I'm starting to believe that they just updated their website and haven't actually started the rollout. I figured we would have at least one person in hear screaming to the high heavens that they have received the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
It happens like that sometimes. Maybe it'll start tonight. When I had my 3D Sprint updated their site for an update Feb 14 but none of us saw till the following day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Queue people posting they have the update and their location. Lol.. I always get a good laugh out of that like with PRL updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] usarmyaircav:
##SCRTN# caused my note 2 to reboot, is that normal? If so I apologize for asking, never tried doing that one before :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodi524:
Yes. It starts a Hands Free Activation. It reboots, activates and updates the prl. Then reboots again checks for a Firmware upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
Another thing you can try is clearing the data on google services framework in the application manager, and then updating samsung software :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] arunningpir8:
Just an FYI for those using ##SCRTN# when I did it last time I was stuck with no data. If this happens to you re-entering ##SCRTN# and going through the process again fixed my data issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] abrigo74:
So had anyone actually received the update yet? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
No source drop yet either so maybe tomorrow..

Bad News

I just called Samsung, and demended to know whether or not I was going to be getting the update, because I dont get signal with this phone. The Rep told me, "The 4.3 update was pulled from most carriers for testing, due to multiple problems on several devices." She also told me that they would resume the updates where they left off, at the Galaxy S3, and most likely will continue with other phones in the previous interval, a week or two apart, or, they might release them all to the carriers at the same time, but she doubts that. I asked if I could expect an update within the next six months, and she said probably, maybe only a month or two, depending on how testing goes. I told her all their problems would go away if they would remove the knox bootloader...she said she didn't think that would happen.

I am merelyrelaying the information I received, I cannot support or deny the truth behind her comments, except that no one has received the update yet...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nsantiago:
Waiting to see that. My girlfriend s3 is on 4.3 right now. She is from tmobile and yesterday she got the official ota update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jreuschl:
Sprint is the first one to get the Note II update.. the S 3 is the only one with issues. I think she was confused.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I hope so, my note sucks compared to my S4 as far as signal goes; it used to get signal everywhere, but a couple months ago the bottom dropped out, then the S4 got updated and started having really good signal, but the Note still sucks. I did read earlier that CSR's will say anything to get you off the phone, but then when I read that they haven't dropped the source yet it concerned me, because they dropped the source for the S4 the day before the update was available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrebo:
S3 AT&T - downloading 600+mb update now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
That the update that was supposed to be removed due to terrible battery life, severe wake lag, and black screen bugs?

That says nothing we don't know already. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
as it's been said, dont think you're going to get any good information from a csr. the best thing, IMO, that we have to go off of is the report that the n7100 update has been fairly solid. forget about S3 and possible S4 pulls for the time being I would say
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Well folks... I think Sprint goofed.

Source MK3 dropped but it's not for the Note 2 - It's for the S3.

As of now still nothing for us... for now. That CSR may be right, they may have just pushed everything back a week.

Still thinking we're going to see it before Black Friday - sales depend on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Now come on, there's been times Sprint rolled out updates before Samsung dropped source. I'm sure they won't update their software page without an update to roll out. Until I see MK3 on Sprint's S3 software page I don't think it's going to hit OTA even with source dropped. That software page usually on track judging from older devices I've had. At least I hope :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I'd believe that as well, I was just more talking of the quality of the update, not as much when it happens.

:thumbup: to updates, regardless of when they...."rollout"

Edit: and if the CSR WAS right, i swear it was a coincidence :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
OK, I owe folks an apology. Everything I read earlier on here I thought pointed to MK3 for the N2.

But seeing that it was MK4 I turned to our previous leaky source and confirmed MK4 is real and is the OTA as of now.

(No more tarballs but was at least nice enough to confirm the build status.)

So sorry to pour cold water on the party, it's time to turn it up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Yay! I'm not going to lie, since it came from you it kinda crushed my hopes but I tried to keep the faith! Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Again my apologies. Been trying to follow up on everything even though I'm on vacation. I'll try to keep a closer eye over the next 48 hours.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
that's it. you're fired :)

have a good night buddy.

enjoy the vacaa!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jworkcoo:
Do anybody know how big the update is? I'm rooted and I'm on MA7 and I keep getting this message. I'm on a touchwiz miui rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
You're not the 1st one I've seen mention an update under 30 mb. I honestly don't see how it could only be that small but you never know. People on phandroid.com are saying the update made their devices run much smoother and faster. I'm guessing they are not rooted but man hopefully someone around here comes up with something. I'm rooted and on a custom kernel so I wouldn't know what to do to extract it anyway. I'd like to wait for a rooted restore but if that don't happen soon I might just go back to stock and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jworkcoo:
Yeah I don't know what it is and I don't want to install it because I don't want it to Bork root... It pops every time I reboot my phone. I thought you couldn't get otas when rooted and on a custom rom...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I didn't think so either. That whole bootloader thing sounds a bit scary to me too. If it is locked down then yeah that would really suck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
He's on MA7, its just MC2 trying to come in. MC2 is just bug fixes that's why it's so small.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
I was getting the same thing. I just clicked install update phone rebooted to twrp and nothing happen. Rebooted phone haven't seen that update ever since. Nothing wrong with phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
the size of the update for the S4 was somewhere around 536 MB, and this one is supposed to be around 600 MB, from what I've read...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmy72:
You are getting that message because you unrooted by going back to stock however you went to old stock, or somehow your root has gone a lil haywire. It is just updating you to the current version of MC2. MA7 is just an older version

Pushing MK4 Kernel source to my Git now for easy cloning

I'll update community kernel after vacation.

