[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nutzy:
Honestly with all the small issues that most are experiencing in the leak, Im not sure Verizon is close to releasing this update without some more extensive testing. Thanks be to Beans for getting us this preview and preparing the Devs for whats in store, but its a long way from "stable" in my opinion. I'm running it basically stock and have had 3 randon reboots and services will just FC randomly. Its not a huge issue as I expected to have some growing pains but its runs more like a port than a ROM designed for our Note 2.

Just my 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
^^^^ THIS!

My hope is that MJ9 is rather old and there is a newer version that is close to release with these bugs worked out.

On another note, how many people have been confirmed to receive MJ9 as an OTA? Doesn't seem VZW would be testing such a buggy build on the public and it makes me wonder exactly how this build was obtained, but that's another story.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JasonGeiger:
I was being a smart ass. We will know its here before someone random person reports he's getting it. I agree with the build and hope what they push is updated. I haven't had any major issues with it but I'll probably go back to Carbonrom this evening.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
Odd thing is some of us have been running the Stock OTA that beans made and haven't had a single reboot. Not one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
It's not that odd, and that's the point of vetting software before releasing it to the public. There are obviously certain things some users are doing or some combination of installed apps and processes that are causing issues. No two users are going to do the exact same thing with their phones which is why its important to thoroughly test software before releasing it.

FWIW, I have had a few reboots overnight and the only way I could obviously tell was that my "Trickster Mod Settings applied at boot" notification was in my notification drawer.

I haven't had any random reboots but my gallery has taken a dump a couple times and have gotten soft reboots during graphic intensive Web pages and a couple games. Some apps I haven't opened since a reboot give a crash toast notification that they crashed. Nothing to keep it from being a daily driver though.

I dodn't suppose anyone has a link to download vzw_software_upgrade_assistant.exe, It seems to no longer be on my phone. When in installer mode there is nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Leifrn:
I had to turn off USB debugging on the phone in order to get the installer to start. You could try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellyhead:
I did try that but it still didn't work. I did wipe everything on my phone with TWRP trying to get the beans 4.3 release to work. I downloaded kies 3 which was named. VZW_Software_upgrade_assistant.exe but it was actually kies and also wouldn't work with my phone, maybe because I flashed unrecognized software on it.

I can't even figure out what you're trying to do.

Flash the modem?

What I'm saying is that after wiping and flashing when I plug the phone into the PC in installer mode, there is no longer a folder with the file VZW_Software_upgrade_assistant.exe. in fact there seems to be nothing until I check Media Device. I want to use the upgrade assistant app to download the official 4.3 OTA because the modded I605VRUEMJ9 found here

VZW Update

You do know that this has not been released as yet! This was just obtained by someone by accident.

VZW Software is a PIA and never really gives you an update, KIES does not work with this phone either.

So the only way to get it is to flash the zip. I am not sure why it is not working for you but, I have had no issues except the Wifi issue that they tell you about.

The only way to get the original OTA is to flash to stock and "wait" for its release. Not sure when or if that will occur.

:(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
And by flashing to stock he means flash a stock rom and keep your unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. If you take the ota and the new locked down bootloader u will prolly be waiting on a safestrap for the n2 before you can go custom again. If you do get the ota just pull the zip from /cache and post it on here for someone to prep it for custom recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
I think Verizon won't post a ota until after new years. Besides what are they adding that's new to 4.3? Nothing really. I rather go with community fixed releases, and all the added extras that vz never includes.

Still No Update

Still No Update for my Note 2 for Verizon Ohio USA :mad:

I am hoping they will do the OTA before Christmas.......I bet some people have purchased the new gear and are expecting this OTA which supports the new gear to come out before Christmas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rsmin:
You are correct. I have the Gear and was hoping the OTA would have been out by now. I did go ahead and root it and have latest UK update on it and loaded Null_TWRP and Null_ROM but without the 4.3 update it's only half way there. I tried my best to root my Verizon Note 2 but just couldn't get it to work. Wish I could, I would just root it, put the 4.3 ROM on it that "beans" provided for us and move on. Tried using Casual to root it but even with all my Antivirus turned off I still couldn't get Casual to work... Not great on rooting so easy for me to get "lost" in it. It could be that I have problems because my computer software is Vista... Anyway, would love for the update to come on out but now I am beginning to wonder. I have to be with Verizon because of where I live. Nothing else works well in my area. I know all the way back to my Droid X days, Verizon has always been slow with their updates. BUT if it wasn't for the Gear I wouldn't even care about this update, because my Note 2 has been flawless since purchasing it last year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaybenosa:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcody03:
update

