So I'm rooted, running the Rogers kernel and the AT&T rom. I've removed the bloatware myself. Today I was notified of an AT&T update. My phone will download it, but it fails to install.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Probably failing a check sum. I'm avoiding updates in case they update something that prevents me from rooting.
I am rooted as well, and don't want the update.
Is there a way to disable the update checking?
I am getting this prompt also, and I wish to disable it (until I know what the update will do)
EDIT: For now I just leave my WiFi disabled (as it will only update over WiFi)
I still want to disable the checking though
i just got the update and it now says android 2.3.6

I know that before updates install they check can check your phone and if packages have been removed, like you did, it can block the update. You may have to restore the packages that you removed before it will install.
This is the first phone I have rooted. I would like to know what the update changes, specifically if it fixes the Android OS high battery usage. Also if the update causes you to lose root or can be rooted after.

Got the update, and it is stuck at 74%. Has been for about 20 minutes. I'm not rooted. Think I should wait or pull the batt?
I've got the update downloaded and I'm rooted. Haven't installed the update yet, because I'm wondering if this will unroot my phone and bring back our friends from Carrier IQ…
Looking at the 2.3.6 changelog for a Galaxy S2 their update actually removed CarrierIQ

Same here. Rooted with Rogers kernel, AT&T ROM. Still failed the update even with the default launcher, USB Debugging set to off, and default packages (bloatware) intact. Is there a method to "unrooting" and restoring the default unrooted kernel/ROM? Would someone have had to backed up or dumped their ROM first somehow? (ODIN?)

Same here. Boots into software update mode. Fails. Restarts.
Girlfriends phone tried to update, I turned off Wifi, then went to Running Services, stopped "Device Management" from running, installed Autostarts, disable Device Management from starting, turned on Wifi, hasn't seemed to come back as of yet.
Rooted AT&T rom FYI

Exact same problem on my wife's phone...she got the update today....she is NOT rooted, and also got stuck at 74% during the update. Not sure whether to pull the battery or just wait longer?
Well, since nobody has been answering my questions about this update I figured no one knows so I went ahead and installed it. I'll take my turn at Guinea pig.
I rooted the phone previously with the guide here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-captivate-glide-rogers-and-att/ , not the one on XDA. I have also removed the tetheringmanager package.
The update installed fine and I still have root. Version says 2.3.6. Don't know what it did.
Lookout labs Carrier IQ detector says I do not have CIQ
I installed this update it
Did work, I still have root it also did remove carrier IQ as mentioned, it did not hang for me. I checked to see if carrier IQ was removed with titanium backup, Android is now 2.3.6, and kernel is now 2.6.36.3 not sure what it was
Before base band is now i927uckl1 not sure if that changed either.
Hope this was of help

I'm rooted but running a stock rom. Yesterday I got a notification of an OTA update trying to be pushed to my phone. I did some reading and found out it's the fault of Apple (insert several nasty words here) forcing Samsung to remove the global search function. I've delayed it twice now by 8 hours, but it says it won't delay any more, and will automatically install in 8 hours.
What's the easiest way to circumvent this? I'm sorry if it's been answered before, but I barely have time to post this thread because my life's so busy, so please have mercy and just point me in the right direction!
Root, flash cwm and install custom rom.

Same happened to me yesterday. Still searching a way to avoid update..

If you have root , install Titanium backup , and freeze "FWUpgrade 1.2.0".
If i am not mistaken that will prevent any OTA updates. Or as others said custom rom time.
I got the update but because I'm rooted, it never got pushed to the phone.

Thank you! I've frozen it and will let everyone know in a few hours if it worked. Thanks!

You can also just take the update and replace the apk. It's linked to in the development section for root without tripping flash counter.

If you are rooted and have CWM installed, the update will be downloaded to the phone, it will restart, but it will fail to install the update as it needs stock recovery for the update to happen. Your phone will restart again saying that the update has failed and you will be back to where you started.
Source: I was rooted and I wanted to update the OTA update. There was no way I could do it with CWM installed. I had to unroot the phone to get the update and root it again.

To confirm, this is exactly what happened.

I keep seeing that an ota came out, but I can't seem to get it, I keep checking update and firmware to no avail.
it's there an issue with my phone or does it take time for it to travel through the county?
I'm rooted with the original root method (the very first method) could this be hosting back my update? I haven't uninstalled or disabled any bloatware yet and I'm completely stock aside from the root

It could just be taking forever to roll out also. I'm not rooted and I haven't gotten mine yet either.