I take it nobody woke up with an update notification as nobody is excited and posting screenies. Where the hell is this update? :confused:

or you could use the source on http://opensource.samsung.com :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I know what you meant. And no you probably shouldn't. Yeah it might work but I think you would have network issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
we have patches for that, but to be honest it may be more effort than its worth with how soon we'll prob have our own.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
Networks never the issue.

And truuuuuuuu!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Yeah I wasn't really sure. Hopefully we get something soon though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
Yea. Also I can't wait to see all the crying about not having the extra sensor for those extra features like the s4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Lol. That and where's our KitKat!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
Lol true. We have kit kat though. I mean I like aosp roms. But im more of a tw person only because all of them theme features in all the aosp rom and tablet modes don't pump me up I can do it myself. Tw have tons of sensor and motion features that I prefer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
I have not seen one person report that they have gotten the OTA,,,

Guess I have to do the ODIN install when I get home :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Lol. I don't think there is. Even Sammobile isn't showing any new firmware as of yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
Lmao. Maybe he's going to Odin back to stock and try to receive the update. Just a thought. I've already tried this to no avail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Really missing sextape right about now! :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
I just realized what was posted on the Samsung Open Source Resource Center is only the kernel..

The release notes and the Tremendous amount of time it took to download made me think otherwise.. my bad!

:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
It's all good man. We're all just anxiously waiting. Weird how there is no actual download anywhere yet though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
The S4 full download was not posted for over a week after the update went out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
If it weren't for all that bootloader and Knox bull**** I'd probably go back to stock and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Agreed, eagerly awaiting a TWRP flashable MK4 ROM. Don't think I'll go back to touchwiz permanently but I'll give it a shot again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodi524:
http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourSamsungGalaxy

Well the link doesn't go to the right spot. But if you hit "Learn More" then how to update on the right you get to the screen.

This Says updated Nov 21st. And MK4 is removed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] qbking77:
Probably having some issues with the build
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flexxoo:
Wow are you serious??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Read: the same issues the s3 was having with there's.

Unsurprisingly AOSP 4.4 will get to the N2 before 4.3 TWiz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bonebeatz1234:
Since they released the kernel are we gonna be able to port 4.3 roms. I give up on the update anytime soon, but my thing is why post that your gonna release it and not one person get it. I rather just not even be giving a date for the update, I wasted my time all yesterday getting my phone prepared lol i should have known . guess I'll wait for a port to pop up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Changelogs often get posted before actual updates, happens all the time on Play Store. What is funny is that apparently for the huge (7 month) delay of Twiz 4.3, no one actually bothered to test it until they posted the changelog.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Honestly I don't know why they don't let us test it. It's not like they don't know who we are. And obviously we would pick it apart peice by peice. **** I wouldn't even expect pay lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Because when we had our phones broken by an official update...guess how much warranty claims would go up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Not really sure but aren't most of our warranties void anyway from rooting and custom kernels and what not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
There are 5 million testers here at XDA, not only testers, but fixers. I don't go to Sprint or Samsung for support, I always check here first, and last for that matter. Unless I wake up and see that the update is ready to download to my fone, I will get it from here. I will not install it directly from them, the only reason I would download it from them is so I can post it here.

If they were to release it to XDA first, they would never experience problems from the general public. XDA devs would pick it apart, fix it and ship it back to them much faster than their small handful of inexperienced developers and software engineers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
So long as when you show up at the Sprint store for a warranty claim with a stock unrooted ROM on it with a stock bootloader...your warranty will go through. IOW, so long as you're able to successfully flash the fully-back-to-unrooted-stock ZIP file, you're fine.

