Galaxy Tab problems after stock restore

I had a UK unlocked (no branding) GT-P1000 Galaxy Tab. I flashed it to a custom gingerbread build on Win7 X64 but later wanted to revert to stock. After a lot of searching I flashed the device with P1000XWJMI. All went fine and device booted back in (with a foreign language set as default but I've changed to English via settings).
When connecting the device to Kies it now says "This version of the device cannot be updated". It never used to say this before! It used to say I was running the latest firmware.Can anyone advise what the problem is?
I've seen some threads referring to something with a CSC mismatch and to alter using *#272*IMEI# and changing the code but I didn't want to do this without being certain what I'm changing.
Presently Kies shows:
PDA: JMI
Phone: JMA
CSC: JM4 (CPW)
I'm running Kies version 2.0.1.11053_99
Thanks
Craig

Is JMI stock for your tab? Besides, the country code might be wrong.

I didnt know how to find the correct stock for this tab. I just saw in a post that someone else form UK had used this so I went for it.

i had this issue also , and i didn't know ever how to make it work
so ppl said that you have to download app from the market that plays with the PDA and CSC to change them to what ever you want without flashing any other rom
Darkpal guide :
My way is DANGEROUS. You need to know what you're doing to do it. IF IT MELTS YOUR TAB am not RESPONSIBLE.
1. Do a Rotobackup of your existing firmware or any backup to your efs folder (regular backups won't work).
2. Download an app called SpoofFW
3. Put the PDA, Phone and CSC of a known stock firmware (like your asia
4. reboot.
5. connect to kies.
thanks for him not for me , but to your info i couldn't understand what to do with the app maybe you wait someone to describe it for you

Do you know when kies said latest firmware what was your firmware then?

My case is different. After updating my ROM back to stock, all the versions are OK, despite the software and phonebook remains (but I noticed that my photos in gallery are deleted, which is what I wished).
My question is how to restore it to the REAL factory setting state, without any additional wallpaper and software that I installed?
Thanks for your attention, and wait for your advise as well.

If I understand you correctly, you have to:
[*]Press menu
[*]Settings
[*]Privacy
And there you'll have the option to do the factory reset.
You can also do it by booting into recovery (volume up + power on) and selecting it from the menu.

My tab is from the uk (got it from amazon uk) and it was jmi/jma/jm2 (cpw) on the last update. Before that it was jj7/jk5/jj5 (cpw).
Maybe you can try downloading an older euro rom from samsfirmware and go from there. Don't forget jmi had locked bootloaders.

[Q] Upgrading Firmware via Kies (strange problem)

Hi all,
When I first got my note the other week, I was able to connect via Kies to upgrade my firmware. Afterwards, Kies listed all of my info under "Firmware Information". But now there's a problem because this no longer works. Instead of listing my info, I get the message "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies".
The only difference I can think of is that I now have an AT&T SIM card in my phone. (There was no SIM card in my phone when Kies was working fine) I'm using my Note as a GoPhone, so do you think this is the reason why Kies is giving me this annoying message?
Thanks in advance, everyone, and have a Happy New Year!

Hi
I have same problem and i dont know if i can help. But what i did was i unrooted and restore factory my GN and after that the kies started to recognize my note. then i did un update.
Hope it helps.

Yeah, this is such an annoying problem. Everything was running smoothly until now. I've read that disabling USB debugging would solve the problem, but I tried that. It didn't help. Then I read that the phone has to have the right CSC using *#272*IMEI#, but that didn't work either. My phone is already set to 'DBT' (Germany).
Anyone know how to help us out here? It would suck if we had to do a factory reset every time there's an update.

I don't think this is a permanent issue. I upgraded my completely OEM phone last week, this week I've plugged it in multiple times, and it worked and recognized it. Yesterday I plugged it in and it didn't, it gave me the same error. I think it may be an error on Samsung's end. Maybe?

You are as i would guess with a german note and have updated to kl7 or kl8 both are not suported from samsung they called the firmware upgrade back, to many minor/major bugs on them so they forced to close the update so now kies if you have kl7 or kl8 it says your device is not suported.
Hope it helped wait few days they will give a new update for it and it will recognise it again.

Yes, you are absolutely correct! I tried it the other day, and Kies did in fact recognize my Note this time. Thanks, man.

Galaxay Note CSC KOR -will never receive an update?

I have a note CSC LA4 KOR. . does this mean my phone will never receive an update unless I root or change the coding and completely wipe all my phones data?
Kies says my device does not support updgrades and I read that I wont get push updates either? ..
Im new to android and I own a mac, so am I basically f***ed and stuck with 2.36 for the life of the phone?
or is my research totally wrong?
Thanks for any info. . much appreciated

I just did a quick google search and apparently if you know your way around a mac and it's terminal then it's possible to root and etc. As for receiving an update the new update was for Europe and since you have a Korean device you'd probably have to wait for a Korean update. I'm not to sure about Kies not saying your device doesn't support updates, I got off stock as soon as I got the phone.

