Cant install OTA update from AT&T

I tried numerous times and cant get this thing to work! I tried flashing stock recovery to get OTA. I can download the update but once it starts to install it gets to 32% everytime and fails. I also used OTA rootkeeper. I was trying to test this out to see if i can do it so once JB comes out i would have no problem. I also tried to Kies but it says i'm on the latest firmware which is not true. Any ideas as to why i'm having such an issue with this update? I am running factory rom rooted..... Any ideas?

Since you are rooted..hope you have cwm..go into recovery mode..clear cache,clear dalvik cache,and flash the current rom that you are using again..or download the latest stock rom and flash it manually..

If you want theupdate, there is a cwm flashable zip in the General sub forum

Help Soft Brick and cant find files needed

I was on the omni rom and decided to change my recovery when this happened.
It wouldnt boot past the samsung screen. I cannot get into recovery but I can get into download mode.
I know one possible fix is flashing the stock image through Odin but I cannot find the stock images. All the links are dead.
Anything will help.

Also if there is anybody willing to walk me through this real time, feel free to message me and we can chat on google hangouts.

What recovery are you using ?
Since you can get in to recovery, did you try restoring any of your previous backups ?
Are you already on 4,3 bootloader ?
You can download thr stock 4.3 firmware from here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T889&pcode=0
You will need an account on sammobile though.

How did you flash T889UVALL4 ?
Most likely your phone is on a newer(4.3) bootloader and flashing an older bootloader caused the boot loop.
I am very certain that flashing 4.3 stock image will resolve this problem.

That might be it, since I was on 4.4.2 before. Do you know if there are better hosting sites for the download file because the ones on that site take 6 hours to download.

Welcome to the forum! Your phone's hardly bricked if you can get to download and recovery modes. Flashing the correct (stock) firmware should get you back to working conditions. What Android version were you on prior to it being stuck and what were you trying to upgrade to?

i747M is for the Canadian and Mexican variants. If you were on stock 4.1.2, you should be able to Odin back to stock 4.1.1 or upgrade to 4.3 via custom recovery. You can go to the thread below to check the correct stock image for your phone based on carrier. Make sure you use the correct image as flashing the wrong version could hard brick your phone. Download to your PC and then flash. If you select the 4.3 version, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin, save the file to a (micro) SD card and then flash via custom recovery.

If we are going to flash a stock ROM, we would need to flash the correct version as there is risk of a worse brick if we flash the wrong one. When the phone was working normally, the old network would probably be showing during booting. If you got it from abroad, please check if you can get the information from the previous owner. If there is no way of telling the correct firmware, then you can flash custom recovery to the phone and try flashing a custom ROM via recovery. It's always tidier flashing a custom ROM to a device functioning normally but, unless we can be sure of the correct stock firmware to flash, your options may be limited.

I've seen this particular problem reported several times and it's always been a problem with the pit file. Flashing a complete stock system should fix all partition problems though. If the stock file you are using is an Odin flashable file, you may try using Odin 3.09. Otherwise, I'd suggest you find a recovery flashable image and flash via (custom) recovery.

1. Reboot to recovery - Power button+Home button+volume up then factory reset if this don't work:
2. Download a 4.4.2 rom from Sammobile and flash through Odin and then repeat the procedures to install Dr Keaton Rom.
Hope you can solve the problem.

You did a lot of steps that shouldn't have been done in the first place so instead of trying more things that wouldn't work just flash the official stock NE1 firmware from https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0 ,extract the zip file you'll get a tar file ,put your phone into download mode , (uninstall kies) only run odin, connect the phone to computer,make sure the ID:COM turns blue then check mark AP/PDA tab on odin and select the downloaded firmware.Dont touch anything else hit start and let odin do it's magic once your dad's phone successfully boots and you get network etc etc.then ask me i'll tell how to root the stock firmware and run custom ROM.Good luck.

That's odd,go perform a factory reset and see what happens.Which one was your previous ROM?
Edit: After factory reset if it still boots in your old ROM, reflash the stock rom i gave you and then tell me what happens.
Use odin v3.09 at least ill give you the link hold on

Are you sure it's the OLD ROM and not stock rom?Check in settigns>>about device>>and tell what you see under build # cause the link i gave you is of Kitkat ROM too NE1 firmware

Yes you dont need bootloader nor wifi fix anymore since flashing official stock 4.4.2 you are on the newest boootloader.Now you need to root your phone.So you need philz touch 6.41.tar file and supersu v 1.97.
Philz tar file
SuperSu v1.97
Refer to this post of mine in another thread How to root
The above posts show how to flash recovery in odin and do exactly what it says in the image UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT IN ODIN once its done flashing and says pass phone wont be turned off so remove the phone from laptop and pull the battery out and follow my instructions there.
Once you boot your phone again after flashing superSU it will ask you if you want to disable KNOX select yes (knox will be triggered to 0x1 that means warranty will be void)

Btw the link to download odin seems to be spamware, insted of downloading odin, i got a program 104kb giving lots of options, and at the end still did not install odin. Just for info. (i already had odin later version, and used that before, but wanted to check if a newer one is available, so header over there).
Going to install dr ketans custom rom. fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the help, will update, how it goes.

