How to Flash Android 4.0.4 Firmware for Galaxy Note GT N7000
This Tutorial is Divided into 4 Parts:
1) People who are running Gingerbread who are not affected by the eMMC bug
2) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who dont have the eMMC bug
3) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who have the eMMC bug
4) People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region.(Currently Only Germany, Malasia, Singapore and South Africa)
Please Find Your Respective Section in the tutorial below!
For Current Gingerbread Users
Since Gingerbread is safe from the eMMC superbrick bug, you can directly go ahead and do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe either from settings>privacy>factory reset OR via stock recovery. After the factory reset/wipe, you need to download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:
• A “.md5” file
• A “.dll” file
Unextract both to folder/desktop. Now you need to download ODIN and samsung drivers if you do not have them. For ODIN just download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
For drivers just download & install the samsung kies from here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
After installing Kies you will have the drivers installed.(you may need restart for drivers to work) Then you will need to put your phone in download mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button) and then press volume up to continue to enter the download mode. Then connect your Galaxy Note to PC using MicroUSB cable and open ODIN. In ODIN make sure that the box has turned yellow for this to work. If it does not then there is problem with the drives. You then need to select the PDA button and navigate to the ".md5" file that you unextracted and select it. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" & "F. Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who DON’T have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device does not have the brick bug then simply factory reset it via settings and then you can download the Android download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html

For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device has the brick bug then you cannot do a factory reset and directly install the new 4.0.4 firmware. You will first need to downgrade to a Gingerbread Firmware, then do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe and then reflash the Android 4.0.4 firmware. So the first thing you need to do is download the Gingerbread Firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=1#regiona
(You will need to signup to download)
For Samsung Kies with drivers:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
For ODIN:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
After you have downloaded the zip file, unextract it and then flash the “.md5” in the PDA section of ODIN.
After flash you will have Gingerbread. In Gingerbread you have to do a wipe & clear cashe from the stock recovery(Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button). After the wipe, you need to download the Android 4.0.4 Firmware from here:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html

People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region
For all users who have the Android 4.0.4 Firmware update released for their region (14/07/12 - Germany, Singapore and Malasia) can also use OTA , via Samsung Kies to update their phones. Just go into the settings>About Phone>Software Update to check for the update OR another method is to connect your Galaxy Note to the PC. Open Samsung Kies and check for the firmware update. If the update is available it should automatically ask you if you want to update. Confirm the update and it will do the flash automaticly and keep all your data as well.

Why wipe at all when upgrading form stock f/w?
I updated my Note from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 (to speedmod K3-7 via CWM) to 4.0.4 all without a single wipe. Didn't experience any problems.

Very good initiative from you as I'm sure many NEW users will find it useful! Maybe you could also add the definition of the EMMC bug on the 1st line to explain it to them.

hey man from the post there i see that you have the cm9 kernel installed over the stock Gingerbread ROM(Correct me if im wrong)!
So as far as i know you will fall under the first category because the eMMC_ERASE function has been disabled in the cm9 knightlies kernel. But just download chainfires app called "gotbrick?" to check if you have the bug. If you dont have the bug thenyou can do a wipe from any ROM/kernel and directly flash the new firmware.
And yes you will get SNote and the Touchwiz with the new firmware preinstalled.

Thnx for reply. I am not too experienced, but i think yes, i have CM9 installed over stock GB. So i am runing ICS, but first category goes for GB, does it realy is my case? I have checked gotbrick app and it said that i have that nasty bug. But i have still done some factory resets and wipes and so far so good, as i understand that because of safe kernel. So i am still in danger but in kernel the use of mmc has been disabled, if i follow the guide isnt the 3d category safer? Because its careful about brickbug?

sorry I'm wrong post

What do you mean by 4.0.4 international? Also I think this is slightly OT, better ask in the main 4.0.4 open Germany thread.

As I understand, you have to be rooted to flash a ROM from GB to any other ROM using Odin, but your tutorial doesn't mention the need to be rooted. Am I mistaken?

thats kinda wierd man! performance seems to have improved for me. cant really say if something went wrong!!! but if you want to go back to your 4.0.3 firmware then you can easily flash the 4.0.3 firmware via ODIN. To get the 4.0.3 fimrmware goto: www.samfirmware.com>firmwares>smartphones>android>GT N7000>(ur region)> and download the firmware for your region/country.
After download just unextract the .md5 file and flash via ODIN.

Does it have the same interface as Samsung Galaxy SIII ICS 4.0.4? I have done the upgrade but not much features change except the pop-up play..thats all .What a letdown!

