hi. I'm having trouble with my phone
some days ago, my phone is having trouble because of the 'broken' booting
after it happens,I go to the recovery mode by using (if I'm not mistaken) volume up+home+power
then,I chose the factory reset & it works!
after that, I tried to update my firmware by using Kies & it's still happens.
but because there's some software problems in my laptop, I have to cancel it asap
but then,when I try to update it in my apartment, it says that I can't update my phone because the software is not original
I seen the root sign in my phone,but is it true that because of my phone has been rooted,it can't be updated?
FYI,I bought it in used condition & rooted
how can I make my phone normal again & how to be able to update it using the original update in this condition?
thank you very much

If you have a custom recovery installed then you could just download and flash a 4.3 rom in the development section.
but you could just unroot your phone and you could update it to 4.3 through the ota, it's up to you. If you want to unroot look in the android development section and there should be a guide in the stickied threads.
So, u mean that it will be solved after I unroot my phone?
Because I want to use the original one, actually...
Thank you

Hi,
I have had my lg Optimus G for quite sometime now, almost since it came out. I have had it rooted since day 1 of owning it. We received the JVC firmware update, and i followed the instructions to install and re-root. It was all working just fine, wireless tether, all my root apps, ect. I went to test to see if my boot loader was still installed and i restarted my phone trying to bring up the custom recovery. It brought up the stock recovery menu. The only thing i can do now is go into stock recovery or download mode. It keeps rebooting. I just tried to LNGST but it just simply does the same thing after it reboots, it goes right back to stock recovery menu, or i can get it into download mode if its plugged in. Any suggestions on what i can try next? or is my phone completely pooched. I was using the JVB .bin during LNGST. Please any help you can provide would be awesome, this is my main means of communication.

A factory reset should get you going. You'll probably lose your SD with stock recovery reset though.

Well actually nothing in that menu worked, so i ended up trying teenybins a minute ago the stock zvb and it appears to have fixed my phone. I just reinstalled zvc on it. Im going to reroot and unlock with feegee again, i didnt unlock it last time, maybe thats what the issue was.
So i just Re-installed ZVC, and Re-rooted, and used Free-gee to gain unlock again. I have reboot several times and it looks like im good to go. Hopefully this forum will help people if they ever get the issues i did.
First and foremost, thank you for any help and advise at all.
Had 4.3 ota.... Flashed cwm thru odin. Restarted the phone, it will not boot past the "samsung galaxy note 2" screen. Flashed stock rom thru odin, still stuck at the samsung note 2 screen. I can get into download mode with no issues whatsoever. I cannot get into recovery mode, whether stock or cwm. Nothing. Can I flash another 4.3 or 4.4 rom thru odin? I just need my phone working again..... thanks gentlemen
Also, I have tried flashing back to stock with odin, I have tried flashing to and earlier version with odin. Nothing. As stated above, I can get into download mode. I cannot get into recovery of any kind. Also, I have no idea how to enter emergency recovery mode to try and restore with kies...... I am lost and have a paper weight as of now thanks again guys

Was your 4.3 OTA rooted before you flashed CWM?
I'm having similar issues. Stuck on the Note II screen, and no recovery. I have only ever had stock recovery. I can get into download mode, but ven after using Odin to get back to stock, I have the same issue. I assume this has something to do with the boot loader. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Use Kies to emergency recover back to stock 4.1.1.
Steps. (READ ALL BEFORE STARTING)
1.) Downloads Kies onto your pc
2.) Install drivers to pic
3.) Open Kies and go to TOOLS > instal/upgrade firmware.
4.) Kies will ask you for you device model. AT&T = SHE I317. And your serial number. Located behind the battery.
5.) Hit start in Kies it will down load the stock firmware to your PC. Follow the instructions.
6.) It will eventually ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it to the pc. Do this.
7.) Don't touch it. It is going to take about 10-20 min depending on your Internet speed and your computer.
When it is complete your phone will be back to stock. The same it was the day you pulled it out of the box.
***I would also make sure you back up any data on your phone because it will delete the sd card. It is also wise to remove any external storage sd.
****when finished you can re root using cf auto root or take the OTA update to get you back to 4.3.

Kies doesnt work. It does the whole process and then fails with an error message and put the phone in emergency recovery mode but does not give you a recovery code.
What is the error you get in Kies?
If you are using Kies correctly it should work. It is designed to completely restore your phone.

It gives you an error! It does not say what kind of error, it said, just an error, and contact Samsung support.
Yet, on phone display I am getting : "Unsupported Version" in red message.
So, I am guessing - THIS is a good way to recover your Note2 IF, and only IF your phone is NOT bricked.
Damn, I am very close to smash that thing into the wall.................
Lets arrange the facts, BC there must be the way out................
One CAN get back from 4.3 (or even from 4.4) to 4.1.1. I know i did.
All was fine until receiving first OTA update to 4.1.2
And this is when one got stock in white letters Galaxy Note II screen............any ideas why?

