[Q] - Searching for updates, nothing happends. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
Got the Note 2, rooted it, just to test. And then I went back to stock rom, recovery and reset counter.
But now when I search for updates it only searches, nothing happends. Is this something to worry about?
Edit: Turned of wlan and mobiledata, and it still only searches.

Its not rooted anymore, and even if so there is no updates, it should say so, not just in a never ending searching loop.
But anyway, got it to work when I reset the phone.

Is your status in settings, about the phone saying Normal or Modified?

Samsung OTA stuck on reboot

I got the update message (41.2) MB.
It is being downloaded and verifies.
I then select to restart & install.
The phone starts booting, but stays on the Google logo for a very long time (more than half an hour).
To try the update again I have to take the battery out, restart the phone (which shows 4.0.2), clear Google Services Framework and check for update.
The updates download etc. etc.
My phone is not rooted and it had no problem in the past updating OTA to 4.0.2
Thanks
So you are trying to update "YAKJUXW" 4.0.2 to 4.0.4?
hmm.. have you flashed any custom kernel or another radio baseband and are you using custom Clockworkmod..?
try to make backup of the 4.0.2 if possible (move to somewhere PC, hardware,..) and then make factory reset and try then update it to 4.0.4

No. Nothing like this.
I will try the factory reset if I can't fix it without it.
Thanks

I've been experiencing same. Bought GalNex from (apparently) Poland before Play store. It is yakjuxw. Past two weeks it's tried to update itself 3 times and just sits at (white) Google on black screen for a very long time.
I actually have to remove battery to recover. Then all is well, but no firmware update and if i follow reddit.com's -> ysk_how_to_get_the_404_ota_quicker to "force" the update, same result.
Did your factory reset solve the problem?
oh4real
No resolution
Sorry, I did nothing so far. I'm still on 4.0.2.
When I get the time, I'm likely to move on to a rooted yakju.
If you do manage to resolve it, please tell us.
Thanks

[Q] Issues with OTA 4.2 Update

Hey there all,
I have a fully-stock Samsung GNex from the play store. Its trying to update me to 4.2 (if that's the right number... the newest ota.) Every time it tries to do this, it gets to about 25% before popping to a screen with the android lying down, with a red triangle and exclamation point. Everything I can find on Google relates to custom roms and recovery. Mine is 100% stock, and still doing it. What gives? Will post more info if requested... wasn't sure what to give, so...
Thanks in advance!

If you are absolutely, positively, 100% stock then you should have no issues. Never used a toolkit to root or unlock anything at all?
Regardless, if you care to learn a bit about your phone, you could start here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170 and learn to manually apply the update, or another custom rom for that matter.

I'm all for custom Roms, but I'm trying to keep this stock. No root, no ROM, no recovery. It is 100% stock. And if it should be fine, why isn't it?

Eternal search for software update. Normal?!

Hi there.
Last night, before going to bed I just for curiosity entered Configuration>Software Update and started a search. It just searched forever and now in the morning after waking up I turned my Note II screen on to check if the search was ended. So guess. Yeah, it was, after a lot of hours, still searching!
So, what's going on?! It's just with the Brazilian official ROM or Samsung servers are offline or buggy?!
You are rooted. ..device is modified? ... even with triangle away. .. it happens
handwritten from my note 2 (N7100)
Yes, I'm rooted! CF method, using stock kernel and counter "cleaned" using Triangle Away.
I read about the impossibility of updating over the air, but didn't know that even search wouldn't work.

No matter what I tried, device status would always be Modified, and update check would run forever. So for what I can say, it's "normal".
Sent and typofied with Note II
Yeah, my status is also "Modified"!
At least it's okay in the download mode info!
So without triangle, but just rooted it still won't update?
This is not good! So now I am stuck with an OS which doesn't update the errors which are still inside.
I was of the opinion that rooting (without CMW) and triangle away would still make the updates work!
So rerooting won't work?
I have KeepRoot, but that won't change a thing, right?
btw. This was the reason I had to flash my HTC One X...

