Hello all,
During my travels in China, I picked up a GT-I9228G galaxy note.
Back in the UK now, and hoping I could change the rom to the english varient of GT-N7000? I am assuming GT-I9228G and GT-N7000 is the same device, just different regional roms(?).
The boot screen is chinese. It has chinese apps on it which I cant remove and no app store amongst other things. Ideally, would like to make the phone all english. Is this possible?
Just a bit of background on me:
I used to own a HTC PDA which I swap roms from developers here and very familair with jail breaking on apple products. Andriod however is new to me. I am a quick learner, so any pointers would be great please guys/gals.

I guess you could... Lots of other people bought their galaxy note from Hong Kong and also from china and they all changed their ROM for a same reason of yours.
Does not the 9220 using a snapdragons and not exynos? I not sure but I thing I have read it somewhere so carefully before flashing.

So, potentially I could just change to the one below?
N7000XXKKA ## 2.3.6 2011 November N7000CPWKK3 United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) Download
The box says 1.4 + <insert chinese characters here>
From wiki -A dual-core 1.4Ghz Exynos processor or a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor (AT&T, SK Telecom, KT, LG U+)
So my guess is Exynos. Anyway to double check?
ok, so I have downloaded the above rom and Odin3 v1.83 from sammobile.
I have opened Odin3 and specified the PIT file (Q1_20110914_16GB)
I have also ticket re-partition, auto reboot and F.reset timer.
I have loaded the rom under PDA (N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar), everything else is unticked.
I have the phone in download mode ready.
I just need to know if the above is ok or am I missing anything before I click START and brick my phone?
Thanks,
Chris.
well I tried anyway.
That didnt work.
Now the phone says "software update fail"
I can still get into download mode, buts thats about it.
tried with and without the PIT file.
Anyone know what I should do now please?
I'd say you'll have to find a rom for that model
maybe http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9220&r=2#regiona
You might have bricked your phone by checking repartition in odin. You should not have. Now you probably need to find a pit file for your model.

If you could enter download mode then try these steps
1. Open Odin and flash Pit file only and Re-partition ticked. (do not attach any ROM)
2. After this again flash ROM without pit file and re-partition un-ticked
This should work.

Thanks,
The first part seemed to work ok, so then went onto flashing again without the PIT file. Failed
Back to square one (software update fail message).
Going to try the original ROM, but takes about 6 hours to download from china!.
Ideally, really dont want to use the original ROM though! I'm guessing the original ROM isnt going to work now anyway since ODIN3 has re-partitioned the device(?).

god, you can't flash n7000 roms on the china note, you will surely brick your phone and good luck.

You're wrong. Several have tried and it's working perfectly with n7000 roms on i9220 phones.

I am also doing this on a macbook via Boot camp (windows partion). Maybe it has a problem with that. Will try it on a normal PC too.
Any other suggestions before I head home from work and play later?
Oh, I forgot to mention. I read somewhere (forgot where) that I should root the device prior to changing the ROM. Is that true? If so, I dont think thats something I can do in current state

you can try flashing kernel with CWM in PC Odin, then flash any Custom ROM using CWM Recovery.

CWM is clockworkmod right? Dont I need a rooted phone in order to install it?
Or do I follow something like this? http://whatareandroidphones.net/root-samsung-galaxy-note.html
Yes... CWM recovery doesn't need root.
hello,
Didnt have the time to work out CWM, but was given a link to another rom which had three files for ODIN3 (http://hotfile.com/dl/149302861/1896440/N7000XXLA6_N7000XEULA1_XEU.rar.html).
So, loaded the above and the phone is back in action on a N7000 rom. Wohoo. Just glad it's working again more then anything else lol!
This rom is prerooted apparently too. know idea what I should be able to do now. What does one usually do when they have a rooted device?

problem is i check for ics update regularly but it says no software update
but everyone has got there n7000 updated to ics
i havent rooted it nor plan to what should i do....is there a problem with my phone???
p.s:i live in Pakistan.....
Check your csc, then you will see ics is not out for your phone yet.
Dial *#06# that will show hour emei. Write it down, then dial *#272*yourimeinumberhere# that will show your csc, you can change it here, it will wipe your data thought.
Dependant on your rom, you will be able to change it. Then it is still no guarantee update is available thought kies or ota. You can then download rom from sammobile.com. Notice thought all current ics have bug for note, that when you do a factory reset, wipe data or wipe from cwm can brick your phone. So judge if its worth the risk. If I were you I would wait or download cm9, they build a kernel without the bug. Note thought either way you can get warrantee issues

There are stock multicsc. Without root you can flash it throught pc odin. Then you can update after changing csc or flash the rom you want emediately
All at own risk

patience people, just follow what the dude above said. I am from the Philippines but my csc is from Poland (xeo).
same issue
I am also from Pakistan. The note that I bought is an Arabian distribution with jpla1 ROM. I am also not receiving the update. Though I got the previous update via it's from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6. What do we do now what do we do???

