I've been having stability issues with ROMs lately and want to go back to stock for a little. I was on 4.2.1 when I rooted, so would I just restore my backup or should I flash a stock 4.3 ROM, so I don't end up updating somehow and getting KNOX?
If you haven't updated your bootloader or OTAed to 4.3, I'd first try the Nandroid if I were you, and stay away from 4.3 if possible. There are entirely too many issues around here with the 4.3 update, and no way to go back to complete stock if something goes wrong.

So i rooted my phone a few months back but im still stock, im on 4.0.4 and because if been rooted, i've skipped two updates. What can i do to make the update go through? i still wanna be stock but i know this update jellybean, which i want.
I've read having root blocks the update. There's a rooted version of the stock update in the dev section you can install.

So what's it called, I've been away from the scene for a long while.
All you need to do is download kies and under one of the menus is an option to emergency stock recovery this will take you to both the latest version and restore your phone to completely stock

My 2nd phone, the Note 2. Was rooted on 4.1 and I un-rooted it to flash the 4.3 update. I get notifications for the update, But when I download and reboot to install. It shows it's flashing and then it just error and restarts.
Any ideas?
I preface this with I know very little about the subject but I'll take a stab at it. You say you are unrooted, but are you stock? You may still have a custom recovery on your phone which I believe will prevent you from flashing 4.3 OTA. Im really not sure

Okay. The phone was rooted with custom recovery on 4.1.2 STOCK. I un rooted and restored stock recovery to UPDATE to 4.3 and Now it FAILS to update.
I want to return my wifes phone back to the official stock 4.3 on at&t. Is there a ROM I can flash that would do this? I know I can't go back to 4.1.2 because it well brick the phone.

This should do the trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998. I have reverted from CM11 this way. And helped a couple others. The only catch is that you may run into an issue after the flash with the Wi-Fi toggle not working. This can be fixed by flashing this kernel: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996968860. There is no bootloader attached to this ROM, so fret not about the bootloader issue.
As you are already on the MJB bootloader, this should work for you as well.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47816011&postcount=18. I myself have not used this ROM but loserskater is a major figure here and his work can be trusted.

I have a Samsung galaxy note 2 i had liquid smooth on it then i flashed stock 4.1.1 firmware with Odin everything went well im on 4.1.1 then when i go to software update and attempt to install the update everything goes well then it restarts and goes to the At&t upgrade thing and it finishes.Then it reboots and it stays at the Samsung note 2 Screen. I don't know what to do.
This guide should help, particularly post #2..

The ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 mh3 is a bit quirky at times.
If you have not been on 4.3 yet you should read up and decide whether you really want to take the 4.3 ota. Once you have the 4.3 mk6 bootloader there's no going back. There are custom and stock options available here that avoid the need for that bootloader.

I need to get back to 4.1.2, unrooted, and I'm on 4.3 skynote vanilla. What are all the steps I'll need to take to get there?

You can Odin back to stock 4.1.2...[emoji106]
Or you can download the firmware you need from Sammobile.com/firmwares for you particular device...
There a few threads that you can also do it they the OTA update...

If you have the official 4.3 bootloader....then the device will never be completely stock...
But if the knox free leaked loader was used then a full downgrade including the bootloader is possible...
Happy flashing...g
