i recently upgraded ota from xxlpy to xxlrg. unit is original n7000 germany. never used Odin or such to install firmware.
the problem is, on every restart, the note will say that it is upgrading and installing new apps similar to what happens when the first boot after upgrading. this will take a long time to start from power off or reboot. verified this happens every time. this never happens before when i upgraded from gb to xxlpy.
everything else seem to run ok . i have root and unrooted using simple unroot with supersu without problem. i have titanium pro for backup but afraid to factory reset because of the brick issue. appreciate any feedback.
thanks.

nope. tried that just to make sure. that setting is for checking if there are any new updates available. thanks anyway. if you read my post again, what happens is that the upgrade to XXLRG (4.0.4) was successful, just that it does the first boot installation (s-memo, crayon. wallpaper etc) again and again on each reboot or start from power off. this makes reboot taking more than one minute. others have same problem?
any guru here have some clue?

nobody having this problem of XXLRG reinstalling apps?
anyway, today another OTA notification saying theres another update.
should i go for it?

You need to do factory reset. Either to go back to GB and then do wipe, or flash a safe ICS kernel (speedmod, notecore, franco, etc) and do full wipe in recovery. Never do factory reset or full wipe in stock ICS.

if your getting every reboot on your phone 'Android is upgrading applications..', case here is that you have some apps (I would guess you restored apps from titanium pro) that are deodex and some are odex. Check on your apps again under titanium apps and delete all odex files extension for the same app name. There might be one or more apps that have odex files inside. This is the cause of that message everytime you reboot your phone.
Or the simple way is go back to Stock GB, upgrade again to XXLRG and when you have everything already flashed to LRG.. DON'T restore apps anymore (from your Titanium backup), go clean from now on in just redownloading those apps you have fresh in Google play.
Cheers!

Hi guys,
My phone has been working great until today. for some reason now when I install a new app, if it is forced close or if I reboot the phone, I lose all the setting for the apps. It only happens to new apps, the one installed before today are (so far) keeping the settings.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Please help. I know some of you might suggest a factory reset, but unless somebody had this problem and reset helped with it, I will hold off on that because if it ends up not working I will be left with all my apps losing their settings all the time.
I am on I9000T on stock Froyo 2.2.1 if that can help.
Anyone? Please I really need help on this one. This has to have happened to somebody here?
Problem with the firmware.!!
I think that there must be a problem with the Firmware .. Try updating your phone via kies or Flashing Gingerbread using ODIN..

Before this, you could try and do a factory reset and see if the problem persists! If it does, then reflash with Odin! Good Luck!
Thanks for replying guys. I have a question: if it is a file system problem, will a firmware update or factory reset help?
Also, I have had this firmware for almost a year now, why would have I a problem with it now, I am not rooted and I have attempted (yet) anything with flashing.
If ur phone has a file-system error Reflashing or factory resetting ur phone will help 4 sure as the files will be cleaned up and installed again..u phone may have dis problem due to any virus... u need to root ur phone 1st then flash gb

I have also had this problem come up on my phone. The phone just crashed on a Sat night and on reboot the software looked like I had taken it out the box brand new. Lucky I had Titanium Backup and restored everything.
Only thing then is that the vast majority of apps don't remember settings and on a start of the app it's in 'first time' mode.
Did a ROM flash using ODIN and default ROM (search this forum for instructions and software if you need it) and this fixed it properly - 12 hours in and no issues.
Credits to Titanium Backup here - like insurance you only know if it's any good when you actually need it.
Hi
I am from India and I connected my phone to kies and its saying that new firmware version is available.
Before upgrading I have few questions in mind. Is ICS is working fine on Note. I Heard may people saying that its freezing and consuming more battery and Wi Fi not working.
Have anybody upgraded Note to ICS in India..Hows the reviews..Any problem with phone you guys are facing.
Thanks in Advance
Ankush
Well some people have problems, ICS aint exactly bug free. But you can avoid most problems if you do a factory reset before upgrading. Then you will have a clean system but you will also loose all apps etc.
I am using stock ICS in India.
In my opinion Its better than GB, Better battery life, Better performance.
I updated via OTA.
Before updating i recommend you to perform a full wipe/factory reset.
After Update I rooted my phone using Dr. Ketans Method. Uninstalled all the Samsung crap-ware. Flashed Hardcore speedmod Kernel. Wiped Two three times. Some Recharge discharge cycle.
Now my note is running Butter smooth & leg free.
Good luck! Enjoy your note.
Thanks for help
I really don't want to root it , Just checked once I connected the phone to kies that there is a update ready to install.
few ques again
1.)How to reset my phone to factory default settings ?