It never asked me to disable knox...
Would it be problematic if knox is not disabled ? as i wanted to use knox.
...
Finished flashing dr ketans rom, and it booted just fine, albiet slow compared to the stock rom.
Thankyou Pratik for all the help with detail and correctness.

Ya i think all the custom ROM for our note 2 are heavily modded the latest ones that's why sometimes just to feel the smoothness i flash back stock ROM and when i get bored of them i flash one of the custom roms.Glad to know you were able to successfully flash the rom of your choice.Enjoy.

Help
Hello everybody, I have a problem with my galaxy note 2 N7100.
The problem is the following:
One day I was using my phone normally, and all of a sudden the screen turned off and the phone never turned on again, (if you press the power button the screen turns a little gray, but you must be in a dark place to perceive it)
I can't access download or any other mode, or at least I can't detect if the phone has accessed it, because the screen just turns a little gray and does nothing else.
I have the drivers and have the official ROM for my region, ODIN installed, ADB, and other flashing tools and recovery files. But it has been long time since the last time I flashed something or did anything to the device and would appreciate a little help.
Can anyone here help me to solve this issue or knows what is happening with my phone?
Thank you for any kind of help you can give me
Update: I "think" I got into download mode blindly, just press the home+power+down vol buttons, then pressed up vol and connected the phone to the usb, surprisingly the computer made the usb sound that indicated me that the connection was recognized, Odin showed the ID:COM blue, so I proceeded to load the original rom and flash it, it took around 3.5 minutes and finally it showed succesful. But when I pressed the power button to turn on the phone, the screen still grey and doesn't start. I'm starting to think its a screen problem. I already purchased a new screen so I'm going to tell a frend to install it for me.
I'll be in touch

Update Stoped On Galaxy Note II Screen

Hello, I used to be rooted with custom ROMs ect but went back to stock I317ATTALJ2 so I can give the phone to my daughter. Well everything went smooth until an update from AT&T came through and she ran it when the battery was at 21% but I'm not sure it that matter but didn't help in matters... Anyhow it ran the upgrade and on reboot it stayed on the Galaxy Note II screen and wont do anything but sit there. I let it sit for a long time before pulling the battery and booting but it goes to same screen and same thing. I can not get into recovery (Volume Up, Home, Pwr) but I can go into download mode. With the battery being so low I read that it charges while in download mode so for the remainder of the day I put the phone in download mode and plugged into charger.
Suggestions?

After you get it charged up some and you're in download mode. Just Odin back to stock Att firmware should fix the problem hopefully...
You can find the stock firmware here>> http://bit.ly/1HNVFVJ
Guess the phone didn't like that update ?.

Ok.
Hopefully everything works out next time around.
Another thing you could try is flashing which ever recovery you previously had installed. Last time I was having issues with something similar, after re flashing my recovery everything started working again. Just just a thought that might work.
I'm monitoring this thread too see what happens ok.

Recovery? can I flash the stock recovery using ODIN? If so where do I get it.... I always have used TWRP I wanted to use custom ROMs never really experimented with anything else.

Yes you can flash a custom recovery from Odin. You just have to use the (Twrp) tar file found here>>>
http://bit.ly/1y0Tyg7
Find your device model and download the tar. And make sure you're downloading the correct file for your device ok!
I to use Twrp and luv it.?

OK, well its not looking good....
1) Flashed the stock firmware suggested...... Still get same results!
2) Flashed TWRP through ODIN and it made it to the same screen and froze. Did a battery pull and button combo and it wont go into recovery.
Is there a application that will force your phone into recovery and download modes? I remember back when I messed with the captivate there was a application someone built that did such a thing.
Any suggestions?

Not sure you were on the newer 4.4.2 bootloader or not. If it was on a newer bootloader then you won't be able to downgrade.. This might help you get the phone working again since you just flashed the original firmware.

Ok not is back working again, which is great news ?. Go to the link I posted for the stock firmware, and use the rooted one.
But first make a backup of your working system first ok.
