Hi!
I have Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) running on stock 4.1.2 ROM and I want to update it to stock 4.4 ROM. Is it possible to update directly from 4.1 to 4.4 using Odin? Or maybe I should update it to 4.3 and then to 4.4? Which version of Odin should I use? 3.09 would be ok?
Any tips or things that I should be careful of?

Method 1st: (ideally u shud use this method)
If you are not rooted, you should use phone software update to upgrade to 4.4.2.
If you are rooted, you will have to use triangleaway to reset flash counter and use supersu to fully unroot. Then upgrade using software update in phone.
Method 2nd:
3.09 is best Odin version to use. Just download the stock rom, dump it in AP tab and flash. Done.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

I'm not rooted and running stock 4.1.2 but somehow OTA update in phone does not work. I'm pressing to check for updates and nothing happens at all (tried many times, restarting phone etc). So I want to do it using Odin. OK Odin v3.09 but what about version? Do I need to flash 4.3 first and then 4.4? Or can I flash 4.4 at once?

No need to flash 4.3.
First things first. Just make EFS backup using Dr.Ketan's Multitool. Transfer it to PC or cloud for safe keeping.
To upgrade you have 2 options:
1. PC ODIN 3.09 --> Download 4.4.2 firmware for your region from sammobile or samsung-updates and flash with Odin as explained earlier.
Note that you cannot downgrade the 4.4.2 bootloader, ever.
2. Mobile ODIN PRO --> To use this you need to be rooted. Once rooted download the apk file from play store and flash your 4.4.2 firmware. This will keep the bootloader as it is but will flash everything else.
Note: You won't be able to charge the battery when the phone is off. And you may face wifi problem due to old bootloader. If you face these problems, you have no choice but to use pc odin.

I am using a samsung galaxy s3 rooted. I noticed about a week ago that it said I was not rooted. So when I try to unroot Odin tells me Fail.
Can anyone help me, i would like to start from the very beginning.
any help?
Simply Put, easiest way to unroot is flash Current Firmware via Odin.
You're probably trying to flash older firmware, flash latest firmware as stated by Perseus71

The easiest way:
1 supplied with android-Market "SuperSU"
2 go to the settings the program's
3 to find the item "the totally remove Root"

Yea , I forgot to mention that. I am currently flashing 4.3 again. To reroot just root with 4.3 again?
Yes Reroot with 4.3
To unroot I flash same firmware with odin
How do i go all the way back the stock that came with my phone and unroot and undo everything without brick please?
@gtasmodder I am in same situation, selling phone but first return to stock.
We need to get a stock ROM and stock recovery installed. Then need triangle away to reset the flash counter thingy. Also well need to use Odin at some point.
I'm sure there is a thread here somewhere that explains it, probably by DrKetan. Once found I will let you know here.

always failed download on both linux and windows
my phone is 4.1.1 and i want to update to 4.3 or 4.4, whatever is currently out.
software update doesnt work in the About Device screen. I click it and nothing happens. at all, as if i ne ver touched it.
I tried using this guide http://www.xda-root.com/2014/07/download-install-android-4.4.4-kitkat-update-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747.html
Requires using ODIN and i did try it but ODIN will NOT recognize my phone at all when i plug it via usb cable, no matter what port i use. non-odin wise my pc can always read it.
What am i doing wrong?
I did have a superuser "root" in the past. when the software update didnt work, i uninstalled that and tried the guide again to no avail. do i need to reroot for odin to work, if so, whats the easiest way to root now? is there another option for me to update easily without messing up my phone?
thanks!
You need to be running a completely stock unrooted ATT 4.1.1 ROM with a stock recovery for OTA updates to work.
You're in download mode when connecting to Odin? You've installed the necessary Samsung USB drivers?
This is the recovery flashable stock
https://mega.co.nz/#!NpxzBI5J!PIMgiCZXFPiN0Y1n3f4a7UL9hqT2MW44VCt6zipu5PA
I got it some where here on XDA
After this you will be totally stock 4.1.1
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
The simplest method may be to flash back to completely stock using the ATT 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com using Odin 3.07.

will flashing back to stock wipe my stuff?
thanks!
btw, arent i arleady on stock 4.11?
Did your phone take the OTA update?
Yes, flashing back to stock via Odin will wipe out your files which means you should copy the files to your computer or external SD card.
Hi all,
I tried to uprgrade my P605 by OTA to 4.4.2 from 4.3 MJ4 with wanam exposed but it didn't... downloading is ok but after a reboot it appear "unable to upgrade".
How I can do that ? And if I can't, where I can't find the ROM prerooted ?
If there is no prerooted ROM, what is the step by step method to unroot my tab, upgrade it and re-root it ?
Thanks a lot for all your responses
regards
Or perhaps a ROM I can use with mobil ODIN ? (is every ROM can be use with mobile odin ?)

Hi,
I think that the best thing would be to download the stock ROM you want to install from SamMobile or Samsung Updates, flash it with Odin and the using the method given HERE root it with TowelRoot.
So far there is not any stock pre-rooted ROM available for the P605

Well I don't know but AFAIK Mobile Odin doesn't support the Note 10.1 version 2014 !!
It's not a big deal to root it after flashing the stock ROM !!
Thanks,
Finally I flashed my tab with the stock rom from sammobile with ODIN and yhen I rooted it with cf-autoroot from chainfire and everything is perfect !!!

So do you have the P605v (Verizon LTE) version? Then you flashed the stock ROM (4.3) from SamMobile via ODIN and re-rooted, correct? I just want to make sure that I am doing this "apples-to-apples" as I don't want to lose root on my P605v.
No I have p605, not verizon version.
Hi,
Am on CM12.1, T-Mobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, Rooted, Android 5.1.1
How i can update the Baseband - From M919Uvufnk2 To M919Uvufoh3 using TWRP?
You can't. You have to use Odin.

Ok, i can use ODIN. But from where i can find the baseband for rooted custom ROM (CM) SGH-M919?
My method...Backup your current rom. Odin the oh3 stock release, odin cf root, odin twrp, backup the new stock rom, restore prior backup.

Hmmm...thats what i am actually thinking as of now....but looking for easy alternative like if we get the flashable zip or something of this baseband i can just flash it without taking backup of ROM and reinstall the ROM etc.....
But am looking for a site where i can download these basebands....
i take it you are trying to update the modem/baseband ihere you go. Must be done thru odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/foh3-modem-bin-mdl-bootloader-t3191094
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE THE BOOTLOADER unless u KNOW EXACLY what you are doing...changing bootloader to the wrong bootloader will brick your device and some modem packages conatin bootloader. so make sure that you are getting a ODIN file that only contains the modems and no bootloader!
if you wish to properly update the bootlaoder and baseband properly ....just ODIN the OFFICIAL samsung release for your device and then re-root and reinstall recovery and then your rom.

Perfect....I will use this one....
And on S4 you don't even need to root before flashing TWRP and your ROM of choice. Just double flash the stock release with ODIN, let it boot up and make sure all is well, go into Camera to let it see if it needs a firmware update (happens automatically first time you run stock camera app), and when satisfied your phone is good, go into download mode, take TWRP + whatever else you want.
