Hi what files you deleted? And you deleted them from homescreen or uninstalled in manage allocations...? Also there is a new update out for tab JK5...try installing Kies to a pc from Samsung site, connect your tab and check if it says firmware upgrade available or not...
You will need to uncheck USB debugging mode else Kies wont detect your tab...

With JPM, Kies wouldnt update to JP2.... So i took it to service center with JPM inside, asked them to flash JP2 and they did it....

Kies flashing failed
I was trying to upgrade using kies and the flashing stuck mid way and my phone wont boot now. I tried multiple times to flash using the firmware emergency recovery built in kies but it gets stuck at the same point always (39%).
Any one faced this problem? I am downloading odin files and will try. Let me know if I shouldnt try with odin and rather take the phone to the service center.

flashing with Idiot Kies is very problematic specially if you have win 7 on your pc....I just flashed with Odin...its the better way...
Thanks to all Friends who helped me

new firmware GT-N7000 N7000ZSLA2 out !

Model PDA Version Date CSC Country/Carrier Download link Kies

Anyone tried ?

Using it. Same as updates as LA4 if nothing more. Only problem is the torch widget. It doesnt work like the one on LA4 where it has 3 different brightness of the light.... All 3 tier of the brightness is the same on mine. But that could be cause by the speedmod kernel i am using

this is caused by kernel, yes! the 3 steps only work on original samsung kernels!

Is it a wipe rom?

no it is not.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using Tapatalk

the "new text memo" and "new drawing memo" buttons of S Memo look different now. anybody knows what's changed?

On my Austrian Note (ATO), it has very old software (XXKKA from November). And both OTA and Kies updates says no updates available.
What do I do? Reset and change sales country code to German for example, which is known to be getting updates (in that case what number is best for latest updates)?
Or should I forget about official update process and download and install it manually? (in this case where is good source to download it? Also is it Odin software that I will need to update?)
Thank you.

Kies always has problem. it's like a girl on he rperiod, u never know when th eupdates gonna pop. just go to the dev section there should be a sticky on official roms and instruction to flash it. Recomend mobile odin. Never have to worry about root again and it doesnt jack up you binary counter. Do pay attention if the rom is wipe or none wipe tho, just in case u want to sav your data.

I'm unable to update to LA2 from KK1 via OTA. Tried several times with or without ext SD card, rooted/unrooted through CWM, energy saving mode on or off etc. everytime fails at 10%.
My Note is rooted using Zergrush exploit explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
All root apps work so I got the right KK1 Kernel.
Anyone else having this issue? I understand using Kies will break my root so what other method can I use to update to HK's LA2 without loosing root?
For what it's worth... my Note being on KK1 is really fast ... if it ain't broke... what benefits would I have running at LA2?
Any ideas?

upgrade with kies, then root it again.
other method will wipe every apps and data. such ad odin.

From my experience it is just boot into recovery mode (samsung), then select root.zip from sdcard. More or less the same method. CWM kind of out dated.
I did this kind of root for Samsung ACE, galaxy tab etc, surely can do so for note. Maybe needing old keneral as intermid steps. Like S2 etc.
No worrys 無問提*^_^*

For the Hong Kong People, the only way to upgrade and keep root, is to use Mobile Odin. Explained in the sticky in the Dev Section.
If you need to download the firmware, there is a hotfile link in the sticky, or alternately google Checkfus, and download version 2.1 for PC. Run it, select android, select GT-N7000, and then Hong Kong, and download. (Or any other if you want them)
Move it to your device and flash via mobile odin.

exactly! did just that... installed / bought Odin Mobile Pro, downloaded the latest ROM and flashed. Got LA2 now and still have root

you can now use the black wallpaper as lockscreen without the banding.

