Needs some help

I wish that I knew how you guys were getting this OTA zip file to work?

I started with a 4.1.2 rooted stock ROM (because the OTA from AT&T was downloading the update to my phone but I would assume it sensed my Root and/or Counter being at 4 and stopped) so, I attempted to update by downloading the i317CUBMK6.zip file from previous posts via CWM and got errors just after it read/verified the file... I wiped Dalvik cache first and the install aborted. Since that point, I did a factory reset and booted the phone back up and AT&T wanted to send down the OTA update again and after it asked me to restart to finish installing, it came back up and failed to install. Funny thing is, I'm still Rooted after the factory reset. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your help and understanding.

damn, i wish i had all that together before jumping in and flashing over my stock with root. I'm not a fan of roms but do enjoy all the root features and xposed. i'm probably stuck at this point to wait for a root process that works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jspex:
For clarification I used the back to stock with 0 flash counter method posted here

and did the official ota from att (not the posted zip) before the above posted method.

now my only issue is wifi. ugh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] martyh1:
Can anyone confirm if the Air Command & Snote call to action features (like on the note 3) are missing from this 4.3 update for the note 2? Those are a couple of the features I would want most over my current 4.4 Kit Kat rom I'm running on my note 2. I certainly don't need group play. I wouldn't mind having the multi window feature back also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jspex:
Both missing yes. I was really hoping for air command myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RoninTPD:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] teslafied:
flymacs, thank you so much!!!! I saw that thread but was afraid to try anything, thinking I'd just make things worse. I flashed the file you suggested. Wi-Fi started working as soon as it rebooted. I didn't have to wait a minute or mess with airplane mode.

I read a few threads back that some people are using CF-Auto-Root on this 4.3 OTA successfully. Perhaps I'l give that a try as soon as I get the itch. Hopefully more people will confirm their results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] justforgot:
Sorry guys. I been reading some news that att note 2 4.3 update is released but my device is still on 4.1.2 and i see no update available.

No ota or kies. What should i do.

88 megs? its fricken huge so its taking a min to upload but ill have it here soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] flymacs:
Glad it's working, but the thanks go to the people that put it together.

I also rooted with CF-Auto-Root with no problems. I manually installed SuperSU (Play Store). When I launched SuperSU, it disabled Knox and I've been enjoying this update ever since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kabinoff:
Well I didn't do anything but come home and use my home wifi..apparently this one works perfectly. ..maybe it was a real router issue at work, but our remote building didn't have a single complaint today... well I'm on 4.3 Knox disabled rooted with X posed framework. OS feel nice.

Awesome :D can't wait to see the amazing stuff you come up with.

If there is anything I can help with just let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcamacho228:
Can someone please upload the md5 tar version of the file so I can flash this update through Odin cause it's sure not working on CWM or Stock Recovery. I'm either getting Status 7 error or Status 4 error, it never ends. Also the sd card path error. At this point I might just sell this freaking phone and buy one that hasn't been rooted or that isn't rooted and that has successfully updated to 4.3 cause this is driving me crazy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] seanzscreams:
its bc its a patch zip if you extract the zip provided to flash in recovery

wiping your current rom instantly makes the phone inoperable

bc the only files included are that which are being replaced or updated

so flashing the zip in post 9 and wiping factory data resetting etc.

your phone will never boot its meant to be an ota from a previous build( 4.1.2 )

so

you can always flash sky note or ditto note 3 rom or the rogers rom I provided in the devsection until I can finish this rom or sammobile posts a full mk6 release and not just an update file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcamacho228:
Well I rooted and tried to run a few Cyanogenmod roms and none of them installed. I haven't tried running the ditt note 3 rom but I have a feeling it wont install either and I'll be stuck on 4.1.2. for the rest of my life.lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jspex:
Have you tried to Odin back to 4.1.2 then applying the patch zip? As long as you can still enter dl mode you should be able to flash the sammobile firmware to fix your os.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] void22_22:
Fix worked, thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] emeianoite:
Glad it worked out for you.

Can't wait for the legit 4.3 thought =D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcamacho228:
4.3 patch zip or 4.1.2 patch zip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jspex:
The 4.3 ota patch that was posted a page or 2 back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcamacho228:
So basically replace the patch files with the files in the 4.3 update zip and try to run it again, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SnowTauren:
Guys can someone please tell me why when I move the app to SD card, only a portion (Negligible) amount is moved. This is happening with all the apps I have installed, making the the move function in 4.3 completely useless.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jspex:
This^ so far this is the only ota patch update here. The files I posted were for the developers to use, not for flashing randomly.

Please guys read the whole thread. I know the page count is growing but this is not a rom or a firmware yet so you really have to know what your dling and trying to flash from this thread.

Did you thank your Developer today?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcamacho228:
Hey! I'll be the judge on whether this works or not! After all it seems like I'm the only one in the world who's phone is anti-updating to 4.3. Whether is error status 7 or 4 or signification error.lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Simba.7:
Oh god..

WHY

did I update to this? It looks, and operates the same as 4.1.2, except for the Knox crap. I'm finding it quite annoying and some apps (rdio) are having issues with 4.3, but not with 4.1.2.

If there is a way to completely revert my phone back to 4.1.2 (including the bootloader), I'll do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jspex:
In time we can hope the devs come up with a method to step back from the knox bootloader but for not you are stuck.

