Hi, I want to update Stock ICS ROM (found from Sammobile available in my region). When I connected to Samsung Kies, it shows "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". Possibly due to custom kernel, I guess.
Currently I'm using Notecore v12.5 kernel on Stock ICS ROM (DXLR2 - my region). Do I need to flash back Stock kernel first (from XDA thread) following the same as my current ROM version?
Thanks for your help.

Not guaranty even after flashing stock kernel you may get it. But sure you can try. If your installed rim is not for your region still it wont allow to update, in that case update using Odin.

You need to be full stock but also you need to match your csc with the rom to be able to use kies...
I encourage you to flash a gb stock via odin and once in gb change the csc as it requires a wipe and wiping in ICS stock kernel its not safe..
Don't know if you can change csc in a custom kernel... SO someone like dr. Ketan could guide you better in this... In order to avoid going back to gb to change the csc

Thanks for your reply, Dr. Ketan.
I've tried flashing back Stock kernel downloaded from your thread Anyhow, still unable to upgrade by Kies. Checked firmware version shows on Kies, looks like PDA & CSC version incompatible even I chose the same kernel version
Shall I clear cache & Dalvik? Which method much safer on stock ICS?
If all still not working, perhaps I need to re-flash using PC Odin.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
No wipe is safer on stock ics.
Reflash notecore, full wipe then flash ics using pc odin
Then again reflash notecore n finally reset counter. This shud b easiest n safest way.

Noted. If I don't want to full wipe (take time to re-install since I don't use any backup apps), can I still flash Stock ICS 4.0.4? Means that after flashing all will restore to factory default & root missing?

Yes you can flash stock ICS 4.0.4 without wipe too.
If you flash nonwipe version(My stock ICS ROM thread listing contains only Nonwipe), still your data will be intact, but No root.
But, If anything goes wrong you have to wipe compulsory and you will lose data. another thing is clean flashing always give you better performance.
So in case of you want to keep data, use mobile odin. like this
1-Reflash Custom kernel to get root access(i doubt you may have partial root.If you having full root, you can escape this step)
2-Backup with Titanium
3-wipe cache and data(here only if you have safe kernel, otherwise skip)
4-Reflash ICS
5-Reflash custom kernel
6.Wipe cache and data, if you have note did on step3
7-Restore data wit Titanium

Thanks for your guidance. I will try first suggestion to flash Stock ICS ROM without full wipe. Previously downloaded non-wipe Stock ICS ROM from Sammobile See if this work fine for everything. Then only install back Notecore v13.

Dr. Ketan,
I reflashed Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM, but the Superuser still exists. I connected to Kies & it still doesn't support upgrade by Kies. The root should be missing, isn't it? But, it still exists.
Don't know where it goes wrong.

Also, notice from Kies, current firmware version as :
PDA:LR2 / PHONE:LR1 / CSC:LR1 (XXX)
I thought if CSC same as kernel & follows PDA version, it should be LR2 (XME) ; XME - my region.
Any idea? Thanks

B'coz you must have updated supersu from market in previous.rooted rom. That install as non system appl, which can't remove by flashing rom, you need to uninstall update before flashing ROM.

Dr. Ketan, you are right. I updated SuperSU from Google Play. I did not remove it while flashing Stock ICS ROM.
Afterwards, I tried to flash latest version DXLR5 (my region) downloaded from Sammobile. It managed to clear my SuperSU from menu & About Phone shows the same version.
Note : I found SMS can't send or receive. Even I manually key in phone number of Operator's SMSC.
However, it still doesn't support upgrade by Kies. I guess likewise you said due to CSC / kernel incompatible
If so, how can I change back to Stock firmwares to get back ori PDA/Kernel/Modem/CSC (since I reflashed Stock ICS ROM directly still helpless)?
Shall I flash back to Stock GB ROM & do full wipe first? Then, install back Stock ICS ROM? Lastly, can flash Notecore v13 kernel?
Thanks for your help
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Find out any GB ROM which was available for your country, then flash it using PC odin.
Then check your CSC by *#272*IMEI#, if it is not same as it shud be, then manually change it from list available there. This will hard reset your device, then you should be able to get update on Kies.
PS: Practically i dont feel any importance to have correct CSC. You can use your country Modem if you have any issue with SMS or mobile service related issue on foreign ROM.

