Worthwhile to upgrade to .435 ?

I'm on a debranded 2.0.2.A.0.24 right now. Its rooted, has the the multitouch drivers, the "enable in all applications" hack as well, JIT enabled, etc.
Should I bother installing the complete 2.1.A.0.435 firmware, then re-root/JIT it ?

Sure go for WB rom

I think so, they added some stuff to Mediascape, contacts, etc. It definitely is a lot smoother stock than any previous update.

[Q]Dutch XEN Official Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock rom

Hi guys. I saw on samfirmware that stock ROM CSC: I9000XENJV4 is available for download. I'm guessing this is Netherlands official GB 2.3.3 stock rom. Unfortunately if I open Kies to update my phone it says that I'm using the latest firmware (2.2.1 CSC = I9000XENJS3; I9000XWJS5).
Has anyone managed to update to GB directly using Kies to this version?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I think I9000XENJV4 is only available on samfirmware at the moment. I'm also on 2.2.x and kies doesn't show updates.

Samfirmware was wrong, see his tweet some moments later:
@SamFirmware Update KIES for Netherlands not online yet. Galaxy S.

Samfirmware shows firmware-files - i just flashed my SGS with the xen-firmware and it works like a charm... So the update may not be available through KIES but the firmware files are available from SamFirmware.com

I do not understand this Samsung policy..why Nordic countries got it months before....testing purposes or what??
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I guess so. I used the Nordic version a long time

Thank you very much for your answers. I thought it is something wrong with my phone or kies since I cannot find for that specific CSC. In this case I'll be waiting a little bit more. Anyhow, it's weird that XEN firmware isn't out for gingerbread since NEE is out for more than one month.

Now available by kies I9000XWJVH/I9000XENJV4/I9000XXJVO/I9000XWJVH

Is there any way to know what are T9 and swype languages in this rom without having to flash it?
Or any other rom for that matter?

Startup sound is not smooth on my phone but interrupted. Same with voice announcements in the Osmand navigation program. MP3s play fine though.
Had some problems with widgets. Songbird needed readding the widget after program restart.
Jorte calandar had its widget not showing. After updating some fight to get it to work with the Google calendar, but that was not 2.3.3/JVH's fault.

I'm on GT-9000 / 2.3.3 stock /I9000XXJVO/GINGERBREAD.XWJVH/ stock kernel at the moment still as well.
Used the last voodoo before on Froyo but I'm not too keen on flashing anything right now right away to root again. I'd love to get voodoo on it again (mainly because of the audio features and obviously the lagfix) however the latest voodoo kernel for gingerbread on JVH stll seems to be based on older sources then the one samsung just released from what i've read.
As soon as there is a stable Voodoo (without the word "hack" in it) for JVH, i'm flashing

At least I have 3 button combo's now working after updating to the 2.3.3 XWJVH XEN. They didn't work for me before!

Hang on that is interesting!!
Mine worked before and still do, but a friend of mine has one that didn't have the 3 button combo so im interested to see what'll happen there.
Dit yours never work or did they stop working after a custom rom?

3 button combo indeed start working after this update
I just checked mine, after reading the thread and yes I can confirm mine never worked before but after this update to 2.3.3,it started working.
That's nice.

That's because the gingerbread update contains the SBL (Secondary Boot Loader).
The sbl is responsible for the 3-button combo.

JVT (2.3.5 via KIES) What is new

What is new/different in this build? The only things I have noticed is the perpetual scrolling and blue end of page buffers. There must be more than that surely?

The only other thing I've noticed is social media integration with contacts. Details from Facebook, Twitter, Linked, Skype etc no longer show as unknown but are correctly identified.

Well, dint expected for quick official release of 2.3.5. Anyway, many of us had this long time ago.

still wifi dhcp bug is present???
currently i am on 2.3.4 JVR stock with semaphore 1.6, I don't want to take the risk as I only use wifi as my internet source

What about Phone FC in the leaked JVT, The official JVT it is said to be identical with the leaked JVT???

Wrong thread
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I don't have any wifi dhcp bug but then I never had it before.

Can it be confirmed that the version released by KIES is the same as the leaked JVT?

I have seen some changes in the official release from the leaked...for example the overscroll in tw3 launcher and in the menu...at least i think so...

blue overscroll glow

It seems to be the same. Though I can't speak for specifics.

Just updated and now cannot conenct to mass storage.
On Kies connects at times. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. No use!
Have noticed that if you connect USB to charge the phone while it's OFF the phone will switch ON. Useless Idea.

Can someone please post the official Kies ROM? I want to get back on the official upgrade paths, as I'm passing my phone on.
I'm currently on JVS with XEU installed, but I can't see this update

I have JVT from the leak. Kies says its the current version. So that should be fine!

Weird, i just flash to JVT from the file RAMAD posted. When connected to kies it mentions this version of firmware cannot be updated.

