So I believe I updated to the latest firmware update the other day for 4.1.2. The issue im having is when I go to the about device option and click software update it shows "continue update" greyed out so im not able to click. When I click "check for updates" I always get the same message " software update interrupted". I have tried to run this update on wifi and 4g both unsuccessful. I have attempted to factory reset my phone ...no go. Can some please suggest anything that will resolve this issue i'm having.

Try manually setting the time on your phone ahead by 24 to 48 hours. This may trigger the phone to complete the update. Are you running complete stock firmware? That includes android OS, kernel, modem, and recovery.

From Settings>>About Device do baseband and build still show as MC3? Is kernel dated something prior to August 2013 (I think MC3 was April 2013)? (can you post a screenie?)
Have you made any customizations to your phone - i.e. build.prop tweaks, debloating, freezing of apps, removal of system apps, anything else that might have modified the /system partition? Any of this would cause the OTA process to abort and stall like you have seen.

Here is a screen shot.
I haven't made in any customizations. I did have the s4 voice.apk installed at some point in time, but I uninstalled it. its possible I could have deleted a system app unintentionally, but I don't recall doing so.
Are you using a stock 3e recovery ??
If not. ...the device will not update. ..as a stock recovery is required. ..g

If you are running the stock recovery, try downloading the CWM package I posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449972
Download to your PC and copy to your internal sdcard (the one that shows up as "phone"). Power off phone then boot recovery via home+vol up+power
Then use the side load option to run the CWM zip. If all goes well and your system partition is pure this will update your system, kernel, and modem to MH3. Upon phone boot, your recovery will update to MH3.

Fair point - if you are running a custom recovery, follow the steps above, but run the CWM zip file as you would any other CWM zip from a custom recovery... but from your prior responses, I'm guessing you are running stock recovery and the update process just got confused somewhere... perhaps because one of the stock apps was deleted.
Pay attention when the CWM zip is running.. if it fails you will get an error message showing the file it fails on. I may be able to help you further from there - assuming it's only a file or two that has an issue.

So after months and months of trying to update my phone to I317UCAMH3 I finally got my phone to update to what is now 4.3. Like many of you I tried everything I know how to such as:
-Reverting my phone to 4.1.1 and updating to 4.12 on Kies. same issue
-Resetting the flash counter after performing a data wipe....same issue
-Master reset....same issue
-Going to the Samsung service center and receiving the dumbest answer ever they told me my "cookies" preventing my phone from updating. (biggest idiots ever LOL)
So I was finally able to resolve this issue and receive my updates by switch my wife's sim card from her S3 to my phone and it worked like a charm. So my recommendation is if your having this issue it's more than likely occurring because of a faulty sim card and if you are unable to switch with another phone then go to the ATT store and they will give you a free one. Please let me know if this works for you.

I have an AT&T Note 2 and is unlocked as I moved to Canada. My new carrier is Telus and until recently, around the same time as the KitKat, my great reception went bad. I've confirmed that it is not a hardware issue and appears to be related to updating my phone. For whatever reason I can't update the software on my phone. Kies is of no use and I don't have access to an AT&T sim card to try the new solution. I've tried the hard reset.
I've never rooted the phone and recently reset the phone to resolve the issues. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The version on my phone is I317UCAMA4 and 4.1.2.

Perhaps the new EK02 update? It has been push for the past days system wide.
Use the search button, it is your friend...
Either way, its an update to get rid of the LOS issues people were having among other bug fixes. and as far as i know, it is stored in /cache
Didnt see it in /cache unless its hidden, thank you for reply it was EK02
Does anyone know how this would trouble rooting?
I know that I had been rooted, I applied the update (since I knew it was coming and what it was for), error message popped up and phone locked. As a result I used CWM and restored an old backup and sure enough everything is fine. Unrooted, factory reset, applied update. I am good.
Now how do I root? Can I root? What root method? I have been using the ZedoMax 4.1 root with Odin but I am not sure that this is the best root out there. Would any of these revert the update?
Thanks!
Booo 2.3.6/EK02 didnt fix shutter, focus sound now, I still wake the baby up if I take a photo. Is there a Non-Root kill for this that works 100% because I notice if you use the barcode scanner app it doesnt make a shutter noise.

