Hi everyone.
I am new to this forum. Thank you in advance for being patient with me.
I bought my galaxy note in the Middle East specifically Dubai. I am now in the Philippines. My note is still not rooted.
If I update my note here in the Philippines using Kies will it be updated to the ASIAN firmware instead of the Middle Eastern/Arabic firmware? I am reluctant to do any updating because I don't know what I might lose.
no kies checks the Pcode of the phone and it updates/checks for it. on dial pad put *2767*4387264636# then you will see something like this N7000ZBADBT the 3 last letters are for the region and the carrier who was sold the NOTE. in this DBT means it is a German career free device. ZBA means a 16gb blue note and ZBE is the white note or the 32gb blue note don't remember which was it.

So can I update using kies in the Philippines even if my fw is Middle Eastern/Arabic or should I install/flash a ASIAN fw first before updating thru kies in the Philipines?

If you want the Arabic fw then just connect and update. If you want a Philippinen fw then you have to flash it with a original Samsung Philippinen fw and then connect to kies to update, if you haven't flashed the latest one for this region.

I have read that the Galaxy S update is released on Kies for Norway, Sweeden does this include Generic ROM for UK ??
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy although there is no branding on the case the ROM boots with t-mobile screens.
Is there a way I can get Kies to update it by fooling it into thinking its an unbranded phone? (This is providing the newly anounced update wil work in the UK in the right language??)
If you do the registry hack you should be able to see this firmware on Kies. Have a look at the JP6 on Kies thread
Not sure I understand it all which is strange as I messed around with my hero all the time. Will the stock update work in the uk on t mobile ?

2 weeks ago I connected my GNote to mycomputer, Kies Started and notify me by a new firmware update is available , Then I select yes.
Don't upgrade to 2.3.6, since I get this update I feel my GNote become slow, even slower than Galaxy S II.
I want to remove it, and downgrade it But I don't know how? GNote performance on 2.3.5 was better and faster
Regards;;
I upgraded this morning to 2.3.6 as have had a few random reboots with 2.3.5 lately. No speed issues for me, just as fast and smooth with 2.3.6 as before. No 'features' discovered yet either. It also scores the same as before on Antutu bench marking.
As for how to, this is an over the air update, no Kies involved. I simply did a manual check for updates this morning and installed it.
Just wonder if this has happened to everyone. Got an "software update" then it says its updated to "NT 7000 XXKKA"?

Me neither! I too got the Handtecski version
If you got the Handtec edition you have to change your CSC to XEU (for UK) from KOR for Kies / OTA to recognise your device as being eligible for updates.
You can do this (WARNING: This will factory reset your phone) by going into the dialer and typing:
*#272*IMEI#
(where IMEI is your phones IMEI as found in Settings > Status)
This should give you a menu of CSC to choose from. XEU is UK which is eligible for the Kies update right now, others will probably follow soon if they havent already. If you leave it at KOR it will never update as KOR is the no-mans land of CSC.
When is the KOR one going to have an update? Is it safe to just wait for the official one without changing anything? Asking on behalf of a friend who is peranoid which i understand cause we paid 700 for these damn things. Mine came from Germany so i have the update, he is still waiting for his.

Changing csc will perform a full wipe, so don't do if on ics without installing a safe kernel!

upgrade not supported
Even if I flashed the official 4.0.4 firmware ORS version - N7000XXLRI_N7000OXXLP8_N7000XXLRB_HOME, I'm unable to upgrade firmware via Kies. The Kies writes the upgrade is not supported, actual version: PDA:LRI, Phone:LRB, CSC LP8 (KOR).
I need to send the device to service, how can I make the phone compatibile with kies again?
#272*.... returns connection problem or invalid MMI
Thank you
i dont think they will care if its connecting to kies or not... if on an official firmware and no counter, they will be more than happy
why are you sending it in?
you made efs backup before flashing any rom?
The rom you flashed same csc as original on phone?
You are not rooted?
You have all components of same rom version?
Rom on it is it a stock rom?

I bought a N7000 from France and brought it To Samsung in Singapore to upgrade my OS from GingerBread to Ice Cream Sandwich.
Now KIES cannot detect my device...
Whats wrong ??
Please advice.
when you say kies cannot detect the device, does that mean no phone shown on kies or, it says that the firmware upgrade not supported by kies

The CSC which made Kies working was ORS (probably because I have now installed ORS version of stock rom?). Just for some reason #272xx code didn't work until I have entered the above mentioned code, *#*#43xxxxx. Only after that I was able to change the CSC and it finaly works. Many thanks to all of you.

So i have decided to install this one .. but i want to know if there is going to be any problem because my phone has a lot of csc codes but not dbt. will there be any problem when i install it??? do i need to choose from the ones that my phone has the csc code installed????

are you sure? I dont want to break it..
Also will it change the csc codes that are installed??
or are they preinstalled fron samsung and they cant be changed ....? Because i would like to change it back to my countrys csc code..
I guess it will remain on ur country's code only cuz when I installed a diff country's firmware on my note the csc retained
As nokiamodeln91 said, csc will remain. It won't cause any problems to have the csc set to anything other than Dbt.

What i want to ask is that my phone doesnt have at csc list the code dbt which represents germany, will i have any problem after installing the german firmware without having the dbt code at my phones list?

no problem..except may be kies / ota updates.. but then u can always download the latest version from sammobile
Actually if you flash by pc odin or mobile odin the csc code is completely obsolete. It matters for ota/ kies updates only.

I totally agree. When I flashed XXLRT I got from sammobile, and never bothered with Kies again. PC Odin was more reliable, having more control with the download and flashing. The release of Germany updates is also sooner than Kies or OTA for other phone.