Same problem
I am having the same problem

but doesnt that require completely wiping the phone? and isnt a PC needed to do that?
a user shouldnt have to completely wipe data to do a basic update. .

I had the LPY 4.0.3 yesterday and decided to go back to my original 2.3.6 GB
What I did was because my phone is the Hong Kong model (TGY) I went to SamFirmware site and under Asia I downloaded N7000ZSKK1
After flashing that on it still wasnt the right one as Kies still displayed that it wouldn't update.
But a firmware update OTA poped up and when I plashed to that I got my original GB 2.3.6 back.
So I tested it by connecting it to my windows PC and kies displayed that I had the latest firmware.
So my advice to you is you should look for the 3 letters in brackets under firmware and on SamFirmware site download the correct firmware for your device.
Mine was TGY for Hong Kong so yours will be different or the same.

From what I'm reading the KOR version will never recurve updates for some reason...can anyone confirm or deny this?...I don't mind waiting...

Hi... Actually same happened with me too... I bought ma phn from India and and took it to korea. And started using it on KT. But when i put ma phn on kies they said that this firmware is not supported vai kies. Before i didnt knew what tge heck is this. Then after some time i inserted indian sim (which obviously is not working here) n then restarted. Ma phone was recognised by kies n it come that YOU HAVE THE LATEST FIRMWARE. So what i understood was of u have the sim from where you bought ur phone(in ma case it was India), just insert it,restart it. N update or do whatever with kies or if dont have just download the correct and latest firmware acording to ur country from sammobile.com, put ur mobile on download mode (by pressing volume down, menu, power button in same time until the warning screen comes up then press volune up key) n by using odin flash that latest firmware. If you dont know how to flash using odin Just tell me. I will let you know. I hope this will help you.

Ps: for flashing no need of rooting and all.

Thanks for the advice. I will try it.
I bought my phone in Thailand. .but I believe it is a Hungarian model made in korea (the owners manual is in Hungarian). the back of the battery says made in japan/finished in korea?? .and now I live in Vietnam. .what a clusterf**k
I can do the odin thing but I dont own a PC (I own a mac) so it is not easy. Last time i did it it took well over an hour with downloads and installations.
Ill be in Thailand shortly so ill see if it will update with a Thai sim, but i doubt it as I dont think it is a Thai made phone ..

KOR doesn't mean Korea.It's for some European countries,and every Note will be updated.

Dont worry. The place you bought matters not the place where it is made. But i dont understand, Y ur phone showing kor. Are u using ur note in veitnam?? If yes then y its still showing korean csc. Anyway for mac there is heimdall same as odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265. :thumbup:

not sure why its saying KOR when im in Vietnam. . I really dont understand any of this. . this is my first android.
Ill try to mess with it tonight and see what I come up with, but from what im reading people are saying KOR is not a valid CSC or its a generic CSC and will never receive updates. .
man this is all overally complicated to get a basic update that was supposed to be released in Q1.
thanks for all the help and advice.

Worry not cuz csc doest matter. Samsung phone are most hackable devices. U ll know how to deal with it. I also learnt all hacking with this device. Njoy...

success!!. . I updated to ICS using Odin and it was really easy.
My only difficulty is owning a mac and the use of a PC at work is very restricted, so i needed the IT guy to allow access to download all the drivers, kies etc. .
but when all is said and done if you own a PC it is a really easy process thanks to Dr Ketans tutorial. .

[Q] Unable to upgrade through KIES after motherboard replacement?

Today i got my phone back after a hardbrick, with a replaced motherboard, so extremely happy about that.
But the downside is, when i connect my note to my computer and open kies it says this:
Your Device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: N7000XXLA6/N7000XENLA1/N7000XXLA4/N7000XXLA6 (XXX)
Could this be caused by the motherboard replacement i've recently got? In the way that parts of software does not match anymore?
second: Is there a non root fix for this?? No??!! any other fix?
Greetings Sam
Edit: before the hardbrick/motherboard swap, Kies searched/found updates

Your Device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
I have very same issue. Logic board replaced and since that Kies says no support for my device.
Current firmware version: PDA:LA6 / PHONE:LA4 / CSC:LA1 (XXX)
I would like to go into ICS but I am worried to do any firmware changes, in case they will not accept any other replacements if any issues. Any advice?
Thanks

I think its down to your computer already reconising the device as it was before try uninstalling kias and reinstall

I've did a connection troubleshoot problem checker thing. But that didn't help.. I'll try reinstalling the whole program+drivers maybe that's it?

i have same problem too.。 i already reinstall my pc windows 7. but it doesnt solve the problem.. i also unrootred my sgn ..but still the same
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

As i expected, reinstalling didn't do the trick. So any other options?
E-mailed samsung yesterday but that will probarbly cost a week before i get an answer back that will not help.