Not sure how you came to try this but great job. I did massive testing yesterday with Zen trying to get from stock LJ2 ODIN, all the way to the 4.3 update.
I never thought it was possible, but encountered the same problem of not being able to get to recovery. Regardless of what I tried.
Luckily I remembered you and found this.
That was crazy, I thought my phone was toast. Thanks again.
Had a similar experience recently moving to jedi master x2
After reboot I was left staring at the galaxy note 2 screen for an hour.
Nothing I would typically have done worked including a restore of my nandroid.
So i went back to basics.
Used Odin 2.85
Switched to CWM from TWRP(i prefer and am back on TWRP)
From CWM I was able to finally install the rom and get to swipe screen.
I was still anxious on boot and it took a while though.
good luck
You rocked. This worked absolutely fine. Where did you find this file.

Did you get it working? Mine has the same issue. Sucks...
Kies does not work with a Note II.
hey! any solution, ???
KIes 3
I downloaded the newest version of Kies, it is called Kies 3. My note 2 connects to it easily. I have not had to try the emergency repair. Here is the link for it. Hope it helps.

I used the above mention Kies procedure to return my phone to working condition. I was also stuck on the Samsung logo for hours. I tried flashing several backups in Clockwork mod several times for several hours. My sd card would not mount as well. I could use wifi but no phone service. During the Kies process it prompted me to do an emergency repair which I did but this was only after doing a factory reset, and cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe. I followed the steps by ShrekOpher and my phone was returned to 4.1.2 stock. My new problem is that I made the mistake of updating to 4.3 OTA and now have a locked bootloader. Everything works perfectly except now I'm not rooted. Screen Mirroring works perfect which was the main reason for my misadventure. I'm wondering if I root manually will my screen mirroring be disabled like it was when I was on the unofficial 4.3?
Screen mirroring checks for rooted status and won't run if detected.
See bottom of post #2 here for a link to a solution to that...

Hello there,
I've previously used Odin to install several versions on several phones, so at leas I know some very basics, like, using Odin and what not.
Here's my problem. I rooted my 4.3, it gave me some trouble, and the main reason I wanted it rooted was to get backups for my apps. Turns out I can back up my data with carbon "rooted-unrooted" so I decided to ditch the root since it was giving me some hassle with the security update thing and titanium was not working properly. "had to do some other stuff and I was kind of tired.
Turns out I tried to install my other official firmware I had "4.1". Sadly, upon using Odin with it, it now says that I'm trying to install an unsupported version and won't proceed... I'm stuck in here because I cannot restart by pressing up+power because it gives me an error and says I need to restart in download mode.
I was wondering if installing a fresh copy of 4.3 would fix this. Yet I've been unable to find any actual official files... yeah... I know this sounds pathetic, but... I've been herer for an hour + and have not found either a solution or the original 4.3 file or whichever file I would need for this.
Decided to turn unto this community which has helped me a lot in the past to solve all my previous issues.
So... How do I install a fresh 4.3 or how do I get out of this mess? My cell phone doesn't turn on, it just tells me the following:
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I had 4.3 installed with all the security crap on it, so when I go to download mode and install 4.1, it says that the verison is unsopported...
Thank you all in advance.
Download Mr Robinson's 4.3 rooted ROM from here.
Flash it via ODIN and you should be good to go.
Your phone is already on 4.3 bootloader and it is not letting you downgrade to any version below it.
Hi, I'm from Italy and my uncle send me an SGH-i747.. I've unlocked it for use my Italy Sim.
The phone is currently 4.1.1 and it doesn't check update. Kies says me that the 4.1.1 is the latest update.. I've download OTA Updater but it says that the rom haven't got otaupdater.otaid or it is empty.
I hope you can help me. :3 Sorry for my bad english.

You won't be able to get an OTA update in Italy because the update is delivered via AT&T which you probably don't have access to. You would need to have a valid AT&T SIM card in the phone with Wi-Fi access. You may be able to update manually in 2 steps first to 4.1.1 and then to 4.3 which is the latest OS version by following the process in the thread below ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423
Download the 2 stock files for 4.1.2 and 4.3 respectively. Copy both zips to a good quality micro SDHC card
Power off the phone. Place the SD card into your phone. Boot into recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the volume up, power and home buttons. Wait until you see a blue message flash across the screen then release the power button but continue to hold the volume up and menu button until the Android image appears. Install the 4.1.2. Wait for the process to finish and your phone to reboot. Power off again and repeat for 4.3. Hope this helps you.
Now I try, Thanks .. But I've need to Root my phone?
I've tried to update to 4.1.2 but at the restart of the phone, after "rethink is possible" it remain on the Samsung screen... help D:

If you got to that stage, then it worked. Sometimes it takes several minutes for the rest of the set-up menu to come up after reboot. Wait for a while and if nothing comes up, pull out and replace the battery, then reboot into recovery mode. Do a hard wipe/factory reset in recovery mode and reboot.
You do not need to root your phone for this process. In fact, it may not work with a rooted phone. You can, however, still root your phone after the update and there are several ways of doing this. However, first get through the updating process and let's know how that goes.
Really thanks, I've done an Hard Reset and it works.. now i've 4.3 thanks a lot. You can close the thread.
