[Q] Regarding ICS update!

Hello,
I've had iPhone and other Verizon android phones, but I'm pretty new for unlocked international version phone. (Sorry about the basic questions =[)
so I see my GNote version as "N7000UBKK1"
after some searching, I guess mine is south america version.
Is this right?
If I want to upgrade to ICS only for the stock version,
do I have to install German GB stock first then install ICS German one?
or can I just install ICS German one from N7000UBKK1?
Again, sorry for the basic question. It seems hard to find the information I need from sooo many threads here (from all kinds international versions)
and thank you ahead. =]

Hello,
in order to install the sock ICS on your note, you need to root your phone and seeing the basic questions you are asking you might want to wait for the official rom to come out to you country.
But if you are up for it I guess the easiest would be to check out this thread everything is really clear :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and to answer your question, you can just install the german ICS coming from any rom

You can directly flash the LPY or LPF rom using pc odin. LPY is the German release, LPF is for Taiwan/ Hong Kong. Be advised: LPY suffers definitely and LPF probably from a bug that can brick your device for good, making it necessary to get your main board replaced by Samsung (maybe you would have to pay for it).
If you don't need other languages than English I would go for LPF since so far there have clearly been less bricks than with LPY.
Once again: It is dangerous, there is a risk of bricking your device. Because you're a beginner it would probably be wise to stick with Gingerbread until Samsung releases a fixed version of ICS for the N7000.

Why is it necessary to root the Note to install ICS (LPY or LPF)? I he does not need/ want root access he can simply flash it using pc odin. Root access is definitely not a basic requirement to install ICS on a Note.

I don't think he will have any issues with bricking since he has a 'stock' device and only wants to upgrade to 'stock' ICS. Just flash the LPF through odin and is totally safe.

Since you are that much convinced that there is no bug in LPF and you can tell a person who is new to android flashing LPF is save I assume that you will gladly buy the op a new note if he bricks it because of your advice.
Like I already said I'm against panic and I run the LPY rom with a LPF kernel myself. But telling people it is save? What is your source? Your proof? There is none, LPF cannot be considered save. Ever heard of the I/O problem?

Thanks for the replies.
So, I can just odin the stock German ICS from my current stock GB?
and there's possibility that I might brick my phone?
P.S. I'm new to just international version phone so didn't know which country one I should look for or didn't know if I have to stick with my current country version to do anything, AND I've flashed many roms using odin when i had Galaxy Fascinate.
P.S. one more, and this is she not he.

Please be extra cautious flashing ICS ROMS. There are tons of threads on this forum with reports of bugs in the German and the Taiwanese ICS ROMs which damage data sectors on your device. I, along with several others, ended up bricking our devices due to the ICS ROMs. If you are new to Android and the flashing ROM scene, I would strongly advise you to wait until a reliable ICS ROM is released.

Ics upgrade question (changing region csc)

Hi iam a newbie
I have been seeing lots of thread where note users are willing to go back to GB from ICS
And also have seen threads with NOTE BRICKED with OFFICIAL ICS OTA GERMAN rom installed via kies or OTA .. And also about eMMC bug or somethkng i heard which requires the note to be send back to samsung.
I love my note on GB but ics is ics afterall thats why i want it but my question is and i apologise if it annoys anyone as i am a newbie
So if i change my region by the easiest method without any bricking risk of changing SCS TO DBT OPEN GERMAN and then upgrading to OFFICIAL ICS VIA KIES OR OTA so will all these errors, bugs and note getting bricked, eMMc bug etc etc
Are they likely to happen to me as well? ?
Or is ot only happening on those Galaxy note which have installed official ics open germany rom via odin and other risky ways. . Or only to those note who previously had rooted and were using on custom roms. .
So plz can anyone clear my confusion so i can finally decide weather or not to upgrade to ics. ..
tnx in advance
Details regarding my device : bought 3 weeks ago. Never rooted or used a custom rom and No intention of rooting or using custom rom in future.
Plz provide the advice so i can make a decision on weather or not to upgrade.

hello m8. Like u i'm also a newbie. I can tell you that i've recently bought my note, unlocked version.
Today i've rooted it twice, @ 1st using europe rom and then france rom with portuguese csc.
Rooted it teice because with the first riot in kies started to say that i couldnt upgrade it.
Then aftwr many reading i've decided to upgrade to 4.0.3. Used dr. Ketan guide in the dev section and worked fine on my phone. I've tested alnost everything and till the moment i have not encountered any bug or mal function.
But as they say in the post there are some reports of some bugs or even worst some notes that "died".
I leave here a screenshot after the update.
Cheers

