Hey Everyone,
I have a Note 2 for AT&T and yesterday it didnt work at all. It showed the Samsung logo while booting and it went away. It only does that when the battery is pulled. After a few hours I took it to the AT&T store and they ordered me a replacement but now the phone can be put into download mode and "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." but wont boot past that. I tried using Samsung Kies and nothing. When the replacement comes I will reject it because if I send my old one in they will void the warranty.
While using Odin I get the "Complete(Write) Operation Fails". This morning I downloaded a new firmware (hoping to be the right one) and will follow up.
Anybody have suggestions? :crying:
You say you tried kies ?
Did you try the updater?
Reason I am asking is because you should be using the EFR not the updater when using kies when your phone is bricked or w/e.
Updater wont fix anything.

You will need to flash rom from the link below cuz they are rooted already. Use triangle away to reset counters then unroot using superuser, go to recovery mode and do factory reset in stock recovery. Same steps above I used to put my phone back to official and removed custom / modified status.

Wow youre the man, thanks for making that thread! I will try these methods when I get home!
:good:
Wow!
What worked for me: I searched for the AT&T stock ROM 4.1.1, the file name started with "KIES" something. I must have been running the wrong ROM the whole time. I checked and the counter is up to 8 but the current binary is samsung official and system status is official.
Now how do I get the counter to say "No"

I'm just going to root it again using Odin and run triangle app to remove the counter but just keep it rooted and run performance apps. I honestly don't want to mess with the ROMs anymore.. ROMs are no joke and I've learned my lesson.
Hi
My N7100 has a strange problem.
I switch on wifi, then go to about phone and then software update
Then I click check for updates.
Earlier when no update was available, the phone used to simply say "latest already installed or something like that"
Now it keeps doing "Checking for updates" and this goes on for more than 10 minutes. After that I pressed cancel.
I restarted phone, but no use
I am on stock rom, stock kernel. My phone is rooted though using dr. Ketan's method and I have also reset the flash counter.
Same here....got no clue

So, does this mean, if you root your phone OTA updates are KAPUT??
I did not see this in the rooting threads. I think then we need to add this info, that if you root your phone, update through mobile ODIN only
Since rooters are facing this problem, I have changed the title to reflect the same.
Rooting is a modification in firmware, and OTA can not recognize modified firmwares. If you've rooted without a custom recovery, may be removing root from supersu (or any super user management tool) can fix this problem.
Mine showed 2 different OTA messages after rooting: The first one: "The phone has been modified, etc..." then I used Triangle Away (it always shows 1 in the flash counter though) and now it's stuck in "Searching for updates".
Unfortunately I can't find the stock rom for my country (Honduras). I want to go back to 4.1.1
Of course, sure. Rooting will Disable OTA update. If you wanna get OTA update back, just go to Samsung-update.com
, download the latest firmware with your country name, if your country is not found, choose the nearest country, and then flash it with Odin, then OTA update will available back.

I think as long as you're rooted you can't use OTA updates on Samsung. I got triangle away, status normal, rooted and the same thing happened to me when trying OTA.... so best way to just flash each new update via Odin. Since there is no data loss involved, it is ok. And then root again (it is a 3 minute operation anyway)

Yes if your rooted you can't do it. And your right it would be a lot faster just to flash the update via Odin. But if your just having a bad time with a rooted phone for some messed reason. Then that fourm will help u get back to stock as you can be.

Thanks everyone for the information. I want to go back to 4.1.1 mostly because 4.1.2 has a very annoying auto-rotate bug (the screen gets stuck in landscape or portrait after a while) I also wanted to recover the OTA feature but it's not a big deal now.

After u reset your flash counter and reboot you still have a custom recovery that makes flash counter raise to 1 back again x) if u want to keep flash counter zero and still root u should get prerooted stock roms, there could be other options but i dont know abt that
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yeah... Rooting means losing OTA's
but after all, u could just use mobile odin and download the update from sammobile.
i never really used ota 2 be honest.
good luck
I tested this Awhile ago, But it was with the official rooted firmware flashed via odin, as long that the system is flagged as official OTA works just fine while rooted.
So I did this a couple times now first by accident, then on purpose. If you want to go back to 4.1.2 from 4.3 all you have to do is use Odin. Flash stock 4.1.2 onto 4.3 you get an error "unsupported firmware" then put your phone back into download mode (volume down+home button+power) next flash CF-auto root. After that you can boot into recovery (volume up+home+power) in recovery format everything factory reset, format cache. Last reboot your phone it should reboot into 4.1.2 I think that is how I did it if I remember all the steps right. Feel free to ask questions I don't always explain myself very well.

More importantly, if it has the non-Knox download mode (without the whole 0x1 tidbit), does reinstalling the OTA (which would have the Knox download mode) show 0x1 or 0x1 ??

the million dollar question.
Well to be honest I think the answer to both questions is No. In download mode after I did the ota knox bull has been there. I actually only meant to use auto root on my 4.3 but knox kept on screwing up the root and su would fc. I figured if I started over and used auto root on 4.3 right after flashing rom with odin without letting phone boot and that worked I have 4.3 rooted with su and custom recovery (cwm). So no I didn't find a way to get rid of knox completely. Just a way to go back to 4.1.2 from 4.3.

