So I have GT-N7000, it's a 2.3.6 currently, and I want to update it to ICS, my baseband is (according to my About phone in Settings):
Model number: GT-N7000
Android-Version: 2.3.6
Baseband-version: N7000XXLB2
Kernel-version: [email protected]#2
Is there a way to update it to ICS (I'm not sure which one to downoad from sammobile) but not bricking or damaging it?
Thanks a lot you guys!
Flash any ics stock rom from samfirmware..
I'd you want ics for your country there's a option in samfirnware where you can enter the detaiks of your phone and samfirware will show your update
It has a brand, os, model and country selection, but I'm not sure which country this came from, so basically all I know is baseband number, so I was wondering is there any way to depict native origin of off that?
But, you say that any ICS firmware from sammobile firmware downloads section for GT-N7000 is good to install?
Thanks buddy !
Yes any icsvis fine..but be sure it's for gt n7000 and not the american note

Ics version
No need to downlad firmware manually, just connect ur device to kies,it will detect and download it automatically for u.at least it will tell u the version u will need to download

root first and backup efs before doing anything
then check csc and try to stick with it. If you dont care then you will need efs backup in case things like pcode and imei break. You need that see toolbox thread by dr ketan how to

Depends on if you want a tuned ROM and/or kernel, or if you want a full stock ROM.
For full stock, update through Kies.
For custom tuned ROM, check out the Dev section of XDA for the Note.

CsprDroid, pen down the IMEI of your device first. You can get your IMEI by dialling (typing) *#06# in the keypad.
After that, use your IMEI to avail your CSC by dialling *#272*IMEI#. The CSC will be a set of three alphabets in block letters.
Thus, you can you the CSC as the prime reference to avail the appropriate stock firmware for your country/region from SamFirmware.

hi, have a Galaxy Note Singapore Starhub with Basedband N7000DXKL2 and Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1-CL886914 [email protected]#2, Build Gingerbread.DXLA1
would like to back up Baseband and Kernel before experimenting with Rooting the Galaxy Note N7000.
Could anyone advise ?
thanks
You can't backup without rooting.
you can get back to Stock ROM, with flashing stock ROM with PC Odin
here you can see your ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
read your many posts on rooting the Galaxy note and I am just worried I will void warranty if I were to use the older Kernel downgrade and cant revert back to a Starhub Kernel.
There are 3 main telcos in Singapore, Singtel, M1 and Starhub, only see Singtel listed as firmware. I bought my Galaxy note under contract from Starhub.
You can type *#272*IMEI# to see your Note's Sales Code. This determines the pre-installed package that comes with your Note under Starhub. Then you can download the Stock firmware from dr.ketan's post for your keepsake. Then... Start your engine!

i typed in*#272*4694# dial got invalid MMI code ?
do i need to type IMEI instead ?
thanks
No, you have to key in your Note's IMEI number. You can key in *#06# to get your 15-digit IMEI number. Then use the code above to find your sales code. After that you can download a stock firmware related to your sales code. Be careful NOT to change your sales code because it will WIPE your phone.
My sales code was XSP so I keep a stock N7000XSP as my backup ROM.

I have a similar question too.
I have the following basseband, kernel:
- Baseband: N7000XXLA4
- Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
I can't see it in the list of stock ROMs. Does that mean I can't revert back to original ROM in the future if I want to?
You can check the latest STOCK firmware available for your Note at either the following:
- dr.ketan's post (check his signature)
- samsung-updates.com
- Checkfus downloader
My build was not listed and I had non rootable room so I had to restore to old room hoping to find my original room someday... you need root to backup
Chances are your build is already updated that's why it's not listed. Most of the time only the latest stock ROMs are listed. If you intent to keep it STOCK, you can update your firmware via Kies (in PC) or OTA (in your phone). For OTA, go to settings -> About phone -> Software update -> Update.
So how do I know which region firmware is my firmware?
My firmware description/code doesn't have region code on it.
Does it matter which region firmware I download and keep as long as it's the same version?
This is so confusing. I thought I wouldn't have any trouble/issues rooting/flashing this phone as I have an Iconia A501 rooted and running stock ROM.
---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------
NVM. I figured it out.
If anyone has the same problem, install Check Fus on your phone and it'll tell you your product code and the last three digits is your region code.
Mine was AUT, which is Austria.
Hi all,
I have just bought me a galaxy note with 2.3.6 firmware,
And i wonder what does the PDA and CSC mean in the firmware upgrade to ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I don't really understand which firmware to choose...
I want to choose 4.0.4 but dont know which one.
I am currently using :
model number GT-N7000
android version: 2.3.6-mobile-star
baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4CL886827
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
What is my PDA?
What is my CSC?
What is PAD?
What is CSC?
Which firmware can i choose?
What is the difference between all the firmwares?
Thanks in advance
PDA represent your build version
e.g your current build is Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6, then PDA version of your ROM is XXLA6
again XX represend for countries, XX means it is for europian country
If suppose your build info contain DDLPA, then DD represens for India and PDA version is LPA, means that ROM is for India
Same way CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#
again first two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)
Latest ICS is LRK for germany, you can use that too.
I see

