I have the AT&T Galaxy Note 2, rooted, which is why I think it has been unable to install the last software update from AT&T. Every time I try, my phone will download the update but will fail 28% of the way through the install, I think this may be due to the root but I don’t know enough about this stuff to be sure. This is why I joined XDA, so that I could ask people smarter than me how to do the things I’m looking to do. If it is the root that’s the problem, then I imagine I’ll need a custom FW instead, there are a lot of listings here and I don’t know what is what or which update would be right for me, so I am asking for some help;
My phone is the SGH-I317
Android version; 4.3
Baseband version; I317UCUBMK6
Kernel Version; 3.0.31-2048209 [email protected] #1 Tue Nov 19 16:46:45 KST 2013
I don’t know if any of the info above is useful, I just want to keep the device up to date, nothing fancy, just whatever the most recent AT&T update is I want. I’m just not sure which of the many custom ROMs I should focus on.

I'll give it a go, one question though, will it cancel my root? Am I going to have to root the phone again afterwards?
Yes it will unroot but after you get to 4.4.2 just use cf autoroot and you'll be rooted again
It's not the root access it's the custom recovery that stops the Ota update.
How does that happen?
The Ota update runs a script that downloads the rom, attempts to boot into recovery, where it does a system wipe, then installs the rom. So it fails at that point, and continues to boot loop, because it's stuck on that step in the script.
OK, well is there a repair for that? That sounds like an error in the program itself, or is it because reversing a "root" is an involved process.
It's not an error. Samsung doesn't support people messing with the phone, and the scripts they write won't support custom recoveries. Just follow the steps in the link above.
My GS3 used to be rooted, but I had to install MDM/Airwatch on it for testing at work, so I unrooted it. The unroot was successful and MDM didn't complain, and it's pretty picky. That was a few months ago.
Now Sprint or Samsung is pushing an update to the phone (I don't know exactly what it is) but when I try to run the update, it reboots and extracts then gets an error complaining that /system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk has unexpected contents.
I tried doing the update through Kies and it fails with an error saying that the phone was disconnected, even though it wasn't. I even set the phone to not sleep and no screenlock just so the connection would stay alive, but get the same error.
I did a factory reset but that didn't help. It seems like there's a problem with that APK but I don't know what to do about it.
So I just reimaged my wife's S3 with an unrooted image I'd previously downloaded. Everything seems fine but when I try to apply this same update, it gets the exact same error!
Do I need to reimage these phones with something different to get the updates working?

in order to completely unroot your phone and hers is to Odin the stock tar...and since the both of you are on Sprint you can take the NJ2 tar...which is the Update that you are trying to install
Thanks, I'll give this a try! Do you think this is going to be a problem going forward though, where I can't get OTA updates anymore? The ROM I used put me on ND8 and is called:
L710VPUCND8_L710SPRCND8_L710VPUCND8_HOME.tar.md5
I'm not 100% sure where I downloaded it from, but I think it was from the link in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533

Well ND8 and NJ2 are both 4.4.2 just NJ2 is a security update on top of ND8 and it will break root via Towel Root but the other 2 methods will still work
Doh wish I'd seen this before posting my own. Same exact problem here.
Where does one get the NJ2 tar? And will I be able to update after that? Otherwise how can we fix it so we can run updates and not have to wipe our phones every time?

I've confirmed that I have the stock android recovery as well.
Hey guys, I was rooted but on my stock 4.4.2 Sense Rom. I wanted to flash the OTA lollipop update. I had TWRP so i could not update the OTA. So i found a video on youtube that said i had to...
1 - Replace custom recovery with stock recovery
2 - Process OTA Update
3 - Replace stock recovery with custom recovery
I was at step 2 and my htc one m8 is tmobile US and was T-MOB010 so i downloaded "stock+recovery+1.12.531.19+recovery" there was two different ones for me to choose from. There was that one and then "2.22.531.5" however i could not find that DL link. I then flashed the stock recovery thru ADB and rebooted my phone, and it started to update but then i got a red triangle. I saw a comment on the youtube video that said i needed to find the OTA update and transfer to my PC and find the "recovery.img" file and then extract that and flash that to my phone. I looked thru the entire zip file however there is a folder i could not access, the last one named "firmware" I try to extract but i get an error message saying "cannot open, file is invalid" The OTA update i found in my internal storage in download folder and it is named "OTA_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_4.20.531.4-3.32.531.2_release_420432xio08y7xuups2gkl" that's got to be it because that's the only thing that could be the update any help??

It sounds like the stock recovery that you loaded wasn't a new enough version. To update to lollipop you need to install a lollipop or a 4.4.X stock recovery. If you install anything that was released prior to that you will get the red triangle deal.
So try and find one thats a little newer. Perhaps see if someone has posted the lollipop one for your carrier. You can use that one. Should be easy to find as it's the latest. Then the OTA should take just fine. Perhaps the other stock one you mentioned would work. You just need to find it. I'm on Rogers in Canada so I'm not too familiar with the T-Mobile files. As mentioned though, just make sure the stock recovery is from Android 4.4.X or 5.X.X and you will be fine.

