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.

Hey Guys,
Just heard that the update is coming to canada on Wednesday. Will I need to unroot my note 2 for the update to work? Can I use CF method to re root again once the update has completed?

As long as you have stock recovery you are good. However after the update you may loose root, and your device status may say modified unless you factory reset.

Thanks, I guess I will wait until Wednesday to find out. Which root method have you guys used with the multiwindow update?

No ota and kies work through stock recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Ota would not work this morning. It downloaded and attempted to install but once the phine rebooted it said firmware failed to install.

Remove root.
Then install update.
Reapply root.
I'd recommend a custom rom. You get so much more. And it's been multi Window 4.1.2 since October.

Is it okay if I update if I'm rooted and is there any reason not to?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
If you update with kies you will loose your root. You will hate to root it again.
Also, if you have a custom recovery the update will set the stock recovery.
But for the update, the multi windows is nice but not all app are compatible.
That's why I went to a custom rom with unlimited multi window.

So ota ill keep root? I also read the update caused weird battery life
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know for ota because my status was modified and I was not able to get the update. I had a custom recovery, that's why.
For the battery life, I can't help you for this. I kept this rom for about one day and now I run the international "custom" rom with unlimited multi window.

So a couple of weeks ago, I installed a font app which changes the font. When it rebooted, the device was bricked... So I went through the long and tedious process of DL the firmware and flashing stock to my device then getting my phone back to the original state since everything was wiped... Now I have a problem, I can't get ota updates cause it says my device is modified. And I don't understand cause I'm fully stock!!! Check the pictures out with my phone's info but please help.

Stock ROM and recovery? Reset flash counter?
Good thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392
There's no OTA update right now anyway.
Yes it's stock ROM and recovery. And no I did not reset flash counter. To do that, it would have to root again right?

Yeah just root only with CF Auto Root, run TA and go into SuperSU app and choose "Full Unroot" option.
Hey again.. I found some time to do this.. Re-rooted then used TA, went to download mode and it said "samsung official" then went to super su to un-root. After that I went to check in about device and it still says I'm on custom!!! Wtf!

I guess one good thing came out of us getting the last 4.3 update, we are ready and didn't have to learn about Knox the hard way.
I needed to go back to stock to send back with fault.
I flashed rightly or wrongly I still don't know, xxubmj7
When it restarted I had no wifi also I can't get updates it just says it's been modified.
How do I fix wifi?
How do I fix the modified message?
UK phone, baseband is still uamf5 does that make a difference with wifi?
Just need to reflash?
Been looking at xda almost all day trying to find the right answers so sorry if I have missed it.

Reflash AGAIN same rom . Your baseband did not update and your status remained custom
U don`t need repartition
U must reflash 2 3 times until your baseband get updated. After that factory reset your phone and your status will be Official
