[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
In some cases Kernel updated, in others (sitanshu & OP) not.

May be OTA update skips kernel update?? OR Rooted note escapes kernel update??

Let's wait for reply from drashkum,****anshu,anilgpt & OP. what exact method they adopted and pre update status.

Edit : So sitanshu and Ravi(OP) have updated OTA and missed kernel.

while drashkum have updated over kies and so got kernel updation. some more review will confirm 'OTA missing kernel update'
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sitanshu91:
I updated via ota

Pre update: was on stock ics for India

I feel he must have updated via kies that's the reason for his change in kernel

Also the kernel no. Some cl155.... Is different
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
So no other country got this update??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] karthikcoep:
After the update, battery drain is extremely fast and the phone gets heated up. Will try recalibrating the battery and report back
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
Seems no improvement on battery drained, also this sounds unsafe to me.

That's why I always do a CLEAN Install. To be used as intended and always wipe.

In this case, I went back to GB, did a FULL Wipe, Installed LPA.

My brother updated his unrooted stock Note via Kies! He hasn't got the new kernel! :confused:

Meanwhile the new firmware pop up on kies has vanished! How to get it back to update my phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalokraj:
Updated via Kies and this is What happened.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaskiratsingh:
Installed through ODIN over DDLP8 and so far so good. Device is going into deep sleep. Deodexing the binary. Will check for few days and report
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suhasn46:
Can you post a screen shot of the about phone screen? Is the kernel updated?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nipuna:
Hi,

This update feels faster and smoother. And is it just me or has the music output volumes increased. Seems to drop when i try with speedmod kernal?? anybody can verify this? (At least this being louder)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sarasws:
Yes. Music output Volume has increased a bit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaskiratsingh:
Can't upload from phone. Yes, the kernel has been updated. Build is of 12 June 2012
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalokraj:
This is the updated kernal
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RoyaL:
Lamme question: could it have fixed the emmc brick bug? Or... nothing related with that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bindo:
I find these new options added in the APN for LTE etc under bearer

Yes karnel updated. Date stam 12th june. I use pc odin and flash over ics lp8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
I got an OTA Update but kernel version not changed. What should I do now? My device is not rooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
you can flash ROM with PC Odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tommy_vercetti:
Sorry for the OT, it's strange on N7000DDLC1_N7000ODDLC1_INU and N7000DDLPA_N7000ODDLP5_INU in the Camera in the center there is pink tint, which is not present in N7000DDLP8_N7000ODDLP5_INU

Should I get it checked at the Service Center?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
Could you plz tell me how can I do that? I have already downloaded N7000DDLPA_N7000DDLP5_INU.zip. Also I don't want to loose any data. Please advise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaskiratsingh:
Open PC Odin, extract the tar from rar/zip file. It will be close to 900MB.

Select the tar as PDA in ODIN and click start

Make sure that your phone is in download mode. I did this yesterday and no loss of data.

To be on safe side, take backup of your imp data
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shantanubarik:
Just unzip using 7zip and extract .tar file. Completely exit kies from task manager and stop antivirus. Open odin and select .tar file in pda. Dont change any other option. Switch off the phone, put into download mode by pressing volume down+home+power button, connect to pc by usb. Just flash by pressing start.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:

Go to steps 1.b directly, to keep your data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shantanubarik:
Please note if you in dengerous karnel, there is always a chance to brick your device. Did it in your own risk. I flash the same over ics lp8. And i am lucky. Still my device is live and updated to latest version i.e. lpa.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Just flashing with PC Odin is not dangerous(watever kernel you are on). If you have your device affected already (you may have wipe data/hard reset on ICS) then only it cause issue. There is a appl available to show status of your device. you can find it on here general section.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shantanubarik:
Thanks dr.ketan. I got it. My device has faulty eMMC.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
I never did factory reset or wiped data. Stiil I am getting below output. Plz refer screenshot. So can I proceed with pc odin flash or it will damage my phone? Please suggest.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
This chip is presrnt in all notes. If you never performed any wipe/recovery function on ics or leaked ics, then there is no chance to have your devise faulty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaskiratsingh:
I always do factory reset using code after flashing a firmware

Code: *2767*3855#

I did it atleast 20 times now and no issue till now. When i push SuperUser after flashing CWM, i always delete cache and dalvik cache.

