Hi guys.
I have just received my new Galaxy Note II. Live in Denmark, and on the box it says "approved for nordic operators".
I don't have the multiview function. Holding the back arrow doesn't activate anything, and there is no menu option I haven't turned on, as far as I see.
I heard this was a problem with European models, but I also read that Samsung had issued an update to fix it.
According to the phone, I have the newest software version.
I tried to upgrade firmware via Kies. Updated Kies. Tried both on my PC and Mac. The only message I get is that my device does not support firmware update via Kies. Very annoying.
I made some search on the net, I even tried Kies mini, but without effect.
Does anyone have an idea about what I should try?
I post a screenshot of my system information.
Thanks a lot. Take care.

Not exactly sure how to help you but I'm sure it's probably that the update isn't available in your region. I could be wrong but the only way I know of at this point in time to fix this is to root and manually download and apply the update.
The update has been available in Spain just today. They are releasing it in different countries at different times, maybe to avoid problems with their servers.
Just wait a couple of days more.

I was thinking about:
1. downloading the update from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100
2. and following these directions:
http://www.todroid.com/update-samsu...elly-bean-firmware-xxalj1-multi-view-feature/
Do you think this can hurt/brick the phone or cause problems?
Thanks,

I upgraded to one of the firmwares found on that link but never got the multi-window. Wasted time .

Oh! You had to hold back button for it to appear!

Hmm, does this mean it worked for you? Did you actually follow those links? Which update version did you choose? Which country do you live in?
I had the same problem, just flashed a uk rom.
I contacted Samsung. They told me that the update would arrive in about 2-3 weeks.

Hey guys,
A couple of hours ago I received the 4.2 update.
I have the Canadian version. I am running stock Android 4.1.2, flashed to Yakju. I am also rooted with CWM.
The update downloaded fine, however it gave me the infamous "error status 7" when it installing/flashing. When I rebooted and tried to check for update again it didn't give me the update notification .. So I am still on 4.1.2
I just thought I would share the news with ya all that it's out. If you guys know how I can get that notification again, or know where the update downloads on my device let me know and I will share the OTA here.
Cheers,

You need to do it BEFORE you apply the update if you get the notification again.
yeah I've gotten that error a couple times
official updates don't work unless your on a completely stock setup, from what i understand.
I downloaded the takju 4.2 factory image from the official page and flash it.
love the new camera
Im Just about to takju my nexus,
lets see some yakju tgz's :silly:
yeah dude, nice one, thanks for not using logcat before you clicked update to get the url... karma got you for not sharing link, not you're stuck on 4.1.2 again like us!

we can help you but WE NEED THE OTA OURSELVES!!!!
All you have to do is, before you even CLICK THE UPGRADE BUTTON, BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD IT, LOOK IN THE LOG AND GIVE US THE OTA LINK. We still haven't got yakju, we're all waiting desperately, the least you could do is to share the link to the OTA file with everyone here refreshing posts!
PLEASE. IF YOU GET AN UPDATE NOTIFICATION, DON'T TOUCH THE BUTTON AND DO THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21025378&postcount=27
once we get the link for it we can help you!!!
can you grab the update link
here is how to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21025378&postcount=27
Lol I swear I didn't know how to ... And yes I have been trying to update it for the past while now but no luck.
I finally flashed one of the stock roms (bigxie) from the developers section and it seems fine so far
Sorry guys, will keep that in mind next time!

..if you want stock why not just flash the factory 4.1.2 image? It'll be faster to get 4.2 anyway than AOSP roms...
even better, flash the takju 4.2 fatory imageonto your yakju phone. Have heard it works fine but remember to backup your data
great, waiting for stock rom.
Do you know this?

That's only for factory images and are usually released after OTA availability i.e. it's slower
I am trying since morning. No success. I do not see many people getting it. Looks like we have to wait for a day or two.
BTW i sideloaded 4.2 on my N7 so the eagerness is little less now

Nope, this one is takju.
I'll get to the point, I wanted to root my Note 2 since i was very excited to have it. But after root i noticed i couldnt access phone memory it said i had -10????????????? bytes something along those lines. And i couldnt even access my sd card even when plugged to computer. So i decided to flash a stock rom, this is where the problem is, I'm new to odin and samsung so i have no idea what i was doing and i messed up my phone.I can only get into download mode everything else says to try kies recovery again.
I've checked many threads and tried following the steps they give but odin just gives me fail fail fail. It's a headache.
Anyone willing to help in this matter? I have the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100.
Apologies for making this long and not sure if this is the correct place to post this thread, just need help. Thank you.