Noted, Dr. Ketan. I have Stock GB 2.3.6 ROM (from Sammobile) & will flash via PC Odin & do full wipe from there.
Just checked *#272*IMEI#, it shows XME (my region). Guess why it can't upgrade by Kies
Again, thank you

Oh, yes, Dr. Ketan. If I flash back Notecore v13, is it necessary to upgrade SuperSU from Google Play? Or just leave it as existing version pre-installed with Notecore kernel? Which is advisable?

Thanks for recommendation. Mostly I update by OTA. As I saw firmware update available in my region from Sammobile, hence I click OTA but not found. Then I try using Kies but it shows that msg.
So, I wonder why Kies can't upgrade since there is no issue for the past.
P/S : My friend told me he got update from OTA (not rooted his phone with Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM)

Hi,
Thanks alot, its work and now I'm on 2.3.6 stock ROM with rooted but when I use mobile odin pro to flash it that time, there isn't an option for me to select the 'Inject CWM Manager'...so now need to install again.
Any idea why don't have that option? Could it be the version of mobile odin?

Cm kernels will not work with tw based roms, only with aokp/aosp, and vice versa. You'll have to read up on the kernel pages themselves on which rom types they support.
So flash to gb first, perform full wipe, root and install cwm, then you can install custom kernels and roms from there. Never install from ics kernel, only downgrade to gb to be safe.

Most of the rom files split down into three files but If you place the original tar file into pda, odin sorts out the partitions correctly for you.
All stock gb kernels are safe from emmc superbrick bug, safe to perform wipes.

I find here this emmc bug is killing everyone.
I bought this GN just 2 weeks ago.at begining it came with GB installed.i recieved ota update in the same day for ics.so i did it.
After updating i did factory reset the device without knowing that there is a danger to damage the device.
Then i tried to root and installed some other kernels with cwr, which was another mistake.and finally flash it again with stock rom.but this time no wipe!
So the phone is not in clean state.
I read that one way to avoide damaging the device is to flash it with GB rom and then wipe then flash it again with ics one.all by pc odin.
But my problem is i cant find the original GB Rom to do it.
Is it important to flash with original or i can do it with any stock GB rom?
And is there any kernel based on stock kernel which has no mod no tweak and stuff but safe to wipe?i mean with mmc earase disabled.

Here's the link where you can find stock GB (Courtesy of doc Ketan) ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 Find your Stock ROM (based on your region)
Let me clear out some wrong notions spreading before.... you can safely WIPE your phone even on ICS as long as you have installed a safe kernel on to your device. You don't necessarily need to go to STOCK GB and do the wipe from there. It is already safe WIPING your phone on ICS just as long as you have the safe kernel installed on your phone.
Safe kernels to mentioned are SpeedMod, HardCore (that is if your in ICS), AbyssNote (if your still on stock GB)

If you can't find any stock GB from your region then don't fret , Download a direct rootable ROM closest to your region and flash it from there. Remember, your goal is not to say long in GB right? so after you've downloaded a direct rootable GB ROM.. Download back your stock ICS ROM thru PC Odin, ROOT it thru Doc Ketan's thread still and then do a FACTORY wipe after.
P.S. Don't worry about the triangle mark on your boot up screen. You can safely remove that thru ChainFire's TriangleAway app (when your rooted already)
I'll try this.
After all, what do you suggest as a daily driver rom or kernel on GN which is safe and stable to flashing wiping and stuff?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'm using stock LRQ (for now), but I've cooked it and made some big modifications to the ROM itself and now everything's working and my phone ''flies'
For the kernel.. SpeedMod is my truly one option... Stability and battery performance... It never fails on me still.... Any cooked ROMs I'm making or flashing one from our good ROM cookers here on this forum.. This kernel is still my best bet... but hey... this just me okay... if you want other safe kernels out there, feel free to try them out... it's your choice anyway...

Hydracore can be used on all ICS and JB roms (TW, CM and AOKP) another is Speedmod for TW ICS roms, these two are safe and can be used as per your rom. Most of the roms are stable now, it totally depends on you, which one suits your requirements

