Hi,
I need some help from you experts here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 AT&T running on Android 4.2.2. I tried to update the software, it downloaded around 459 MB file, but while installing, it gave a message saying "Install was interrupted, no update was installed". I tried several times even after doing factory reset, still not successful. I then downloaded KIES 3 on computer, but again not successful. Can someone please help me?
Thanks in Advance.

I'm not an expert, But it's looks like your county or your mobile network providers don't let you to update on your Android Version (you are saying " I tried to update the software" i guess you are trying to update your android version)
Do your phone already rooted.?
or may be flashing your ROM you can install custom roms and different android versions. but WARNING flashing and rooting can avoid your warranty.

I am using Verizon note 2 (SCH-I605) and it has been like 2 years now. It's version is 4.1.2 right now.
Couple days ago, I tried to update by going through setting -about phone- software update - check new
But, once I tried to check, 'service unavailable' pops up and makes me go to setting > about phone when service is available.
Status says my software is up to date.
I tried Kies both 2.6 and 3, but when I connected my phone, it says 'this kies does not support my phone' for both version.
Now I am totally lost what I should do. I searched several things for several days, but have no idea.

Yes, KIES and OTA updater are a little bit ... how to say ... sensitive. if your current region does not fit to the original region/country set in the system settings, you won't get any updates this way.
There is a way to flash the firmware manually.

My friend gave me his Verizon Note 2 that he bricked (I dont know how) and asked me to fix it. Every time i try to flash a ROM it either fails or 1 of the 2 messages "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." (The phone isn't compatible with Kies) or " System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." (It has no contract and the warranty is up) Can someone please help me fix this issue? Thanks.
Edit:When i flash something and it fails it says on the phone "SW REV. Invalid magic string"
Hi
"SW REV. Invalid magic string" could mean that you are trying to install an older firmware (downgrade). Try again with the latest firmware available for your device.
Good luck.
So you are saying to try and install the latest version of android for it? (I believe that's 4.4.2)
Exactly. Some Samsung firmwares (bootloader) don't allow you to downgrade. No problem to flash the same Android version or a more recent one.
If you can, please provide a link because I have the tendency to pick the wrong ones

Hey XDA Forum,
I've got a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note EDGE (915FY) running on 5.0.1. I can't update to a newer version.
I tried it via the system updates but it failed, it recomendet to use Kies so i did that but it also failed and rebooted into 5.0.1 again.
I also tried updating the firmware via Odin but guess what it failed, I got somekind of file size error.
Is there anyone out there who can help me ?
If you need more information about that just let me know !
Thank you so much !
Hi
I've flashed firmwares before on Galaxy mini, Galaxy grand prime and Note 10.1 GT-N8000
So I'm a little oriented with the flashing process and even the rooting process of my devices
I've used Sammobile many months ago to get the 4.4.2 firmware that was non-official, and it worked fine for many months & I have rooted my note a couple of months ago and it was working fine, but the problem was that the charging time usually exceeded 8 hours
and that was too long as I was starting to use my note longer than usual lately
So I tried 2 days ago to downgrade to an official 4.1.2 ROM but The process Failed and I got that message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I tried recovery mode, but I haven't backed up my firmware on Kies before, so it didn't work for me as Kies didn't find any backed-up firmwares on my laptop
I tried firmware upgrade & initializing.. I entered my model and S/N, but I got a message that this model doesn't support initializing!
I've windows 10, and I've tried Odin 3.07, 3.09, 3.10, 3.11
I removed my external memory card, stopped the antivirus, changed the USB port and tried flashing many other firmware versions, some are 4.1.2 and the others are 4.4.2, some are official and others aren't, including the non-official version that I think I've used before
But all my trials failed to get my note working again! and I'm always stuck with this message and can't even turn my note off!
Please, can anyone help me in this problem?
IT FINALLY WORKED
I tried flashing for the zillion time.. it worked with the non official ROM
and when it opened I found all my apps there! without the rooting app
and that was In no time, so it's not due to backup
Now I want to flash an official one, or downgrade to the official 4.1.2, what can I do to avoid facing the same problem again?
Hello Community. I need your help please!!! I have Samsung s10e. After running OTA update, it ran into an error "can't load android system......." After installing new firmware using Odin, it runs into the same problem. The phone can also get into recovery. I have factory restored it but still the same problem. It has frp on. Finding a combination firmware for u11 android 11 has been hard for me. The phone currently has U11. Here is a picture of the error I am getting. I will highly appreciate any assistance from you guys.
Regards,
