Updated Instructions

SECTION 3: OTA to 4.3

Almost there !!

Now it’s time to get to i317UCUBMK6.

There are two options:

1. Continue on to 4.4.2 Over The Air (OTA) update

OTA now goes to Kit Kat 4.4.2

2. Flash a 4.3 stock root ROM I have not attempted any other 4.3 ROM from the AT&T Galaxy Note II Android Development Forum. That does not mean it will not work. Do so at you own risk.

Plug into a RELIABLE usb port and a RELIABLE usb cable (preferably the white Samsung cable) and wait for it to show up in Odin (COM5 or something like that)

- Click the PDA slot in Odin and locate the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar that you downloaded.

The filename that goes into the PDA Slot is openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar

MAKE SURE IN THE OPTION AREA ONLY AUTO REBOOT AND F.RESET TIME ARE CHECKED!!!

Download AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock CWM Note 2

Download link http://d-h.st/Pnd

Save the file to a location that you can easily find. After the download is complete you will need to copy it to your phones SDCARD or External SDCARD.

After copying i317-cwm-ucubmk6-rooted-deodex.zip to your phone. Power off phone.

Wait a minute and turn it back on. To boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) while it is powering on. Do this quickly after turning phone on.

You will boot into the TWRP Interface

The interface of TWRP comprises of large buttons that make it easy to spot the feature you require at a quick glance and select it with a quick tap. You’ll also find soft buttons for Home and Back here, along with one for the log view that shows progress of all the operations you’ve performed in recovery.

Install Button

As the name suggests, the Install option lets you install any recovery-flashable zip file to your device. This can be a ROM, a kernel, a mod, a theme, a system app – pretty much anything that’s available in the recovery-flashable zip file format.

Upon hitting Install, you’re presented with the files and folders on your phone’s storage, from which you can select the file you want to flash. Find the file i317-cwm-ucubmk6-rooted-deodex.zip With the file selected, you can swipe the slider to confirm and start flashing the selected file.

After install completes, press the Back Button. (Looks like a U-turn arrow)

You should be back to main screen. Press Reboot.

Press System button on Reboot Menu.

---- > You will reboot into the AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Deodexed* Stock Note 2 ROM created by Zen Arcade,

And there you have it.

NOTE: I have done this multiple times, so many I've lost count. My Knox is tripped. The last test (today) I did not use Triangle Away. So my flash count was at 5.

This method works. You may want to start from scratch.
