Unable to update software (either through Kies & OTA)

Hi, I have a Note2 (n7100) for almost a month now and I cannot update its software to the latest which is 4.1.2.
My phone keeps saying that I already have the latest one but I still have the 4.1.1... I also installed Kies on my PC also shows that I have the latest firmware.
My phone is not rooted. Could please help me? Do I need to change some settings on it.

Not only you but many others also having this, likely this is from samsung server issue not on your device. Or may be your country have not received update yet.
Simply download latest ROM and flash using it Odin, really odin is much safer and stable then Kies.
you can get more info from my signature, read N7100 All in One.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to know where can I download the official firmware that fit to my phone? Can I use firmware based in Regions Supported: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom. OR I need to download a different one.
below is the information of my phone
Baseband version: N7100XXALJ2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-310959 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMT
Build number : JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3
Hope to hear from you soon.
*** Using ODIN means just only update the firmware not rooting it? Because I do not want to root my phone. Just update it to the latest one.

Can you input here what you are getting by dialing *#1234#

Search 'samsung update' using Google, download any note 2 firmware you desire... (Don't worry I flashed France firmware although my phone is from Korea, it works perfectly)
Flash the firmware using ODIN...
1. DOWNLOAD Note 2 firmware (any)
2. Extract the zip file (Firmware that you downloaded)
3. Open ODIN, browse the md5 file in PDA...
4. Flash it
Done, easy... This WILL NOT ROOT your device... DON'T WORRY!
GOOD LUCK

Samsung Note2 unable to update
I have e same problem as minitokyo. I bought my note2 when 1st launched (1st batch), and software version is now 4.1.1. My phone is registered in Singapore with service provider Starhub. My phone runs on the generic platform instead of the service provider Starhub's platform . When i tried to update to 4.1.2 a few weeks ago, it says that i have "have the latest software installed". I just cant get it updated via phone (ota) or via computer (kies). I called Samsung , they cant explain too, other than offering to reset my phone to factory settings , which will erase all my data, so i do not want that. Until today, .i also cannot update. Where is the problem ?

[Q] n7100 N7100XXUEMK9 no IMEI odin FAIL KNOX activated

Hi everyone,
I am tried to recuperate a Samsung note 2 GT-N7100 without efs backup and baseband, imei and network lost. KNOX is activated.
Following to "Originally Posted by dr.ketan View Post N7100XXUEMJ5 How to Root + Remove New Bootloader + KNOX Free" from "dr.ketan" I really hope that I can do it. But in the first steep I´m blocked, because when I try to flash "PDA: N7100XXUEMJ5" in the first second appears "FAIL" and the phone said "that is not compatible with this version".
To download the original rom from sammovile like dr-ketan said linking to "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499794" of "Faryaab" and I cant find:

So I download from external webs but am not sure if it doesn’t work or is my phone´s problem.
I explain exactly all my probes that i did before this post, an actually I am really feel that I´m loose this battle, so please if anybody has an idea it´ll be great!
I beging with no IMEI, so the phone can´t take network to use it. Always that become dead the only way to recuperate it is flash via odin:

After that I can swicth on, but steel without IMEI and network; and of course KNOX activated.
Ok, let´s go to explain what I did before in case this can give aut some information:
1.- To recuperate the IMEI with ARIZA-Path
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-siii-network-problem-update-sn-t1918601
I obtain root access to install busy-box and ariza-patch with KNOX activated. The patch was apply correctly, but it wasn’t recuperate the IMEI
2.- To recuperate the modem or base band using different files
Here I used many post from XDA testing different modems, patch and baseband according of my PDA file in every moment. But still no work, sometimes become in CWM mode "signature fail", other via odin "PASS"; but the conclusion in every case is the same, "phone unknown, no baseband, no IMEI..."
Here I have other question, when u flash the modem, for example "XXDME4 / DXDMF1 / DDMG1" do you have to put only the correct one (DXDMF1 in my case) or all of it. I did both, just to try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584250 to read and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937 to download modems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468119
3.- To recuperate the IMEI via flash Philz after that in CWM using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536418
The same situation
4.- To complete flash and recovery with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154890
I did the same operation in other S-4 and works, but here my problem is:
- The complete pack of 5 files to flash it via odin, I only found for android 4.1.2
- If I try to downgrade with KNOX active, become "FAIL"
- If I try to flash a version of android 4.3 without KNOX, appears one more time the same "FAIL"
Posible solution for that ¿¡?
- Find out a complete flash files for android 4.3 (PDA, MODEM or baseband, BOOTLOADER, CSS and in case Pit file)
- Downgrade to 4.1.2 and install OXA pack that I have it
- Restore it for SAT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261 with flash counter in 0
- Use KIES to restore it (I hate this possible solution) external link obviously in http://www.droidviews.com/firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-solution/
Hopefully u posts it in correct place and someone can help me.
Regards to moderates people and every person who post looking for helps to others.