Hello, Im on jellybam and I get games little laggy. I done full instal, full wipes, full formats. Everything is clean. And I heard that ICS stock ROM is for best performance and games running very smooth. Is that true? If yes, which one Stock rom I have to install. Im from Lithuania, East Europe. Do I need first downgrade to GB and then write ICS? Or easiest way would be flash GB and try upgrading vie Kies?
I was on JellyBam and have went back to a stock-based rom, but I installed Sammy stock roms first. The process is simple...
1) Download GingerBread rom for your model from here
2) Get Odin, and follow the instructions on the thread to flash GB.
3) You can now either download a stock ICS rom from that thread, or do an OTA update, it's up to you. Using Odin will not increase the counter as it is an official rom.
4) Flash ICS using Odin/OTA
5) DO NOT WIPE ON ICS UNLESS USING A SAFE KERNEL. Personally, I'd go for Philz kernel, so download it and follow the instructions on that thread.
All you need to make sure is to be on a safe kernel whilst on ics. So you can flash ics using odin and the install a safe kernel and do a reset to get going.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Ok, so I need go to GB, then ICS and then to safe kernel, yes? And when I flash safe kernel then I should do full wipe and flash ROM again or just wipe?
Load the rom you want on pc and the corresponding philz kernel to ext sd
You can install ics using pc odin
Once it's done, boot into recovery and install philz kernel and then boot into recovery again and do a factory reset.

I looking for stock ICS and I found only One ICS for Baltic region N7000XXLQ3 and there is no philz kernel that is near XXLQ3 , so what to do? I tried KIES but it just showing rotation CONECTING... and nothing happpening, i reinstalled drivers, but still nothing.
As far ics is concerned, most of the ics kernels work with any rom. So worth a try

Hello, Im on jellybam and I get games little laggy. I done full instal, full wipes, full formats. Everything is clean. And I heard that ICS stock ROM is for best performance and games running very smooth. Is that true? If yes, which one Stock rom I have to install. Im from Lithuania, East Europe. Do I need first downgrade to GB and then write ICS? Or easiest way would be flash GB and try upgrading vie Kies?

Download the stock rom you want from the link you were provided above and download the philz kernel for that firmware and flash them in mobile odin. You don't need to flash the kernel after the firmware has been flashed. With mobile Odin you can do it all in just one step.

Well, you can flash kernel at the same time you flash the firmware in mobile Odin by selecting kernel in that option. Your build last three letters have to match the kernel version...check philz thread that is explained in,detail there.

for Baltic is only this one N7000XXLQ3---4.0.3/12.06---N7000OXXLP7---Download---Baltic
Also I cant connect via KIES to get upgrade from GB... Its stuck on connecting... Maybe there is no way for baltic countries to get ICS? :/
I found on samfirmwares.com ICS 4.0.4 for Baltics. PDA is N7000XXLRI , CSC N7000OXXLP9 . So witch one of philz kernels I should donwload?
There is some kernels with XXLRK , XXLRU, XXLRL, XXLRW. So which one?
You can use any regions rom. Does not matter.

Hi folks. I have decided to return back to ICS to get the official JB update when it hits in the UK. I was on various Custom JB roms but mainly CM10.1 and now want to try back out the standard JB. Anyways being the sensible chap that I thought I was I done a back up of ICS and that has reinstalled perfect. However not being such a clever chap I forgot I done that back up after updating to 4.0.4 (XXLRK) via Odin when I had my pc and now Kies wont let me update via it. Second problem I have is I no longer have a pc (in my house) because I bought an iMac.
So my question is. Is there a way to get a the standard ICS firmware that should be on an O2 Carphonewarehouse N7000 in the form of a ROM rather than the Odin files somewhere? I still have CWM recovery and Philz 3.99 installed and working.
Thanks in advance.
You can download the firmware you want from samfirmware.com and place it on phone memory. Then use mobile odin to flash the rom.
Do not wipe on stock ics kernels.

Ok I shall look to that idea. Just as another quick question if I do install the firmware via mobile Odin will it change the Kernel or will it keep me on Philz and thus still be safe?
While selecting the rom in mobile odin, it will fill up the partitions. At that time change the kernel manually to philz ics kernel tar.md5 file. That way you will be safe.
Just a thought but i wonder would kies pick up on the kernel and not allow update because of that?

No kies does not pick up kernel. Just PDA, phone and csc. But OTA won't work on other kernels and recoveries.
Had a look on Samfireware but no sign on 4.0.4 for United Kingdom. Am i just being blind?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
There is a cpw 4.0.4 in there which is xxlrk. I think that's what you already have.
Just looked one website via iMac and can see it. Not sure but here is a screen shot of my settings and i notice that the firmware seems to be the one listed.
Any other idea why kies not liking this?

This is what my kies says.

Could be because the baseband is incorrect. Open the rom file you downloaded and there will be a modem.bin file. Flash it using mobile odin. Use the modem tab.
Aha i knew it would be someething daft that i was missing. Thanks man.
Can you flash modem via cwm?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I don't know what modem it comes with that's why I asked you to extract from the rom file. If you know then check in this
