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)

Hi all,
I'm giving my Galaxy Note to a friend and I'm wondering what the best way is to wipe my note and install the latest 4.0.4 Stock ICS ROM.
I'm running 4.0.3 XXLPY and I'm not rooted.
Thanks for your help.

flash a safe kernel in ODIN, boot into recovery and do a factory reset along with all caches (including dalvik)
reboot back into download mode and flash the 4.0.4 firmware. easy peasy
I'm not rooted, would flashing just a kernel work via Odin?

you dont need root, just a sake kernel with cwm built in, such as speedmod , notecore and many more
The best way I feel is downgrade to gb rom do wipe and then upgrade to 4.0.4

Flash Abyss 4.2... Reboot Recovery Full wipe and flash ROM... Reboot System... Simple as that..
This is what I was thinking... is it safe to downgrade to GB via Odin from an ICS ROM? If so I think that would be easier.

giving your note away..... wow i say
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
Guys is it safe to downgrade from 4.0.3 ICS to GB via Odin, wipe, then update to 4.0.4?
Thanks

This works for me..
Because of the brick bug. I was afraid to do any flashes in stock ICS (4.0.3). Anyhow I need to upgrade my Galaxy Note to ICS 4.0.4. And after reading so many threads, Finally I found it is safe to Flash Gingerbread first and do a factory reset and then flash ICS 4.0.4.
ROMs I used to flash,
GB ROM (2.3.6)
N7000DDLB2---------2.3.6-------2012 February-------N7000ODDLA1---------------India---------------------------------Download (Non wipe)
ICS ROM (4.0.4) (Non-wipe)
N7000DXLR6---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2---Download--Sri Lanka
Read dr.ketan's thread for ROMs and more information.
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!

How do you want to update to jb?
By flashing a custom rom or wait for official update?
I assume you're on with stock official rom and kernel without root and waiting for official update. In such case don't do anything. Official update may come as a OTA or Kies.
In case, you are on with custom rom, go back to stock rom following drketan posts, without root and wait for update.

No gaurantee that jb kernel isnt also bad (brickbugwise)
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?

No. I did not root my phone.

Kies?
Not yet.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App
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.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App
Even Kies does the same as OTA and much safer than OTA.
Can it be done via kies air too?

If you know everything your questions are a surprise.
My answer was short because there really isn't anything more to do. Why should I talk and fill an answer with bloatwords?
Of course you should make backups (in recovery and/or with TB) of your devices and data - but that isn't a "must" only a sign of "diligence".
I heard some ROM doesnt work with philz or blablabla and im just afraid cuz i never try. And another one is i saw some custom mention LSZ or anything else, i afraid that official JB XXLSZ only for XXLSZ and will brick if i flash it on XXLRI. And im asking what to do before flashing, because i thought there would be something i need to install/flash before flashing that official JB. Thx guys
