Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.
If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.
Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update
But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!
Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.

hey guys, i bought my sgs a month back in singapore and the screen jus gets ppl drooling over it. My current firmware version is i9000dxjf4, and Kies mentions this as the latest firmware but samsung-firmware.webs.com shows that there are three other updates after i9000dxjf4 for the asian region. Is it safe for me to download and update the latest firmware from that website inspite of kies confirming that i'm having the latest firmware. Could u also check out that site its quite cool.
Thanks for your replies....
Kies won't show updated firmware as the Samsung Firmware releases are not official. You can by all means download and install, but they are unsupported and there are risks if you don't do it correctly! Most of us here have flashed new firmwares just fine though.
i was also wondering , i'm in asia so should i install asia specific firmware update or can i download european firmware update. I see that europeans get firmware updates frequently than the asians??

thanks man my problem got solved.....it was informative....
So, did you download the latest firmware from the Samsung site or went ahead to use one of the custom firmware? Would like to hear if some of the problems that we had been experiencing went away after your upgrade (e.g., GPS, lags, 3G/Wifi switch, etc).
I assume upgrading to the firmware from Samsung does not require rooting. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll try to stay unrooted for warranty reason.
Cheers.

Care to elaborate?
BTW, OP, I tried searching for the firmware on Samsung website but don't seems to be able to find it. Can you provide link for the mentioned firmware?
This morning connected my Galaxy Tab to KIES and it prompted that there is an update !!
it took ages to download its binary files then finally after it got done, it gave me a decryption error !!
I have changed my sales code to gain access to market, could this be the problem or do i redownload the files !!
Isn't there a way to UPGRADE fw via OTA? or placing update.zip in root of sd nd flashing from recovery? (similar to HTC devices)
how do I upgrade to the latest version? help please
Cheers
Jackie
PS: Please find attached the firmware code : current and new !
Are you UK based Jackie? Just guessing as you said cheers! I've seen nothing this morning though have read there was an Android Market update which I had already downloaded and applied, maybe why I'm seeing no update.
no I'm based in UAE !! that's just teh way I speak !!
Ah right, nice to read it all the same, Cheers!
so anyone has any idea?
Jackie,
I don't bother with Kies.... It put my SGS in a right mess and couldn't be used until I sorted it out with another ROM and a different PC software upgrader by the name of Odin.
Your best bet is to go on over to samfirmware.com and check out the latest ROM's available.
I'm sending you also a link which although was written for the SGS and Froyo it's still relevant for ROM files for the Tab and how to use Odin.

First, what ROM version do you currently have installed?
Next, look at the list of ROM's available see here.
You need to find out if you are on a European, Asian, Arabic, etc ROM and decide if you want to stay on that list or opt to another nation list.
For European lists JMA is the latest. There's a topic on JMA here.
PDA: P1000JPJJ2
Phone: P1000JXJJ1
CSC: P1000OJPJJ3
is what is being reported on *#1234# and samfirmware says this is the Arabic firmware and the latest for Arabic is P1000JVJL1 December 2010, not that I'm interested in any of the region specific apps - just wondering what has been fixed in these firmwares and also if flashing would delete all my data (I'm guessing it would)
I don't mind flashing a European firmware too, so which would be best?
PS: Tab is currently rooted with OCLF set ! =)
Cheers
Hi may i ask if you do firmware update does the tab have to be sim free not lock to a network as im on t-mobile uk, i dont want to brick my tab

It should not delete any data.
The browser and camera have been improved.
The browser now scrolls smoother.
The camera focus's much better.
No idea what other improvements have been made.
It does not really matter which firmware you wish to use BUT bear in mind a number of users who have performed a lagfix have had issues in upgrading the ROM.
You MUST ensure you remove any lagfix applied otherwise you stand a good chance in bricking the phone.
Also, ensure you have access to the Recovery and download mode.
You will need this if you 'brick' the phone.

