Software update check getting into infinite cycle - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had rooted my Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8013) and I finally unrooted and currently using the stock rom.
This morning I say a "new update downloaded" message and when I hit the instal button, it went into the process for checking for new updates. The process is continuing even after waiting for 3 hours with a high speed wifi connection.
Is there anyone else with this same problem? Is this problem happening because I had rooted the tablet earlier?

As root messes OTA updates suggest you use Kies .
jje

Or go to sammobile, download the whole rom and use ODIN....

Nope, you don't have to do anything. Just connect your tab via usb cable and run Kies. If a FW update is available you will be notified as soon as the Kies start...

bro no matter rooted or unrooted when connected to kies it will show update if available.and disconnection problem is with most of tab 2 user.so there are two ways wait for fota or go to service center and get tab updated.
I've tried to update my rooted P3113 from wifi download, not by KIES.
No success! It must be because of the CWM recovery installed, since the tab automatically boots to recovery after downloading updates from samsung. I think the samsung official update scenario stucks at this point (because there is no standart android recovery after CWM installed).
When i'm trying to update rooted P3113 from KIES - no success too, because of "disconnection" problem.
So, we waiting for the stock 4.0.4 rom file for CWM recovery.
Root or unrooted doesn't matter. My tablet is stock and never rooted and Kies was still messing up. Luckily I finally got the OTA this morning.
When I checked for update from my device. It says no update is available. How to get the update?

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that was rooted and the other day when I turned it on it started updating my tablet. However, the update failed. Probably because I was rooted. So I unrooted the tablet and every time I check for updates it says there are NO updates. I installed Kies on Windows and (after connecting to it with the GTab2 7) it shows me that there IS an update for it. However, every time I click on update it disconnects after a few seconds and and goes back to the initial screen saying there is an update.
So, I can't install it via Kies. And now I when I check for updates it says there are NO updates. Am I totally screwed OR what.
When the update failed, I think when it rebooted to install it THAT it came up to CWM and that is why it failed BUT now CWM is gone and I am definitely NOT rooted with stock ROM on the machine.
However, I see in the settings under STATUS that is shows "modified" instead of "normal".
Is there any way to reset the status? Or is it necessary?

You don't need to unroot, just flash 4.0.4 firmware with odin as i described in this topic
Download firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3113
You will have unrooted stock firmware after flash complete. And after that you install cwm and root just as you did with 4.0.3
One way is to just flash it in Odin.
I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295
This seems to be a pretty foolproof "restock" method.
The only UNROOT method that worked for me!

The only METHOD that UNROOTED my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 was the instructions at this web site :
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3113-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96474/
It's a 2 step process. I tried several other places that had similar instructions BUT this one worked. You have to download several files and the recovery rom file has 2 different versions and you choose the one that is appropriate for your situation. I was NOT sure which was appropriate so I tried both and it finally worked.
And it DOES unroot it.
And later that night JUST after midnight I was AGAIN notified on my GT2 7 that I had an update. This time it downloaded the 200+ mb file and rebooted and came up and installed it perfectly!
And every thing is working well now and I am on 4.04. It is SO much smoother than 4.03. A real keeper until Jelly Bean comes available.

Ha ha well I should have read this thread before I did a factory reset and installed kies on like 5 computers. Come on samsung.

[Q] P3113 OTA update downloads update fails

Rooted stock p3113: JB update downloads over the air, starts to update and fails. Tried Kies but it just keeps connecting )Uninsatlled and downlaoded Kies 3 times). Short of using ODIN, anyway to update to JB?

Might be possible , depending what you have installed or removed, but the easiest way will be to use ODIN .
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Can't update my stock p3113. It reminds me that I have a software update but every time I try to update I get a "Processing Failed" error. I Googled it and tried all of the fixes by logging in and out of Samsung Account, erasing details & signing up for a new account. Still no luck. I've factory reset about 5 times, I've installed and uninstalled Kies about 3 or 4 times on 2 different Win 7 x64 rigs and that still won't connect. I'm at my wit's end. Never had a device this hard to update.

I wrote a tutorial in the dev section on how to do this using mobile Odin light.
It is most likely failing because you're rooted...

Well I'm not rooted but I looked over at your post and I'm in the process of trying it but I'm confused about which firmware to download and use. I see 2 JB firmwares with the same date but with different regions. Not sure which region to use with my stock US P3113. XAR or XAC?

Official jelly bean update problem

I literally just bought my tab 2 yesterday so when I plugged it into my laptop, kies informed me of an available update.....I was able to update to 4.1.2 but after a couple of minutes, I noticed that my tablet kept on freezing...restarting was useless because I keep getting stuck on the Samsung logo...I tried doing a reset on the recovery mode,...it worked for a while but the problem resurfaced....I figured that its a software problem so I decided to root and install cyanogen 10.1...this solved my problem fortunately..,..its ironic that the official update broke my device and it needed a ROM to fix the issue..

