I have a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. I upgraded it from the stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread ROM to the latest German 4.0.3 ICS using Odin.
Now my issue is as follows...
1. When I connect my phone via kies, it says "Your Device does not support upgrading via Kies". Does this mean that when Samsung decides to upgrade the Note with an Indian Firmware, I would not be able to move to that version?
2. If the answer to the question above is that I cant get the Indian Version, I would like to Revert my Phone back to the Older version (2.3.6 Gingerbread).
3. If I revert to the older version, will my Phone OTA itself to the Indian Version when its on offer?
Thanks for the expected support in advance.
1. Correct. You definitely would not be able to push an Indian update to your phone through Kies while you are on the current firmware. You would need to use other options such as Odin.
2. ...
3. Yes. After you move back to a GB ROM, you will get OTA notification if and when an OTA update is available (or you can always manually check in Settings>About Phone>Software Update if any update is available OTA). You can then proceed to the update. This would be region specific based on which region's stock firmware you revert to. If you want to receive an Indian ROM OTA, you would need to go back to an Indian Stock ROM.

Hello guys
I used the mini tools to root my phone.
Installed BLN kernel without any problem.
My phone is on I8190LUBAMA1 and CSC I8190LZTOAMA1
i was looking at samsung-updates.com and saw some other firmwares newer than my stock.
Is it safe to download and install the firmware I8190LUBAMG2 ? Is marked as an Mexican firmware(I live in Brazil).
Installing this new firmware, do i lose cmw, root?
Thanks
Sergio

Hi Sergio, it is safe to install the mentioned firmware, however, consider that you are going to lose CWM and root. Furthermore, as the firmware is Mexican, it contains local apps. So, if you are planning to move to this new firmware I suggest you to after do it install the cwm again through Odin and then a Custom Rom in order to get rooted again and remove those local apps. Regards
Reyesteban,
So if i install this firmware, it will update kernel and baseband, right?
Later, when i install a custom rom the kernel and baseband will be keeped from the mexican firmware?
The installation for the Mexican Firmware should be done via Odin? or i could use CMW?

The Firmware, as it is an official one, replaces kernel, baseband and even the boot screen and you just can install it through Odin. And you are right, when installing the custom rom, kernel and baseband will keep the same. However, boot, rom apps and look&feel are going to change...

Hello everyone, I just want to ask. I've Xperia XZ2, it's AU Model (SOV37), using Global Firmware (H8216).
I want to flash back into it's original firmware in order to use the NFC.
I already download the Japan Firmware (SOV37_KDDI JP_52.0.C.5.295-R13B), but I'm afraid that it will sim-locked if I flash it.
I'm also afraid that since this device wasn't able to unlock the bootloader (since the Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No), can I still flash the firmware?
Can anyone show to me step by step how to flash the firmware (Not flash the STOCK ROM)?
Thanks in advance.
as long as you delete all the .TA files there shouldn't be any problem, though the latest japan firmware available is android 9
not sure what you mean by firmware though, since technically what you trying to do is flashing a firmware as in stock rom
