P3113 Update

I've noticed there was an update on kies this week (P3113UEBLH1), I'm not sure what it was thought.
I've tried upgrading in kies, it was stuck at 0% downloading then connection timed out.
The OTA update didn't find any updates available.
Then next morning, kies said no update available too.
So, Anyone got the update to work, and if so what changes did you notice?
The update is available for flashing with odin on samsung-updates.com , this is the 2nd 4.0.4 update. (I'm still running the old 4.0.4 (P3113UEBLG5))

I don't have it, but I can look into it...

My device is rooted, and the only backup I made with CWM was after I rooted, if I go to update (if my device can find it) will I:
1) Brick out and be screwed?
2) Have to flash my backup (which is rooted, so would that mean I can't update again?)
3) Be ok and keep my rooting?
4) Be ok, and lose my rooting, and have to re-root?
I realize I am kind of answering your question with a question, but I would be happy to see if I can track it down and see what changes there are, if it's safe to install.

Try backing up your system using clockworkmod recovery first, then go to download mode, flash your firmware version (download from samfirmware or samsung-updates) and flash it with odin.
This way you're unrooted, running stock rom and stock recovery and then you can install the update.
I didn't try to install an update while rooted, but it's not recommended so don't try.

I did a back up after I rooted with CWM

So is my backup going to be rooted? Or will it be the stock? I am currently rooted stock 4.0.4.
Btw, I have found no information about the update anywhere on the net. Maybe they accidently did a push to us, and pulled it back?
Should I wipe cache, dalvik and FDR before I flash the firmware from those sites or use the backup I made already? (which I am unsure if I should even use since idk if it will be rooted or not lol)
I wasn't going to update till it was time to get JB, but this update that vanished is intriguing enough I might lol

As i know yes when you restore backup with cwm the result will be rooted also as the cwm takes image of the system when doing backup and as you when doing backup was rooted so when restore this backup you will be still rooted if you flash via odin no need to wipe cash and dalvik cash i never read anyone doing this
Even if you do this wipe no harm at all

As mohamed selim said, but wipe your data and do a factory reset in clockworkmod (after backup)
and why will samsung pull back the update?

There's several reasons why this may happen

They pushed it out to the wrong devices
They pushed it out to early
They found a last minute bug and had to pull back
They are testing it, and not everyone should have gotten the option to get it.
Ok so to get things straight. If/when we go to JB I will need to download a firmware stock from one of the sites listed above, download it.
Do a backup (just to be safe of what I have now)
FDR/Wipe everything
Install the firmware using Odin
If everything looks good, re-flash CWM
Do another backup so I have a clean stock to revert back to down the road if needed.
That sum it up correctly? This way I can bookmark this thread so I don't forget lol.
**EDIT** When I use Odin to restore stock will I lose CWM? If so, what happens if something goes wrong in the Odin restore and I have a boot loop, or etc, what would be my next move since I won't have CWM to restore previous, would I be able to install it like I would if things were going ok?
Sorry for sounding like a n00b, I am still learning all about this, but I think I am getting closer to learning enough to not be a n00b lol. I only have 10 tabs open with this forum instead of 20!

It's not for the wrong device since it's saying P3113, and it's not jelly bean. as I've seen on samsung firmware.com it's 4.0.4.
Well, on my homescreen I put a shortcut for the software update, it still has a circle saying 'N" on it (which probably stands for new), but going in kies I don't find it, It only says it downloaded it but the firmware is up to date.
So probably either they really pulled it back, or it's a bug and they're fixing it. (I really can't wait for jelly bean)
Second, yes it will erase the CWM recovery and go back to stock recovery.
The common mistake people make to get a bootlop is not wiping data/doing a factory reset before flashing a new ROM, so you should go to recovery and do a factory reset, then go to download mode and flash the firmware with odin. If you ever get stuck in a bootloop, try pressing volume down + power key to get to download mode and re flash the ROM. if it's still stuck, try re-downloading the ROM files you downloaded, it could be corrupted.

Awesome!

So the one on the site even though its XAR is us? Can I ask why we have that tag? Not something like US or etc? I mean I don't care, just kinda curious since that would make it more simple to know which region gets what, at least for me it would lol.
Thank you so much for the help and the knowledge, I figured I would end up with stock recovery, which is why I wanted to make sure about what if something goes wrong.
As a side thought, where does the backup that CWM makes located? Can I copy and paste that on to my PC so I always have a back up handy? (I would sync it into the cloud). Can I flash that with odin down the road? Or is that only a CWM usable file?