Thanks in advance

To reset your phone go to settings - backup & restore - reset.
Or
Switch off the phone, after 1 min press and hold vol up+home+power key until you see recovery screen. Choose factory reset/data wipe...
DO IT BEFORE UPDATING TO ICS....
Hello.
On Saturday I've updated Android on Galaxy Note from Gingerbread to 4.0.3, which I believe is ICS. The update was done via Settings->About phone->Software update and completed without any errors.
Unfortunately, right after the first boot problems began.
First of all, Android informed me that TWLauncher is not responding and asked if I want to wait for it to stop or force close it (someting like that). I've googled it and found out that I can replace the default laucher with another one. I decided GOLauncher EX is looking nice, so I've installed it and using it now.
Still, once in a while I get a message saying that "Unfortunately, Email has stopped". This freezes the phone for a couple of seconds. The Email application doesn't work and, if started, just shows an animated busy circle for a moment, then a black screen, only to eventually exit to home screen and display the mentioned message. GMail app, on the other hand, works just fine.
Also, sometimes the phone freezes for a moment or displays some gibberish on the screen (the latter happened only once though).
Could anyone please explain me what is happening? Why am I having so many problems after this update and how to fix them? I've read about that brick bug in ICS, but only after I browsed the forums in search for an answer to my problem. Could it be that I'm beginning to suffer it right now?
I'm very confused and unsure what to do next.
I'd really appreciate some advice on this matter.
P.S. Some system info:
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: N7000XLPT
Kernel version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLQ3-CL646962
P.P.S. I wasn't sure if I should be posting this here on in the Android section...
Go to Settings - Backup & reset - Factory Reset. This will wipe off your data on your phone.
This is recommended after you install ICS. Remember to backup your phone before u do the factory reset.
Yours Sincerely

Remember if you factory reset on ics you may brick your phone. You will then need a motherboard change. You should downgrade to gingerbread first then factory reset and then update to ics

downgrade to 2.3.6 using Odin. Do factory reset from stock recovery and upgrade to 4.0.3 via kies or Wifi. After upgrading do wipe cache only, do not factory reset, probably it will brick your note.

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for your interest in my problem.
Please forgive me my questions that will follow, but I'm dilettante when it comes to modern cell phones and I'm overwhelmed by the amount of information, that I have to absorb in order to return the Note to its former state.
After reading your posts guys, I've been browsing the forum for a while in order to find the correct way of downgrading and I've stumbled upon this list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762080
Is this list safe to follow, without no.5 that is? I've noticed the [Stock ROMs] thread in your signature, dr. Ketan. I believe the ROM I should choose is :
Code:
N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000PLSKK1 -----------------Poland (PLUS)
You should downgrade to gingerbread first then factory reset and then update to ics

