Hi Guys,
I recently updated my GS2 to ICS via Odin as my network( Vodafone Ireland) had not released it yet. Now I have a constant notification to register for software updates. Anytime ive tried doing so it fails. I had ignored it think that it will fix itself once my network releases the upgrade.
However, ive just found out that Vodafone Ireland launched ICS a few days ago. Any idea what steps i need to take?

I guess you mean this:

Follow his instructions to the letter
ok there are 2 things going on........
1: either you mean the icons that show up after you flash ics stock rom
2: or you want to update officially by your carrier / OTA update.
if its option 1 just click the samsung thing and than skip it will go away, other icon you have to signin and it will check for ota update and say u have latest blaa blaa.
needless to say u need tobe online for both
Hi,
Again I'm not sure if people understand so I'm obviously not being clear. I have an unrooted SGS2 which I updated to ICS before my carrier launched it offically. I now have a constant notification to register my device update but whenever I try, I get the error "Software Update. Processing failed".
I have attached a scrnshot of the notification.
Any help is appreciated.

That's for OTA software updates. Now that you've already flashed via Odin (and probably not a firmware that matches your actual CSC) this probably won't work anymore, which is why it fails to process.
You can safely ignore it, or if you want to get rid of it, you can root and freeze the Software Update application with Titanium Backup. (there are probably other ways to get rid of it as well)

Use CheckFUS to figure out what the actual firmware is for your region, download that, and flash via Odin.

[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.

I hate pulling batteries....g
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.

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.

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.

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 finally got the LFB update OTA today after waiting for 2 weeks and I downloaded it but when I tried to install it, it stopped at 30%, rebooted the phone and gave an error message saying that it can't do the update and that I should use KIES.
I'm rooted with no mods installed or flashed apart from a few pushed apps into /system/app.
I've had an OTA update before and that installed fine but I wasn't rooted at the time.
I know i can flash via odin but id rather not.

Kies sucks to be honest, it worked well on the S2 but on the S3 it doesn`t . What you can do is go to a service center and have them update it, flash with Odin as you said ( wich is the fastest and safest way btw) or wait for an OTA update. Or maybe retry a couple of times with Kies.

I think you misunderstood me. I haven't used kies yet. I've been trying to update via the OTA update and whilst its in 'download mode' (the one u get when flashing with odin) installing the update, it stops at 30% and the droid icon lies down with a red triangle on it. Then the phone reboots and gives me the error..
Btw, if I flash the latest firmware over my current stock LF2 via odin, will it wipe everything?

Don't damage the hardware of the camera? But it has got well ever after I reset and dual wipe. I want to camera firmware, can I?

Hi All,
I have an unlocked UK non-rooted phone that I recently restored to stock firmware (DLJ4).
I understand that the UK BTU is out and so are people receiveing this update through Kies/OTA yet or is it only on sammobile? I'd rather update OTA than through odin but I havent't received the update yet - it still comes up with the latest updates are installed.
Any ideas?
Cheers
why dont you want to update through odin? Takes literally 3 mins
Never updated by Kies before in my 6 months using this phone lol. You might wanna connect to Kies and check. Sometimes the OTA doesn't push through
If your phone codes match the firmware on the server you get it .
If you no longer have matching codes due to flashing stuff and then trying to revert to the Samsung route basically you are wasting your time .

But still - I don't get why I can't update ota.

Nope - only when you unlock the boot loader. So if you've done that already, you're fine.
I'm on dlj4 too - I can't see a 4.1.2 update that corresponds to this - can I use another? I'm unlocked and rooted.

I had to update the CSC to BTU using CSC select from the play store. Common problem when flashing BTU firmware with Odin apparently - defaults to Kor which prevents OTA from appearing.
IDK why but i have yet to get the update, im still on 4.1.1, is there something wrong with my phone?

You need to take the software update currently available until you get to ND3.. Once on ND3 4.3 you should receive KK 4.4.2

Have you ever used Odin before? If not try searching for how to use it.. It is pretty easy.. Download it your PC..Download Firmware HERE(ODIN download is there too)..put your phone into Download mode (Volume Down, Home and Power Button). Once you see it recognized in Odin, should be yellow or whatever color :COM pop up in one of the boxes, select PDA and select the firmware you just downloaded and hit START!
It will prob take about 15-20mins.. then you should be good to go!
But why would you want it?no root no tether all sorts of other problems
