Like I said, according to what some Sprint reps say. I wasn't going by what Google says in regards to a Nexus device I do not own. Google is not pushing my updates. Wish they were though..

So the S3 folks finally pulled the link for their 4.3. Where's ours? Anybody? Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] celticking:
System update downloading. Nice.

Sent from my SPH-L900
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
Very nice. An update.zip would be much appreciated if you can pull it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
Yeah, grab the update.zip from your cache directory
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trancepsychosis:
If someone pulls and shares the update, how can we install it on custom recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
You will need to be on stock recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Hopefully someone will just pull the link from their log and be done with it... I checked mine and nothing yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunking1221:
Did you go back to stock just for the link digi?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trancepsychosis:
So flash back to stock recovery, use root keeper, flash update, restore root, and re-install custom recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
There is no guarantee you will maintain as rootkeeper does not work with 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
No. It will still pull the update, it will just fail the install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
Can you inform celticking on how to pull the link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunking1221:
Got it. So if I'm on your rom I can still download the update, then upload it here for everyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
lol isn't that how the world works, people who don't know how to pull the update gets it first lmao
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
Well of course. Sprint likes to ef with us on purpose lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trancepsychosis:
Think I'll just have to way to update and keep root, too many root dependent apps and Tasker profiles....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
I guess dude clamming to be downloading the update was trolling smh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
This guy here got it and he has a screenie to prove it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2536242

he was able to pull the zip.

Did anyone download the zip yet, is it working. Not trying to mess up my phone even tho it would give a good excuse to tell my wife that I have to get the note 3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Well.. G2 is on main line so time to see how 4.3 is.. when the zip finishes downloading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwalsh3711:
Downloading the zip now. So here's a question. I'm rooted and running TWRP. With KNOX likely in the update would I be able to revert back to my TWRP system backup if I wanted to go with a clean rooted update down the road?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunking1221:
From what I understand, no. I think you may have problems with Knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I have downloaded and looked at part of it. Yes knox is in the update. I would hold off on installation till one of the devs release tgeir version. If you decide to run now there might be a chance you can never go back. Although with the brain power here on xda someone will be able to hack knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwalsh3711:
Crap. I got the zip on my device and am ready to go...sitting as crossroads...:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
So what are my chances that supersu ota survival mode will work if I take this update? Already fully downloaded the file Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Based on s4 decent. But if you want... hold off and I'll report back once I flash it. Taking one for the team on this go...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
That's why I love you guys! But I'm a bit anxious and might go right along with you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
If I see someone post a de-odex rooted stock base before this evening I know my weekend is going to be ruined ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwalsh3711:
I went ahead and tried the update via TWRP and it failed. The line is:

assert failed: getprop("ro.secure")=="1"

I'm assuming this is failing because I'm rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Usually need to be stock recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trancepsychosis:
Please let us know how it went.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
At 78% now. That's what I get for being on vacation :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
I can't update from stock recovery if I don't have an ext. SD card? I'm not finding no zip file :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sparytrainor:
It should be under your cache folder in your root directory..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jutaejrtouch:
I am so close to deactivating my note 2 with sprint cause I also have a note 3 with tmo.... But this update a And sprints LTE improvements makes me wanna wait.:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Flashing in 60 secs. See you on the flip side.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwalsh3711:
Ok, went back to stock and am updating now. My big hope is there's a radio update that will fix my crappy signal problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] that_guy90:
Could I use mobile odin to update with this zip file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
No you need to install from stock recovery on an un-modified system or it will fail.

Installing now :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Can't find it. I downloaded the file then moved it to the root of the internal SD card but it won't show up on my recovery. Same way I would do it on my S1 n S2. Only difference those had the file in the external SD. I'm lost lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Ok. Lost root even with Voodoo. Let's try CF Auto Root. Reminder, you may be able to flash a recovery but do NOT try to restore until on a 4.3 supported recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nu10lkthm:
I downloaded the zip now how do I flash from stock recovery? Thnx in advance!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guisar:
And enjoy 4.3 on the gn3 because like 4.1 on the gn2, it's th3 only tw version you're going to see before eol.

Well looks like mid october for 4.3

but i heard sprint gets the n3 oct 4th

and for all of those who have the unlimited for life plan gets early upgrade

...if not already mentioned
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
I bet android 4.4 kit kat will be bout before we get official 4.3 lol. Aosp ftfw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] magicwands:
Use it for what it is, upgrade every two years and learn to be happy...