[Q] OTA Update on rooted GT-I9105P

Hi guys, a couple of months ago I've rooted my new S2+ and after Alex posted the new 4.2.2 I've flashed my device with RDS_GT-I9105P-XEO-I9105PXXAMC2 (topic here GT-I9105/I9105P Stock Prerooted Firmware Without loss of warranty(4.2.2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334103).
So far it is working perfect! This week I've received a notification, that there is a new update available OTA for my device, so I've decided to download and install it. I've downloaded it, the phone restarts and starts to install the "new update", but at 25% shows an error (the Android guy wearing the red triangle etc. and reboots automatically).
After the restart the OS boots normally and is working OK as previous.
My question is: Since my phone has a prerooted stock FW (4.2.2) and is rooted at the same time running CWM, why I can't install the latest updates OTA?
If CW is causing this, why am I able to get the OTA update notification?
Thanks for the replies.

I understand that the FW is modded, as the previous one (4.1.2), which I've downloaded from here and installed on my G2+. But with 4.1.2 at that time I wasn't able to check for any updates for my OS. Every time I've checked manually for updates, the OS gave me error message, that this is not possible. And now with 4.2.2 I am not only able to check if my FW is the latest, but also to download and install 1/4 of the updates. I am trying to find the algorithm here.

I will say it again
It is not possible to check for updates because the Firmware is modded and not original anymore that's why!!!
Hi "safariking",
In the current situation we have two identically modded FWs, but a different outcome.
It's very nice of you to take the time to answer my question so fully That's why I'd like to thank you for the effort. Herewith I am closing the topic.
Cheers.
No probs guy i will repeat myself 100 times no problem

chill down everyone safari bro,this guy trying to say he got updated with mod fw,just when reach certain percent,the downloaded file seems corrupted. Now i understand mod fw can't even received the ota file,but how this process is allowed, and what happened with the ota file he downloaded?
either way,it's pointless,1st the phone fail to update completely(stuck at 25%), 2nd i don't think this problem can be solved.
cheers everyone~ :highfive:

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. You are reading my mind. The issue is really interesting & I think it is worth discussing this.
Safari is right, when he says that FW upgrade OTA for customized ROM is not possible. This is of course true and no one has ever doubted it. This is why when I had the 4.1.2 installed on my G2+ no update was even possible. Droid detects immediately, that the OS has been modified and that you are not running stock ROM.
Okay, so far so good.
Now I have pre-rooted 4.2.2 installed on my phone. When I hit the "Check for update button" it detects that my OS is genuine (although it is not), downloads the whole update package (see screenshot), restarts the phone (part of the update process) and starts installing the update. When the installation reaches 25%, an error message appears saying, that an error has occurred. The phone restarts and loads the "old" OS.
I have tested this a several times and it always hangs on 25%.
The question is NOT why I CAN'T install OTA updates on modified ROM. The question is why I CAN download and install OTA updates on modified ROM.
My suggestion is that:
ROM 1 (4.1.2) had a modified kernel. That's why the OTA updates were not possible.
ROM 2 (4.2.2) is pre-rooted. And I assume it is just stock FW (kernel not modified) with few modifications in the user permissions. This would explain the OTA update and why it reaches download mode and hangs on 25% of the installation.
I hope this brings more clarification to the situation and this would be useful to all members of the forum.
Cheers!:highfive:
I have randomly come across and read posts and topics on this in the other devices' forum.
If I remember correctly, it is the custom recovery, i.e Cwm or twrp that blocks or interrupts the OTA process. 2 reasons why: you'll lose root access if the update went through. Secondly, if a user freezes or uninstalls stock apps like S Voice, Chat On etc, there will be trouble.
There are some ways of allowing an OTA to get pass a custom recovery. I think TWRP has this feature. Again, I stand corrected here lol.
Heard of OTA Root Keeper but no idea how it works

[Q] Honeycomb to Jellybean problems - country registration

I have a Galaxy 7.7 6810 (originally purchased from Hong Kong) and a few weeks ago, I tried to go from ICS 4.0.3 to Jellybean using OTA. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that I was rooted and the OTA would not install. I then tried using Odin to flash Bodivas 4.1.2 and totally screwed up. Odin would not complete the installation - stuck somewhere in the process and I couldn't figure out how to safely get out. Soft brick! I finally (several days later) managed to get back to stock 3.2 using Odin 3 version 1.85. I ended up with build "HTJ85B P6810XXLB4, which seems to work just fine, but now I would like to get back up to JB. I was hoping that I could do OTA, as I'm not rooted right now, but I can't get past the registration page from Samsung. It asks for my country and by now I've tried many of the countries on the list and always get the message "Registration failed." The problem must be due to my build version.
Any suggestions for what I need to do in order to get Samsung to recognize my 6810 so that I can get the OTA update? I'm reluctant to try Odin again because of what happened last time, although I guess I can root and then try Mobile Odin this time around.
Sorry this is so long.
