After my fiasco with a bootleg http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742680, (thanks to everyone for your help in telling me I was "less then smart." ) I now have a genuine N7000. It currently is running Gingerbread, and I would like to flash it to ICS. I am not using it with a provider right now, so the "Software Update" in the "About Phone" section will not work. The question I have, is which ROM should I use. In the "About Phone" section, it states I am running Baseband N7000XXLA4. Any suggestions? Please let me know if you need any more information. Thank you all for your time!
if you want to do an upgrade to ICS with a gingerbread rom you have not any issue.if you want to look the upgrades go here: www.samfirmware.com

Thank you for the reply. I have gone to that site, and it gives me a wealth of ROMS to choose from, and I am a little confused. The question is, which ROM do I choose for my phone? Sorry if I seem a little dense!

If you want ICS look for android 4.03 and choose what country you want but any country will do. WARNING. If running on ics dont do a factory reset, recovery data wife, and nandroid ( back up &restore). If you want to be safe remained in gingerbread.
Check out dr ketans thread in the stickies of rom development section. It lists all the roms by region both for ics and gb. You can just select Tue newest one for your region.
There's also further information on rooting, but perhaps leave that for later.

Thanks for the reply! Currently my phone is unlocked running Gingerbread, if I update to ICS, will I have to unlock the phone? I bought an unlocked phone because I travel all over the world and got tired of having to get used to a new phone every time I am in a new country. I usually stay 2 months at a time, and it is easier and cheaper to use a carrier in country than using my cell phone from home.
Thanks for all the help and information!

Flashing won't affect unlock. Just make sure you upgrade to correct region and all connection settings and everything will be exactly the same.
If upgrading to ics, read the sticky about the superbrick bug also, basically don't perform any wipes on stock ics roms, danger of brick.

To make sure I understand, since I will be spending most of my time in Asia, I should choose a ROM from there? Will those ROM's work if I go to a trip to the US as well? I am sorry for all the questions, but I just want to have as much information as possible before I pull the trigger and update to ICS. Thank you for your patients and help.

If you're only visiting Asia and have a us sim, or swap out for an Asian sim just for the trip, then stick with a us code rom. Also, if you flash a different region it will perform a full wipe of the device which is dangerous on current stock ics roms, so it probably safest to check your current code and flash the same.
We all start somewhere, I found android flashing quite complicated at first but it starts to make sense quite quickly. Hope it helps. Do ask if you need further help flashing.

Thank for the reply. I have flashed Android before, but never on a phone. It have always been on a Tablet. My final question, should I stay with a ROM from the same region that my phone is right now? Also, how do I find out what region it is currently from without having a simcard in it? I will be putting a sim card into it once I get to Japan in a couple of weeks. Thanks for all the information. I greatly appreciate all the help!
Yes, I would stick to your current csc. Dial in the following on the phone dialler:
*272*emeicode*# where imei code is obtainable via *#06# in dialer

Hi, I have a rooted galaxy tab. I recently just installed a custom rom and after, it doesn't boot anymore? It only stucks at the boot screen. May I know what's the issue here? Is it a brick or something? Any helps appreciated. Tks!
it sounds like a soft brick, which isn't too bad at all Just switch your tab over to Download Mode and then flash another ROM that is confirmed working on your device.
A hard brick would be if your tab didn't power on in any way at all no matter what, and that would be pretty bad :/
Hi, tks for ur reply! Do u mind telling me where to download those roms? Tks once again!

Hi! I managed to get my rom on samfirmware.com and even flashed it via odin. But one thing, it managed to go the boot screen but then it doesn't move at the "samsung" glowing screen after that. Did I do anything wrong?
Your best bet will be to restock according to Overcome method.

You may have a corrupted /dbdata. If that's true, no matter how many new ROMs or firmwares you install, it won't help you.

I installed overcome kernel with many other rom before moving to redpill (because of bluetooth keyboard compatibility). It works great with most of rom 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 base. Don't hesitate to try the kernel with other rom.
Btw, did you try pushing new pit file through odin?

