Hi!
I was running stock 4.1.2 and was rushing to upgrade the 4.3 (I'm on N7105). Knowing what I know now, I should have read more about Samsung KNOX. I strongly advise you to read more about it especially if your phone is still under waranty.
Keep in mind that for now, it's NOT POSSIBLE to downgrade from 4.3 down to 4.1.2 or other versions. Tried it myself- doesn't work.
However, what just might save you is if you have a nandroid backup of your last system (like 4.1.2).
Hope this helps...
Cheers

Easiest way is to follow a guide to get you nexus back to stock via fastboot won't take more than 15 minutes get the 4.1.2 images here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images There are instruction all over xda to achieve this only thing you might have to do is change file names if the guide isn't up to date other than that the commands are the same.

no, the update is failing because you are on a custom rom.
if you want the update, you need to go back to stock and then re-root.
there's a sticky at the top of this forum.

You should not really care much about OTA updates once you have a custom ROM on your device. I can see maybe flashing back to stock if you wanted to sell the device, but for any other updates you should check the ROM you like and just see when it is updated.

4.1.2 is the latest official version available. You'll have to wait for the next release, which will be whenever Sammy decide to give it to us, to upgrade.

Well I already went ahead and did the upgrade 4.3 dn3 version
Working good so far .... but I think features like smart stay and smart pause not working....
Also It got most of the note3 features which m happy about :thumbup:
There been some post where for note2 you will get 4.3 version android but it will b without note3 features..... to get note3 features you can use "note3 experience" app available on play store .. havent tried that since I got my custom rom running already and I came to know about it later
3 days already and rom running good

Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)
The main reason for me to expect 4.3 is the bluetooth LE (4.0).
Any other way to get this ?

Smart scroll and smart pause also working on dn3 version 2
Flash it and you will never go back... awesome

Bro..just download the prerooted MI6 firmware for JB 4.3,it wont raise your binary counter and your phone's status will remain official.It also doesn't contain the KNOX enabled bootloader.
Or you can also download MJ5 version firmware.It does contain KNOX enabled bootloader but you can roll back to old bootloader after following dr. ketan's instructions in one of his threads.
Both these firmwares wont increase your binary counter and will keep it official.
Also group play is nice
There is a way now in application managerr where you can move apps from device to sd directly.. and so its pretty nice :thumbup::thumbup:

Need help regarding 4.1.2 update

I'm new on this forum and I'm from India.. Recently I got one AT&T S3 i747 unlocked version for my dad and it's running with the 4.1.1 version..
While trying to update through OTA it shows there's no update and I would like to update to the 4.1.2 version...
Could someone tell me how to update to 4.1.2 manually and will there be any problem with the network since I'm from India.. Coz all the 4.1.2 roms in Samsung updates website are for Canada or US

anybody with a solution??
I found this here and it should help get you to 4.1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388065 I believe you need to be already rooted with a custom recovery on 4.1.1 and then from there you can flash the .zip but factory wipe and backup before hand. I also don't think you need to download the modem from there just the 4.1.2 ROM
PROCEED AT YOUR ON RISK

[Q] New To Andriod And Need Urgent Help

first of all hello to the best Team in the world and happy new year
i am new to andriod and i have a galaxy note 2 N7100 and i heard that rooting the phone gives more advanced options i got the toolkit from your adorable web site and rooted my phone but because am beginner i want to upgrade my phone to 4.3 or 4.4 but i don't know know to do it . i only can deal with videos and pics guides that's why i liked the tool kit and rooted my phone so please can any one help me with details ( pic's or videos ) how can i upgrade my jelly bean to 4.3 or 4.4 ? or even is it better to stay on 4.1.2 or to upgrade ?
Thanks alot guys and waiting for reply
Whatever u do, don't upgrade to 4.3 by official updates because you will lose warranty. If you want to keep it clean then this is what u need to do:
1. Install custom recovery ( I recommend. Philz's)
2. Flash Mj5 bootloader ( very important so you can keep your warranty)
3. Now you can do whatever u like. Flash custom roms etc.
I know it's not much explained but I'm sure someone who's got more time will explain better. This is just quick guide so you can stay safe.

i already lost the warranty after makeing a custom rom for the 1st time
i already lost the warranty after makeing a custom rom for the 1st time now after losing the warranty i cant upgrade the official update it says that your phone is modified and software updates are not available so i want to update manually by a custom rom
You only lose warranty if they can proof that you modified your mobile. If you have not used official 4.3 update then it's easy to restore your phone to stock with out any trace of previous modifications. Install custom recovery which is designed for installation of custom roms. Read this forum and you will find all the answers. Remember don't use official 4.3 updates for now until your knowledge is a little bigger. Regards

I would go for 4.3. 4.4 is not stable enough for everyday use, and 4.1.2 is slower than 4.3. Find some ROM with Note 3 pack, you will have more options and features and they're pretty bug free.
If your new to android have a read of some of Dr ketan's guides. They are very helpful and noob friendly. You won't go far wrong if you follow his advice
