This is a repost from the 4.4 discussion thread, I decided it would be more appropriate to ask here.
I still can't update. I've tried 4 times now (each time I have to re-download the update, it's super annoying). Each time I've tried, it fails at 27% and it just says error. After the reboot, it will say can't install update, please update using a computer (kies) or go to the nearest samsung center.
I really don't want to have to factory reset. I've tried clearing cache and making it as factory settings as possible, but still nothing. I'm completely stock, not rooted with official device status... What the hell samsung? Also, I downloaded the latest kies and it says my firmware is up to date, so that's not gonna work.
Any advice? Thanks!

Assuming you are attempting to d/l the update via WiFi, correct?
Something else to try is clearing data for (I believe) Google Framework and re-attempting the update. This worked on my son's S3.

Actually, I did at one point I was rooted, but I unrooted and factory reset. My device says official, but it's probably not good enough for an ota update to pass. I plan on flashing mj4 later using Odin and factory resetting to get completely stock.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
That would be wise. Simply unrooting by itself doesn't take you to bone stock IF the reason you rooted in the first place was to, say, debloat or otherwise hack some functionality onto this bad boy.

Hey guys. I just got my brand new galaxy s2 and I'm loving it. But as of right now the latest software update is 2.3.6. Now I'm on 2.3.4 and I checked for a software update and it says I'm on the latest software.

You're not blind...
My understanding is that AT&T is rolling it out to in waves. Eventually you'll see the update. They just can't, and don't want to, put it out to every [email protected] at the same time.
From what I've read, if you're planning to root your phone, it's much easier and better supported to do it from an earlier version.

AT&T does this in case the update has a problem that missed their QA process.
I'm fairly certain they are rolling out the update fairly slowly - there were even rumors that it might have been pulled for a while. People getting the OTA have had a LOT of complaints.

The reason you see so many 2.3.6 based ROMs in development is because a few developers took a gamble - they guessed that the UCKK6 leak might be a final release that could go official, and they were right. We had access to a full UCKK6 2-3 weeks before anyone received an OTA.
Note that many of those ROMs are appearing to have a few issues:
1) Weird wifi compatibility issues not present in UCKH7
2) Bluetooth HID is broken - no mouse/keyboard pairing

Thanks bro. I appreciate that. Now I'm about to root using either super one click or the zedomax way and I just wanted to confirm this with you. When the Att update comes I just use your guide to flash your kernel that comes with stock recovery right? Then I'm done right and I can just apply the ota update regularly right? Thanks again

If you root using either Super One Click, or Doomlords version of the zergrush exploit, you will still retain the stock kernel and be able to get the update without additional changes. If you update while rooted, you will retain root on UCKK6.
I'm not sure, but if you use the zedomax kernel to root, you may lose device manager and therefore not be able to check for the update.

Am I supposed to take the battery out or something. It says do not turn off so I'm a bit confused.
You should not interrupt download mode during a flash, of course, because bad things will happen. However, if the flash is finished, or if you put the phone into download mode without starting a flash, just hold down the power button until the download screen goes away, and the boot screen appears. You can also just pull the battery.

I don't know what would be causing the problem. Some posters indicated that you need to have all the bloatware on the phone, as well as the stock kernel, but I don't know if that is true or not.
I know that when I tested it, I started out on UnNamed. I Used the Odin One-click downloader to put UCKH7 stock plus root, and then updated succesfully. The first time I did it, I forgot to do a data wipe, so after I pulled the files I was getting, I did a data wipe, installed the UCKH7 stock plus root and updated again. The update worked flawlessly on both occasions, retaining root.
So the only thing I can suggest is do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery, install the Return/Unbrick to stock UCKH7 plus root package, and then update. I would think that would clear anything out that would prevent the update.

Is there a way to unroot the GS4 MJ7 if I've rooted it with the Vroot method in the General forum?
My wife's GS4 has lost core functionality ever since the 4.3 OTA push from Samsung. She couldn't even open the dialer up and place a call, it simply crashes.
I decided to root her phone for her with the Vroot method, after doing a factory reset. (The Verizon rep in store said the 4.3 software was conflicting with the 4.2.2 and that a factory reset would be necessary.)
Alas that neither rooting nor the factory reset fixed the dialer issue. She still can't dial a call. Obviously at this point I need to take it into Verizon and have them give her a new phone. Pretty unacceptable that an OTA before even being rooted caused this issue for her.
So, is there an image I can put on for MJ7 with Odin?
Check this thread for a complete device wipe/repartition and emergency recovery image you can flash with Odin. I would bet that this may solve your problem. You will obviously lose all your data, so take the necessary precautions. Good luck.

The verizon software works great. Just to let people know, after its done the phone will reboot. It will show 'custom' when it reboots. Once its finished booting up, turn off your phone and then turn it on again. The 'custom' text and icon will be gone.

Are you running a fully stock ROM? If so, the drive should show up when you plug in your phone. At least that's the case with mine.
I just tried it on my MJ7 phone - the drive shows up for a minute or so then disappears. Disabling USB debugging doesn't seem to change that.
Sounds like Kies may be your only choice.

A drive does show up -- but there is not Agent on it.

