Samsung Software Update Problem maybe? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know why the Samsung update button when it pops up to check if there is any updates available. takes so damn long?
I clicked it one today, and it showed and prompted me to install the new update, yet when i tried to click it"Because want to save root i had to stop it to have it enabled" I came back to installing it, and it just hangs there swirling :/. Tried also FC - Google Services, and Clearing Data, then tried software updating, yet nothing.
It's been like this for the last 5 minutes
Any other way for me to reset and speed up this thing? is just stuck at "checking for software update"
Thank you guys!

simply because you tablet are rooted.

You can't receive OTA's. If you did, root would be removed as soon as you ran it.
Go to Sammobile and download the latest stock rom for your area... Flash with Mobile ODIN to keep root...

Help - Sensation 4g wont update

My sensation 4G just wont update. I downloaded the software when i got a prompt for an auto update. Its approximately a 44mb file. After downloading comes the install now or later screen. After choosing the install now, phone goes into shutdown, restarts but them moves to a screen with a WHITE TRIANGLE, YELLOW EXCLAMATION AND A BLUE ANDROID besides it in the centre. Nothing happens post that. Last night i kept the phone in that state for a good 8 hrs hoping it will update, but nothing.. The only way i can start the phone is by removing the battery and starting the phone again..
Everything on the phone works fine. Market apps download and install fine.. I just cannot update the phone by default though..
Things that i have already tried..
-Deleted cache completely but still same error post a new update download and install
-post that did a complete reset, factory data reset. Redownloaded the update, still d same problem persists..
What more can i do? This update will take the phone so android 2.3.4 and sense version to 3.5.
Is the update available on the forum, by which i can download and transfer to the sd card and manually install and try??
Any suggestions are welcome at this time..
ps: I am a newbie to android, hence not considered custom roms yet
IF you have not done anything to your phone you should take it into a TMO store and show them the problem. I don't think there anything else you can do having not rooted or flashed.

The problem is, i am in India right now. Cant take it to one cause TMO doesnt exist here and HTC doesnt have a global warranty.
Does this look like a hardware issue?

Even though this is an older document. New updates work the same way.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2392
Follow that for manual download and try that way.
Sir this is what i have been doing and it doesn't work.
Over the air or manually via menu, d end result is still the same.
By manual i meant if there is a physical file available to download which i can put on my sd card and then update it via system boot..
Can anyone tell me what exactly does the white triangle wit the yellow exclamation and blue android symbolize?

Device management on the fritz after failed OTA update.

I seen this subject discussed but never really saw a answer, seems like everyone resorted to re installing firmware which I would like to avoid if I can.......
so, Ran into some trouble today trying to trying to do the 3e recovery mod today and had to reinstall stock firmware (using odin and gtg). Got root access and was up and running. I went to updates just to see if anything was there and a update started and completed. the phone rebooted and was on the white and red update screen for about 4 secs and the phone rebooted again. When it Got back to the home screen and got a message saying the update had failed. since then device management will not stop popping up. it stays in the task bar and if you use any process that needs it, the failed update screen pops up again and DM crashes and restarts itself. the message in the taskbar says "connecting to DM server" like its trying to get a update. how can I stop this without resetting the phone?

it shouldn't be a prob after you flash a new rom on it.
If it really bugs you, you can try freezing it or remove the update manager pak with TiBu

Keeps Rebooting after update...why?

I tried to update my rooted note but it just keeps rebooting. It goes through the set-up with percentage at the bottom, gets to 100% and then reboots like it's going to start. However, instead of starting, it just instead tries to upgrade again. It keeps going through this cycle.
I started it and used Odin to flash initial .tar with root in it and it's doing the same thing.
Please help!!!

Well, my suggestion would be to load up Kies on your computer. Connect the tablet, and see if you can do a firmware repair seeing as how you seemingly already tried to ODIN in another rom. Maybe you can try to boot into CWM and wipe the cache, dalvik, and factory reset, but I'm not so sure that will do anything for you.
OK. Used the update/tar from this file. Got me up and running but then gave me a message that update failed to install. I did, however, lose root rights.

As risky as I am, I checked software update and found another update--this time smaller in size. Downloaded and installing...Wish me luck.
OK, That's appearing to work! Machine is rebooting and is again "optimizing applications."
yeah, the recent update came in 2 flavors. stock to LI3 which was 75 and LH2 to LI3 which was 40mb.
Glad to hear you got it up and running!

Installing update stuck in a loop - I think

Morning all.
I got an OTA update available notification on my wife's phone and started the update. Its been well over 1.5 hours and it seems to keep repeating the "installing update" step in a loop.
I thought I check here for suggestions before I rebooted the phone. Anyone faced similar situation? Note the phone is unrooted.
A Google search didn't find anything similar.
You upgrade from lollipop? Anyway, try to backup all the data from the device. After that try to do a factory reset, maybe it's will help. Maybe WiFi problem?

December update restart

1. december 2020, version N985FXXS1ATK1
I updated the phone on 7. December around noon, and after the update the phone keeps rebooting.
After it boots up, it seriously laggs. It then shows the notification "finishing system update" which after it reaches around a fifth of the progress abr, the phone reboots.
But it is not a real reboot, it only shows the Samsung logo for a couple of seconds and jumps back to the home screen, lags again and the notification starts from the beginning.
The phone's uptime is aorund 15 seconds before it reboots. This was a standard OTA update, no bootloader stuff, no nothing.
I'm taking it tomorrow to store.
I've tried:
- reseting network data
- wiping cache from the boot menu
- booting into safe mode
No difference.
Has anyone else experienced this, or has any advice?
got the same update but no such issues. let them fix it in the store
Dud motherboard if you have exhausted all software troubleshooting options. Had a sm-n985F with similar issues. Random reboots.

Does not have to be motherboard issue.
updates through OTA can get corrupt/damaged so your update mostlikely got this so it reboots all time.
Try reinstalling your phone via smart switch app on pc or ODIN and see if problem remains.
If it stops then it was due to corrupt/damaged files in update via OTA.

Hence why I mentioned if you have exhausted all software avenues.
I took it to the store. They flashed it and now it works with the latest update. Like you said, it just got corrupt
