When your device has a custom status you will never get the update download a pre rooted stock rom from the development section and flash it.

There are 29 csc codes in it so I guess you will be fine with that

Boot your device into download mode. If your phone status is official you will be able to get OTA Updates.
I've installed the first firmware from the post. (pre rooted)

OTA or Sammobile? I can't see the OTA. Is it because I'm rooted?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Yes i too wanna know if ota has been made available or not.
There is an official 4.1.1 firmware release for India with the suffix of CLL5. Can get from Samsung download site HERE
The release of 4.1.1 is at a global scale ...
Just flashed the latest update via ODIN. OTA and kies refused to show the update.
I'd get any firmware file from sammobile. They are more trustworthy.
Besides that site doesn't even have the file.

Installed the same through ODIN flash yesterday. Had to take a back-up of data before restoring it.:good:
The fonts look really odd. Anyone notice they aren't as clear any more
Sent from my GT-P3100 using Tapatalk 2
I have a rooted P3100. I was able to install the OTA directly on the tab, and retain root as I could use Titanium Backup etc afterwards. YMMV of course.
I got an error message at the end saying that OTA did not succeed etc but that was irrelevant and probably just some ROM check from Samsung.
The tablet felt a bit slow during the first few minutes of use but is working more smoothly now. I don't like the new launcher much, somehow the stock 4.0.4 felt nice even after I had tried some of the other launchers. Hopefully it will feel better after I get used to it.

No you don't need to flash previous firmware if you are flashing full Rom.
You need to flash required firmware if you are installing ota update.

Hello,
Anyone having Wifi issues after the OTA update like me?
My Wifi on Tab2 became unstable
Keeps popping that "Connected to Wifi Network" Message, though Signal strength is very strong, Just few feet away from router.
Also does anyone know how i can i get the Lock Screen rotated to Landscape mode with the PIN lock.
Mine just stuck in Portrait Mode.
So far TouchWiz home crashed atleast once,
slower performance than 4.0.4
current JBA 4.1.1 sucks so far, for my Tab2

[Q] Which galaxy s4 i9505 ROM to chose.

Hello, im trying to reset my phone to stock, and while searching for stock rom it shows AT&T, Verizon versions etc... and nothing else. Where can i find stock rom for international i9505 which isn't bound to specific carrier.
P.S
I was trying to find it in samfirmware website, but there were only country/carrier specific verisons.
There are unbranded firmwares in samfirmware

You can only use that if you are running a stock ROM in the first place. Any type of modification to your device and kies will not recognise your phone. You need no binary count, stock recovery and stock ROM. Basically how was when you first took it out of the box. If you do install latest firmware you may well end up with the new bootloader and the e fuse security enhancement.

don't worry it will surely reach to u
even my frnd has not got it yet
i was stunned bcoz after so big wait i was frustrated and was going to root and flash cm11 and it showed up and started downloading
It's downloading right now through Kies, its about midway. Will report back how it goes.
Also, please use the 4.3 discussion thread and Indian S3 Owners thread. No need to make another thread!
EDIT: Flashed, works fine. Although it's taking a huge amount of internal storage, I think I'll do a factory reset.

Official 4.1.2 Build

Hi
I have been using Nightly 4.2.2 for a while now but seeing as 4.3 official is on its way I would like to flash back to 4.1.2 so I can OTA it.
This is going to work right?
Anyway I have been trying to find a GBR in this link, although when I bought TAB it would factory reset to Germany and I would simply change the language on setup....
Is there a GBR or do I need to go with a GER one, cant see either in this link
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8000&details=Galaxy_Note_10_1__3G_plus_WiFi
Appreciate your help
Thanks

You can flash a stock firmware and receive OTA updates normally.
To download the corrent firmware check this out - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/

Flashed with a united kingdom download and now it is in perm loop on boot
This was originally a Germany version although why should that matter it's still the same device?
Please help

Make sure the model is the same.
No matter the firmware, if the model is the same the firmware should work.
Try to reflash again.

My apologies, I assumed 4.3 due to note 2 already being given it, now know it is only 4.2 they will eventually give us...sorry for my mis quote
reg tab...reset tab in recovery mode, then came back on no issues...

Device is modified?

My note 3 is running the belgian 4.4.2 I downloaded from Sam mobile and flashed with odin, though the phone says it is a custom rom and when I click check for updates it also says phone is modified.
Anyone know what the problem is here and how I can restore ota updates?
The phone was rooted when i was on 4.3 but I have flashed first the Polish and then the Belgian 4.4s via odin

You can't go back to JB from KK... You may as well have said to connect to Kies and let that fix it...
To the Op, check if your Knox warranty void has been tripped, if it has you may as well root and install a custom rom and/or recovery, or at the very least xposed framework.
You can't reset theKnox but you can use a mod to trick the system into thinking its official which will allow OTA updates. You may need a couple of things to be active so the OTA will install but I'll let you look that up.

Used to read about a bug on samsung phones where if it contains too many files it would show system status as modified. Try transfer as much as your files from phone memory into sdcard then remove it. Then check again system status. It sounds crazy but i'm pretty sure that's my understanding from the thread

That's what I just did from the post above and it hasn't changed anything, I also reflashed the rom with odin and it's still the same...

Strange, when flashing back to complete stock everything goes back to official (bar knox of course) - did you try the xeo? It's possible if you've used another firmware (carrier or country) the device may not like it.
Also a complete wipe may help too.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well when I reflashed and it didn't work I did a factory reset and cleared the cache to no prevail.
What's the xeo mate?

Mine is the same. I went to stock because my official kit kat came out. VIA O2 germany.
Still says custom. Might root and try triangle away. Not sure if I want to re set all back up again today though
