Remember that the phone checks for updates using the AT&T servers, if you are not using an AT&T sim, you wont be able to get the update. I would just load a custom 4.3 TW rom, which I'm sure are a lot better than the crap AT&T releases.

Have you tried to Odin to a stock 4.3 ROM.
You might want to try the one click.
Think I have it somewhere let me check.

Not sure, have you tried plugging it in to a pc using Kies? Do you have an Att sim with you? You could give it a try by using an ATT sim and connecting to wifi

The one click method puts the leaked AT&T 4.3 bulks on it. It is not rooted. If you skip the cf auto root steps you will be on 4.3 non rooted stock.

Agree this is your best option if you want 4.3 non rooted.
It would be helpful if we knew your network provider. It's an ATT unlocked Note 2, are you on ATT?

[Q] Note t889v-Wind Mobile software update?

Well i post this here because us wind users don't have the luxury of having a separate forum section for us. And the model number t889v is quite similar to tmobiles t889.
My question is that when will the software update arrive for this phone? I check everyday and nothing thus far. I do not want to root it because the only reason i would root my previous phone was to overclock to compensate for lag. however this is not needed for this phone so why bother. Besides im waiting for the OTA update.
Rooting doesnt stop you from getting the update.

I think you went past the "STOP HERE" part of the rooting process...
No I was getting the modified error once I started to allow apps such as set cpu and etc gain access. I found out that if you uninstall them and click forget in the supersu app and reboot, the device status will go back to normal allowing you to check for updates.
Now my question is, if you use root keeper, will that allow you to install update and not lose root like on my old s3?

Yeah, me too. I am still waiting for the ota update. I tried to update using kies but it said its unable to update software for my version :s ?.. then I went to tools and update and initialize thingy and tried doing that.. it downloaded and installed some update but i didnt get the newest because I still dont have multiview...
This is pretty anoying coming from a galaxy nexus
so anyone update to 4.3?

T-Mobile update?

This morning I had a notification that an update was available for my T-Mobile SGN2. Of course when I accepted the terms, I received a pop up that my phone had been modified and the update was not applied.
Any ideas what this update consists of? Its the first update notification Ive received since purchasing the SGN2.
What version are you on presently? The current version is uvall4. Any other version might prompt the ota notification.

That's not even a tmobile rom. Definitely want a tmobile update.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I realize that is not a T-Mobile ROM, that is why I was surprised when I received an update notification. I would be very pleased to have a T-Mobile update, as I prefer the look and feel of the stock ROMS anyway.
But if I were still running the original T-Mobile ROM, then I would have received an update... I am curious to see what others have received this message and/or update.
I'm still at UVALK8 as well. When I click "Check Updates", it says, "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
My phone is rooted with stock ROM. Does this mean TMO detects the root and wont give me the update?
If yes, will I get the update if I unroot? Then just root again?
When are we going to get 4.1.2 or higher? I assume we will never get 4.2 as the gs4 will be shipping with it.

What makes you think that? The original Note is getting Jelly Bean, isn't it? Or is that just the International version? It launched with GB, didn't it?

You will need to unroot and then buy Triangle Away from Google Play. Once you use Triangle Away and are unrooted you will then get the uodate.

we already have jellybean 4.1.1. we will get 4.1.2 but i don't see us officially getting 4.2.1 or higher.

[Q] How to upgrade to 4.1.2 through PC and not OTA?

So I've got the AT&T Note 2 unlocked through a code from them.
The AWS unlock band works great with my T-mobile plan.
Except my software is at 4.1.1, I can't update without a sim or with the T-mobile one.
Anyone know of a trick or way to do the software update for this AT&T phone
Thanks

ATT Pushing OTA Update Today

ATT just tried to push an OTA update to my Note 2. I don't know what is in this update. I suspect it is 4.3. At least one of the local dealers told me they expected it any day. Unfortunately, with my rooted phone and missing some ATT bloatware, ATT OTA updates always fail for me. They download OK. But when they try to install it fails.
Did anyone else get this update? Do you know what it is?
I will probably just take one of the 4.3 (or 4.4) ROMs from here. But I am curious what it is.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yes I am stock and rooted. But I have deleted a bunch of the ATT Bloatware. My understanding is that updates won't install without some of that stuff. Apparently it checks during the update process. I don't really want to reinstall all that junk just to get the updates.

The S4 Actives had the same problem when we all went to a pre-release firmware... Could download current firmware OTA but failed on install. Only solution was to go to the Samsung rep at best buy to force the update (with their secret software).
Any idea of the size of the update that's being pushed?

4.4.3 Update on the way

I know there are numerous members including myself, that have updated to KK 4.4.2, and just experienced nothing but crap, in comparison to 4.3, which we cannot go back to. But, luckily there is a Galaxy Note 3/Galaxy S4/Nexus 5 god somewhere. They have heard our complaints about the srewed-up update released, and are currently working on the fix, which will be named 4.4.3. This update will fix numerous issues, involving the most talked about, camera and data drops......ps. connection drops, etc. I've read they are currently testing the update, so in other words, they jumped right on it. I hqve been suffering from the 4.4.2 sickness every since the update, wishing I could, or someone find a way to go back to 4.3. I just recently updated my Galaxy S 4, not aware of the troubles, but didnt run full testing method to ensure that I respected the update. I just immediately fell In love with the smoothness and speed, unaware of the crap under the covers. And then I got bold and updated my Beast of Hardware, the Note 3...........and was overwhelmed by the lack of tlc of the update. But threw all the rebooting, the battery pulls, the waiting for sitez to load, the non responsive buttons, they are working to fix this horrible experience. Thanks you Android for wasting time, but at least aorking to fix the problems. Upon release of the fix, I cant wait to see the sweetness the Dev's bring to the table with the new OS fix.

Back when 4.4.2 was released a member here that works for Samsung said when it would be released and it was released on the exact day he said it was. He also said another update was already in the works for May so it is no surprise that another should be hitting before long.
