I rooted my note 8 prolly 1 to 2 years ago, and did not do much else except add a few programs that required root. I am on Android version 4.1.2 .When I try to update it through the software update in the about device in settings, I of course get an error message that says my device has been modified, software updates are not available.
So my question is this what version should a stock Note 8 GT-N5110 on had I not rooted my device.....and I have heard that KitKat is horrible... so should I just go back to stock and stop at Jellybean AND How do I get back to stock? or is their an easier way to get to jellybean while being rooted? Is Lollipop a possibility .(I just got it on my Note 3 and like it alot!)
Stay with JB... Good thing yours failed, else it would have gone to KitKat.
Samsungis.com and get 4.2.2 UK version it is the best for both US an UK. It is BTU for the country code.
Use triangle away to clear the counter, and shutdown to boot in recovery to do a factory restore. That will clean up for the update.
Don't bother setting up, just boot to download and flash with Odin 3.07

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...
Hi evryone,
I would realy like to update my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 international to Android 4.3 but their are some things that needs to done because I want to get rid off the KNOXbootloader and somethings need to be done first.
Firstly, I want to get rid off that Samsung Knox bootloader because I can't root safety with that KNOX bootloader thing.
+
I want to keep download mode and recovery mode.
I don't want a custom rom. I want an official ROM that still can receive official OTA updates and can show by about Divice/ status 'normal'!
Secondly, Their are two mod I realy want because the official update don't get Note 3 functions.
But the first mod talks about deodex and my rom is odexed. And the official update will also be odexed.
Can I still perform this mod? and how? I realy want this new functions so badly. (pen window, air comand, scrapbook, new S Note,...)
The second link is a mod/port for the Galaxy S4. But the Note 2 also works on Android 4.3. Is this mod compatible?
Note3 apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467810
Note 3 camera: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498390
To keep it short
I want my Note running on the official android 4.3 update without the KNOX bootloader + the Note 3 app port mod that still can receive official OTA updates and won't increase the flash and KNOX counter +Note 3 camera.
How can I do this?
My Note is currently still on 4.1.2 but the update arrives very soon to my country.
My Note is the Samsung Galaxy Note N7100 international (NO brand like AT&T or Voda Phone, just the normal international)

You don't want custom ROM? You want official and then make it custom? If you mod it, it is CUSTOM, not official. Official is only when you flash OFFICAL ROM and then maybee root and install Xposed, anything else you do is CUSTOM.
Not to mention that there already is (are) custom ROM(s) that have everything you want.
And if you MODIFY stock ROM, you just CAN'T HAVE OTAs. I'm not sure you can have OTAs on Samsung even if you're rooted. I can have OTA on Nexus when I'm rooted, but no OTAs even on Nexus which is PURE GOOGLE if you modify ANYTHING in the system....
Basically what you're saying is "I want to have s*x, but I want to remain a virgin"... not possible.

agreed with dalanik.
1.
You want official Android 4.3 without KNOX bootloader ? ==> A : impossible, all the official 4.3 sure come with new bootloader (the current 4.3 released at sammobile). This is what I know. You want without KNOX bootloader ? use the custom ROM, There's 1 UEMK4 Knox free under N7100 Android development.
2.
To be able to receive Samsung's OTA, you will need a normal system status, not modified. In order to get this, you should stay at the official ROM, with a stock kernel, stock recovery, un-rooted. Once you root / change kernel / ROM, your status automatically change to Modified, with a rise in flash counter, and OTA is a no way for you.
3.
If you want a port apps from Note 3 on your Note 2, so far from what I read, it will need a root & CWM/TWRP to flash the mod/ported apps, because it will come in a zip CWM/TWRP flashable file. Or if you want to make it easy, you just flash a custom ROM, but you will need custom recovery (CWM/TWRP), and you can forget about the OTA.
And to make it simple, my friend...
if your phone is N7100, why is there a need for you to receive OTA? There are a lot custom ROM floating around on N7100 android development which you can try to use, compare to the device that I own (N7105).
That's my opinion, you may stick to what you want if you like. :fingers-crossed:

Well my Galaxy Note II is already rooted and I have already done some mods in the past like hot audio mod and sound+,... I stil can receive OTA updates by using an app called framaroot. I simply tick UNROOT in the app, restart my device and download the OTA update. After the update I reopen framaroot and choose to root again. In download mode everything stays official and my flash counter stays 0.
By official rom, I mean a tandard samsung rom. The standard Samsung rom where I can perform all my mods on and still can official OTA update and if you look in download mode, were's everything said Samsung official and flash counter 0 instead of custom.
By custom roms I mean the Ditto rom, the famous Cyanomogen rom etc.
their was a file to flash with ODIN that disable the KNOX bootloader but it's for a N7100 at&t edition and not for the N7100 international.
oh and an extra Question. Can the pre release version of Sammobile galaxy note 2 N7100 android 4.3 (open Asia )(you know that famous leak from a +-2 months ago)
still can receive OTA updates?
So at the weekend I done a lot of work getting the official status on the download mode and the normal status on about phone. Why dont I get prompt on ota update and why is it not on kie. I am on the UK orange network. I think i might have missed something, Thanks all in advance.
What I did...
1. Back up everything on titanium back up, nanodroid backup, EFS backup and sync everything on kie.
2. Reflash the last stock 4.1 rom, july 2013 version.
3. Root using toolkit, which flash a insecure recovery.
4. Do triangle away and then reflash the stock recovery. Ie the PDA file on odin. So after a reboot I got official status on download mode.
5. Did the wipe data stuff on that sysscope apk to get normal status on about phone.
6. wipe chach and waited 2 day for anything to sync.
But I still dont get prompt on ota or is there anything on kie.
Why o why, to think I spend 2 hours at the weekend to get to this point.
United Kingdom - BTU Pending Pending
United Kingdom (H3G) - H3G Pending Pending
United Kingdom (O2) - O2U Pending Pending
United Kingdom (Vodafone) - VOD Pending Pending
in other words, ota for UK is not available for the moment

So... android 4.3 is not out in the uk yet. Annoying considering that others had it for a few weeks now.
As to KNOX... not sure if its really that bad. My understanding is that once upgraded you are ...
1. Limited to stock rom. Custom rom will trigger security such that KNOX will not work again.
2. If you use stock rom. Which unroot your phone when you upgrade. Then you can disable KNOX before you root and it'll be ok. But again you can't use KNOX while you are rooted.
Annoyingly information on how KNOX works are a bit thin right now. Probably I'll make sure before upgrade.

Always know what you're doing before messing with Knox. (4.3 for Note 2 didn't bring loads of good stuff, as far as I know.)

Hi All,
My wife's old AT&T Galaxy Note 2 - never been rooted - is still on 4.3.
So I went to Software update and it is saying that the update has been interrupted and I have to wait 24 hours. So I keep on restoring to factory defaults / changing the time trick -- and It still fails. I have clue why it can't pick up the updates from the AT&T Servers.
Is there a way to update it forcefully - Like using ODIN or something? The last time I tried this (even with the official AT&T ROM - it tripped the counter of my Galaxy Note 1). -- is it the same case with ODIN and Note 2?
Also, the more important question is - will I lose my SIM unlock if I update to 4.4.2 via ODIN or other methods?
Long time ago, I have used the trick *#197328640# and it worked wonders. Will I lose it in 4.4.2 ?
As much as possible, I don't want to root it because I will sell it and he doesn't want rooted phones.
Thank you.

This will downgrade to 4.1.1 then ota to 4.3 but it wont root it and thats what your problem
I pulled out an old samsung galaxy note 2. The t-mobile model sgh-t889 i believe. i was trying to upgrade it to android 4.4. I found somewhere saying the official at&t roms work for this phone. I tried the most recent one. I317-UCUCNJ2-Stock.tar.md5. this was the file I used. Odin failed almost at the end. Now the phone is frozen in odin with a complete blue bar. Any ideas? i want to flash the tmobile stock rom again but i don't want to make the situation worse?
Hopefully, a locked att bootloader was not flashed to the phone.
All you can do at this point would be to power off the phone, boot into download mode, and try flashing the latest stock rom from sammobile.com.
