The only issue with odin update is that it cleans the internal memory! And I don't want that, I have alot of data in that.
Yes, I can copy that and paste later but then it ****s up whatsapp files and images and sometimes the android folder :/
Ps, phone is not rooted! Any way to get the update without wiping the internal?

Yes, flash with Mobile Odin Pro and enable Everroot, you`ll loose CWM recovery though. Flash this https://hotfile.com/dl/176065007/332cffb/cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar.html with Mobile Odin also and you`ll have CWM back.
So first i will flash the big file 1.3gb and after the small one u mantioned me above right?

So I was reading around the web - particularly on Droid-Life that the Verizon Note II now has been updated to fix the Exynos-related bug. Now, I'm on the international LTE model - GT-N7105 - and sooner or later I will receive the update as well. Now, as stated in the article linked earlier , a rooted user tried downloading the update and failed. So there's the backstory.
Now, as for my question. I will obviously have to unroot (which I am looking to do anyways) but here's the thing. I rooted using the ExynosAbuse apk from Chainfire. That makes the status in Settings -> About device set to "Custom", thereby preventing me from receiving OTA updates. ExynosAbuse has an unroot button. When pressed, it tells you to reboot to complete the process and then to reboot around 10 minutes later since it might reset the status to "Normal". Well, it doesn't do that for me.
So I used another tool by Chainfire; TriangleAway to set my ODIN flash counter back to 0 (in case it was causing anything; didn't check.)
Now, I used TriangleAway get around the "Modified" thing. Experimented with the 'Allow tracker to run' feature and ended up getting my flash counter to be 0 and my system status to say normal.
When the update arrives, I will probably have to unroot. However, as previously stated, my system status will go Modified when I do. So here's the question (and TL;DR):
TL;DR: I am having TriangleAway set to allow the tracker to run in order to have my system status "Normal" and I want to unroot in order to receive the update that has started rolling out. However, disabling the tracker and unrooting will set my device status to "Custom". That will prevent me from receiving the update. What do I do?
Additional info: I have not flashed ANYTHING custom - I only rooted for a few Xposed tweaks.
Thanks for your time.
Flash stock rom and then update.

1. Download the correct firmware update from sammobile.com
2. Update your firmware thru Odin
And you will have a fresh firmware with Status Normal.

Okay, so to clear this up:
- Will flashing the latest firmware in Odin (or Heimdall, which I'll be using; OSX...) wipe my phone? Will it though the flash counter?
- Can it be done through Mobile Odin without keeping root? Will using Mobile Odin to update my firmware wipe my phone?
Thanks for your patience with me, guys.
You wanna send phone for warranty ?
If no then forget about counter and flash latest stock firmware.
And flashing stock rom via odin won't delete anything.

Awesome, one last thing, if I used ExynosAbuse to root (the exploit which this update patches), and I use Mobile Odin's "EverRoot" feature, do you think it will still work? Thanks
Yeah but mobile odin can't flash tar images. You gotta flash via pc odin.
Then can root via cf auto root.

Not done downloading the latest stock image from sammobile but it downloads as a zip. Is this a flashable zip or is it a zip containing the tar file? If it is flashable, I can just use mobile odin, right?
[edit] it was mentioned that Mobile Odin does not support .tar.md5 files. It says that it does in the description?
It contains *.tar.md5
It isn't flushable via mobile Odin.
Only pc Odin.
Make sure your version is dll7 or ubdll3

Sprint is pushing out a minor update and 3 times now I've tried to accept it and when the phone restarts the TWR screen comes up with all its options.
I don't know what the heck to do from there! So, I just reboot the phone but don't get the update.
How do I accept the update on that TWR screen?

You have to be on a stock recovery to be able to flash OTA updates. You're going to have to reflash the stock recovery for your device. Try doing it through mobile odin and tell it to flash only the recovery partition.
Cheers!

What is mobile odin?
You have the stock rom ?
If yes then open it with 7zip. Extract the recovery. Img
And flash it via mobile odin.

Apologies for my questions but I have stared at your post for days, weeks even and I still don't understand. I was embarrassed to ask but I have to because the notification to install the update comes multiple times a day now.
Where, and HOW, do I open the ROM?
Is this all done on the phone itself?
Do I install 7zipon my phone?
Do you have the stock rom? If yes flash it.

Than You for even offering help. You are Kind.
Yes my friend. I am rooted and I have the stock ROM.
I've flashed ROMs before but have never flashed a ROM that was already active.
How would I do that?
So sorry to ask.
Just flash the rom as a normal one.
Then update via ota.

Hi all,

My question is with the new update coming to 4.2, is it possible to update my firmware even though I am rooted as when I click check for updates on the phone it says I cant as I am rooted.
Will I have to un root and then upgraded (when it finaly arrives) then root again?

Don't complicate things Just download lates ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and flash with Odin. Then root again, it is a 3 minute process.... you won't loose any settings, data or apps.
U can update using mobile Odin when the new 4.2 firmware when its available via samMobile. It will keep the root. I hv been using it to update the last few times.

Hi all, i am total noob in android phones and the note 2 (was an ardent BB fan over many years).
Quick question if you guys don't mind.
I have Mobile Odin and I have rooted me phone; what I'm absolutely unsure of is, the new 4.2 firmware when it's available, where do I head to to download it? Do i save it as a zip file in the ext SD card and install it via Mobile Odin from there? If not, please advise the how-to please.
Many thanks for helping out this total noob.

If you flash with mobile Odin, there is option to keep the root. If you flash with Odin, you must root again, which is a 3 minute process, so IMHO is not a big deal. I dunno about TWRP since I don't have custom recovery, I don't want my counter raising

Isn't there an option in Mobile Odin (paid version) to do exactly this ?
I guess SuperSU pro has OTA survival mode, that protects root access if you use the official Samsung OTA update. Full ROM flashes via PC Odin will not preserve root, Mobile ODIN will preserve root if you select the option.
I thought that samsung disables ota updates for rooted or "Modified" systems?

if you dont understand best to search google for how to flash firmware via odin
in order to change firmwares on a samsung phone you use a tool called odin to flash the firmware onto your phone - that is the only way to change your firmware in this samsung phone if software update/kies update does not work
