I'm in the UK. I keep reading about updates for the galaxy note and a little confused, sorry.
Can somebody tell me if there is an samsung stock update for this phone.
I connect to kies and I'm told that it is not recognised by kies for a update via kies.
Ota just fires back no updates available.
My current software is still at android 2.3.5 baseband version n7000xxkj4.
Thanks.

Is that your default, un rooted, un changed OS?
Yes, straight out of the box. No rooting etc.

Update-I have just read about changing the code from KOR to XEU which i did.
It then notified me of an update, it will download the update package but not install.
Any ideas.

I changed to DBT still no joy ota, so I tried via kies then it updated to 2.3.6.

Just to say that this worked for me too on a UK Handtec Note (polish) that shipped with the CSC set to KOR.
XEU, XEO did not allow the downloaded update to be applied and it refused to update via kies 'not supported' message.
CSC Set to DBT still did not allow OTA update, but finally the ruddy thing did update through Kies.
For anyone not getting updates (2.3.6, LA4 etc) on their Note, **check the CSC** if it is set to KOR, you will never ever ever get updates for your Note including ICS when it eventually ships.
You can check the CSC easily. Connect the phone to Kies, and the country code (KOR,XEU,DBT etc) is in brackets at the end of the 'Current Firmware Version' line under 'Firmware Information' in Kies.
This whole setup is ridiculous, I have had a moan at Handtec, since they have shipped devices that for any non geeky user (the 99% of folks out there) will never get the latest firmware, and will be forever stuck on Gingerbread.

I also have not gotten update for this reason. Could you please explain how you changed the code from KOR to XEU I can't seem to find how. I have a stock unrooted phone from handtec.
Well I found it!!!
How to change CSC
1. Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad.
2. Select the CSC that you want.
3. Click Install.
4. Phone will be rebooted by itself.
5. That’s all.
You need to chose XEU for europe/UK
Note: This will wipe all your data so back up first
Make sure to type# after you put in the *#272*imie.

Well I thought it worked but not completely. I did get the phone to show up as a XEU insted of KOR but when the phone started the firmware update it stiops about halfway and gives me this error message "try using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service center" Tried Kies still says no firmware update available. Can anyone help with this? Thank's

Since my Tab is no longer syncing with Kies anymore, and I'am no longer willing to reinstall Kies everytime I reboot my laptop( i've played that with my Sgs long enough-ok one week before discovering odin), I would like to know if there's a possibility of getting an OTA firmware update for a unbranded DBT tab or do I have to flash them the odin way and loose warranty? (no need to root my tab at the time and I'am getting sick flashing and rooting my sgs twice a month) never ever receiven an OTA update for any of my galaxy devices so I'am actualy asking if the tab updates are going to be distributed OTA or only via Kies.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
As far as i know there hasn't been a OTA update for the european 3G device, so i'm not waiting anymore. I flash updates with Odin. If you flash only official firmware, i don't see how this breaks your warranty.
Ok thanks for the info, so its back to odin for one more device. At least that way i can' thing of a single reason not to root. Guess with an DBT Tab, even outside Germany we won't get any support anyway after the Apple fiasco. So DBT sales code bye bye, EUR here I come flashin' again.

Hi, I have baseband kg7 build number kg9. Is there any updates which i can via odin install please? if yes any link where to find? I am on a 10.1wifi 3G. ..... What a great tab! The apple ipad 2 seems 20 years old. .... i understand now why Apple, so jealous and scared of Samsung, suied and stopped the sale in several coutries of this outstanding tab....lol
Same version over here. Sameone as bought. Haven't found a newer one yet. Are you able to connect with Kies or over Kies Air? Gettin always no device found. Had the same problem with my sgs with froyo, after an upgrade everything worked. My SGS is connecting without a problem.

I really hope they will give us something new. Like GTalk 2 with video support
I got the new Kies on Monday. In my experience that sometimes predates an Android update, which was promised for the end of September.
If you guys aren't using Odin, you may want to give it a try.
Once I learned about how to use Odin, I couldn't go back to Kies ever again...

I've used Odin and tried all the custom ROMs. I decided I prefer to keep it stock. Waiting for OTA updates to kick in though...
I am in Serbia and I got the same update, but no ginger yet.. I don't want to do it myself because of the warranty,so I'm waiting for couple of months now..