theres some app for no shutter sound, it acutally might be called that no shutter cant remember..
If not, just flash a rom that has camera sounds removed?
So, I'm on Blazer ROM and I'm getting the update push. Will it brick me if I update? I seriously don't need that at the moment so its in my best interest to figure that out first before I go ahead.
Did anyone else try to update theirs? I have EK02 and Starburst 1.9.8. I just want to make sure this won't brick my phone or do any damage. I'm away from home for another three weeks and I wanna make sure this update won't make mine a useless piece of crap.
Annoying that root ed people are getting the update push as well...
Does that mean it's tied to your acct?
Should probably expect more of these in the future...I wouldn't install it on a root ed phone...
...
Has anyone on a rooted Epic 4G Touch ran this update? And if so, did it unroot or brick anybody? I'm getting tired of getting the update notification pop-up.. I'm either going to follow the guide to removing it, or run the update, depending on any official word that it won't screw up my customized phone... I certainly don't want to have to redo everything.
Thanks in advance!
I tried to run the update it restarted my phone and it give me a explanation mark with green android icon. wtf does that mean??? I restarted the phone now the update message doesn't even pop up assuming it updated it???
Android version : 2.3.4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 zedomax
hardware version: d710.10
buildnumber: midnight rom 2.0
I blindly installed the OTA yesterday.
I had Rooted stock version of 2.3.4.
Now I have Rooted 2.3.6.
Looked up information all yesterday and all I could see was LOS fix and system RAM was increased by decreasing the OS requirements (somehow). Some people said this
made their phone perform faster.
Right away I noticed I had to reset all my bluetooth connected devices.
No other problems were noticed. I am still rooted, woohoo.
Just tried installing this on the latest Blazer Rom (not the beta one) and got a error after restarting.

Well I think it's a good thing it didn't ask me because I didn't want the update considering I like my ROM. The update only fixes LoS issues and other problems. You can actually find the updated kernel on these forums and flash it to your phone if you have problems with signal otherwise the update really doesn't do much.
You can also flash to Blazer Rom EL13 beta rom and it will improve your data speeds but users have reported slower WiFi speeds. It also gets rid of the update message since its the latest update. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
TL;DR: The update is useless unless you have LoS issues.

After installing ICS my P935 now resets randomly, seems to do it most when trying to install apps from the Google Play store and when I make settings changes. I don't have an SD card installed if that makes any difference.
Did you do a factory data reset when you updated?

It's been doin the same for me (Telus P935), I also did a factory reset and it was still doing it so I took out the SDcard, swapped SDcards, etc. But it hasn't done it today yet.
Well I went to Telus and sent it in to see if they can repair or replace it, it rebooted again today and it then got very hot but when I pulled the battery and booted it up again, the graphics was all messed up and the colors were off, perhaps some damage to the GPU. I had no problems with this before updating to ICS... I wonder because I looked around the net and a few people are having problems too.
funny I have no problems. upgrade was flawless.

I have the same problem, try a hard reset, but the problem remains ...
Someone solved it? or how to do a factory reset to uninstall ICS?
There's no solution for this problem. And if you will flash another rom or another official software, no matter GB or ICS , the problem will stay. I don't know what happens, but updating creates some error, possibly in hardware.
And you know, I am really disappointed with that. I had tried every rom, and all kdz software, downclocking, disabling tons of functions & options. Nothing prevents reboots. It freezes for a while and then reboots. In some roms it can shuts off instead of reboot. And that's it. The last chance I think is jtagg reflashing.

I had same random reboot & sleep death problem after performing unbrick.
I tried several times of unbricking to correct this and installed GB & ICS, almost every CWM Rom without sucess.
Finally, I tried v18f.exe version when my phone was in download mode.
After that, I havn't had any single reboot or sleep death. I'm currently using v20c without CWM.
What I did was:
1.Install V18f leaked version in download mode.
2.Root with TPSparkyRoot_ICS
3. you can stay with v18f if you like, but I prefer to go v20c using "dd if sdcard boot.img .....method.." with v20c img file.
In my opinion, unbricking with korean rom may have some compatibility problems in some area besides boot, recovery, firmware, band, system partitions at least in my phone.
Becasue before I perform unbrick with korean rom, I never had reboot or death problem with Ho-no bell rom, kernelpan1c, cm9 and p936 rom.
Anyway, after install v18f.exe, my phone is perfectly okay.
I hope this help some of you suffering from random reboot.

You can get at what I was looking for by installing "System Panel Lite" (free) and looking under "Dev Info," and then the entry under "Fingerprint."
However, skip that and perhaps just go ahead and re-flash the baseband. I don't think it can hurt.

I was able to successfully flash TeamEpic-RemoveRoot-from-Recovery-signed.zip, but I didn't hit the keys right for the next one and ended up booting into the OS.

