I got my Note yesterday from a phone shop and my screen has loads of lines across it when dark colours are displayed...not happy! Its not damaged so its not my fault I only noticed last night and its been stressing me out.
I rooted the phone earlier and also I installed the ICS theme, can I get back to original state before I go to return the phone, help needed please! Thanks.
try settings, privacy, factory data reset. if that doesnt work, you may need to flash.
Reflash back with the stock regional ROM, Although I have no idea yet as to where to get the ROM.. last time I checked with Samfirmwares they dont have it yet.
Anyone know of another way to unroot, maybe by using the unrooting method?
Here is how I rooted, I used this guide in the following link http://knowmydroid.com/guide/root-samsung-galaxy-note
...so you know what method I used so that you can tell me the proper unroot solution, thanks.

Can I use this rom? http://www.filesonic.com/file/40770...000XXKKA_CSC_N7000XENKK1_PHONE_N7000XXKK5.rar
The link came from wikipedia and is a Europe rom
I have no idea what ROM came with your phone, might as well check with the store and download the correct ROM.

How do I do that?...ring them up? I bought my phone from the Carphonewarehouse incase you have an idea of what rom it is
I have the update rom on my phone, all I need is either another rom or the stock theme to remove my current theme (ICS) so that they don't know I had root, then I can unroot my phone.
The phone will be unrooted in the process of flashing a stock ROM. Did you pull a nandroid when your phone was (almost) still stock? You could restore that against the theme. As for root/unroot, I did jot down my original version: XXKJ4. I find that ROM, I'll be fully stock again. Check the thread of the root solution you used, there might be instructions on how to unroot. Also there is a dedicated how-to-unroot-thread in the dev section.

I'm also interested in this.. I would like to root my phone, but I don't want to lose the warranty.
SAMMOBILE
Anyone in the UK who like me purchased their note from carphone warehouse, if you hop over to sammobile, you will find for the N7000, a nice stock rom listed for the note, and it is the carphone warehouse version..
I have it as backup to flash just in case it ever has to be reurned, but for the record, for those that did not know, As long as it has a rom that is stock for your region on it when you return it then its fine, Flashing or upgrading a stock regional rom does not affect your warranty, so dont worry about binary counters.
I think custom roms and kernels do affect warranty tho.
check this link to download and install as directed..

hi [email protected]!!
i have N7000 default firmware version is N7000UBKK1 İTS 2.3.6 i want to upgrade it to ICS but when i try with kies it says ur device not support update via kies.so can anybody advice me step by step how can i upgrade my set without any problem.(also ics version have to contain turkish language)
thx in advance..
Just use Odin dude, there may not be an official update to ICS for your region yet.
But you can use Odin to update your device using one of the ROMs from other regions. Just depends on whether they have your language or not included in the ROM.
Also I'd aside you use a custom kernel, you will have to use an app called triangle away afterwards but it's safer than using the current official kernels that could potentially brick your device.

but 1 month ago i face the same problem on a galaxy s2 i try it with odin flashing was well but after i test the phone i see some problems like not detecting sim card , some menus missing , also no restart menu when hold power button.also im afraid about when i downgrade the s2 back to 2.3.6 it doesnt work too well some times shut down automaticlly after this progress.so i need the best ways to upgrade my note without any problem.
B.R
I suggest you leave it as it is for now ,for two reasons:
1.flashing is normally dangerous and could brick your phone ,you need to read and learn your way around a safe flash .
2.stock ICS for the note is buggy and could brick your phone if you preform a wipe/factory reset on it ,this would mean that you need a safe custom kernel to render it safely ,thus making the operation that much more difficult for you to do.
hi first thx 4 your anwser ,but i dont have problem about flashing etc im not a new bie (im also moderator on gsm hosting) just show me steps ang give me the best files for my device

or just tell me how can i make able to update my phone via kies

I assumed from your post count ,and your way of asking that you are a noob, sorry if I'm mistaken.
anyway if you want to flash ICS ,then I suggest :
1.flash cm9 as it is safe and fully functional (aside from sammy apps)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
2.flash a stock ICS ROM using mobile odin ,and replacing the kernel with either Franco r6 ,or Speedmod
these two kernels are assumed safe ,so you should have no problems.
good luck
Hello Guys
Well, let me get straight to the point. After my old rom (Revolution HD3) was draining my battery pretty fast, i decided to update to 4.4.2. Well, i downloaded the latest 4.4.2 for switzerland from sammobile.com. I flashed it and it somehow was all laggy and i had fc's the whole time. After some time i was able to use the phone anyway, but it was laggy. And the problem was that my 3G connection was EXTREMELY slow. I got connection time outs the whole time and wasnt able to download anything. Well, i thought it was the rom i flashed trough odin, so i downgraded to 4.2.2, my original rom, and updated trough KIES. The rom wasnt laggy anymore, but the 3g/4g was slow. I tried different Modems and Kernels. Nothing Helped. I then decided im going back to a custom rom but the flash failed. Then i tried another rom and it failed again. So i thought it may was cause i was on 4.4.2 and tried to flash a custom rom that was 4.2.2. I then tried to reflash my stock rom trough odin, and it FAILED. And that's how i bricked my phone. I can still enter Download Mode, but can't enter the recovery anymore. What do i do? I'd like to solve both problems.
Thanks guys
Btw: I've got an I9505
I assume you didn't wipe anything before you flashed stuff? Thats like rule number 1 to do.
You can try flashing a recovery true Odin.
Hej Guys
Um.. Just to let you guys know, it is possible to downgrad to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2. I just did it this morning and had sucess. But the problem with the really slow internet connction still is here, when im on a 4.4.2. And, it is the same with custom roms running 4.4.2. I tried different kernels and modems, nothing helped so far. As soon as i was back to 4.2.2 it had the usual connection speed. I called my provider and also called samsung itself. Obviously, they both told me to bring the phone back for garantuee. But well, as i know it's a software problem and not hardware, i wont do that. So can you guys help me? What should i do next? Actually im back on 4.2.2. Thanks
Edit: Oh, and ofc, i did everything like wiping/factory resetting, wipping preoload etc. It's not my first time flashing.
It's not possible to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2! End of..

