I have been reading pages and pages of thread about upgrading to ICS official, since there are

many

way of doing the upgrade. I came across one that I think is the

SAFEST

, which is to bring the phone back to STOCK and THEN upgrade to offcial ICS. But I have an unintended result. Here goes:

I. Phone before upgrade

- Stock Gingerbread

- Rooted

- Have CWR Touch

- NO custom ROM or modem firmware

II. Upgrade process

1). Backup using Titanium Backup and CWR

2). Put phone in "Download Mode" (turn off phone, take battery out, put battery in, hold Volume Down and Power at the same time, press Continue)

3). Start KIES in Windows

4). Connect phone in Download Mode to KIES via Samsung OEM cable

5). In KIES, select " Tools, Firmware upgrade & initialization"

6). Enter phone serial number (shown in the back of the phone, under battery) AND model number - ALL IN CAPS

7). Follow prompt and click "YES" throughout, EXCEPT the part where it asked me if I want to backup the current ROM to Samsung server.

8). Wait until the process completed

I thought I will be back in Gingerbread stock, non rooted... turns out I am ICS now!! All apps are intact, including my emails, SMS, etc.

I lose root for sure.. not sure with CWR, since I can't access it from "Quick Boot"..

So what should I do to get "root" now? Use this method? --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1584576

Hmm.. mine is kinda laggy... for example, pressing the "Phone" button took about 1 second, whilst when I am in Gingerbread, it's instant.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Well I was on the Hybrid ROM when I saw that the official update was available. I used Kies to do a reset and it loaded ICS on for me. Now I just have to get root again and I am golden.

I have read about the CWM and SU load through Odin. Not sure which files to go with. Have to read back and see if i can figure it out.

go to this site http://rootgalaxynote.com/

itll have all the files you need

to start rooting stock :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Can always just Google for ChainsDD SuperUser and get to his website where you can download the file. That is what I did.

Installed CWM via Odin as suggested by others. Rebooted to test that it was working. Sure was. Went in and installed the SuperUser App and did a flash reset.

Rebooted again and installed TiBu and sure enough, SU worked and granted permissions without a hitch.

Now have Official ICS with Root!

Thanks, one more questions, my last post I qouted 1timerlgk post, but he says he used ODIN to flash UCLF6, but the link is a zip file. I am just assuming that he flashed it through CWR, because ODIN doesn't detect it.

I try updating via Kies but it won't work for some reason. I plug my phone in and it ask to update Kies, so I do so and it reverts back to old version. Tried unistalling and reinstalling but same message appears to update but it won't even after reboot of my laptop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erad1:
It is NOT a cwm zip, it was only zipped as a method to compress the file for upload/download...you must extract it and use the .tar file for Odin flashing...wait a minute, you must be playing around here, with that many posts you would have to already know this?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Gotcha, thanks. I tried opening it to view the files to see if it was a tar file but I didn't see one, thats why I asked.

Why flash that huge file? The fastest way is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731654

This lets you keep all your data, apps, settings, files. It doesn't erase anything. Updates the firmware and works great without the hassle of downloading a huge Rom file. Those works if you're on a custom Rom and rooted so don't need to revert to stock GB firmware.

But to answer your question...odin can't flash zip files. If the UCFL6 is a zip file, I believe you'd have to flash it through cwm recovery.

Other people are also having problems with updating Kies. It must not be installing correctly or either it requires a computer reboot to take affect.

Won't be updating to this official version when my flappjaxxx f5 has wayyyyy more goodness and is essentially the same but deodexed, prerooted, zipaligned, etc.

Well, for some of us, it's not downgrading.

Having problems with push email after upgrading to ICS

I already posted this as a new thread, but then I realized it should be here....

I am having a problem recieving push email notifications after I upgraded to the stock AT&T ICS upgrade. Anyone seeing this issue? Its a problem on both the stock email app and gmail. The gmail app is a bit better as I am at least getting them after a delay, but the stock email, using exchange, is just never getting them. Any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrSewerPickle:
Guys,

For reference I upgraded to ICS from stock rooted GB via the following:

1. Plugged in stock rooted GB note to Win7 64bit PC using factory USB cable.

2. Started Kies and it requested to update the firmware for the Note.

3. A total of two progress dialog boxes appeared with downloads.

4. After the downloads, The Note was automatically put into Download mode and the firmware dialog progress started.

5. After the progress dialog completed (2-3 minutes) the phone rebooted and went into the typical ICS "Optimizing x of x Applications" dialog box.

6. Everything completed after that and obviously root was gone but everything previously was intact and ICS was good to go.

Also I used the non flash counter increase 500+ MB root process when I was running GB stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DroidXpert13:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kameleon25:
Yes, I upgraded my note via Kies. Was stock, rooted w/ CWM before. No issues. I did lose all my apps, root, and cwm after the update but I did a TB backup and nandroid before the upgrade "just in case". I used the cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar and odin to flash CWM back then loaded Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from the sd card from within CWM. I am restoring my user apps now with TB. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28525924#post28525924 for details.

I have to agree this is much faster than the stock GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hausman:
Edit: After rebooting PC, was able to use Kies emergency recovery (note: had to reboot PC to get it working). ICS is upgrading now.

tl; dr: do not let your PC go to sleep during the upgrade process. Nothing in kies prevents that from happening during a firmware upgrade.

=-----------------------------

I was trying to run my ICS update via Kies...left the room and my PC went to sleep during the update. Would have hoped they would put something in there to prevent that from happening.

Now my Note says "Downloading...do not turn off target!!" and Kies will no longer connect.

Did I brick my Note?

Flashed the ICS ROM using Odin, worked fine and was able to boot up with no problems. Flashed CWM, again, no problems. Booted into CWM and flashed the flash_counter_reset_att.zip, bricked my phone. I can't turn the thing on (had a nearly full battery), there's no indication that it's charging when plugged into the USB slot on my laptop (though I don't have my wall charger with me ATM), and can't boot into anything (recovery, download mode, etc.).

Suggestions?

If you can still turn your phone on, it's not bricked. Turn it off/pull out the battery, put it back into download mode and try again.

Rooted using the SuperUser.zip (flashed CWM first through ODIN).

google " Galaxy Note Root Guide and it will show you the procedure (still a newb here so I don't think im allowed to post outside links).

I rooted and everything is fine. My only qualm with the official ICS release is the dang folder sizes. I think in ICS Perfections/Objection the folder sizes were great(small).

Couple things I've seen so far:

EDIT: #2 was fixed by deleting the account and setting it up again (which I had already set up once after upgrading to ICS...???)

Issue #1 still present.

1. Motorola Bluetooth keyboard will not pair (ICS fails to bring up the pairing code window long enough to allow the user to complete pairing).

2. (fixed, see above) Exchange Online issue with security settings; whenever I have a PIN on my Note, I constantly get errors telling me to update my security settings to access my Exchange account. That's a bummer because I think they made some improvements to the stock mail client.
