you can change csc, but it wipes so not suggested on stock kernel. Flash safe kernel-> wipe->flash stock LR6 using pc odin and then you should be able to recieve OTA.
Or wait for few days for the LR9 rom (odin version) and then flash it using pc odin.

you can first root (dr.ketan's 1st method) and then flash either speedmod or hydracore (both are safe and smooth) using mobile odin or k-tools OR directly flash either of these kernels using pc odin in download mode (it will raise yellow triangle and all, search and use triangle away for it)
You can check a short and nice guide for rooting and flashing kernel in my sig (first link, point #2)
After flashing safe kernel, boot in cwmr and wipe all 3, reboot.
(you can change csc after flashing safe kernel if you want to)
Restart Note in download mode, connect to pc and select LR6 tar file (stock firmware) in PDA field of pc odin, hit start.
OR
If you have Indian GB firmware downloaded then simply flash it using pc odin without flashing any kernel, then wipe and update to LR6 using either pc odin or Kies and then LR9 via OTA. (Edit- I am doing this right now, was on LR6 with lot of customizations and OTA was no success (2 failed attempts), flashed GB using odin and now updating to LR6 using kies, will try OTA then
Feel free to PM me if you still have questions.

I guess this pre-rooted GB rom includes custom kernel (CF root kernel I believe), so I don't think you would be able to update using kies. Either flash stock un rooted GB firmware or follow the long method.
If you think this is too complicated then wait for few days, I am sure Dr.ketan will upload pc odin version of LR9 once it is available, flash it using odin, till then use your phone as it is

I am at my whit's end here. So my new Note is ATO region from Austria. It's on KKA and rooted with CWM.
Flashed LA4 from Germany, null keyboard, CWM would FC when I tried to flash just the cache.
Flashed LA3 open europe, null keyboard, tried to flash the multi CSC file using PC odin-failed
When using Mobile Odin to flash cache, I see in the recovery it says something to the affect, "it cannot access system/.../ATO"
So when I try to change my region on LA3/4 I cannot see any options. I restored back to KKA and went to change my region and don't see DBT.
What am I doing wrong? I'd like to flash LA4, it felt snappy as hell. Was using LA3 on my other Note.
A million thanks in advance.
i got that, you are using KKa right now. just get it Root, get CF root.here you just get CF root for LA4 not KKA
so at the end you may have
Build version KKA
Kernel LA4
Now Download LA4 ROM extract n keep zip file to Ext card/firmware folder
open CWM
select ' Flash Stock ROM'
Shud be all OK

Going to try this. Tried cache.img from LA4 DBT and from LA4 Austria but didn't work.
EDIT I am back on LA4..can I do this FLASH STOCK ROM from LA4?
Ok that worked bro, they don't call you the doc for nothing. Another million thanks, I can finally go to bed, LOL!
Had the nullnull stuff happening too trying to go back to GB via mobile odin after getiing the crap scared out me by ICS eMMC bug. Flashed to pre-rooted KJ1 with mobile odin, then used CWM to flash to later version. Works a treat, thanks Doc
I used Dr. Ketan's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360) with the SU 0.91 modification.
I would like to upgrade safely to 4.0.4 without wiping my data and having to backup / restore.
I'm not bothered with keeping the root.
Many thanks for any help.

You need to flash a GB kernel such as abyss then wipe cache and dalvik before upgrading using pc odin.

U can flash it from PC Odin or mobile Odin and u dont have to wipe data after flashing...
PC Odin is safer..

I updated mine yesterday from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 via PC version of Odin and didn't wipe the data. It works pretty darn good, but the issue that I had previously on 4.0.3 is still present here - dropping the wifi signal...
eMMC bug
Thanks you all.
I also happen to have the eMMC bug according to the ChainFires GotBricked
I did upgrade from GB to 4.0.3 (Open UK) via Kies when the ICS came out.
Seems that the bug won't affect you if you go through Odin..
Well, I did it from Odin, then flashed the CF Root + Speedmod kernel in the same way to get CWM + Root + Kernel optimizations on top of ICS 4.0.4 !
It may take 10 minutes if all is prepared.

4.0.4 file size
Is the un-zipped .tar file size meant to be about 950mb?
I am running 4.0.3 (rooted) and NoteCore v13 Kernel so as far as I can tell from this, all I need to do is flash this via Odin and it's all gravy from there.
Thought?
Thanks,
Grady
Just download a 4.0.4 official firmware from Dr.Ketan's list and flash it with PC Odin. Done.

Yeah, use PC Odin and click on the 'PDA' button to look for the .tar file and that's it. Click on "Start"
On the side note, I did mine not thru PC Odin but thru Mobile Odin pro. Either way, the processes are quite the same, Flash the .tar file and that's it.
John
Thanks gents. It's running 4.0.4 now
I want to upgrade/update from stock GB rooted. Which one to use? I have paid mobile odin and also access to pc odin. Which one is guaranteed not to have binary count and/or Yellow triangle?