Are you serious dude? Im running 4.2.2 right now. What is your point?`I didnt even ask about it. I asked about a solution to the problem that i get slow 3G/4G on my I9505 when running 4.4.2. If you want a proof Pic about it running 4.2.2, i can give you one. But i dont really get what your point is.
Hang on hang on hang on, it is common knowledge that you cannot downgrade from official samsung 4.4.2 to official samsung 4.2.2 because in odin you will get failure at aboot.bin because you cannot downgrade bootloader.
How ever what would be really good is instead of just trying to say it then jumping out saying what's your point, we'll my friend the point is, it would be advantageous to everyone in the entire samsung galaxy s4 i9505 community if you can tell everyone how you did it.
My perspective is your doing a bit of flaming.
Pictures really won't prove a whole lot as anyone can do some build.prop edits and show different rom name and version.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Well, if it sounded like flame to you, it wasnt. I didnt create this thread to flame others. But i wasnt kidding saying that i downgraded to 4.2.2. Here how i did it:
Was running 4.4.2 (I9505XXUFNB9)
Flashed TWRP recovery.
Flashed custom Rom 4.2.2, which FAILED!
Flashed Official 4.2.2 trough odin, which FAILED!
Flashed TWRP recovery again, since it was somehow damaged from the flash before
Flashed Wanamlite 4.4.2
Flashed Custom Rom 4.2.2
Flashed Official 4.2.2 with succes.
Im not sure what part of those flashes were essential, but i have no reason for liying to you. What would be the perks if i did?
But now again BTT, Did anyone else have that problem of slow interenet connection? Or is it just me? Maybe some ideas?
Regarding slow Internet maybe it's your carrier with issues.
Maybe the downgrade back to 4.2.2 has created issues in its self. Have you checked your baseband matches bootloader and build?
A problem we have is we can't see the version of the 4G modem (non-hols) so that might be also an issue.
When you flashed back did you do a factory reset?
In regards to downgrade do you still have the Knox bootloader?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Well, i called my operator and the girl on the phone said that some people already called with the same issue, but its not on their side. It's a problem with the update samsung released. After the downgrade i had my Knox Bootloader and everything worked like it always did.
Yesterday Sammobile released a new ''rom'' for my country. Downloaded it, flashed it and it works great now. I have a bit of a fast battery Drain, but the problem with the slow internet seems to be fixed.
Again: 4.2.2 worked perfectly after downgrade. It had no issue, No FC nothing at all. Maybe i was lucky? No idea, but im happy my 4.4.2 works now
Thanks anyway for your help guys
Edit: Yeah, my bootloader matched both baseband and build.

If you had done your homework, you would know that in almost all cases Samsung repairs it even with Knox set to 0x1. They even publicly stated it in the Netherlands that they will repair your phone even with custom roms.
And you don't know the law in Switserland. Nor do I. So you can't say that in Switserland his rights are voided by flashing.
If Samsung doesn't give you the warranty, then you still have your consumer rights in the European Union (not that Switerland is in it). No flashing, modding or other chances decleine you your rights if it's not related to a hardware failure. In the countries that you and I live in, it will never void your rights if the damage is not related to flashing or modding.
So well, i think that in switzerland they actually WONT repair it if you flash it, but i aint sure about that, since i never had to send it to repair. But anyway, it was only a software problem on their side. They released another version for switzerland and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I have a bit more of a battery drain, but i actually think im just too used to some other custom roms. Anyways, thanks for the help guys
Hi guys, Newbie to forum and rooting here! I own a Galaxy S4 i9505 android version 4.3 and want it to upgrade to a higher, better and stable version. I've been doing a lot of research and found that the latest 6.0.1 gives issues with wifi on s4! I always wanted to root my phone but never did but since pokemon go doesn't run on 4.3 I'm glad that I'm forced to root it ! So, which is the best ROM and android version that I should upgrade my phone to that'll not show any bugs or issues! I don't care if the android version's not latest..I own only one phone! Just want to run pokemon go and exploit some features that rooting will provide! Thanks for help~
There aren't any ROMs that are 100% bug free. Even Samsung ROMs have bugs.
Also, the matter of "which ROM is better" is subjective.

