I had to use Samsung Kies, but it worked great! Official Telus ICS Yum
How are your data speeds? Mine are still slower than stock 2.3.6.
Telus Galaxy Note i717D
Hi,
I got a message there was an update. I said yup install because I figured it was ICS. Waited 2 hours and it was still saying starting applications or something like that, did a power off because I thought it was stuck.
Now the phone just pulses the Samsung logo.
Kies will not see it. I should have used Kies in the first place.
Now Odin does see the phone, so I thought maybe I should just flash it with a stock ICS or Gingerbread ROM. Been searching for hours to find a stock
ROM for the I717D - Telus phone.
Can anyone help me with a stock ROM file so I can avoid returning this thing
and spending more time on it. So frustrating.
Thanks,
W

Hi,
Yes I had seen that post but read the one user had a bunch of Questions after so I kept searching for a happy camper.
I flashed using that ROM and now I go into Kies and I get:
"Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."
Current firmware version: PDA:LA2 / PHONE:LF4 / CSC:LA2 (TLS)
Any ideas why? I thought stock ROM would allow Kies to still function for updates.

i have to send my vibrant back to tmobile because it wont charge. i already odin it back to stock. but the question is what does stock look like? ive had it rooted since day one and i forgot lol. it has the sims and avatar and all that fun stuff on there but i just want to double check before i send it back. so far its 2.1 the build name is eclair. i cant remember the rest because the battery died. i used whatever stock was on aio vibrant toolbox i think also its T959UVJFD. . should i be safe? if someone can post a snapshot for me that would be great thanks i looked on the forums for stock pictures and cant find it ><.
Yes, that is all you need.
cool thank you i was just worried about the hefty fee they give you if they catch you sending it back rooted
Tell them you don't know what happened that samsung kies update killed it. Even if you send it in with a custom ROM still installed, DENY, DENY, DENY! Thats what I did I think samsung kies updates have killed soo many phones to date that they don't even question it anymore. You say "samsung kies" they say "we will send you a replacement sir"LOL, end of story.

if you have any doubts, After Odin, hook it up to Kies Mini and update to 2.2 and then format the Internal SD, they will never know.
last quick question. ok my original vibrant which i odin it back to stock heres the info
model number:SGHT959
firmware version:2.1-update1
baseband version:t959uvjfd
kernal version:2.6.29
build number:eclair
while that is that the new vibrant i have has this info in it
same model number
same firmware
baseband version:t959uvji6
kernal:same
build number:eclair.uvji6
now should i have to worry about anything? is mine just basic stock? or should i look for a different stock to odin it with?
Nope ur good dood. ji6 is just an update. both are stock.

thanks. i also did the kies update to froyo just in case thank you all for your help i now have a sexy "new" vibrant that has an actual working usb port! hoorahhh
Anyone happen to know, or even a guess why telus would remove the GB update from their site. I've read about people have various problems with the updating, but from what I read, those problems were PC related.
Mine worked just fine.
I also have a question... is it possible to dump a stock rom and/or radio and/or kernel without having root?
Thx
Maniac
Can anyone confirm if this is true?
That is sort of strange. Im glad I was able to get it in time. And rooted too
People were losing SD cards on telus also.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Can anyone tell me how I can rip the rom, cause I've tried the method found on these forums for the fascinate for froyo, but when I tried to odin it back it didn't work.
So right now I'm almost afraid to shut the phone off just in case I can't boot and I have no way to get it back to stock GB.
Mainly what I want to do is make a factory image that I can put somewhere for others to download it. Cause I want to try some things but I can't until telus puts the update up again.

I think Telus was getting all kinds of questions on when it would be available when they had no control over it - so they made a generic upgrade page.
I just tried with Kies and I got GingerBread BUT I'm also staring a long time at a galaxy S screen - lost my clockwork mod recovery as well (back to stock 3E).
Hmmmm - anyone know if this update is still available online somewhere as I have no OTA to get it and of course as the thread says... TELUS has pulled it.

I'm pretty sure to upgrade through the Samsung Kies software, you will have to remove any mods / hacks that you made to your phone.
Best option probably is to flash everything back to Stock, which I did. Then had no problem updating via Kies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
Alright I'll give that a shot tonight, the only 'mod' I have done would be rooting the phone - other than that it is stock at this time.
I guess the one thing I really shouldve mentioned in my first reply is I have the Fascinate 4G with TELUS, is the update specific to the 3G+?

