If she wants to use OTA, her phone must be pure stock, no root, no custom rom/kernel/right version of modem, no efs file system(must be rfs). She can Odin back to factory stock rom E4D, then re do the OTA.

I believe he meant EP4D, not E4D. That's what I used last night.

I used the 1-click method to root my phone. When I do the software update it goes as far as downloading the update, then my phone reboots. And for some reason when it reboots it reboots into recovery. Then I reboot my phone and when it loads it says update failed. The update is 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 I'm assuming. The reason I make this assumption is just because my wife and I got the same phone on the same day and hers updated and mine didn't. I rooted, she didn't. I read something about having to have all your original apps installed when I did a search, but I have removed any of the bloatware or any other apps as of yet. Thanks for the help in advance!
To Take the OTA you need Stock recovery, not CWM there is a thread with the Stock recovery you can flash in Odin to get the OTA to install
Check out this link to another post on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943&highlight=stock+recovery+odin
this should be what you need to take the 2.3.6 OTA (which really isn't all that worth it, so if you're happy with 2.3.5 i would stay there until an ICS OTA comes)
Would a factory reset go back to stock recovery?

No a Factory reset just resets the user data not the recovery or system information

My understanding was that 2.3.6 implemented a new modem that improved the performance of the phone. I personally have great service compared to my Tmobile that I just bought out my contact on. Just wondering how much better that update would make my phone.

If your rooted you can just flash the 2.3.6 radio in cwm... Or even a 2.3.6 ROM (MHX superlite 3.1 final was my GB ROM of choice)
There is a radio thread and also info in the all in one sticky thread.

Phone: Verizon galaxy s3 I535 US version
(/i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/JlSmall/Screenshot_2012-10-01-08-27-33.png[/url]
Sorry can't post full link yet
To make a long story short, I wanted to receive the Verizon ota update so it would go away. I found the firmware update for rooted galaxy s3 I535 and flashed it. After I rebooted it did the yellow triangle and said software not allowed by Verizon.
Assuming it was a soft brick, I downloaded the Verizon galaxy s3 stock Rom software ,flashed and cleared data sync cache.
It rebooted but still showed open lock and said custom ( not sure what that means) since I set it back to factory out the box format.
After it booted I placed in usb debuging and flashed the stock root software which included su and adb.
It restarted the phone normal with superuser.
As I was downloading the busybody, Rom manager, titanium backup, apps
Verizon downloaded the new ota update and went into there flashing mode. It finished update and restarted.
But now I can not gain root permission to flash cwr Rom to recover phone. This is where I need help please
I will try to update with file names when I get home tonight.
What is wrong?
And last question after I get permission, can I go back to recovery send use my last back up and recover all my apps, data and user files with out going back to before ota update.
it showed the custom unlock because your rooted. ota breaks root and yes you can restore your backup. although you will be prompted for the OTA again. I would advance restore data and not your full backup.

I believe I used the stock root I'll have to see when I get home. But that ringes a bell. I know I used the stock then flashed a stock root to regain root. It said su and adb was with it. It's the one in a YouTube video. But I stoped at min 3:30 bc I have Rom manager to flash cwm
Should I Just try another root or do you have unroot. First then flash another. Usually I run into issues like this.
The other question is should I upgrade to jelly bean

i solved the issue, I ended up completly re rooting and not using oden. this fixed everything
I received notice this morning that a firmware update was ready to install. I chose to install it and the tablet rebooted and start to apply the update. However, it gets to 32% on the update install, stalls, and then reboots and does the exact same thing.
Any thoughts on a solution?

i have the same problm :crying:
Need more info than that.
For example... Are you rooted or stock?
If rooted, there are a couple of reasons off hand I can think of you could be having a problem.
If you're stock, well... All I can think of is wave your hands in the air, and wave them like you just don't care. Pretty sure that won't fix the problem though, but if it does, report back! xD
I'm rooted.

exactly the same problem
I have the exact same problem.
GT-N8013, rooted, stock rom with root injected.
I called Samsung tech service and they said I should send my device to them.
The only way I can get out of this "update->reboot->update->reboot->..." infinite loop is to get into ODIN mode. (I can't turn off the device)
I decided to re-flash my rom (stock rom with root injected) in ODIN mode, but it does not have any effect and the device is still on this infinite loop. I'm worried if I messed up the device even more by doing that.

