I'm currently running a UK Note, non rooted. About a week before the official ICS update was released for UK devices I used Odin to flash the Indian release of the update. I have since downloaded the UK ICS update to my PC but I was wondering if I should bother flashing it. I have no real issues with the version of ICS I'm using so what if any are the benefits of going to the version of the software I'm using compared to the UK official.

Probably won't be much difference at all.

If you have no issue with the current ICS you should not change to the UK version since just as in the second post there will be little difference even if everything goes well.

I am really sorry to say this but you are NOT SAFE with LPY. Advice: Just DON'T wipe your phone. And downgrade to a stable GB ROM asap.
Edit: Oh wait! Didn't read the second line
Anybody there??
I'm on Voda n it's beyond the point of annoying how long we have to wait for the up date

I am also waiting for official ICS for UK; I am O2 and my Note is unlocked and Generic UK I think. Its running GB with XXLA6
It says on dripler app that it's rolling out internationally and everyone should get the ota up date, I've still not got it though :-(

If you guys are tired of waiting just flash a suitable one through pc Odin.
O2 UK also, will be waiting for official update though as there are too many horror stories around here of bricked phones by those who can't wait

Hi
I was wondering if it's normal that there's still no official ics upgrade available in Belgium. I own a Note who's at 2.3.6 now. No ICS yet.. Checked with OTA update and Kies on my computer... Any idea when this will come around in my area? I have a "XX" phone version which is aught to be a Belgium version of the device.
Thanks in advance

Idem ... no ICS on Galaxy Note.
Ok, long story short, got the i957 from rogers, figured Samsung is Samsung and this thing should have fairly active development... Not quite for i957. Opened the box powered the thing on and hit software update, stupidly assuming it was a honeycomb update, 3.1 to 3.2 or something like that. Nope was an ICS update. Problem is i957 ICS is not rooted... Need to flash original 3.2 rogers firmware to get this thing debloated...
Ive tried sammobile.com, but their firmware is the ICS release... Can anyone here help? If I cant debloat im gonna just sell the thing and get a Nexus7.

Sammobile should have both the ics and hc roms. At least they do for att. You can also root ics. I did it last night. Flash http://d-h.st/vjq through your custom recovery.

Yeah, just noticed root works with the official ICS, and there is no 3.2 on sammobile. Searched that site for way to long... 3.2 seems non-existent. Anyways as long as root works with ICS no worries.
Thanks.

I had got this phone from Portugal and I currently reside in India. This phone has not been released here. So I guess there wouldn't be an OTA update here. Guidance regarding which region update I should use with ODIN and would it be better if I wait for a OTA whenever it happens?
TIA

In my experience on multiple phones (Gio, Ace, S2) firmwares downloaded from sammobile for any region are flawlessly installed via odin. So i reckon you can download and install (via odin) the latest available firmware, regardless of which region it belongs to :good:
Thank you. Shall update it this weekend.

My Dad has the original unlocked Note, and I'm wondering how I can update to the official Jelly Bean without rooting or voiding warranty, as it isn't showing up in the OTA menu.
Open Samsung kies and Let it download the update or go to settings and update via OTA
Let me know if you have issues with this we will walk you through it
I've tried updating via both Kies and in About Phone, both places say that it's the most recent firmware available.
OK you are on a version that hasn't received the OTA yet.
You will have to install it via PC Odin.
Go to Dr.ketan's sticky thread for step by step instructions.
