Hi Friends,
I see that the ICS Update will arrive sometime between may/june. i have a rooted Galaxy note using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i just wonder when the time comes do i have to unroot to update or can i just update.. im new at this android world so i would appreciate any help i can get, thanks
Dont worry, sure you will get update to ICS
But how you have to update this can mentioned only after release of ICS, And yes it take few hrs to know just after release of ICS, you need is to just stay tuned here.
Just remember i said above in term of keeping your root intact. If you dont want to keep root, just you can flash Stock ROM of your country anytime, N just update ICS over Kies whenever it release over Kies.
Hi,
I have similar question. Previously I had a KK5 rom before I gave my note to Samsung in warranty for screen replacement. They flashed XLA4 rom and CSC is also changed now to JPLA1. Now KIES says it cannot upgrade my ROM. My question is: is it still possible to receive OTA updates (including ICS when it is available). Please note that my phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance.
To get update with Kies/OTA
your device should have installed ROM from your region, as well CSC should also be same as your region
Check CSC with *#272*IMEI#
Remember, changing CSC will wipe off data.
Sorry to bother you again. using *#272*IMEI# shows JED (which is correct for Saudi Arabia). There are other options to choose from e.g. KSA (which I think is also for Saudi Arabia but I don't know). Do you think changing will solve the problem? And is there any other danger (other than wiping the data) with changing the CSC? Thanks again.
Nothing more thn data wipe happen after changing csc.
Your installed rom shud b same for your region as csc.
If your rom is older for region, kies will show msg, you have update. If your rom is latest for this region, kies will msg you have latest firmware.
In other condition kies won't recognise your rom n won't allow to update.

Sure, when updating to stock you will lose the root, so you dont need to worry about that...You can look around and there are ways to flashing to next version if you want to mantain the root, tools like mobile odin can help you with that..... but i do recommend you to take a look arround the forum, you like me probably end up using custom roms

Hi Guys...
I need some help to root my buddies XXLA4 galaxy note...
it is currently on gingerbread.
I need the zimage file to root with the easy rooting toolkit.
but i've read some sonflicting ideas to downgrade first etc etc
Any ideas?
thanks a mill guys!
LA4 is non rootable directly
-You need to downgrade first to get it rooted
OR
-Install Pre rooted ROM
OR
Update to ICS and root it
Thanks Dr Ketan...Was actually looking at your thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Basically what he wants is Just Stock ICS.
ICS is not availabe in south africa yet. so guess option 3 is out of the question.
he does not want custom rom so option 2 is out as well.
If you can point me to the correct thread to downgrade i would be most gratefull.
If it was my own phone i would have no worries to try stuff but here i only have 1 chance LOL
thanks again!!!
You can flash any Stock ICS ROM, not necessarily it shud from country you have purchased note/using.
If you check his CSC (*#1234#) it may be something like JV*** if it was from south africa
As JV code is for contries includes South africa.
So find ICS ROM having CSC JV*** will be closer to his/her home country.
here is two version having this code Turkey and morocco. have ICS released.
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May-----------N7000OJVLP6-----------Turkey
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May------------N7000OJVLP6----------Morocco
This will be closer.
But practically there is no rule, you can have Any N7000 ROM.
Thanks again mate!
So i should first downgrade to a lower ROM...
then Root....
then go up to ICS?
No you can directly Flash ICS, ICS is rootable.
But as i said earlier go clean, wipe cach and data then flash ICS.
Thanks!
So i'm going to use this file N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar
to flash using your guide ICS installation and root.
that is the one I used on my galaxy note.
thanks man!
Hi all,
I have just bought me a galaxy note with 2.3.6 firmware,
And i wonder what does the PDA and CSC mean in the firmware upgrade to ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I don't really understand which firmware to choose...
I want to choose 4.0.4 but dont know which one.
I am currently using :
model number GT-N7000
android version: 2.3.6-mobile-star
baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4CL886827
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
What is my PDA?
What is my CSC?
What is PAD?
What is CSC?
Which firmware can i choose?
What is the difference between all the firmwares?
Thanks in advance
PDA represent your build version
e.g your current build is Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6, then PDA version of your ROM is XXLA6
again XX represend for countries, XX means it is for europian country
If suppose your build info contain DDLPA, then DD represens for India and PDA version is LPA, means that ROM is for India
Same way CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#
again first two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)
Latest ICS is LRK for germany, you can use that too.
I see

Thanks for the reply dr.ketan now i understand something!
Just to make the picture complete:
when i dial *#1234# i get:
PHONE: N7000XXLPT - what that means?
CSC: N7000EULA1 - what that means?
I understand that because my phone uses PDA with XX i can use any EuropeanROM ?
Thanks a lot!
backup your efs first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606012

you can update to any rom any time, just follow dr ketans thread and follow pc odin route
Updating throught Kies/ota is tricky, you need pcode sometimes of the country rom you want to go to, no root, and csc of that countries rom, and a whole stock rom installed for that csc. Best to just always follow pc odin route lol
also read stickies and threads fully cause a lot messed up by not doing that. One tip on ics do not wipe/factory reset
happy reading and searching

