My Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 was rooted.
According to current "About device"
Android version - 4.1.1
Baseband version - N7100DXALJ1
Kernel version 3.0.31-310959
Build number - JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3
It automatically did software update download by OTA last night and notification shows "Firmware downloaded"
What shall I do? Do update to official one?
If yes, what will happen to my rooted condition? What about the binary counter? (I made it 0 by triangle away after it was rooted.)
If no, how shall I remove notification?
Thank you.

It will remove the root, but you can re-root again easily. However, if it's updating to 4.1.2 then maybe hold off. There are numerous posts here stating the 4.1.2 update causes noticeable battery drain. I reverted back from a custom 4.1.2 ROM due to this.
If that's not an issue, an official OTA update will be fine and it won't affect your binary counter.

Thank you for your information.
It is updating to 4.1.2. So, I will wait.
However, I found "Firmware downloaded" on notification bar. How shall I delete it?
Interesting, as any of my phones that were rooted, none of them proceeded with the download as it was denied. Indeed they would see the OTA update but upon accepting it I would get "device has been modified" or something.
You must have had some luck)

I am sure you can but you will need to download the official stock ROM for your handset and flash again using ODIN. Best check with people who are more 'in the know' on here though first.
Samsung are making it harder for us people messing around with their phones.
I have the same problem. The OTA update didn't roll out on my phone yet and Samsung Kies tells me I have the latest version. However, my device status says normal and I've checked my flash counter on Download Mode and it said no. (Bought this Note 2 second handedly so I didn't know if the previous owner had rooted this device.)

There is no update for my CSC either but the original poster has the same problem as mine where it keeps checking and does not respond. It should let you know if there is an update or not. In the OP's case that does not happen.

My way to solve this problem:
After rooted and reseting counter with triangle away,
After that, make a full wipe data in recovery mode. (so, make a backup up)
Now in status, check device status. It shoud be 'normal' and you can now check update

the first that you should know if it is a 4.1.2 rom in you country/mobile company. Some companies have a slooooow development.
If there is check kies. there is an option (I cant remember what it says esactly) which makes you write your model name and your serial. This update the device to the latest update in theory skipping this check for modifications. It will make a factori reset in your phone so backup important files.
The most important thing is to check the antivirus and the firewall it is known that sometimes it deny the acces to check OTAs

I talked to Samsung Norway and they said the update was avaible. I then told them it wasnt working, and their solution was... wait for it... return the phone...
After your post I trailed the forum, found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809
It worked like a charm. It downloaded the update, put in on the phone, and it even didnt erase ANY of my settings while updating. It booted up, and there it was, an updated verion with all my apps and setting.
Thank you very much, once again!
Firmware Upgrade
I am unfortunately having problems updating my N7100 also. I am a bit perplexed and dont know what I have done wrong if anything.
First off my phone is not rooted at the moment and as far as I can tell was never rooted (bought brand new / device status shows normal). Here are the steps that I used:
1. Downloaded KIES onto macbook.
2. Attached phone via usb cable.
3. Followed on screen instructions for firmware update. Took about 10 min to do its thing.
4. Phone rebooted automatically and applied upgrade.
After all was complete my android version still shows 4.1.1
What the heck is wrong? I saw the upgrade taking place (I guess it was upgrading).
Now when I am attached via KIES it shows:
Current Firmware version: PDA: LJ3 / PHONE: LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (AFR)
Latest Firmware version : PDA: LJ3 / PHONE: LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (AFR)
Can anyone please advise what is going on here please?
Thanks in advance,

If you are rooted, my guess is that you most likely tripped the modified counter. By default if you are not using a work around, Samsung has certain methods in place that detect when you modifiy your phone or boot loader. Once tripped, you will most likely not get any ota updates. To check, first ensure that you dont have a yellow exclamation mark while your phone is booting, second, go to settings about phone and there is a string that she either read normal or modified. If you are rooted though, why dont you just flash one of the new roms with android 4.1.2? That is the update.

Forget waiting for the OTA update, why not download the full Samsung T999 S3 stock-rooted
deoxidized firmware and flash your phone with it. Since your phone is already rooted, it's easy.

Yes, it appears I am modified. I used triangle away in the past. I havn't done any phone mods in a long time, and I basically have root for apps requiring SU. I did not want to have to break out the USB cable and download a 700MB file if I could just run the update tool (call me lazy).

Right, I went ahead and updated using cwm and the stock rom and am now on 4.1.2. Flashing was just scary to me when I havnt done it in a very long time
If you wish to do it the easy way I'd say TWRP it. But another way is Odin back to complete stock UVDLJC so that your status is normal and not modified. I'm pretty sure TriangleAway doesn't need to be used to reset your binary for an OTA. Just the ROM itself can't be detected as modified for the OTA to work.

