[Q] Galaxy Note GT-N7100 Update KIES Root

Hey Guys.
I am from Germany, so sorry for my bad English. I know of no better forum.
At Windows Mobile-times I was active here. Then I switched to Apple.
Now I am happy owner of a Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 here in Germany (without branding).
Many things have changed and are new to me. I have been searching but found no exact answers to my questions. I also read a lot of different informations. Therefore, I am careful and rather ask.
First the facts, then the questions:
Galaxy Note GT-N7100 II with Build Number JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1 (image infos)
Rooted with Odin and cwm6-root n7100.tar
Everything runs fine with no problems and I am fully satisfied with the smartphone.
This morning, the info came for an OTA update.
I'm not a fan of OTA, so I tried to update via KIES. ( firmware image)
PDA: LJ3 / PHONE: LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (DBT)
But that did not work because my device was modified. (Image error kies)
Then I looked at Sammobile and discovered the complete firmware. ( Sammobile image)
Now my questions:
1. Is there a way to install the update via KIES?
If so, is there a tutorial somewhere, perhaps Step by Step?
2. If I install the 900MB firmware from Sammobile using Odin, all settings and apps are gone?
3. If I update the firmware, I have to roote again?
4. Can I roote regardless of the firmware with cwm6 n7100.tar-root?
My wish is a guide or tips for the following:
I want my Galaxy Note to keep up to date without each time reinstall.
I want ONLY root and keep those rights.
Maybe I'll try again later also Custom Roms.
I welcome all the tips. If there is somewhere exact answers for that I am pleased with the link. And I'm sorry if I may have already read over answers.
Thx

Hi and welcome
It's normal that with kies you cannot upgrade your firmware on a rooted device.
So
1) use normaly the sammobile firmware you dont go to lose nothing, normally they are non wipe file
2) buy odin mobile on market and flash the firmware with this program, the pay version give you the opportunity of have root.

+1 mobile odin :good:
You can inject root, super user and mobile odin when flashing new firmware
Very handy.

First, thanks for the replies.
So that I understand correctly:
I go get MobilOdin, download the latest firmware (900mb) of sammobile. Then I store the firmware on the SD card and update with MobileOdin. In MobilOdin I select root. All settings and apps keep exist?

Now i read from another user:
As we all know Samsung devices has two or more ways to upgrade their software
Either by OTA & KIES which will keep the user data & preferences or the Odin which will wipe the cache & data .
Thats what i mean ... whats right, whats wrong?

[Q] Problem when I want change region for my Galaxy ace 2

Hello Everyone, I have a problem, I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 from Hong-Kong (I8160ZLSK2) but I want change region, for a firmware who have "XXLL2" suffix I can't because I have this on phone reset "can't access system/csc/TGY/system" (TGY is Hong Kong region)
In properties of my phone, I have info from CSC, PDA but PHONE=UNKNOWN. (can't have call fonction, network fonction, no simcard)
Flashing by odin perfect (PASS!) with processus Kies Killed.
I test Ukraine firmware, does'nt work (I8160XXLL2_I8160OXELL2_HOME.tar.md5 from samfirmware)
I8160ZLSK2 ROOTED
Anyone can help me ? :crying:
Sorry if my english have some mistakes, I'm french :good:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145464 This should help you

On my HK ace 2 when I try changing the region, it says completer write operation failed and on my phone it says custom modem binary. I tried flashing XXLK2 rooted.

I test this
PHONE/BASEBAND "UNKNOWN":
You flashed a wrong modem.img.md5, f.e. you can't flash i8160P/L modem on i8160.
Create a tar from phone part (modem.img.md5) extracted from roms built for your model (i8160/L/P) and flash just the phone.tar with odin.
Or write modem.bin.md5 (not the tar!) directly to modem/phone partition using terminal/adb (requires rooted phone):
If doesn't solves the problem flash a rom made for your model!
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/external_sd/modem.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcbk0p13
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But don't work, on reboot, always PHONE: UNKNOWN
I will return of I8160ZLSK2 rooted :crying:
PS: I have to do WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET after flash with I8160XXLL2 ? (because I never did that)

So, what do you think ?

U can`t change landcode without root + Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC or with Phone INFO ★Samsung★
But your current rom MUST have Multi-CSC and contain both ( 99% it won`t )
Easiest way is to download rom from sammobile for Netherlands (Vodafone) and flash it with Odin

As far as I know changing the CSC will factory-reset the phone (Phone INFO ''CSC Changer' tells that as well).
I saw that Titanium Backup is backing up CSC application and data. Does anybody know what happens if one restores the CSC data with TB? Does this work without factory-reset?
Reason for asking is that I had a strange issue yesterday: flashing with ODIN failed 'Get PIT for mapping...'. The phone was starting up with the message 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again'.
I removed the battery and then I could flash the firmware without problems. Later after setting up everything I noticed that my CSC changed from 'DBT' to 'KOR'

To be honest, I never had to change the csc. The european firmwares have multiple CSCs included are the right one should be chosen automatically at first boot up after flashing. And I really dont understand what CSCs really are. So I dont care about them. Flashing the belgium fw worked as well as the german one. Couldn't fnd any difference (accept for the Hello app^^). European people are bothering themselves way to much about this topic...

[Q] PIT file I9195

Hi everybody !
I have a S4 mini 16gb (GT I9195) locked Verizon. I bought it in hong kong and the problem is that there was already a Custom Rom on it.
I tried to install many ROMs (french and german version) with ODIN to have the menu in french (I'm from Paris). I didn't tried operator one's, only constructor one's and it has always failed.
I tried many ROMs, cables, many version of ODIN and many USB plug but nothing changed it's still stucked on NAND Write fail on the ODIN report.
I think my only option is to flash the PIT and to install a new rom. Many question about it :
Am I right about flashing the PIT ?
Do the PIT have to match with a special ROM when using it with ODIN) or any ROM for S4 mini while match wit a good PIT file?
The biggest problem is that I only found one PIT file corresponding to this phone and it failed. Nothing happened. Is any of you has a PIT file ok ?
Thanks for your help and sorry if my english is not perfect.

What firmware version you have?
I think i9195 is international not carrier specific, then you could flash any firmware as long as you're not downgrading bootloader (Odin will fail downgrading)
Can you post your download screen.

Help!!! please!!!

Sorry for the late answer, I've been really busy at Work.

I tried with many versions of firmware (even the latest downloaded on sammobile but always failed.
I don't know what download screen you want (sorry i'm a total noob).
When I try to flash the PIT Odin fail with this message : "Set PIT file" and the "Fail!". On the Phone i have this message on the download mode screen "Secure check Fail : PIT".
I don't know if it helps.
