Its a zip file so I'm hoping I can install in TWRP, I hate doing the ODIN thing.

nope its a **.tar.md5 file, so I'm guessing it's for ODIN. or maybe installable through Kies ??

Official is out via Kies. I installed it for my Rogers I717R. dissappointing. No multi-view. At least you can do a pop out video...

Install and use ODIN 3.07
Boot phone into download mode.. Hold volume down and power till it reboots release the power button but keep holding the down volume button till it goes into download mode. then push up volume.
plug in phone to usb, add the rom to the PDA tab in ODIN
click start.
Using unlocked Telus NOTE on the Rogers Network
Hi guys:
Just wondering if I should choose the Rogers image to install on my NOTE. I'm using a Telus NOTE on the Rogers network but it is weird to power it on, only to see the Telus logo pop up...
Do you think it would be okay if I installed the Rogers image on this Telus NOTE? Your help is appreciated!
Regards,
Installed this way (via Odin v3) any/all (including AT&T) will work with any of the modems on Rogers (APNs will differ) with vendor-specific bloatware being the difference.
Via Kies, you could only get the Telus image for your Telus Note.
Thanks... is there an easy way to get a list of the Rogers APNs in case I lose them for some reason. And could you please point me to the thread that explains how to use Odin to install the images? thanks!
All Canadian modems and flashable zip containing the Telus base, rooted & deodexed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1496
Sucks that there's no multi-view..... I thought something simliar happened with the Note 2, and eventually they pushed out multi-view?
Hmmm any ideas when they will push via OTA? I have an i717R (Rogers)
How's the battery life on the rogers build. Ics used to last me over a day. Now mine dies in 4 to 5 hours. When not using the phone it drains 10% an hour. Any idea why?

Look in your phone and compare to here (all Cdn APNs) - http://erictronik2012.blogspot.ca/2012/02/access-point-names-apn-setting-for-bell.html
Recovery mode is easier unless you really want the correct flash screen and then you would need to re-root etc after Odin

Not having any luck trying to use Kies to update the phone to JB 4.1. It has some issues seeing the phone to begin with, then when it does, it goes all the way, the green droid shows up on the phone in ODIN mode, but then it stays there forever followed by an error message on kies... Its almost like the PC can't see the phone anymore.
Anyone know what it could be? Also, I wanted to check, as I reported earlier I'm using a Telus Note SGH-I717D, is it okay for me to install the Rogers image on this (using ODIN). I'm just concerned that the Rogers model is the I717R. Please advise and also advise the procedure for doing this.
I tried using ODIN 3.07 but it didn't seem to like the phone, it would give me a FAIL message in red, when I hit start. Then I downloaded ODIN 1.85 which is apparently the version supported by the SGH-I717D... same thing... FAIL message. What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks!

Maybe a driver issue. I would try reloading the drivers.
Open up Kies (Normal mode), and towards the bottom there is a button for Troubleshooting Connection, or something like that. That should reload your drivers.
Thanks but I tried doing that... The connection to the phone is still kinda flaky (hit and miss... I connect, nothing happens, then I connect again and maybe it'll work)... Maybe I'll try a different pc. I've had connectivity problems with that pc and other devices too.

Install the Rogers image. They are the same hardware so you might as well make it match the carrier you're using.
I'd try a different PC - you don't want to Odin anything with a flakey connection to your device or you could brick it.
Recover method is way easier IMO.
You can put on any i717 Rom you want from any Cdn vendor, AT&T or Custom and it will work; Also all modems seem to work for me on Koodo/Telus.

The battery lfie on the rogers build is fairly nice. I got 7 hours and had 64% with 55minutes screen time on auto. After you install Jelly Bean if you are still having trouble, Check whats draining your battery in the stats. Also try recalibrating your battery (you need root). If you're still having problems your battery health might be very low, try buying a new one.

You may need the USB Drivers available here. (Support & Downloads for SGH-I717)
Once the USB Drivers are installed, power off the phone, then hold volume down and power it on, you'll get a screen asking you to hit vol up to continue, do so. This puts the phone in download mode.

