Ics upgrade question (changing region csc)

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

[Q] I'm confused

Hi guys, i've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 and I'm a little confused. My previous phone was a Galaxy Ace S5830i, I had that phone rooted (but it was too easy, just flash a .zip file) and with a custom rom.
So I have some questions:
1) For now I just want to root my new phone but the methods that I found here are not too clear to me. I first saw this method, but my firmware is not there. My phone came with I9070UBLI1 (2.3.6 GB). So i can't root my phone? my kernel isn't even in sammobile.com/firmwares
2) I want to make a backup just in case before rooting, so, what recovery should I use with this phone? cwm? this? or which one?
3) What is "binary counter"? In galaxy ace that wasn't present.
4) I saw that in samsungfirmwares site there are some 4.1.2 kernels, but they are for Rusia. I'm from Chile. So can I flash the russian kernel? will I loose my signal, 3G or something? Do you recommend upgrade to JB? with stock russian or a custom rom?
5) Do you recommend a custom kernel? which one? This looks nice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you can help me with those questions (numering your answers just like i did with my questions), I just want to enjoy a lot my new phone. :good:

I read the forums, but I'm still confused, for example, for rooting, in the thread that I linked in 1) there isn't the firmware that came with my phone, so I went to here, there isn't neither, then I read this post, but to do that I need dowload my phone's firmware, but the one that came with my phone there isn't in samsungfirmares web page, so I suppose I can flash anyone for Chile (my country), there are 2, but idk if they will work, so, if I'm going to take that risk I need to make a backup first, but idk what recovery I should use.
I have a mental bootloop

I bought my phone in January.
Then became member of xda in january.
Flashed russian jb all releases as they released in February.
Rooted my phone in same month.
Started using kernels in same month.
Started tweaking in same month.
And now i am really happy with my phone's performance.
As i was new to android and xda i have done all this because i was not worried about my warranty.
In short, go ahead don't think so much.

Custom firmware after cf auto root (SHV-E210S)

Hello everyone,
I am a bit of a newbie concerning android. I've just bought a galaxy s3 (SHV-E210S) in S. Korea.
I've found a great topic about how to root my phone but I still have a big question to which i didn't find any answer yet :
once I have rooted my phone using the CF-Auto root method (which is described as the easiest method to root), what do I need to do to install a custom firmware?
Thanks for your help and have a great day!

You read and follow the instructions for the custom firmware you choose .
It would pay you to read the faqs and guides before blundering into trouble .

Thanks for your answer.
What i meant is can I install a custom firmware directly after having rooted with the CF-Auto Root method or do I need to install a custom recovery too?

CF Auto-Root doesn't include custom recovery so you need to install it separately or use MobileOdin Pro instead.

CF Auto Root for Galaxy S3 SHV E210S
Hello All,
I need to root (just root) my Galaxy S3 SHV E210S which runs on KSJMF1 (Samsung Official Firmware)
Can i use the CF-Auto root from this link ?
download.chainfire.eu/273/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-c1skt-c1skt-shve210s.zip
Also, Does the same CF-Auto-Root can be used to root all firmwares of SHV E210S (Say, KSJLL6) ?
Pl clarify.
Thanks.

If you want the custom Rom as zip ( such as CM10.1 ) . you must have the custom recovery first .

i got a question about flashing my S3-E210S is running on stock rom and is locked. i downloaded the official Samsung E210S firmware latest update for Samsung and planning to flash my S3-E210S with it. my question is, can i use odin v3.04 in flashing the official stock firmware? Or i still have to root the phone?
Problems: S3-E210S
* Can't use camera "Security Policy restricts the use of Camera"
* Cannot Use Bluetooth also restricted
* cannot mount memory card also restricted.
Files i got:
1. SKT-E210SKSJMF1-20130604110212
2. Odin v3.04
My S3-E210 about info:
Model Number: SHV-E210S
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: E210SKSMD2
Anyone can answer though...

You need to reed the basics first .
Root has nothing to do with stock rom flashing .
Standard stock rom is via Odin .

So, where can I get working recovery tool for my Galaxy S3 LTE E210S? It's running with kitkat 4.4.4. Do a favor for me!

[Q] Just got my S3 need help!

Hey guys has anyone got a definitive root working yet, i just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 4G i9305T on a VODAFONE (Australian) plan. I was wondering what guides i should use to root my device like for example theres some good ones like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967124
Which looks like a good one but people have stated that the recovery rom is abit outdated but the guide is still good.
Can someone recommended a replace recovery rom

How to install Stock on S5 Active (G900A)?

Hello Guys,
the story is: i've just bought Galaxy S5 Active with some custom ROM installed (TMS5), rooted.
the version is 5.0: the kies is showing info like: G900FXXU1BOC7/G900AATT3BOC4/G870AUCU1BOC5/G900FXXU1BOC7 (ATT)
the problem: i'd really like to have stock firmware on this one? Can You please tell me what are the options for me?
Thanks,
Jazzhoo
Update:
Guys, for anyone that is thinking about unrooting or installing the newest software through OTA.. i'll give You an advice.. don't!
some time has passed since i bought S5A with TMS5 3.0 custom soft, i wanted to unroot and install stock. thankfully i've found no way to do so.
i'm really happy to have root/custom so i can personalize my phone as i want! and i don't need to use crappy unrooted stock!
peace guys!
