Official JB Update (w/ Link)

The official OTA link is http://d-h.st/3j0.
The update script checks for all the original .apks, .odexs, etc. Update fails when any of the original files are missing.

Sorry..not familiar with Moto..Gonna update wife's phone. What's the next step... Rename to update.zip and place in root of sdcard? Phone is stock not rooted.

Reboot into recovery
-Shutdown
-Press Volume-Up and Power simultaneously until Motorola logo appears
-Press Volume-Up and Volume-Down simultaneously when you see the android with the ! from his open chest
-Scroll down to and select "Apply Update from External Storage"
-Scroll to and select "Update.zip"

Doesn't work if you are on the leak. Complains about build.prop not matching. Haven't tried changing it though...

So this is the official jelly bean update without any bugs or anything?

Edit: Nope, no need for SBF on a Safestrap phone, just go back into Safestrap and uninstall the recovery.
I was getting a Status 7 failure from logwrapper but it does not require SBF to fix. Hooray!

Did you uninstall any bloat apps? If so, did you restore a backup or is everything just working for you? I am rooted on JB leak and uninstalled many bloat apps and just trying to figure out what my next step is here. And what does SBF stand for? Sorry for the ignorance, never owned a locked bootloader phone before so this is all new lol.

I only disabled bloat apps, didn't uninstall any. It checks to make sure all system apps are present (but not enabled). Your only option if you've uninstalled bloat apps using something like TiBu and if you've installed the JB leak is to revert to ICS factory image. SBF is "system boot file."
You're going to need to grab the ICS fastboot file from the dev forum and install it before either the OTA or this will work.
Root on its own is not a problem but if you have changed system apps (bloat is all "system") you'll need to do that.
If you installed safestrap that's fine, but you have to uninstall the recovery using the app before this will work because it checks the boot sequence.

Is the official update going to be worth it if we already have the leaked jellybean? All the sites I've read provide the same information regarding the new features for the update (all the same as the jellybean leak). If anyone has updated to the official jellybean from the leaked can you provide any information regarding the differences between the two

Confirmed working, and according to the Verizon PDF this official version has improved 4g reception as well as less drops on signal, improved WiFi and Bluetooth its running fine for me, going to try root and safe strap now
---------- Post added at 06:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------
Root not working which means safe strap is not working.... reverting back too old jb leak for the time being

Installed and working great.
OTARootkeeper backed up root then temp uninstalled root. Booted into stock recovery, flashed OTA from sd card, booted up, restored root, made sure entitlement_check was still set to "0"....tested stock hotspot app and works great.
Thanks OP for providing the link.

Can't wait for a non Verizon version of this. The RAZR M has to be my favorite android phone so far - great form factor and great hardware... just being stuck on ice cream sandwich is a bit **** but I'm prepared to wait

Yes, this is Verizon's official OTA. I haven't been running long so I will not comment much on stability. For the first few minutes one system app continuously force closed and restarted and the notification bar / soft keys disappeared. A reboot solved those problems.

The SU binaries were deleted during my install, despite OTARootkeeper. However superuser responded to app requests giving the appearance of root.
And you are welcome.

Root checker stated I was rooted. May have to check again to make sure the binaries are still there. Will mess w/ her (g/f's) phone when she's done using it.
Just went back to Jellywiz from Paranoid on my S3 w/ some new radios we got leaked, so been busy setting all my crap back up.
Really hoping we can get Pimp My Rom on the M soon.

I also had no issues re-rooting with OTA Rootkeeper after manual update. I think I'm enjoying project butter the most!

If I install this like other people did with the leaked version, will I have any issues if there is ever another update?

Ota update failed problem

Well here is the problem .
I was in the university when I noticed the latest update is available for n7100! so I started to download it with my 3g connection downloaded about 10 mb and I noticed that I dont have enough airtime credit left to download it so I canceled the download. When I got home I tried to download it with wifi connection and it says it's the latest update what do I do I want the update sooo bad
Can any one who installed the update give some info about the os version and new features ?
Is there a flashable file of the new rom?
" Don't tell me that was a false update message and there is no such thing for now my heart can't handle that "

can't do that 3000 mb of download my budget can't handle that ! can't i just find latest upgrade files and flash them through recovery or odin ?

There used to be the OTA files update only available on sammobile, however I don't know if they're available anymore or not.
Secondly, it's not possible to say what has been upgraded until we don't know on what version you were/are atm, and what will be the updated version.
And lastly, when you are doing things like this, you need to have an unlimited plan or something.

Take backup of important data and factory reset, it may solve issue. But you have to download update again and rarely I have experienced still fails to update. In such cases kies/odin only can solve.

I'm having the same issue. Phone declares it is modified when it reboots, so it is related to being rooted. Been investigating to no avail.
Have fiddles with triangle away settings and SuperSU's survival mode.

