SGS I9000 - Help for flashing

Hi everyone!
I have a SGS (GT-I9000) that I would like to flash with cyanogenmod7. But despite having read quite a lot of stuff about flashing and so on the internet, I have to admit I am a noob, this is why I would need some advice
I had the phone with 2.2.1. I rooted it with the one click utility and unlocked it with the market app few months ago.
Then I flashed it with Darky's 9.5. After a while, I decided to upgrade it with darky's 10 rc6 but something went wrong (and I have no idea what it could be). Honestly, it has been a while now and I could not say what exactly happened, I can just tell you what I can read on my phone:
Firmware version:
2.3.3
Baseband:
I9000XXJVK
Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVB-CL118186
[email protected] #Dark_Core_2.0
Build number:
FICETO.GINGERBREAD.XWJVB
I noticed something which I think is curious. I just intalled Kies in order to get the drivers for the phone, and I received a message:
A new firmware version is available...
current version: PDA:JVB / PHONE:JVK / CSC:JV3
(NEE)
latest firmware version: PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV3
(NEE)
But I always thought that when you flashed a custom rom, Kies could not update your phone anymore ?
So do you think that I can just flash the rom in recovery following the guide on cyanogenmod's wiki or should I revert back to stock ?
Thank you for your attention.

Just flash cm. Backup your application with TB, factory reset and follow flashing guide.
If you encounter any problems, you can always flash to stock then.

[Q] UK ICS Not Updating

Could I get some guide to resolve my problem, please?
For the start, I have unlocked bootloader and rootet my Galaxy Note but I cannot get raid of the the Yellow Triangle with the black exclamation sign. However, the device works fine.
Just a moment ago, I received the notification to download the stock ICS update. It goes through the rituals of downloading but returns back to Gingerbread 2.3.6 after installation.
Baseband version: N7000XXLA4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-ver.4.2 ([email protected] #3
Please help me!
Regards
Danny
update:
After 2nd attempt, I received this message:
Software Update: Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre)

I think you'll need to flash manually. Not sure if OTA updates work after flashing a different kernel than the default one

Thanks, lukasspro777
I am not entirely sure if the update is located on the sdcard though. I will check that. thanks

i believe there is a way to get rid of the yellow triangle but its risky its called triangle away you would have to search it then i would download the rom you want with something like checkfus and flash it with pc odin

@anubis1126
Many thanks. I am trying the firmware upgrade via Samsung Kies. I will check it out later. Regards

The problem with ICS updates is that they are non-wipe and assume everything is fine on the phone and when it isn't then you get problems.
I would flash XKL8 which does a full wipe and gets rid of errors then flash the non-wipe UK rom.

Sincere appreciation to all
@Gaugerer, @anubis1126 & @lukasspro777
The firmware upgrade via Samsung Kies resolved all my problems, including the removal of Yellow Triangle.
New Info include:

You won't be able to update officially as long as you are on custom kernel, first flash stock kernel for your stock rom and then update using kies. You can also flash stock GB firmware first and then update officially to 4.0.4.
You do not have to unroot to update using kies.

Jeetu1981,
Thanks. I think I'll go back to GB

That's great if you already have GB downloaded, if not then flashing kernel if much short and easy, you can do it using mobile odin. You may be already aware but still, do not try to wipe when you are on stock kernel. Better to wipe before you flash stock kernel, if you choose this way.

Not your fault

I downloaded and ran mobile Odin and now my phone is stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy note gt-n7000" screen. Bad day in Budapest.
Any suggestions?

Boot loop is normal after flashing GB rom using odin, just boot in stock recovery and wipe data. But do it if you are sure that GB rom was flashed successfully? I mean did you get the "pass" message and all confirmation in odin? If yes then wipe in stock recovery.

Your suggestion didn't solve the problem. I'm still stuck at the boot screen.
Mobile Odin initiated the reboot so I am guess it thought it had finished correctly.
Hope you have more ideas to share.

I have tried that too. Odin sees the device checks the files and then stops cold.
Thanks for trying.

