Firmware update - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I Am curious if they stopped the new firmware update. On Friday I exchanged my 16g for a 32g and when I was setting it up on Saturday it said update available but when I tried to get it it was gone. I had gotten the update on the 16g before switching it so I wanted to check if it was pulled for some reason.
Thx
I currently have UEALGB

I saw in the thread about rooting the 10.1 mention of it being pulled. You can always try to update via Kies (you'll have to download Kies PC if you haven't already), but I imagine if it was pulled that won't work either.

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."

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 happened on mine all the time ( spent sometimes flashing back n forth ). i just keep trying until it starts downloading. nothing special, it's just the damn Kie.
have tried everything but unrooting but thought you could update via kies when rooted.
uninstalled kies (both mini and full) and reinstalled mini.
going to try again if that doesn't work may unroot and retry.

Being rooted should make no difference. Wouldn't surprise me if AT&T servers are overwhelmed with people checking everyday for a Froyo update that we clearly won't get until next year.

Let me rephrase that, if we don't see it by next week I doubt we'll see it until next year. Last thing AT&T wants to do is push an update that causes troubles during the holiday season when most of it's work force is out on holiday.
Just my 2 cents.
I agree. It would not surprise me if they pushed the update out in Jan. Guess Canada gets it before USA. Hurray for time wasting lock down of the OS update.

Rogers 2.2 update is available through Kies

Installed Kies... Update process starts but Kies crashes. Anyone else have this issue? I'm currently trying to unroot to see if that makes a difference.
Edit: Exact issue is: MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has stopped working.
Does it regardless if I choose to backup or not the contacts and data.
Edit 2: Unroot changes nothing.
Edit 3: Doing a factory reset on the device doesn't help either. WTF?

Get it here
Wonder if it'll be 2.2.1...
Ok so I just got back from writing an exam and will try to reinstall Kies. I tried 2 times to update through my computer this morning and once on my wife's PC (She has a Captivate as well)
All 3 attempts it says that Its downloaded the update but then it fails when it tries to install. Now remember I've not rooted or anything, so i think that there might be a newer version of kies or something...going to look now.
But anyways it tries to update it says a bunch of stuff like: You phone Jsomething1 and the update is supposed to be Jsomething2...I dont get it.
Remember I dont hack or mod phones in the slightest, so I have no clue what this J1 (mine) and the update of j2 is...?
The update is big though, takes a few minutes to download and I have a 16mps download speed...
Downloading this version of Kies and will try again:

I'm with Rogers with an AT&T Captivate (Rooted and Cognition 2.3b6). Will I be able to update my device to it? I much prefer the Rogers software than AT&T's. I don't care if I have to use Odin or erase everything.

Did you put your phone in Recovery mode like the first pop up is asking ? (Unplug usb cable from phone (not the computer), power off the phone, Hold vol up/down button and plug usb cable. You should now be in download mode (black/yellow screen with a shovelling droid)

Stock ROM from Rogers
No, not recovery mode.
PC runs W7-32 for what it's worth.
In the meantime, I did some research on the error I mentioned above.
It appears it's a very common issue with KIES.
There are a few workarounds.
So far, I tried the "SIM-out" method and it doesn't work for me.
Next, I'm trying the regedit method.
Will report on results.
@silvertag: your upgrade worked fine or you haven't tried yet?

Nowhere you have to check Kies server to know it's been released. There is still no confirmation from Rogers last i checked.

Yes it worked fine you HAVE to put the phone in download mode before you start downloading the update or it will fail at the upgrade part.

Device does not update through OTA

This doesn't seem like a common problem, but I found a few people who got this issue.
My TF700 have been on 4.0.1 and it does not upgrade to 4.1 JB even though it has been released for a week. I have then used the custom method to force update to 10.4.4.16 - JB. However, I know 4.4.18 just came out and I am afraid it still would not update OTA.
Anyone has a solution for this??

Yup checking for update has nothing
Before I upgraded to 10.4.4.16 the device was totally stock, and it just does not update for the longest time.
Since I had updated to 10.4.4.16, I have then unlocked, rooted. No mod, no system app freeze.
Still no update notice for 10.4.4.18

I didn't realized it was that and now I went back to read the All-In-One Guide For Asus Infinity thread detail; I do see that in the note. I am fine with doing manual updates but was just bothered the device doesn't function properly**
I guess now even the tablet will have to be manual updated OR eventually use custom rom :fingers-crossed:

Yup. Assuming you're into the stock experience and have the keyboard (thus appreciating the shortcut keys), CleanROM is eyeing you. Your 700 is behaving normally, so that's one problem out of the way.
When I come back to home, i saw that update is available. But I forgot temporary disabled root (ota root keeper). My device started update, but it stoped in bootloader (deat android with red triangle) My tf started without update, and now I can`t OTA (update is not available for you). Can I redownload update, and update soft one more time? How can I do this?

I had something kinda weird happen just now.
I originally unlocked and rooted the moment I got the tablet, and manually installed 10.4.4.16. Everything works great.
I just finished manually updating to 10.4.4.18 and after a reboot, it said I have a system update available, which was 10.4.4.16.....
[/doublerainbowvoice] Does this mean I still got an OTA even though I'm unlocked and rooted?

[Q] Manually upgrade?

I've had my GT-8010 for a while (in the UK) but still no sign of the Jelly Bean update.
Am I just unlucky and at the bottom of the pile or is there a problem. I'd prefer to get it via Kies or OTA but if everyone else has it and I'm still waiting....
What do you think am I the only one left?
TIA

Are you stock or rooted? If rooted what methode?
Stock 4.0.4
Use ODIN, just make sure you download the right version of JB from Sammobile...
I'm actually wondering if it's still being rolled out or if it's finished and I've been missed/have a problem.
I'm guessing that the guide on here should get me through the process should I choose to do it manually.
Put your tab into download mode, from off hold volume down and power until it gives warning, push up volume.
Connect to pc and make sure kies is not active. Run ODIN - it should recognise the tab.
Make sure that re-partition is not ticked in ODIN.
Click on PDA and select the new OS.
Make sure re-partition is not ticked in ODIN.
Click start, go get yourself a coffee for ten minutes and make sure NO-ONE interferes with it - if it gets disconnected you can end up with a real brick....
Go back, all your stuff should be the same unless you restart in stock recovery and pick wipe data/cache.
Check out the new things your tab does...
See, easy...
Even easier if you're tab is rooted and you have Mobile ODIN....

Obviously you regularly connect to Kies to check for updates? It's really odd because I got my 4.1.1 update via kies over a month ago....and yesterday I got an OTA notification that 4.1.2 can be installed. I'm also from the UK with a GT-8010.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
Wow thanks for actually reading my question. I think I may end up flashing. Will I get future OTA/Kies updates if I do flash or will I need to do it manually from now on?
If you flash the right firmware for your area it should still come out OTA or by kies.
