I got the notification for the update a few days ago, but my phone wont update.
It's currently on 4.4.2 and I'm not certain what version it's trying to update too.
I took a picture of what happens when I try and update it, and I can provide any more info, just ask

It's probably the NJ2 update, if your not completely 100% stock unrooted, it will fail.

Thanks for the quick respond. I rooted it in the past, but I unrooted to update it. Can you point me to any guides that would help me get it back to normal?

I think my phone was updated to the newest version from the OTA update....
Can someone post all system info so I can check it out??
go to settings and look for about phone and software info and look at the softwarennumber if u updated it will say 1.32.651.6
My phone still on 1.32.651.1, but when I search for update, it said no update.
Where did you search? via the Android settings program or the HTC thing?

Is your phone rooted? When my phone was rooted it did not find the update, although maybe the timing was coincidental. I went back to stock and then was able to find the update.

I am curious if I will receive the new S3 update, as I am rooted on stock rom. I have not received any update notifications yet, but I know other people that have. Pressing "software update" in settings just waits saying "Checking for software updates". What do I need to do to get the update?

If you are rooted, my guess is that you most likely tripped the modified counter. By default if you are not using a work around, Samsung has certain methods in place that detect when you modifiy your phone or boot loader. Once tripped, you will most likely not get any ota updates. To check, first ensure that you dont have a yellow exclamation mark while your phone is booting, second, go to settings about phone and there is a string that she either read normal or modified. If you are rooted though, why dont you just flash one of the new roms with android 4.1.2? That is the update.

Forget waiting for the OTA update, why not download the full Samsung T999 S3 stock-rooted
deoxidized firmware and flash your phone with it. Since your phone is already rooted, it's easy.
Good Luck!

Yes, it appears I am modified. I used triangle away in the past. I havn't done any phone mods in a long time, and I basically have root for apps requiring SU. I did not want to have to break out the USB cable and download a 700MB file if I could just run the update tool (call me lazy).

Well in that case, why not just wait for the OTA update... (you will never see one unless your phone is 100% stock) LOL

Right, I went ahead and updated using cwm and the stock rom and am now on 4.1.2. Flashing was just scary to me when I havnt done it in a very long time
If you wish to do it the easy way I'd say TWRP it. But another way is Odin back to complete stock UVDLJC so that your status is normal and not modified. I'm pretty sure TriangleAway doesn't need to be used to reset your binary for an OTA. Just the ROM itself can't be detected as modified for the OTA to work.

If you don't mind me asking, how exactly did you go about that? I was on CM, tried changing the rom, messed up, ended going to my backup of touchwiz 4.1.1 and don't mind it but I'd like to go to 4.1.2. I'm a noob at this so if you can help me out that would be awesome. Thank you.
Go to my firmware thread stickied in development. You will find firmware and instruction there.

I reverted back to stock hoping for an update since 4.3 is coming out, then checked for updates and phone updated to JZO54K.L900VPAMA7. Now it says my phone is already up to date and it wont even update to MC2. Any suggestions? Phone is now stock, unrooted with stock bootloader.

Then re checking for updates?
I've installed Cyanogenmod the day before yesterday and today I realize the baseband is still the same MA7, would try with kies and return to original firmware.
Hey all,
I caught wind of the 4.4.2 update, so I decided to see how it is. I had used saferoot to gain root access to it, but all I did was use Xposed to modify my phone. No recoveries or anything, and the warranty bit is 0 on the download mode screen. Just to be safe, I wiped data/factory reset to make sure everything was gone, then I started the OTA download. All goes as it should until it reboots to install it, where it gets stuck at 25%, then says "update failed". Phone reboots, and then a window pops up saying the update was interrupted. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know any workarounds? Because if this phone just won't update, there it no reason for my to keep my warranty bit, since I have less than a week on the warranty left anyhow.

After my 3rd attempt, without my sd card inserted this time, the update failed again! This is starting to get irritating. Maybe I should just flash CM11 or something like that.

It's kinda odd that it still fails after so many downloads (and so close to being complete).
If there's only a week left to your warranty, you can start looking at custom ROM you might like (AOSP or TW). By the time you find one you really like and understand how to flash it (without any issue), you will have time to give the OTA another shot. Will be some good knowledge reading in the meantime
Little advice: Don't flash a custom ROM while annoyed/mad. That's how 80% of bricks happen.

Haha I know the basics of rooting. If I go, my phone will be the way it is right now: stuck on stock 4.3 with nothing on it but the bloatware from Sammy and AT&T

I just noticed that the device status is custom, even though I've wiped data. Is that what is causing this trouble? If so, is there a way to fix it?
Yea when you modify the system at all it trips the modified flag and that's probably where its failing (not the warranty bit flag that's at 0 but the one that's in the system itself) try to Odin to full stock and try it again this should revert it back to official

Will this work for 4.3?
I never tried it on 4.3, only on 4.1.2. Since you have Knox, rooting and installing SU may trip the knox counter. Did you try uninstalling Xposed and running the update?

One thing, don't downgrade bootloaders doing so. That will result in a brick.

How would I go about this? I have the stock 4.1.1 tar file, and I can't get the 4.3 file because AT&T's update was OTA only, and I can't find the 4.3 tar file anywhere!

That would be the 4.3. You can't downgrade from those bootloaders. Therefor, you need stock 4.3

Well that's just great. I'm stuck on 4.3. Could I possibly flash something like CM11 to get to kitkat? Of course, I'd like to back up the stock rom in case something goes wrong, but it would be wonderful if I could use CM on my phone again! I used the saferoot method to gain root access in the first place, which disabled KNOX if that means anything.

Yes you can, it's fairly simple too. Just gotta follow their instructions (don't skip anything).
As for recovery, I recommend TWRP, which you can get on the Play Store.
Guys I am at wit's end. I have an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317 with Android 4.3. It is rooted.
Ever since the AT&T OTA 4.4 update came out last June 2014, my phone informs me that "New Software Available" for OTA downloading..I click INSTALL and it starts downloading & installing it, but always fails at about 30% or so.
I'm confused...do I need to first UNROOT the phone back to stock ROM and then do the OTA update to 4.4 and then re-root?
This update keeps popping up all the time and it always fails.
TY!
