Just let everybody know... If you update to 4.3 by OTA DO NOT try ODIN back to 4.1.x this will BRICK your phone. There is not knowing way yet to downgrate back. Kies are not working too. If you update rooting you phone is litte complicated and some developers working on safe root metod. If you did not upgrate, HOLD ON antil we know more about last 4.3 OTA update.
Just warning to all. There so many people lost they phones.

Ok means wait
Yeah, the only people who should be taking the update are the ones who have never rooted the phone, and never plan on rooting. If you even have a .001% thought about rooting, you should hold off and wait for a workable solution to this. DON'T DECIDE TODAY THAT "WELL I'LL BE OK WITHOUT ROOT" JUST TO TAKE THIS UPDATE, AND THEN IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND BECAUSE YOU MISS YOUR ROOT.
Also if you try to root this latest OTA stock Rom and your phone gets stuck, then you might be stuck for a while, as there is not a proven way yet to fix it. As has been shown in some of the other theads, there is no way to downgrade it to a working state, and there is no official software (from Kies) to flash over it with. I'm still waiting to hear that someone was able to flash a custom Rom, as this has not yet been confirmed either.

CF Autoroot has been reported to work, however, I'm with you, until I know for sure I can install CM 11, I'm avoiding this update like its got herpes..
I like some of the TW stuff, but to not be able to custom ROM it after would really piss me off.
What makes 4.3 worth updating to. IE does it still have multi window or anything upgrade worthy besides locked boot loader?

Oh now I hear about this...
I hate Samsung now for creating all of these extra blocking "features"...
Why would they want to make the phone brick when trying to downgrade from 4.3?
That sounds like something Apple would do but I expected more from Samsung.
I guess now I can't send it in for my scheduled warranty. sigh.

Like the other guy said Nandroids, ROMs, etc. Plus the bugs are really immense on 4.3. The number one reason is because it's my phone and I want to run 4.1.2 not 4.3 but unfortunately it soft bricked when I tried to downgrade. I don't know why samsung added these features that are causing bricks.

However, all my frozen apps still have not appeared in my app drawer so I'm happy with that.
FYI, although I have seen people post that they re-rooted via SuperOneClick after updating to 2.3.6, I find this highly suspect.. it did not work for me as well as many others and I know what I am doing
Ended up re-rooting via Odin which was successful, but I seriously doubt SuperOneClick will work for anyone...
Also, I suggest a factory reset before or after the update.. there were a few glitches that did not go away until a Factory Reset..
Other than that, have at it! ROM runs superb.

Don't believe this is an update. This is simply the stock firmware that came with the phone. It might come in handy if/when something goes terribly wrong and a backup won't fix your issue.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the stock tar or not.....
BUT if it is, you should be able to just restore your stock nandroid and pull out the recovery file and put that in the pda slot of odin.
Or just put the entire tar in the pda slot... looking for some confirmation on this

I'm just concerned about whether that Device Status field in the About Phone settings is something that is stored underneath the OS and can't be changed once you flash something. This would be an easy indicator that the phone has been messed with and clear void of warranty for normally clueless reps even if you do a return to stock type flash. Before I rooted, it said "Factory Mode“ but now says "Modified“. I haven't touched anything else other than flashing CWM and Superuser.
Just checked for updates as described in other threads and it found the latest 4.3 update. I have read both positive and negative responses to the update. Some found things they used in 4.1.2 that are being taken away. Some like the new features in 4.3. It will vary from person to person whether the ROM is better for them or not. Fact is, all devices (current and future) are moving forward.
Should I just install the update? Should I make a copy of my current setup with one of the recoveries, then odin back, and run triangle away?
Strange. I went ahead and updated. Even after doing two complete resets, I still have SU app from 4.1.2. I guess it carried the program during the upgrade process?

