I think you will need to be back on stock with a stock recovery. I tried flashing an ota a while ago when was stock rooted and it failed at 25% or somewhere in there

Yes and you need to be unrooted as well. You can use OTA Rootkeeper from the market to temp un-root, take OTA and the re-root.
I have the stock recovery, and I do have that app. I'll give it a go.

Where would one pick up just the stock recovery that they had in UVLH2?

If you have Mobile Odin you can load up the whole FW and then pick only recovery to flash.
Also Cybernook has a stock recovery a few threads down, but we are not sure which version it is.
Or if you can wait just a bit ill get it uploaded and get out the link.

Thanks!

The OTA isn't available to everyone yet. My phone is stock and not rooted and the OTA doesn't show up yet.

I'm rooted and status says im modified... how can I get this update without plugging in Kies?
I think we will need to unroot, then do the update via ota.

Rooting stock 4.1.2

I know I can flash any custom ROM I want now or the rooted/odexed version of the 4.1.2 OTA, but just for a little while I'd like to keep the flash counter at zero.
I'm still on 4.1.1 because I just got my phone 2 days ago, and I flashed the non-tripping stock root odin package before I even turned my phone on. But now I see there's an update for 4.1.2 (that someone said has multiview???) and I was wondering if there's a way to get to 4.1.2 and root it without tripping the flash counter.
Ideas?
Exynos abuse exploit. Google search it after you take the update. Download it and run it.

I'm not questioning you (thanks by the way), but I thought the 4.1.2 update was specifically to fix that issue. Was that not for the Note II?

What android version are you on?
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
4.1.1
baseband UCALJ2
TRYING to install kies to see if that works, but it's giving me **** too.
Edit: It at least "tried" to update now but said update failed immediately upon the first restart... could my root be f-ing it up?
Anyone?

Get the update.zip file and copy to your cache directory .
Go into recovery mode (vol up +home+power) → flash from cache. and done ...It won't wipe your data... . .and you will get you multiview.
From your previous comment. ..don't worry about custom rom count. .it can be easily rest via triangleaway.

Try recovery mode →clear cache ..Then copy update zip into cache. .som3 people suggest full unroot before runing the update..try that. I ran the update.zip in my wifes phone today with this method.

Use the exynos abuse apk to quickly root. Quick question, are you using stock recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. I did the cache wipe thing and it still showed the error

Exynox can root easily.. just copy the .apk to your phone and install app and root..takes 30 seconds..once rooted follow above.

Did. Still gave me the error when flashing in recovery. Also the root is like not working completely. Some apps don't ask for permission and so I can't give it to them.
Edit: bought supersu pro and it worked nicely. (the root acess, flashing still doesn't work)

Lol
Btw if I try to update will it brick my phone???
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
No no it won't brick but just say it failed to update and once again you try to check update it may constantly check for update or may notice you server is busy or something.

You have to have status official and binary count 0 for it to work.

Use kies to update if it's not working from your phone.
