Hello,
I'm from the netherlands, and i am using the original 4.0.3 firmware (XEN). But since a few days there's on SamMobile a OTA file wit 4.0.4 firmware, and Samsung don't giving a update on KIES, and SamMobile don't having a ODIN file.
Is there someone who can tell me how to install a OTA file?
I have just the originale stock firmware 4.0.3 XEN and my phone is NOT rooted....
Just sorry if my english is not so good.
Gr, Marco
Dont think so, found anything on Google about that?

Hey listen Marco,
there are no procedure to install an Over the Air *OTA update as the word itself... the update is being push by your carrier to your phone...wirelessly. No user intervention itself. As long as your data connection /3G/4G is ON, then this push notification is being sent to your phone for the firmware upgrade. You need to skip on that OTA update as there's nothing much you can do about that.
Now what you can do is first, SEARCH, READ & LEARN most of the posts here in XDA. There are tons and tons of stuffs here in XDA alone that would guide you on how to upgrade your phone to the latest ICS firmware.
And by the way.. Kies is a proprietary sync software by Samsung. Kies (Air) you said is the one on your phone which doesn't mean at all really. What you need to do is download the PC version of Kies, install it on your computer. Sync your phone after and your phone would be upgraded... that's all you need to do.
You mentioned about ODIN... PC Odin is not in any way a software made by Samsung. Again, if you do a Search here in XDA, there are some threads who will give you a link on where you can download the latest PC Odin for you vis-a-vis, to upgrade also your firmware to the latest ICS ROM.
Sammobile is a website where you can download the latest firmware for you to use later on with PC Odin (once it's already installed on your computer.)
So, Marc... Take one stride at a time bud... what you need to learn (before going to stuffs about upgrading and rooting) is to READ and READ and LEARN your way around... the 'Search' button at the top right on this site is an indispensable tool as well for you to look for words that you like to look for.
Hope you find and muster it all bud and Good luck!

Okey, first of all, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, so I need some help.
After long browsing I was able to root my Samsung Galaxy.
Now I want to update my Galaxy from 2.2 to Gingerbread.
Since I rooted my Galaxy it won't connect to Kies anymore, so I guess Kies won't work.
I have an Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
FROXO.XWJPA,
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Is it possible to update, if yes, how?
Thanks
anyone? :l
Go to samfirmwares.com for the latest firmware

Download a FW from Samfirmware, the latest is I9000XXJVR (Its 2.3.4), then via Odin you flash a 3 file's, its CODE, MODEM and CSC, and pit file and tick re-partition
Xooley,
I'm new on the forums so cant post any links but if you search for "how to use Odin" then it's really not that difficult.
The biggest decision you have is whether to stick with a "stock" copy of firmware i.e released by the manufacturer or install one of the modded versions from the hard working developers on XDA.
if you have a rooted phone then this wouldn't normally prevent KIES from working, so it might be that your carrier (orange?) hasn't release a Gingerbread version yet.
You can get most stock roms from samfirmwares as stated above. If you've never installed a rom before, make sure you read about it (checked youtube) to see if there are any problems with the one that you have chosen.
best of luck
Dears,
I require help from you. My galaxy note has stock ROM and is very laggy.
PDA:KL3/PHONE:KL1/CSC:KL1(INU).
I read in some threads that with KL7 firmware, lag disappears completely.
i have few questions.
1. I want stock ROM and when i try to connect with kies, it says 'this is the latest firmware'. i bought this from India and Im currently in saudi arabia.
2.where will i get the STOCK ROM for KL7 and how to put in my note?
3. Will this 'unofficial' way clean up my data?or will my apps and setting remain as it is after update.
appreciate your replies.

1.This is latest ROM for India, thats why kies says.(you have purchased from india)
2. Read My signature
3.It has no relation with way you are updating, Dont select 'Re-partition' option while you flashing with Odin, so you will not lose data, but it is always advisable to backup first.
Now another thing, if you install KL7 by odin, you will not able to Root it later. If you want Rooted KL7, you need this
- Get ROOT + CWM in present ROM (read My signature)
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from market
- Now download Stock firmware, as i advised you earlier, n Flash your device with Mobile Odin Pro, with ' ever Root' option enable
thanku buddy
im sorry. but i downloaded a file N7000XXKL7_N7000OXAKL7_N7000XXKL7_HOME.tar.md5. now i see 4 options in ODIN: bootloader/phone/csc/pda. now where i should i associate this field.???
also since my csc is INU and this seems DBT is there anything should i b doing??? . pls gime detailed steps
just to select PDA, as you seen in guide.
got it right.upgraded to kl7. thank you dr.
I am confused. This is the latest firmware, but it is still carrier specific, correct?
Is there a firmware that is 'pure samsung galaxy note' which hasn't been manipulated by the carriers?
I guess KL8 is the latest firmware.

Hi khan.dharvesh. Can you please tell me did this KL7 upgrade solved your problem??
Plus, I want to know, can we upgrade this without rooting out phone?
Sorry but am absolute noob. Highest level of noob I would say, therefore I am asking such quesitons.