Hey thanks for the reply! I'm aware that no ROM maybe 100% bug free but maybe there are some which have insignificant bugs?? and also perhaps the older ROMs..say the ones with android 5.0.x maybe so because of more updates? In that regard, I would really like if you would recommend one such ROM to your knowledge! Thanks!

Me, ive come from many years of custom ROMs on my S2, and due to all the issues with CM13 which was the last ROM i ran on it, i retired the S2 the other day and got a cheap second hand S4, and i have to say after all the drama of custom CM13 on the S2, i am actually enjoying the stock 5.01 LP ROM on the S4. All ive done is run CF Auto Root and then run this debloat app on it Until i do enough research on what a good custom ROM to install, im just going to stick with the stock 5.0.1...
Stock 5.01 is available here at sammobile
It should be enough of an upgrade over 4.3, plus you should probably flash this at least once before going to a custom ROM anyways...for reasons i wont bore you with
You can try this first up as an alternate to sammobile.com (because they limit your speed):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
This backdoors a fast download from Sammobile...much faster
I just got it to finally work to download my ROM!
Or if you try the main sammobile.com website
If you choose to go this route, pick your country, and if you want an unbranded, no carrier bloat version, pick the one form your country with no carrier name after it in brackets, i.e. pick the one with just the 3 letter region code in brackets after it. Note: its about 1.4Gb to download, and unlike the old days sammobile will make it fricking painful to get without paying them...they throttle the download. Im on my 8th go trying to get my ROM, every time it fails you have to restart, so they soak up your data allowance the bastards, but theres nowhere else i know of to get my ROM
Or another alternate:
http://fw.updato.com/
Ok so I've decided to flash this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-untouched-google-play-edition-5-1-t3198177
But I'm getting confused between the meanings of rooting and flashing ROM. Do I need to "root" my phone (I would use Super SU) before flashing it? Because I'm following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDlV3plfnVA
and his recovery screen looks different than mine. Apparently, he's using clockworkMod CWM but how do I do that? So, if I root my phone first then will my recover screen look similar to his? It's confusing! Please help!
Like i said id flash a stock ROM first before going custom....GPE still counts as a custom ROM
Be sure to read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67514801&postcount=1380 and more than just the front page of any ROM, this one has a few issues, i assume fixed.....
As for recovery, you should forget about Phliz (it can have issues with newer ROM's) and use TWRP instead (i used to hate TWRP, but CWM based recoveries seemingly arent being updated to fix issues lately)
I did a quick post about installing it (and fixing a potential niggle) here earlier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67769031&postcount=6
Hello,
I don't know why my Samsung Galaxy Y, stopped suddenly from working. It restarted and since that day its still stucked on the samsung logo.
I checked on the net before posting this thread and I saw people advicing to hold the Home + volume (up) + On/Off button and try to do wipe data/factory reset.
I did that but nothing changed it still stuck.
Should I root it or there is another option ?
Which tutorial do you suggest me if I have to root it ? there are too many.
Where can I get a rom ? don't tell me sammobile please, because I need the french rom, I checked sam mobile and it's not free, I need something free and on sam mobile you should pay to get the ROM , i can post the link cuz i am a new member but if you go to sammobile and you add /firmwares/galaxy-y/GT-S5360/XEF/ you will find that you should pay to get it.
don't samsung has a free site to download all roms ?
Do you suggest me a custom or original rom ? Are customs roms safe ? I prefere to start by original one, but can you tell me what custom rom may give me as advantage.
Thanks a lot to any of you who can help me

The site UpDato has lots of stock ROMs, which you can try flashing e.g. with Odin.
https://updato.com/
Custom ROMs can breathe new life into old hardware. They often have minor (sometimes major) bugs, so it's a matter of trying them out to find one that suits. (I don't suggest experimenting with your main phone as you might end up bricking it.)

I couldn't get my Galaxy Y to work using the Stock ROM for my region even after flashing with Odin several times. The correct ISP logo appeared but wouldn't go further. Also the Android Stock recovery would overwrite both TWRP and CWM.
After trying a few Custom ROMs I settled on: [ROM][CM11][4.4.4][Port]Xperia Honami Material Themed ROM Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 which can be found at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-y/development/rom-material-xperia-themed-rom-samsung-t3268818
At first the ROM was exceeding slow to boot and the GSM phone wouldn't work although WiFi worked well and I could connect to the internet. Both the slow boot and the GSM phone were fixed by getting the correct modem and CSC for my region by unpacking the Stock ROM using Odinatrix (because 7zip and others couldn't) then flashing the CSC and Modem files using Odin. Also a SIM card had to be installed.
The phone now works like a charm, better than ever before. There are just few improvements to make it brilliant (to my eyes at least). This is a great Custom ROM - my thanks to the developer(s)!