See my post above, only thing you can do is wait for csc arabian ics, or change csc.
Reposted steps, you will lose data.
Download stock gb rom from country which has csc and ics. Flash it throught pc odin. Perform factory reset from dialer. Change csc with steps I posted before. To make sure right one is selected.
Then update throught kies or if available ota. If no update is available, screw it and download ics rom, flash through pc odin, do not select repartition if you dont have pit file. Do not select clear efs.
Extra info:
I cs or gb rom stock roms, unzip them, should be single tar. Md5 file. In pc odin put these in pda. For flashing phone needs to be in download mode. Press volume down, power and home button simultaniously and keep pressed when phone is booting. Then when it shows download mode connect to pc and open odin. Sometimes takes couple tries press volume button up to confirm dowload mode. Now you can start
Flashing. It takes some time, do not disconnect phone. Wait till odin says passed.
Now you have lost warrantee, all at own risk, but upside you could have working ics. Note do not restore backups as they will most likely cause battery drain and errors.
Do not ever perform reset or factory reset from ics, with any app, not even samsung cause it could brick your phone.

I am wondering if you update using OTA or kies? This ics needs to be updated using kies pc to phone using usb cable.

if u are using phone update~u will get no update for ics~pls use kies on pc to update your note to ics,this is working
Guys, Im sorry you find rooting and such hard.
I installed ICS and I love it. Its very nice and havent found anything wrong with it.
Now, this method I am going to show you will put ICS ontop of your Gingerbread, so you will keep your settings, apps and other things. Its easy and only a few things to do, so, lets get started:
Download the ICS rom (hong kong): HERE
Then copy it to your phone
Now for rooting:
Download the Files first and put in your SDCARD CWM, SU-BusyBox
Reboot to recovery (hold vol up, power and home)
Choose and apply the CWM update.
Then do the same with SU.
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
You are now rooted.
Reboot.
Download and install Mobile Odin.
After installing this, open it and grant it superuser permissions.
Scroll down to open file, select your file and press ok.
Select inject enable everroot, and everything below it, then press flash firmware.
Do a MD5 check if you wish (dont have to, but it is best).
Then after 2-3mins, it should install and reboot.
After reboot, it will take ~5mins to startup as the applications need to be altered for ICS.
So, hopefully, you did that right and now you have ICS!
(Credit for these files go to dr.ketan)

How did you do that ? My CSC code shows its from Poland. Will changing the CSC code to Germany will make it get the update ?
Or if there is any other way please do tell.
Actually flashing a ROM is not that difficult. Just follow what the senior member's post. Follow step by step and you will lead to success. Try few more times and you will be used to it. Don't worry about the binary count as we can reset the binary count using Triangle away and binary reset.
I flash my SGN more than 15 times, keep flashing till I get the fastest ROM I wanted. From GB, German ICS, CM9, Rocket ROM, Criskelo, Litening ROM..
Now I stick to KingDriod. This ROM is damn fast.. Can give it a try..
Cheers..
No need to apply roms

hi everyone,
can anyone guide me to the steps to go back to the stock firmware of samsung galaxy s. because i need to covert it to original rom for some reason. currently on latest miui v4 i9000 release.
appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks..
You can go to this site samobile and donwload youre stock rom of your regiong. Then you must use odin te make it. If you want the link i can pm you for it.
Wow. You posted this question in 3 different posts
1. Go to www.samfirmware.com
2. Register if you aren't registered yet
3. Go to the "Firmwares" page select "Smartphone" > "Android" > "GT-i9000" > Region (Europe/Asia.....) and find the version you want to install (2.2 / 2.3.x) and download it
2. Follow their guide to flashing stock rom to i9000 (available on their website on "Flashguide")
3. ???
4. Profit
Next time ask a question and wait... 3 posts for the same stuff is awesome, but not on theses forums :good: :good:
ohh and btw... flashing to stock involves you wiping ALL you data from the phone so back it up before hand
thanks..
Don't use the flash guide, put the homebinary.tar in PDA and flash away . Did it yesterday on mine about 6 times lol.

I accidently updated an unrooted Samsung stock ROM that shipped with the phone with cyanogen_mod
_7_tass in my attempt to root my Samsung Galaxy mini s5570 using update.zip method.
I had intended to used the "update.zip" method to root the device. But the ROM MOD instead, sadly had also been "update.zip".There was a mix up of the two files.Theres unfortunately no Clockworkmod Recovery installed. (I was quite aware of this possibility if things were to go wrong.).
My Device runs on Froyo and now is in a bootloop.
I just only want to find out if there is the slimest chance of having my device back in shape again.
Thanks a bunch in advance !
I will be happy to hear theres some hope.

You must reinstall again stock rom (programs needed: Odin,tass.ops and drivers for galaxy mini s5570). On xda you'll find step by step reverting back to stock rom your galaxy mini. Btw read carefully every step to understand those things and after you can practice. Check general section for Odin and installing stock rom.
Press thanks if helped you
am downloading .. s5570 galaxy mini firmware--- is that the same thing as stock ROM?

After a whole day of no-work and goofing around the web yesterday i figured out somthing similar but just wasnt sure ...felt i needed to search some more. then your quote dropped in my inbox. Its made a lot of my confusion clear. I have tass, odin and ops. all the programs need already. At first i could access the stock rovery mode, but using odin again to try and get Clockworkmod made matters worse. I have with a bootloop and no where close to the recover mod any more just downloading mode. So I've kept reading and reading on to find out something useful. I guess that may be the sure way getting stock rom installed back.
Now i am just downloading .. s5570 galaxy mini firmware--- is that the same thing as stock ROM?
That's it man...Official firmware is called the stock rom...