The phone had a black screen with that blue LED in the top left. I waited a while and then just powered it off. Took out the battery and tried again, same thing; although, the SAMSUNG logo does show up. It turns off when the Sprint part is supposed to show and at that moment I can hear the audio but the screen turns off. In this mode, the phone gets very very hot.
I can still boot into the stock recovery, but I can't do much else.
I just wanted the OTA . Does anyone know what might be happening?
EDIT: I put Clockwork Recovery back on, and then Advanced Recovered the boot part of a backup I did before this mess. Surprisingly, that worked. Problem is, I still haven't gotten the OTA working.

Why are you so intent on taking the OTA? Freeza has a stock rooted ROM over in his thread. And if you want just update the baseband, just flash the "MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update" file in the aforementioned thread.
If you're already rooted with a custom recovery (which you were/are), there's no reason to unroot just to flash the OTA. Freeza typically has his stock rooted ROM updated with the OTA within a week of it being released. In my area OTAs are kind of late, so he typically gets it out before I even see the notification.
So, in summary. OTAs are not required, XDA (and Freeza in particular) has you covered.

I'll go ahead and give it a try then. I haven't ever had a ROM update since I got the phone in October so I figure the upgrade won't work right, and I'll need the full ROM. Currently doing a backup.
Does flashing a ROM affect all app settings? And if so, by that point I'd just wanna have another ROM. The main reason I am fine w/ the stock ROM rooted is bc all my settings and apps are already installed and configured as well as the fact that I know it will work properly. So if this removes my settings, no reason to go stock anymore aside from the fact that I've seen that CyanogenMod doesn't get as good of signal on the S III as stock-based ROMs. Do you know if this still true?

Are you on MB1 or MA6?
Just flash an updated rom, or follow the instructions in my OTA thread for how to get rid of it
Saturn2888 said:
I'll go ahead and give it a try then. I haven't ever had a ROM update since I got the phone in October so I figure the upgrade won't work right, and I'll need the full ROM. Currently doing a backup.
Does flashing a ROM affect all app settings? And if so, by that point I'd just wanna have another ROM. The main reason I am fine w/ the stock ROM rooted is bc all my settings and apps are already installed and configured as well as the fact that I know it will work properly. So if this removes my settings, no reason to go stock anymore aside from the fact that I've seen that CyanogenMod doesn't get as good of signal on the S III as stock-based ROMs. Do you know if this still true?

If you dirty flash the rom over whatever you had before, it should not affect any settings

I think the message isn't showing up anymore bc it hasn't bugged me at all today. Device Status is and has always been "Modified" anyway.
Thanks!

A dirty flash is when you flash without clearing anything, and that's why no data is lost when you do one of those. However it can lead to issues, so i would advise against it when possible

Yeah, last time I did that, the system wouldn't boot.
I have an AT&T SM-N910A Note 4, currently on Lollipop 5.0.1. It is permanent unlocked via CODE and I'm using it outside the US with a foreign SIM with no problems.
Last April 14 ATT released a firmware update (OTA) to 5.0.1 with new:
Baseband Version: N910AUCU1COC4
Kernel Version: [email protected]#1
Build Number: LRX22C.N910AUCU1COC4
When i try to get that update via ">Settings>General>About Device> Software Updates"... it does NOTHING. Just display a text saying "No Firmware".
To me it seems I'm being ruled out from updates....
Does anyone knows why is this? Do I need to be a current AT&T customer to have updates?
IS THERE ANY PLACE TO FIND THE LATEST 5.0.1 FIRMWARE files to update from ODIN??
Thank you guys for your help!!

Happened to me too on the initial Lollipop update. Basically, the update was downloading, but would fail at install. Eventually, I got the "No Firmware" toast every time I tried to check for updates.
I had to go to Best Buy and they reflashed Kitkat (Because they didn't have the update yet). After that, the update check worked again and the update installed.
And as just stated, there is no 5.0.2 update. Only 2x 5.0.1 updates. First update was the Lollipop OS. The second was just a patch to correct some things.

It wasn't a factory reset. It was a reflash. I didn't lose any of my files, apps, or settings. It was like updating via OTA, except the Best Buy guy did it via USB and the update was the same exact firmware version that I already had.
I'm not even sure if Best Buy is an option for you, but using Odin to reflash the latest Kitkat firmware should do the same thing. I say this because I've done it on my Samsung tablet and I don't lose apps, settings or data. I do lose root though (easy to regain), but that won't matter with the n910a anyways.
Edit:
Using the firmware repair option in Kies may work too, but not 100% sure if it'll retain your data since I've never tried this before.

Just tried it but there is a warning about loosing all data if performing that.
Best Buy is not an option for me.
Unfortunately, flashing the update via Odin is your only option at this time. You will not be able to upgrade firmware via OTA, if not on an ATT network. There are apps that will allow you to backup and restore your call history and text messages without root. You can try copying your android data to your external storage card and copying the files back to the device after the firmware has been flashed.

