You can go to sammobile.com site and look in the firmware section to see if there are any available updates.
If the phone is not network locked, it does not matter which rom you flash. You can go ahead with he latest one ex. LTA.
Then download the firmware and flash using odin.
1st been there and only lt9 which is voda cpw and orange not o2 2nd not network locked to o2 i have flashed many custom roms in past just got fed up of incompatability issues or other probs with custom roms not saying there bad as there not just my experiance of said roms led me back to stock i honestly thought that o2 should of had bug fix update by now all the other uk networks have as stated earlier my sg2 which is o2 also has had four updats since its jelly bean release and it has no issues but my note got jelly bean near begining of year and since nothing at all ive tried kies no update availiable same when check over air latest update installed

Then you should be able to manually update to LTA.. though there is not much of a difference between LT9 & LTA. Does not matter it its from UK or any other region.
The thing is i honestly dont want to flash my phone again ive managed to run stock since official release and its been a bit slow from time to time but to be honest i have had no bootloops or freezes or incompatiable issues apart from that group thing with wifes s4 but thats the s4 as its fine with s2 i have tried hard not to flash again and its not easy with lt9 and lta about but i thank you for your reply

Hi guys put my phone on kies today and a new firmware version is ready to download came up..
i thought yes i have somehow got gingerbread..
when it completed it says froyo 2.2.1 firmware version what the hell is this??
My phone is in the UK on Three network i900nejs2
there are many versions of 2.2.1 maybe you just got a newer version.
there is a way to spoof kies into making you get the very latest release. or you could just flash gingerbread yourself through Odin.
or try one of the many many custom GB ROMs
how do i spoof?
and does it matter that my phone is network locked to three?
can i debrand it or watever?
Simple answer its 3 Uk latest update to 2.2 .1 comes after Froyo 2.2 .
Some put it out others have been very late .
jje
We will be seeing parallel versions of 2.2.1 and 2.3 for quite a while....get used to it. Not all carriers will be so anxious to send out gb to the masses, and many are still on 2.2.
Remember we may be champing at the bit for gingerbread, but likely the reaction of John and Judy Averageuser will be "Dammit....ANOTHER update!!!???"

Hello All,
I have one noob question!!.. I have a vodafone galaxy tab (Spain) and I had it unlocked (from simlock). My question is that when the official gingerbread comes out and I update, will I loose the unlock?? (as in the case of iOS devices).
pardon me for my ignorance on android os.
thanks in advanceee
Really!!! Noone here has any idea regarding this!!
I am amazed to see no reply..
Really!!! Noone here has any idea regarding this!!
maybe I need some other forums apart from xda..
I havn't gotten the update yet, however, I'm thinking that if you receive your update on-air from vodafone, then simlock would be reactivated. If you update through kies, there's a good chance that your tab will remain open. Just my opinion. Cheers!
Just to confirm from Italy if kies updated only unlocked tabs and not the ones sold by mobile service providers. Just to know if I should wait for the official release or go the overcome route.

If you flash an official samsung rom it will stay unlocked. I don't know about a vodafone.
For your second question I'll suggest you to flash with the italian rom, that's what I did with my french tab.

I've Have my own with vodafone too (unlocked), And I installed the las overcome ROM with gingerbread... It's amazing...
Looking at kies, it says that our tablet can't be upgraded ^^
thanks orion,
I was just being lazy to carefully follow the instructions to flash it myself (fearing to brick it and then post on the Q&A on a bricked tab!!..).
I will try to read the instructions and do it.. can you point out the exact link (as you get a million hits on the subject with google and it becomes hard to choose the right one)
cheers
You'll have to revert back to stock in order to receive an official OTA update. My tab keeps reminding me to update my software but I'm rooted and can't install it. If I do install...it bricks my tab and I have to start all over again using heimdall. Odin to you...
Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap
i.e.. to sum up.. maybe I shall wait a few days/weeks before going the odin route!!
Hi iam a newbie
I have been seeing lots of thread where note users are willing to go back to GB from ICS
And also have seen threads with NOTE BRICKED with OFFICIAL ICS OTA GERMAN rom installed via kies or OTA .. And also about eMMC bug or somethkng i heard which requires the note to be send back to samsung.
I love my note on GB but ics is ics afterall thats why i want it but my question is and i apologise if it annoys anyone as i am a newbie
So if i change my region by the easiest method without any bricking risk of changing SCS TO DBT OPEN GERMAN and then upgrading to OFFICIAL ICS VIA KIES OR OTA so will all these errors, bugs and note getting bricked, eMMc bug etc etc
Are they likely to happen to me as well? ?
Or is ot only happening on those Galaxy note which have installed official ics open germany rom via odin and other risky ways. . Or only to those note who previously had rooted and were using on custom roms. .
So plz can anyone clear my confusion so i can finally decide weather or not to upgrade to ics. ..
tnx in advance
Details regarding my device : bought 3 weeks ago. Never rooted or used a custom rom and No intention of rooting or using custom rom in future.
Plz provide the advice so i can make a decision on weather or not to upgrade.

