Yep. You must flash newest FW via Odin. FW download F.E. at sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com

Hi im not very good with android.
I have a galaxy note 2, Stock Rom, and i Rooted it, the version is 4.1.1 and its a international version, the CSC is BTU from england unbranded.
So now is a new version 4.1.2 so i want to update it.

I used Tirangle Away and its 0 now.
But the status still say modified.
I Cant go in Recovery Mode because i think its not installed.

So the question is.
Can i Update in Kies and will it erase my phone
or should i download rom manager and make a nandroid backup
and then try to update through kies.
Or How can in unroot and not erase my phone because im in stock and update thorugh OTA because when i try it says : the phone is modified..etc.
Thanks so if anymore question i will post or if you could guide me in another forum.

You need to unroot. Use triangle away to reset counter and then flash stock again and then factory reset. If your not rooted then I dont know.

Since you've rooted you will not be able to update official firmwares from samsung through kies or OTA.
If you still require to update through kies first you've to unroot and the device status to normal. Follow the below instructions and you'll be fine.
1) installed pre-rooted firmware or root it again
2) Use Triangle away to reset counter Mod
3) Use titanium backup to wipe data from Enterprise Sysscope and Sysscope ( Sysscope may be frozen so, de-frost it and then wipe data).
4) Format the Ext SD card as it may contain some backups which might trigger the modified status
5) Use Root explorer to delete busybox from system/xbin/busybox (Since full Unroot will not delete busybox, the Sysscope will scan the phone for this after boot and change the Status to modified)
6) Full unroot using Super user
7) Reboot and enjoy
Hi All,
I'm facing a similar issue on my Note II.
I used Dr Ketan's guide to root and reverted the firmware to a UK stock early this year but has since gotten a
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"
My device is now unrooted and counter is reset (status is normal).
According to my research, this could be due to a CSC mismatch but can't find anything wrong with it.
This is what I'm on at the moment,
AP: N7100XXDME6
CP: N7100XXDMF1
CSC: N7100OXDMF1
It's the lastest UK stock firmware but I had to install it using Odin instead of Kies.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
That's strange, i have a rooted phone, made with chainfire autoroot method, and i just upgrade the firmware with kies without any trouble. No unroot and no wipe before update. It's a stock firmware with root.

Try using * # 272 * your IMEI #
This will pop up a list of CSC. Choose your original one and it should be okay.
Note: Changing the CSC using this method will factory reset your phone without any warning
Download and install Kies 3. Connect the phone. Kies will inform you that the connection failed. Leave the device plugged in and go to the menu bar, tools, reinstall device drivers. Leave the phone connected while the device drivers reinstall and it should work from there.

[Q] Can't Install 4.4 OTA Update

Rooted/Flashed my phone a long time. Constant bugs and errors. I really don't remember what all I did but I think I almost have it completely unrooted and back to stock. However, I can't update OTA. I've reflashed using this file, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486. Fixed just about all my issues and I actually have a lot of space on my phone. When I try to do the OTA Update, it doesn't install the update. Once it boots into recovery mode to install the update it gives an error. Can someone help my to 100% fully get my phone back to stock and be able to install OTA updates? I'm clueless.
First, did the 4.4.2 ota fail after a certain percentage? If so you may actually be partially updated already. If so, flashing MJB firmware/bootloader will hard brick.
Install and open Terminal Emulator and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
If it says MJB, you are still on 4.3 and can refresh that. If it says NE4, do not flash MJB!
If you can still flash MJB, there is a thread in General (I think that's where) that has the Odin flashable firmware package. Flash that with Odin and factory reset. Then try the OTA.
Factory resetting with stock recovery installed will wipe internal sd card, so back up first!
There are also a few threads in General that can help you update if the OTA continues to fail.
I'm unrooted. At least im pretty sure of that. I cant run superu anumore and root checker says im not rooted. Can I still access the terminal without being rooted. I know I had clockeork mod recovery. I also had used cyanogen mod at one point. Now I have the stock recovery but when I boot into recovery I get an error. I will post the error and install percentage as soon as the ota update downloads.
Yes, you can still run getprop w/o root. Just install terminal emulator by jackpal from the play store.
Yeah it said I747UCUEMJB. Like I said my recovery gives me an error. When I try flashing at all with odin it fails. Trying to install the ota update now. After it fails ill give the error recovery gives me. OTA update fails at 24%
Ok, booting into Android system recovery gives me a no command error than it shows the list of options. When I go to reboot system now, it gives me a no command error as well. Download mode used to give me an error, might only show up when attempting to flash something. However, these are the details of my ODIN Mode right now.
Product Name: SGH-I747
Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 Counts)
Current Binary Custom
System Status: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
When you try to flash the firmware with Odin, what does it say in the message box?
Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin?
A lot of people seem to be having issues with the OTA failing at 20-something percent. No idea why though. I know some found that their firmware was partially updated afterwards though, which is why they couldn't flash with Odin. Need to know what odin says about the failure to know for sure though.
You might need to factory reset btw.
I've already did a factory reset when I flashed this latest rom from that thread I posted.
Point me in the right direction of the firmware I need. I've got AT&T btw.
Try MJB firmware again. Im assuming that's what you tried to flash with odin earlier right? When/if it fails again, copy the text from the message box and paste it here.
So you want me to try flashing using Odin with that firmware I provided in that link? Like I said, ODIN on the pc gives me an error. I'll provide the error later when I get off work. Before I just put the firmware on my sd card, went into refovery mode and installed it from there.
From what I can see that is for flashing in recovery only. Of in only flashes .tar and .tar.md5 files.
This is the stock MJB firmware you can use in Odin:

Its from enewman17 in his how to update thread here (step 4):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53563776
If you still want to update to 4.4.2, that thread has had a pretty good success rate from what I've seen.
Let me know if you have any ither questions about this.
I'll try ut as soon as I get home from work and posy my results. Thanks for the help so far!
Wow I think one of the reasons I couldn't use ODIN after trying to unroot, is because I never had turned on USB Debugging mode. You wanted me to just go through Step 4 for right now right? Just to get back to stock 4.3 AT&T S3 like right out the box?
Thanks so much Doc. After following step 4 on that thread I was able to Ota update!

Been using my newly updated S3 and now the Touchwiz Home stops on startup and resets my default app settings repeatedly. Not sure what's the deal, tried suggestions on diff sites and am trying a factory restore, wipe date, and wipe cache partition. Any clue how to fix this?
PS: Seen in Android System Recovery it says KOT49H.I747UFNE4. Should that be I747UCEMJB since that's what mine is and recovery still gives me no command when I start it up?
You said you had updated with the OTA so NE4 would be correct.
As for recovery, if you want to keep stock recovery, enewman17 has it available in one of his threads (in development section I think). Redland that by itself and it ought to be good to go.
Otherwise, use Odin to flash TWRP recovery.
Factory reset should take care of the launcher/home issue you mentioned. You may not be able to though since it sounds like recovery is corrupted. Fix recovery as I said above and then try the reset.
If you factory reset with stock recovery installed, it will wipe your internal sd card. With custom recovery it will not.
You could also try clearing data for Touchwiz Home in application management.
I am having issues updating OTA too. It gets to 100% and then says my phone will reboot in 5 seconds, then it reboots and some at&t logo with a % counter comes up, that gets to 100% then it reboots into Android and it still says 4.3...what am I doing wrong? Anyone have any advice? Many thanks if so.
Thats a new one for me...how exactly are you going about updating? Are you using one of the threads here? Have you recently modified anything?

I am trying to update by going to settings --> more --> about device --> software update. Not using a thread, no. I was rooted and uninstalled google books and newsstand then unrooted and did a factory reset in stock recovery because I found out that if you are rooted the OTA update won't take. I am 100% bone stock now except for the 2 bloatware apps I uninstalled. I have since reinstalled them via the play store , but I hear they need to be system apps?
They do, but they also need to be the same versions that were originally included. If you get them from the store they'll be updated and will cause the ota to fail.

Back to Stock Rom issue

Hi
I have just restored a stock rom back onto my l9192 using odin, but in download mode it still says custom, is that normal, or is there a way to make it say official again ?
Thanks
JD
Flash stock rom via Odin. Root your phone via Odin. Use Triangle Away.
Sorry for my bad English

Flash desired firmware until it shows official status.
Sometimes baseband don't change.
Factory reset, flash firmware let it boot, turno of using power button and restart Odin mode using key combination.
You should get official again.

Help FAP LOCK ON

Hello guys, my galaxy s6 wont go to recovery or boot up, only download mode. It says Custom binary frp locked. Tried to flash the latest stock rom through odin and it wont flash. The phone was previously on QE1 firmware. I also tried to flash with this firmware with no luck. I have the 4 files for the latest update and for the QE1 i only have 1 file. Maybe I need the 4 files for the same firmware my phone was running on? (QE1). Thanks