Thank you for the reply! Is there a chance of bricking by trying to change out the stock recovery? Or would the worst that would happen is I get the red triangle. I mean obviously I'm not going to be flashing stock recoverys from different devices but u know.

You mentioned stripping out the recovery.img from the OTA update. This shouldn't be a problem. Not sure why it wouldn't let you access it. Perhaps you have a bad download?
Look around XDA a little more. You should be able to find the OTA you are looking for.
As for flashing a wrong branded stock recovery, I don't really want to say cause I'm not sure what would happen. Just to be safe I'd stick to your carrier's files but perhaps someone else can speak on that.

Sideload the latest recovery as found in the thread I linked to above. Reboot and the OTA should take no problems. It was downloading and everything fine for you before but was unable to flash because of an outdated recovery you installed.
So my recommened method to update OTA, is to follow the first route you were taking but with the newest recovery.img file in place of what you used in step 1.
If you already have the OTA downloaded on your phone, you shouldn't have to download it again either. It should see that it's already downloaded ready to be installed.

No problem. Let me know how it turns out for you.
If you don't mind wiping your personal data (you can of course back it up first,and restore later by a variety of methods) and setting up the phone again; it would be much easier to just update by RUU. Relocking the bootloader required if s-on.
The method of returning to stock ROM and recovery will work to update OTA. But its just a lot more potential pitfalls, as you have found (finding the right stock recovery, stock ROM, and even then there is no guarantee your data will be retained, although it should).

If you flash the stock recovery and let the OS do the OTA update there will be no issues. Relocking bootloaders etc sounds like a lot more work to me.
He is already on stock ROM and has the instructions to do the stock recovery OTA update so I think that's the best route. I provided him with the correct recovery so there should be no problems now.
Also I don't see how in any case doing an OTA would cause you to lose your data. People would have a S$%t fit if they lost data on OTA updates.

Its a matter of opinion which approach is easier or "best". I just gave it as another option.
Relocking the bootloader is a single fastboot command. Yes, the OP would then need to unlock the bootloader again after the RUU.
On the other hand, the OTA approach requires flashing stock recovery, then installing 3 OTA updates in order to get up to Lollipop (opposed to just a single RUU that would take the OP up to LP).

Its not "supposed" to happen. But I have seen it happen to folks, on more than a few occasions. And yes, those folk have a S$%t fit when it happens.
In any case, everyone should backup their data and be prepared to have to restore it (and its all that much easier on a phone that is already rooted). No data is immune from loss, even from day-to-day use, and all the more for a major system change like an OS update.

Agreed backups are good.
Why 3 OTA updates? Is that a T-Mobile thing? I only had 1 when I made the jump on the Rogers network.

The OP is presently on Android 4.4.2, which is software number 1.xx. He will need a recovery corresponding to 1.xx software, as he seems to have already figured out, but its not working.

Not just a T-Mob thing.
He is on Android 4.4.2 (software 1.x). Unless T-Mob skipped a software version (and I don't think they did) he needs to update in sequence to software 2.x, then 3.x, then finally up to the current 4.x.
OTAs need to be installed in sequence; opposed to RUUs which are complete factory images, so you can skip software numbers.
Not sure about Rogers. But my guess is that you only had to update from 4.4.4 to 5.0; or something to that effect.

Makes sense. I only had to go up one level. I figured that the carriers would package all of the older updates in with new one but apparently I'm wrong. I appologize.
I was trying to help out as I had the same issue when I went to update. I installed a recovery that was too old, determined that I needed to flash a recovery from either 4.4.X or lollipop and my OTA update was fine after that. Point being, I could go ahead and flash a newer recovery to get the OTA to download.
Anyway I applogize if I was in error in my help. No one else was helping and based on my own experiences it sounded like the same issue.

OTAs will normally only allow you to install from the immediate previous version (you cannot skip a version). Sometimes they are complete packages; but often they are not. Sometimes the OTA just contains what has been changed; basically a "patch". And for that reason, the updates need to be installed sequentially. In fact, I've seen folks brick due to unwittingly installing partial firmware packages from OTAs (with s-off, which bypasses such safety checks).

There's no need to apologize. As you are well aware, this is a self-supporting community that flourishes due to the contributions of its members. Your answers may not have been 100% correct. But it was well intended; and you answered to the best of your knowledge. At least you learned something and can pass it along now. I'm just a member who passes along what I've learned here also (don't have any specialized developer knowledge or anything); and I'm certainly not right all the time.
So the recovery 3.32.5312 will not work? And i apologize i am on 4.4.4 not 4.4.2