Find rooting guide from my signature n get cf rot kernel
Ps: cf root kernwl for lrk not available, use lrg instead of that.
Or use custom kernel like speedmod

CWM and battery
I have rooted the N7000XXLRK successfully.
You mean that i can not install CWM application on that firmware?
So how do i backup the whole phone without CWM?
And another question:
i want to see the battery percentage on the upper bar and not only the battery icon indication, how do i do that? is that possible?
Thanks,
best, not to use cwm on a kernel that can trigger the emmc brickbug, best to use kernel like speedmod k3-11 or likewise which has the trigger for emmc brickbug disabled when doing anything in cwm, or in ics.
Dont wipe, factory reset, change csc, or delete large files on a stock ics kernel
to eliminate these issues read threads/first posts of kernel threads btw.
tip: use kernels based on tw, or stock for stock ics, kernels based on cm9 or other are not for stock..
tip2: when nandroid backup, and wanting to recover that, you need same kernel installed as when backup was made. So use a safe kernel
tip3 when recovering apps and data on different roms, issues can arise due to different database structures, which is why its not really supported on i.e. cm9
tip 4 Some roms are wipe some are not. when going to and from gb and ics stuff could linger, which could cause softbricks. There are clean ways to go to and from, enought threads on that's but always do it on safe kernel whatever wipe action

Download ur stock rom and extract the cache. img file from it. install this cache. img using pc odin selected in the csc tab
if you made efs backup with working ota, restore it, if you didnt, check if:
no custom parts installed (kernel)
Or parts that didnt come with same stock rom version (e. g. if you changed modem)
Or if your pcode is different.
pcodin is faster lol

Thanks for the explanation, but what do the letters PDA actually stand for?
(And please don't say "Personal Digital Assistant," because that's all I can find and I've been searching all day.) :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure it must mean something else when it is being used in a discussion of Android mobile phone software.
Does anyone know what "PDA" actually stands for, what are the actual words represented by that abbreviation?
Thanks in advance for your help.
CSC and Google Play App
I've tried a lot of ROMs. Some ROM makes impossible to install applis from Google Play Store. For example when using the Sweet V5 ROM, I cannot get Firefox nor Chrome from the market. It says my Galaxy Note is incompatible. Do you have any idea of CSC management ?
please help me

Hi,
First of all here are my specs...
S5830
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: S5830XWKPA
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL561786
[email protected]#1
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKPY
I want to flash this rom from sammobile which I beleive should work with my phone
Model Country/Carrier Date Version PDA CSC
GT-S5830 United Kingdom / Ireland 2011 September Android 2.3.6 S5830XWKPY S5830XEUKP1
but before I do I would like to backup my existing rom in the same format as this rom so I can flash through odin.
I found this page on the wiki for backing up your rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/How_to_backup_Original_ROM but its not in the same format as the downloadable roms. Can I flash this through odin? or how can I backup my rom like the downloads from sammobile?
I just want a backup so I have something to fall back on should I need to.
Thanks
First of all. The rom you are trying flash is very old. New firmwares are more stable. Try a rom which was released this year. I wonder why you want to backup the original rom, its old. Anyway, just backup stuff using cwm, search for your current firmware of sammobile and download it. If you want to return back to original firmware, flash the firmware via odin and restorethe cwm backup.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
There is no official rom higher than 2.3.6 for this phone, I'm guna flash cyanogenmod at some point when I get a bit more time but for the time being I just wanted to flash official 2.3.6. Am I wrong in thinking the CWM needs a rooted phone to work? or will this feature run on unrooted phones?
thanks
Try the Spanish Rom XWKTQ.. And i'm sure you'll love it.. Almost Bug free and really fast..

CWM needs a rooted phone.
About the firmware. Yes the highest android version is 2.3.6, but new firmwares have more features and more stable. Flash XWKTQ.

Just 1 quick question, just want to double check, aslong as its XW*** or another uk rom can I just flash it, because i was under the impression you cant flash roms from other countries unless its rooted?

If your phone is operator specific then flashing rom from different countries might cause problems. If your phone is unlocked and you can use it with any operator then no problem. You can flash any rom.
reply
ah ok, mine is on o2 uk but it was bought from phones4u so it should already be unlocked, so thats good to know. There doesnt seem to be any o2 branding on the phone so i'll have a play when I get sum spare.
cheers
But still, just try using a sim from some other operator and see if it works. If it doesnt, your phone is operator specific.
yeah, will do,
thanks