Finally got there. Unfroze all frozen apps with Titanium backup, uninstalled busybox, xposed framework etc - i.e. used option in app to remove from rom. Not sure which of these got it working.
Killed off my root, but CF autoroot again and all is good. New rom seems more responsive initially, will have to see about battery life etc in the long term.
Update: The wifi would not work after update. Flashed afresh using kies, and all sorted.

[Q] Failed Root Attempt. HELP!!!

Hi Guys,
So I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that as of 5 hours ago was completely stock and running android 4.3 (the official one from AT&T). I got bored last night and decided I wanted to root my phone (something I hadn't yet done in the entire year I had my phone). So I looked up how to root, read the instructions all the way (I thought my research was complete). I rooted using the CF auto method. After doing that I flashed TWRP using ODIN. I also downloaded Titanium Backup, Rom Manager & My Backup Root. I tried to use all three of these applications to make a backup of my device so that I could flash the custom Rom I wanted without losing all my information. That is when my troubles began.
Whenever I tried to access any of these apps I got a pop up saying Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped and a notification stating An attempt to access a secure area on your phone without authorization has been blocked. None of the apps would run either and just kept freezing or loading forever.Thinking I'd done something wrong I repeated the root process all over again. I still kept getting the same notifications though. I typed in the unauthorized access notification message into google and discovered about Knox. Doing some tinkering of my own I went to settings (more tab)>>security>>device administrators>> unchecked knox>>deactivate. After deactivating Knox I once again tried to gain root access and had no success. I followed the advice from previous threads and tried to change all Knox.apk files to knox.apk.bak using Explorer, I downloaded Android terminal and tried to delete knox via the command line su pm... That also did nothing. I went to the market and tried to download the SuperSU app by CHAINFIRE, it wouldn't work as it already says the app is installed but offers me no updating options. I also downloaded the Update SuperSU zip file and tried to flash it. My phone wont boot into recovery though so that hasn't gotten me anywhere. Downloaded Rom Manager and GooManager to try to get into recovery mode and still no success. later flashed philz_touch via ODIN as people who had similar problems had posted about it working for them. Didn't work for me. Flashed TWRP again using ODIN and am now just scratching my head trying to figure out how to fix this issue.
I'm personally not worried much about the warranty stuff but am more concerned with the fact that I can't root my phone. All I want is to be able to load a custom rom (MIUI v5) onto my phone. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.... If you've seen someone else with an issue like mine please just redirect me to the proper thread then.
p.s. I also tried running the root verify app and it got stuck on a loading page.
When I power my phone off and boot into recovery mode (or whatever its called) my stats read as:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I317
Custom Binary Download: Yes (7 counts) - this is from all my attempts to reroot and flash different recoveries
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 1
AP SWAEV: A2

Not sure if it matters but my phone still works fine and I can make and recieve calls, texts, etc so it doesn't seem like anything is "broken." Just no root access on a rooted phone.

As for flashing it your TWRP I can't because I can't load into recovery mode with TWRP. The only thing thats working for me is ODIN. Not sure if there's a way to flash from ODIN or not but I personally don't know of one (I'm new to ODIN).

K. Try this. 69% sure it will work.
- Download from http://d-h.st/CDK
I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip
- Extract the .zip file to get to I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.tar.md5
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Open ODIN and place the I317UCUBMK6-TZ.tar.md5 file in PDA and flash.
I know you know how to do all that's written there, I just copied and pasted from a post.

This didn't work for me either. Not sure exactly what's wrong with my note but I may just have to give up on gaining root access. maybe i'll try a different method to root.... I'm 100% sure I'm rooted though based on what the phone says when I boot into the default system recovery. Just don't understand why I can't gain root access and boot into custom recovery. Thank you for all your help though you've been an absolute doll. :angel:

It's the MK4 version of the earlier param/tz you tried.
That should have worked, clueless why it didn't.

Power down, go into download mode and flash either one of the custom recoveries.
Let it reboot, power down, then try and go into recovery.

It seems my life has become a horrible case of Murphy's Law (as far as rooting this dang phone goes). So I used the 4.3param_tz.tar file that you posted previously. After being flashed via ODIN my phone automatically booted into Philz Touch recovery more. I initially decided that I was going to flash the SuperSU update then but decided to wait as I wanted to follow the instructions completely and flash TWRP instead. rebooted the phone. Turned it off again and booted back into recovery..... I was once again met with the default stock recovery (I thought my problems were solved and was already half way through writing a post to you confessing my love).
At this point I proceeded with some caution and tried to flash TWRP. Didn't work. ODIN/my phone kept getting stuck in recovery.img. Disconnected the phone after a couple minutes, pulled the battery and rebooted into stock recovery mode. Once again ODIN/my phone got stuck on recovery mode. Tried flashing 4.3param_tz.tar again and this time got stuck at param.bin.
Did some Google searching and people recommended re-installing the drivers, re-installed device drivers and rebooted into stock recovery mode. Went back to ODIN and flashed TWRP. It flashed completely and automatically rebooted the device. When I turned the device off again and tried to go to recovery mode I was again taken to the stock recovery mode page. tried to reflash 4.3param_tz.tar and it got stuck on param.bin again. Since then I've unplugged and rebooted into recovery mode countless times and tried flashing any and every thing and I keep getting stuck at either param.bin or recovery.img.
I have to go to class now so I'll probably come back sometime tonight and try to re-install the drivers and see if I can get param to flash again. If you give up completely I understand. The longer this takes the more convinced I am that it's a sign from above that I simply need to get my ass a new phone.

