Hi guys, I want to upgrade my galaxy note to ICS since its finally out after taking forever but the thing I wanna ask before I do so is can I update to stock ICS through kies from a rooted room?
I am currently running 2.3.6 stock rom but rooted, can I just update it to ICS stock or do I have to unroot it then update?
Also after updating to ICS I assume all data will be wiped, is there a way to backup app data like games without using titanium backup?

usually you don't have to unroot. offical rom like to do the unrooting for you without even asking
if you go ICS with KIES, KIES do backup, but I don't know how far it backup. my friend's Galaxy S1 got some of the chinese names corrupted by KIES. seems korean are not good at handling chinese
if your data are important, do the backup yourself.
personally I don't care about SMS, contacts are all in google cloud, angry birds backed up by "angry birds back up"
titanium backup is known to be failing with system apps data restore, but it should be good enough to backup your game saves
Ok thanks for the answer, but I think I will wait for the next ICS update since the current one is a prototype and has lock screen missing. I waited so long for ICS, not a problem to wait some more for a stable full release. HURRY UP SAMSUNG!

Does anyone have any info regarding the froyo update for Bell Canada users ?
is it avail yet? via kies?
I haven't rooted or lag fixed - strictly stock here.
Whats the best way to back up all my apps -- can Titanium pro do this ?
Titanium Backup is one of the best IMO. But you'll need root acces to run it. If you want to know why! Because Titanium also back up your paid apps and system apps. Be carefull about system apps as you really don't want to restore them on a different firmware than the one they've been back up from. So make sure you only restore apps you really installed yourself. When you will be ready to restore your apps on froyo just go trough the list and make sure you uncheck any apps you don't know about cause it could cause you problem to restore gtalk from eclair on froyo (exemple). Once you start the restore process on Titanium Backup you won't be prompted for your approval for every application by android as you would be if using another program to restore them. TB will install all of them on his own and even restore their market link. Once complete just restart the phone and open the market to see all you installed apps again and be informed about available update.
This is really the best available program to back up and restore apps but you need a rooted phone. Don't worry about warranty you can always unroot a phone after your procedure.
Regarding the availability of froyo update just do a little research and you'll find an approximate date cause it's not there (officially) for now but should be soon.

Thanks alot buddy. I just downloaded the Z4 Root app. Does this work with i9000m ? can anyone confirm ?
If so I'm gonna root my phone this aft. and back up my stuff!
When updating, i hear the best thing to do is a factory reset after update.
Once I boot back into the phone with Froyo, do I install Titanium Back up ? then open the app and hit "restore" ? I'm assuming it would look on my SD card for my "old" back up of apps ? I can only assume it doesn't back up stuff to a cloud/server.
Also, is this internal SD it backs up to or external SD
There was the first week of December floating around, and now I don't even know anymore.
Seems everybody has it now except us...
Yeah a good number of us I9000M users have updated to an unofficial bell ROM leaked a week or so back.
If you want the official rom, the last I heard was mid December.
If you do the unofficial route do some reading before hand before you decide. Many I9000M users have had corrupt internal SD cards, which result in a trip to a bell store for service.
You have been warned !
Lovely people at Vodafone UK have allowed me to upgrade 6 month early for no extra cost to the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Was going to wait for Nexus Prime but hey, you know. It's waiting isn't it?
Going to run both phones as I love the Nexus.
My question is this, I currently have all my Nexus apps on an ext4 partition running Darktremors a2sd.
If I use titanium backup to do a full backup, can I then install titanium on a rooted Galaxy, transfer the backup files over and restore all missing apps using Titanium?
If not, is there an easy way to move apps without having to redownload them all?
Am currently running latest MIUI ROM.
Many thanks
I've done this with my wifes G2 - MT4G switch... No problems...
Hi all, I've a very simple question: I finally decided to upgrade my Froyo 2.2 Galaxy S to Gingerbread and I'm trying to understand if I'll lose all my apps or not.
A friend of mine, who has an unbranded Galaxy S, says that he didn't loose his apps... It's not that I don't trust him, but I can't find anything on the web that confirms this thing!
Thank you for your help
EDIT: I'm going to use Kies for the upgrade, so I'm going to install an official firmware
You will keep all of your apps, but if you want to feel more comfortable you can always use Titanium Backup to make a backup of your apps.
The official upgrade process will keep your apps and data...