Twice i accidently deleted data instead of cache and till now no issue.

You can try but at your own risk. I have warranty and know that MB can be changed, so i do it without worry. I will worry when warranty expires.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
Shall I need to enable USB Debugging? Always getting "Can't open serial (COM) port." error.

Also disabled KIES, Symantec Antivirus everything... still no luck

Update: Enabled USB Debugging but it doesn't help either.

Operating system: Windows 7 Ulimate x64.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue_earth:
I installed this new update too via Kies. Funny thing is, ICS LP8 update didn't give me S-Note. After installing this update, I got S-Note. I guess that's supposed to be the "Premium Suite" if I'm not mistaken. Also, battery drains very fast over WiFi. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and all in all the device feels as before. Not much changes besides S-Note for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sitanshu91:
Do you have the required drivers?

You can find that from the dr Ketans thread of stock ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
Samsung KIES already installed required driver I think.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Uninstall kies and install driver from my signature.

Try changing USB port, perticulalrly dont use any extension cable, if you are using it. and preferable connect to direct MB port (back of PC)

USB debugging have no relation, once you are in download mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
I have downloaded 64bit driver from your given link. But I think it is samsung galaxy s.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
It is same for note, Hundreds of note user have used it. dont worry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
Okey. I will uninstall KIES and keep you inform. Thanks a lot for ur help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
Firmware update successfull

Thanks a lot Dr. Ketan. You are really awesome. Once I uninstalled KIES, firmware update completed successfully. Also I can see kernel release date June 12.

Odin screen shot posted.

Now one more request, now I want to become root. So what is the safest way. Please suggest.

Couldnt post a screen shot as i am a newbie to this forum. the update was by kies and there was no offering on OTA. The battery drain has been really frustating after the update I am in unrooted stock ROM ICS . my note used to last for 36 hours in GB. after IC it became 24hrs and now after this update it is only 20hrs. How are your phones faring guys?

Is there any workaround. I ve tried calibrating too but nothing works

Drashkum
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RoyaL:
So... what are really the good things on this update? I am on lpy ics and don't have nor don't want to have any bat leak.

I cleaned my internal SD card & then did Factory reset

Works great now

& I have Great Battery life too :)

One day of use. This build has a kennel update, note device goes into deep sleep perfectly. Earlier i would get deep sleep issue at least once a day but didn't happen till yesterday.

UK on Vodafone and I just had an update forced upon me!

I don't know if it's the same as this one but

1. A few apps stopped working and needed reinstall... Tapatalk was one of them.

2. Touchwiz reset to default layout.

3. All my S-memos were removed and I had to sync to get them back.

hey can someone please upload the update, if possible?? I have Indian ICS rom running on my Note.

I posted the link on Page 3 of this thread.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nocturnal_screamer:
Thanks a lot Dhruvmalik, but the file size is 648.2 MB. OP said the OTA was just 7.4 MB or something. Can you please confirm?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] meethere:
Mine is rooted stock LP8

is it required to unroot before updating? also i see update on kies only, not OTA !!! and its >500 mb..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaskiratsingh:
I didnt get to see the OTA update, so i downloaded the entire package of 648MB and flashed via PC ODIN. Didnt factory reset and is working great.

No mods only deodexed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhvm:
The Update got them bricked!

You seem to be lucky mate,

There is a thread Full of angry Note owners-

Ugh!! Whats wrong with the Forum Not allowing links?

Google this and find the thread please

"Galaxy Note stuck at Samsung logo after automatic update"

The Update got them bricked!

What i did'nt like, that it automatically Downloaded the update, and is now Bugging me every 3 hours. ICS already has be disappointed, and I am Scared to upgrade.

Buggy Phone is better than Bricked phone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dhruvmalik:
Although the difference is only 7.4 Mbs, the remain files represent your entire rom. So in short, you are not just applying the small 7.4 MB update but are actually updating the entire software. It comes as the entire package and not an incremental update.