Try using Odin to flash the high on android cwm recovery. Once I did that I could restore a backup and boot to android.
Thank you! but I've been on stock recovery so I never flashed cwm or made a cwm backup. How can I restore to a backup after I flash the cwm recovery?

if you've never flash CWM, that means you never backed up via CWM, which means you can't restore to a back up. You have to use ODIN and flash a stock firmware on your note to recover it
Yes I'm trying to find a stock firmware for N8013 (UEALGB) but no luck. There is only "root injected" stock firmware, which is causing the problem right now...
Has anyone resolved this problem?

I have a N8013 and was running the stock, root injected firmware (UEALGB). Today I got the update notification. I tried to install and it kept looping. This is what I did:
1. Flashed the stock firmware with ODIN. You'll find the stock firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
2. When my tab rebooted, I got another update notification. I installed it and it worked. I'm now running UEALI3.
I didn't lose any data. I just lost root.
This worked for me as well. Thanks a lot, Vincent9756!:good:

Flash the recovery version for your firmware. If you have stock, flash the GB recovery. If you have LH2, flash that.
If you want to save root, use OTA RootKeeper before doing anything.

Im sorry but what do you mean GB Aaah that was the primary stock recovery before i updated to LH2 lol, now i get it.?The one that i have is the CWM HighonAndroid which was used for the Method 2 to obtain root, so then i jus tdownoad the stock LH2 Recovery, and use OTA rootkeeper before Odin LH2 Stock Recovery right? Will there also be a stock kernel and recovery for UEALI3 ? was thinking of possibly using the Triangle Away after this, possibly might be needed. Though maybe not.
Just want to make sure that everything is normal after this lol
ok... giving it a shot now, and using the OTA RootKeeper, lets see if this works
Everything Got updated !!! OTA seems to have worked which was awesome.
Testing everything to make sure that Root is fully funtional .
Used RootChecker, and things seems fully working!
Thank you loads for the help!

Yeah, there will most certainly be kernel and recovery uploads.
the only issue you might run into is CWM not sticking. If it doesn't reflash CWM in ODIN with reboot unchecked. Then after you flash it, boot into CWM. When you select reboot, it should offer to prevent stock recovery from replacing it.
and you're welcome, glad to help
Guys u might think this is a dumb question but how do i flash stock recovery with odin like were do insert the file i know how tp put in dl mode and get my comp to see my tab in odin and i did flash the prerooted injected stock uealgb recovery to get root i just dont know were to put the files in odin some help would be greatly appreciated, cause i need to flash this first before i do the ota update correct ?

First things first. Your device is not " BRICKED " . You have several choices here. The two easiest IMO since you did not make a Nandroid Backup are, ODIN back to Stock NE5. Or flash another Rom. Rwilco12's Mostly Stock NE5 is a good choice if you want to stay very close to Stock, but have a few added features.

What stock firmware were you on? Download which ever firmware you have on your phone currently, flash through odin. This will get u to same point your at now but not rooted and no bootloop, so after your done flashing stock firmware, root with method you had used before, everything should be the way it was before, now make a nandroid with you recovery.

What happens when you make a backup? Usually when you make a nandroid, it names the file with what firmware your on. I know its senseless to make a back up, but at least you can find firmware out.
Hello experts,
As the title states I ignorantly took the OTA 4.4.3 with TWRP installed. After downloading the phone asked if I wanted to install the new firmware. I clicked yes and my phone went right into recovery. I tried to nan droid back to Venom 1.8 and It just stuck on the splash screen. I tried multiple venom rom nan droids and none would boot.
I was able to nan droid back to my stock back up (not stock recovery but everything else). I flashed the stock recovery through adb/fastboot and am now trying the OTA again. I assume the OTA should work now ( unless I am missing something ?).
Once the OTA takes, assuming it does, should I be able to restore back to venom ? What was preventing the restore from working originally?
Thank you so much for any help you can offer.

Twrp recovery doesn't flash firmware. If all you want is the updated firmware, go to tigerstown's thread and flash the firmware only zip and stay on venom the whole time.

Yes, going forward I will install the firmware via fast boot . Since I had a stock backup ( so I thought) I wanted to try it this way.
Everything is working as intended now. Once I flashed the stock recovery the phone updated and I was able to restore Venom 1.8.
Thanks for your input.
