I am running the stock MC2 TW ROM rooted with CF Auto Root. The update buttons in "System Update" were working fine up until about a week ago. Now when I press Update PRL I get nothing. Any ideas as to what has happened? Thanks.

My son's 989 got a notification of a software update last night. He is stock/rooted GB with CWM Recovery installed. When trying to do the update, it of course failed since the recovery was not stock. Now it says there is no update. Does anyone know what this update was and is there a stock/rooted version that I can Odin to his phone? Thanks for the help.
Found a stock unrooted ICS and installed it. Should be able to root it.
Hi All,
Root --> Custom TWM recovery using Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit v3.0.0
278 MB sprint OTA update fails on 4.1.1
Unrooted, and Flashed Stock Rom via Odin.
Now 278 MB OTA update still fails.
1. Don't know how to make the phone go back to stock without losing all my apps so the OTA update will succeed.
2. Don't really care how I install the update, just want the latest Sprint update.
Searched all over forums, no clear indication in found threads on:
A. Which is latest Stock Sprint Firmware ROM to force update or flash manually?
B. How to recover back to stock (so OTA succeeds).
C. What will latest update push my version to, is it 4.1.2?
Any help guise?

Not exactly true. I was able to install the previous OTA while rooted, but had to have the factory recovery to do it.
(by the way, I am also having the same issue. Sprint told me it was because of a conflict with google and some of their proprietary software in the ROM, and that it is happening a lot.)
I am in the same boat. I want to update but dont want to fully install original rom just to update. I dont want to loose all my apps and settings I have.
Just got my layout the way I like it. I tried ota keeper and that did not work. Any know how I can ota while keeping my apps and settings.

I'm looking to do the same on my Sprint GN2. Ever since the update came out, I've just been hitting "skip install" which pops up several times a day.
I'm on ALJC. I used the toolkit to root with custom recovery and busybox. Then along came the MA7 update and I want to apply it via OTA.
So, using the Toolkit, I then flashed stock recovery, used Triangle Away to reset the flash counter, used SuperSU Pro to unroot. Then I let the update download. When the phone boots to apply the update the phone gets about 1/4 of the way through and the Android falls over dead with the nasty triangle-of-death.
I've checked many posts to try to determine if I'm missing a step or doing something out-of-sequence. In any case, any tips on what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
I went ahead and flashed stock and did a double OTA update and re-installed everything. Now I'm at MA7.
have a gs3 that was on 4.1.2, it is rooted and had a custom recovery but stock rom. i started the ota update which i assume was 4.4.2 took about 30-40mins to download then not thinking i started the process but failed cause i had a custom recovery. so i used the tool kit and put the stock recovery back on the phone. now i cant get it to show the ota update, just says system up to date. ive tried factory resetting. ive tried changing the date on the phone, all that does it says connecting to dm server. will it not download that update again since it downloaded it once or whats going on? just want the stock 4.4.2 on the phone.

You might try KIES. That's how I upgraded from a rooted stock JB, to stock KitKat (unrooted)
Or follow enewman17's thread in the General section.

Anybody know the purpose of the OH3 to QA1 update? Worth the trouble to lose root etc?
How do you turn off the update notice if I don't want to install?
Thanks.
Most likely a security update... I took the update and then re-rooted successfully with Chainfire's CF Root. (I factory restored my phone to oh3)