You need someone who is on a T-Mobile locked phone to answer this. I have heard of users on carrier networks who have run into issues.
Basically, unless you have a sound knowledge in what you are doing I would not attempt it until you get good solid advice.
seems like a long procedure, I'll hold off until i'm done with my exams....
also should I try KIES again? just in case ?? o.0

Got a similar problem... info says its P1000XXJID, valid euro firmware... Bought the tab in Hungary (Middle of europe), carrier free, and after looking at samfirmware.com's ROM list I was wondering about the updates.
Kies tells me this version can't be updated...
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Many, Many of us here in UK are having problems and are unsuccessful when trying to update/upgrade using Kies.
Hopefully Kies will get fixed properly to allow us all to use it.

Hi to all,
I'd like to revert my rom to an official one (froyo 2.2.1) and let kies update to the latest revision.
I founded tutorials on how to flash the rom, I now need the correct official rom for my GT I9000 so kies will recognize it and permit updates.
the product code is:
GT-I9000HKDEUR
actual firmware is:
PDA : I9000RSJP5
PHONE : I9000XJPP
CSC : I9000ITVJP3
I do not remember the original firmware letter codes so I need to reconstruct it; as I can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14273114&postcount=2
as I can see there I think I can flash with:
XWJSD/XXJPY/OXXJS6/Sbl
XWJS8/XXJPY/OXXJS5
XWJS5/XXJPY/OXXJS4
Can somebody point me to the correct one?

I mean since you want to downgrade to your original firmware you have to tell us in which country you live in you know there are different firmwares for different regions. there is no 'europe' version as such.

No, unfortunately everyone above is mistaken. Your phone is Greek, (EUR is Greece, not Europe, as you might think). And more bad news for you, there is no 2.2.1 firmware for Greece, Samsung never released it. They are waiting for 2.3.3 any day now, however. The official firmware for your phone is XWJPH, 2.2. I will post a link when I get to my pc...

EDIT: Here you are... http://www.multiupload.com/AS2RWUE64Z. Wipe your phone with a factory reset, then flash this on top with Odin without repartition. You will then have the official version for your phone.
I'm not sure why you would want to do that, however...

as far as i understood he just wants to get gingerbread via kies. and if he is in italy, the product code doesnt matter at all, only thing that matters is his previous firmware. and with js8 he should get an offer from kies for gingerbread as it is officially available for italy. http://asf-mobiles.com/2011/06/samsung-releases-android-gingerbread-italy-for-galaxy-s/

Yes, unfortunately I do have to correct you, sorry, you are wrong
Kies will not recognise the JS8 firmware because the italian rom will not match his greek product code. If he puts JS8 on, Kies will just tell him that "This firmware cannot be updated".
The only solution, if the OP's problem is staying under warranty and using Kies, is to flash the firmware that corresponds to his product code, which is the one I provided above.
Anything else will involve messing with the /efs folder to completely change the product code, but there is no point in doing that, as the IMEI of the phone will still betray its origins.
Actually I personally don't see the point in going back to an old Froyo build just to be able to upgrade via Kies, when Odin will give you the exact same result, and you can actually flash a newer and better ROM, which has not been given to Greece by Samsung, for whatever reason.
But in order to properly use Kies to officially upgrade, my previous post stands
-----
Of course, if you don't care about where the phone came from and all that warranty stuff and you only want to get it to upgrade via Kies, you can always change the sales code to ITV, by pressing phone and typing *#272*IMEI# (where IMEI is your phone's IMEI number, found by typing *#06#, or on the phone itself (under the battery)). Then choose ITV, and press Install. The phone will reset to factory defaults, you will lose your apps, but then you will be able to upgrade to the latest Italian Gingerbread with Kies, which for you will be RSJV3.