Unfortunately, I do not see a "Gnote link" in your signature? I just updated to ICS last night, through Samsung Kies software, to Android 4.0.4 and I am seeing sluggish response, I tried to call someone and it took over a minute before the call actually started. The phone randomly "resets" and by that I mean that it will disconnect from whatever I am doing, go to the lock screen and I can see the status icons at the top repopulating, taking up to 30 seconds before the WiFi will reconnect. If I am connected to the PC at this point it loses connection and then is redetected. I lose connection in Kies as well during these times and my bluetooth headset loses connection at the same time. This did not happen before the ICS update last night.
Which is why I am thinking about going back to Gingerbread. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717 model as well.
I have rebooted the phone with the power off feature, as well as removing the battery and letting the system start up from scratch with no change in the behavoir.
----- Edit------ 3:14PM CST
After checking a few things on the phone, I booted into fastmode and wiped the cache memory and the sluggishness seems to have gone away. I will do more testing and place calls to confirm.

You likely have a bad rom image ...
Kies and OTA upgrades often corrupt data and cause device issues..

Simply go into the "note super everything thread"...located at the top of the general note section. Then see the first post..

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

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.

As JayRokk suggested... Make sure your device is in download mode. If not, that would account for the error message.

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.
I know old thread

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.

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.
I had my samsung galaxy sch i545 rooted! But verizon kept pushing for the new update i unrooted and flashed back to the original stock firmware, and stored my original recovery! And then i factory reset! So everything was back to normal. I even ran the triangle away to set my flash counter to 0? I try to update, it boots into recovery and then when its updating it says error and restarts my phone. And it says update unsuccessful! Please help! What should I do next? I heard this was a good place to ask questions and the administrators and the moderators were really helpful! Please help guys!

Make sure you using stock cable that come with phone. ..try different usb port re download again kies power down and up computer. ....make sure there is no antivirus and firewalls running in background. ...make sure you don't have ticked nothing in developer menu. ......
And try again. .....
Verizon also pulled new update that was making problems with receptions bug...so call first and confirm that you getting one without reception bug that was pulled by Verizon not long ago

How did you make out? I have the same problem and have spent all day searching for a solution. I am close to just buying a new phone out of contract because I can't spend anymore time on it. At this point I am assuming that as a result of rooting, even though I have removed it the OTA update continues to see something and so it won't complete it's update. I even installed the "full wipe" original stock ROM via Odin but no such luck.

I'd also like to know.
Not sure what you guys are doing but if you installed the MK2 no wipe image and did not try to root, the update should go fine.
Hey guys, i had this exact same issue with a stock s4, never been rooted. called verizon and they told me to go to a samsung kiosk inside a best buy store. i had done all the usual stuff, including hard resets. The guy at the samsung store decided it would be best to do a Binary Wipe which wipes every little thing on the phone (take out your sd card beforehand). It worked, i had the update on the sd card and it took after the binary wipe. it is the lowest level wipe you can do. as far as i know only the samsung people can do it... they wipe it and restore stock 4.3 verizon to your phone, then the update will take.
So, this all started last year when i wanted to disable updates. For the life of me, i cant remember what i did but there have been no updates. Recently, I have been getting the OTA notification to update. So i did that and when it installs it gives an error at 26%. My phone is rooted and has USB debugging on so i put it in download mode and tried to use ODIN to update it with both the stock firmware and KitKat. they both failed. Today, I tried to do it again but added the file to BL instead of AP in ODIN. Now my phone gives the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. I tried to use Kies to fix it but it doesnt connect when this screen is up. When i restart the phone in download mode, then my computer detects the device.
I have a ATT gs4 model SGH-I337
Please HELP!

flash a stock rom and then fastboot flash your stock recovery, then update your phone the update should be triggered in the stock recovery,with a custom recovery, it won't work
the only other easy way around this besides doing what I said is to look for a firmware thread for your device and flash the firmware as a op who has tested it states.

So i did that but still got an error. I think that one of the reasons why it was messing up before is an issue with Kies blocking the port from opening. So i closed that out per the below thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622790
But it started and the status bar on my phone is now blue (which is what how this bigger issue started before) I found this other link that kind of fits whats going on. Should i just follow the PIT instructions from here and of course just restart my phone again?

I think you may want to pm the developer of kies to solve your issue, since I don't have your device, that's about as much help as I can be.

Im pretty sure i was at 4.3. So everything was working and then i found a random article saying that with the ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 update, you have to put in the PIT file again. So i did that and now my phone turns on and says custom, but then shuts off. I can go into download mode and recovery. I tried to factory reset everything but to no avail.

Hmm, the pit might be why you're having issues. Most updates don't need the separate pit file. If it's needed, it's often packaged in the main tar file. I would just redo the Odin flash without pit and factory reset afterwards.