Same here completely stock and still nothing. Tomorrow will be day 4, so either tomorrow or the next day. I was waiting to get this and do a little more reading on rooting before I put on the jellybomb ROM most likely. Still learning about launchers and themes and such, along with the whole backup process
like you guys I waited and waited until I found a thread on how to manually update it so far its great.
If you are rooted, you cannot take the update. eventually it will prompt you to update, but you wont be able to. for now you will have to wait until they have a stock rom with the update, or unroot and take the update. IF you unroot you can manually take the update by following qbking77's instructions.
I'm in Cincinnati Ohio, and I have a *completely stock and non-rooted* Note 2. I have been trying to get this OTA update since it came out, but no dice so far.
It basically just says that no update is available - the same message everyone else reported. Am I just in an area where it has not been rolled out for *anybody*? Or is there something going on?
I know on my Nexus 7 I had to clear the data on a google service to get it to notice when the Kit Kat update showed up - anything like that for the Note 2?
Thanks.
P.S.
I have searched both XDA and with google, and completely read through the main large thread in this forum relating to the update.
I don't want to load the update in any other way that will wipe my phone. I understand that many of you don't feel like waiting for an OTA, and download these updates and load them manually. I do not want to do that. So, this post is only seeking information as to how I can get the OTA update through the update mechanism in the phone.
Update
Have you tried updating through KIES?

No, I don't even have it installed. If I decide to install KIES, does it do the update without wiping the phone - just like the OTA?
I just don't like installing vendor crapware on my computers unless it is absolutely necessary. Which is why I don't own electronics with a "i" prefix.
Ok, I installed KIES and attached is an error message it gives relating to a firmware update

Crap, nevermind. I got this phone via trade and it turns out that the guy I got it from had rooted it at some time in the past... So no OTA for me. I'll accomplish it the way all the other folks have.
Thanks
68.86Mb Download. Version stays the same 4.4.2 Also Note 2 got OTA also today from AT&T if someone can post on Note 2 page. Thanks
You will loose Root. After Update Baseband Ver. I747UCFUFNJ1, Kernel 3.4.0-1514807 Wed Oct 1, Build Number KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1 Still 4.4.2 Android
weird. I wonder what they changed. 69MB is pretty small. security patches? POODLE fix perhaps?
How odd as I'm not getting an update notification, but then again I don't want it. All it is is some more bloat and a new kernel. Probably a kernel that has been patched for towelroot. The update may also lock the bootloader, I wouldn't put it past at&t if it did.
Restore to NE4
Can you restore or downgrade to the NE4? When I got my S3 it came with the new update and towelroot doesn't support it.
I also don't want to take a risk of getting knox tripped if I do try to go to NE4.

Don't install it. I installed on my S3 which is rooted and now it won't boot past the Samsung logo screen. Just goes to a black screen.

Mine fails to install and gets stuck in an update loop. I haven't figured out how to break out of it yet.
EDIT: Managed to get it all sorted out. I was still on i747UCALEM when I got an OTA prompt today. Something happened and it got stuck in an update loop. It was probably failing to install, then failing to rollback. I couldn't get it to flash any of the older roms anymore, when I finally realized I might have partially updated to 4.3+. I was able to install the MJB rom and it booted, but it said "Baseband Unknown". Using adb, I managed to figure out that the OTA had partially installed an I747UCUFNE4 modem. I say partially because I had tried an NE4 rom after the MJB rom and it also failed to identify the baseband. However, getprop ro.bootloader was returning "I747UCUFNE4".
I flashed TWRP back on my device, flashed an NE4 modem properly, and flashed an NE4 rom. This time it found the baseband and everything seems to be working for me. I have no clue if my bootloader is correct, but I'm done for now.
So it's not safe to update with root? I used towelroot and have a clockwork recovery.

No it will put your phone back to Stock, No Root and Stock Recovery.
I updated and my phone is fine, but I don't have root anymore. I used CF-AutoRoot originally, and then I used TowelRoot after the last update. Neither work anymore on the 4.4.2 NJ1 version, so I'm not sure if there is any "easy" way to get root back. I don't really know what the pitfalls involved with TWRP and all the more-involved things.

Dang. Guess I'll have to wait till a new root becomes available
I had 2 that were completely stock, both failed and got stuck
in the att boot logo updating then fail loop. No recovery menu
no options. These has stock bootloaders and were not rooted.
So be warned

Same here. No Root. Was on 4.4.2 from this summer. All I did was accept the update, watched it download the 69MB and then let it do its thing. Reboots, says installing, moves to updating then then fails at 95%. Will do this over and over again until I pull battery. Cannot get to recovery, too. I am pissed, since all I did was respond to AT&T's request to update. Otherwise, the phone was perfectly fine. Now I have no use of my phone.
Please post back with solutions.

Once updated, all attempts to revert back to NE4 result in a brick.

LOL...typical. Neither one takes responsibility. From my understanding of the way the process works with these updates, it would be AT&T at fault since they have to "test and approve" any updates given by Samsung. Of course they will never admit to being at fault.

I have used TiBu in the past to stop updates by freezing the software update function in stock based ROM.

I used an app from the Play Store called "My Backup Root" to freeze the update. You can also freeze the security policy updates which is a part of KNOX and/or SELinux I gander.

My Backup Root is a free app on Google Play Store. Always good to have Titanium Backup Pro though, as it lets you backup all your apps and pretty much anything on the software side of your phone.
