How do I manually update my Note 4? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have gotten a notification that update n910pvps4dqa1 is ready to install. My problem is that my Note 4 has the issue that some others have (mmc error) and cannot restart my phone without removing battery for 5 minutes. The phones NEEDS to actually restart in order to install the update. Is there a way to get the update off of my phone and use ODIN or something to get this updated?

Download the firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Untick auto reboot in options tab.
Reporting Via N910G.

I'll do that as soon as they have it.

Looks like it might be awhile. I looked up firmware for my model phone but it says the carrier is Spint, not Sprint.

JI6 Came to my Vibrant & Went Away

So i got an icon on my notifications bar that said "DM" Device Management, and i know that meant that my update was being downloaded OTA. After about 1 minute, it went away. I already installed the JI6 manually through ODIN. So could that just mean that it was recognized that i already had the update, or did it "fail" because i had a manually installed ROM? Thanks for the help.....This is my first post by the way. I love XDA.
My GF just got her update notification today and it nearly bricked her phone. Mine is already updated through odin, so i figured i just let her phone update through ota. Well, the update failed on her and it caused her phone to get stuck on the Vibrant screen. This happened while we were out, but the good news is that the ota update fix the hardware lock. I used odin and flashed the update again and all is well. For the ones that knows how to use odin, I would highly recommend updating it yourself through odin.

OTA and Kies Update failing?

hey there
for some reason i can't update to ME2 via Kies nor OTA.
got a i9505.
rooted it with cf-autoroot.
then used TriangleAway to get back to "offical" and Kies and OTA are buyin' it.
It downloads the updated but when its starts to install i get erros.
via OTA i just get a "dead" android figure and the word "error" and the s4 reboots
via Kies i get something like a timeout message after my phone booted into download mode, telling me it couldnt find my phone and i should pull the battery. i just hold down the powerbutton to reboot.
i changed everything back to stock undid the changes i made to the csc file and everything
any hints? :-/ i know i can flash it with odin aswell but i dont wanna lose my data and settings. maybe if i got some more time i will but for now i'd like to update via OTA or kies.
thanks so far

Update Error

Hi guys! I hope someone could help me. I just bought a Galaxy Note 3 (international version) yesterday. The phone's fine. It's just that I am unable to update. I am able to download it but when my phone reboots it shows a dead android with a red triangle on its chest. I read flashing the firmware via odin can fix it but problem is our internet is hella slow. I couldn't even complete downloading my brother's Note 2 firmware. Any way I can make it install the firmware successfully? By the way it's OTA. I am able to download the update, just won't let me finish installing it. Goes around 35% then the android on the black screen dies with a red triangle on its chest.
EDIT:
I have official firmware, never rooted, just got it yesterday. Still factory new.
version 4.3, build # JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7, baseband version N9005XXUBMI5, Kernel version 3.4.0-1626679
Have you tried reseting your phone go into recovery mode factory reset

Was your phone brand new? And did you check your KNOX status? -- reason I ask, after you've rooted a phone you are unable to recieve OTA updates, unless you use Wanam to fake system status, then you can download the OTA update but it stalls on the install about 35% or so in..
Best advice, is grab the stock image from sammobile (ballache to download I know) then use ODIN to flash her back to original state.

i didn't root the phone when i got it. it's fresh and on official firmware. have no idea about KNOX, that's new to me. if it helps, my device status says "official"
unfortunately the internet in my area is very slow, i couldn't download firmwares from sammobile. i tried several times

Ah Ok, if it says Official it should be good to go. Seems like maybe the download has gotten corrupt due to an intermittent internet connection.

OK, then maybe you should learn a few things before trying to update - Knox is a security system in latest Samsung phones that is supposed to be triggered/set when you root (or install any custom kernel/recovery). Your initial (old) firmware could still let you root without triggering the Knox flag, and then you can update to the latest firmware for your region using Mobile Odin Pro and still keep your root AND without triggering the Knox flag. However once you update using Samsung OTA / Odin / Kies to a firmware more recent than MJ3 you can no longer root without also triggering your Knox warrany flag - read more about this in the Universal Root De La Vega thread!
i gave up after several tries, since i'm on 4.3 i think that would do for now. maybe it's just downloading a stability update or something? everytime i do an OTA update, it tells me that the download of the new firmware is complete then reboot. when i get to 32% the droid falls flat on its back and shows the red triangle on its chest, over and over. i don't lose my phone data or anything. just won't update. i'll wait for 4.4 Kitkat instead. hope i'll be able to update to that when it comes out.
EDIT: i tried going into recovery mode, wiping cache, and factory reset.. still no dice. maybe Odin's the only way i guess. problem is my internet connection lol
@cptnappy - i also have the same problem...got my note3 n9005 a week ago and I also have the same problem as you....error at 30+%

