Updating problems - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I wanted to update my note via "setting>about phone>software update>update". So i tap update and it started to download about 104 mb.
At the end of downloading, a message was shown to install update, so i tap the install button and the phone was rebooted. After a short time reboot was completed but a message appeared that update fail, try via kies.
Now what should i do to update?
What is the problem?
Is it with device or maybe one app or sth else?

May be your phone is rooted and have custom recovery. Did you try Kies?

Kies?

Not yet.

The try with Kies. It's the best way. If not you can manually update using PC odin.

As u know the updates which is given via phone, are official and related to region.
Searching for these kind of update is time consuming while phone do it by itself.
So the best way is to use phone update and via OTA.

Even Kies does the same as OTA and much safer than OTA.

Can it be done via kies air too?

Try re-installing the LG drivers

Have you tried to download OTA rootkeeper and choose Hide Root from inside it ?
Its ridiculous how it wont work with rooted phones, there must be a patch somewhere ? Im a Virgin Media user myself so i dont have this issue.

unroot by flashing the ROM again
Tried reinstalling Rom with mobile odin. Now have stock 4.0.4 with no root and stock recovery and it still won't work. Could this be because of using mobile odin?

I dont get why sky go still says im rooted
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Have you taken the sky app out and replaced it?
If you have the copy of the app you had when rooted it may be the problem. Was for me. I did the above and it worked.
From box 13......
Tried that too. Ill try again though for good measure

Instead of going back to ICS through Odin try to flash the GB LC1 ROM (which is full wipe). Chances are you have flashed a non wipe stock ICS ROM. Hence some undesirable leftovers.

Go back to stock gb, imposible update via ota or kies

Hi there.... i just tried to install stock rom gb, and then i checked the ota update and also kies and told me that no updates found for yor phone, your phone is up to date. Why???

May be your csc is not matching your region
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
And what should i do?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Check using *#272*IMEI#. This will give you a list of csc you have. Select GB.
This will wipe the phone so make sure you are on a safe kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
And after that flash with odin gb rom?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
No.. Just select the csc as per your region. The phone will reset and the you should be able to connect to kies for upgrade.
Ok...so i understand that first i should instal gb via odin, then i should do the stepst that you told me, and than i can upgrade via kies. I understood well? Thank you very much for your amability!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yes. Also you can install any latest version using odin. It's better then kies upgrade.
Thank you mate! I give you a virtual beer!

[Q] Best method for updating official ics to official jb for n7000

We can update to official jb via OTA or kies or kies air.
But the question is what is the best method?
There are lots of guys believe that their problems with official jb is because of using bad methods while updating.
And What are the possible mistakes which can be done while updating to official jb?
Just update through kies , its the best method or OTA if you can , its from samsung and you wont run into any problem And wipe after installing JB (dont wipe on ics)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

(sorry for question. I dont have enough experience in updating androind.)

Can't find OTA update

Hi! I've been trying to download the OTA update on my phone but it stays on:
"Checking for available update.
Please wait..."
Anyone knows why? My phone is rooted by the way and bootloder is unlocked. Please help.

When the device is rooted and is running stock ROM, the OTA updates are not working properly on most devices. For example, in my Galaxy Y, when I tried to install a new firmware it stopped during the installation and rebooted on the old firmware. Then it displayed the known s*** like "The installation was not succesfull. Please try installing the firmware using Kies".
Otherwise, if your device is running a Custom ROM, you can update to the newest version without a problem.

Ok. Thanks for answering. What if I unroot the device? Is it possible the update works if I unroot the device?
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you unroot your device, you will be able to install a new firmware on it. Are you using stock or custom ROM?

I'm using stock ROM.

OK then. The solution is on the post 5. Unroot the device, install the new firmware and you can root the phone again if you want.