To Downgrade you N7100 and remove KNOX you need
1. OLD JTAG microSD card
2. Open the phone
3. Short Resistor
4. Power up the phone
5. Wait for success message
6. Assembly back
7. Flash to ANY old SW and Knox will not showed in Download Mode

[Q] Install 4.4.2 from Sammobile manually

Hi All,
Got a small question about upgrading my S4Mini (GT-I9195 LTE) from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.
At the moment my phone is on stock-rom which is 4.2.2 , when i check for 'updates' it says, 'latest updates already installed'.
Also when connecting to 'Kies' , the program says latest firmware already installed..
However when i check the Sammobile website for the GT-I9195 Model there are newer firmware's showing up , Android 4.4.2, but it depends on the country if the firmware is already at 4.4.2.
For the Netherlands, where i'm from, this one is available :
Model: GT-I9195
Model name: GALAXY S4 mini LTE
Country: Netherlands (Vodafone)
Version: Android 4.4.2

However, i'm not with Vodafone as a provider, would that be a problem ?
When i check my phone specs, this is what i get:
AP: I9195XXUBNB3
CP: I9195XXUBNB3
CSC: I9195PHNBND1
Can i just install android 4.4.2 from Sammobile without any problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Network/carrier specific firmware may have custom software or setting for the ROM, it better to find some other model that are as close to your phone's spec as possible to avoid any potential problem.
As if your phone has Know, it would trigger Know if you don't update via the official way.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Knox-flag is already triggered on my phone, but because i had to sent it back to shop for maintenance they reset it back to factory settings (android 4.2.2.)
However, i don't get it the way Samsung is updating the phone's. It's said that 4.4.2 is out for S4Mini , however when i'm searching for my device on Sammobile (I9195XXUBNB3), it still says 4.2.2.
Should I wait with updating, or what else ?

That depends entirely on you... If you wish to preserve the warranty and keep the KNOX, than don't. If you can't wait and don't get bother by KNOX or warranty than go for it.
LOL, too tired, I just realize I keep typing KNOX as 'know'...

I just typed that my KNOX warranty is already void, it's triggerd 0x1.
I'm now just wondering what the best way is for me to update to stock 4.4.2...i'm confused with al the stock-roms that have 4.4.2 for S4Mini on Sammobile.

All the ROM listed on Smmmobile is for different region. And I would also expect there won't be a 4.4.2 for your specific phone since you've check via Kies. So you need to find a phone from another region that are same spec as yours - band, function, etc and prefer not a carrier/network model.
Alternatively you can go for the custom KK ROM here.

Full unroot of sm-t805 from marshmallow 6

Hi
I need advice on how to unrooted and fully restore my device to as much as factory out-of-the box state as possible.
Background: I have not been using my Tab for a while and before that I was using Iron rom 2.2.
I went straight to marshmallow 6.0 and it worked perfectly, except for camera issues, SD card issues etc. Really fast compared to previous ROM I was using.
Right now my device has not got any PDA or CSC values? according to Phone info and SamMobile device info.
*#1234# generates: connection problem or invalid MMI Code
*#06# does produce IMEI and LTE connection has been working correctly but somewhat buggy when roaming.
I think i might have missed a step or two and i should have updated to a recent bootloader before updating to marshmallow, my bootloader is from the wrong region but It matched the device and operator (austria/telenor/vodafone) by the time I flashed it for the first time (early days of smt805)
so far i have:
1. Downloaded Proper Nordic Region NEE (Sweden) region firmware from samfirm software, also downloaded the binary version just in case. It says you are suppose to make use of AP, BL, CP, CSC on newer devices? What box should i Tick?
2. Everything is backed up including EFS
3. read many threads about this topic but I am still a little bit uncertain for this particular device/scenario

S9 (SM-G960F) No OTA updates. Changing firmware.

Hi experts,
I bought a used S9 (SM-G960F) a few months ago from Pakistan. Phone is un-locked and was manufactured in YATELEY, UK. This phone never receives any OTA updates. When I manually check for updates, it says that latest updates have already been installed. I checked on a sammobile, there are quite a few updates available there.
I am not sure what kind of firmware or CSC modifications were done to this device before I bought it (I am sorry but I am still a noob when it comes to android, so please help). I did however check with Phone INFO app, the device is not rooted. In settings it also says that it is official and knox warranty void is 0x0.
Can I flash a firmware for my current country (Pakistan) using Odin?
For example this one: PDA G960FXXU2CSA2 and CSC G960FOXM2CSA2.
Or should I use UK BTU firmware? In that case would I have to unlock the phone by using UK SIM before being able to use it in Pakistan?
My Phone INFO:
