Just make sure you read tons before flashing
It should be pretty simple after you have an idea of what's going on.
Read the stickies they will help
And flashing the Official ICS thru Odin/Kies shouldnt brick or harm your phone at all

It does not matter if your phone is rooted or not. Start up Samsung Kies. Connect your phone. Go to the Tools tab. Select "Firmware upgrade and Initialization". Fill in the info and you should force the update. Model is SGHI717. No hyphen. And use caps for model and SN.

I tried that and it said SGH -I717 does not support initializing. Now what?
It say my current firmware is PD:LA1 / PHONE:LE2 / CSC :LA1 (ATT )
Maybe update not availble yet for that??

Its not that hard just a couple files you have to download and you'll be set..
Google Odin for ATT Note and
Download this .zip file found here
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162779447/3bb6230/I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_ATT.zip.html
(its stock official ICS ) extract the .zip and put the .tar file inside in the PDA slot
And hit start
Make sure you put your phone in download mode first
(Holding volume down and power when powering up)
You should be set
I think there is a video on the stickies on how to do it as well if you get lost or confused

Some mentioned there was an ATT software update by OTA on some phones. Maybe this was an update for kies compatability on older Note handsets. Have you looked there first? Sorry if I could not help more.

Model is sierra golf hotel india seven one seven. All caps and no spaces. Kies probably didn't recognize the model.
FYI I guess there are different model numbers, or at least different ways the model number must be entered. My model # is SGH-I717...and when updating this way via Kies, I had to enter the dash. It wouldn't take it without the dash. Also, I've seen others report the model # they used was ATTI717.

and that you might have fixed it already but...
The quickest fix for me was to install ATT's original Baseband back its official I717UCLA1. Your note might have a different/custom one installed. I ran into the same exact issue today on my girlfriends Note (forgot I had a tmobile radio loaded for her). I would assume that CWM is loaded on the device also. If thats the case, search XDA for ATTNOTEUCLARADIO.zip (approx 22.1mb file) and copy to sd or internal storage on device. Boot into recovery via vol up + vol down + power. choose install via .zip. point to file and run. once completed, reboot.
now connect note to computer and run Kies. It will now tell you update is available.
Hope this helps anyone else who stumbles across this post via google search. I had to re-download files as we weren't home when I had did this where I have the files backup to to storage drive. Its safe and fast.
(Update) This will remove root access, remove CWM recovery and install ATT's bloatware crap. The cool factor: It DOES keep all your data and apps untouched except Superuser, which it removes

Put it in download mode. Start kies and once it shows your phone as connected click emergency firmware upgrade have your s/n ready make sure you have 3 gigs of space on your pc and a internet connection. It will.restore to official ics for the i717. WARNING........ THIS WILL ERASE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE HAND. Stock ics sucks if i was you id root and install a custom ics. Example i am using the new blackstar Rom. Its the best Rom for ics in my eyes..goodluck.

I just exchanged my phone with AT&t today. Before doing so, I brought it completely back to stock from CM9.
Odin'd stock GB rom.
Odin'd stock radio (1).
Odin'd CWM.
Flashed flash counter reset via CWM.
After doing that, Kies let the phone update to official ICS. But only after doing all of that. At some point in there might be your problem.
Once I got the new phone home, I IMMEDIATELY rooted and restored to my CM9 backup. Stock anything is blegh.

Solved
I was also getting the message 'SGH-I717' does not allow initializing.
Going throught the post, I Booted the device with Vol-Up + Vol Dwn + Power (I kept the USB cable connected) and when the Samsung Logo first appeared released all the keys.
Once in the menu I selected last option click on Ok (the second touch button) then selected first option to reboot.
The phone booted normally and connect to Kies it asked for update. The update is downloading right now.

