Hello everyone I have a questions about OTA.
I recently rooted my phone (n7100) using exynos-abuse and installed spenboard switcher by copying the .apk in the /system/app folder everying is working fine but now i get an OTA notification, download goes without any problem but install fail (tried 3 times).
I don't think the root itself is the problem since i got an OTA after rooting but before the installation of Spen board switcher without any problem.
The status on the device is still normal so i'm wondering if the installation of the .apk can be the problem (i made a try after removing the .apk but still no succes) is there something I miss ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

im in the same boat as u i guess, got the update downloaded but wont complete update keeps researching for an update.
rooted stock rom as well.
i think we need to go samifirmware and re download the stock rom flash via odin, but we will loose all data???
Flashing official ROM with Odin won't erase data. though i highly recommend backup, in case you get bootloop you may need to wipe.
Yep right.
It's recommend to do a factory reset then
Flash stock rom

I tried a few times to update to 4.1.2 via OTA but it fails half way through, so today i decided to update via odin.
before i updated i'd thought i will remove the root for some stupid reason.
applied the update and everything went well. Re-rooted my phone via odin and cf auto root but no SuperSU. installed it from the play shop but it kept crashing all the time!!!!!! so it cant do anything.
Re-flashed the new firmware but the SuperSU icon is there but eveytime i click on it im getting "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
Can do i install it again?
Did you re root after re flash?

Factory reset. Once it asks language pull out the battery then put it back and flash stock rom.

there has to be a better way than that. i will lose all my apps, settings, data, etc!
Well backup apps with adb. Or make a nand. Titanium backup can extract backups from nands.

Well here is the problem .
I was in the university when I noticed the latest update is available for n7100! so I started to download it with my 3g connection downloaded about 10 mb and I noticed that I dont have enough airtime credit left to download it so I canceled the download. When I got home I tried to download it with wifi connection and it says it's the latest update what do I do I want the update sooo bad
Can any one who installed the update give some info about the os version and new features ?
Is there a flashable file of the new rom?
" Don't tell me that was a false update message and there is no such thing for now my heart can't handle that "

can't do that 3000 mb of download my budget can't handle that ! can't i just find latest upgrade files and flash them through recovery or odin ?
There used to be the OTA files update only available on sammobile, however I don't know if they're available anymore or not.
Secondly, it's not possible to say what has been upgraded until we don't know on what version you were/are atm, and what will be the updated version.
And lastly, when you are doing things like this, you need to have an unlimited plan or something.

Take backup of important data and factory reset, it may solve issue. But you have to download update again and rarely I have experienced still fails to update. In such cases kies/odin only can solve.

I'm having the same issue. Phone declares it is modified when it reboots, so it is related to being rooted. Been investigating to no avail.
Have fiddles with triangle away settings and SuperSU's survival mode.
Finally got there. Unfroze all frozen apps with Titanium backup, uninstalled busybox, xposed framework etc - i.e. used option in app to remove from rom. Not sure which of these got it working.
Killed off my root, but CF autoroot again and all is good. New rom seems more responsive initially, will have to see about battery life etc in the long term.
Update: The wifi would not work after update. Flashed afresh using kies, and all sorted.

i only got Awesome Beats and
fully functional (all apps) multi window (the APK version)!! actually may be this one is causing the problem ??? after the factory reset the app is gone but i still got the full MW and i've got no idea how to get back to the stock one ?!! maybe i need a fresh rom !!
Been searching and I can't figure this out.
I have a rooted S3 and I can't get 4.1.2 OTA.
I also have no access to a PC I can install Kies on.
What is another solution to getting the update on a rooted S3?
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, you can just flash a debloated stock 4.1.2 ROM from the development section.

Yeah I have CWM recovery.
This shouldn't mess with settings right? the reason I haven't messed with ROMs on this one is because it's all set up like I like it.
EDIT: NV can't flash with Odin. I have a Chromebook. I need a zip to send over Kies air and flash through CWM

I never recommend dirty flashing (flashing one ROM over another, especially when updating to a newer version of android) it eventually just leads to problems and you'll have to start over again sooner or later.
If you do it the right way, you will have to re-setup the ROM again, pictures, music and files like that will be fine but you'll lose all of your settings.
If you do decide to flash ROMs, before you do, search how to backup your imei, you'll be glad you did if you ever lose it.

It's stock rooted is all, don't want to delete everything just for 4.1.2.
I'll keep searching but it would be easiest to find the update zip file, especially since I won't have access to Odin or anything else to back stuff up and flash in an efficient way
EDIT:
Would sending this zip to the sdcard and apply update through CWM work?

That's the firmware for Odin it looks like. If you want you can just download the OTA from my firmware thread. Flash in CWM and it should work and allow you to preserve root. Probably the easiest way to get what you want. If you can use Odin from another computer, root66 is definitely preferred, but there's more than one way to do it.
I agree about the dirty flashing, for the most part. Since you are simply updating the stock firmware, you should be fine. Clean is better of course, but it's up to you. Without starting clean.you do run the risk of having issues down the road, and then you wouldn't even know why.
If you decide to try the OTA, please take a few min to read what I've got there.

My note 2 is on 4.1.2 (non-rooted) and I am India and I have got 4.3 OTA update. I downloaded and while flashing, at 35%, it got stopped and booted up to 4.1.2
So, i downloaded the ota again, and flashed. It got stopped at 24%.
So, I decided to update via kies. I started downloading the FW, but the download is stuck at 0% and yes, I have a pretty good internet connection!
what to do? If I go the ODIN way, will it delete my internal memory too????? This is the only thing stopping me from flashing 4.3 via ODIN. Also, i will have to Factory reset after flashing via ODIN which i dont want too :/
Any other solution or ODIN to the rescue?

Search here on xda as 'pre rooted 4.3 firmware for n7100' something like that, you'll find some thread. Download one from there and flash via odin. There is also no wipe version I think, which will not erase your internal memory.

Is there any non rooted firmware?
Because my dad uses that phone and he doesn't want any root or things like that. So that is why I don't know about firmwares and things about this forum.
I was doing some search and came up with this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536423
is this okay to update? will this wipe my phone?
In most possibilities YES.
Infact it is recommended that you take backup of your important data and let internal memory get wiped. It will save you some future headaches.
