[Q] Question about failed OTA

Hello everyone I have a questions about OTA.
I recently rooted my phone (n7100) using exynos-abuse and installed spenboard switcher by copying the .apk in the /system/app folder everying is working fine but now i get an OTA notification, download goes without any problem but install fail (tried 3 times).
I don't think the root itself is the problem since i got an OTA after rooting but before the installation of Spen board switcher without any problem.
The status on the device is still normal so i'm wondering if the installation of the .apk can be the problem (i made a try after removing the .apk but still no succes) is there something I miss ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

im in the same boat as u i guess, got the update downloaded but wont complete update keeps researching for an update.
rooted stock rom as well.
i think we need to go samifirmware and re download the stock rom flash via odin, but we will loose all data???

Flashing official ROM with Odin won't erase data. though i highly recommend backup, in case you get bootloop you may need to wipe.

Yep right.
It's recommend to do a factory reset then
Flash stock rom

[Q] SGN2 N7100 Boot/Reboot problems

Hi, wondering if anyone can help.
I was running my note 2 n7100 on Omega rom v15 with perseus kernal v35. It was fine, until yesterday my phone started rebooting.
I reflashed Omega rom, I unrooted and reflashed stock rom, I rooted and tried other roms.. however, im still having problems.
Once the phone has restarted and got to home screen, whenever I do anything, the phone reboots. (on Cm10.1 rom varients - jellybam and pa3.5)
When using stock rom and omega rom the phone doesn't even go past the samsung galaxy note II logo screen.
I've read somewhere, that reflashing the bootloader may help, so I may give that a try..
Does anyone else have any ideas or similar problems?

Hi
Never had this issue but if I were you, I think I'll do all Wipe & format options from my recovery and then I'll flash a Factory firmware via Odin.

Flashing a stock rom isn't a clean installation so this is not what I suggested.

Wish i saw this before i got on the phone with t-mobile they are sending me a new one. Seems like that would have worked for me since reflashing stock firmware from Odin also didnt work for me.
On a good note when i got my new Note 3 from TMobile i wasnt gonna flash anymore Roms since i was to scared to have this what seemed to be unfixable problem out there. But now maybe i will flash roms on my new Note.

Yea that worked for me

Are you running the latest recovery? 4.4 ROMs require the latest TWRP or CWM.

By downgrade, do u mean go to the previous version of android that u were trying to upgrade?
---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------
Or just so whatever Kies gives u

I'm experiencing the same force closes and reboots after updating

Yes, you can easily downgrade
You can simply download whatever you want to have on your tab from www.sammobile.com and flash it,
Go there, go to firmware section, type in your device model number, search for your country's firmwares, select which android version you want, which update you want
And download it
Then flash it from Odin
That's it, you are done

Can you provide logcat? Though not to me, but to some other DEV and ask for solution after telling them your problem,
Give it to me too, I will try but can't guarantee to tell you the possible solution(may be)

Im sorry man, but I dont know what is logcat.
That ia very difference, as I told I have a galaxy note 3, and when something is wrong, I install a firmware by Odin and everything back to works.
I already tried 3 firmwares in that tablet and I got the same result, force closes and reboots.

There is no way to get the old bootloader. All 4.1.2 firmwares did not come with a bootloader. Odin stock 4.4.2 then install a 4.4.2 based rom.

Tried dat still doesn't work. my sister tab was 4.1.2 she didn't update and whens she flash a 4.4.2 rom she has no problems or bugs like i do

Did you tried factory reset after flashing stock rom? If not then try it them reply
