I have a rooted ATT Note. I ran Kies to upgrade my firmware to ICS but it reports "Your device firmware cannot be upgraded through Keis". I'd like to try using Odin but I can not find where to get the firmware file. Can anyone point me to it?

This will do the trick. The issue is with the modem file when you rooted...and Kies is not liking it. This will upgrade you to the official AT&T ICS unrooted release;

Used the process in the link above and worked liked a charm...
a couple comments:
The process is the emergency firmware recovery procedure....
No need to take the battery out to get Sn & Model. Just go into your Settings>About Phone>Status>
You will have to re-root your phone

I had a different problem with updating through KIES, but all the same, Odin flashing is the best way to go.
Have you all got the latest version of Kies? I believe there was a sizeable update recently. I can't really advise more than that as I get updates from here and use Odin.

Ver.2.0.1.11053_99
Same problem, that I am facing. Latest kies as well. Seems like kies is the worst software ever designed in the history of mankind.
Any simpler way to update the phone. Does ODIN require root?

Yes Kies is 100% Worst ..If you use ODIN Once you cant use Kies (Official Firmware Updater) till you get back to Official Firmware again (The One you got with Mobile)
Any One Know How to Fix it?

my phone? it wont update it at all.... it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
I did update it ages ago with odin to XWKJ3
How can i get Kies to update it again?
Cheers
Then you use ODIN to update simple as that . You no longer have the correct codes for KIES server to match to an update .

i've got the same problem

Depends on what region your phone belongs to download and flash the latest ROM released for your region and you are good to go
You can get the boxed ROM and the latest through this website
http://fus.nanzen.se/
Use intratech's thread for flashing the stock boxed or latest ROM

I am very suprised to have been offered an OTA update - as I had flashed a firmware myself.
I was expecting, that with an unbranded flashed firmware, I would never receive an OTA update.
Am I wrong?
The details:
I flashed a few months ago XWLP7 via Mobile Odin pro, and I am rooted.
The phone itself was purchased sim-free & unbranded, my 3g provider is vodafone uk - pay mothnly.
XWLP7 was taken from the official ICS leaked firmware thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
would at least try to understand if the proposed update is the recent I9100XWLPT
but don't know ho to figure out what the update is.
Also, I would prefer to use ODIN pro again rather than doing an offical update and maybe lose root.
please advise!
thanks!
Yes, the corect regional update is probably LPT.
You will lose the root anyhow, even if you flash with Odin or directly via Wi-Fi.

Why not just flash the latest I9100XWLPT rather than flashing that and loosing root?
I just flashed the LPT and I didnt lose root.Maybe someone can add what the "everoot" function is in mobile odin pro.
I think I lost cwm but I got it back with siyah 3.5 flash.

thanks - I did not accept the update and flashed I9100XWLPT with Mobile Odin Pro directly.
as usual, it worked great and did not lose root.

I also got this update but didn't accept as I heard that Samsung were pushing updates out which removes the search function when holding the menu button because they lost a law suit with Apple or something.
It could just be a rumour but I didn't want to risk it.
Does XWLPT still have the search function?
Also does XWLPT have the hard brick bug?
Cheers!

You can download the 'got brick bug' app from chain fire to check.
Until then I wouldn't do a factory reset or wipe just to make sure
I tried the same update and its just as crap as the older one-and more laggy.Maybe its because Im liking rr3 performance.

Apparently there is a risk of bricking your phone if you have the brick bug and you use Mobile Odin so I wouldn't risk it.
If you're using a Mac you can use Heimdall, it's similar to Odin

Hi all Mizzeeboy here
I just wanted to know if it would be ok to unroot my phone:good: then update as I rooted my phone to unlock it so I could avoid a fee.If I unroot i9300 would I be able to download all other samsung updates from kies all right without my network being f**ked because I have an update for my phone on kies and i'm eager to update but I wanted to ask the experts so i'm sure of what i'm doing.
Thanks

I would like to use kies as I think they do more official updates than odin don't get me wrong odin is a sick program but I would like to stick with kies as I broke my old s1 with odin and do not want to have a new problem.
But do you know if I unroot and upgrade ? will my network be locked again?
How did you unlock your phone?

Voodoo unlock requires ROOT so im guessing not, you could backup your efs then restore it once you've upgraded maybe

Neither kies nor Odin does the upgrade..samsung releases the upgrades..on kies you will have to wait for the updates to be pushed by Sammy..using Odin you can download the update from Sammobile/samsung-updates and update any time you want..
by the way..Odin will not mess with your phone if you perform the steps correctly..Kies took around 50 seconds on my PC to open up..Odin does that in 5 seconds...
though there are some advantages of kies as well..such as backup and recover but for me..Odin trumps Kies

WHAT?!?!
They are the exact same firmwares, kies is just one way of getting the exact same firmware that you get from samfirmware.com. THE EXACT SAME, JUST AS OFFICIAL.
In fact you can get more recent firmware from samfirmware than what you will get from kies. (If your CSC isn't BTU)
Forget about kies and use Odin.
More official.....SMH....

Odin is simple, boot into download mode (vol down+home+power) connect to computer with Odin open (kies closed and removed from system tray) put package in PDA, make sure repartition is NOT ticked and press start.
If you use Odin properly it won't damage anything.
Yes, depending on how you unlocked it there is a chance it will be locked again, Samsung blocked the method that voodoo unlock uses in the updates after XXBLG1.

So I just bought this phone on ebay and right now it's on Gingerbread 2.3.4, So I decieded to update it to Jelly Bean via kies. When I plug it into Kies, it just says connecting for a long time and then says Your device isn't compatible with kies 2.0. Also, I have noticed that the IMEI number says unknown. is it suppose to do that when the phone isn't activated? and how can I fix the kies issue and update to Jelly Bean?
Sounds like the phone you purchased has a bad or generic imei. Maybe that is the reason it was sold on ebay? Anyway, you can probably not recover the original imei, and may have to use it with a generic imei. You will probably have to flash the latest stock firmware via Odin.

Did the description of the item on ebay say that there was a problem with the imei? If so and you bought it anyway you won't be able to return it. Otherwise I would just follow creepys advice and hope for the best