Thnks for the info mate
But i really dont wish to root thats why after seeing the thread which said uograding by just changing region plua widout root thats what made me confident enuf to finally go ahead and upgrade and give it a try..
But still worries me as daily i see threads here created with someeones brick either stuck in odin or recovery etc or either bricked bc Of ics.
So i want ics the easiest way possible widout root and thats only possible by changing region using those codes and selecting DBT and then kies and OTA server treats ur note as a german made note and u can then upgrade to ics... So i wanted to know even those who have uograded this way hav they also the chance of getting these bugs and emmc errors brick etc
If yes then i will wait for a fixed update by samsung

[Q] help please to Root XXLA4

Hi Guys...
I need some help to root my buddies XXLA4 galaxy note...
it is currently on gingerbread.
I need the zimage file to root with the easy rooting toolkit.
but i've read some sonflicting ideas to downgrade first etc etc
Any ideas?
thanks a mill guys!

LA4 is non rootable directly
-You need to downgrade first to get it rooted
OR
-Install Pre rooted ROM
OR
Update to ICS and root it

Thanks Dr Ketan...Was actually looking at your thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Basically what he wants is Just Stock ICS.
ICS is not availabe in south africa yet. so guess option 3 is out of the question.
he does not want custom rom so option 2 is out as well.
If you can point me to the correct thread to downgrade i would be most gratefull.
If it was my own phone i would have no worries to try stuff but here i only have 1 chance LOL
thanks again!!!

You can flash any Stock ICS ROM, not necessarily it shud from country you have purchased note/using.
If you check his CSC (*#1234#) it may be something like JV*** if it was from south africa
As JV code is for contries includes South africa.
So find ICS ROM having CSC JV*** will be closer to his/her home country.
here is two version having this code Turkey and morocco. have ICS released.
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May-----------N7000OJVLP6-----------Turkey
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May------------N7000OJVLP6----------Morocco
This will be closer.
But practically there is no rule, you can have Any N7000 ROM.

Thanks again mate!
So i should first downgrade to a lower ROM...
then Root....
then go up to ICS?

No you can directly Flash ICS, ICS is rootable.
But as i said earlier go clean, wipe cach and data then flash ICS.

Thanks!
So i'm going to use this file N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar
to flash using your guide ICS installation and root.
that is the one I used on my galaxy note.
thanks man!

[Q] I'm confused

Hi guys, i've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 and I'm a little confused. My previous phone was a Galaxy Ace S5830i, I had that phone rooted (but it was too easy, just flash a .zip file) and with a custom rom.
So I have some questions:
1) For now I just want to root my new phone but the methods that I found here are not too clear to me. I first saw this method, but my firmware is not there. My phone came with I9070UBLI1 (2.3.6 GB). So i can't root my phone? my kernel isn't even in sammobile.com/firmwares
2) I want to make a backup just in case before rooting, so, what recovery should I use with this phone? cwm? this? or which one?
3) What is "binary counter"? In galaxy ace that wasn't present.
4) I saw that in samsungfirmwares site there are some 4.1.2 kernels, but they are for Rusia. I'm from Chile. So can I flash the russian kernel? will I loose my signal, 3G or something? Do you recommend upgrade to JB? with stock russian or a custom rom?
5) Do you recommend a custom kernel? which one? This looks nice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you can help me with those questions (numering your answers just like i did with my questions), I just want to enjoy a lot my new phone. :good:

I read the forums, but I'm still confused, for example, for rooting, in the thread that I linked in 1) there isn't the firmware that came with my phone, so I went to here, there isn't neither, then I read this post, but to do that I need dowload my phone's firmware, but the one that came with my phone there isn't in samsungfirmares web page, so I suppose I can flash anyone for Chile (my country), there are 2, but idk if they will work, so, if I'm going to take that risk I need to make a backup first, but idk what recovery I should use.
I have a mental bootloop

If you don't want to brick his phone you should start reading. Dr. Ketan's guide is what you need.
Be careful and only do this if you fully understand what Ketan wrote in his guide.
Until now there are only a few international versions available for JB: German, Italy, Netherlands, Trinidad&Tobago and Chinese releases.
And last one: post questions in the Q&A-forum, not in General.

oKz thanks alot brother

Just flash my n7000 to jb lady week. After a week using it seem like the system is a little too heavy for the dual core processor. I am losing to Hong Kong version. May be there will be another patch to solve the lagging problem.