I would not think Verizon would roll the update out today with the note 3 update still being pushed out. I hate to say it but the way it looks it would have to be next Tuesday the 24th which I do not see Verizon doing or we have to wait for the new year to get the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
I had hope in the beginning (when one member got a 4.3 ota) but now ive pretty much lost all hope for an ota before Christmas. It doesn't bother me too much because I am fine with asop and 4.1.2 tw roms out now. But then again it pisses me off that vzw has to delay everything and for no good purpose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JasonGeiger:
Who knows if it's for no good purpose or not but I don't get why there isn't more transparency with what's going on. Maybe because the people who come here are a fraction of a percent I dunno.

If I'm running the beans 4.3 OTA rom will I be prompted for the actual OTA once it is released?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
I don't believe so, and I wouldn't recommend taking the actual OTA as it will most likely relock your bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
So, where are all of those that said "We're guaranteed to get the update to 4.3 on the leaked date from Samsung" now that the date has come and gone?

I think I guessed February or March on another forum. I was hopeful once I saw that list, but I think I will go back to that guess. I might flash a stock ROM after it drops to check it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] refuse2bstopped:
Soooo.... quick question...

For anyone who's flashed beans rom, can you tell us if it includes galaxy gear support and the standard "S-pen" specific features/apps, since it's stated to be based of an ACTUAL stock "test/leak" that just hadn't been released yet? Anyone who knows please let me know.:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rod_ol_fo:
I haven't seen much on the galaxy gear support. People are asking for galgear support on the next stable build. Are you talking about air command? You still have typical s pen features from 4.1.2; nothing more there. At least none that I've noticed. There are so many other little things that make 4.3 better that it's worth upgrading the firmware and all that stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] refuse2bstopped:
So you have the beans rom? I may do it even w/o the gg support at this point since it will likely come in the future plus I can always go back to full stock later if I want...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rod_ol_fo:
Yeah I recommend just doing it. Although I highly recommend backing up everything. I had to format internal data but that's because old 4.1.2 claimed a good chunk of memory. And there are still random reboots but still a daily driver for me. But my battery life has increased oddly enough haha. Just do it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
Ive been running beans for 4 days without using odin to flash the firmware. Its been rock solid. About 4 hours screen on time. Gps locks fast. Bt works as it should. Volumes are good. I havent brought myself to flash anything else and i flash alot. Wifi works great.

It does support the gear... It was the only reason I rooted and flashed my GN2... got tired of waiting on Verizon.

Oh and nothing yet in so cal i want the 4.3 leak but dont want to unlock the bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] refuse2bstopped:
Are you using the odexed or deodexed version? Also, did you do a complete system/data wipe first (after system back-up of course)? Or did you just flash it over the current firmware? Or perhaps there are slots I can use and switch back and forth like bootstrap allowed me to do on my droid razr in the past? (assuming you've used bootstrap on a device before) I've already rooted and DL'd the odexed version, just going to wait to hear from you and read a little more from others using it before I flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] _jfo_:
I'm running the odexed version and its been great. I did a complete wipe then flashed the ROM. (Only thing that wasnt working properly at this point was wifi, but that was expected) Then attempted to use mobile Odin to flash the firmware but it was unsuccessful. I then reverted to the desktop Odin and everything has been running great ever since. Not a single reboot, or FC for me so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
I use deodex version. I wiped everything but sd, flash rom and reboot, flash modem fix and latest devil kernel, reboot and setup. Ive had no fcs, one reboot. Seems to get more smooth daily. Ive flashed over 5000 times on different phones, this one was easy as the last one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760974850

This is the file i flashed INSTEAD of using odin to flash the modem. Its much easier and you do it in recovery after flashing rom. Then i flashed latest devil kernel. Good luck dude.
