I think you will need to be back on stock with a stock recovery. I tried flashing an ota a while ago when was stock rooted and it failed at 25% or somewhere in there

Yes and you need to be unrooted as well. You can use OTA Rootkeeper from the market to temp un-root, take OTA and the re-root.
I have the stock recovery, and I do have that app. I'll give it a go.

Where would one pick up just the stock recovery that they had in UVLH2?

If you have Mobile Odin you can load up the whole FW and then pick only recovery to flash.
Also Cybernook has a stock recovery a few threads down, but we are not sure which version it is.
Or if you can wait just a bit ill get it uploaded and get out the link.

Ah, yea forgot. Yea I still have the h2 image I used somewhere but forgot mobile Odin can flash just the recovery section of that.
Thanks!

The OTA isn't available to everyone yet. My phone is stock and not rooted and the OTA doesn't show up yet.

I'm rooted and status says im modified... how can I get this update without plugging in Kies?
I think we will need to unroot, then do the update via ota.

Unroot to get Multiwindow update?

Hey Guys,
Just heard that the update is coming to canada on Wednesday. Will I need to unroot my note 2 for the update to work? Can I use CF method to re root again once the update has completed?

As long as you have stock recovery you are good. However after the update you may loose root, and your device status may say modified unless you factory reset.

Thanks, I guess I will wait until Wednesday to find out. Which root method have you guys used with the multiwindow update?
Wait so if I have TWRP Recovery, I can't update to 4.1.2?

Ota would not work this morning. It downloaded and attempted to install but once the phine rebooted it said firmware failed to install.

Remove root.
Then install update.
Reapply root.
I'd recommend a custom rom. You get so much more. And it's been multi Window 4.1.2 since October.

Lose root

If I update to 4.3 will I lose root? Not running a custom rom just rooted.

just wait for the devs
Agreed, why update, lose root, or go through any of that headache. A rooted flashable zip will be along in no time.
Thanks guys

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Well first I think you mean mc2 and mk4. Mc2 is the last 4.1.2 release and mk4 is the new 4.3 release which is what you are using.