No big deal. There is a .99 app and if I've got ten minutes Kies or Odin will do it I suspect.
Sorry to bring up an older thread, but I'm having a peculiar issue that has to do with this thread.
I'm trying to upgrade to MK2 on my VZW S4 (which is currently rooted via VROOT on MJ7), but I keep reading that I need to unroot my phone before taking the upgrade and rooting again. Well, that's all fine and dandy, especially when I ran across this thread saying I could simply use the Verizon Recovery Agent. The only problem is, When I follow the instructions to get to the recovery agent, I instead get a "VZW Upgrade Assistant".
Is there a way to bypass the upgrade assistant to get to the recovery agent?
Is it actually necessary to unroot prior to taking the upgrade? Can I do a system recovery from the phone itself and then do the upgrade?
Thanks!

When I plug in my (MK2) phone, I get a drive offering the Upgrade Assistant. I assume that's what it's currently called.
so here is the deal go throught with the software assistant and it istall it after it is installed then it will give u 2 options to upgrade assistant and software repair assistant use that one one of my recommendations is to use back of pc usb ports it kept freezing at 66 percent and that seemed to have solved it good luck i am at 73 percent and moving...
I used an app suggestion from the guy that wants to get paid for everything to install TWRP on my ATT i527. It installed just fine and ROM Manger shows TWRP as being my recovery system. Only problem is, ATT blocks the recovery and now I can't get to stock recovery.

AFAIK factory reset won't bring back the stock recovery.
Download your device's Rom, flash it, and you'll have your stock recovery back.

Yeah az, I had second thoughts about doing the factory reset. I will just keep the TWRP until someone breaks out the bootloader.
The only reason I wanted the stock recovery was to see what this update is all about. The update d/l'ed fine and was going to install but it need stock recovery....I keep hitting the "unauthorized software has been detected... .turn off your phone and take to nearest store". I don't think being rooted has anything to do with it.
I think that sooner or later our phone will be figured out. But I have to tell you. With being rooted and being able to get rid of some bloatware, and with Nova Launcher, I'm really happy with this big assed phone! Sure, I miss some of the customization, but I hated PA and some of the other overloaded roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using xda app-developers app
Maybe you could find stock recovery to reflashing it back... I'm not sure though if stock recovery from i.e. I9205 ROM couldn't brick your phone...
Dparrothead1 I received the update message yesterday but clicked out of it in error. I don't know what its for either. Suppose I'll google it in a few. I tried updating from settings and get an error saying update was interrupted.

You have to go to back to full stock mk2 to be able to update. If you want to keep root you can use the guide in the general section on how to keep root and update. The guide works for the leaked KitKat build we got, nc2, but I'm not sure if it works for the official nc5 update, you can check the thread for that.

Since you're not on the Verizon network, you won't be offered the update via OTA. I'd wait until someone grabs the NC5 update
Since you're factory stock, you could install the OTA by downloading it to your internal SD card as an update.zip and booting into stock recovery to install it.
Note that you can't "play around" with it. You'll have NC5, no root, and very likely no way to go back.

The update comes from VZ over their network. If you're not on their network, the update servers aren't reachable.
Oh - another thing you can try is to use Kies to check for updates. I don't think that VZ has made the update available there yet, so have patience.

The update comes from VZ over their network. If you're not on their network, the update servers aren't reachable.

Thanks for the help! I will check out Kies too. I have nothing but time on my hands so patience comes easy.

I have a note 2 that I kept stock for a long time. And decided to root it about a week ago. I used the latest casual one click root. And it seemed all dandy initially until i went between a few different roms and it decided it wanted to shut off randomly and not boot back up past the note 2 screen on its own. But the odd part was it booted while connected to the wall or to the computer. So I flashed to 4.1.2 stock via odin and the issue still remains. I can only use it fine on charger. Is there something else im missing on flashing back to stock?

Hmm when you installed 4.3 did you do so wiping everything could be an app causing the problem. Try it from brand new with no apps installed and see if that helps. Could be also a radio issue as well.

Yeah I wiped everything. Actually used odin twice to revert to stock 4.1.2. I tried a few cm nightlies before it began. Is there anything else I should flash on top of whats already been done?

I've found that even after using ODIN to go back to stock 4.1.2, that there's still leftover data on the phone from custom ROM's. I've read where others had the same issue. I don't know why Odin doesn't seem to fully wipe everything ... but this has been my personal experience.
The way I've fixed this (and all this may not be necessary).. . is that after Odin'ing back to stock 4.1.2, I boot into stock recovery, then do a full factory reset and wipe cache. Then I booted into the stock Rom and used the bypass setup trick (touch the left side of the screen right above Emergency... then right side, then left, then right again, and then volume up... this should bypass setup to save time).
Then went into phone's settings and performed a factory reset from within the stock Rom too...
Finally... (because I'm a bit OCD... so this is probably not necessary), but I ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 one more time and then proceeded with using CASUAL again to root /unlock the bootloader).
I know this is a pain in the butt... but this has worked for me. Maybe others will have some better suggestions.
(Edit : Forgot to mention that if you're not wanting to return to stock to start over again... check out this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921) on how to flash a stock recovery for the purposes of doing a proper data wipe... then can you odin your custom recovery back to the device without having to fully restore to stock... this can be a real time saver. Please make sure to thank the OP for the helpful info).
So in the end I tried to reset from stock recovery and wipe cache. Than do a reset from the settings and the issue presisted. But now I have root and recovery as well. So I may give a rom a try.

This is totally a guess, but I'm thinking that you may have a battery problem... and it's just a coincidence that these problems started happening around the same time that you rooted. You may try replacing the battery to see if that fixes things.... (you can get one pretty cheap off ebay or Amazon).
Yeah thats odd. I had bought another battery from a phone store I use to work at and have no issues now, back on 4.1.1 rooted.

Cool. Hopefully you'll have no more problems with it for a while.