[REF] Recover AT&T Note to GB Factory with Kies (Will NOT trip your flash counter!!)
Yes, I'm aware that this isn't the accepted way, but it DOES work even with a custom rom & rooted!!
You MUST have Kies full installed on the desktop/laptop and make sure you're updated to the latest version.
1) Boot your note into download mode
2) Connect your Note to the laptop with factory USB cable
2) Launch Kies on your desktop (full version)
4) Choose Tools, Firmware upgrade & initialization
a) While in download mode, pull battery and enter the S/N & model name (ALL CAPS!!)
b) It will prompt to initialize to original settings. Click "YES"
c) It will prompt to initialize the latest version. Click "YES"
d) It will download the firmware upgrade components (DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DEVICE!!)
5) It will prompt for firmware upgrade and initialization.
a) Click check box for reading above information
b) Click your choice if you want your information saved on Samsung Kies corporate servers (I choose WITHOUT saving).
Just kick back, wait and the phone will update to the original out of box software with the latest updates already applied. No issue with anything, no tripping of the flash counter, and Samsung/AT&T knows now different (if you tripped the counter back before performing this, or performed the process of installing CWM recovery through ADB as to NOT trip the flash counter when changing recovery).
This is the EXACT process I did, and had an AT&T tech verify and it's not detectable I was rooted, and was running a custom ICS ROM. Now, I will qualify that I DID the Recovery installation with ADB so that I didn't trip the counter with the Recovery installation. So if they are able to check the binary information to detect modification even with flash counter reset, that's out of my hands and can't confirm or deny.
This is ONLY to reset to factory GB Latest & greatest for performing OTA/Kies update of ICS when it's finally released.
Tagged, thanks.
Thanks for this. I just got my first android phone a few days ago and needed to go back to stock to return for a new one. I upgraded to ics, then recently flashed back to stock, but my baseband never changed and I was stuck with two on the counter. I'm super new to this and had an iPhone for 5 years, but I think I download the new cwm so I can reset the counter, then do the emergency download with kies and I should be back to stock out of the box, right? I just hope I can find an easy guide to get the updated cwm, I'll search in.the morning. Thanks again for the kies suggestion.

Worked!
Thanks. Tried it for the hell of it and yes, you need to follow the OP instructions exactly but success if you do.
Thanks a lot. I've been looking for this, because event when i flash my note back to original rom, kies still didnt regconize the note.
:thumbup:
I can say with a Rogers note all I got was some asian text and an ok button
Worked perfectly! Thank you so much I just had to get cwm, reset the flash conter and let kies do all the work.
Thanks again~

Hi Agoat, I saw your sig you are on UCLE5 RC1, can you run touchwiz on this? i am running this rom from AppDroid too, but don't have touchwiz, can't run weather or add task widget to home screen. besides, this rom works perfectly smooth.
thanks
ever since i did this my phone keeps popping up communication error for looking for an update... is there a way to stop this from popping up????
Um, that's interesting because I've never run into this issue. Are you running the I717 on AT&T?? This has only been tested by me on the AT&T Branded US Galaxy Note.
It was confirmed by many (as seen on the thread) to work on the AT&T Note. Did you follow the directions completely? If you are able to get into download mode on the device, I'd say do it again and make sure you didn't end prematurely.

I have the same problem too. I used to be rooted but I unrooted it today by flashing the stock kernel and recovery using CWM and the stock rom using ODIN. Now when I connect to the computer and launch Kies, it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."
Additional Info from Kies:
"Current firmware version: PDA:LA1 / PHONE:LB7 / CSC:LA1 (ATT)"

Up until now I have never had too ask for help reading was always enough to get all the info I needed but not this time.
Ok so, work kies it will never connect to the service the phone that is, all drivers up to date. PC can see it just fine.

Will this get me back to being able to connect to Kies so I can do the upgrade? I know this one said unroot but I was unsure if i need to get back to a stock ROM as well. I kow I read some where able to unroot thought kies, but all I was ever able to get was a connection error.
Yes , I was in DL mode in Odin as well, but hey sometime we have to ask the obvious questions like. " Is the device plugged in to the outlet"
You don't need to go back to stock to get the ics upgrade!
Go to the samsung page where you upgrade (this link was sent out by at&t in a tezt message), scroll down near the bottom and do the emergency firmare install.
It will wipe your phone clean but will leave your sd card alone.