Unable to flash stock firmware

Hello, my SM-G935A is rooted, and I have 2 issues with it. Firstly, I'm unable to receive texts or phone calls (I can send them), and I've tried a factory reset and I even got a new SIM, but nothing worked. I think if I flash stock firmware, it might fix the issue. Second problem, when I go into download mode and select my AP in Odin and press start, my phone gets an error and Odin freezes at Initialization.
Any help would be appreciated. I would prefer to fix the texting issue, as I don't want to return the phone to ATT. In either case, the Odin issue needs to be fixed
I'm having a similar issue. This afternoon, 2 apps threw errors and closed. I rebooted, which apparently was the wrong thing to do. The reboot stalled on the AT&T logo and stayed that way for 5 min - the unit became very hot & the power button did not respond, even while holding it down. I got into recovery, cleared the cache and factory reset, then rebooted. The unit came back up and started reinstalling everything. I took it back down into the download status and attempted to reload 935x via Odin, only to stall at "initialzation" [sic] as you did. I got out of that after waiting for some sort of response. SuperSU was still in my apps as was Root Checker. Root Checker indicates the system is rooted. SuperSU indicates it needs the binary updated. BusyBox and TiBu indicate they cannot find root. I deleted all the root apps and tried reinstalling root via adb which completed successfully, but the same outcome with all the root apps. So I'm not sure if I'm still really rooted as Root Checker claims, or not.
EDIT: I just saw that I have 2 "Knox Settings" apps. Clicking on either returns, "Unfortunately, Container Agent2 has stopped."
use the odin from the stock firmware thread to flash it again. if it fails you can flash the u firmware and then the stock again. then you have to use a different odin if you want to flash the root api file the one you flash the firmware with wont work. also there is help in one of the threads about fixing the volte problem so you dont have to turn it off to get calls. i didnt have to do it as using the odin i mentioned fixed it for me when i came from the u firmware.

I was having the exact same problem you had with Odin. It seemed I was able to flash stock firmware using this version of Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/download/2t2sjqxtogbkafk/odin_3.12.3.rar

did you have any problems with the u version of the s7 edge firmware, like the fingerprint scanner not responding? i am on that version and cant get any odin version or any version of s7 edge g935a firmware to flash, tried unrooting and was forced to use the U version of the s7 edge firmware, everything works except the fingerprint scanner, cant get back to full stock firmware, need help!
im having the exact same problem, when i put my phone into download mode and flash the stock at&t firmware, Odin get stuck in "initialization" and my phone screen displays and error message.
Same stuff was happening to me, I went back to stock and took the update. When your phone stops working as an actual phone, it's time to roll it back.
I played with it for a week and my phone was so freaking hot (with hot weather) equals a wait and see if this gets more stable in the near future. I did use the Odin 3.12.3 mentioned by King James III. Honestly, I did so many things to get it back to stock I forget what actually worked (it was the wee hours of the morning and I was spent). Don't give up guys, it will and can work.
edit: It may be as simple as not right clicking Odin and running it as Administrator.

I used Odin_v3.12.3_Patched_SHA256 to flash the 935U Firmware then used Odin3_v3.11.2 to flash the June Firmware release.

No voicemail notifications S10+ no root

Just got the S10+ yesterday. No root and no plan to root at present (it's my husbands phone and he's weird lol)
His voicemail isn't giving him a notification. Nothing on the icon on the home screen and nothing when I open the app. I've cleared cache and data, app is up to date, rebooted phone, searched sprint and searched XDA and can't find an answer.
Anyone have any ideas what I need to do?
Have you tried updating the phone via the OTA updates? You might need to do a factory data reset or flash the latest stock firmware with Odin if all else fails.

I'll double check to see if an OTA was done or not. I was thinking my next step would be to do a factory reset. Weird thing is my note 10+ doesn't have VM either. It's not activated yet so I didn't know if that could be why.
I also tried to download the app from the play store (on my husbands phone) and it would get to downloading 2%, say it was installing then give an error of "this application cannot be installed"
Sounds like you need a factory reset and if that fails reflash the firmware with Odin. I have voicemail on my S10+ here running the AT&T firmware. Some firmware like Version or others might have visual voicemail. I have the icon for it on my phone, but never use it.
