[Q] Can't update to MC2-1. Please help - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I was rooted stock but went back to unrooted to take updates. I find I don't need to be rooted with this phone.
My problem starts after the Samsung update downloads and i click install..halfway through reboot, I get the green android with the red exclamation point...then it just restarts and I have MA7 still.
I've also tried booting into stock recovery and applying the update through cache. I then get the error in stock recovery after it's "verifying current system." It says "assert failed" and in red "E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)"
I reboot and it's still back to MA7.
I'm lost on this one. I would really appreciate any help.

No help? I figured this would be easy for someone

Why not just oneclick back to an unrooted build. Then if its ma7, update or if its mc2 then you are good to go. Sounds like somethimg was left behind causing problems. I know you unrooted but before you unrooted did you remove any system apps? That could pose a problem.

I wiped and used odin to get back to stock. I followed directions. So all system apps would be there now, right?

Correct. Now just wait for the update. And do it.

I think you misunderstood me. That's what I did a month ago to get back to stock unrooted...I tried to take the update and it keeps failing described in the 1st post

Am I unrooted?

I had my phone rooted and was on the recent jedi rom. I then tried to go back to stock and my phone got stuck at the start up screen. I downloaded the rooted with no tripping firmware and did that through odin and it worked. I then updated to the recent update for this phone , 4.1.2. My phones status says normal, but I still have super su and can't get rid of it. Did I do something wrong? I'm Trying to get back to stock so I can get it exchanged because of speaker problems.

Open the su app, go to settings, hit unroot. Wouldnt hurt to run triangle away before you do that and make sure you have stock recovery also:thumbup:

Thanks! I tried that and nothing happened, I think im going to try and flash a 100% pure att stock firmware and see if that fixes it. The one that I plash before said root in the name so that might be the problem.

OTA downloads but install fails

[First time posting]
I was able to download the 178MB update. Then instructed to restart, which works just fine. At the 27% completion, the update says "failed" and then the device restarts.
The device was once modded but I reverted back to stock. It is not rooted. Although, I just realized the "Device status" still says modified.
Anyone else experiencing something similiar?

Factory Reset to make you status normal. You could also plug into kies and back uo and reinstall stock firmware

Wouldn't I lose my apps and data by factory resetting?

BTW, have you tried/attempted to install Google wallet or modify any of the contents in the device?

Rooting stock 4.1.2

I know I can flash any custom ROM I want now or the rooted/odexed version of the 4.1.2 OTA, but just for a little while I'd like to keep the flash counter at zero.
I'm still on 4.1.1 because I just got my phone 2 days ago, and I flashed the non-tripping stock root odin package before I even turned my phone on. But now I see there's an update for 4.1.2 (that someone said has multiview???) and I was wondering if there's a way to get to 4.1.2 and root it without tripping the flash counter.
Ideas?
Exynos abuse exploit. Google search it after you take the update. Download it and run it.

I'm not questioning you (thanks by the way), but I thought the 4.1.2 update was specifically to fix that issue. Was that not for the Note II?

TRYING to install kies to see if that works, but it's giving me **** too.
Edit: It at least "tried" to update now but said update failed immediately upon the first restart... could my root be f-ing it up?
Anyone?

Get the update.zip file and copy to your cache directory .
Go into recovery mode (vol up +home+power) → flash from cache. and done ...It won't wipe your data... . .and you will get you multiview.
From your previous comment. ..don't worry about custom rom count. .it can be easily rest via triangleaway.

Try recovery mode →clear cache ..Then copy update zip into cache. .som3 people suggest full unroot before runing the update..try that. I ran the update.zip in my wifes phone today with this method.

Use the exynos abuse apk to quickly root. Quick question, are you using stock recovery?

Yes. I did the cache wipe thing and it still showed the error

Did. Still gave me the error when flashing in recovery. Also the root is like not working completely. Some apps don't ask for permission and so I can't give it to them.
Edit: bought supersu pro and it worked nicely. (the root acess, flashing still doesn't work)

Phone won't update to OTA 4.4 update

I had my note 2 rooted using Kingo one click method before and recently unrooted prior to the OTA update. I am running stock 4.3 and don't have a custom recovery installed (that I am aware of at least). I've received the system update message twice now and tried to install it both times. It appears to go through but then when it finally boots up nothing has changed and I'm still running 4.3. Any thoughts?
Did you uninstall any stock apps? I have read that can block updates.

You could try flashing the stock tar though odin?

I don't believe so. I did a factory reset not too long ago so it should have everything. Anyone else have issues?
How do we get rid of the "System Update Downloaded" notification and/or delete the update file(s) to reclaim space?