Can someone please post a link for adb push or odin files, so we can update our n920a as we are not in USA?
Thx.
Wow---this update is KILLING my battery. Google play services is running in the background like crazy. I've lost 10% in 2 HRS with little use where as before the update I would have lost 10% by 2 PM---UGH! Anyone else having this problem?
I updated to PK1 the day I got my phone (last week Monday).
The battery life for me has been superb (since I flashed through ODIN and started setting it up from scratch).
I want to get PL1 (for peace of mind), but I don't have an AT&T SIM card, so I'm waiting for a complete file that I can flash through ODIN.
I don't want anymore updates because I'm almost out of equipment contract now and I want to hack my Note 5. I wasn't aggressive about this until recently but somehow I had auto update on. So my phone started the download but I rebooted it and stuck it in the microwave.. (panic style) Then I tried to downgrade to 5.11 using the PH4 and the PH2 firmwares in succession but PH4 soft bricked me. Then I tried flashing N920AUCS4CPK1. and I got success. Wiped it all back to November 2016 security patch. (I dunno if this works after it installs, I have a sinking feeling it will not work.. There is no firmware available with Dec 2016 security patch that I'm aware so no way to recover if I'm correct in assuming the bootloader is blocking me from downgrades)
Edit: I want stress that fact that my phone never said Dec 2016 security patch, during all this it was still Nov 2016 patch

With AT&T bootloaders, I thought that was always the case.
You WILL take the update when Nougat arrives. I'm eager to know when that will be. I have no intention of rooting my device to trip Knox.

I don't have Note 5
It seems I'll have to wait unit the next big update is released. I have the N920A, but AT&T is not my carrier so I can't get that OTA. I'm currently on PK1. My device is stock and unrooted since I have no intention of tripping knox at the moment.

With a locked bootloader, it will probably stay unrooted. I don't know of a root for it, would be nice if there was one. I think 5.01 bootlaoder got unlocked... But I keep looking...

Check the file to norbarb post, and send to your phone via ADB, you can search in google how can you send ota by adb, its easy. Send OTA via adb donesnt affect knox, its install manually OTA.
This is the new updates thread. Thanks to @norbarb for the original thread. Norbarb no longer has the Note 4 and has moved on...
Note: All updates here will factory reset your phone. Back up your data!
Let your phone cool between updates, extended overheating will kill your device.

Thx a lot for the August security patch.
Quick question, it's been awhile since I flashed updates from recovery. My son is using my old Note 4 without a SIM, so these updates are my path to keeping him up to date on security. If I flash from recovery the two latest security updates (he's on June), I'll wipe his phone, right? Will ODIN for these zips avoiding wiping him, or do I just have to have him backup/restore first?

Odin will wipe everything, so you will need to backup first. Only way to save everything is by the incremental OTA updates
My N910A is a bit behind in updates it looks like. I've unboxed it and its on Android 5.1.1 with baseband version N910AUCU2DOI3, 3.10.40-5613584 kernel, patch level 2016-02-01.
What upgrade path should I take if I want to reach marshmallow? I'm not sure what can be skipped.

Use the Odin link, and that gets you within one or two updates. Let the phone cool for an hour between updates.
If we get an update it will be an I update (we're on h now), and it will have the blueborne Bluetooth bug fix.
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/09/25/samsung-rolls-security-patches-fix-blueborne-vulnerability/
Unfortunately, I'm not seeing a S2EQI1 file on the server yet...
I hope AT&T is not leaving us with a major Bluetooth bug. Note 4 is near end of life.
Links forU2EPK1 to S2EPK2 and S2EPK2 to S2EPK3 do not work anymore
Hey guys,
I'm currently on N910AUCU2EPK1 baseband version and would like to update to newer versions.
I've already dowloaded all the most recent ones except the S2EPK2 and S2EPK3 and therefore cannot install them since I would first need to download and install the S2EPK2 and S2EPK3.
The download pages are not working anymore.
would really appreciate if you could help me on this matter.
Thanks for all your support
Utmost Thanks!
From a very old (and annoying) member still clinging to his Note 4 with removable battery (on my third battery now) I thank you so much for keeping my AT&T updated here in the United Arab Emirates....
Verizon has released the latest Note 4 security patches. Hopefully att won't be too far behind. https://www.sammobile.com/2017/09/21/galaxy-note-4-blueborne-patch-released-verizon/
I still cannot find any files on the ATT server.. Verizon's update is U2CQI2. I've tried many variants to no avail. Att is generally slower with patches. This is a good sign though, that a patch should be in the works... If/when I find it, I'll post it.
We got to be hopefull. At&T has delayed September update for most phones.
just got a update from att N910AUCS2EQE1

Only updates given to att users, OTA (over the air), with att active service will preserve your data. Downloading and applying the update wipes your data. We've searched for a work around, to no avail. Sorry you lost your data. Without att service, we can't do anything else

This really needs to be more obvious in your OP.

"Official Aug security update" gives no indication that it's going to wipe your phone. I have had to stop using this phone immediately and I'm going to end up paying a hardware engineer to remove the internal memory in a soldering oven and build a USB adapter for it so that I can recover the data that this "security update" formatted over.
Don't call something an "update" if it's a factory reset. This is bananas.

I feel terrible that you've lost important data. You'll notice the original update thread op never mentioned this either. We've probably taken this fact for granted
I've taken your suggestion and updated the op. to highlight this.
Always, always back up your data in multiple locations.
Good luck.

I just "thanked" this post and the OP. I appreciate what you're doing here. I'll figure this out, I'm resourceful!
