Im not used to having a non rooted phone and I was just wondering if there usually is a tar file after an update that you can flash manually through odin. I don't think I can update my Note 4 OTA cause I'm on T-Mobiles network and I don't think it's gonna do it? Appreciate any answer.

I have the same question...
Same
Check the Sammobile site if the firmware is up there then you can download it and get the Odin file.

So I was reading around the web - particularly on Droid-Life that the Verizon Note II now has been updated to fix the Exynos-related bug. Now, I'm on the international LTE model - GT-N7105 - and sooner or later I will receive the update as well. Now, as stated in the article linked earlier , a rooted user tried downloading the update and failed. So there's the backstory.
Now, as for my question. I will obviously have to unroot (which I am looking to do anyways) but here's the thing. I rooted using the ExynosAbuse apk from Chainfire. That makes the status in Settings -> About device set to "Custom", thereby preventing me from receiving OTA updates. ExynosAbuse has an unroot button. When pressed, it tells you to reboot to complete the process and then to reboot around 10 minutes later since it might reset the status to "Normal". Well, it doesn't do that for me.
So I used another tool by Chainfire; TriangleAway to set my ODIN flash counter back to 0 (in case it was causing anything; didn't check.)
Now, I used TriangleAway get around the "Modified" thing. Experimented with the 'Allow tracker to run' feature and ended up getting my flash counter to be 0 and my system status to say normal.
When the update arrives, I will probably have to unroot. However, as previously stated, my system status will go Modified when I do. So here's the question (and TL;DR):
TL;DR: I am having TriangleAway set to allow the tracker to run in order to have my system status "Normal" and I want to unroot in order to receive the update that has started rolling out. However, disabling the tracker and unrooting will set my device status to "Custom". That will prevent me from receiving the update. What do I do?
Additional info: I have not flashed ANYTHING custom - I only rooted for a few Xposed tweaks.
Thanks for your time.
Flash stock rom and then update.

Sorry, I'm really a noob at this. Doing so will wipe my phone, right? Also, can I use Mobile Odin for this?

Yes and I see no reason why the phone would be wiped.
Why not flash that update yourself btw?

1. Download the correct firmware update from sammobile.com
2. Update your firmware thru Odin
And you will have a fresh firmware with Status Normal.

Okay, so to clear this up:
- Will flashing the latest firmware in Odin (or Heimdall, which I'll be using; OSX...) wipe my phone? Will it though the flash counter?
- Can it be done through Mobile Odin without keeping root? Will using Mobile Odin to update my firmware wipe my phone?
Thanks for your patience with me, guys.
You wanna send phone for warranty ?
If no then forget about counter and flash latest stock firmware.
And flashing stock rom via odin won't delete anything.

Awesome, one last thing, if I used ExynosAbuse to root (the exploit which this update patches), and I use Mobile Odin's "EverRoot" feature, do you think it will still work? Thanks
Yeah but mobile odin can't flash tar images. You gotta flash via pc odin.
Then can root via cf auto root.

Not done downloading the latest stock image from sammobile but it downloads as a zip. Is this a flashable zip or is it a zip containing the tar file? If it is flashable, I can just use mobile odin, right?
[edit] it was mentioned that Mobile Odin does not support .tar.md5 files. It says that it does in the description?
It contains *.tar.md5
It isn't flushable via mobile Odin.
Only pc Odin.
Make sure your version is dll7 or ubdll3

So my friend ran into my house and gave me his note 2, here's the situation. An unrooted Note 2 was connected to Odin root package, and the wrong file was entered in the PDA slot (an md5 sum notepad file or something like that). Anyways the error message is coming up says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". I can hold down volume down and power and get into recovery still. Should I just connect odin and throw a file into the PDA slot and try to unroot it, if it even is rooted yet. Im not familiar with the Note 2 specifically since I don't actually own one, but thats the method I would have followed with my S2 which is effectively identical. What file should I download to throw in the PDA slot, a link would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Yeah I love QBKing I'm watching it right now aha. In this link http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...-L900)/Stock ROMs/MA7/Nodata Restore/Unrooted which file do I put in Odin, the .exe file or the tar.md5
I'd go tar. Exe is an executable file so you probably won't need Odin as it comes with it I believe.

Pit file or firmware? Firmware you can find at sammobile.com and the general thread if you were on the 4.4.2 bootloader

Have you tried flashing the full official firmware? I understand you were told that you need a pit file, but it's likely flashing the firmware from sammobile would fix you right up.

This thread is over 4 years old?
I am currently running my stock rom rooted. I have a sprint galaxy note 4 running 5.0.1. When I go in download mode and try to flash the stock rom to remove root so I could download the OTA 5.1.1. I can't it just fails in Odin and my phone says SW REV CHECK FAIL FUSED 3 BINARY 1. I am dying for someone to help me. Anyone that understands what to do please let me know. Last thing by the way i am able to switch to a custom rom but not a stock sprint rom.
U cant downgrade after bob7
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Premium HD app
If you are on OE1 then your only option is to odin and upgrade to OF5 then you should be stock OF5. In my opinion I would wait to take the 5.1.1 update until a root method comes out for it.
Ok thanks. I thought I had a major issue since I tried finding it everyone and there just wasn't any articles. I'll just wait
