1-ALJ or any lower than 4.1.2 require you not to just Flash a ROM, downgrade requires a full Wipe. (VolUp+Power+Middle Button , then wipe data/cache).
2-make sure your model is N7100 , and not N7100T or SGH.
3-KIES MUST BE NOT RUNNING IN BACKGROUND OR RUNNING AT ALL! You can simply uninstall it.
4-try installing the drivers again, and use a different USB Port.

I also have same problem please help me

i have note 2 4.2.1 and i tried to update to 4.3 and the phone said connecting to the server and disappear.
and when tried to do it from kies it says unknown error
there is solution ?
thanks in advance

Wait or download from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ and flash with Odin. You will loose all your settings, apps and appdata if you do it this way.

update for note 2
Ok guys something users of the note 2 can use. SAMSUNG HAS RELEASED Jellybean 4.3 for the note 2. After finding out sprint will not push update to 4.3 till mid January, I did some research. Android 4.1.2 has a wifi bug so its useless.
After talking to Samsung, I was told to find out if the lcal Best Buy has a Samsung Experience booth. IF SO THEY CAN UPDATE TO 4.3 JELLYBEAN WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT...

[Q] Help with Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Inch Stuck in Recovery/Odin mode

Hello all, I am new to the android community as well as the devices, which was probably a major factor in the coming of my current predicament. Anyways, i recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, running Android KitKat 4.4.2 . I attempted to root the device using ODIN v3.07 and CF auto root that was meant for the model SM-T320, whereas my model is SM-T230. So in the middle of the process, Odin said it failed and it stuck in download mode. When I tried to reset it, it came up to the screen in the pictures below. I have attempted using the firmware update from Kies 3, but i get an error message saying that the device cannot be updated. I have downloaded two different versions of the SM-T230's supposed firmware and have attempted to "flash" the device using these files, however to no avail. The error message is in the pictures below. Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

Hi to resolve this is really simple, please download the corrodponding firmware, your tab 4 will show an update firmware error, but is infact in odin mode... simply select the .tar/md5 file and insert it to pda and click start...
Sorry for poor gramma, i shall lon on pc now

ok so recently iv encountered the same problem, with a good easy solution, if you look carefully on the update error screen that you are facing, in the top left it says odin mode.........
the next steps are simple......
download the current SM-T230 firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33745
Assumming you are in uk or a europien country, ( there is currently no uk firmware updateable via kies ) so please use the nordick firmware. (its excatly the same, i have both )
Download odin 3.7 from here : http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...S5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.74115972,d.d2k
Once you have downloaded the firmware you will need to unzip the file to somewhere easy to find, i would suggest the desktop. locate and run odin 3.7 and point the PDA tab to your recently unzipped firmware file and click start.... odin will do its thing and complete the firmware update process......
HOPE THIS HELPS THE GUYS THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS......... LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GOT ON

Galaxy Note 8 , SGH-i467 (ATT)solution for 4.4.2 recovery?

Hello,
So I have the 4.4.2 Galaxy Note sgh-i467, it is stuck in the recovery mode,
I've been trying for some time already to contact Samsung to have some help with the device no luck, they ask me to go to USA or ship it to them for the fix. I have tried a few methods I found here on the forums but no luck with them also, maybe I missed something, basically my question is : was someone able to recover from 4.4.2 to a working tablet ?

I had the same problem and tried Kies and Odin as nothing else seemed apparent. Kies 2.6 would download the 4.4.2 update and show almost finished on the green bar indicator in download mode then Kies would freeze up on my Windows 7 computer and I'd have to end task on it and restart the tablet. There doesn't seem to be a KitKat ROM on sammobile or anywhere else I could find. I did find a thread in the development forum that I've since lost where a senior XDA developer had indicated he'd put in a request with Samsung's executive level of support to get a copy of the 4.4.2 ROM. I tried using Odin to flash the JellyBean image from sammobile, but that's what had caused my table to get stuck in recovery mode in the first place, so it didn't work. I've flashed plenty of ROMs on my GS4, so I'm no stranger to Odin but you seemingly can't go back to JB from KK thanks to the locked bootloader that comes along with it.
I was lucky in that I'm in the U.S. and could bring the Note 8 to my local Best Buy's Samsung Experience kiosk. After my fourth visit to the third Best Buy, I finally found a guy who reloaded the Note 8.0 with the 4.4.2 ROM. It's back up and running now with the stock 4.4.2 ROM.

Charcaroth I wish I could hit that thanks button a hundred times. The Samsung Experience Center @ Best Buy fixed my Note 8.0 that was hopeless just as you said.
Thanks for going above & beyond with your help via private message!
