Unable to update software (either through Kies & OTA)

Hi, I have a Note2 (n7100) for almost a month now and I cannot update its software to the latest which is 4.1.2.
My phone keeps saying that I already have the latest one but I still have the 4.1.1... I also installed Kies on my PC also shows that I have the latest firmware.
My phone is not rooted. Could please help me? Do I need to change some settings on it.

Not only you but many others also having this, likely this is from samsung server issue not on your device. Or may be your country have not received update yet.
Simply download latest ROM and flash using it Odin, really odin is much safer and stable then Kies.
you can get more info from my signature, read N7100 All in One.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to know where can I download the official firmware that fit to my phone? Can I use firmware based in Regions Supported: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom. OR I need to download a different one.
below is the information of my phone
Baseband version: N7100XXALJ2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-310959 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMT
Build number : JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3
Hope to hear from you soon.
*** Using ODIN means just only update the firmware not rooting it? Because I do not want to root my phone. Just update it to the latest one.

Can you input here what you are getting by dialing *#1234#

Search 'samsung update' using Google, download any note 2 firmware you desire... (Don't worry I flashed France firmware although my phone is from Korea, it works perfectly)
Flash the firmware using ODIN...
1. DOWNLOAD Note 2 firmware (any)
2. Extract the zip file (Firmware that you downloaded)
3. Open ODIN, browse the md5 file in PDA...
4. Flash it
Done, easy... This WILL NOT ROOT your device... DON'T WORRY!
GOOD LUCK
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

Samsung Note2 unable to update
I have e same problem as minitokyo. I bought my note2 when 1st launched (1st batch), and software version is now 4.1.1. My phone is registered in Singapore with service provider Starhub. My phone runs on the generic platform instead of the service provider Starhub's platform . When i tried to update to 4.1.2 a few weeks ago, it says that i have "have the latest software installed". I just cant get it updated via phone (ota) or via computer (kies). I called Samsung , they cant explain too, other than offering to reset my phone to factory settings , which will erase all my data, so i do not want that. Until today, .i also cannot update. Where is the problem ?

csc changer from play store

So my n5100 is apparently a Trinidad and Tobago model. If I update it to another country's firmware, do I lose my ability to do OTA updates in the future?
I know for my HTC ONE, there is a way to change the model number and Cid to convert it to what you want and then get OTA updates. Is that what the changing the CSC does for Samsung? Will I be able to get OTA updates afterward s?

[Q] Flash back to stock ROM

HI
I have a UK Vodaphone SG Note 2 that I rooted a while back but cant remember what root I used
I did mange to get a Download message to appear on the screen when all three buttons were pressed the other day and I think this is the ODIN? down-loader
My issues is finding the right ROM. I have found two on the internet
N7100XXDMC3
N7100XXDMB2
But my phone says that it has:
N7100BUDMD1
The two above seem to be from March this year and I can remember that before I rooted I did up grade from Android 4.11 - 4.12.
So how do I find the exact baseband version as there is no sign of a download for:N7100BUDMD1
Cheers in advance for any help

It shouldn't matter what firmware you download as long as it is for Vodafone UK. Provided you return to full stock, you'll be able to update to the latest firmware provided through Vodafone. Baseband name is different from firmware name afaik. If you can bring up more info on the firmware, they should also show baseband/modem version too.

Cheers

Note, there are no official 4.2.1 roms. Samsung confirmed it will skip it straight to 4.3 and there only is the leaked firmware as of yet

[Q] Install 4.4.2 from Sammobile manually

Hi All,
Got a small question about upgrading my S4Mini (GT-I9195 LTE) from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.
At the moment my phone is on stock-rom which is 4.2.2 , when i check for 'updates' it says, 'latest updates already installed'.
Also when connecting to 'Kies' , the program says latest firmware already installed..
However when i check the Sammobile website for the GT-I9195 Model there are newer firmware's showing up , Android 4.4.2, but it depends on the country if the firmware is already at 4.4.2.
For the Netherlands, where i'm from, this one is available :
Model: GT-I9195
Model name: GALAXY S4 mini LTE
Country: Netherlands (Vodafone)
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 1646188
Build date: Tue, 27 May 2014 08:17:05 +0000
Product Code: VDF
PDA: I9195XXUCNEA
CSC: I9195VFGCNE4
MODEM: I9195XXUCNEA
However, i'm not with Vodafone as a provider, would that be a problem ?
When i check my phone specs, this is what i get:
AP: I9195XXUBNB3
CP: I9195XXUBNB3
CSC: I9195PHNBND1
Can i just install android 4.4.2 from Sammobile without any problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Network/carrier specific firmware may have custom software or setting for the ROM, it better to find some other model that are as close to your phone's spec as possible to avoid any potential problem.
As if your phone has Know, it would trigger Know if you don't update via the official way.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Knox-flag is already triggered on my phone, but because i had to sent it back to shop for maintenance they reset it back to factory settings (android 4.2.2.)
However, i don't get it the way Samsung is updating the phone's. It's said that 4.4.2 is out for S4Mini , however when i'm searching for my device on Sammobile (I9195XXUBNB3), it still says 4.2.2.
Should I wait with updating, or what else ?

That depends entirely on you... If you wish to preserve the warranty and keep the KNOX, than don't. If you can't wait and don't get bother by KNOX or warranty than go for it.
LOL, too tired, I just realize I keep typing KNOX as 'know'...

All the ROM listed on Smmmobile is for different region. And I would also expect there won't be a 4.4.2 for your specific phone since you've check via Kies. So you need to find a phone from another region that are same spec as yours - band, function, etc and prefer not a carrier/network model.
Alternatively you can go for the custom KK ROM here.

Install samfirm fast firmware downloader tool for windows. There is a box that says Region. You need to write the country code down depending on what country you want to have the firmware.
Countrycodes can be found in google.
If downloaded you can flash via odin and then your build number is changed

I didnt found firmware of my country code .. and when i put code of t-mobile america i found firmware.. so what i can do?
