I had got this phone from Portugal and I currently reside in India. This phone has not been released here. So I guess there wouldn't be an OTA update here. Guidance regarding which region update I should use with ODIN and would it be better if I wait for a OTA whenever it happens?
TIA

In my experience on multiple phones (Gio, Ace, S2) firmwares downloaded from sammobile for any region are flawlessly installed via odin. So i reckon you can download and install (via odin) the latest available firmware, regardless of which region it belongs to :good:
Thank you. Shall update it this weekend.

Hi
I was wondering if it's normal that there's still no official ics upgrade available in Belgium. I own a Note who's at 2.3.6 now. No ICS yet.. Checked with OTA update and Kies on my computer... Any idea when this will come around in my area? I have a "XX" phone version which is aught to be a Belgium version of the device.
Thanks in advance

Idem ... no ICS on Galaxy Note.
I'm currently running a UK Note, non rooted. About a week before the official ICS update was released for UK devices I used Odin to flash the Indian release of the update. I have since downloaded the UK ICS update to my PC but I was wondering if I should bother flashing it. I have no real issues with the version of ICS I'm using so what if any are the benefits of going to the version of the software I'm using compared to the UK official.

Probably won't be much difference at all.

If you have no issue with the current ICS you should not change to the UK version since just as in the second post there will be little difference even if everything goes well.
Hey guys, a few of my mates notes have updated over the air to ICS. Mine still has not, somebody said i needed to use Kies to update as i have an unlocked note. But it still says i have the latest firmware 2.3.6 gingerbread.

Try uninstalling Kies and then reinstall it again. Look for updates for Kies after the installation and then connect your phone to Kies through USB (better not use a usb-hub).
You could also flash this rom http://www.hotfile.com/dl/157417221/c9a3748/N7000XXLQ2_N7000XEULP4_XEU.zip.html with Odin manualy (not for Carphone Warehouse)
also double check you are not rooted if using kies
if u r the kies wont update
ICS has not yet been made available to all galaxy notes as OTA. more and more countries are being updated, but there are still some countries and carriers that dont have it yet.
ie. im in australia, but my phone is the polish PLUS model. still stuck on gingerbread. tempted to flash to another gingerbread version and then update OTA, but i dont feel like setting everything up on my phone again.
yeah i dont wanna set it all up again, spent weeks sorting it out. i guess ill just have to wait....
if my phone is unlocked though who will the update come from?

Yes mate, thats what i did :good:
You will not get ota's unless you do a full wipe so the csc will change to Germany
how to you change to German and is the original ee firmware available if I need to go back. Are everything okay with your phone with the new firmware and did you unlock yours like I did sorry for all the questions

Bll3 for i9305 for EE UK ver 4.1.2 is out, find it on samsung-updates.com

Hi all, just as a confirmation to me being very new to this :
Using odin to flash this ee rom will still allow my device to get OTAs with the assumption that a full wipe has taken place.
Is the above correct?
Thanks a lot for your time

My Dad has the original unlocked Note, and I'm wondering how I can update to the official Jelly Bean without rooting or voiding warranty, as it isn't showing up in the OTA menu.
Open Samsung kies and Let it download the update or go to settings and update via OTA
Let me know if you have issues with this we will walk you through it
I've tried updating via both Kies and in About Phone, both places say that it's the most recent firmware available.
OK you are on a version that hasn't received the OTA yet.
You will have to install it via PC Odin.
Go to Dr.ketan's sticky thread for step by step instructions.
