Manually flash the OTA 4.1.2 update

There seems to be quite a good number of folks here that have not yet received the OTA update.
For those that are tired of checking and waiting or playing the date game. See the last post in link below and be sure to thank reinbeau for hosting the file:
AT&T to release OTA update on Dec. 27 to enable Multi-Window on Note II

Ok, guys, go blow up my Mediafire account. update.zip. I used the /cache method and stock recovery, didn't wipe my phone but did break root; you are welcome to CWM it in Recovery, but it will wipe. Enjoy it while it lasts

Note: There are two ways to apply this update. The method I recommend requires that you be rooted.
Method 1:
Download the update zip file from the link that is referenced in above post. Root your phone and use root explorer to copy to /cache. Once copied; do full unroot, reboot into recovery, flash from cache, then reboot and enjoy 4.1.2.
Another note: Just to clarify, this update file is for stock 4.1.2 that is sent via OTA. Also, I suggest to unroot before installing the update because it will break root. You can root again using the exynos exploit after applying the update. Also, this process does require stock recovery!
Method 2:
If you do not want to root your phone. You can save the update.zip on your external sdcard and apply from there but by doing so I believe it will wipe your device. By updating from cache, I was able to update my wife's phone without it being wiped clean.

Glad this helped. Did you install from cache or from sdcard?

Installed this from the cache. Only problem is that kies doesn't recognize this as official firmware. This kinda bothers me a little.

That's because this has not been released to Kies. If you were on stock rom and recovery, your status should show normal and it should show as official when you boot into download mode.
Also, if this was not official, you wont be able to flash this using stock recovery since it checks the signature for the file and it would have failed signature verification.

Great Thread.
Hopefully it I'll end the "I haven't gotten the update yet "
And get people to manually update.

I tried recovery (volume up+home+power). I left buttons pressed and it only shows NOTE II splash screen then blanck then the screen again every 10 or so seconds.. never gets into recovery mode. It boot normally if I just press power button, and it goes into odin if I do VOL down +home+power. Any ideas why recovery is not working?

First of all you need to get into recovery mode, not download mode. To get into recovery you hold Volume up+Home button+Power button. You should only hold this three button combo until the screen flashes with the splash screen then immediately let go.

I was copying the file with root explorer.
I mentioned the "download mode " screen just to give a picture of the phone behavior(what is working vs what was not), did not meant to cause confusion there.
I have a new problem now as mentioned in my last post
I an attempt to get into recovery and clear the cache, I read in a forum that I could get into recovery via GOOMANAGER. I installed it and used "reboot to recovery " and now phone is stuck in ENLESS LOOP of the "samsung NOTE 2" screen.
I cannot make it boot normally now.I think the phone is stuck trynig to get into recovery similar to the manual way described before (when I press UP+HOME+POWER to get into recovery phone only looped samsung screen). HOw can I break the loop ?
The only screen working right now is ODIN (DOWN +HOME+POWER).

Go to sammobile and download the stock rom then flash via odin.

Thank for the help. I got this figured out earlier today in another post.. fully recovered and with multi window running. I do however appreciate your attention.

I'm not understanding how to do this. My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Bell version 317 which I understand is the same as AT&T. I have unlocked and rooted my device on 4.1.1 and have Root explorer installed. Downloaded the update link and copied that file into the /cache folder....unrooted via superuser. When I try to get in2 recovery it is successful but I don't know what to do from there.....there's an option to format cache which I'm assuming will delete everything in that folder.
Also, I cannot install the zip via external sd card which the update is also on
Any help?
Also using a Mac

Bricked? Please help!!!

Hey guys,
I was running AOKP 4.2.1 and tried to upgrade to AOKP D2TMO_JB_MR_1_build-3 using Goo Manager. I created a backup and tried flashing the new OS with GApps.
When I rebooted, I got the message that the 'Setup Wizard has crashed'. Unfortunately when I hit OK, it keeps looping and I can't get out. When I try again and reboot, I get the Google X and it is stuck there.
I can't seem to boot into TWRP to restore (tried Vol Up + Power and Vol Down + Power and Vol Up and Down + Power). Any thoughts?

It won't boot normally at all? Can you link me the rom directly that you flashed? I would assume a rom from them off their official Goo.im host would be safe, but errors can be made. If your computer recognizes your phone it can be saved.
Here is what I found http://goo.im/devs/aokp/d2tmo I wouldn't hesitate one bit to flash this, neither did 150 people, I'm curious as to what happened to your phone.

You also need to hold the center home button to enter recovery.

Let us know what happens and report the file size of the rom you downloaded... If you know how to check the MD5

When you get back into your phone, download md5 checker from the Play Store.

I got restored fine. Looks like the files have been deleted by Goo since the install worked as far as it was concerned. I think I will hold off on upgrading for a while.
BTW .. did AOKP stop development? Seems as if this new build was authored by someone else

Kasper quit devving for now as life got in the way... Jamison is starting to dabble and there is Bajee with rootbox which has Aokp inside with other options, I suggest his ROM for future nightlys and development

Could there be an issue if the phone, according to the build prop, is a Nexus? I've always wondered what would happen if I updated a ROM through GooManager while I'm cruising as a Nexus.

If going through goo it'll try and flash a recovery for the nexus, tell you nexus Roms are compatible for you, I think that's what happens. Why not just change it back to sgh T-999? And d2tmo within the build.prop.

That's what I was wondering. So, you might as well just reboot into recovery in the first place.

that and download from the site where you know you are getting d2tmo stuff.

Tab 3 7" T210R is slow and won't root!!! HELP?

Gentlemen,
This tab is slow....keyboard is very laggy. So I figured I'd root it and load a ROM to it.... I flashed the file listed in the thread,
however, power, home and up won't go.... upon ocsassion, it wil bring me into factory mode..... wierd. My s3 and 4 rooted just fine,
so I'm no stranger to that......
Suggestion? Is there something I'm missing?
Other suggested in antother thread to reload factory firmware from sammobile...... I don't believe it would solve anything......
Thanks guys

You should try to flash the original firmware and see if it would fix it. Before doing it backup your data in case it doesn't fix

When flashing recovery, do not check auto reboot on odin and when it says pass after a successful flash, do the three combos then flash universal root.zip thing then qualla, your device has been rooted

I used this link - Worked just like the video showed except I found that after flashing the TWRP recovery tool, I had to hold volume up & home for an extended period before the tool would boot. Watch the screen. After the Samsung logo dissapears, there is a slight glow on the screen. When that glow disappears, release the keys and you should see a lock screen. Swipe and you're in. Good luck.

[Q] Bootloop, no recovery...

I recently installed Cyanogenmod on my friends International (GT-19195) GS4 Mini. He said it was glitchy and ****, and he couldn't sign into his Google account. I then turned the phone off, went straight into recovery and installed a stock firmware. Being as dumb as I am, I didn't erase any data or anything whatsoever, I just installed the stock firmware. Now it hangs on the Samsung logo, and I can't get into recovery, pressing the buttons just doesn't work. I can however get into download mode. Help!
