[Q] Help Required: KL7 upgrade

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.

dont worry..it isnt..just update..

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.

[Q] Firmware upgrade

OK, this is my second post on XDA, but I'm finding it a little more difficult to get to grips with the Note and its workings, coming from my HTC Desire.
I'm currently on Kernel version KKA, and have read Dr. Ketan's guide about how to root your device, which seems very straightforward. My phone is prompting me to download a new firmware, which I assume would make it more difficult to root, as it would have a newer kernel than the one I currently run, so I have held off for now.
My question is, if I root and want to apply the firmware update, I assume I can do this manually, and would obviously prefer to maintain root, rather than downloading over the air, which would remove my root. From what I've read, I assume I could do this with Mobile Odin Pro, but could I also apply a pre-rooted version of the new firmware, and if so, which is the firmware I should use?
Like many of you, I am waiting for the official ICS upgrade before I mess around too much with my device. Thanks for any advice you could give.

why would you wanna search for pre-rooted rom when u can keep rooted in all stock rom with just few easy steps???? Its very easy with CWM !

Yes exactly agree to priyanv
You have kka rootable ROM, just root n get cwm.
Then you can update any ROM, either with mobile odin or cwm
Just want to advise somthing, but b4 that just decide, which rom you want to update after rooting.

[Q] Root XXLA6 question

Hi all.
Finally got a Note and love it, but while I wait for official ICS here in the UK, I'd like to keep stock 2.3.6 GB but safely root it.
There's so much info here, it makes me a bit nervous in-case I pick the wrong method.
I have this:
https://www.box.com/s/1dfacc6107713602d2e8
and would like to know what method I should use to root.
Thanks

Use Dr. Ketan's method!
Go here and follow the instruction for your Rom.
Edit: Just saw your picture, you have LA4 not LA6 on your device, that means that you can flash a Direct Rootable Rom!

Thanks for the reply but I'm a bit confused, my Note shows Build: GINGERBREAD XXLA6 as does the Kernel, so are you saying that it's the Baseband version : N7000XXLA4 that I should be paying attention to?
Also according to Kies it's PDA:LA6 / PHONE LA4 / CSC LA1 (XEU)

yes la4 is the rom version you are using, you will need to downgrade to be able to root

which rom do you suggest I downgrade to and still allow update via Kies?
Will the downgrade via Odin up my flash counter and give me the triangle?

go look at the root thread, there is a link for kj1, which is non wipe rom so all your settings will stay in tact
no it wont give you the triangle because it is a stock rom

I bought the Galaxy Note N7000 yesterday and I have exactly the same android-, baseband-, kernel version and build number. The only difference is I'm from the Netherlands and using Vodafone.
Now I've been looking for a way to root it, but I also wondered which XXLA# I should use for it.. I saw the reply of the downgrade (ofcourse) but I am wondering: those r for Poland and Germany... Or doesn't that matter and I can root it anyway w/o bricking the phone?

Post november roms are difficult to root, best optuon is to go to pre december 2011 rom
Or go to ICS and use cwm. Zip and superuser. Zip method

Well yeah, I get that point, but the thing is: I'm kinda noob with this. To be honest: my roommates rooted my galaxy s for me, but they did it so fast that I didn't get half of what they did..
My eventual goal is to learn how to root a smartphone and upgrade mine to android ics. My current android version is an unrooted stock 2.3.6 and I wanna go for a rooted ICS, but I already start to wonder now if I can upgrade my phone to rooted ICS immediately from the 2.3.6... Could u guide me a little in this?
By the way: sorry if I ask some pretty obvious questions that might have already been answered elsewhere on the forum, but I have been looking all over the forum and just don't know which info I should use from which posts anymore..

If you want ics then it is very easy.
First flash ics and then root it., ics is directly rootable.
I recommend first hard reset on gb rom for clean installation.
All informatikn regarding ics update n root, u can find on first link on my signature.

Well, I thought the safest way to get me ICS on the phone was through updating with Samsung Kies. After this I was planning to put CWM in the folder sdcard/external_sd and Busybox on the internal sd, but...
I got it updated now, but I lost the folder external_sd.. I can't create a new folder with this name either.. I don't actually have an external SD card, but if I remember it well, I didn't need it either. I have seen the folder external_sd for sure in there..
Edit: Bought an external sd card and did the root like u said, but without flashing back to GB. It worked! Thanks alot for the clear walkthrough! Hail dr. Ketan!

Unable to update Galaxy Note N7000

Hello,
I'm currently living in Chile and apparently Chile released the version 4.0.4. I tried updating my android version through kies and the phone updater and no luck :/ My phone is rooted and the kernel is [email protected]#2. I'm not sure if the inability to update is due to the fact I used a kernel from another country other than Chile (I think I used an Indian Kernel). Is there a way I can go back to the my original kernel and unroot to update normally? I also have the urge to unroot my phone since my music player has been crashing too often and feel that the problem originates from the rooting.
Note: I am a very new user and I don't know most, if not all, terms such as flashing.
Help is very much appreciated,
-Kathy

Why don't you directly update it from here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Download the rom and flash it via mobile odin pro or pc odin As simple as that

Thank You! But...
Is there a way I can unroot my phone? Like going back to how I got my phone? Why isn't my phone able to update normally?