Hi I have the Czech version - KK5 firmware.
Today, on my phone I got a notification saying there's an update (about 70mb).
I downloaded it and tried to install it but when it rebooted, it said it was unsuccessful and that I should try with Kies again on PC companioin.
Now, is this because I rooted my phone? I currently have the original firmware rooted with CWM.
And I don't want to lose the root.
So should I go ahead and connect it to the computer and go through Kies?
Is there any other reason for my OTA update not working?
Thanks!

You can flash firmware with CWM and MobileOdinPro and keep root and CWM, read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784.
Download your firmware from Sammobile.com, unzip it and place it on your external sd-card and flash it.
You can not update officially through Kies/Fota when you have custom rom/kernel or root privileges afaik
Or just grab the stock Czech one from this thread (or any other stock, it ll be fine)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I have the stock czech that's on the site, but the new update came out today so i don't see the update in that link
can I just update to any other latest stock firmwares there?
Yes you can, I jumped between different stocks, from different countries (my main is United Arab Emirates), used Turkish and German with no issues so dont worry, just use Mobile Odin Pro (with everroot on) or CWM to retain the root , refer to the the previously posted link by Myamo for the CWM method (i would recommend mobile odin pro though, much easier and lazier well worth the money ^^)
i have a unit with UBKK1 baseband version, which i learned was a brazilian rom. Now i currently live in the Philippines and i cant get an ICS update thru kies here because of the rom. i went to the samfirmware site and found a Philippine rom, my question is can i flash this rom over the old GB brazilian rom using odin without any problems? my phone is currently unrooted thru the one click method, it was previously rooted thru the same method.
Ive also read you can change the country code, if i change it to the Philippine code and update thru kies will it work??
if you change the csc then yes you should be able to upgrade with kies tho i always download the rom i want then use pc odin its just a personal preference
Why don't you download Stock ICS ROM directly.... And flash it using pc odin??
can i download any stock ICS rom and just flash it with odin without any problems?
Yes you can.
Ive just now rooted my note on brazilian rom (stock GB rom), if i upgrade to the taiwanese rom using pc odin will i still retain root? and do i need to uncheck the usb debugging before proceeding with pc odin?
No you wont keep root.
Yes uncheck usb debugging.

He will keep root if he uses Mobile Odin Pro to flash the firmware
Indeed he will. But it was never mentioned, so I didnt want to bring it up.

if you want to flash phone in odin then phone should be in download mode,usb debugging is not matter,and you can root your phone again after flash,vie cf root make search at xda you will found that.

I would buy Mobile Odin Pro from the market, and flash this rom from here http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156659405/b6c3080/N7000DXLP9_N7000OLBLP6_XTC.zip.html . This will flash the correct rom and keep root.
thanks for all the helpful replies, i was able to successfully flash taiwanese ics firmware update using pc odin. and you guys are right, i did lose root. now the only problem is how to go back on root as i've frozen a lot of apps on titanium backup before and those apps aren't showing after the update. it seems like flashing over to a newer firmware didnt reset the phone. all my previously installed apps are still there.
Guys, after updating to ics, i couldn't install apks using astro file manager or even the stock file manager.Pressing the install button won't work. Previously on gb stock rom everything works. Is this an ics bug?

Hello everybody; I have a Galaxy Note N7000 with android 4.0.3 with the following characteristics:
- PDA:LPY / Phone: LPT / CSC: LP5 (PHE) (unbranded from spain) and band version is N7000XXLPT
Two days ago i checked if there is an update via OTA and i have found a new one with a download of 549.02 MB. I accepted the install and after the rebooting it says that there is an error and advised me to update it with Kies. But in Kies there isn't any proposed update.
I tried twice without success. What should i do ?
Thanks an advance.
if your phone is rooted and has a custom recovery then it wont install the OTA

No isn't rooted and have never been rooted before
in that case download the latest rom from samfirmware.com and flash it using Odin if you want to update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
My question. Why i'm in this situation? Usually when there is an update it occurs in Kies and OTA in the same time, or only on Kies but never in OTA only
recent update may be. not yet released for kies. should be there in couple of days
Thank you so much
always on OTA and nothing in Kies for a week now !!!
is it normal?
I can not update via ota too.
My note has an official 4.0.3 android.
Don't u think that maybe a software (for example my avast anti virus) prevent my note to update?
Should i factory reset?
As per Sammobile.com your firmware for PHE is not updated to JB.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-N7000&pcode=PHE#firmware
There is no JB update for Spain yet. If you really want JB I suggest use Germany LT4 and flash it using ODIN. Or
Try this:

Not completely true: the new XXLT5 from today has PHE as CSC for Spain and as default CSC Portugal (TPH).
I confirm, finally the update on Kies is online.
I'm updating now my Note.
However i don't know if it's a good one.
According to Samobile the version is PDA: N7000XXLSZ CSC: N7000XXLS4 Is it the good one like German?
It don't want to update nor in OTA nor in Kies. Should i reset my phone?
No Idea ?

Hi, i finally successfully updated my N7000 to JB 4.1.2
I used ODIN 3.07 and downloaded from sammobile the new firmware of my region.
Updating took about 25 minutes. It's not hard at all and all my data are there after rebooting.

Hello, it's from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
1- you enter the reference of the phone model, in our case it's N7000
2- According to the region of your phone firmware you should choose the exact firmware (be careful when choosing, it's very important)