1. You'll need the following files:
Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703998
The Samsung USB Drivers:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-for-Mobile-Phones-15150.shtml
And last but not least, the files to flash:
Torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9C907CAFC986005720D2A038A49350 AA948542BB&dn=4.1.2%20JB&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.cc c.de%3a80%2fannounce
Download all the files and move all of them to a folder to avoid confusion.
2. Install the USB drivers unless you already got them installed.
3. You will only need the following files, you may delete the other files to avoid any possible confusion:
CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.part1.rar
CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.part2.rar
CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar.md5
Odin3_v3.04.zip
4. Now extract Odin to the folder where you got your files.
5. Moving on, extract "CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.part1.rar". This process will extract "CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.md5" from both the part1 and part2 archives to your folder.
6. Remove the MD5 extension from the following files:
CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.md5
CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.rar.md5

7. Put your phone in download mode and plug in your USB-cable. (turn of your phone, then press and hold the volume-down, home and power).
8. Now run Odin as administrator (Odin3 v3.04.exe). One of the rectangular boxes under ID:COM should be yellow now which means your device is ready to be flashed.
9. Make sure Re-Partition is unchecked, Auto Reboot is checked, F. Reset Time is checked, and Flash Lock is unchecked.
10.
Press "PDA" and select the "CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar file".
Press "Phone" and select the MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar file".
Press "CSC" and select the CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar file".

Enjoy your update.

Thanks for this TUT! But is this the Original Firmware from Samsung? Would it work on our local version of i9100 (Philippines) or just for international version?

All what I need to reinstall was the CWM.
Working excelent from almost a month.

Can it get better than this??

Does it requires rooting?

Thanks for the help guys but on that linked ROM I think I might be getting a bit of battery drain?
Is there another stock rom I could try?

[Q] Help Needed

Hi
I have an galaxy s4 (GT-I9505) from Australia, its not locked but it has Vodafone apps installed. I want to install the official 4.4.2 firmware from another country seeing as im still on 4.3 here. now i have found a site and was wanting to use the Philippines – Open Line firmware. but im new to flashing so my question is after i install the firmware will everything work like WiFi,4G and Vodafone AU network.
If someone could help it would be appreciated and im sorry if theses are stupid questions like i said im new to all this.

Easy, you can flash whichever country firmware , as long as you got your model correctly.
Everything on your phone, as you mentioned Wi-Fi, 4G and network will remain same.
But you may wanna do some backup first, clean flash always recommended in order to prevent any possible problems.
But one more thing you must be aware of, is that if you choose to flash, you will lose your warranty as well!

im not to worried about the warranty but. theres are the steps the guide says to take
Tutorial
Step 1: Download the firmware package (Philippines – Globe, Philippines – Sun Cellular, Philippines – Open Line, Philippines – Smart and Malaysia) and extract the zip file.
Step 2: Download Odin v3.09, and extract the zip file.
Step 3: Run Odin3 v3.09 as an Administrator.
Step 3: Restart the Galaxy S4 and put it in Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power buttons.
Step 4: Connect the Galaxy S4 to the computer via the USB cable and wait until a blue sign appears in Odin.
Step 5: Click on the AP button in Odin and select the .tar.md5 file that was extracted in Step 1.
Step 6: In Odin, ensure that the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are checked, and not the re-partition check box.
Step 7: Click on the Start button in Odin to begin the installation process.
Step 8: After the installation is complete, the device will restart automatically.
Step 9: Once you get the Samsung logo on the home screen, you can unplug the device from the computer and close Odin.
That is all you have to do. The Galaxy S4 LTE should now be running on the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat XXUFNBE.

[Need Help]Note 4 N910F live demo version

I have a live demo version of note 4.Basically these are same n910f Note 4's without network hardware part .I have removed the retail mode by flashing stock 5.0.1 Rom of Germany. But I'm not able to flash any 5.1.1 Roms and bootloader.It goes to bootloop.

Maybe you give it a try with a custom rom...
i guess there is no warranty anyway

Also cannot get any 5.1.1 to work on my Note4 Live Demo Unit, same boot loop issue, but no problem with 5.0.1. Can reach "optimising applications" on the first boot but it then crashes and phone reboots.
Never touched pit partitioning in odin, so may not be this.
Could it be that 5.1.1 requires checking of something upon first boot that Live Demo Units do not have, but 5.0.1 does not do?
Have so far only managed to install custom 5.1.1 Note4 roms using Dual Boot Patcher. First installing Echoe rom v9, which is 5.0.1, on base OF2, using Dual Boot Patcher, this becomes the primary rom. Then can install many 5.1.1 custom roms via Dual Boot Patcher, such as SOKP, BlissPOP, CMremix, CRdroid, SlimRemix, all boot up and work.