Can you post log, what you getting while flashing GB ROM with PC odin
-Disable firewall/antivirus
-Change USB port, don't use extension cable for USB connection
-Rebbot into download mode
-Reflash GB ROM, and any error copy logs and post here.

Whew

This morning the nice folks at a Samsung service point, "fixed" my phone. We don't share a common language so all I was able to get out of the conversation was that it was "software" problem.
Here is how it stands now:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version N7000XXLPT
Kernel version

The phone is NOT rooted
I assume that the changes resulted from whatever the service people did.
I would still like to get my phone back to stock but that seems like risky business to me.
My thanks to everybody lent a hand.

Which Rom,Kernel for german note?

Hey guys...
a few days ago i bought a Note from a friend.
I did a factory reset, but this didn't delete all the software, e.g. some games are still installed and also some user data is still available.
But not all of it...it's a bit strange-
Now i thought about flashing it to get everything clear and to get rid of this branding-stuff.
So i read millions of postings, and the more i read, the more i get confused.
I really can't figure out which Rom i have to take.
At the moment i think that i have to downgrade to a 3-part open,german GB Rom with a full wipe(?)
And than upgrade to a open,german ICS Rom (?)
Am i right?
And what about the Kernel?

First of all, you are on stock ICS so do not perform wipe again, it will brick your note (do some reading first)
Wipe does not remove system apps or games, that's why you still have those apps/games after wipe.
Your idea of flashing GB rom and then ics is good, download GB firmware from here, flash it using pc odin, wipe in stock recovery and then flash German LRT (latest) from same thread.
Once on ICS, you can use any of the safe kernels from Hydracore, speedmod, Philz etc (as per your preference)
BUT, READ ALL STICKY THREADS IN ALL NOTE SECTIONS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

thanks for your reply
jep, i already read about the brick problem, but that was after i did the hw-reset.
I got the phone, and my friend didn't clear all the data. And i have no use for foreign stuff^^
Also i told him that he should clean everything, the nex time he'll sell sth. like that.
So, after reading the brick related posts, i'm lucky that it's still working...
I already read many stickys, but not all of them, so i will continue with that.

You can't go wrong with hydracore kernel. It's tried and tested. You don't need to go back to GB just flash the kernel via PC Odin and you can wipe whenever you want when you're on a safe kernel like HydraCore and the other kernels jeetu1981 mentioned. Going back to GB is really good as well, there is 0% risking of bricking you're device once you're on GB.
For starters just flash the above mentioned kernels and you will be granted root access once flashing is done. After that install Titanium Backup via Google Play and you will be able to remove all those bloatware, games and other nasty crap that your carrier has added on the system. Just be careful uninstalling system apps.
Feel free to read and explore XDA threads, this will help you get through the learning curve of flashing stuff on your device. Good luck and enjoy your stay!

thank you guys for your help!
everything worked fine! nice!

[Q] Vodafone Branded Galaxy Note ROOT. HOW? Downgrade? CWM? XXLQ2? What the....

Hi there,
first of all sry if it asked many times before. I searched for a solution here on XDA and somewhere else on the internet (giyf ).
I want to root my Galaxy Note and be able to install custom roms in zip format (why tar? and how to get it? wtf) but i dont get all the confusing things. Its rly complicated to understand everything clearly.
I am familiar with rooting did it a lot of times mostly on HTC devices but its very easier to get the goal.
Hope somebody can help me.

Go thru these 2 links & you should be able to root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Firstly you must get a "safe" kernel with root permissions, get odin , connect your note to pc with USB cable , start your note into download mode ( home -volume button and lock button at the same time )and flash the kernel.
After that, instal CWM and flash your custom rom ( home +volume button and lock button at the same time )
Not that big of a deal

So...
So I can simply flash the HydraKernel over Odin(Pc)? And after that how do i install CWM? Just use RomManager?

Cwm is included as recovery with the kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

dont use rom manager. once hydracore flashes successfully u will automatically have cwm