Hi guys,
I've recently purchased the galaxy note from an Iphone and I am definitely loving my new purchase.
However, I require some assistance/guide to rooting my phone. I have 2.3.6 XLA6 version and I am having trouble locating threads on how to root this version.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Go to section 2.
You'll have to flash to 2.3.5 first then root. Just read it over and over and it'll make sense. I came from an iPhone and it took me a couple days to get used to all the android language...
Good luck!

+1 You can't root 2.3.6 but if you really want root, instead of going back to 2.3.5 why not try the leaked ICS rom, it comes rooted!

+1 but practice flashing with stock roms first so you don't brick your phone...
I learned flashing roms first then I tried the Midnote ICS rom which I highly recommend over all the other roms.

And how do you propose that he flash ICS without increasing the binary counter? His Note is unrooted.
Ayway, going straight to ICS would be unwise at this point, IMO. ICS poses enough problems for experienced users, let alone fresh ones.
So I'd stick with gingerbread for now if I were you. When you get some experience with your new phone, then you can flash anything you like.

You can't without increasing the binary counter, but if he's going to root it, he'll lose his warranty anyway, if that's what your worried about. Flashing ICS with Odin is very easy. I did it on my Note coming from 2.3.6 and works with no problem. But yes, it DOES INCREASE your binary counter.

Never said you increased your binary when rooting! I said you lost your warranty when rooting! I think you should read first, before being aggresive! I'm just saying what worked for me.

You lose warranty when your binary counter shows 1 or more, not when rooting. If your counter is NO, you can always flash back a stock Rom (unroot) and your repair service will never know you have tempered with your phone.
As I said, do some reading before offering advice.
Just i want to add this
Dear, rooting lose warranty, but it is very very easy to regain it by just simply unrooting(flashing a stock ROM is just enough)
while if you raise your counter, really nothing more difficult in note thn to reset it on GB. So i do favor chasmodo's concern.
anyway

download this and just start with I have non rootable ROM, i dont think you will have more query after this.

There are plenty of ROMs that are competible with T-Mobile G-Tab, which is a GSM GTab with locked bootloader.
What version of firmware are you currently on? are you rooted?
What version of android are you looking for? Froyo, GB 2.3.3, 2.3.5, 2.3.6? or ICS?
hello all, i'm sorry but i am newbie in this world ... then , i had given to me by a spanish friend a samsung I9000 branded Movistar....this smartphone installed android 2.2 (froyo? ) and kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1 and version I9000XXJPK. then my friend when he moved to italy (i don't know what he did) he use this smartphone with a sim H3G (Italia)...... i checked if it is alredy rooting but titanium backup indicates that do not have the permission of superuser. Now can i install a new rom (updated) and if i do, which rom can i install????? sorry if i said wrong things but i have read many guides but i did not understand anythin
in recovery mode there is written andorid system recovery 3e.
pda: I9000BGJP3
PHONE: I9000XXJPK
CSC: I9000XECJP2
BUOLD INFO: 2010. 11
p.s.: sometimes the phone have some errors : Home appliocation (process com.sec..android.app.twlauncher) was suddently arrested ...... and i reboot smartphone..... and another error tells me that removed the internal memory (and i still restart)
upgrade rom solves these errors????
thanks a lot all
(sorry for my english)
Hey,
Yeah, upgrading even to a 2.3.6 version should solve those probles, but JB is also pretty stable
For starters, if your phone is an I9000, then I think you should be able to flash in any 2.3.6 rom for the I9000 to root... But I'm not sure about this, mine hasn't been branded so someone else might be able to give a bit more info on whether its safe.

Hello XDA'ers!
As you may have seen my previous thread (I am suffering from the No Sim error) I have successfully managed to learn how to root my phone but the Titanium Backup Pro app failed in helping my phone recognise my SIM again.
My next option is to install the Gingerbread (Original ROM) and from there upgrade back to Jelly Bean and see if this fixes my issue - a lot of people have said that this works for them.
My phone is from Carphone Warehouse so could someone point me to the right direction please? My baseband version ends in "LT9". :fingers-crossed:
Look in Dr. K's thread in stickies of original development, it's listed there. Cpw is the code for car phone warehouse.

You could try a new modem, but most gb roms were 3 part roms which included modem, and some later roms included modem upgrades also.
