Do you need to remove twrp to take OTA?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Yes you need to be on total stock to take the OTA. Once you take the update there is no going back however which means no custom recovery or custom ROMs

Can you remove twrp without a computer assisting? Or just using the phone
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
The most easy way to take the ota would be to Odin the stock image of the phone then accept the update
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
If youre going to take the ota you might as well just flash me7 through odin. Then you dont have to bother with removing recovery. Flash and go.

If you altered your phone in any way like removed bloat, then just removing twrp won't help. The ota will simply fail. I'd just flash back to stock with odin. I'm assuming that your on MDK and want to update to me7 via ota.
well main problem is i would love to use odin for update but when i plug into my usb it keep connecting and disconnecting the phone. i have the latest drivers i have no idea why its doing that. i have it set t MTP but does not show up.
How do you have it set to mtp, the phone has to be in download mode which there is no options to change. However if you have a problem with a usb port trying a different one will sometimes resolve it. If youre not using the stock cable that could be it as well.

Have you tried a different pc? Maybe your port on your phone is going bad

yikes phone isnt that old at all sadly. I really hope that isnt the case. only thing that happens is it charges, connects and disconnects over and over again. so far have had nothing but problems with this PoS.
Yeah that would definitely suck. Maybe try cleaning it as well as the cable but im sure you tried that already.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
well i think my drivers are just screwed up or something now. i used my old ass ancient laptop and its downloading and going thru the update process right now. so now im just trying to find ways to uninstall Samsung kies and falling into a hole because it will not uninstall it, and shows up without an icon in the "uninstall or change a program" menu.

I cut a ribbon cable trying to replace the screen in my girlfriends Dinc. Now the repairs cost more than I want to spend so i'm going to sell it as broken on Ebay.
Question is, is there a way to wipe everything/hard reset it without the display working? When I power it on it does that short vibrate so I know it's still working. Just can't see anything.

If you have rooted and adb configured, you can try: adb shell wipe data.
Never had it rooted

You could try flashing the stock rom (using RUU).

Unless I'm mistaken, all updates are done OTA. You should be OK.
Edit: in the off chance that it would need to be done another way, you could always pull the SD card out of the back and transfer whatever file directly to the phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
there is lots of ways to wirelessly transfer files. try kies air or just search play store
When I first purchased my note it had an OTA update right away, which should mean that following updates will also be OTA.
My Samsung Captivate did small updates OTA, but large os updates were downloaded via Kies. My guess is the feeding frenzy would overwhelm cell towers.

You believed us?
To be clear, on the Captivate you needed the USB because Kies on the PC figured out what phone model and did the downloading. The Captivate had no Kies Air, though.

Did you try selecting with the home button, please tell me you did
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I did and it won't let me go into download mode
Can you force download mode by plugging in while holding sound up and dowb and power buttons or is it just sound up and down?
Edit-
On the i9100 thread you already asked in.

Grab a pit file for your i777 and push it with odin. Then your partition will be recovered.

I saw you asked if it worked for i777 if its not in this section don't try to flash it to this phone. There the same phone but its not exactly the same so that's why we have ports from the i9100 from the first 5-6 pages I read they are hardly able to get things fully working and a list of broken items like wifi camera ect.

I was just gonna say, when they get into Download mode and check that flash counter, or see that yellow triangle, that replacement is gonna cost you full price.. And you can bet they'll automatically tack it on to your next bill.

I'd like to let him sit and squirm thinking he'll get it full price and someone will get grounded but if it didn't flash would it count?

You're mean
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine if it didn't flash, the counter won't trigger and he'll be OK. That's why I asked about the recovery - if it's still stock the flash probably didn't take. If it is a custom recovery, it probably means that the flash took and borked his phone...that would be the case where I would think he could expect a hefty phone bill when they catch on...
Well they would charge him for shipping the new phone checking the old phone, won't be pretty lol. This is what you get for just diving into flashing formware , I read the topic he flashed from and I knew it wasn't good for our phone yet it wasn't ported to i777 so there's no way I'd flash that.

Lol no i reset the counter before i bricked and it is stock i9100 recovery so they look the same but the button configuration is different

Your phone was totally recoverable. In my view, you should have taken responsibility for your actions, and stayed with the issue till you fixed it.
It's a shame, and just plain wrong, when people abuse the warranty to get a new phone for free when the problem was due to their own actions. It's like stealing. From my time in the forum, however, it seems to be rather common behavior. I even see a post from time to time where one person advises another to do this.
At least AT&T/Samsung wind up with a phone which can be repaired and resold.
And now, since you sent them an I777 which boots to stock I9100 recovery, you will have a month or two of existential anxiety while you wait to see if they charge you full price for the phone, as written in their warranty.

Oh goodie! You messed up your phone and got AT&T to fix it by giving you a new phone, the cost of which they can easily pass on to their other users.:good:
If u screw up yer phone, and u don't want to bother with trying to get "technical" and figure it out, there is a good chance this cycle will repeat itself. I would suggest taking a few days and just pouring over all information available here on how to do things and getting things properly understood before u go about flashing again.

Hi!
I have the samsung galaxy note i717, a few days ago the phone shutted down by itself while i wasn't ussing it, it read online that it was too much apps. i did the soft and hard reset and i had the same issue, so i read the next step was a factory reset. so i did it, and wipe the cache. after that, the phone started to reboot/restart by itself while i wasn't using it or wasn't charging... i did the factory reset, reboot it and even reinstalled it the firmware again on kias, but, the problem keep happening. today i left it charging for a long time and the phone won't turn on, it doesn't even show the battery logo, no download mode, no safe mode, no reset mode... and i think it is hard bricked. i read about jtag, changing the motherboard, or use a jig... i want to know what u guys think about this... i bought it on ebay and i would have to return the phone otherwise, so i'm trying to fix it by myself...

JTAG is for a phone with the rom from another phone flashed to it. You can't enter recovery and Odin doesn't recognize it. It is the only way to bypass the boot and flash the correct rom.
Jig is for phones that won't go into recovery by software or buttons.
I think you have a battery issue. Trade with someone, then you will probably need the jig ($3.00 from ebay) to get into recovery.
well guys thanks a lot! but, i took it somewhere and the dude changed the battery nothing hapened and he told me i should just return it and i did. i loved that cellphone!

Whoa there, calm down. Some people have this issue after running casual. I don't, but Droidstyle's guide has jrloper's video linked and I had remembered seeing it a while back. So check this out, it will guide you through how to remove casual drivers.

Yes, Casual installs drivers that have given some people problems connecting the phone to pc after unlocking. That video guide shows you how to remove them so you can connect again
It actually was kies that was installed on my laptop...go figure.
Anyways phone is reset back to stock and the text issue has not been a problem. Nock on wood.
Thank you very much though for your help!!!!
