Hi,
I have just moved to samsung from having an HTC Desire Z for some time...

question I hope someone can answer for me as I have trawled through forums and cannot seem to work this out-

I bought a parallel import SGN as I live in New Zealand and they are not out here. It would appear that this phone came from Europe somewhere as it is a XXKK5.

how does this effect which ROMs I can install? from what I can work out, if I want to install a STOCK ROM, I need to install the correct version as per front page.
If I want to install a 3rd party dev ROM, are they all compatible? or do some ROMs only work with certain models of the SGN?? :confused:
I am confused! :( it all seemed a little easier when i was on the DZ...

also- can i install a STOCK ROM from another country (UK) over my one so I can have English as the default from install?

appreciate your help :)

thanks

I reflashed it but still getting same error which cant been since it reboots very fast..
I have the same problem and I have tried on three different mobiles. All give the same problem as RAJESH.
Well, to be blunt: it seems to (more or less :p ) work for everyone else in here. It must be something quite specific to you two. Escpecially if you tried with several devices. It's either your equippment, your technique or somethings really different from everyone else in here. Let's see if we can find out.

Downloaded file is not corrupted because I can use the same file when flashing with PC odin and it is a success
So you flashed to a completely stock LA3? Without root, without anything? Just to check if the file is ok? And then flashed back to some older version, rooted and now you're trying to update from there to LA3? Is that correct?

(...) but baseband still shows KK5. Is there something wrong?
You used MobileODIN to flash, correct? Or, second possibility, you didnt put the "modem" file in /sdcard/external_sd/firmware. Or, thrid possibility: somethings really borked with what you did or what you have, because...
...it goes to cwm and says successfully applied csc dbt and then says reboot.
...this definitely shouldn't happen. Something went wrong while or before finishing the flash of the CSC. I feel confirmed by this, which is a CSC issue:
I had the null issue
Recommendation: forget what you did, flash back to any (older) stock firmware with ODIN (on PC, via USB). Then root that. Then reapply the update to LA3.
It doesn't give me the option to flash kernel.
Or, fourth option: you are misunderstanding things. Because both apps, MobileODIN as well as CWM have a string clearly stating "Kernel". I would do as recommended above. Flash to stock and start from scratch.

if i update using the CWM Manager and use the LA3 kernel with the pre-root function, will i have a rooted LA3 kernel and ROM until CF comes up with the flashable LA3 kernel?
Since main Android development on Gingerbread basically came to a halt, there's very little difference between the releases. I dare to say, they are practically identical. So it doesn't really matter what kernel you use, it could be anyone available since the public release of the Note. Ok, maybe not a 2.3.5 kernel, but any 2.3.6 based kernel available.
What you proposed would result in you losing the custom recovery. Since you'd be running a stock kernel without clockworkmod recovery. I'd stay with a custom kernel or CF-Root LA1 and flash LA3 when it comes out. In case interested: I use FM 2.0 with LA3 and with the settings I use it with, my Note flies.

I have just moved to samsung from having an HTC Desire Z for some time...
Poor you. I did the same 1.5 months ago. It's just that I was on HTC Androids since 2008. I had really hard 1.5 months till today :D Anyway, let's see...

this phone (...) is a XXKK5.
That's the sales region the device was intended for. It has an influence on the settings and (in case of branded devices) custom apps the device comes preloaded with. And that's it already. No other implications. Software is totally - by losing original warranty of course - interchangeable.

how does this effect which ROMs I can install?
See above, including all consequences.

...if I want to install a STOCK ROM, I need to install the correct version as per front page.
To be a little more precise: if you want to hand your device in for warranty reasons, it should be loaded with a ROM which corresponds to it's original sales region. But stock as in a piece of unaltered software coming from Samsung: you can load it with whatever you like. All ROMs made for any GT-N7000 are usable on all GT-N7000. It does look different with Korean and later possibly US devices. But strictly speaking, they only share the case with "our" GT-N7000, inside they are completely different devices. Kinda like DesireZ and G2, but not quite, since the differences between those two were rather minor while Korean and "global" Notes do differ significantly: a different board and chipset. So basically different in any aspect possible :)

If I want to install a 3rd party dev ROM, are they all compatible? or do some ROMs only work with certain models of the SGN?? :confused:
See above, and then above above.