Guys, one simple solution for the issue:
Enable the last option in Triangle Away: "System Modified Workaround"
Then just reboot and do the search, it will work. =)

[Q] Blue LED and no screen :(

tl;dr I have a blue LED showing up in the top left of the phone and nothing showing up on the screen after the SAMSUNG logo appears. I do hear the Sprint 4G LTE music, but that's it. The screen is off.
NOTE: I'm running Sprint's stock 4.1.1 ROM rooted.
Other threads I looked at (neither is the same issue):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581929
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792477
I had my first OTA update appear today. When I ran the update, Clockwork showed up and upon hitting "Yes", it failed. I looked around online and found this guide to reverse my rooting: http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore.html
I was able to successfully flash TeamEpic-RemoveRoot-from-Recovery-signed.zip, but I didn't hit the keys right for the next one and ended up booting into the OS.
After restarting the phone, I hit the right keys and started ODIN. I saw COM show up in blue and put the TeamEpic-Sprint-SGS3-stock-boot-and-recovery.tar.md5 file in the PDA area then hit Start. I got a green PASS and then closed Odin and waited.
The phone had a black screen with that blue LED in the top left. I waited a while and then just powered it off. Took out the battery and tried again, same thing; although, the SAMSUNG logo does show up. It turns off when the Sprint part is supposed to show and at that moment I can hear the audio but the screen turns off. In this mode, the phone gets very very hot.
I can still boot into the stock recovery, but I can't do much else.
I just wanted the OTA . Does anyone know what might be happening?
EDIT: I put Clockwork Recovery back on, and then Advanced Recovered the boot part of a backup I did before this mess. Surprisingly, that worked. Problem is, I still haven't gotten the OTA working.
Ideas?

Why are you so intent on taking the OTA? Freeza has a stock rooted ROM over in his thread. And if you want just update the baseband, just flash the "MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update" file in the aforementioned thread.
If you're already rooted with a custom recovery (which you were/are), there's no reason to unroot just to flash the OTA. Freeza typically has his stock rooted ROM updated with the OTA within a week of it being released. In my area OTAs are kind of late, so he typically gets it out before I even see the notification.
So, in summary. OTAs are not required, XDA (and Freeza in particular) has you covered.

I'll go ahead and give it a try then. I haven't ever had a ROM update since I got the phone in October so I figure the upgrade won't work right, and I'll need the full ROM. Currently doing a backup.
Does flashing a ROM affect all app settings? And if so, by that point I'd just wanna have another ROM. The main reason I am fine w/ the stock ROM rooted is bc all my settings and apps are already installed and configured as well as the fact that I know it will work properly. So if this removes my settings, no reason to go stock anymore aside from the fact that I've seen that CyanogenMod doesn't get as good of signal on the S III as stock-based ROMs. Do you know if this still true?

Strange. I upgraded the ROM by flashing, everything seemed to work as I'm at 4.1.2 now, but the Upgrade notification is still there for some reason. Is there any way to tell the phone it's been upgraded?

If you dirty flash the rom over whatever you had before, it should not affect any settings

A dirty flash is when you flash without clearing anything, and that's why no data is lost when you do one of those. However it can lead to issues, so i would advise against it when possible

Yeah, last time I did that, the system wouldn't boot.

Anyone have this issue?

So last night, I guess my phone was trying to download and install security update from samsung and failed. My battery died later cause it was low and after I recharged my phone and turned it on, my phone literally took a crap. Everything crashes even settings. Cant send a text out. Bluetooth wont turn on etc.
Now after I back up my photos somehow, what would be the best way to restore to keep root and CWM?
Settings-restore?
dl note 3 os then flash with CWM?
Thanks guys.
Hmmmm

I did have a similar issue. My quick fix wasn't so quick though. I completely formatted, flashed stock ROM back, chainfire root, CWM to bootloader then you're free. I got my files from galaxynote3root.com

So its weird, after I let the phone stay on for like an hour, everything seems to load properly and nothing crashes. Planning on reformatting, but I am kind of worried on why this happened. I am on stock rom.

It's possible during your update critical files were missed do to power loss and were replaced on reboot? I unfortunately was not able to get passed the bootscreen to recovery or the system itself. So i was forced to divert back to stock firmware and start from the beggining. So if you run into any more issues you might start there. If you kept root all should be well i believe. :good:
