Try uninstalling Kies and then reinstall it again. Look for updates for Kies after the installation and then connect your phone to Kies through USB (better not use a usb-hub).
You could also flash this rom http://www.hotfile.com/dl/157417221/c9a3748/N7000XXLQ2_N7000XEULP4_XEU.zip.html with Odin manualy (not for Carphone Warehouse)

also double check you are not rooted if using kies
if u r the kies wont update

ICS has not yet been made available to all galaxy notes as OTA. more and more countries are being updated, but there are still some countries and carriers that dont have it yet.
ie. im in australia, but my phone is the polish PLUS model. still stuck on gingerbread. tempted to flash to another gingerbread version and then update OTA, but i dont feel like setting everything up on my phone again.

yeah i dont wanna set it all up again, spent weeks sorting it out. i guess ill just have to wait....
if my phone is unlocked though who will the update come from?

[Q] Kies won't upgrade my Galaxy Ace

Hello, I have an ace with the galaxy android 2.2.1, I am trying to update it via the kies, but whenever I try to do the update, it locks up when my device restarts in downloading so... I tried three times always happens the same...
have reinstalled the drivers, before attempting the updates android... already updated the kies, I am now trying to update with the sd card in the device, do not know if it makes any difference...
sorry if this question has been discussed here, but did not find here.. and for my english...

KIES update very Slow. Try Odin

update your phone after 11 pm or update your phone by OTA
Odin will help you. It it thought to be stable and safe just like Kies. And easy, too
I would not have problems using the odin and i believe he is well stable... But I will not have problems with the warranty of my device wich had problems and returned a short time of the repair.

Yes mate, thats what i did :good:
You will not get ota's unless you do a full wipe so the csc will change to Germany
how to you change to German and is the original ee firmware available if I need to go back. Are everything okay with your phone with the new firmware and did you unlock yours like I did sorry for all the questions

Hi all, just as a confirmation to me being very new to this :
Using odin to flash this ee rom will still allow my device to get OTAs with the assumption that a full wipe has taken place.
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your time

Rooted galaxy n7000

Hi guys please help. My n7000 is rooted and the ics 4.0.4 version is a rooted rom one. My software update button is missing. Have downloaded kies but its showing no updates. My question is that can i access kies and official samsung updates through this even though im rooted. Dont really want unroot for fear of bricking my device. Bit of a novice in this area. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you so much. Not even samsung could tell me that.

It wan't send u any notification cause you'r rooted and u have -#su shell active so nothing official untill u flash stock ICS kernel and wait for update.
So you are saying that while rooted i will jpt get any official samsung updates? If i want official updates i must unroot is tuat correct? Or can i still update through kies. Getting confused now. Please help.

for the pass rooted phone still able to update via kies.
now not sure !still waiting for official 4.1.2 then will know the result.
Ok thanks. I guess its a waiting game as i heard n7000 get the 4.2.1 update sometime march.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
even though the phone is rooted or even a custom kernel is installed, kies detects the firmware and check if there is an update or not.. so it will let us know.. nothing to do with su shell and all.
kies will let you update as well.. but OTA wont work on rooted and custom recovery installed devices.
Ok great thanks. I shall have to wait which is something im not good at.

3 days ago I flashed ICS 4.0.3, rooted it with Philz kernel and attacked it to PC, opened keis, keis not only detected my phone, but also asked if I want to install new updates I accepted the offer, keis then upgraded my ROM to ICS 4.0.4, but I lost root. Super Su was there but Philz CWMR was replaced by stock recovery and Titanium backup told me to get out as my phone was not rooted. So I flashed Philz Rooted kernel again and got root access once again.
So, Yes keis will ask you to update firmware if one is there, but you "may" lose root.
Thank you that is very useful info. I'm already on 4.0.4 so will await the next update. Been informed that note n7000 users will get 4.2.1 sometime in March.

Hi another daft question. Phone was rooted when bought. I have installed rom tool manager from market and am using to alter my status bar. I have installed the ones I want and now assume I have to flash them to get them to take effect. When I go to do this its asking me what name my recovery mode is. How do I find this out. Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to update to official Jelly Bean

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.
