Being overeager i Flashed the official stock ICS 4.0.3 German build onto my note using PC odin, everything went ok and the phone is running great. (i was on stock 2.3.6 and unrooted before)
I plan to remain unrooted and on stock for now, but just came to know about the issues people are having with ICS and bricking.
So my question is am i in the clear? or should i revert back to GB?
Thanks in Advance =)
stay on it and keep unroot because probably issues come from CWM
Well, if you are planing to stay unrooted then you are safe...
also if i remain the way i am, will i recieve further OTA updates from samsung?
just to be totally clear, am i in the clear for now if i stay this way!? if i want can i revert back to stock GB using PC Odin?
Also if in the future samsung send out another official update will i get that OTA? or do i have to use another manual method!?
You are very safe, don't worry bro.
I think you should still get the OTA updates but I say flash the stock ICS for your region whenever it comes out.

Hi Friends,
I see that the ICS Update will arrive sometime between may/june. i have a rooted Galaxy note using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i just wonder when the time comes do i have to unroot to update or can i just update.. im new at this android world so i would appreciate any help i can get, thanks
Dont worry, sure you will get update to ICS
But how you have to update this can mentioned only after release of ICS, And yes it take few hrs to know just after release of ICS, you need is to just stay tuned here.
Just remember i said above in term of keeping your root intact. If you dont want to keep root, just you can flash Stock ROM of your country anytime, N just update ICS over Kies whenever it release over Kies.
Hi,
I have similar question. Previously I had a KK5 rom before I gave my note to Samsung in warranty for screen replacement. They flashed XLA4 rom and CSC is also changed now to JPLA1. Now KIES says it cannot upgrade my ROM. My question is: is it still possible to receive OTA updates (including ICS when it is available). Please note that my phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance.
To get update with Kies/OTA
your device should have installed ROM from your region, as well CSC should also be same as your region
Check CSC with *#272*IMEI#
Remember, changing CSC will wipe off data.
Sorry to bother you again. using *#272*IMEI# shows JED (which is correct for Saudi Arabia). There are other options to choose from e.g. KSA (which I think is also for Saudi Arabia but I don't know). Do you think changing will solve the problem? And is there any other danger (other than wiping the data) with changing the CSC? Thanks again.
Nothing more thn data wipe happen after changing csc.
Your installed rom shud b same for your region as csc.
If your rom is older for region, kies will show msg, you have update. If your rom is latest for this region, kies will msg you have latest firmware.
In other condition kies won't recognise your rom n won't allow to update.

Sure, when updating to stock you will lose the root, so you dont need to worry about that...You can look around and there are ways to flashing to next version if you want to mantain the root, tools like mobile odin can help you with that..... but i do recommend you to take a look arround the forum, you like me probably end up using custom roms

I think that you should go through the threads which are meant for newcomers who want to play with their phone and roms so that you know how to recover your phone if something goes wrong because doing things without proper knowledge can change your phone into a beautiful paper weight.Go through the following thread which can give a clear idea about flashing official ICS for Germany but I strongly advice to think and proceed or probably wait for your country's turn to get official ICS...
Anyways here is the link...

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

Hey everybody, I want to sell my device and want to flash the original Rom back to the device.
Unfortunately I don't have a Backup from back then..
I have an unbranded Incredible S from Germany, Can anybody give me a link to the gingerbread stock rom?
It doesn't matter if it is still rooted, I just want to be able to get the new ICS OTA
Thanks!

This is the GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROM that will get the ICS OTA:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/1za...22U_3822.01.08.14_M_release_252414_signed.exe
Could it be that this is the ICS OTA?

That is the full blown ICS / Sense 3.6 RUU/ROM. You could also download and install that.
Not getting picky, but this should be in general not development. its ok just rmbr nxt time

My Note is running official 4.0.4 (rooted) and I was prompted by the official ota update several times but unable to successfully update. How come? Do I have to undo root? If so, how? Thanks

You won't get any official update if you are rooted. To unroot check Dr Ketan's thread.

Thanks for the replies. Been so long since I last tinkered my Note. Have to do a lot of backreading...I just updated my Kies PC software and its still having connecting problems with my phone lol
just wait for the custom rom it will be better than official rom
Good ROMs
No more wait.
My two cents, goods ROMs you can try are Team Union, Alliance, Sweet, Eybee reloaded rocket.
after trying this and that, finally I found the best rom for my note1,
the most stable, smooth one is 2.3.6 lol.
simply go to sammobile.com and search gt-n7000 in firmware section than download your region's release and flash it through PC odin. I am sure this will resolve all your issues and you will be back on stock rom. make sure u have backed up you data and apps.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU.
