Can't Update OTA or using Kies, Help Please - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am rooted using stock rom. I have ran triangle away and that does not help. When using Kies I get several different errors. One is an Admin error, I am running my pc as administrator so that can't be it. The other warning is stating that I have a modified phone. the Update that is available for me is an OTA with this info:
PDA:LJ3 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC:LJ4 (BTU)
I would really appreciate some help!! Thanks

Unrooting using DooMLord's method did not erase kernel version's string

Hi, I had a galaxy w i8150,
baseband version: I8150DXKJ5
build nr: gingerbread.DXKJ5
droid version: 2.3.5
my kernel version: 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXKJ5-CL692718 [email protected] #3
I've rooted using DooMLorD's method of easy root toolkit.....
I try the OTA update to get the latest 2.3.6 from samsung but failed (probably due to being rooted)
Also using Kies failed.....
So I tried to unroot the phone using DooMLorD's method as well....since it's quite simple...
it was successful.....but then I noticed the kernel version was not updated to remove "[email protected] #3" part....
then when I tried to use OTA to update to 2.3.6 again it failed......
I currently re-rooted using DooMLorD's script....anyone can help provide a quick and simple guide for me to go to 2.3.6 official stocked rom?
Flash with Odin
this thread has everything you need:

you can start solving problems by reading the forums
thanks for the fast reply,
having read thru the thread you provided,
I still cant figure out which is the stocked official 2.3.6 ROM
Seems only these are available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21875828&postcount=2
none of them are the code I'm looking for which is I8150DXKL1
is it not possible to upgrade to official ROMs anymore after I rooted the phone?
What error does Kies give?
It usually fails only due to mismatch of Product Code with Phone FW.....so, if I still Original Stock FW....should not fail!!!
Except, Kies sucks, and you will be able to flash newest FW with ODIN.
Also, try Check Fus from Market.....it will check for latest FW....and allow Dl to flash with ODIN.

Kies just says update failed with unexpected error....-_-"
indeed Kies sux....
am trying to download the firmware now from sammobile.com
however due to slow internet connection and hotfile's time out limit, keep disconnected...darn.....will try this "Fus" u mentioned...thanks
I ask about Kies failure becoz sometimes, nearly always, Kies does indeed download the full update.....
and stores it for download to your phone, in a temp folder.
If Kies upgrade fails, this FW will still be on your PC, as per this guide:
How to Backup Firmware from Kies Upgrade Process.....
You could then flash this with ODIN.
I had a humble contribution there......
On my PC, after failed Kies Upgrade, I looked for the downloaded FW, and found it, as below:
I used your guide above to find the Kies firmware upgrade download folder, which is still on my PC....
in a folder called .......C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3325.tmp.zipfolder
Here are two files,
I8150XXKK1_I8150METKK1_I8150XXKK1_HOME.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll

Click to collapse
If you have a failed Kies upgrade, you may still have the upgrade .tar file, and it can be flashed with ODIN.
wow cool info, thanks....anyway I've downloaded thru Check Fus downloader you suggested earlier anyway ;-) thanks a lot for all the useful info.....gonna try using ODIN flash soon when I have the time, thanks!
for the benefit of simplicity, I've added my android rooting pack.zip file in this post so anyone can simply download it and have all the exe needed for rooting and also for flashing firmware after rooted....and also for unrooting....
I've added guides from this forum saved as html so one don't have to go online to read
all this is made possible thanks to irishpancake for suggesting CheckFus downloader
THE-E for posting all the great and useful guide on rooting/unrooting and also posting the files necessary for flashing
all of the files I've downloaded and used for rooting/unrooting/flashing to latest official firmware are zipped in the attached file....
so one time download of this zip is sufficient for future firmware upgrade & re-rooting + unrooting using the recovery method....
Good stuff raysky.....and very helpful
ur very welcome!!

[Q] KIES firmware initialization doesn't work

It would appear that the latest version of Kies won't allow you to restore the stock firmware on an I317 device. It does however recognize it and shows the latest firmware. Once you try to reinstall the factory firmware, it tells you that you have custom software and won't proceed. I've even run Triangle Away and reset the firmware counter to 0.
Anyone else have a different experience or get this to work?
(My AT&T I317 is rooted and has the TWRC recovery installed).

There may be your answer. Uninstall custom recover, then use triangle away, that use SU to unroot and then try?
Possibly but thats not the behavior that Kies exhibited on the i717 .

You need to unroot. Use triangle away to reset counter and then flash stock again and then factory reset. If your not rooted then I dont know.

Since you've rooted you will not be able to update official firmwares from samsung through kies or OTA.
If you still require to update through kies first you've to unroot and the device status to normal. Follow the below instructions and you'll be fine.
1) installed pre-rooted firmware or root it again
2) Use Triangle away to reset counter Mod
3) Use titanium backup to wipe data from Enterprise Sysscope and Sysscope ( Sysscope may be frozen so, de-frost it and then wipe data).
4) Format the Ext SD card as it may contain some backups which might trigger the modified status
5) Use Root explorer to delete busybox from system/xbin/busybox (Since full Unroot will not delete busybox, the Sysscope will scan the phone for this after boot and change the Status to modified)
6) Full unroot using Super user
7) Reboot and enjoy
Hi All,
I'm facing a similar issue on my Note II.
I used Dr Ketan's guide to root and reverted the firmware to a UK stock early this year but has since gotten a
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"
My device is now unrooted and counter is reset (status is normal).
According to my research, this could be due to a CSC mismatch but can't find anything wrong with it.
This is what I'm on at the moment,
AP: N7100XXDME6
CP: N7100XXDMF1
CSC: N7100OXDMF1
It's the lastest UK stock firmware but I had to install it using Odin instead of Kies.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
That's strange, i have a rooted phone, made with chainfire autoroot method, and i just upgrade the firmware with kies without any trouble. No unroot and no wipe before update. It's a stock firmware with root.

Try using * # 272 * your IMEI #
This will pop up a list of CSC. Choose your original one and it should be okay.
Note: Changing the CSC using this method will factory reset your phone without any warning
Download and install Kies 3. Connect the phone. Kies will inform you that the connection failed. Leave the device plugged in and go to the menu bar, tools, reinstall device drivers. Leave the phone connected while the device drivers reinstall and it should work from there.

[Q] Original Rogers Rom for SGH-I467M

Hello. I am trying to unroot my device. I fully unrooted the device through the settings in SUPER SU. I tried to update the firmware at this point and it still says modified. I factory reset the system, and I still receive the modified firmware.
From my understanding, the only way to get back to stock firmware is to flash it using ODIN. Is there any other way?
If I am correct, I have searched high and low for the stock firmware for Rogers for the I467M. Where can I download this?
Thanks for your help!

How do I install 4.4.4 when KNOX is tripped and I get the annoying cant update bc mod

I need some help downloading the new software update.
I get an error when I try the software update.
Is there anything I can do to update to the new formware?
What program or method are you using to try and update your phone?
If you have rooted your phone you won't be able to do the over the air update. I would suggest going here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and downloading the newest version for your phone. Use Odin to flash it in the phone section. That's the AP line. This will install the update for you. Then you will have to root your phone again.
Or I have mega links in general section to avoid sammobiles crappy 100kb speed
What does your device status say?

I used Samsung Kies 3 and did a "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" under Tools and that brought me up from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 while being rooted.
I did this same method on a 4.3 firmware non-rooted. It took it from 4.3 to 4.4.4. I hope this will help you.
