It is like you have to check your baseband version from settings>about phone and find the related kernel. Sometimes a custom kernel doesn't allow updating so better to be on stock while updating through OTA.

U cant update your phone through ota while rooted so loose your root then udate and root again

Revert back to stock using Odin, then update with ota, and proceed to root.

Or just flash a custom ICS ROM from GB so you don't have to deal with any OTA updates
If you do go for stock, please be careful of the emmc bug present in stock ics kernels. Learn about it before making the jump.

If your new firmware is Stock firmware(released by samsung), you can flash with Odin(dont select reset partition in odin)
OR you can connect to Kies n update it.
OR Go to setting - about phone - software update, check if update available OTA, if available, you will get notice n update from there(easiest n fastest way)
Hello.
One week ago,I was forced to flash custom ROM,cause something goes wrong and I didn't have backup. However,I want back the stock ROM. Where can I download it? I don't want to install Kies to my laptop,because normally I don't need it. I am able to flash the ROM using CWM.

How to get back to STOCK from CM9

Hi Everyone!
I'm kinda having problems going back to stock ics from stable cm9.
I wanted to get back to stock just so I can try speedmod k3-13.
Whenever I flash stock ics through pc odin, I get stocked in the blinking Samsung logo, and my note never boots up. I am now back to cm9 and everything is ok.
Any thoughts on what steps I should undertake to get it working!?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-N7000
Why you are using kernel to get back to gb???no need to do.if you are doing this for going back to custom gb rom then i would suggest you to first flash a pre-rooted gb rom from dr.ketan's guide.try to flash it through pc-odin.

You need root to install speed mod kernel so quickest way is to flash a pre rooted rom.

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.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

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.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
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.

Cant use odin ... Need another way

I bought a new white n7000 with gingerbread installed on it , so i updated hoping that itll be jelly bean after that but nope , it got 4.0.4 ics instead , now i read that i must not wipe or else ill get super brick and i will need mobo replacement. I read a couple of guides to install jelly bean thru odin but my macbook is sent for repair and is back within 2 weeks. Is it possible way to upgrade with that update with zip option i saw in recovery ? And can someone recommend me a good jelly bean build cause i read that each build is different , one is better than the other with performance

You could flash the corresponding PhilZ kernel from Original Development which is brickbug safe. Then you could get Mobile Odin Pro from the Playstore and use it to flash a rom that comes as a .tar file. Or you could get a custom rom that comes as a flashable .zip file and flash it through cwm.
I recommend you either the latest stock rom LT4 or Joosh3s Ultimate JB based on LT4. The stock rom can be downloaded from Sammobile and Ultimate JB from the corresponding thread in the Development forum (not Original Development). I hope this helps.

PhilZ kernel is flashed in recovery (either stock or cwm, download the zip version). There are versions for all roms, just use the one that matches your rom.

Hi.
I had a problem with Odin too, but my way of getting out of the trouble was using Philz Kernel and then standard CWM Recovery, which I find the easiest way to pimp my Notey Note after leaving my old LG Optimus Black Since then, I never went back to trying to use ODIN in anything. Also as far as I know (but I might be wrong), using CWM doesn't raise the counter (famous yellow triangle indicator).
Hope I've help in any way

Go to Here to read and find your answers. If you're still stuck, then ask again. Even though there a few custom roms that can be flashed through Odin, I suggest you avoid using it unless you want to flash stock firmwares.

Why would u choose 4.0 with all the emmc brick bug threat presents? Search the forum or google with the keyword "how to upgrade my N7000 from Gingerbread to Jellybean/ICS" n see what turns out.

Hello. Firstly, I'm sorry to say that I don't have much experience as mine came directly from ICS. I can suggest a long roundabout way which is to update your android vers. from GB To JB through Odin procedure first, then just flash philz safe kernel. and then flash any roms u want. Or if you just want stock JB, then u can download stock JB firmware n flash it through odin.
Edit : Go Here And watch the video and read. The link for the kernel provided includes CWM. After Installing CWM, you can directly flash philz safe kernel, reboot to recovery, do a clean wipe and formats (Follow OP of the rom you want to install)