But wouldn't it lead to the same problem I'm currently facing? Or should I have had done a factory reset of Gingerbread before updating to Ice Cream Sandwich in the first place?
What eludes me is why Google makes new version of Android available to the public via official channels (Settings->About phone->Software update), without checking first if it won't cause any serious harm to certain product line (Galaxy Note in this particular case).
Also, does anyone know why my Note have downloaded and installed LQ3 instead of LPY (Poland)? Does it matter?
Hey all,
I installed CM10 Helly Bean (DerTeufel) port for Captivate V10 with full wipe.
It seemed to be working fine... fooled around a bit, tried out Google Now, etc.
Was restoring apps (not data) w/ Titanium Backup.. forget if it had finished or not...
Didn't try to run any of these programs or anything, just tried to unlock and the touchscreen was not responsive... Tried wiping cache+dalvik + fixing permissions... tried reinstalling ROM and GAPPS...
All are in a non-responsive bootloop.
I'm starting over now with another factory wipe... as of now it is stuck on "Welcome" Screen and touchscreen is not responding... AND.. it just restarted
Any ideas as to the problem... Was it Titanium Backup related? Should I resist running that again (assuming this ever works)?
I would post this on Development thread but I still don't have my 10 posts, heh, mostly a long-time lurker...
Thanks!
Worse than I thought!
So It's worse than I thought... I gave up and re-flashed slim (ICS)... and the same problem still exists... boots up, looks normal, can't touch anything.... eventually it reboots....
Suggestions?
Would ODIN flash do anything different? I9000 bootloaders?

What I can suggest is, go back to GB. Download a one click Odin w/ bootloaders, you can search that in the dev forum. After that flash it with a corn kernel so you can have a working CWM. And then Go to recovery, have a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik) TWICE and flash this--
Slimmed Down V10 by cbalt
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Wipe Dalvik
Flash http://www.mediafire.com/?9p212pempybwnj3
Then Flash http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bdjabcmobz6aw6k
Then Fix Permissions
Then Reboot

I can recommend you that one because it's the one the I'm currently using right now and I can say that it's working like a charm.
The method above is the one I'm using everytime I flash a ROM. I always do a full wipe so I won't be encountering any issues or whatsoever.
About TiBu, I am not sure if that's where the issue coming from because I've been using TiBu for a long time and haven't encountered that. Just always remember, if you are using backup using TiBu, just backup the User Apps+Data, DO NOT INCLUDE THE SYSTEM APP. Goodluck!
So you think w/bootloaders will help?
I have flashed every odin w/o bootloaders that I have access too and all get me stuck at ATT bootscreen....
Little hesitant to reflash my bootloaders since I was/am already on GB bootloaders, but if it might help I may have to do it...
I actually was on that JB version (but with the normal gapps b/c I wanted google now...)... now I'm on no version of anything hahah

I met a problem. I do not know wether or not it is common. The phone will reboot by itself sometimes.
Do you have the same problem?
same here
seems as though many of the problems experienced by one are shared by the other
this is logical as they share many common points including the same partition and both jellybean derivations
I was having issues... accelerometer and audio issues.
All came out right as rain after flashing back to stock and reflashing

I never liked cellphones and avoided them for years until I got a Galaxy Note as a gift. I gave it a try but after a year of minimum use I can safely say that it doesn't appeal to me.
So I want to sell it, but the problem is in my attempt to like it I rooted it and it seems like resetting to factory settings with a root may cause on a brick, so I'm wondering, what would be the exact procedure I have to follow in order to get it to be as it was on day 1?
Model: GT-N7000
Android version: 4.0.4
Root: SuperSU
I mention SuperSU because it seems like it has an unroot option on It's menu. Do I just use that and then search for the factory reset option and I'm done?
Thank you for reading.

Yes, you can simply unroot using SuperSU or you can flash stock rom, whole procedure for that is mentioned in dr ketan's thread, look fot it and as you are on ICS dont do any wipes on stock recovery, use brick safe kernel.

As far as I remember I never did anything like flashing a rom... to be honest, I don't even know what that means, but I'm almost sure I never did it (although I would like to know how to see what "rom" I'm currently running just to be sure).
I just unrooted through SuperSU menu and I'm wondering what's the next step. I thought just going to system options and looking for reset to factory settings would do it now that It's unrooted but

this quote made me wonder, are you talking about the flashing rom method to unroot or to the step I should do now? Do I update to Jelly Bean and then do reset to factory settings?

Just go to settings and about and see firmware version, build number and Baseband version should tell you if you are stock rom or not( not sure though have been using custom rom for too long now). Wiping from Stock Recovery might brick it not the factory settings from menu. Yes, update to JB from system updates it should be available if you are on stock rom or using Kies from pc connecting USB.
