Maybe because atm the newest OTA is 2.3.6?
And you flashed a 2.3.6 rom maybe?

If you are running 2.3.6 already then you have the latest version.
If you are running 2.3.5 you can Odin the 2.3.6 stock if you would like and then have the most current version.
Otherwise the only possible way would be to Odin back to 2.3.5 stock then go through Keis or OTA to get 2.3.6 from 2.3.5 but if you are going to Odin, why not just Odin the 2.3.6 Stock.

I have the 2.3.5 version, is there a good guide to get the 2.3.6 for dummies ?

If you installed kies itll update you. otherwise give it a day or two and youll get the update notice. Or try *#2432546#* on your dialer. It should spell "checkin".

Im in the original ROM. Android version 2.3.5.
Im thinking in restore to complete stock, installing the 2.3.6 via ODIN using this tutorial. May it work?

Yes if it makes sense.or you could see if drivers are properly installed.

Cant Upgrade To Play Store

I Flashed My Samsung galaxy y With Odin :/
It Just ****ed Up My Phone ;/ Phone Is Working But Neither It Created A /data folder So I Can Upgrade To JellyBlast Nor I can Update The Phone Via KIES Or Device Itself .
Please Help :////
I Want To Get Rid Of THis Market Logo :/ Please Save Me

Hmm maybe you can try to reflash the stock ROM and then flash JBv3 via stock recovery. Many times CWM will give you a problem if your data isn't mounting. Just flash via stock recovery and you'll be fine.

Bro , I M New To Droid ... Are You Sure It Will Work? I have to go to recovery mode ... Select wipe data ? And then stock?

I think he meant to try reflashing a stock rom in odin again, then try flashing JellyBlast again. Reflashing a stock rom always works, at least for me, despite it being a tedious process.

There is a button is Kies that allows you to manually check for updates. I'd try that first. Also you may uninstall and reinstall Kies with the latest version.

Just download the fine from sammobile and use odem to flash it :thumbup:

[Q] Help in upgrading galaxy note 2 to android 4.3

Hello,
My wife had her Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 repaired at a private lab, they replaced the screen and some chips on the main board.
We received the phone today, and I noticed that the android version is 4.1.1 so I connected the device to KIES on my PC to update the android version to 4.3 but then I got a message on KIES that my phone does not support updates from KIES...
I realy don't know what to do in this situation, can someone PLEASE help me how can I still update to android 4.3 ? maybe download it and use Odin or somethig...
I realy appriciate your help.

Try to check Settings>About Device>Status>Device Status if it says Custom bevause Kies does not allow firmware upgrade if that is set to custom.
Have you verified that 4.3 is out for your country?
You could try to initialize the firmware upgrade through kies by entering your product code and kies will find the right formware for you.
Or you can visit http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ to look for your stock rom.
Hope this helps.

I went to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ but there are no download links. There is only the following message:
"Hotfile has been shudown. A download link to Terafile.co will be presented as soon as the firmware is uploaded. We are busy uploading all files to the new host. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Thats because hotfile.com has been shut down on which sammobile used to host firmware files for all samsung devices and so it will take some time to upload firmwares to a new host site.
Till then you can try 4.3 based roms.

Official samsung 4.3 comes with a new bootloader containing knox void warranty flag which is so far I know is irreversible.
If u r sure u want to have it, u can just get official 4.3 from sammy.
Otherwise, as said earlier, it is good to try 4.3 rom which is knox-free, so u can reverse back anytime to older firmware.
So far dr. Ketan thread guide nd rom for n7100 4.3 rom is safe if u don't like the new bootloader with KNOX.
Knox container functions is good. But the bootloader comes with it is terrible. Choice is urs...

I don't think so. It's a custom rom.
U need to root first nd install cwm, so u won't get ota update from sammy anymore.
But since it is a knoxfree rom, u can always downgrade back to stock 4.1.2 official anytime u like.
There's a complete guide on the thread. Just read carefully nd understand first before u give it a go.

I don't know much about CWM, can you please help me out here...?
I fount 2 CWM Recovery on the play store: MK802 4.0.3 and MK802 4.0.4 and I have no idea which one I need or what to do with it...

summing up the flashing a firmware into 3 major ways
1. via samsung kies .. most secure reliable way .. you keep your warranty no worries no effort ..
2. via pc odin .. you download the files ( vary from official to modded rom be careful here what you are using) then install it on the phone ... need pc nothing more
3. via custom recovery ... (for Note 2 phliz cwm or TWRP ) this are like dos to the windows it let you manage the mobile even if it don't have a system(rom) or even manipulate the current system .... need to be installed via pc odin ..alot of learning but the most efficient and easiest once you get the hang of it but get's you of the official statues of samsung so your warranty is void but that's is reversible
about the knox bootloader if you flashed it and made the statues custom it's irreversible .. you voided the warranty for good that's all to it ..

To be clear...

1.I wish I could use samsung kies, but I can't use because the device already has a custom rom and kies does not recognize it.
2. I don't know a bout any other roms to use with odin and I downloaded dr.ketan's rom but it is not to use with odin.
3. If not kies and not odin, must I use CWM ? or can I not use it because I still don't have any idea what this means and how to use it...

seems your device already rooted..
so you need to know what exactly you want
1. 4.1 or 4.3?
2. custom ROM or stock ROM?
3. do you care about warranty?
think of these. It took me 2 weeks to figure this & i decided to void warranty & use Ditto rom

[Q] Will I lose OTA if I root?

I am thinking of rooting so I can move some apss in the sd card. I am going to keep the stock rom, just root. Now if I do that, wil I lose the OTA updates? I am expecting 4.3 to hit my device any day now, and I dont want to lose it.

yes u can't update thru OTA

Yes you lose all your apps if you don't make a backup first through cwm or something..
And sammobile.com/firmware works just fine. Just download your firmware of your phone and flash via Odin.