I personally see a noticeable difference in the performance of the device and my benchmark scores reflect a positive change. All in all after rooting and freezing all 6 knox components this isn't a bad update; just a tad lackluster.

Did you thank your Developer today?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcamacho228:
Good news...... it works. But I still got an error. The SD card errors but I'm guessing it's my SD card that causes the errors.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
You can try Odin of ucama4 (one of the official 4.1.2 releases) ... not sure that will revert the bootloader but it's worth a shot ... It was possible with the leak.

If sammobile firmware is not back up I have a mirror available here:

http://d-h.st/hB9

To confirm the bootloader version once you've reverted, open terminal emulator and type "getprop ro.bootloader" or download Device Info from jphilli85 on Play to see same info.

Other info in no particular order:

After flashing the Odin files you may need a factory reset and you'll need to reroot and reinstall custom recovery if desired. A format of system may be needed before starting the first Odin flash, just to clean things out. I recommend using version 3.07 of Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jkpdon:
Just download update file and reboot to recovery following below step. u dont require root or custom recovery install..

1. power off

2. vol up + home then press power

3. once u see device turn on let go all the button

4. device in recovery now select apply update from external device and choose sd card and update location

5. wait like 7 min

6.reboot it self

7. see white att logo

8. see white att logo for lil more

9. be patience until u see att ready2go screen

10.. Done..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcamacho228:
I've noticed that a lot of apps can't download/install. I keep getting this: "Error: Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card." Anyone know how to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Downgrade will not work...

And even if it did....DeLaVega root is currently patched by Sammy and will trip knox anyway...

I don't want to be a dark cloud...but we are royally hosed ATM...

I got pissed Friday and bought a new note 2 (ATT) in the box from Amazon...even though I have a brand new 3 day old note 2 with an 0x1 messed up bootloader...

(Year old stock) and it will come without knox....and I'm not upgrading the damn thing....EVER !!

It should get a fine price when I sell it in the spring and move away from Sammy and ATT altogether....(knox free phones are valuable)..

It's not a money issue for me...it's the principal of the thing....

Those Corporate pukes really went to far this time, and I wont play any more....g

I got the Kindle fire first gen days after it came out. That to had a locked bootloader, for like 2 weeks. Just give the devs time (it's the holidays and I don't think this stuff takes priority over family, food and presents) and knox will just be another small bump in the road.

Did you thank your Developer today?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindmajick:
Don't be so sure. I have a kindle fire 2nd generation and the bootloader will be forever locked. We have a 2nd bootloader that allows custom ROMs but no tattletale Knox like Samsung.

Ive been in and out of hospitals for the past 6 months and hadnt been able to keep up with things so jon maybe you can answer a few questions for me to help me make up my mind as to whether im flashing this or not...

1. What the heck is knox?

2. If I flash this can it be rooted? If so how? CF auto root?

3. Can I flash Twrp after o root?

4. What does a locked bootloader prevent me from doing?

5. And lastly if I dont like this version can I restore my twrp backup???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProFresh4:
Knox app itself was disabled by carrier but security stuff is still there in all apps under settings.

As far as rooting I have yet to find a safe way without tripping Knox counter.

But a flashabled zip was supposedly posted here somewhere.

I took the official update plung and kind of skeptical about trying to revert back to 4.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindmajick:
1. What the heck is knox?

Knox is a corporate security feature. It mostly applies to us by having a "Knox flag" that gets set if you flash custom roms or root the device. Kills warranty.

2. If I flash this can it be rooted? If so how? CF auto root?

Yes and yes.. But see above

3. Can I flash Twrp after o root?

Yes

4. What does a locked bootloader prevent me from doing?

Nothing really but I recommend using the 4.3 leak if you want "official" 4.3. Then the boot loader can be downgraded and you can use triangle away as usual. I'm also not 100% on this.. I'm afraid of the official still.

5. And lastly if I dont like this version can I restore my twrp backup???

Edit: you CANNOT restore backups!

Once this hits sammobile (hasn't yet, which is odd) someone can create a fishable zip without the bootloader crap.

Also- if you want 4.3 I recommend Jedi master x for now.

You won't be able to flash either if them without a desktop though. Mobile Odin doesn't work right for this :(

I'm with you though.. My main concern is not bricking. And since I don't have PERSONAL experience with the official is why I don't recommend it lol. There have been so many conflicting reports I don't know what to think yet.

I think the reason mobile odin wouldnt work is because it wouldnt touch the bootloader... which may be a good thing for anyone flashing from 4.3 official.

Wipe EVERYTHING?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhonePhan:
Too add on to what he ^ said, simply flashing supersu and opening app kills Knox for you, it's honestly way more simple than freezing it or any other method. The app ask do you want to disable knox upon opening supersu.

Also for the guy comparing 4.3 ota to stock 4.1.2, obviously I dont have your phone to judge but I have alot of popular/common apps that im sure everyone uses. Everything by now is compatible with 4.3 and ota performs better and has more features (note 3 multi windows, updated spen apps, updated touchwiz etc) than 4.1.2. Ram usage is reduced a lot too, and overall smoothness. Battery is EPIC too compared to stock (image attatched)

What methods did you use to get update?

Did you come from a custom ROM?

Did you super clean 1st? (wipe everthing there is to wipe)

Not denying your experience of course, just hoping I can help you get a stable 4.3 update. Me for one, have a flawless update and love this way more than stock 4.1.2. and wish to have you experience this too. Please do report back