I am confused!
Don't be. It's all still very easy. Everything published until now is fully compatible with your device. Don't let the Korean and US Notes confuse you: I've seen 1 (one) Korean guy asking for information regarding his Note, so the Koreans are not here. And the US devices are not yet released. So, as I said: everything you'll find on xda until the present day is fully compatible with your device.

can i install a STOCK ROM from another country (UK) over my one so I can have English as the default from install?
I probably have the same device as you, mine came preloaded as XXKK5. My exact model was indended for the AUT (Switzerland) sales region. I'm running a XEU - UK sales region - ROM right now. No problemo. But as you should know already coming from an Android device: Android is multi-locale, the language of the user interface is not decided by the country you live in, it's freely chosable by the user. And English you'll find in every ROM out there, updating to newer software is rather a problem for the more exotic languages as, for example, Portuguese, which isn't included worldwide on any release, as for example, Enlish ;)

Hi doc did you know were I can find a list of the bloatware i can delet from this roms:)
Used Google. Took me 4 seconds to find and about 40 more to evaluate the list if applicable to the Note: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069924
Guys, no offense, but please do use the forum search, if nothing usable found, use Google, if nothing usable found, come here and ask. Not the other way round, please. Ok?

You can download any ROM, read the (huge) answer I gave above. Any Note can run any Note-firmware. Only when you want to return your device for warranty reasons, make sure it runs the firmware it would be running if you updated it regularily by using KIES or the OTA function only.

Concerning your second question: not (directly) possible. You didn't read the thread, not a bit, right? Since KL7 (and partially KL3) the Note can't be rooted directly. You have to flash and root an older version of Android and then update on the device itself using the tools supplied to retain root during the update.

That was correct. But boot into recovery after the flash (Vol Up+Home+Power) and select the option to factory reset/full wipe all user data. This should do.
you are a genius. it worked and my phone is restored to factory stock rom. thanks a bunch. I was stuck in a boot loop but now its all fine.

If you have flashed with PC Odin, then it wont have Root anymore.
You can see functioning Superuser application, if it having root.
You can use My backup Pro to restore application, but with limited set of function(Non Root). You can't Root it directly, You have to downgrade it to earlier Rootable version first.

QUOTE]

Correct: I flashed the stock things just to check.

I tried two methods:

1- CWM method: Failure as it aborts the installation very quickly after starting firmware upgrade process

2- Mobile odin pro: error draw1. jpg failed.

I am able to root older roms though using zerg push or by flashing the factory tar file mentioned by chain fire in his basic posts.

Only problem is in upgrading. I have tried la2, and even kL8 firmwares. but all give the same failure.

I am thinking about making a movie and uploading on youtube to diagnose what is going wrong.


tried all this using usb debugging enabled and then disabled both ways.

please suggest usb debugging should be enabled or not.

And didn't touch mock locations though.

OK I have flashed to KK9 using odin and able to root+CWM..than try back to flash LA3 using both method
a)CWM - same result unable to flash
b)mobile odin - unable flash also after its run that while in system flashing it reboot itself and stuck at firt boot animation "Galaxy Note N7000 thingy"

so i think i have same problem with aamirift.
2 question to ask?
1) using it does not ask for cache or modem file only last asking for either maintain root using CF root,preroot or flash normally. is it supposelly like this?
2) in mobile odin do we only enable everoot,how abt the inject SU and CWM do we enable it also before start flashing?

i am able to flash LA3 only using odin but with this it will unroot and no CWM:(

I'm also having the same problem that aamirift and some others described. Here is what I have done:

1. Install N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_CPW using Odin3 v1.85
2. Root using DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
3. Install CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA
4a. Using Mobile Odin Pro, tried to install CODE_N7000XXLA3_CL880036_REV02_user_low_ship.tar. Fails with drawing error.