hello m8. Like u i'm also a newbie. I can tell you that i've recently bought my note, unlocked version.
Today i've rooted it twice, @ 1st using europe rom and then france rom with portuguese csc.
Rooted it teice because with the first riot in kies started to say that i couldnt upgrade it.
Then aftwr many reading i've decided to upgrade to 4.0.3. Used dr. Ketan guide in the dev section and worked fine on my phone. I've tested alnost everything and till the moment i have not encountered any bug or mal function.
But as they say in the post there are some reports of some bugs or even worst some notes that "died".
I leave here a screenshot after the update.
Cheers
Thnks for the info mate
But i really dont wish to root thats why after seeing the thread which said uograding by just changing region plua widout root thats what made me confident enuf to finally go ahead and upgrade and give it a try..
But still worries me as daily i see threads here created with someeones brick either stuck in odin or recovery etc or either bricked bc Of ics.
So i want ics the easiest way possible widout root and thats only possible by changing region using those codes and selecting DBT and then kies and OTA server treats ur note as a german made note and u can then upgrade to ics... So i wanted to know even those who have uograded this way hav they also the chance of getting these bugs and emmc errors brick etc
If yes then i will wait for a fixed update by samsung

Anyone else never receive an ota update on there international past 2.3.6? I bought my note from ebay and it is south america model. Version 7000UBKK2. Tried kies and ota no luck. Why is this and who determines the update for different regions. Im using on AT&T network. What the hell?? Please explain.

have you got through that soft brick situation?
actually there is a new Leak JB on sammobile for South American N7000. check this tread
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/12/13...-note-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/
there are many reason why you are not getting an update. if there firmware doesnot match the update criteria like PDA/PHONE/CSC. but its always better to update manually using Odin
As nokiamodeln91 said - grab the JB firmware from sammobile and flash it - you'll get latest firmware, and fresh install is always better than OTA upgrade. Should you need any help with flashing, just ask
You most likely won't receive OTA update because UBKK2 seems to be a country specific firmware and they're sometimes poorly maintained. Best to flash international JB rom.
Just getting ready to start on it. Think I have a fix but well have to see what happens. As for the update I had been on the same gb rom since i got the phone like 6 months ago and just finally realised that it probably wasnt going to come. So as you see I bricked my first phone. Have been lucky with the atrix and 717 and even a previous model 7000 but i should have done more research before flashing. Will update the thread whichever way it goes. How is the battery life on these new JB roms? Ive heard alot of people complain about decreased battery life after updating to ICS and so I was skeptical about updating. Im open to suggestions as I have limited time to read up now working alot of hours on nights.
I think it's best to just root it and install cwm ( 1 step method by dr. Ketan ) and flash CM10.1 - you won't believe how fast and smooth Note can be.
Another option would be to get odin, download firmware from sammobile ( nokiamodel provided the link ) and flash it - single step procedure.
True, ICS had worse battery life, but it seems that JB fixed that, at least on AOSP based roms. If you need help with flashing procedure, let me know.
Hey developers,
I allways used to have HTC's, but now I have a SGS I9000. With HTC I know my way with flashing and stuff but now I got an issue. I don't know if this will brick my phone and I can't find too much information about with the search function.
So here goes, I got a hungarian I9000 from a friend, though I'm dutch. Now I want to update the phone to android 2.3 but there are no PAN (hungarian) updates available from Samsung, I tried the registry key hack with KIES but then my phone would disconnect as soon as I would start the update. Then I realised I could flash firmware with 2.3 from another compatible phone version, like the Dutch one. So I downloaded KIES and the dutch firmware but then I realised that if the firmware is not compatible with my version of the I9000 I would probably (hard/soft)brick my phone.
Also, when I put in *#272*IMEI# there is no option to choose between countries for me, which I read all over the internet there should be.
So please advice me in flashing a new stock 2.3 ROM, I really want it to be stock android
Thanks in advance :angel:
Somewhere in here is a guide for flashing stock jvu 2.3.6 with Odin it only takes 5 minutes once you have downloaded everything