Hi Dr Ketan, I know nothing about my note 2 but what I do know is that I have an N7105T (LTE) variant because I live in Australia.
Basically what I would like to do is to take off the official Australian rom that is on my note 2 and put on the official Philippines rom instead.
I want to do this because I cannot control the shutter sound on this rom, and Samsung has removed the radio app which I used all the time, also the contact pictures do not exist in the official messaging app (not ghosts they're not there at all). I would like all of these functions on my phone and my friend who bought one from the Philippines online has all of these functions.
I have downloaded odin 3.7 and I have the samsung drivers installed.
could you or anyone please tell me where I have to go to download the correct Philippines N7105 rom from and then give me a step by step on how to back and and flash the new rom?
Thanks so much, please asume I know nothing and include all steps no matter how minor!
Read first post of link i said, there is link for n7105 same kind of thread.
You may get rom there or find on sammobile.com

I'm rooted running 4.1.2 ma4, I have an update but it keeps failing, first it was bc I had twrp recovery. Flashed the stock recovery but it still fails. And it won't let me try again for 24 hours. What should I do? Can someone post a stock rooted ver I can flash? I can't find the update in my phone or id flash it myself. Been trying for a few days since I can only try once a day lol.
Plz help before I pull the rest of my hair out.

What is in the update that's worth pulling your hair out? My experience with these minor updates is that they push more at&t bloatware.
So no one can help me? I realize it may not be important to u but I want the update. That's why I posted, not to get criticized

The update is just probably a few minor changes. Most likely it'll be a modem upgrade. Especially if you just got the phone! Latest modem is the MC3. But you can look HERE:

Also being here you have to expect to get a lil criticism:what:, that's just how some ARE. Not realizing that we're all DIFFERENT

I wasn't criticizing you, I was trying to help you get a better perspective on the situation so your hair could stay where it should. No one else is getting an upgrade notice that I've seen posted on xda.
I'm thinking its an error. Go to settings, application manager, at&t software update, and clear cache or data, then see if you still get notified. Other models of phones got notified, but it was an error on the server.
Att software update app is greyed out and I can't click anything. It has an,! Mark by the app too. Can someone post a clean apk maybe? Or any other ideas?

Rooted MA4 will of course take the update to MC3..using the stock recovery...but only if the device is clean ...and the counter is reset..
I've had the same error multiple times....and could only get around it by pushing the rooted MA4 build from Mr. Robinson's thread...then running triangle away to reset the counter ...and then resetting the device to factory in the 3e recovery contained in the rooted build...
I hope this helps you ...g

Can someone tell me where it downloads to, so maybe I can flash a custom recovery and flash it that way? Since it's a small update will I loose root?
Edit: I have it downloaded and postponed, I have looked everywhere with root Explorer with no luck.
If someone does tell me where it is, can I flash back to TWRP or CWM and flash it that way? Its doing the same thing another guy who posted said, it acts like it's working fine then at %25 it fails and reboots then won't let me try for another day. If anyone could please help before the postponed timer runs out I would be so thankful. I have been battling this for almost 2 weeks.

No one? I haven't found a thread that has an Odin file with the latest update. I guess I will revert to bone stock, no root. Update. Then root again. That seems my only way out unless someone chimes in, hint hint lol.

As I said before, there isn't an update. The notification was an error. Many devices got the notification message, but there was no update.
Wouldn't there be a thread about it if there was?
OBTW the Mr. Robinson thread is like the 16th thread in the development forum.
Yea the current is mc3 and I'm on ma4 so there is an update, I read this from AT&Ts website
Edit. Ok I'm confused.. On xda the ma4 threads are newer. But if u read this it says mc3 is latest

Any way you look at it, its not an important update. Like I said, most likely increased at&t bloat. You probably can't update because you're current. Hmmm. . .
Just wondering if I can update to OC6 over Samsung Kies. I'm not currently on the States and I already know that I'm not getting any updates over the air since there is no AT&T service here.
My phone came out of the box with Lollipop (COC4), and I have never tried to downgrade it, if anybody has a alternate way to update it to OC6, it would be really nice to know more about it !!

I literally just helped someone with this issue in another thread. It was kind of off-topic, so I'm not going to blame you for not seeing it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-att-note-4s-ship-lollipop-oc5-t3189614/page4
Simply put, Kies will always show that the ATT Note 4 is up to date, when it isn't. I don't know EXACTLY why, but it has to do with ATT being the ones releasing the final version of the firmwares, rather than Samsung.
Anyway, you have to use Odin. Read my conversation starting from the link above. There, you'll find more info as well as a link to the Odin file for the latest firmware.
If you get stuck somewhere, PM me.

Hi guys are you still here? A friend of mine bought a 910a from US and he can not update it because of the known issues (not ATT sim card). I saw this thread and you made me very happy . But please can you describe the exact process you made so as not to destroy his phone ? :confused :fingers-crossed: I am aware of rooting etc but I prefer to destroy mine phones not my friends'. Also his is going to use it in greece