Thanks for the reply dr.ketan now i understand something!
Just to make the picture complete:
when i dial *#1234# i get:
PHONE: N7000XXLPT - what that means?
CSC: N7000EULA1 - what that means?
I understand that because my phone uses PDA with XX i can use any EuropeanROM ?
Thanks a lot!

you can update to any rom any time, just follow dr ketans thread and follow pc odin route
Updating throught Kies/ota is tricky, you need pcode sometimes of the country rom you want to go to, no root, and csc of that countries rom, and a whole stock rom installed for that csc. Best to just always follow pc odin route lol
also read stickies and threads fully cause a lot messed up by not doing that. One tip on ics do not wipe/factory reset

CWM and battery
I have rooted the N7000XXLRK successfully.
You mean that i can not install CWM application on that firmware?
So how do i backup the whole phone without CWM?
And another question:
i want to see the battery percentage on the upper bar and not only the battery icon indication, how do i do that? is that possible?
Thanks,
best, not to use cwm on a kernel that can trigger the emmc brickbug, best to use kernel like speedmod k3-11 or likewise which has the trigger for emmc brickbug disabled when doing anything in cwm, or in ics.
Dont wipe, factory reset, change csc, or delete large files on a stock ics kernel
to eliminate these issues read threads/first posts of kernel threads btw.
tip: use kernels based on tw, or stock for stock ics, kernels based on cm9 or other are not for stock..
tip2: when nandroid backup, and wanting to recover that, you need same kernel installed as when backup was made. So use a safe kernel
tip3 when recovering apps and data on different roms, issues can arise due to different database structures, which is why its not really supported on i.e. cm9
tip 4 Some roms are wipe some are not. when going to and from gb and ics stuff could linger, which could cause softbricks. There are clean ways to go to and from, enought threads on that's but always do it on safe kernel whatever wipe action

Download ur stock rom and extract the cache. img file from it. install this cache. img using pc odin selected in the csc tab
if you made efs backup with working ota, restore it, if you didnt, check if:
no custom parts installed (kernel)
Or parts that didnt come with same stock rom version (e. g. if you changed modem)
Or if your pcode is different.
pcodin is faster lol

Thanks for the explanation, but what do the letters PDA actually stand for?
(And please don't say "Personal Digital Assistant," because that's all I can find and I've been searching all day.) :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure it must mean something else when it is being used in a discussion of Android mobile phone software.
Does anyone know what "PDA" actually stands for, what are the actual words represented by that abbreviation?

Hi
I just bought a new Galaxy Note (but not from the provider) so I have no idea in which country it was released.
Now I'm trying to download a stock ICS rom from SamMobile but I don't know which rom (pda/csc) to choose.
my Note displays these infos :
pda n7000xxlc1
phone n7000xxlb2
csc n7000oxxlb3
but when I look for roms that match my pda/csc I find lots of them matching, but for different countries and different service providers
Do I why just pick one of them or what ?
thx
Is it carrier-locked ?
If no, then just flash any stock rom-doesn't matter which.
If yes, then I don't know-sorry.
Dont worry about which country the Note came from ..
Pick a Rom that is listed for your country, preferably the latest ..
get your true csc

From my point of view, I think that everything that you must do for your Note, at the very first time (if you want to be safe with it
and try from many custom ROMs) is to follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954.
It is a long way, especially for those beginners (like myself).
Don't worry about it. Flash any custom rom. Just stick with the instructions.

i would like to root it soon but would like my version as a lifesaver should i need to revert back
would like the version i specifically named...
This shud be same b'coz baseband number is not mentioned in that list
first is ROM version (PDA) second is CSC
You can check your CSC by *#1234#, if it same as mentioned on ROM listing(N7000OXALPY), then it is same, which you are looking for.

i dont think they will care if its connecting to kies or not... if on an official firmware and no counter, they will be more than happy
why are you sending it in?
you made efs backup before flashing any rom?
