@MIKE CAIN, same here… i cant turn on my phone.. what did you do for repair? any help advice?
what i did, remove the battery, get the phone into download mode, get 2.3.6 for your area, i used philippines, then flashed it back, worked, then downloaded all my files again from kies, it worked. you have to follow the advice and make sure you do each exactly. but what i found out is that even if you follow exactly it still doesnt work. just wait for 4.0.3 update, IF IT EVER COMES,
hello, how do you revert back to gingerbread 2.3.6
same here… i cant turn on my phone. what should i do? any advice??
you can download windows 7 themes, ics themes, and some of the programs like the face recognition, be careful update to any of the garbage coming out for ics for note, you might brick you phone then android advices will just tell its your fault, i found other ways to change the themes and add programs until the official release is out.
thats my suggestion and opinion………….
Hi, thanks for the speedy firmware releases by your site. A quick question – can I flash tthis over any previous Note firmware? or do I have to flash the previous versions first. Thank you
Is it stable enough for daily use? I read alot of complaints bout bugs in it….sorry,just for info.
yes you can use it for daily use!
Is as buggy as hell.
Would not use the pure LP1 as a daily driver, go find one of the custom RIMs with ICS that use this as a base.I
Is this any differrent with the one released on Feb 18? And can I revert back to 2.3.6 if I don’t like this version?
yes its a different firmware!
Dear Sir,
1- is it possible to use gmail and market in this version? (as i have heard that its not supported in this firmware)..
2- if i wish anytime, can i install back n use my previous version of gingerbread 2.3.6??
waiting for your reply Pradeep Sir..
yes its v much possible!
yes you can very well install, to which version you wish to go to?

I cleared the cache from the recovery mode, as well as tried re-downloading/flashing the ROM again. I still can’t hear a thing, and the other party still hears only noise. Any advise plz?
to amar/wolfy:
dont waste your time. wait for the newer ver. xxlp1 doestnt work…
rdgs.
revert back to the 2.3.6, wait for the original update from samsung, these guys evidently dont test their work or others, i have tested and there is always a problem
can u pls suggest how to get back to older version …
latest what, you guys only work on those other phones, everyone was bragging about the note and the is the last to get updated, totally useless at samsung
The modem section should contain the same as the PDA????i don’t have a modem section in odin, jus bootloader and phone, what to do??
i cleared the cache but the problem remains, other people hear lots of noise wen i call them
I am facing noise in call, done also clear check from recovery mode but not solve, please suggest the solution. If newer version available suggest the link. I am unsing Galaxy Note N7000
thanks in advance
dont update using any update android advices for n7000, they dont work. i have tested all based on their instructions and they dont work…………………period
Hey androidadvices, are you aware that this firmware cannot be used, because you can’t hear anybody on the phone while using this, fix it or die in hell, i posted a question and i’m waiting since 2 weeks, SUCKERS!!!!!
me to nobody can give anny normaly ansers screwed
No sound with calls, You said this was fixed, ffs… and I think its voided the warranty, you said it didn’t, as when I go to downloader mode, it says custom binary, and count 2, as I tried two of your firmwares… Isn’t that what voids it?
It’s as laggy as hell, 2.36 was running smooth, thanks for putting up this garbish to waste my time and ruin my phone and warranty… Now I have to find a decent 2.36
i would suggest all users to just wait for the official as none of these from advices work, hopefully north korea wont nuke south before the update or china wont go to war with the south east asian countries over the spratleys.
Alles gedaan.
Tijdens het installeren verscheen een foutmelding:
can’t mount /preload
Alles werkte maar mijn opslag was verdwenen.
Ok, opnieuw al drie keer.
De blauwe balk op de samsung loopt steeds bijna tot het einde evenals de groene balk in Odin maar verder niets meer.
Same as Mike. He stocks by hidden.img