You're hilarious
Argh!!!!!
as Tyxerakias said the XWJS8 will not result updatable with kies.
the rom suggested by Tyxerakias, result in kies as the latest for the phone, but was unusable.
lot of process (like "android.process.acore") died unexpected and the phone was not usable.
I returned to XWJS8 but is not the solution I wanted.
I haven't found this mentioned elsewhere on the forum but this afternoon I was notified of a KJ4/KJ4/KJ4(DBT) to KK9/KK5/KK9(DBT) upgrade by Kies.
(I'm posting here because it is not a "ROM Development" post.)
Based on feedback in the thread I believe the update only applies to phones sourced from Germany, such as those supplied by amazon.de. There will be a (DBT) suffix after the KK4 bit
I'm afraid I can't answer questions about the contents of the update or provide any technical advice about installation. I don't have the answers. I'm just bringing the availability of the update to people's attention. Hopefully, if you do have questions, someone with more knowledge of these things will chime in. This is my first Samsung phone and I've never been through the Kies update procedure before.
FWIW I'm doing a full Titanium Backup of everything and also a backup in Kies. I have not yet applied the update. I did try to do a Nandroid backup, but without installing CWM the option to backup is not available, and apart from rooting with Zerglings I do not want to mess with the phone beyond that.
Thanks, updated my EU Note to 2.3.6 and KK9 from 2.3.5 and KJ4.
P.S. lost root. Going to do a factory reset, root and reinstall my apps with titanium backup.
P.P.S. re-rooted the Note using Easy Rooting Toolkit, can't install CWM yet since there is not a version for KK9 yet.
When I connect to Kies I'm getting this:
Why does Kies say: Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies?
My note is stock
this is my 1st Android phone, do I need to backup before update if it's available from system update? Thanks
System update on the phone did not find any new update for me.
You need to connect the Note to Kies and a pop up box should come up to let you know there is an update, the whole process was around 15 mins in my case.
I think Kies will auto backup your phone before install the new update, and all your apps and files should be there when the update is done as this update does not wipe your device.
Just did the update, it shows now 2.3.6 . Le't see the improvements

Have you changed your product code to something other than it came stock? (i.e. have you changed CSC manually).
If you have - you will need to change it back to the original one and then Kies will let you update.

My upgrade is complete. I didn't time it but it seemed to proceed very slowly - I can't imagine what it was doing that could take so long - and then timed out part way through the process. I restarted from the beginning and it all went through OK, but again very slowly.
I could not get Kies to backup my data prior to the upgrade as it kept giving an error. I don't know whether that was anything to do with having rooted the phone, so I unrooted as a precaution and decided just to get on with the upgrade.
I didn't unroot, but normally, i lose root after flashing.
After that rooted with the simple zergRush method, working like a charm.
What version of kies were you using
I am not getting the update.
I get what I've attached in Kies 2.1.0.11095_121.
I bought my Note from Negrielectronics, I think it's Polish, but I've left it stock.
Think its country specific?
I am not sure if it's country specific.
Can anybody who has received the update say whether or not it makes the UI less laggy?

Kies 2.1.0.11095_121.
I don't know how Samsung has all this organised, but my Note is a European model from amazon.de and I am running Kies from within the UK.
My Note was on KJ4/4/4. If your Note is on some other ROM version at the moment then I doubt very much that you will get the update to KK9/5/9.
I did not have to perform a factory wipe before or after the upgrade. As far as I can tell everything is intact but now I am on 2.3.6 instead of 2.3.5.
hmm, kies is still telling me KJ4 is the latest. polish version here.

Since I did not want to wait for Samsung I installed the update myself by getting the already released version they seed in Italy since a few days.
Almost the same. Lte and German Sim card working, everything like if is supposed to. I think installing the Italian update is not a problem.
Works like a charm. Much faster then before. Some screens are following. I can recommend it to everyone that doesn't want to longer. St least for me there's is no problem.

I think you need a rom for your device (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T715Y/).
For me the update with the italian version worked great and I now have a german-austrian-italian S2 :laugh:
I have sm t 715 without y. Differences between the both devices I don't know but I'd suggest you wait until the proper firmware is release for your device. As far as I see there is no android 7 rolled out four your device.
Any ETA on Android 7.0 for the real SM-T715Y? Does anybody know anything?
I got the SM-T710 XSA Nougat update some time ago now. But I bought the 4G version off Gumtree and it is still stuck with 6.0.1 which means the lowlife carriers are probably halting the updates.
It is disgusting. With carrierless Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Samsung waits for the carriers in XSA region to start to release their crapware, before they release the official Samsung firmware. I do not know if this occurs in other regions.
FYI, the SM-T715Y is the real Tab S2. The SM-T715 has very few firmware regions and was probably made for dodgy countries with outdated cell towers. Look them up on sammobile.com/firmwares
Thanks people!
