Preparation for ICS via Kies

Ok you been running custom roms root stock roms and now you want to join the rush for official release of ICS .But you have a non genuine firmware /product codes etc .
Simple method of preparing to get the release is one restore your original saved firmware on a clean phone Kies will update once your provider releases ICS .
No saved rom then go to
Check FUS downloader: http://fus.nanzen.se/download.php?id=12
Download and open it find your phone find the original supplier ie Voda Orange TMob etc or punch in your phones original codes and download the firmware .
Backup data and anything you want to save from your phone just in case .A Nandroid backup is useful at this point .
Now open Odin and flash the firmware you just downloaded this will also remove root .Its unzip download to single file .tar.md5 Open Odin put this file to PDA and flash as normal
Connect to Kies and when your phone provider updates you get ICS via Kies .
Above should apply to FOTA updates if they are available as well .
Alternative is to wait for ICS release and grab your copy via CheckFus or grab a stock Samsung ICS rom from the stock roms sources once released .
Or just sit back with your GB and wait for the custom roms to be built on ICS before moving to Android 4 my preferred choice .

Again all these methods need not be used for ICS but can be used to download the original firmware that can be flashed for warranty purpose as well as upgrades .

Why are you posting this? ICS doesn't come out today. You get mad at others for posting ICS topics and threads, yet you posted one when ICS is not even coming out today.

If you bothered to read the post its for people who might want to start preparing their phones in anticipation of the ics release via kies.

THANK YOU! Was just doing this manually - but this way is about 100% easier then the method I used!
Your a star for posting this!

You can't see the distinction between a guide to prepare your device for updating to ICS officially and a bunch half-baked-rush-to-post threads about the latest ICS release date news?

Good stuff! This should help quite a few noobs and hopefully reduce the amount of 'how do I upgrade' threads once ics is released. Because there will be plenty of them.
Probably a good idea to make a guide for downgrading from ics because, like downgrading from 2.3.6 people will ask that question 100 times a day after release.
I wonder how many times we will have to link this and other helpful threads in the near future.

I think you've missed the point.
This thread is a good idea. I've subscribed!

I have root using Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit).
Have downloaded latest matching firmware, but file have extension .enc2 ... what does this mean?
Can I then use Odin Mobile with EverRoot to flash this firmware downloaded using FUS downloader?
And how much will be wiped?
Thanks

great post
willbe very helpfull
don't pay attention to stupid comments

Thanks mate you are going to save me and others a whole lot of typing soon.

Someone always has to moan about something.
Is it stupidity or jealousy maybe ?
This is a useful topic, with no mention of update dates.
Well done.

[CUSTOM ROMS] N7000 All custom ROMs in one place

Alright everyone, Angelos from www.roms-db.com contacted me.
And i'm happy to let you know that after high demand, he's finished in adding all the Galaxy Note roms to his database of custom roms http://galaxynote.roms-db.com.
He would greatly appreciate it if everyone could check out his site and maybe give some feedback if any information is wrong or missing. Also when there are any updates not mentioned (for example the android version (4.0.3
..., or the rom base (Touchwiz, etc...)))
The site for the Galaxy Note roms is http://galaxynote.roms-db.com
Thanks Angelos!
I would appreciate it if a moderator could make this a sticky since it's going to be a great help to the forum and the members/cooks!
Cheers!

great work
Wonderful, im also expecting for the all kernels in the same place.

wow! great site mate!

Hello Nimac91.
I have a humble request. Can you add custom Gingerbread firmware as well?
Also, is it possible to a step-wise installation guide for each custom firmware? Perhaps members from XDA Developers can assist in compiling such installation guides.
Just my thoughts! Thank you for listening.

Much easier for newbies like myself who have yet to flash a rom...but yes please kernals in same place would be great with instructions lollll pushing ittt abit

Sir i bought Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with box and complete acc... seller told me it is imported from Hong Kong and unused and original... phone seems original as i know about this as used before, everything is ok and original.. but i am confused to checked its sim slot... it have micro sim slot while the Galaxy Note have mini (standard) sim slot.. i know Korean 4G LTE version SHV-160X have micro sim slot which i used before.. it is also showing model No. GT-N7000 in about phone.. android 4.0.4 ics.. doesn't have antina on top... i want to install 4.1.2 jelly bean stock rom in it but there is no option for auto update in about phone which GT-N7000 has.. i installed CPU Identifier from google play to know what actual it is ,,, it is showing CPU info as Snapdragon while the GT-n7000 have Cortex A9 CPU.. model # showing GT-N7000 (SHV-160K)!!! Now i need to ask what custom rom should i install in it? for GT-N7000 or SHV-E160K? so that i would not brick my phone... Awaiting suggestions from developers...

Good.. You have done most of the work... If it has Qualcomm cpu then not N7000 roms.

Why they don't use torrents to upload new builds, as they do it on CM7/CM9?

Jelly bean 4.1.2 update for S3

Hey guys, any1 have an idea as to when 4.1.2 will be relaeased for the international galaxy i9300 from Chile (telefonia)?

No idea as of now. Why don't u use Odin and Flash 4.1.2 of UK?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Not trying to market mobile Odin pro (it does not require any), use it to get back to stock anytime without needing a computer.
edit: Do we need another thread for a simple question like this? Please consider posting such questions in an existing thread - Indian users thread might be a good place
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

No one really knows, cause that really depends from the phone company to release 4.1.2 ... and they don't give any news about that stuff
Just be patient and wait.
or if you are rooting, install another ROM based on 4.1.2

Good idea but I want the original firmware.. guess I'll have to wait.. lol
Thanks though

Porting N7100 ROMS To N7105

Hello Friends. Misery Is Over For N7105 Rom Community.
I found a easy method (very very easy) of porting n7100 roms to n7105.
i need a n7105 user to help me. i don't have n7105.
so please someone follow my this guide
and sent me the mounts file.
i may reply late but don't worry i will reply.
and mods please do't move this thread

You should be able to get all info via downloading one of the roms here. In aroma script
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

I'm keen to help in any way but its my understanding that the mount points (if your referring to partitions) are the same between the n7100 and the n7105. But I could easily be wrong
Sent from my GT-N7105T using xda premium

You can port though by adding the lib files that madmack suggested in his ATT thread and then just replace the modem,kernel and CSC with the one for the n7105
Is this method any easier or?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

That method gives phone FCs and sim unlock popups
To the OP, i would like to help you but unfortunetly i don't have a linux box.

It doesn't if you use the correct CSC files, along with the help of turilo from the att section I had a fully working omega 10 before I moved to cm 10.1

Or can you at least share your porting idea with us? To see if we can make it work! Sharing is caring...

Place it in the correct sections and we won't need to. Are you asking a question or are you developing something?

Hey all,
I am really keen to see this work.
I am not a dev by any means, but I would really like to help if I can.
In the Galaxy Note II Android Development section there are a whole heap of ROMs but they are all for the N7100. Go to N7105 Android Development section and there are only a couple ROMs there! I upgraded from the Galaxy Nexus where there is an abundant supply of ROMs, but it looks like that too is the case for the N7100 but not mine!
Can we get something going where we list what works or what doesn't? Or anything really, just to get some more movement with this?

I found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008
Gonna give that tut a go and see how I go. If it's possible to port ROMs from LG to Samsung, then it shouldn't be too difficult to port one GN2 ROM to another GN2.

Hello, I want to offer my help if I can, I use a 7105. But my English is really bad, so I'm perhaps not the real appropriate person to help but i propose.