dr ketan help me ..it seems that the csc not matching see my posting here

Do This; i Got this Here On This Forum.
Change your CSC Code to German and upgrade via KIES; this will also factory reset your phone.
so on phone :
*#272*IMEI# then change the CSC to DBT.
Phone will reset.
Change language to English (bottom right icon)
follow prompts to setup
Connect to KIES and the phone will update to ICS.
When your finished, you change the CSC code back to whatever you had before

thanks, allready tried that.. I have one with only XEN, nothing to choose further..
What i just did, flashed back to the first ROM available for my phone and country, still not working with Kies... But OTA updates did work, so if a new update is available i will receive it OTA i guess
Happy enough about that, dont really have the need to be rooted or have a custom ROM after the first attempt went really wrong(reason boardswap) but i like to have a fully working phone, also when connecting it to the Computer

I have tried do this too, but it will not let me change current CSC XEU. Don't know why. I have also tried copy and paste but no luck (

Once more! Flash change CSC change imei pray to God wipe rewipe ALL OF THEMA WILL NOT REPAIR IT send it to service center if it comes so back try to get a replacement/refund.

From Serge75 : Hi gentleman ! could you try to send me your version 2.3.2.12054_19, I dont succeed to upgrade my version, looks like upgrading, but when I restart it, it's still with the previous installed version...
I guess installing it manually would more effecient. Could you send to me to [email protected], or could you give me a direct link where I could charge it directly, because Samsung Kies is not showing it ...
My greatest thanks and best regards
Could anyone tell me if I must change the Kies Version for the last in order to get the new ICS upgrade, or could I get it with any older Kies version ?

My gnote issue

hey all,
i'm new to the forums here at xda-developers but i'm in ire need of some advice/help if you would not mind sharing your experience.
Okay the issue.
I have a galaxy note gt-n7000, it will not update via kies or via the phone itself at all for months. I'm from England and i purchased it on contract from carphone warehouse; some vital information about the phone are as follows:
Android version - 2.3.6
Baseband version - N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-N7000LA6-CL907341 [email protected] #2
Build bumber - GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
CSC - XEU
I have tried several things to fix this such as:
Factory restting everything - the sd card, the phone... No eval.
Attempting to change the CSC to a different one from XEU
Waiting to see if any more updates are as followed
reconnecting/rebotting my phone to ensure the connection is okay to Kies
Another issue of this phone is that it will not download anything from the website such as bus timetable PPFs in which it used to be beforehand, i am completely stumped by it
thanks for your time to read this and hopefully help,
Nozz.
P.S I don't really want to root my phone cause my warranty will void otherwise.

have you updated the kies? use latest version of kies to update it should work.

Since youre factory resetting, i presume you dont care for any data loss... You can go to recovery (turn off phone then press and hold volume up+power+home until the phone turns on) then do the factory reset there... (this is not touch interface.. You have to use volume buttons and the power button to select your option):highfive:
I entrust you to do this since you said youre running 2.3.6 but DONT DO THIS if you manage to get to Ice cream sandwich!!! We can never stop reminding people of this... DONT EVEN DARE to factory reset under settings on a stock Ice cream sandwich n7000..

Yeah, according to Kies it is the updated version, and i also updated a galaxy s2 with it to ICS the other day...

Just factory resetted it, and once again it is coming up with it saying it is not possible tp update Via Kies :/
And Kies is fully updated

Also another thing i forgot to mention, the phone wants an update has it says new firmware is available through downloading from the phone then installing that way, however when i try this, it all goes okay, reboots, comes up with the little andriod symbol then it stops at roughly 20%, reboots and says it was unsuccessful, try updating via samsung kies.
thinking of just getting rid of it, but it's a contract.... Sigh.

somebody made a program that you can use instead of KIES, it is called Checkfus.
google for it, or search the forum, i am sure you will find it.

Hi there,
I would suggest not to update more on Kies as Kies sometimes KIES(OTA OR the PC one) is quite not more reliable sometimes, sometimes you can upgrade sometimes you can't.(Just like a woman on her monthly periods )
Anyway, I would you recommend by just flashing it thru PC ODIN. Download your stock ICS software from this page -> www.samfirmware.com and look for the firmware on your region. Flash it and you should be good to go.
:good:

i'm quite new to flashing phones, i've flashed computer motherboard bios, but i can get inside them and change the mobo if it goes wrong however i cannot do that with a phone :/
Which one is safe for my phone, considering it's current build etc?
Advice would be appreciated.
I can't seem to find firmware that is suited for my PDA, CSC and Phone codes... Or will any UK firmware work?

Here you go bud ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of Doc Ketan, of course)
If you narrow down a bit, there's a firmware for UK there(Carphone Warehouse to be exact)

According to CheckFus there is no such ICS update for my specific phone, aka pda/phone/csc.... hmm... and also i can't seem to find any roms for my specific phone either...
I really don't know what to do now
Could someone take alook at my numbers in my first post and help me, as i'm pretty much at the end of my tether with this phone
i'll relist my phones information:
PDA: N7000XXLA6
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000XEULP4
Build Info: Friday, January 20 05:38:08 KST 2012
That build info looks slightly dodgy considering this is supposed to uk phone, and i'm pretty sure UK gingerbread didn't come out at that point... hmmm.. got me thinking.
anyhow
Thanks,
