Dear friend ota will not work if you root your phone. Unroot your first then try ota. If you still encounter problems. Do you a full flash of your rom either via kies or odin

Hi,can u tell me full steps how 2 unroot it(galaxy grand 2) as i am new 2 android

If you have backup of the stock unrooted rom provided by the manufacturer. Just do a restore via recovery. If not download the stock firware (unrooted original version) and flash it via kies. Your Samsung will be back to normal factory mode with unrooted. Rooting the phone will lead loss of warranty too dude. Hope you know this.
Thanks will be appreciated.

Hello,
something went wrong, the update is interrupted, now trying again ..
Odin returns a message:There is no PIT partition.
If someone is doing a backup, I`d be grateful for .PIT file
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I found a solution for my problem on: nikatel.ir/galaxy-grand-2-g7102 (use google translator, helped me to follow the instructions).
Now everything is ok,
Ankit991 you try, it is also the solution to your question about unrooting.
best regards

[Q] Firmware update failed, Wi-Fi and sound doesn't work (GT-I9505)

Hello,
First I must say, that I'm not English native speaker, so sorry for any language mistakes.
I have a pretty serious problem with my Galaxy S4 LTE I9505. I downloaded the latest official ROM for my model (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_XEO) from SamMobile and I wanted to flash it via Odin 3.07 (previously I had CyanogenMod 10.2). But during the flashing process Odin give me "FAIL".
After that my phone was showing downloading screen with this information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Sansung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
SW. REV: CHECK FAIL: fused: 2, Binary: 1
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

Of course I was trying Emergency Recovery option in Kies, but it was failing all the time. I also was trying to flash it again, but Odin again shows me "FAIL" during the process. So I choose re-partition with PIT file and stock, branded ROM (I9505XXUAMDE_I9505PLSAMD8_I9505XXUAMDE_HOME). And it works, now I can boot my phone and original recovery without any problems, but unfortunatly I can't enable Wi-Fi module and any function that needs sounds just don't work (phone calling, system sounds, notifications etc.). Kies don't want to update my OS from stock, branded version to newest one (error while updating device). I also tried this on different PC, but it's always showing "FAIL" in Odin.
What should I do to get back to stock firmware? Right now I can only send text messanges and use internet via carrier data plan...

re flash your original updated firmware. let it boot up and then do a factory reset vol up-power and home. hope this helps
You can install the any stock rom that ends on H8
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
You will not have root access anymore and are stucked with unremovable annoying system apps...
But thats the price to pay to have your phone back. I was phoneless for 3 days because of this. I'm happy to be still alive, but also wondering if live without root is worth it..

hi can you tell me how you did it. and is it all official?
On samobile, I took the UK kernel (ending on H8) and downloaded both the firmware and kernel. I used odin and flashed both (PDA). Then I did a factory reset and everything was up and running again

[Q] Need Help! Verizon Galaxy Note 3 stuck in odin mode

I was trying to root my note 3 but ended up getting it stuck in odin mode with it saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use software repair assistant & try again
All you should have to do is flash a stock firmware from odin look in the android development section there are link to them in there

And in order to do that you'll probably have to pull the battery to reset it. Be prepared with the right buttons for booting into Download after the reset.

Kies 3 restore doesn't work.... It's incompatible with the new bootloaders... Wish people would stop giving oout this USELESS information...
If you were on any of the N**(NB4) roms ie Kitkat, you can't go back to the older jellybean roms ie m**(MJ7).
You will have this problem. Just reflash a kitkat rom onto your Note 3 and you'll be fine...

Actually, as he has installed MJ7 on his phone Kies no longer works... My "opinion" is fact...
If you can't stand being corrected because you're wrong then mate, you have a problem... Maybe you should start to read the thread before replying with pointless and useless information....

Or is there any way update my phone without changing rom..
Download your region rom from sammobile.com. Install "mobile odin pro" in your smartphone. Copy extracted rom tar file to your phone internal storage. Flash it with installed MOD Pro and you will have updated 4.4.2 rom with root privileges.
I had problems with CSC and force closing keyboard after update. But later solved it by flashing again just "cache" with MOD Pro.

I should be save the thread is trusted. Don't forget you can't downgrade so if you're on 4.4.2 you can't go back to 4.3 or lower