Samsung does not split it with the update but packages the updated files in a new ROM with different versioning to maintain history and distribution modus.

Anyway, people will tell you that if you do the entire update, you will be presented with a fresh ICS experience and without any old residual files from the OLD rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaycyborg:
Tried to update via kies, damn slow and timed out in the midway for 3 times.Fortunately Got the update via OTA. Now its updated :). The update pertains to stability of the os itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
I think through OTA update kernel will not update. Which was happened to me. Then I flash whole rom through PC odin. Now the kernel release date is 12 june.

My special thanks to dhruvmalik for sharing the direct link.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anilgpt:
New update is impressive. Battery improved a lot. Almost 2 days over and 16% juice left. I have default power settings and custom power settings set to activate at 40% batt. With earlier version it did not last this long with this setting.

Thanks a lot again. Successfully rooted latest India ICS stock rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhvm:

Same here,

Updated OTA and date says 12 May. Did not brick (GOD bless me!)

Wil post any noticed changes here tomorrow. Just took 12 Minutes to flash

Apps and settings seem to be intact.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Can you please tell me what custom power settings you keep?

I have noticed, these power saving modes just make NOTE unusable in the SUN. Anything to avoid that and use rest of savings?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anilgpt:
I am posting my custom power saving settings here. Putting brightness to 30% works for me when outside. I have disabled data network and also all auto sync options, disabled some apps from Settings>applications, also set background process limit to 4. Hope this may help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhijit038:
This new update seems to be great. Battery life has improved .However, we are yet to see some real breakthrough. Poor Colour rendering issue still remains unbecoming prevalent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] meethere:
OTA update(7 mb) is getting failed.. they are saying try with kies..

and kies update breaks repeatedly as its too big
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Ota always keeps residual of old, kies seems never works. As such i have never seen such bogus pc sync sw, you remember nokia pc suite? If only feature i am missing in android is that only. But odin is best. I had at least 100 flash, but not a single issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhijit038:
Why don't you try downloading it through Checkfus or Samfirmware.com ? After downloading it, you can update via Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
As stated before i had the OTA update and did not receive the latest kernel. Hence downloaded the whole firmware and flashed using mobile odin. All i can say is that

HUGE PERFORMANCE BOOST.

Yup! you can feel it, the speed at which app drawer opens and closes and the time taken for an app to open. Have to test the batter life thou.

Also can someone who is still in the old firmware confirm if Panorama shot was present in the stock camera? I find that in the new firmware.

Also the Spen acting weird if held vertical has also gone. Thou the problem comes if i hold by phone at some 90-110' (i wont use my phone in that position anyways) so its fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nandihno:
Eh so to save battery you have a smart phone going dumb hmm no thanks :-P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
Yes, it's there in the stock camera.

Help !!!Can I hit update on rooted ICS

I recently rooted my note...( bb - N7000DDLP4 & build no - IML74K.DDLP8) .. do I hit update with my rooted note? or else I need to unroot it first to get the update ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
I don't see anything in this update. Doesn't seem any faster for anything or any improvement in the battery.

They haven't even corrected the wake-lock issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
If it is minor update on OTA, sometime it keeps root as it is. But sure after kies and Odin, you will lose root amd have to root it again. But no need to unroot it in any case.

have you installed it clean?

Best performance you may get with clean installation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fulltank:
I updated via OTA and kernel is not updated.I have stock ICS , Which is the easy way to update the kernel now ?, I see that some one download the whole fw and update , but is there another way ?

Thank you for the quick reply. by the way , after update the root is still there. :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Galaxy note lover:
I have also updated via OTA and my kernel didn't get updated. My question is those who have updated through kies they have got kernel updated. Why the difference?

