Use odin, your warranty wont be touched because you will install stock rom.

Flashing won't brick device once you have flashed any rom made for your device.
BTW what error you are getting while updating with ota?

I get latest updates are installed. However my girlfriends note 2 got the 4.1.2 update.
When updating with kies the kies program lags and crashes. Starts by downloading firmware components then when downloading firmware file it randomly stops at any %

Have you ever rooted device?
And if you have backup of your device then try wiping device, then may be issue gets solved. Otherwise best option is download full rom and flash using odin.

How can I flash? Do I need root? If I flash 4.1.2 then after a while make a factory reset, does it reset to 4.1.2 or 4.1.1?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

If you want to flash full rom, no factory reset needs. Just download rom for your region (not compulsory from your region, you can flash any) flash rom using odin. You don't need to have root.
After flashing rarely your device gets stuck at samsung logo, in such case you have to reboot to recovery and have to factory reset. Once you have updated to 4.1.2 it will remain 4.1.2 even after factory reset.

If you don't understand the instructions or just want a simple app that will do it all for you, you can purchase the Pro edition from the Playstore.

You will need to install Mobile Odin and install this as well: MobileODIN_FlashKernel_M919-v5.0 . Then you can return to stock using your stock recovery.

[Q] Do not get mobile network after flashing rom

So, I have flashed a few roms, the most recent, Lego Rom, and I am still unable to activate my network. I have mobile data but no phone. I have went back and tried to install from freshly rooted to a rom but without any change. I am following install instructions to a T. This is by far not my first time installing a custom rom. Anyone have any ideas what my problem is?

Which modem are u on?

I am currently on ZVC, which on Lego Rom, is supposed to be fine. I have went back to ZVA and installed suggested kernal for PA as well, no luck.

Go back to stock that's what I did when I had a similar problem

Did you root before or backed up your efs partition from before.
If you root with ioroot. I read somewhere before it copies something that might fix. Search xda

I did back up efs, I ended up flashing the ZVA radio and am on Liquid right now. Kind of annoying though.

[Q] Can you Upgrade to 4.4 if your rooted with no recovery?

My girlfriend has an AT&T Note 2 running 4.1.2 that is rooted, but with no custom recovery.
Is there a way to get the update.zip put it on the root of the SD card and upgrade through the stock bootloader?
She doesn't want to start from scratch, just upgrade. Doesn't really matter if she loses root or not.

We're not getting the OTA update, I assume because it's rooted.

You can unroot it then do the update

What comes up when you hold volume up home and power? Cuz if you have don't have the stock recovery you won't get it
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you used CF auto root to gain the original root...then you have a modified stock recovery and OTA will fail...
You would need to push a stock image via Odin to restore the device to stock I believe...g

[Q] I think I bricked my Note?

Ok I have a SGH-i317 on att and my problem is this. So I went to update my phone through the OTA from att and had to get the 4.3 bootloader for the DN3 rom I installed. Messed up a couple files and had to downgrade back to 4.1.2 ( this is where things went to hell) it booted fine on stock 4.1.2 until I let it do another OTA then the phone froze and will now only let me enter download mode. I checked probably 10 threads pertaining to my problem like this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891 and I can't get it off the initial start up screen. I can still enter download mode but thats it. I've tried flashing the stock 4.3 through Odin and a custom recovery from the link above I even tried to flash a pit file and a bootloader file but the bootloader file comes back in error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