UK Note from Clove Just Updated to 2.3.6

I have just received an OTA update to 2.3.6. I have been connecting my Note to my laptop using Kies for the last few days to see if it was available that way but there was no mention of an update. So I was pleased when I did an update check using Settings on my phone and discovered one was available OTA. It is good getting OTA updates just like on the Nexus One so there is no risk of installing the wrong firmware or making a mistake using Kies.
So what difference does the update make?

received my note yesterday and had OTA 2.3.6 XXKKA also 15 megs size.
also interested to know the differences

i bought from carphonewarehouse and got OTA 2.3.6 this morning too.
ps. its stock phone with no root.

So this removes root and CWM?
Edit: apparently root and apps are not touched on this update according to the other thread about this.
Just downloaded and install failed, it said to try using kies...

Have the same. It failed to update, said to try by kies. I also have rooted stock ROM.
Maybe we should unroot ?

That may be the case, so I'll probably do this later today since it's almost 3am. I don't want to set everything up tonight.
Or we can just wait for a custom ROM that will have the update.
Edit: I don't understand though why people who are rooted in the other thread got it to work.

Thanks for the thread! I've nicely updated my phone

Also got 2.3.6 OTA today. Phone is from the Polish Plus+ telco. Seems much snappier all around. Will be interesting to see if battery life improves too. Also the stylus seems more accurate but it's hard to say...
Bring on ICS!

mine fails the wifi update. tried 3 times. my phone is rooted.
fire up kies and says that kj4 is the latest

perhaps its to do with the method you used for rooting.
iirc, there are a couple of different root methods, some of them seem to affect the tamper counter (cant think of what its really called). maybe the update is only available for those who still have the counter at 0?
dont quote me on this though, im still a nubblet on the tweaking side of android.

It seems rooting has nothing to do with it. I've rooted by the CF-Root method 2.
Maybe any other changes make the problem (theme mods ?)

I rooted my note with Chainfire's tutorial using the zergrush method and installed the new KKA kernel.
My phone downloaded this new update but failed to flash it on reboot. I think I'll just wait and see if Chainfire releases his own version or there is a rom with it built in.

KL7 Fixes everything lag related - You should flash KL7

Seriously every Note user should flash Stock or a custom rom based on this KL7
Can get stock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413120
I like many others had many issues with Lag and now my note litterally flies...!
And I haven't even put AbyssNote on it yet!!!!!
Also this KL7 fixes a bluetooth keyboard Issue I had with every previous rom. I had to mix and mash bluetooth drivers from my gtab and a sgs2 to get my bluetooth keyboard working but all resolved with KL7!!!
Am quite chuffed!

I never flashed a rom manually, how do I update my KKA firmware to this? Safest and least tampering way.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Agreed, KL7 is amazing.
No more lag anywhere, it's so fluid in everything it does now.
Even in the settings menu where it would be kinda jerky when scrolling in KL3, it's butter smooth now for example in KL7.

What's different about it to Kka, I'm on that and its smooth as already and it's android 2.3.6, isn't kl7 jut a regional version of kka?

kl7 is the latest firmware version

Basically use Odin 1.85 or mobile Odin to update.
Then apply CWM and root using the script in the CFRoot link that is also linked in the KL7 Thread.
Check the KL7 Thread for more information.

Only thing that still lags for me is phone.

This firmware is available officially via Kies for me (German Note)

What is 2.3.6 KL7? official rom? need root to do this? Couldn't we wait for 2.3.6 update from Samsung itself?

It is a German official Samsung version can be found OTA (Over The Air) or via kies if your phone has/is flashed with a DBT code of CSC.
If you flash this after that you will wait for German updates only because region code will be DBT (debitel Germany) unlocked note for Germany.

The last 2 updates were first rolled out for phones with the DBT CSC.
The latest KL7 firmware is available for phones with the German Debitel CSC.
To avail yourself of the update without using Kies, you can do an OTA(over the air) update.
Since the update is currently only available for phones set to the DBT CSC, if you change your phones CSC using this method here, you will then be able to update OTA by going to Settings > About Phone > Software update > Update. (Not all Note phones can have their CSC changed with this method)
Changing the CSC will reset your phone to factory settings.

It's getting very difficult to keep waiting for this to be rolled out! I have KJ4 and have been waiting for what seems forever. Why doesn't Samsung just do this for all devices at once?

I am currently using a hongkong offical rom.
It always lag for 2 seconds when I click the power button to activate the phone from standby mode. Does kl7 fix this issue？
Thanks!

I like everything, but Browser is mistakable zoom in.
But rom is HOT

Mine is still kind of laggy with Go launcher, tw is a no go for me, lacks to many features. I've tested with ADW and it's buttery smooth but compared to golauncher adwd lacks features as well.