When you flash a rom using pc odin,u will be unrooted
Download the rom from above given thread and flash it using pc odin,you will be automatically unrooted

U cant possibly update due to a different version of kernel

When I flash my phone do I need a Pit file? Will this wipe all my music, apps, contacts, etc...? If I use a original chilean rom then my phone will be unrooted right?
Sorry for asking so many questions >.<

You don't need PIT files. Just Select rom file under PDA tab. No need to change any option. Just Start Flash.
And it will not erase your data on sdcard (internal or external)
Cheers

You need to backup your contacts,msgs and apps

Hope I am not to late, would be best to make efs backup before proceding, so you can always return to chili working rom. Its a backup of e.g. imei which is not easy to recover if accidentally lost.
How see toolbox thread dr ketan in general section. You need root for that. Save in multiple locations

How to change to my local Rom (solved)

My experience is with Motorola HTC huawei. I have never owned a Samsung before and I am a little confused. I rooted my note and it currently has an advanced recovery and I deleted some apps I never use. The image attached should tell you guys what it is at the moment. I would like to install the Bangladesh version ics Rom for the note but I'm not sure how to go about it.
1. How do I flash the Rom. Do I flash like I did with my HTC and Motorola.
2. Would I lose root in the process?
3. If and when Samsung releases jb for note would I be able to update ota?
4. What is odin why do I need it and what's flash count?
5. I don't like aosp or aokp roms. What Rom should I move to eventually?
6. If I flash a Rom will I lose everything from the internal sdcard?

1.
I never use HTC and Motorolla smartphone, but in samsung, you can use ODIN (you can choose ODIN PC, or Mobile ODIN).
For mobile ODIN, you can use the lite version free (from google play), or you can purchase the mobile ODIN pro. But mobile ODIN can only be use if you are rooted.
Otherwise, ODIN PC would be a good choice (if yours not rooted, or do not intend to purchase mobile ODIN pro).
You may refer to this thread (by dr. Ketan). Read properly on how to flash your Note, once you understand, you may proceed.
2.
If you are rooted already, and you flash by ODIN PC, yes... you will be unroot again, and go back to stock kernel.
if you use mobile ODIN, you can keep the root by choosing keep root option(but in some cases, root also gone). But don't worry, if your root gone in the process, you can always root back your device, using this thread (by dr. Ketan again). All credits goes to him, I only provide you the link.
3.
When sammy will release ? no news yet. I only know soon. But I believe it should be after the release of Note 2 in all countries, only then we will receive the OTA for JB on our N7000.
For OTA updates, I'm not so sure if you are able to do it perfectly when your device is rooted. I have never done the update from OTA / or even Kies so far. I always use ODIN.
4.
ODIN is a tools to help you to flash firmware / kernel / csc. It's an optional tools in case you want to flash firmware from other countries. Or when you want to change kernel, but your device is not rooted, or when you want to flash just the CSC files.
Flash count is the binary counter, it's like a protection to Samsung, so they will know whether you flash custom ROM / kernel onto your device or not, and if yes, how many times. Normally when your binary counter up, Sammy will void your warranty.
But don't worry, there's a tool to remove by using this thread (Triangleaway, by Chainfire).
Binary counter is up when you (edit : flash custom kernel via ODIN PC). When you flash original firmware (from any countries), using ODIN PC, it won't up your binary counter, as it is considered as official ROM from Samsung.
5.
You can use TW ROM.
6.
It is always good to move your important data to external SD card first. and/or you can backup first before you flash anything onto your device.
But my understanding, your internal SD card won't be affected eventhough you do a full wipe, unless you format it. :fingers-crossed:
Lastly,
Just a gentle reminder, DO NOT do any full wiping under original ICS stock kernel / recovery. You want to wipe, please flash a safe kernel first.
Choice of safe kernel = you can find it here, a thread summarize by Chasmodo.
Hydracore, Philz, and speedmod is proven to be safe (as they have removed the eMMC brick bug).
Please read all carefully before flashing.
Good Luck!

This was a very detailed and helpful reply. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Just one little question.
With Samsung people don't flash custom roms via recovery? People use odin? Or can it be done both ways?

Custom ROM normally flashed by recovery.
Normally you can only flash a Custom ROM after you have rooted your device.
ODIN only use to flash official firmware / CSC from samsung.
or to flash custom kernel.
anyway, if you are really new to this note, I suggest you to do more research and reading, especially on dr. Ketan thread.
He really helps us a lot here with his thread.
Only when you are confident and sure about the step, then you may continue. A lot ppl don't want to read carefully, and end up in bricking the device. (I was one of them when first time having this note). After bricking then I start to learn from scratch, read more post and thread.
u should do the other way around, read more, confident, then do.
Good Luck!

Thanks. Got my note on Bangladesh firmware following some reading with your directions. Going to flash a safe kernel and root again.