Hopefully someone will develop something that resets the KNOX counter. Triangle worked for 4.1.2, but does not work in 4.3 for me.

yes the boot loader is locked. I don't believe there's a workaround it yet. but I'm even sure. you can scroll around through the threads and see if there is. what I did was just update it anyways and tripped my KNOX boot loader to ox1. I didn't have warranty anyways so I'm not tripping over it. and then I just rooted it, flashed cwm and started to flash ROMs.

Nothing yet. All we can do is wait and see. Since there are no updates about progress that I've found from those who've posted the patches, there is no good way to estimate how long, or even if, at this point.
I haven't ever tried it, but if you're S-ON and are on 4.3 will the phone block you from flashing the old 605.15 encrypted RUU?

What he is saying is that if you used rumrunner or sent it in to gain S-OFF, all you would have to do is download the superuser zip file and in TWRP flash the superuser file. When you reboot you might need to update the binaries but that would do it.

Has anyone tried taking the .15 encrypted RUU after taking the 4.3 update who is NOT rooted? I need to send my phone in for camera pink tint and am worried they will update it to 4.3 after returning to stock.

No, it won't work, it prevents your from downgrading, as HTC software has always done.
If I had a locked device, there are a couple things I would try to see if I could make it work.
Likely they wouldn't though, and I'd hate to get anyone's hopes up or send them down an unsuccessful path.
Bottomline being, there is currently no way to unlock, or to downgrade from a locked 4.3 device, to achieve an unlock.

Oh yeah I've been trying. I tried multiple downloads from multiple sources but they all hang up at the checking main version action and then fail. It's pretty much just playing the waiting game for rum runner and attempting patience. I'm not too hopeful for anything in the next few weeks since everyone has been busy with Christmas and such and New Years coming up. But if it can be done, the devs on here will do it.
How do I reboot or get a 4.3 version knox free or bypass knox moderator edit superuser lol.. friend borrowed phone uprooted and updated to 4.3 ota.
Now knox kicks super user and force closes .
I read there's a way I think to re root I think maybe by Mr Robison root 66.
All I wanna so is either be on a 4.1.2 rooted Rom or 4.3 that doesn't affect superuser What's the method ?

Well KNOX is on your phone now and there is no way (yet) to get rid of it. Try updating su in the play store. The new version can get around it.

Buy root Explorer from the market then go to System then apps look for knox and remove it I think there are like 3 knox files then reboot and then your knox free

Good thought but I don't think it's that simple.. It's well noted that there isn't a way to safely bypass or remove it yet If your method Was the case it would be all over the forum and probably one of the first things tried the day 4.3 ota was pushed .
Its built in the bootloader . I'm not sure what damage would cause if i try removing with a root explorer app.

Good morning,
I am no WIZ but it seems to me that all you would need to do is revert (flash) your NOTE 2 back to a stock, Predated to 4.1.1 OEM T-Mobile Rom.
However, since XDA is a creative lot, there is really no reason for me to presume that you still use T-Mobile as your carrier; not that it makes much difference at this point, So rather than being the horses ass as I sit here making my first post and since I am too new to be allowed to make life easy on you by merely laying down the link, go to Galaxynote2toroot under the heading of stock firmware. I think you will find your answers there. The site lists most all of the original or at least those firmwares you might use including those after 4.1 and prior to v 4.30. They have flashing tools as well...probably light-fingered from here (smiling) but in any case it seemed to be a simple method to get you where you want to go.
Sidebar: Personally, I am going to contribute to the cause supporting the old turned new GalaxyNOTE2 Toolkit v4.1.0. conjured up by mskip http://forum.xda-developers.com.php?=1957720 because I think it is and will continue to be a pretty swish tool to prevent me making the typical, wreck your Note2 rookie mistakes. And I secretly plan over time to make him a friend so he'll help me when I falter. It is a wonderment to me how complicated but pro tool accepting the little bastards be.
So, depending on your expertise in these matters, you might take a look as well, In any case I hope you get it fixed.
Best regards,
dm