Oh wait! If you have the Fascinate 4G+ (T959P) then you may not want to flash everything back to 2.2.
I'm not 100% sure that it may work with 4G Fascinate.
Can anyone validate the following steps will work on his Fascinate 4G+ ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
They are different phones. If you could get the 3G+ file to flash at all (which I doubt), it would almost certainly semi brick the phone. There is an update section on telus website for fascinate 4G (just below the 3G+ entry) (no update available today). When you see the update available there, you're good to go.
I have the 4g and I won't flash anything made for the 3g. Two different phones. I remember reading a thread about people bricking the 4g while trying to put 3g stuff on it.
Hello,
After searching Google and the XDA site, I have been unable to find any threads/posts regarding this issue. I can't believe I'm the only one to have this problem, but...
A week ago I flashed a new ROM on my SGSII. I noticed today that when I go to Settings>About Phone>Software Update, nothing happens. It's as if I didn't touch it. I have used other ROMs in the past, but never noticed this. I don't think it is a bug or even a result of flashing the ROM as no one else has had this problem.
I'm using CHECKROM REVOHD V4 with the DarkKnight v2.5.2 kernel.
Would flashing the ROM again help?
All suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
First you need to be signed in to your Samsung Account to get OTA updates and secondly unfortunately if your not on a "stock" Samsung ROM and Firmware combo the OTA updates dont work.
Plus OTA seems to only work for a few networks so far .

Indeed, since you're not on a stock ROM, OTA will never work anyways. I froze Software Updater in Titanium, and this is the behavior I see. (clicking update does nothing) CheckROM may have frozen this by default.
I was actually signed into my Samsung account as I thought that might be the issue but I won't worry about it anymore.
Thank you all so much!
Hello, for some reason after i upgraded to official bell ICS for my galaxy note .. and then back to gingerbread for troubleshooting .. now it does not tell me that i could upgrade to ICS .. is there anything i could do ??? or is there anywhere an odin file for official Bell ICS ?
Thanks in advance for any help ...
Try doing the update with Kies.

Thanks for the reply .. and nope it does not work .. that is the strange part as it says i dont have upgrade for this device .. here is the whole story
I had my Galaxy note (Bell) rooted and CWM with Gingerbread ..
I received a morning the message that it was having the upgrade for ICS ... I tried and it failed saying invalid argument E: ...
I tried twice and it failed .. I tried then with Kies, the first time it failed and the second time it worked !
I was all excited to have ICS but then .... The problems with my signal began.
I had intermittent signal, meaning that sometimes the signal was going dead and anybody trying to call me or if i would try to browse the web or anything it would say that it cannot do it for the moment or network was not there.
I had to reboot my phone every time to have it back.
Decided then to try to flash back Gingerbread Bell stock in hope to be able to flash back ICS clean and maybe solve that problem
That was my mistake i guess as now it is on Gingerbread clean but no mention of ICS available to me now ..
In Kies it tells me that there is no update for that device
Current Firmware version PDA:LA2/ PHONE:LF4/ CSC:LA2 (BMC)
I dont know if i could force the upgrade somehow for ICS or if there is anything i could do ?
Otherwise if you know any link to download the stock ICS for Bell Galaxy note that would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Zykio
ANd ... MaelXca .. if it works for yours with ICS and it is a Bell Galaxy note ...AND if someone save a Bell Stock ICS of your galaxy phone and provide a link .. i could use Odin or CWM worst case to flash to ICS and sure would help a ton of people
Thanks
zykio
Could it be as well because Kies thinks i am already on ICS when im on GB ? does it reflect in that ? Current Firmware version PDA:LA2/ PHONE:LF4/ CSC:LA2 (BMC)
Flash this ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766933
Stock ICS and works very well.
THanks for your link .. some interesting points in there as rooted and such .. for ICS but my biggest concern would be the fact that it is not a Bell version .(unless i am wrong)
as one guy in there said
Thanks so much, been waiting for this all day....downloading now.
Download went great, super fast...battery charging (I never install a Rom with less than 70% battery)
1.Wiped Cache, dalvik, formated/wipe, mounted and wiped system,cache,data and installed this Rom
2.It took just about 3 minutes from the moment I hit Reboot in CWM and the ATT Ready2go appeared ....
I was able today to re upgrade to ICS after i found the pit, pda, phone, csc etc file for gingerbread, signed in google and samsung account and then kies at last gave me back the option to upgrade ..
So now im back to ICS but it seems (still a bit early to confirm at 100%) that if i left the signal to auto with LTE,. it ends up by having the signal blocking or some people say that i was not reachable when my phone had to be rebooted to work again (to receive calls ...) without LTE, just one notch below in Auto setting, it seems to keep working good.
I dont know if it is that i have to upgrade the modem in .. or such and if it is the case because of a known issue or not .. where could i find such a Bell modem file that i could flash and would make it better ?
I am having the same exact issue. The only difference is that i went back to stock Gingerbread rom because i need to bring my phone to a service center as it reebots often.
Ive done the following :
Go back to GB stock via CWM backup
Restored Bell stock recovery through a link found on this forum
Tried updating with Kies but now says no update
Tried updating with Kies in Download Mode and it says no download available for my phone
I do have a CWM backup of the Bell ICS Rooted. Is there a way to unroot it perfectly without samsung knowing about it?
Thanks guys
you know what .. try with that .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657279
There are about 4 or 5 files .. one for each field in ODIN .. like PIT .. Bootloader .. PDA ... PHONE .. CSC .. etc ..
If you do it properly you will be clean GB and then log in your phone .. sign in to google account and samsung account and then go in Kies again .. that way i got the invite to upgrade to ICS again
Hope this will help you