Those apps that you install later on? It's gonna be wipe out during the upgrade process. Usually people don't recommend backing up apps and data from different OS build (like from froyo to gingerbread)
Hey all,
I'm rooting my Galaxy Note to install ICS Stunner for the first time, I have rooted my HTC Desire so I do have some experience, hell I even had to do a bit of hex-editing for that!
I've got the general idea of what to do but I still haven't found out if my apps will get wiped when I root my phone.
My kernel version is LC1 and Build number is GINGERBREAD.XXLC1 - I found that this can't be rooted the easy way by dr. ketan and have to use the PC Odin tool to flash the N7000XXKK9 rom - but this will wipe my apps and data?
Is there any way of backing up the apps and data on my LC1?
Thanks!

Why would you want to try to flash a Beta on an expensive phone when you don't even know what Odin does?
It's your ass.
Odin does wipe your apps and data, and replaces your build -- Make sure it's the correct build. Other wise you'll have a piece of shiny paper weight.
Use Titanium Backup (or any other backup app that doesn't require root), and backup to your microSD if you want to make sure your apps and data is saved.
ICS Stunner is a pretty complete rom and even if samsung release their ICS for note soon, I prefer the stock android to touchwiz (which samsung will never provide). It is pretty difficult to brick the Note.
My main question is that can I root my LC1 Note without loosing apps and data? So then I can use Titanium backup to backup what I need before flashing ICS Stunner.
If you are still on stock unrooted you can backup manually using Kies or some free apps available in Google Play, like Airdroid. Rooting does not wipe your data/apps. The method shown by dr.ketan is basically there to show you how to root your phone safely.
From what I've read around the forums, I cannot root my version LC1 using the conventional method and that I have to flash a rootable rom through Odin, I'm now guessing there is no way to save my apps data...
Re download them? If you don't have a million different useless apps, then these shouldn't be much of a problem. Then there is Titanium Backup...which I think is utter garbage, but to each his own.

Lets face it once After that you can always restore the backup !!
Take the hard step of losing all apps and data (can save some using google, kies and some free basic apps) once to unleash the beast within!!
Cheers!!!
Enjoy your Note!!
There's a thread in the Developers section with pre-rooted stock roms. You can just flash any of those (though I suggest you just take LC1) with Odin without increasing the counter and if you don't tick the re-partition box then all your apps and data should still be there when you've flashed the rom. Then just install CWM Recovery and Titanium, backup everything and flash any rom you like.
Worked like a charm for me.
But it says LC1 is not directly rootable? Update: Ah I was looking at wrong thread, OK this is what I need, thanks man!

Rooting will not delete your apps and data.. you better take back up using titanium back before routing just to be safe..
Titanium Backup requires root access. Which means you cannot use it if your Note is still unrooted.

Hello, I just received the 5830 Galaxy Ace of my girlfriend. I need to fix it, but before I do I would like to check if I am going to do the right procedure. She says it's slow, touch does not respond always, she has some connection problems. This is the info I have.
She has NO backups. No numbers, no pictures, nothing. The device is not rooted.
I already read some topics about Samsung phones and I noticed the software and procedures are slightly different than my Sony Xperia S. What I am going to do is:
Backup device (full backup?) with Samsung Kies. Just to be sure. Then doing an update with Kies to 2.3.7, stock. This is the latest for the Ace, right?
If the backup can be easily restored, I would like to wipe the device ofcourse. But I really have to be sure if I can restore the phonenumbers, sms, pictures, whatsapp on this unrooted device.
Edit: Change of plans. I noticed kies does not see a newer version than 2.3.5... Also backing up does not work like expected. I think I an going to root the device, backup all with Titanium Backup. Then flash the 2.3.6 Spain Stock firmware, root and restore most of the settings. Better idea?
Thanks in advance,

best thing to do with her phone is this.
first her contacts. save it to her gmail account.
pictures back it up(save it to a USB/Hard drive/ PC) before doing anything with the phone.
sms try a SMS backup and restore app from the market
whatsapp? messages? I'm not sure if you can backup the messages on it.
now with the new stock.
You don't need to root the device. (but you do if you want to use Titanium - I don't see a good thing with you using this app. just do the stuff I wrote above)
download Odin, your preferred stock version. (If you don't know how to flash via Odin. there's a tutorial here somewhere. )
2.3.7 is the Cyanogenmod......anyway maybe u should try flashing one of the stock based custom rom in the Development Section ...
