Uhhh, you are about 1 week to late for this information. Thanks though.
I was rooted, no lagfix when I tried to update. It got to 100% then it said failed. My baseband says I897UCJH7. Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2.
Did the update work or not?
Flashman, how did your OTA update go? Any issues us rooted/unlocked folks should be worried about?
My instinct is to delay the update until I stop seeing posts about hot it F'd up people's phones.

If you rooted and removed anything from stock rom, you're pretty much guaranteed to fail on OTA update. In order to make the OTA download package as small as possible, Samsung uses a diff patch based on the bit differences between stock JF6 image and new JH7 image. So, if you touched the JF6 in any unauthorized way, the patch won't work.
Luckily, you can now use the newly released Kies Mini to do a full ROM update which should be more reliable as you have the entire ROM image downloaded to your desktop and then flash to your phone.

Quoted by Samsung "The program can report this message if it detects a software build other than the official launch software of JF6."
You need to FLASH STOCK JF6 using ODIN ONE CLICK, Follow this Guide:

If my settings say i'm at JH7, does that necessarily mean the OTA update was completely successful? It reached 100% then said failed.

What do you mean removed anything from stock rom? I rooted and removed a bunch of the bloatware and did an OTA update with no issues.
I failed along with most other rooted and flashed guys. Luckily I didn't brick my phone in the process. I will wait until some beret update comes along before trying anything ota again.
Sweet life
Nevermind, I guess it didn't update fully cause some of the implemented changes aren't there. I really didn't want to have to run a master clear and have to reinstall all my stuff.

Do you have TouchWiz as your default launcher? and make sure you're on your home screen when you connect your USB cable.
If that doesn't do it you need to get back to JF6 only way or another because Mini Kies will continue to tell you that you have an "unregistered" device until it is at JF6
The reason is because your update failed partially :/
are you guys talking about a new update or just JH7?
We're talking about JH7, some people are still having difficulties getting it on their phone as the OTA is still failing - and if you've failed the OTA you need to reflash to stock before mini kies will work.
when i did the update i was rooted an it didn't fail on install or bootup or anything.
but then again i'm just rooted and nothing else has been touched.

Exactly, I don't think root causes any issues. I was able to check for update on a rooted ROM.
It's when you have a custom kernel etc.

Not really. AT&T has said that the real update will be sent out via SMS text message link, not through the "update software" menu in android.
Engadget just had that yesterday.

It's the same thing.
Hello all. I checked and no one has posted this yet so here it is. I am 100% stock on 2.3.5. I installed it through KIES so I am sure it's full stock. And it's been quite a while and I am not receiving the 2.3.6 update OTA. I don't know why. Do I have to download something? I don't know. Please help me out and thanks very much!:laugh:
what did you install through kies ? do you mean Odin ? if so what tar file did you use ? did you use sammobile.com tar ? what ROM you were on previously ? did you wipe throughly before flashing stock?
Mine as well. I've received my Skyrocket already in 2.3.5 but somehow, I want to update it to 2.3.6 but whenever I check the Software update, is says that my current software is up to date. Any help please?

What happens is that samsung clntinues to pull the updates. It has beem the third time it happens. When i had my phone 100% stock i updated mine from 2.3.5
to 2.3.6 and I went online to a forum to see what had changed. Many people were complaining about it especially me. Believe me they took away stuff rather then fixing it, for example wallpaper scroll. In conclusion 2 days later people were posting" I can't get the update" "what update" it is mainly because Samsung and att pull them out. Your phones are good don't worry.

If you use the firmware upgrade and initialization option, KIES downloads and flashes stock firmware to your device.

I don't trust kies a penny...if you wanna go back to stock just download the stoch tar from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin
So I am currently on the CM10.1 nightlies on my Canadian N8010. I'm now trying to reflash the stock rom back onto it, but I'm not sure which one to flash. samfirmware has stock roms for almost every contry, except for teh Canadian one. Does anyone know which rom i should be flashing, ie is there no Canadian one, and where i should find it?

Ah thank you.
I will update you if i find your stock firmware.
You Can Use ODIN On Your PC, Or Mobile ODIN On Your Device To Flash The Stock .tar Files....
I'd Try Sammobile.com For stock firmware...

Hey, i just chatted with a samsung support guy. He said there are no firmwares available on the website nor anywhere else.
You can only get updates with kies. but that is not the way you want it.....

you could try using a different language. but i dont know if it can damage your tablet.
Sock roms are interchangeable through regions. That's how most people got JB when it wa first released for Germany only....
Just be aware however that flashing a stock rom will change your CSC (region code), you will need to change back with the CSC Changer app available in app store HOWEVER, make sure to backup the contents on your Internal memory first or you will loose it.
I've just had an alert pop up on my 101 saying it's downloaded a new system firmware??
I'm already on .27. Is there a new version or is something going on???
Install it and report back
I wouldn't have thought so, it's been about a year since the last one

Yeah, my first thought was to just let it install and see what I get... But I worried that it'll kill recovery or unroot and I won't be able to get it back??

Yea it might replace recovery and unroot you, you should be able to use Easyflasher to root and flash custom recovery again though, it doesn't care which ROM is installed
Im not seeing any other reports of an update though
If you're rooted, you could pull the update and upload it for people here to check, I can't remember the exact location though, something like /sdcard/asus
EDIT - Possibly this location: "<Internal Storage>\ASUS\Update"
Its been so long since I ran stock I've forgotten where it downloads it to
We used to pull them off the TF and upload them for the devs to incorporate into their custom ROMs
Well, went ahead and let it install.... and I'm still on .27??
Is it possible for the version code to get corrupted and misread by the routine that checks for updates???
Anything is possible with ASUS firmware, I dropped ASUS a long time ago
They dropped us even longer ago
I'm almost tempted to switch back to stock to check. I heard that it will still be .27 but they updated some of the firmware?
Maybe they have fixed my opengl issues... Not gonna get my hopes up.
Can someone verify what's new, if anything?

Apart from the OP of this thread, there is no-one else reporting an update, I think something just bugged out on his TF and downloaded the .27 update again
ASUS haven't updated the TF101 for a year or more, they aren't likely to start again now, and nothing is on their official firmware page for the TF101 either
So i am running 8.0 with the R16NW.N950USQU3CRAF Update, and i am having a hard time getting the OTA update that was recently launched. (changed dates to check for software updates and rebooted with no luck).
Will i need to downgrade back to Nougat in order to get the Official 8.0 update?
You won't get yesterday's OTA unless you are running the previously released AT&T OTA which is BRA8 I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong). So yes, flashing back to what people here are calling "stock" would allow you to get recent OTA.

I'm not the really the person to ask about that. I haven't flashed my note 8. I just waited and took the OTA. I've just been following the threads out of habit from flashing phones since the beginning of the galaxy line. Sorry I can't be of more help for you.

Jackman is correct (Although being on the newer 3BRB2 would be best)
Odin is going to be the ONLY way to get back to stock.
You can go HERE for links and such.
Even when the 3CRC1 Odin files become available, Odin will still be the only option to get back to stock