Had 4.1.1 rooted with CWM. Phone downloaded a 600MB update file. Got some sort of error part way through. Flashed stock recovery back. Let phone download OTA update. Stopped half way through the flash and aborted. No error, rebooted before I could see one - just said that it was interrupted or something after rebooting. Go to check for updates and it says the phone is up to date, however about shows 4.1.1! Kernel though is showing SMP Preempt Nov 20 date so that's go to be something new.
I noticed on Kies it says 4.1.1 is the latest version! I know 4.3 had a lot of bugs initially. Is AT&T still chickening out on this for now and all the msgs I see about 4.3 OTA update are before AT&T stopped it? Or somet issue with my phone.
I'm about to just do back to CWM, move to CM11 nightly and roll the dice on having to deal with bugs and other funky stuff. But then stability is my #1 priority so maybe just stay on 4.1.1. Can't be right as I thought there was a 4.1.2 even?? (I had the update app frozen via TI so I never bothered with the OTA updates.)
*** shoots straight into your head ***
Dead, yet ?
There's a flashable zip of the official 4.3 update in the development thread. I would recommend the no knox prerooted version though because the other version is apparently "unrootable" right now.

I'm pretty sure that is the difference, that it's pre-rooted and insecure. As the second one's title says it's a "one way road". If you have any plans on rooting or installing a custom rom in the future I wouldn't do the second one because currently I think it's hard to root. The other one is essentially like flashing a custom rom so you can still switch between other ones or flash a kernel if you ever decide to. And I haven't tried the 4.3 TW yet so I can't attest to the bugginess
Well, my phone was rooted and I have android version 4.1.2. I did my "software update" inside "about device" and it would download and fail to install, So I thought it was the root. I went ahead and removed the root using an App and now another app verify it is not rooted. Now the problem is I go back to check for the update and it says "The device is up to date"....Did I just shoot myself in the foot?
Why don't you try Root66 version of UVDMD5 ?
I would never apply the 4.3 update to the phone.

Whats wrong with the update?
Please search and read about new issues introduced by Stock update to 4.3. You may do it here or with Google. Look for Bootloader issues, hard bricking, efuse, Knox and Carrier IQ. Many a users also experienced serious signal issues after the update.
Hi. A few months ago I received a phone for my daughter from my mom. I reset the phone back to factory settings and it's working fine. I had to reset it back to factory again after locking myself out recently but other than that there hasn't been any issues until now. I picked up an activity tracker for my daughter recently and it wasn't connecting to the phone like it should even though it was listed as a compatible device.
Turns out the phone is at Android 4.1.1 and when I try to update it OTA it says there are no updates to download. So I tried updating through Kies and it isn't connecting the phone. At this time I started to do some more research.
The knox counter is at 2 and the device status is modified, which I have never rooted the phone and my mother can't even set up her wifi printer and most certainly can't root a phone. I installed triangle away but the phone needs to be rooted in order to do it's magic.
Do I need to root the phone in order to get the knox counter back to 0? Will this put the phone back where I can get android updates for it? I don't know where to start.
Boot into download mode. Do you see anything about warranty bit? If you do, the updates are working because it sounds like the phone has a stock 4.1.1 rom on a 4.3 or newer bootloader.

If you would to reset the knox counter to 0x0... yes, you have firstly to root your phone, then install triangle away.

Knox cannot be reset to 0x0 once it has been changed to 0x1.
Since the word "modified" appears in download mode, this leads me to conclude that the phone may be rooted and cannot receive ota updates.
It is strange that the phone is running 4.1.1 with Knox as Knox was not introduced until 4.3.
Before flashing anything, you need to confirm the phone's current bootloader and modem.

How do I confirm the bootloader and modem? I literally am learning all the language and how all of this works as I go. All I know is I have a phone that is running 4.1.1 and won't update and when I went to the download odis (I think that's what it is called) said it was tripped 2 times where I was supposed to read the knox number.
I ran to the mobile store it's connected to and they said the T Mobile Galaxy S3 phone that I-Wireless puts out was never given an update past 4.1.1 Not sure how true that is. If that's the case, I probably need to root the phone anyway to force an update (Is that what I would need to do to get it at least to 4.3?
there is an app in the playstore called samsung info. download it and it should tell you bootloader and modem.
pretty sure it is true that 4.1.1 was the last.
heres the link to the xda thread , which of course will lead you to the playstore ; but will tell more detail about the app :

I've never flashed something. Sorry if I ask a hundred questions as I go through this.
So you want me to flash the 4.1.1 that's already on the phone? Is that correct? Can I ask why? (I'm just wanting to know the meaning behind the action so understand what your thought process is so I can understand for next time.)

if i'm guessing right about what @audit13 & @ arthur (lol) are asking you to do is flash that firmware since the samsung info app said "firmware not found".
you might be confusing firmware version with android version. you say your on 4.1.1 which is the android version.
also if i'm not mistaken that firmware will match your bootloader which is a good thing.

Ah! That makes sense. In the process of it now. We'll see what happens and if I'm successful with it.
Success. It has auto updated to Android 4.3 after this. Thanks for your help.