Hey @thepinkpanter, just saw your post.
First, if you haven't already, remove the battery, boot into recovery mode and do a factory data reset, then reboot.
If you already tried that, then I would try flashing back to KK (NIE or NK3) both files can be found in the General Thread for the ATT N4. Use can use ODIN ver 3.0.7, 3.0.9 or 3.10.6, just follow the instructions for the specific ver you choose.
Let me know if you need further assistance..

Hey @thepinkpanter
You can flash NIE over OC4. I have done so a few times myself. Currently I'm using NK3.
It looks to me like your data partition is not being wiped. If I am remembering correctly, you do not get the android is updating screen on initial boot.

and the system once reboot start the android upgrading and the optimizing stop almost every time to 6 or 10 to 48 ..........
as soon I am back home i'll download the NIE from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/stock-to-stock-odin-flashable-tested-t2915915

@thepinkpanther
I would suggest selecting Nand Erase All, F. Reset Time, along with Auto Reboot in Odin on your next attempt. This will erase all of your partitions (system, data, etc) prior to flashing the ROM files. Unfortunately, this will erase all of the data on your internal storage card, but I believe this will fix the problem you're experiencing.
Do not select Re-Partition or EFS Clear, this will wipe your phones IMEl.

Problem Solved

First off, I will say that I am basically new to using stock ROM's and such, though I have previously successfully flashed another phone which worked until the experimental ROM became unstable after a few days, with reflashing yielding the same result.
To the point, using ODIN, I flashed TWRP onto my T999 (after heimdall kept failing for me), and I performed a back up and then proceeded to flash CM 12.1 nightly onto my phone. The nightly worked great other than giving me an error of "SIM card missing" in the setup screens. This of course is a deal breaker for me as this is the phone I wish to use daily. I did my research and found that for many people this was the case, however the network would still work despite the phone's status saying otherwise, though my phone would neither receive nor send texts/calls let alone find any network operators. (I also tried different releases)
I then tried to flash multiple CM 11 official releases but kept receiving "assert failed getprop( ro.bootloader)..... " I even tried the ol' "delete that line of the script" troubleshooting, however the installation would then abort just the same without stating the error.
After both of these failed, I tried recovering my previous back up however it failed every time.
I currently am running PAC ROM's 5.1.1 which yields the same issue as stated above concerning the nightlies.
I have also tried updating my modem as I found under troubleshooting that fixed what seemed to be the same issue for others, yet it never worked for me.
Any advice would be great. I'm sure you'll need more info, so let me know what you need.

What is important here is going to be the base firmware. We need to know what build you are currently running.
To get this, open terminal emulator and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
Let us know what it returns. I really have a feeling this will be the root of all your problems. You need to be running on a matched, 4.3 bootloader and modem. Otherwise the rom will not work right (hence the asserts in the updater-script). If you gave a mismatched modem, none of the radio related functions will work.

Thanks for getting back so quickly!
the terminal returned T999UVUEOH1
Ok. Since that's the latest available, you are going to be limited to only that build. (If you try to downgrade the bootloader it'll hard brick.)
My best suggestion would be to reflash the Full OH1 firmware via Odin, and then factory resetting from the stock recovery. (This will wipe all user data including the internal sdcard.)
Once you are fully stock, I'd the problem continues you can be pretty sure it's going to be hardware related. If that is the case, go to a t-mobile store and ask them to test a new one in your device. (They'll often replace it free if the Sim is the problem. )
Hopefully, everything will be working again though, and then you can try again to flash your rom if you so choose.
Sorry I don't have an easier/better suggestion. Let me know if you have any questions though. (You can get the firmware from my thread stickied at the top of the development section.)

I took your advice and used your download links, using https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407581038 as was linked to UVUEOH1 on the firmware page and followed your guide .
The phone has now been on the Samsung bootloop for 10 minutes after rebooting it while it was in bootloop for 30+. Any suggestions?
Did you factory reset? You always have to when going to/from TW/CM because their data is not compatible.

I just realized that I skipped that part and it is currently rebooting! I'll let you know what happens!
EDIT: Thank you so much! Is there a particular rooting guide that you recommend? And also, from there, should I be able to flash the ROM normally?
So the network still isn't working, however my SIM works in another phone that I've been using in the meantime. Do you still then suggest that the SIM could be the in error, or would it be software at that point?
Does it see any networks or show any signal with the Sim removed? It should allow for emergency calls only at least.
If it does, go to T-Mobile and test another Sim. If it does not, it's probably a hardware problem.