With Knox etc that is gone. And if your USB breaks and you ever rooted your handset, you're SOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Not doubting you but I would never try that. I've heard of others doing that before and then getting hit with $600 plus on their next bill. Yeah it might work but I would not take the risk. Assurion replacement for a "lost" device sounds a lot better. Not that I would lol but just sayin'.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CNexus:
Not true, it was posted the same day

I know because I posted the stock rooted 4.3 based on the OTA file that someone kindly uploaded.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
I have to call b.s. on this update 4.3 is outdated anyways and this premium of a phone we should of gotten 4. 4 just sayin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodi524:
With all the s3 4.3 failure and now 4.3 on the note II. They just lost a ton of potential Gear sales. If they can't get 4.3 right in months... They won't fix it in a week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
They mean the tarball, not ROM only. And it was indeed about a week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
True that! Remember the epic 4G touch days, all kinds of leaks thanks to him, Garwynn too :P

4.3 TW can't come soon enough for the note 2 can't wait to see all the new roms start flooding the development page all over again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CNexus:
Eh, well someone could easily have made a tarball from their own 4.3 rooted phone. Granted that it would not be signed, but that's really the only difference between that and an official tar of the entire update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Him/her. Not sure if that was ever established lol! I miss that forum though man. The most fun I ever had with a device and that's the truth! We used to get like weekly if not daily leaks lol! Though most of those members did travel here. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
That was the update zip. What was not posted was the full tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
Lol I heard sextape was a few people but hey. I still dont know if its s/he. Lol im sure we'll get it soon. At least the wait for the 20th is over lmao. Now just the rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Sextape and and the E4GT! Good ole days!!! Too bad I think he/she left us to focus on the porn industry, sure is missed a lot.. :( :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] CNexus:
Read my post above. Easily obtainable, and I did have someone dump all of their partitions for me immediately after taking the S4 OTA, didn't bother to tar it but oh well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Yeah that device was a lot of fun. Bought that thing when we were all excited about gingerbread lol. Still got it kickin around in drawer here somewhere. And coming from the EVO 3D I wouldn't want another HTC device if it were free!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
That doesn't give you modem or apn-hlos odin flashable. Let's not beat the dead horse any more, there is a value to the stock tar vs. dumps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] seewhyphotos:
Okay, quick question:

If by some freak of fate, I happen to get the 4.3 update, what do I need to do to ensure that I capture the update to be able to share?

No, I haven't received it, but just in case the Sprint Gods feel that I deserve it, I would like to capture it and have it available to share, or reuse if I ever "need" it..

Thanks..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodi524:
ITS BACK!!!

MK4 is Back

lol somebodies gonna have a heart attack when this drops. i suggest you guys make some doctors appointments because besides wanting the gear and new roms in the dev thread. where not getting much. So we don't wanna see slit wrist and people hanging themselves ok!!!!! XDA IS ON RED ALERT lol :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Lol yeah it sucked! It's around somewhere but I don't even care. Hopefully update is real this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Eww don't mention the 3D! Mine got stolen and I was actually happy about it.. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
It will be downloaded to the cache directory, I'm not sure how to pull it; I use a program called Android Commander, its a GUI Application for ADB functions. That is what I'll use to pull it, then I'll post it. But, I live in St Louis so I was one of the last people to get the update on the S4, I will probably be one of the last ones to get it for the Note 2 as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] seewhyphotos:
Thanks.. I'll try and stay aware of what I'm doing when/if it drops. I live in Austin, so I'm usually at about the same time frame as you..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
That how you got your gs2? Lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
Lol every time it was time to take pics at an event I was pissed off smh. 5 mega pixels. And sense is too heavy to me. Moves to slow
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Location has nothing to do with how long it takes to get an update. Sprint has a system that goes by device serial number and time of activation. If you were one of the first to get a Note you'll also be one of the first when it's time for updates too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Well I'm guessing sense 5.5 on the One is probably pretty good but htc bootloaders always sucked at trying to obtain root imo. And the whole SD and non removable battery is a no go for me. I like to carry extra batteries as I hate being tied to a wall and they're dirt cheap on amazon. Looks like Samsung is following suit with the bootloader thing though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
No. I upgraded one of my other lines lol. Funny thing is I knew who took the phone so I told one of our mutual friends to tell him to enjoy the sh*tty phone and although it's crap it's probably the nicest thing he now owns and he's welcome. I wasn't even mad at all lol.. I still miss my E4GT though, we had so much fun and development was never dull! Sextape and sfhub with his OC's will forever live on in my heart.. #Tear :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jreuschl:
I don't think that is true. I activated mine on launch day and was one of the last to receive the last two updates. I would LIKE that to be true! And it would seem appropriate!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Someone just said something similar on the S3 forum. The opposite effect though, he says his sister got her phone months later but got 4.1.2 before him.. That's just what I was told from a few reps in the past. I believed it because on older devices like the EVO 4G I got it on release day and I always got updates soon as they came. Aah idk but I do know location is not a factor at all..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Anyone check Kies yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
I don't believe this is correct.

Check out this article with info about the release process

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bravo78:
Just did... nothing yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jworkcoo:
Looks like the update is starting to roll out... This is from the Android Central forum
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
3 things I want to point out. First thing is this article is about clearing out Google Services Framework. Second this article is specifically referring to Nexus devices which get updates directly from Google and not the carriers or manufacturer of the phone. And finally nowhere in there I saw where location plays a role. It just talks about released in batches, which we already know updates do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
Yep. Nothing there. How are you liking the G2? I'm thinking about getting it with my upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
I've never actually used it before, but I'm installing just to see if its out there

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Time of activation has nothing to do with when you get an update. That was my point
