Software update via phone - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought my note 2 in germany and while I was at the store it looked like the demo unit had the new split screen software update available.
When I check for a firmware update on my phone it says I am on the latest version but thats not ture. My cirrent version is N7100XXALIE
I do remember during the setup of the phone it asked me what region I would like to select for software updates and I selected USA. I am wondering if that is restricting the update.
Does anyone know how to change the sortware update region to germany?
P.S. I know that I can update it to the latest firmware using ODIN and/or KIES, however I am currently on a 1 year international travel and do not have a computer with me.

Yes choosing USA restricts the software update until the device is released here, you should have chosen UK instead try to change it , and run OTA there will be an update. Then connect the device to KIES it will update to ALJ1 (multitasking)

As far as I know, wipe your phone using the recovery mode and then reboot as normal. You will now see the drop down option to select your country.

Ok i haven't wiped and surprising i just got an update to ALIH. No multitasking yet
I don't want to do a wipe. I spent hours setting this thing up. Never realized how much I rely on titanium backup. Maybe I will look for a computer somewhere and root.
If any one has other suggestions they are welcome!

Got the update today and absolutly love it!

Hello!
I am a german user too. Yesterday I got an update to ALIH over WLAN at home. Today I installed KIES on my latop and got an update to ALJ1.
Now it shows me as Basisbandversion N7100XXALIH and Buildnummer JR003C.N7100XXALJ1.Yesterday when I switched my note on for the first time I checked System Info - both showed me ALIE at
the end.
I really can't interpretate this at the moment becaus I am a newbie with Samsung and Android as well.
Perhaps someone can tell me what this all means.

It just means that you are now on the latest firmware and you have the new multitasking/split screen feature.

[Q] Stock UVLI4 odin image

Does anyone know where I can download a stock UVLI4 odin image? I have searched everywhere on here and used my good friend google but the latest I have found is UVLE1. I tried that one but it only brought me up to 4.0.3 and I'm trying to go back to stock 4.0.4. I'm on the POS Walmart Family Mobile service and I'm guessing that it is messing with my update process because when I try to do an update to 4.0.4,it tells me that there is no updates available. If someone could please help, it would be most appreciated.
Have you tried looking on www.sammobile.com?

Kies is now showing the update but when I try to update, it'll go through the download process but then it'll go back to the main screen, rescan for my phone then tell me that there is a firmware update. I've tried both Kies and Kies Lite as non admin and running it as admin but it still refuses to update my phone.

I'm not sure if that's possible.. I have a feeling there are a lot of model numbers and identifiers that you don't have access to that tell Kies you have the Walmart plan, even if the software works fine with T-Mobile software. It would be near impossible to spoof kies into thinking you had a T989, at least to my knowledge.

kies is always a little funny to update it took 4 times when i did my friends phone he likes it stock n stuff but he doesnt know how to do it so i always do it for him but sometimes gives error and stuff you always have to be over 50% to do and still gives error it will work but if you dont mind doing it the other way its good to :highfive:

How to undo a firmware update?

Hello,
6 days ago I got a software update (about 12MB). After that my internet (3G) has been horrible. I checked with another note2 owner on my same network and he also has the same problem. Was that update a radio update? If so how do I undo it. I'm not rooted (and would really like to stay that way).
My current versions are:
Android: 4.1.2
Baseband: N7100XXDLK7
Kernel:3.031-679347
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I would highly recommend you to not downgrade because there is a high vulnerability of sds in that case.

The SDS upgrade was the big one (Over 120MB) also updated to the new OS. This 13MB update I'm talking about I got only last week. Its a small update, I don't know what it was supposed to update, but it totally fAcked my radio I think.
Then you'll need to flash an older firmware.
Flash any firmware for your country but make sure it is dll7 or later.

Download the update you want to go back to and flash it with Odin. You won't lose data.
The update you got was DMA6. If you want to go back to DLL7 just flash it.
Here's the download link for it.

[Q] Help needed urgently..no 3g?

Hi everybody,
This is my first post on this forum, I am writing as I am in desperate help to help solve my issue with my note 2. I am on Tmobile in the UK. I rooted and installed a custom rom. My 3g signal disappeared. So I tried to go back to stock firmware, which I did. But I have made a mistake and installed a 'three' network firmware (4.2.1) and I am still unable to receive 3g signal? Does anybody have any idea as to where I have gone wrong or how to get my internet back?
Thanks in advance
Danny
Go to setting - wireless (more) - mobile network - access point names
Now if you can see any apn there open it and delete
Then select menu key-restore to defaut
If it doesn't work
You can ask operator for it
Or manually copy from others who have working 3g and have same operator
Or
Select toolbox in my signature and find last tool and try that.

Thanks so much for the reply. I tried deleting the APN...and then resetting it but it just put back on the exact one that I deleted. I clicked on your toolbox link...what is it that i have to download from there? I am completely baffled as to what to do. I mean I am on a tmobile contract, so am confused as to why I am now on the three network firmware? Would that have something to do with it?
If I can get it back to tmobile stock then I could take it into store and let them sort it I suppose.
Thanks
Yes download that you may find correct apn from its database for your network and you can manually copy it.

I am using the GT-N7100 on Tmobile. I saw a video that said you could put any network carrier firmware on to the phone by flashing it on Odin. I did that but it was with the three network firmware 4.2.1. So obviously when the phone boots it has the three logo etc. I am trying to find a stock 4.2.1 tmobile firmware, so I can flash that onto the phone....hopefully see if that sorts the 3g problem and if it doesnt I can atleast take the phone into tmobile and get the problem sorted without them asking questions.
I have been on Sammobile.com for firmwares...does tmobile firmware come under the code 'BTU'?
Edit
Sorry it's not Germany
N7100 don't have tmobile i think
Its not have different model?
Wait someone on tmobile answer it

You are a diamond. I will download and flash it over and see what happens.
Thanks
If that works for you, then just note apn setting manually and later flash any latest 4.1.2 rom for unbranded
And if your 3g won't work just put it manually, but I think unbranded should work.
I am saying this bcoz rom you are downloading having two serious bug.
Exploit
SDS
And very dangerous and can brick your device.

Meantime check your apn and correct following field if that is different than mentioned below

I flashed the firmware onto my phone but it has been stuck on the boot logo for over half an hour now. I have run out of ideas. I will keep searching for the tmobile firmware.
Sorry...the phone has finally booted and is now working and back. 3g is online too!!! Thankyou so much for the help!
Gld to know you sorted out it
anyway,whenever phone stuck after flashing ROM, first step to follow is wipe cache and data from recovery.

So I am assuming you have an AT&T S3. If so are you currently running 4.1.1? If so it probably recognized that there is an update to 4.1.2...or it was just randomly checking.
Yes it is at&t but im on 4.1.2 there isn't another update that just got released is there?

I am on 4.1.2 and there are no other current updates that I know of. The AT&T software update may have been simply polling the server to check for one. I am not really sure. I have disabled the app service with TiBu so I don't have to worry about it.
Well I clicked on it and it said there is an update available, im afraid to download because this is not stock its modified stock. Can I just remove the update app using titanium backup?