I'm on stock currently myself. You don't need Odin for custom ROMs, there's plenty of stock already on samfirmware.com.
Kies already bricked my i9000m twice using Samsung official firmware. Samsung's response was that the firmware wasn't available for my area yet. I told them that Kies gave me the green light, and their response was still the FW wasn't approved yet. That was a PITA to get resolved.
Samfirmware.com has firmwares (including stock) that many have tried, and Odin takes the tedious waiting out too. Between waiting and 2 bricked phones from Kies, I am done with Kies forever!...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Hmm, Samfirmwares may be stock but not necessarily official releases. I don't trust Kies although I've never had a really bad experience using it. I just want OTA updates like I used to have on my Nokia 4 years ago!

There's a few that are 100% official. The rest are stock waiting for carriers to chop them up.
Honestly the only thing that you are waiting for is carrier bloatware.
BTW I used to be a Nokia e71/72 user myself...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Luckily mine is carrier-free. Discerning the "final official" roms and installing them whilst retaining my current set up is what concerns me. Like I said, petitioning for OTA updates.
It would be best to work like google chrome browser auto update. It downloads the update, and next time you start it it installs. No questions asked... no time wasted... Always the newest firmware. OTA of course. It could work on android. Downloads update, waits for restart. When restarted if battery >60% installs. Piece of cake...

Now I'm on JVS STOCK+ v1.5 and with this new Kies version , when I plug the phone and open the Kies, the message displayed is:

Kies works ok but this message didn't apears in the old Kies version.
Lol
Samfireware.com does carry stock Samsung roms (it is not an official Samsung site) and they aren't official releases.
I have the 2.3.5 update from there and it is noticably quicker that the official 2.3.3. That being said kies detects the new version and says that its not official and that the upgrade service is not available for non-official versions. If samsung release an official update I might flash back to and older version then update through kies if I really had to which is no drama.

I noticed today the UK Samsung site has full instructions for OTA updates, which they call FOTA, for Firmware Over The Air.
The instructions were posted just after the last official update in August. Hopefully a sign that OTA is on the way.

Guys, i need some help/tips about updating my Firmware. I have a samsumsung GT-I9000 with Android 2.2 (Froyo). I know that there is a newer version (2.3 or so).
I downloaded Samsung Kies but on the general information screen it doesn´t give me the option to update the firmware version, it is only showing me my firmware version (not the latest version available, neither the chance of updaiting it).
I have tryed to install the Kies in differents PCs and I had the same issue.
My GF has a Samsung 5500 (Samsung Galaxy Europe) with Android 2.1, and we had the same problem trying to (or not having the chance to) update the firmware.
My first option is to try with Kies as it is an official source (I don´t want to have troubles with the warranty), but if it is not possible let me know any other way to update our phones.
I will really appreciate any help.
Cheers,
It sounds as if your SGS is tied to a carrier, in which case you are dependent on them for their version of the upgrade.
I would contact them first. If you get no joy there your only option is to "unlock" the phone from that carrier, thus enabling Kies to give you the generic upgrade.
This is what I did. I was locked to o2, here in the UK. Upon unlocking I get the latest generic update via Kies as soon as it becomes available, which is months before o2.
Hi this should be a general thread about updating Note via Kies. Let us write here all problem and solutions.
My problem is the following. I open Kies connect my phone and the press update firmware. Then Kies download the firmware. After that kies disconects and freeze!.

Where do you press update firmware. In kies air or on the phone. On the phone I can only find Software update.

Well, if he is able to download the firmware, his prob has nothing to do with CSC. If his prob was CSC, he wouldn't be able to download it because Kies would show a message stating his device was not elegible for official updates.

Will it undo my CF Auto root, that's what I want to know. And if it does, what methods of re-rooting are known to work?
Hi All,
Kies was not succesful so I updated last night from sammobile,
In the first day I was dissapointed with battery life.
I will try to factory reset tonight to check if it will improve.
What is your experience?

hi, im really having problems updating my samsung note 2 lte (n7105)
1st, i tried via kies, it keepson saying " 'gt-n7105' does not support initialising ".
ive tried the debugging mode but i cant find the "application" option in the settings, i only have the "application manager" and it doesn't show the "development" option nor any debugging mode option
2nd i tried the OTA method but 2 days in a row it keeps on saying "access to software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it"
can you help me out guys? i have my note 2 on 4.1.1
Does the new versions of stock remove root and custom recovery? (i made with toolkit).
With new stock firm, I must use toolkit to do everything again?
many thanks