I felt the same way alot of you guys feel back in the epic 4g daze when I bought that on launch day and then Sammy ignored it. I jumped ship earlier and got the Nexus S since it was going to be handled by Google, or so I thought. Same **** different day with that, its the carriers they dont want to admit it but they are motivated by selling hardware and new contracts. Supporting older phones is not in their interest. Root it, Rom it and learn to live with it, its the way it is sadly.

my 2 cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] adamantypants:
With the newest versions of Android, realistically you only see the improvements if you're already running vanilla android. I couldn't tell you what the improvements are in 4.3 over 4.1. And honestly I don't really care.

For a while I was running Android 4.3 on my GN2 but I went straight back to TW. Why? Because even as bloated as TW is, there are things you simply can't do with an S pen in stock Android that you can do in TW. Most of all, the camera app is far and away better in TW than it is in AOSP.

Looking over the list of improvements in 4.3 and the only thing I'd like on the list is the new Open GL support but I'm not even dying for it. I'm not trying to defend Samsung/carriers by ANY means. I'm just saying that version increases are a little overblown. IMHO 4.3 is more like a 4.2.1 (and again I didn't think 4.2 was even a huge improvement either).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tha_Dynasty2049:
and all that is correct

but i think its gon be more so what samsung drops to make 4.3 nicer

otherwise its no big deal either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
After seeing the support on QC devices I was excited for the Note 3 - until probability of tri-band LTE went to zero. (Okay, 0.00001%)

I honestly want the G2 for daily and Nexus 5 for dev but not sure I can swing both. But that's my short list for the coming months.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stoneule:
We need a leak of this pronto!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
that would be most welcome. Does this mean that one is built and ready to go?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
It means Samsung has made a build but leaks are unlikely to come out. I have even heard official resellers complaint that Sprint has taken away their access to new builds starting around March/April. They rely on what they can do from Kies and other sites because Sprint won't give them the releases. Even when it was attempted it seems there was a problem with the copies provided.

Any way you slice it, don't get your hopes up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rawdikrik:
Are you saying that it seems there may not be an update for sprint specifically anytime soon? Seems odd with the HTC ONE update that just came out weeks before everyone else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
I am saying don't expect anything beyond OTA releases. Leaks like we had before are almost with a certainty over.

that is not a sprint version

I just wanted to warn anyone that wants to just download and run this that it is for a European version of the note II.

Probably could be modified though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
No external SD? I'm lost too man but I'm sure someone will have a rooted version of this by the end of the day. I'm leaving soon for second shift and I don't really even know how to do any of this but I have faith lol.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] craign1317:
were you able to keep root?

ok. im gonna give it a shot with supersu ota rootkeeper. i hope it works lol. im going out of town and need wifi tether. here goes nothing......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Didn't work for me and CF Auto Root via recovery also a no go atm. Stand by...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] craign1317:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
Also no note 3 goodies and the same old 2006 prl...

And my device status in settings > more > about device is "custom"..

I was stock unrooted...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Can't run laptop yet but can someone try CF Auto Root through Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
Yea knew this for 2 months now....... no extra sensor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
Manual updates require ext sdcard to flash.

.....No note 3 goodies. ...wtf.....weak sauce!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lorjay589:
Before everyone start complaining about note 3 and s4 features we don't have the sensor. No use to being mad. You want the features. Get the phone that has the sensor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodi524:
I tried the CF-Autoroot from Odin. Still a no go. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
What about air command and the new multitasking and s pen Window. ..we get none of that ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Trying to reach Chainfire to ask for an updated CF Auto Root...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] odean14:
What features exactly? Ones like air scroll
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Also... don't try going back to an earlier version unless you're wanting a brick for a while...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
Worthy of all caps...

ALSO... DON'T TRY GOING BACK TO AN EARLIER VERSION UNLESS YOU'RE WANTING A BRICK FOR A WHILE...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jocelyn:
Does 4.3 for the Note 2 have the option under phone settings to make incoming calls small so it doesn't take up the whole screen? I really miss it since returning my Note 3.

