
I just got my note today and would really like root access....

bump

I'm interested in seeing how this goes as well. The itch to root and flash something better than Telstra's rubbish is growing but I am nervous about the process (it seems vastly different to my old Desire).

I find the stock rom not too bad.. GREAT battery life, the only thing I want root for is to record my calls (use it for work).

I have a call recorder installed on my stock Note that doesn't require root. Got it off the market too.
It's called Call Recorder.....

I had a galaxy note n7000b and I downgraded thw firmware to a rootable version then went feom there, seems to be working fine except my wifi (everytime I try to use it it freezes) but other then that it seems fine, hope this helps

isnt mobile foxtel just an app...

Anyone done this yet?
I tried the call recorder apps off the Market but none seem to record properly, they just use the speaker.

My note originally from Poland (!) bought via UK back in early November (can't believe I've had my wonderful toy for over six months now!) Given that there were very few Notes back then and next to none in Oz, I was very nervous about rooting and flashing - the challenge you are facing today. I spend many days reading nearly all the threads before biting the bullet and doing my first root!
All I can recommend you do is read Dr Ketan's flashing guide very carefully and make sure you have a backup. I've had a few nervous moments with black screen but always been able to recover by rebooting into recovery and restoring a backup. I'm on Telstra and never had a problem with any firmware I've used (I don't using Telstra Foxtel)
I know that the latest version requires you to flash an older version of ROM before you can root, but once done you can remove all the annoying rubbish and use great programs like Titanium backup to backup and restore the apps you want and freeze the CPU hogs!
I hope that helps you - my experience was different and I felt very alone the first few times I flashed (never having done it before) but the forums have been a godsend in helping.
PS I have never used Mobile Odin - I have found that CWM does all I need it to

So if the WiFi freezes on the N7000B, would it use a different WiFi chip or something? I did hear that the N7000B supports 5GHz and 2.4GHz where the N7000 supports 2.4 only. Not sure if this is true

Hi, I've had the n7000B for awhile now. and flashed most of the firmwares from n7000 model with no problems. been on GB, ICS. all spec about these models are the same. but still haven't found out why this is B on our model.
anyway it is safe to flash n7000 on n7000b!

please help gb thinks is ics

ok im new and im sorry about that
i traded my iphone for a note that had ics on it i wanted to learn android with no roots hacks tweeks and so on so i tried to flash back it bricked and i un bricked it so now in about phone it says:

Ics upgrade question (changing region csc)

Hi iam a newbie
I have been seeing lots of thread where note users are willing to go back to GB from ICS
And also have seen threads with NOTE BRICKED with OFFICIAL ICS OTA GERMAN rom installed via kies or OTA .. And also about eMMC bug or somethkng i heard which requires the note to be send back to samsung.
I love my note on GB but ics is ics afterall thats why i want it but my question is and i apologise if it annoys anyone as i am a newbie
So if i change my region by the easiest method without any bricking risk of changing SCS TO DBT OPEN GERMAN and then upgrading to OFFICIAL ICS VIA KIES OR OTA so will all these errors, bugs and note getting bricked, eMMc bug etc etc
Are they likely to happen to me as well? ?
Or is ot only happening on those Galaxy note which have installed official ics open germany rom via odin and other risky ways. . Or only to those note who previously had rooted and were using on custom roms. .
So plz can anyone clear my confusion so i can finally decide weather or not to upgrade to ics. ..
tnx in advance
Details regarding my device : bought 3 weeks ago. Never rooted or used a custom rom and No intention of rooting or using custom rom in future.
Plz provide the advice so i can make a decision on weather or not to upgrade.

hello m8. Like u i'm also a newbie. I can tell you that i've recently bought my note, unlocked version.
Today i've rooted it twice, @ 1st using europe rom and then france rom with portuguese csc.
Rooted it teice because with the first riot in kies started to say that i couldnt upgrade it.
Then aftwr many reading i've decided to upgrade to 4.0.3. Used dr. Ketan guide in the dev section and worked fine on my phone. I've tested alnost everything and till the moment i have not encountered any bug or mal function.
But as they say in the post there are some reports of some bugs or even worst some notes that "died".
I leave here a screenshot after the update.
Cheers

Thnks for the info mate
But i really dont wish to root thats why after seeing the thread which said uograding by just changing region plua widout root thats what made me confident enuf to finally go ahead and upgrade and give it a try..
But still worries me as daily i see threads here created with someeones brick either stuck in odin or recovery etc or either bricked bc Of ics.
So i want ics the easiest way possible widout root and thats only possible by changing region using those codes and selecting DBT and then kies and OTA server treats ur note as a german made note and u can then upgrade to ics... So i wanted to know even those who have uograded this way hav they also the chance of getting these bugs and emmc errors brick etc
If yes then i will wait for a fixed update by samsung