I saw nothing on the Samsung page that instructs on how to do the emergency firmware install.
First download Kies and install it with your phone unplugged from the computer. make sure Kies does all its updates. while its updating remove your battery and write down your S/N as well as the model of the phone cause youll need it, go ahead and remove ur SD card to be safe. Once its fully updated put your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE, then connect it to the computer. in Kies goto Firmware Upgrade and Initialization in the Tools Menu. This will wipe everything from your phone so backup any pictures/music/movies whatever. your going to accept the new firmware install and be asked for your S/N of the phone and the phones model number. depending on your internet speed should take about 15 mins or less to do the upgrade to ICS

Are you putting it into download mode before you run kies? You dont have to go to stock, to update.

Driver is also installed. I even tried reinstalling it several times.
Make sure you have the latest version of Kies I tried to install with old version and got that same message, just uninstall it and re download the newest version

Had same problem. Make sure your modem,kernel,and rom are all GB and ucla1. for instance your kernel is probably lf5,should be la1.

It most likely won't allow you because of the modem. If you don't have the gb modem it will not update. If all else fails you can do an emergency upgrade. Put phone in dl mode and run emergency firmware. It will not connect while in dl mode but will upgrade to ics.
Edit: Just saw the post above mine. Sorry about the double post about the modem.
Follow the directions and you will be fine...

This has been done time and time again to get custom rom phones to ICS without issue.
Just follow the directions and you'll be fine.
I did something I shouldn't. I accidentally flashed a Gingerbread kernel on stock ICS. I was stuck at the boot screen, then flashed a stock Gingerbread ROM. My phone boots now, but I can't get it to upgrade through Kies (I think it's because the baseband is UCLF6). Also, the Contacts and Phone apps crash constantly. At this point I'd just like to get back to stock ICS, I think I'm done rooting for today.
Kernels have to match the roms. Ics for ics etc. If u want to change your baseline then u must flash a gingerbread radio. U can also just flash a ics stock rom If u want to upgrade to ics again. Most rom will include the kernels radios and all just find the rom u want and follow that devs instructions.

Did you have CWM installed?
Then just go into recovery and flash any ICS rom.
Did you get the stock ICS from the samsung-kies website?
Then you can use the tools menu and do emergency firmware install.
But you're right -- take a break and attack it later. As long as the phone gets into download mode you are ok.

No CWM, I upgraded through desktop Kies. I can download stock from the website?
Yes. And all the steps are there with pictures!
You should uninstall your Kies on your pc and reboot it before you install the Kies on the website.
The site I am talking about is not www.samfirmware.com. I am referring to the samsung ics upgrade site.

It says my device is not eligible for upgrade through Kies.
Emergency firmware upgrade says not eligable?

It wants a code from the previous PC. I don't have one.
That's something else. Put your phone in download mode. Kies will not connect. It'll just keep saying connecting. Then use emergency firmware. Use caps for any info it asks for. Correct me if I'm wrong Ranger. Don't have it in front of me.

I was looking at the emergency recovery, not the upgrade initializer. I put in the SN and model number, it's running now.

After downloading the image the progress bar is stuck at 0%. Kies said put it in recovery mode, so I did. Should I have put it in download? Can I just hit reboot on the menu?
I think you are getting closer.
In kies click on tools>emergency firmware recovery a window should popup
boot your device into download mode
on the "emergency fw recovery window" should show your device... it will ask for your SN and model, input them as it shows on the back of your device. It will then install the latest Samsung FW (ICS).

Success! Thanks for everyone's help, I'll be a little more careful when figuring out how to root next time (my last phone was an iPhone, I guess I was spoiled by one-click jailbreaks).
Congratulations! Go into recovery and make a backup. When you are setting up your phone get Titanium Backup app and an sms and phone call backup app. Before you experiment use those backup apps.
Edit the title of your post to say [solved].
Go back and use the thanks button on those who contributed to your success.
See you around, right?

Don't you need root for Titanium Backup?
Yes you do.
Oh, I'm not rooted, I don't think I want to go through this again.
Lol dude. Stick with what's working for you. If you decide to root down the road, just read like crazy.