Anyone flash with stock bootloader but rooted? If so what is the procedure for flashing? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunking1221:
I'm wondering if we can see if the radio has changed and eliminates any problems note 2's were having with smr
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
I flashed the update and I'm still on the 2006 PRL so I'm not very hopeful that anything changed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunking1221:
I don't think Sprint will change the prl until most of the note 2's have upgraded. I don't think Sprint can push a special prl out to the note 2's that are upgraded and not to the ones that aren't. The only way we can find out about the smr fix is head to s4gru.com, become a sponsor and manually flash a prl that prioritizes smr.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
I've not seen anyone mention this, what about billiard412's MC2 restore stock rom. He told me in a post that if I choose to flash the root zip, & that as long as I don't alter anything, that it should work for taking the ota. Of course he mentioned this to me before this knox stuff.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VECTUS:
Everyone, reading back a few pages... well, craziness... PLEASE READ... IF YOU ARE ROOTED AND FLASH THE OTA YOU WILL LOSE ROOT. You have been warned. Until developers figure out a zip or odin for this (PLUS the modems) don't do it... Now I realize most users WILL NOT read this and continue to flash this (and oh BTW if your are not rooted YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTAIN ROOT as it stands now) so it's really knowone's fault but their own... but I'm trying to save some of you some fustration... The Sprint S4 has the new OTA in zip and odin form and for NOW this is the only way to flash the 4.3 OTA. So we WILL get it figured out but be patient. And like Lorjay said the n2 isn't getting all the n3 and s4 stuff, it's ALL over the internet and all you need to do is READ...

Hopefully I just saved a few semi-bricks and irate XDA customers (which everyone actually SHOULD be complaining in the SPRINT AND SAMSUNG boards instead of here about this knox mess etc etc... but I digress...) :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jreuschl:
Keep in mind one of the enhancements listed is HD voice support. I would assume that involves some kind of modem firmware enhancement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vader4633:
Google play controls on the lock screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
Yeah, that's the one I mean, did it keep root after or having trouble?

Got my answer above, good that it worked, but I'd like to keep root.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well the one I used was not rooted. Now I am taking a huge plunge and my jack my phone but so far so good. I got twrp running on the update. Working on getting root but doubtful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Correct. The PRLs are assigned by device and account types. Not by what software is on your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bodi524:
I had the MC Stock Count Reset

I had root when I flashed the update. I have tried the CF auto root from odin. It was a no go.

I have CWM Touch installed. But so far have not been able to get root either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Finally managed to find a way to install without an SD card but it fails. It checks my system and errors out. I'm completely stock just rooted so that's weird. No tweaks or anything :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Fyi do not try su from twrp. Bad things happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
hahaha. Yeah do not try to flash with a Modded Recovery aka TWRP or CWM use the Stock Recovery. The homie Vectus made it pretty clear.:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay here is what I did. I started by flashing the MC2 stock with counter reset. Did not root. Then ran the 4.3 update and used odin to flash twrp. In TWRP you have an option install superuser which I did. Then phone would not boot past animation. Went back and ran MC2 stock with counter reset and am now back 100% to MC2 (bootloader included).

So now we know we can downgrade from Knox without a big issue. Lucky I still have a working phone. LOL!

Going back to 4.3 to play with it now I know I am not stuck with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Agent Soap:
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think ro.secure is still broke after odin flash (because of KNOX), thats why new wallet wouldnt work after a os downgrade? Somthing like that...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
never used wallet so I cant help you but from what I have seen once it is broken it will only work when you get a new phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
I can vouch for this through personal experience. If you ever open Wallet and see a message about "secure element" and then immediately fc's, queue up the mountain climber from The Price Is Right, falling over the cliff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
Not sure if I remember right but isn't there a toggle in settings somewhere to disable something with knox that will allow su to run?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Agent Soap:
Ha! Totally, I'm just curious if other apps will start to check things like that [device:custom/normal, flash counter, region lock, & on & on]. Google has started implementing similar checks via opt in as far as installing non-market apps to verify them. I'm wondering how much farther this is going until this is no longer opt in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vader4633:
Don't see Knox on my apps after the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sparytrainor:
I think its just built into the bootloader..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
See any reference to it in settings?

Or in running apps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
There are Knox apps in the update and it is also shown on the bootloader. My bootloader says warranty voided.

Also nothing in settings about Knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
Any luck with su? Have you froze the knox apps and tried cf auto followed by playstore install of su?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Just playing with the new os right now. Will try a few things later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Oy...Knox is not something that can be frozen. As soon as you flash the 4.3 update with it inside you're screwed with it. Knox is outside the OS you interact with and is low level AFAIK.

It won't keep the flag from tripping but there are other services that run with knox that can interfere with certain apps

Which is great...but you have in no way shape or form removed Knox from your handset. If it was that easy, do you really think Samsung would have sunk 10s of millions of dollars into making the crapware? And then wasted an entire Android 6+month update cycle trying to make a ROM for us with it?