You need to update supersu when rooting on 4.3. Otherwise it will forceclose.
Sent from my SGH-T889
I'm still thinking that Knox will need to be patched/disabled during the root process (or something along those lines). Samsung claims the the fuse trigger is only capable of being triggered from 0x0 to 0x1 and not back again. So to me the answersolution probably will have to come with segregating Knox from the bootloader/system altogether. It'd be funny if devs could use Knox against itself by segregating it in the very "sandbox" it creates, if that makes sense

Hello All.. After over 5 years of flashing I think I have finally bricked my device.. I am normally great with directions and the forum however I think the latest 4.3 update got me twisted up. Odin'd back to stock and upgraded OTA. All was well.. Then I attempted Chainfire's CF auto root.. All was well and I froze on a phone call.. I battery pulled and now I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".. I tried to go through Kies emergency recovery and it wont accept my serial numbers.. I called t-mobile they told me I need to bring it to a smasung dealer to get "flashed"... I'm at a lost now.. One thing else is when I access download mode I see this Knox Warranty Void : 1.. Does this mean I'm done? I've been trying to read up on this knox and it seems scary to say the least.. yet nothing I read has helped me.. After hors of searching and missing the football game I decided to look to the forums.. Any help is very much appreciated. :crying:
I tried to ODIN back to stock with several .tar files (UVBMB4 and UVALJ1) it fails and shows unsupported version(in red) on the device:crying:

sir, i'm new to this forum and here's my situation:
i have a sgh-t889 t-mobile locked, stock 4.1.2 (UVBMB4) which i erroneously updated to android 4.3 via kies.
i cannot do network unlock because based on my forum searches, only android 4.1.1 can be network unlocked via the method outlined here:

i have odin 3.07 and have already downloaded the following roms:

1.25 GB (1,345,341,538 bytes) (1313811 KB)
can i reflash my sgh-t889 to 4.1.1 safely and do my own unlock?
thanks for any clarification and more power.
If you can flash back to 4.1.2 from 4.3 then you can flash back to 4.1.1 from 4.1.2. That's how I unlocked my phone.

thanks for the suggestion but the 'com' portion of odin 3.07 would not lit up and the following ROMs could not be flashed:

the 'com' portion of odin would only lit up if the sgh-t889 is connected to the pc under usb mode. it would not lit up under download mode.
i have this other 4.1.1 ROM which i did not test yet as of this moment as i'm waiting for more information:
4.1.1 = root66_root66_TMO_T889UVALJ1.tar.md5TMO_T889UVALJ1

re-flashing to lower version via odin 3.07 was successful.

Since you already tripped the knox counter, you can flash the VALL4 tmobile modem and try the same unlock steps in the thread.
The specific modem was all that was required to unlock the t889. I unlocked on 4.1.2 only flashing the older modem and following the unlock steps.

Hello @serein1,
Are you 100% sure you completed the saferoot instructions completely? Also, a good way to test if you do have root is to download Root Checker Also from mine and my friends experience with samsung repairs, they don't care about having a rooted status or a custom status if it has to do with hardware. But, Not everyone is the same at samsung ... Also check if Knox is voided because safe root does not trigger Knox to be disabled. Lastly, if you don't want to risk not getting it repaired I would flash Stock rom using Odin.
Downgrade to stock 4.1.2 rom, then root it, use triangle away to reset the counter and then do the compete unroot.
Done.

I mean where to put the files in pda phone and so on.
Thanks everyone
I have tried the instructions as mentioned for the safe root
it gives error unsupported device and then goes away
there's another thing I have noticed the safe root command prompt window on the top says S4 and not note 2 however I have downloaded the safe root from the note 2 forum section
The knox counter is already set to 1 now DAMN
I also would like to go back to the 4.1.2 and while downgrading using the ODIN it says unsupported on the phone screen and doesn't flashes the phone
How do we downgrade from the 4.3 that has the knox to the 4.1.2
thanks again

Try to find some firmware on sammobile site or here on xda (just search for the word stock).
After that You put the phone into a download mode, connect it to a PC and choose the downloaded (extracted) firmware under the pda/ap button.
Thanks that worked and it is back to stock now.
Now just get the flash counter back to 0 again.
Everything worked out fine and is temporarly replaced by an s3

@ikkeenjij36 how come you can downgrade to stock 4.1.2? Can you show me? What I know is that, bootloader from MK4 above cannot be downgraded, unless you're MJ5 and you need to use Dr.ketan bootloader patch.

I think You can flash some 4.1.2 ROM via CWM and then You will be able to flash some stock 4.1.2.
I ran into a problem when I tried to root my phone. I had experience rooting before with a Samsung tablet so I was surprised with this problem.
Phone Info:
AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317 OTA updated to Android 4.4 before attempting the root
Things didn't go as planned and got hung up during rooting process... Now the phone is stuck with the message about Firmware update
interrupted. I'm not entirely sure how to proceed next and I was hoping to receive some advice from other users who are more experienced
in this area.
I remember reading somewhere that once a device has KitKat 4.4 installed.. you can't use a previous version to restore or something like that.
I hope to have someone respond back to me soon... and please, if you could, give me detailed/step-by-step instructions or advice so I can understand what you mean.. since I'm not an expert in this particular area.
Remember, before the soft-bricking, my phone was running Android 4.4 that was recently installed by AT&T.... so I need a method what works with that.
Yes, I am still able to get into Download Mode...

Thanks for the quick reply
Thanks for the recommendation... However, I did come across that posting but it didn't seem to apply to my particular problem.. I'm not running 4.3, but Android 4.4 on my phone... One thing I'm not sure about is... I tried flashing the original 4.1.2 to my phone (followed instructions from another site on resolving soft bricks) and that process failed... I'm not sure if I need to completely start all over with my phone or if 4.4 is still installed...

I just wanted to thank you for the information you supplied to me. I followed the instructions exactly... after it PASSED in Odin, it did do the hang at the Samsung logo... and I was able to get back into Recovery Mode and do the Factory Reset and Reboot. I'm glad I came here.. I learned something new..
Once again... thank you