I was on XXLA4, I then flash to ZSLA2 using mobile odin. While Applying multi-csc it said couldn't access /system/*/XEU/* folder.
It then went into manual mode and I chose reboot. Everything looks fine except when I check the version using *#1234#, the CSC is unknown.
Flashed back to XXLA4 and got the same error. Again everything seems fine, phone came back up but *#1234# list CSC as unknown. Anyone seen this before?
Thanks

Yes, Iv'e had this when coming from another CSC.
Usually once I flash back to stock TGY firmware, I boot into android, then set up skipping the google services, and reboot into recovery and it corrects itself. I.e. This with stock firmware / kernel.
The last time i did this, flashed an update using mobile odin, and the csc files refused to apply, so I extracted the CSC zip and flashed manually in recovery. All was well then, and I could choose TGY again.

Yep. Same issue here. Updated via mobile Odin pro and CSC is unknown.
Can you provide a link where to download /get the CSC zip for TGY?
What option or menu did you use in recovery mode?

I extracted it. Will post here, as it needed to be changed to ext4 format etc.. Blah blah blah. Give me 5 mins .
EDIT: 5 minutes up, here it is. Just flash in recovery, then your CSC should be fine. May need to change it, and remember when you do, it WILL WIPE YOUR DATA!
THIS IS THE TGY CSC FILE FROM LA2 ROM.

I just realize that we may not need to worry about the CSC not showing under *#1234# as apparently it is still there...
Have a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124900
There is a short code *#272*IMEI# to check your sales code, in our case TGY for Hong Kong.
Also when rooted you can navigate to /efs/imei/ then look for the file "mps_code.dat" and open as text with a text editor. this is where you would change the CSC code if you wish to change to other region.
That also shows the Note still has it's original CSC code.
Anyway, saves me the hassle of wiping the whole phone and restoring all apps and content all over again.
I understand that if you want to keep root in future FW updates it's better to flash them with Odin Mobile Pro rather than Kies / Odin / OTA which will remove root.
Just my 2 cents

[Q] can i convert kies firmware without any file extention to odin flashable??

i have problem updating my gt-i9505 with kies.. after downloading firmware kieas brings the phone to download mode, then says pc failed to recognise mobile phone. but i could copy the downloaded ROM from C:\Users\TOSHIBA\AppData\Local\Temp\Binary\GT-I9505\XST\XX. Can i make this file odin flashable? file has no extention.. what can I do? somebody please help

Doubt it. You could always save yourself grief & just download it from Samfirmware. They have all the newer firmwares up & available on Terra now.

Why is 5.1.1 rom always "corrupt" ?

Hey guys, sorry I have been away for so long and am not updated... anyway, I have been downloading different 5.1.1 roms (samfirmware and sam updates) for my N910C and everytime I try to unzip, it says the file is corrupt...
Can anybody please tell me what has changed? Whay can't I unzip the downloaded files?
I only want the official rom, and am not rooting my phone for now.

I recommend using Samfirm

thanks for the recommendation. My question has not been answered though, what has changed, and why do we need to use another tool now? Thanks

If you want to know the changelog for stock 5.1.1 then I strongly recommend you read it. Google is your best friend. What are you talking about another tool?
There is only one tool for Samsung to flash stock roms and it's called odin so nothing has changed there. If you are using kies to upgrade then expect the worst as the outcome seems like random events. 25% of the time kies ****s up.

I am not asking about changelog, I am asking why are the downloads from samfirmware and samsung-updates , when I try to unzip them are all corrupt.. then someone recommended the tool above to download the firmware... that is why I am asking what is changed, and why do I need a tool to download the firmware now??? Whay can't I just download straight from samfirmware and unzip the file like it was before?
BIG thanks

I had the same problem, the zip file corrupted while trying to unzip. But I just waited until WinRAR finish unzipped it. And successfully flashed the md5 with Odin.

I had the same problem with Winrar.
With 7zip no problem.
And I install the new Rom.
Everything is Ok.

No problem with WinRar here. Check your Internet Connection: if it's unstable, the file will be downloaded and even MD5 hashes could match, but the file still will be corrupted and if you manage to unzip it it could lead to multiple errors in odin.

Thanks to those who tried to help... I donwloaded the new WinRAR and donloaded the 5.1.1 "SEE" and flashed it on my phone... worked perfectly and I have not wiped my phone after flashing, seems to be working great...