If you're going to Stock ICS then use PC Odin, It will not increase the Binary counter - either way you will lose root but follow Dr. K's method to root once on ICS.
I believe the Yellow triangle will only trigger if flashing a non-stock (Custom) Kernel via PC Odin. I use Mobile ODIN for kernel flashing.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have just watched Cursed4eva youtube video using Mobile Odin to flash German ICS stock on rooted gb. I think that was also ok. but he did mention if binary count is triggered. It also has everroot enabled. Seems ok ?
If you want to flash just stock ROM, you can use either.
Stock ROM won't raise counter in anyway.
But i do recommend is go with PC Odin. as well clean.
You are already rooted so make backup with titanium
Hard reset (wipe cache and data from recovery) on existing GB ROM
-Flash ICS using PC Odin
-Root it, and restore appl using TB (avoid restoring sys junk, just only restore user app)
And yes above menton method won't increae flash counter.
Use first link on my signature to get ICS ROM + installation N rooting instruction

Successfully updated to DXLR2. Now another question- How do I install a custom kernel like Speedmod without triggering the binary counter?
Follow Dr.ketan's Rooting guide for ICS and install a custom kernel through CWM recovery or using mobile ODIN. :good:

I usually flash kernels with Mobile Odin or CWM.. I don't like to flash custom kernels with PC Odin as the Binary counter increases. Yes, I know that you can use Triangle Away.. But this for me should be a last resort when there are other methods available..
I rooted via Dr. K's method and flashed the latest Speedmod Kernel via Mobile Odin - I am running Stock 4.0.3 with SpeedMod K3-11. NO Binary count increase and no need for Triangle Away...
I think there's a few people getting to used to using TA to take short cuts to do things....It is itself, not without risk...

I've searched for hours about this and you might have just answered my lingering question. I am on stock rooted 4.0.3, and have been looking to flash a custom kernel, while avoiding pc odin, and binary count. Just wasn't sure if mobile odin was safe or not to flash kernel, while running stock kernel.

Mobile Odin is safe to flash a custom kernel.
Download the kernel you want to flash to your SD card (internal or external).
Run Mobile Odin, grant access through Superuser and go to the kernel section inside Mobile Odin pro and look for the kernel that you earlier saved from the download.
After that, just tap on flash firmware (inside Mobile Odin still) and that would restart your phone and once booted, you now have a new kernel.

Thanks for all the replies- sorry for further asking. Suppose I want to get back to GB from present ICS stock with Speedmod kernel can I use Mobile Odin right away to flash any stock GB? Or go the PC odin route? Which is safer?
I am running stock 4.0.4 with hydracore kernel.
I am getting the OTA update but cannot install.
how can i get back to the stock kernel without flashing the stock rom via pc odin ?
You got 2 options...
1. Download the stock ROM on your PC and extract the kernel (zImage) and flash it after
2. Download Chainfire's stock CF-Root kernel from this link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 and find the kernel that matches your ROM (on your region.

Download stock kernel for your rom from here and then flash using mobile odin or K-tools. I have done it many times using mobile odin and it even retains root.
But there is still no guarantee of OTA, I was on stock LR6 with stock kernel with mods and OTA failed everytime, now flashed GB and updating to LR6 via kies to use OTA.

Most often it will.. since your using PC Odin.. but there's nothing impossible as long as you root your phone back and use ChainFire's TriangleAway app to remove the counter back to 0.
EDIT: Yes, MOdin can flash Zimage as well.. try to look for some of the answers here as well -->>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713289
Flashing anything which is stock should not raise custom count, same way as flashing stock firmware using pc odin doesn't. but why take chances when you can flash it using mobile odin or K-tools easily.
I even once flashed stock kernel using Doomlord's tool (used in CF root kernels to root and flash , it didn't raise the custom count.
Just put zimage on root of SD and flash by MO or ktools, easy. Modin can handle zimage and tar both.

Yes, that's why I said no guarantee of OTA even after flashing stock kernel, I was on stock kernel already and never flashed custom but still had to flash GB from odin for OTA
How do i format the phone? phone can only enter download mode, and recovery mode cant be opened.
If you're using GB download Odin 1.85 and a firmware from Samfirmware.Then extract zip take tar.md5 into PDA (in Odin software) then flash with Odin mode. (Don't check re-partition).If you're using JB download Odin 3.07 then go ahead with 4.1.2 ROM
Or if you using GB you can update to JB too.
Well i used your tips and tricks but I think two systems overlap, why I ask how can I reset. But i flashed GB with odin v3.07 and not v1.85. So how to reset without bootloader.

If you flash the official stock firmware using Odin in download mode, it should erase the old system and write the new system in your device. So, there should not be a problem of overlapping. If you are on GB, yes you can flash any GB firmware using Odin 3.07. But if you're on JB, you need to follow the downgrade instruction. You can't simply flash it.