Sammy have not mentioned change logs anywhere, so we dont know what they updated or improved or bug fixes, i have to see whether there is any improvement or not

In my opinion its a bug for those who have updated via OTA and their kernel date isn't changed? Otherwise why sammy will differentiate over OTA and kies update?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] burhanuddin:
Hello fellows

on 25th June i have updated my ICS note into new update via OTA

and my kernel version is the same and didn't updated

its may12

One question that, the update i did on my phone is useless now?? because the kernel wasnt updated ?

my build number has changed into

IML74K.DDLPA

Please Advice what should i do

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
Download the new LP8 kernal and flash it and you will get the new kernal date. No wipe needed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darkevilsta:
Download the firmware file from page 3 of this thread and flash it using ODIN. I guess either this update doesnt get flashed or samsungs trying to implement parts of a firmware such as a kernel or a baseband separately. BTW I tried updating OTA and didnt work for me either so gonna flash it using ODIN now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xda rocks:
Sorry a Noob question,

May I know what do you mean as Clean Installation? Wipe Data/Cache or something else? :eek::eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Galaxy note lover:
From where should i download LP8 kernal, is it same as on page 3 of size 648 MB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes wipe cache and wipr data. But this is not advisable if you are on ICS. In that case safest thing is Backup data with Titanium or same other. Then flash GB ROM, wipe cache and wipe data. Flash now ICS ROM then restore only user appl not any system junk.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
@galaxy note lover. Sorry I ment LPA kernel. I yes its the one posted in the third Page, I have posted that link in the opening post also. I just flash it over LP8 and you will have the new kernel. But others will ask you to make a backup or install it over gbt. its your call.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gowthamgam:
if i use safe any kernel with ics and performed wipe/recovery function what will happen.is that safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
In short yes. This bug is present in samsung's stock ICS. You can do wipe/restore in any CM9 or GB roms without triggering the bug
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fulltank:
Try this link ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abhijit038:
Contrary to the general notion, I have wiped many times on stock recovery without any bricking.

However, I haven't rooted my phone and wish to stay the same.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anon67:
Help :)

Guys - i just bought galaxy note yesterday and am yet to do any OTA updates. I am prompted for the latest update , but i did not yet install. I also read abt the emmc bug - and the emmc bug test app tells me that my notes is vulnerable.

Can someone please let me know if its safe to try the latest update ?

I tried searching this forum - but could not get a confirmation if its safe to try the same.

Thanks in advance !

Edit : Forgot to mention that i am still on GB ROM - which i got from the seller.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xda rocks:
I was in rooted LP8 kernel with Stock ICS, and updated the LPA Kernel through your link via Mobile ODIN. So far, I don't see any problems in my phone (on the contrary its so responsive, smoother & faster keeping my root intact). Do you still recommend to flash GB Rom, wipe data & Cache and then flash the latest kernel Updates?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
All Notes are vulnurable as this is a chip level bug. You can go ahead and update to ICS and try it out. Once you are bored or it you can downgrade to GB and them try any ICS custom rom you want to.

This eMMC bug will be triggered only when you wipe/backup and restore. No if you going to use the stock rom. Then no problem at all.

PS use Kies to update as people using OTA update do not appear to be getting the latest kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Suggesting to stay on GB. If you want to try/use ics then I would recommend to flash a safe kernel after flashing any ROM you choose with unsafe kernel!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gowthamgam:
bricking things will happen randomly while using ics stock kernel.ya you can wipe /recovery without bricking many times until you make your cool gadget as a useless crap.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anon67:
Thanks for the reply guys !. I tried with Kies , and i am seeing weird issues. Sometimes the phone is not recognized , other times - it takes ages to download the ROM and when it does - it gives peculiar errors - like once it said battery charge is not proper - at that time battery was at 100% . 2nd time it just stood there. I felt OTA over wifi was downloading much faster.

Anyways i will try with Kies and see how it goes.

In case it gets bricked - how do i recover back ?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Which is a safe kernel ? If you can please elaborate . I am at stock GB kernel - whatever came with my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ravi_buz:
Remove and Re install kies. Dont worry, you wont brick your phone by upgrading the stock ROM. Brick will happen only if you backup/restore in ICS.

Stock GB kernal (that came with your phone) is what is said to be the safe kernal. You have to downgrade to this from ICS in case you want to flash some custom ROM.