Hmmm. Maybe it's my fault.
That's my last name for reals.
So the param/tz you flashed I previously posted, was the first one or second one?
Try flashing the first param.bin/tz.img combo.
Sorry for the run around.
My fault again. When i posted the Philz recovery I should have mentioned either one would have been fine.
For the custom recovery, it gets down to personal preference. Both versions are working fine. They both are touch. You are just going to have to play with both and see which one trips your trigger.
I'm getting lost where we are at.
Try flashing the original param file from the 4.3 OTA. Let's see if that completes successfully. Then we'll go from there.
I'm thinking
-Fix booting into stock recovery.
-Do chainfires CF-AUTOROOT in ODIN.
-Boot phone and try updating Supersu again

I'm in the same boat this person is in, and i was about to open a new thread. I hope you don't mine joining in for help. My husband was a ninny and accepted the full OTA when I only told him to swap over his cards into the new warranty exchange we just got in. So I didn't know about it until I started trying to root and running into problems. I ran the TZ.tar.md5 file in Odin. I tried this little method here mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50532028. I can't get anything to happen other than watching the flash counter go up. I just want root so i can restore his app with Rom Toolbox from his other phone...... This Knox thing is BS......

A ninny. Something my wife has never called me I'll have to admit. Don't think she's ever considered that, I'll have to confirm that.
Back to work.... what does can't get anything else to work mean?

A ninny. Something my wife has never called me I'll have to admit. Don't think she's ever considered that, I'll have to confirm that.
Back to work.... what does can't get anything else to work mean?
So what have you did? Any of the steps listed above?
We haven't heard from LadyF so assuming she's good to go. No reason to open another can't root thread.

Thanks for getting back to me. I tried the CF Auto Root file in Odin. I tried just flashing a custom recovery so I could flash SU to gain root. Those are the 2 main things I remember trying..the rest is a late night blur. I was going to just try and flash one of the rooted stock roms, however, and this is kinda' sad, I don't remember which spot to place it in Odin.

New update causes no wifi

I just noticed an update on my t700 today. I installed it and after it rebooted it won't turn on wifi. It shows turning on but never actually turns on. Did a factory reset but didn't help. Shows build number KOT49H.T700XXU1ANK2
Has anyone else had this problem?
If I root and install a custom rom will I get wifi back?

This was Ota update. I'll have to figure out how to use Odin. I just bought this and the note 4. These are my first samsung products. Thanks

I just updated without issue. Did you try a factory reset?

Yea I did a factory reset. I took it back to staples and exchanged it. I've only had it a week and after the Ota update the wifi wouldn't work. Now I'm afraid of updating the new one.

I updated five days ago using the odin file from the samsung-update site. Didn't have any wifi issues until today. When I reboot, wifi is on but it doesn't remember my saved networks or wifi passwords. I just did another odin this evening but this forum isn't giving me any hope for success.

Flashing ANY stock kernel (signed boot.img) will wipe your WIFI passwords and settings. The stock kernel may be included in the OTA or within the full firmware package.
This is normal and not an "issue". If you are not rooted, you just need to enter again, with root you are able to restore settings easily (if backed up).

I understand.
However, I ODIN'd the latest NK2 (wiped everything) earlier this week, re-setup my phone including wifi passwords and everything was running great until I rebooted yesterday. For whatever reason, the phone stopped remembering my saved networks after reboots.

[Q] Boot loop help!

Hi I'm a long time lurker but first time poster as I desperately need help. My S6 Edge is currently stuck in a boot loop after enabling ultra power saving mode then trying to rest my phone. My phone is rooted with the stock rom and stock recovery. If anything would there be any way I could backup up my data in download or recovery mode? Thanks in advance.

Will flashing the stock firmware cause me to lose the date currently on the phone or lose root?

Yes all your data will be gone

That's what I'm trying to avoid. If I must flash stock firmware is there any way I can backup my data first such as making an nandroid, Samsung smart switch, or adb?

Actually, I've been able to flash the stock firmware plenty of times without losing anything in the Data partition.
However, I make no guarantees. Generally, to set clear expectations, I just tell everyone the same thing: "Flashing anything to your device by any means will brick your device." If, for some reason, you manage to achieve results better than this, then congratulations. ... or something along these lines. >_<
But yeah, caveats aside, I've flashed the OCG stock and new OF6 firmwares via odin, never once has it broken or wiped my Data partition.
And, of course, once you flash the OF6 firmware, you'll be stuck on 5.1.1 without root or custom recovery. At least for now.