For the ICS Rooted .. is it a stock ICS for Bell AND rooted ? i mean like the last update we got and Bell Rooted ? if so and no customer rom i would love to have that .. do you know if LTE was working without freezing (going no signal until you reboot) ?
Thanks in advance .. since i will have to root mine as well soon enough so it could help for my problem maybe and the root needed after.

Fair enough .. i will try first the new modem .. UCLF6 or something like that to see how it goes and then if it is working good the only thing i would have to find is how to root that G note having ICS and how to install CWM ..
For the guide, you mean the how to do a backup of the ICS rooted ?

If you are on bell, i do not recommend UCLF6 i had some issue with it. Also , there is a reason bell has a specific modem for the note. I recommend flashing the bell modem as i told you on the other thread.
Also i am installing linux on a Virtual machine and will soon start zip aligning, deodexing and tweaking a bit my bell rom and make it available to all you guys

The modems on theses things can be a tricky proposition. I am on Bell Mobility in the GTA and was having issues on stock with LTE completely dropping phone and data capabilities when moving between LTE and non LTE regions (same problem on GB and ICS stock).
I've been running various flapjaxx ATT&T based roms over the last few days and these issues have disappeared on the UCLF6 modem travelling within the same areas. I get LTE speeds in regions that have it and the LTE indicator works flawlessly.
As always...Your mileage may vary....We are fortunate to have so many different modems to try!
Thanks it seems for now im stuck with UCLF6 but reading you it gives me hope

I use a Bell Note in the Gta and had to disable LTE as well (due to dropping all connevtivity until reboot).
I had the issue on flapjaxxx rom, onlyone, and teamperfection too. Tried the last two modems (ie ucle5, uclf6) and the issue was present on all of them.
On those modems i had to use a dialer code to be able to disable lte.
On the stock bell mugla (excuse if spelled wrong) disabling lte is an easy option under mobile networks in settings

That sucks cause LTE is smoking fast when you have it...
I notice you are in Ajax. When I was having the issue, I noticed that it would occur when moving between LTE and non LTE areas. Hopefully as LTE coverage expands there will be fewer "transition" areas and thus fewer problems.
That is, if my hypothesis is correct..
Just got off the phone with a level 2 tech at bell.he is saying that the issue is in the towers and that they are testing new updates daily for the lte/wcdma failover issue

To be honest it depends on how he unlocked it. It may buy you would have to be complete factory with an unmodified state to get the official updates. Take my carrier for example. They flash a custom rom on it without fixing the modified state so OTA or Keis updates dont work.
why ask in General, and not the help section?

When i try to update via settings i am told "unable to update modified hardware" and kies tells me the device cant by updated. When i get back to oz i was going to flash the telstra stock rom but scared it will carrier lock which is not a biggie because i am with telstra. I would like have phone stock and upgradable . My s2 was always flashed with westgrips ics but i am done with continually updating to keep getting the latest.
It depends exactly how he unlocked it, but I have never seen it saying it can't update modified hardware, normally if you are rooted it would say "unable to upgrade as the system has been modified" (or something very similar) also if you are rooted and have CWM but on a stock rom you should be able to update via Kies.
I would think something dodgy is going on, I would go back to the dealer and show them the OTA update message you got and see what they say

Yes, the error message was similar to the one you said, this has been going on for 3 days, the first one supplied had been rooted and coud not be updated and as soon as I saw CMW I ook it back and asked for one hat had not been tampered with. They exchanged with another new unit which could be updated but when I finally started using it the radio was locked. I then took it back and said it was fixed only to find that they unlocked it using CMW but NO Busy Box (unless they uninstalled it).
Now I have a phone that is the same as the first one but has been updated to 4.1.2, at the same time I bought an S3 for my wife which updated to 4.1.2 and was unlocked from the same dealer. Unfortunately we go into the country in the morning for 2 weeks and cant return to the dealer till I get back to Bangkok.
That is why I asked if I can restore the phone to stock and still be unlocked and unrooted as I dont want ato go down the path of my old S2 and get into a ROM cooking frenzy. I am happy with stock and want to get update as if released look forward to 5.x.x

Well if your looking forward to 5.0 then you will end up flashing a custom rom anyway as this device may see a 4.2 official but doubt it will see an official 5.0
