I was looking for hours on here searching for the ota update file for the MC3 update when I came across a thread that had a link to a dev host profile and when I clicked it, it said the file was deleted. So, I was wondering if anybody has the MC3 untouched ota update they could send me? I'm currently on the AT&T Note 2 using T-Mobile so when I go to check for updates through the System Updates under settings, it goes straight to the Update Interrupted screen and won't receive any updates. I'm assuming this is because I'm not on AT&T...I have restored all the way back to the first firmware and have made it up to MA4 and this is where I'm stuck. Lol.

my girlfriends desire got an ota update today. Its rooted. i did a nandroid restore to right after i rooted it. when it booted back up, it said there was update available. download it and installed it. Her build/system number is now 1.28.557.4. So then i nandroid back to the same date on my phone and waited to see if i would get a ota update but haven't recieved anything. My build/system number is 1.28.557.0
anyone know or recieved the same update? if so, what does it fix? i attached it if anyone wants it
You shouldn't apply OTA updates to rooted phones, it will likely screw things up
I have seen that the official Jelly Bean update has come out from Verizon for the Galaxy Nexus, but my phone doesn't see it.
My phone is rooted but has no custom ROMs installed. Is anyone else having this issue or are you able to update? I'm just trying to figure out why my phone doesn't see the update. I go through Settings/About Phone/System Updates and it says that 4.0.4 is up to date with no other updates.
Do i have to un-root the phone to get the official update?
Thanks
Try dialing *#*#checkin#*#*
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
no, you dont need to unroot to ota.
sent from my i9250
Thanks for the info. I tried the 'checkin' but the update still didn't appear. Guess I'll just have to give it another day or so before I resort to calling Verizon (the horror!) and complain to them about it.

No the status of your phone being rooted or not will not change whether you're notified of the OTA. It will always notify you. If you're rooted and kept a custom recovery, the OTA will not be able to automatically install. Also, if you've changed or removed any files in the /system/ folder, the OTA will likely fail. If you've changed your radio the OTA will not apply either.

Have a read of the first and second posts in this stickied thread. It will show you how to install the update yourself, and any prerequisites.
You checked "Yes this is a question"
That means it goes in Q&A

I updated to JB yesterday with the OTA on T-mobile. I am rooted and used OTA root keeper to restore root. I went to change my build.prop file to change the display density. What I didn't do was use the new build.prop from JB. So I softbricked my phone. I restored to UVALH2 and was going to get the OTA's to go back to JB. When I click on "Software Update" it says I am up to date. I noticed that my baseband is still JB's.
The question here is, does software update go off of what is listed for the Baseband or the Build Number?
Solved
Haven't made too many posts where I need to update afterwards. I decided to reflash UVLH2 modem. Once back in phone I went to about device and tried to do the SW update. It prompted me for download.
So, from what I can tell here, OTA are based upon your radio version, to answer my own question. Good day!
Glad you got it figured out. All of that is covered in the Official Jelly Bean thread.
This one is closed. If anyone uses search (ya right jk) and this thread comes up, just go to the above thread.
I'm in Cincinnati Ohio, and I have a *completely stock and non-rooted* Note 2. I have been trying to get this OTA update since it came out, but no dice so far.
It basically just says that no update is available - the same message everyone else reported. Am I just in an area where it has not been rolled out for *anybody*? Or is there something going on?
I know on my Nexus 7 I had to clear the data on a google service to get it to notice when the Kit Kat update showed up - anything like that for the Note 2?
Thanks.
P.S.
I have searched both XDA and with google, and completely read through the main large thread in this forum relating to the update.
I don't want to load the update in any other way that will wipe my phone. I understand that many of you don't feel like waiting for an OTA, and download these updates and load them manually. I do not want to do that. So, this post is only seeking information as to how I can get the OTA update through the update mechanism in the phone.

Have you tried updating through KIES?

No, I don't even have it installed. If I decide to install KIES, does it do the update without wiping the phone - just like the OTA?
I just don't like installing vendor crapware on my computers unless it is absolutely necessary. Which is why I don't own electronics with a "i" prefix.
Ok, I installed KIES and attached is an error message it gives relating to a firmware update

Crap, nevermind. I got this phone via trade and it turns out that the guy I got it from had rooted it at some time in the past... So no OTA for me. I'll accomplish it the way all the other folks have.
Thanks
Some time ago I loaded a firmware onto my VZW S8+ (G955U) which I thought was a legitimate firmware. However, I've never been able to update the phone since. The firmware that I loaded was CRE1 and since loading that, no OTA updates have occurred and even trying to use the VZW update tool, I get an error saying no update for that firmware or something to that effect.
I assume that I would need to flash back to a base version 8 firmware and then see how things go from there but I haven't been able to locate a base v8 firmware - assuming that is the direction I need to go.
Can anyone advise? The phone is not rooted. I did see one other similar thread with CRE1 firmware from 2018 - I can try downloading the closest firmware to CRE9 that I can find, which is CRK9, and see if I can get it to load.
Other suggestions/ideas are welcome!
[UPDATE]
So I essentially followed another post here and using Odin 3.13.1 I loaded CRK1, the oldest I could find that was near CRE1, and the phone came back up and pretty much immediately notified of an OTA update. About 12 or so OTA updates later and I'm at the current OTA release.
I'm having the same issue. I bought a VZW S8+ (G955U) from eBay Seller mistyelectronics that was supposed to be new in box. It has never updated since I received it almost a year ago. It stuck on Software Version G955USQS5DSE5. Any insight or advice to go the same route? I used Odin years ago. Where would I look for the files to load to the phone?
I appreciate any help you can give.
