Telling us it failed without more details isn't very helpful. What region is the phone from? What Build Version of the software is it on? What version did you try to flash? What was the error received?
unable to add you on hangout

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.

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.

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 am trying to get my note i717 completely back to stock. And update to 4.0.4 I had CyanogenMod on it but my phone keeps saying it doesnt have a sim card. When i restart all is fine again.

Any help please..? ;/

Are you putting it into download mode before you run kies? You dont have to go to stock, to update.
There are threads with stock...click on my signature picture for the links.
What is the end state, are you returning your Note?

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
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...

Hey guys, Samsung finally released another update for the Galaxy Ace and i want to download it
I did recently root my phone + extended the internal storage
But when i try and do a software update with my phone it downloads but then it reboots and goes to the installing part it won't install and shows a notification saying Failed
I then tried to upgrade with Kies, and all it did was stay on 100% on the downloading components part, nothing was happening to my device
So then i Un-Rooted my phone and then tried the two steps above same thing happend
Now i am thinking to whipe my phone and re-try it?
Also could you answer these:
1. If my phone is rooted will it affect firmware upgrades / will it rooted make firmware upgrades fail
2. Do i need to put it on Download mode?

Hi...which model of the mega do you have and what rom were you on before this happened.
6.3. It's my friends phone she doesn't know what firmware she was on. It was a stock rom. She took an ota and it was stuck on samsung logo. So I flashed it with odin and now its stuck with this message. It won't connect in kies either.

Again.....which model?
I9205, I527 or i527m? Might even be 1 more
And what did you flash in Odin?
Did you just flash a random file on a phone and not know what you were flashing?

Okay go to my post here and download the ROOT_JDQ39.I527MVLUBNA3.tar rom and once downloaded unpack it as it is a zip file and flash the .tar file with odin and this will get you back up and running again..this is a rogers rooted rom but it will still work, if you are on a different carrier then rogers..then just delete any rogers stuff that is on this rom, which is only about 2 things anyways..the phone must have been on the NA3 rom which has knox security in it, and you cannot flash a earlier stock rom like the MH1 anymore as the knox security will not let you...let us know how you make out.
Note: If this phone was updated to the newer kitkat update the NE5 one, then this rom may not work.
Thank you That fixed it.