I tried updating it once with KIES and it got to a point and froze on the screen. I had to force the tablet to shut down and rebooted and the tablet was OK. Being a glutton for punishment I tried again with KIES and the LH1 update successfully updated my GT2 7 and the About screen confirms it. Directly after installing and rebooting I started getting error messages about Chrome crashing. I uninstalled Chrome browser and reinstalled it and all is well. No other problems. Do NOT really notice ANY difference at all.
The only problem I have is that NOW I have decided that I would like to root my GT2 7 and I am NOT sure the methods I see out there will work with the P3113UEBLH1 update.
Does anyone know if my GT2 7 - P3113UEBLH1 can be rooted safely??

Can you please tell me what's different than the older UEBLG5 version? and btw can you upload the stock rom itself without root so I can test it? because I couldn't download :s
EDIT: I downloaded it via samsung-updates.com and flashed it with odin.
It's pretty much the same as UEBLG5 I didn't notice anything different, but I downgraded to UEBLG5 as samsung appears to have pushed back this update (UEBLH1), because when I connect the device to kies, it doesn't recognize it.

Sorry for the question, but what do you mean comfirmed OTA? Once kies told me about the UEBLG5 update, I couldn't install it with kies as it was lagging.
Next day I found it on the OTA update.
This one showed on kies for a day, then next day neither kies or the OTA udpates showed there was an update so it probably got pulled back?

[Q] Help! Rooted phone with Custom Mode, ROM Manager Bricked

Hey guys,
I just got my phone and it updated to 4.4 pretty much out of the box. I still wanted to root so I used a method I found on here (will find if necessary) which is supposed to not trip the KNOX by putting the phone into "Custom Mode." Everything went fine until I tried to use ROM Manager to install CM.
When I boot I get the message "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." I've tried reflashing using Odin, clearing the cache and factory resets, but I get the same error every time.
I'm currently downloading another stock ROM which might work, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem?
Thank you!

You are permanently stuck on the TW 4.3 OTA because the bootloader is signed with special keys that prevents:
-installing a custom recovery
-flashing custom roms/kernels
-downgrading your software below 4.3
If you can boot into download mode, do this 4.3 soft brick method.
With TW 4.3 OTA, all you can do is root using a tool called: Saferoot.

If you have 4.3 stock firmware you can root and that's it, no custom recovery, no custom rom, kernel, nothing, and just a heads up there are like 10 threads where people don't read and have done what you have, you need to flash the Odin 4.3 image for you phone to work again, never take an ota, enjoy your locked down device now

My pleasure but all the thanks is owed to ThePagel, make sure to post your success in his thread. The more people that report their success with that method, then the less fear someone else may have in using that should they suffer the same experiences. :victory::good::good:
If you need any updates on the state of TW 4.3 then keep this discussion thread bookmarked.

I did the same thing today. The 4.3 update installed by itself!!! So i rooted it using Saferoot,
i installed rom manager, clicked the Install rom from sd card and i got that message. it will repeat that message and it wont boot. So i went into Odin mode and hit the volume down button to restart it. And after that it booted normally.
So basically i am stuck with 4.3? and is there 4.4 out for our phones yet?
also forgot to mention, it says my OS is custom when i first realized it updated.

Once you successfully updated with 4.3, you stuck with 4.3, there is no going back or flash anything and 4.3 is the latest factory rom for now. There's no 4.4 yet for our phone. There is custom 4.4 but only for people who didn't take the 4.3 update. Since they still have unlocked bootloader so they could load any custom rom.

Dang this sucks. I have no idea how it installed automatically then. I was listening to music the whole time. And I was trying to get a custom 4.4 after the update...

Any luck downgrading from 5.0.1 back to kitkat 4.4.4??

Is there someone managed to do it. I already read a lot of post regarding downgrading to 4.4.4, some says theres no chance to downgrade if you upgraded OTA but some managed to downgrade. So can really downgrade back to 4.4.4?? I'm really confused right now. Lollipop on my device has a lot of issues. Battery drains much faster even on idle mode it sucks up my battery. Game run much lagger than before. Already did factory wipe and clear cache 3x. I never experienced this when i was on Kitkat 4.4.4 and i really want to downgrade.. many of the user who tried to downgrade (Note Edge) have their phone soft bricked due to bootloader or something..
So is there a possibility that i can downgrade back to 4.4.4?? Thanks!

I was able to do it on my T Mobile Edge. I downgraded by following these instructions http://androidsigma.com/how-to-downgrade-samsung-note-edge-from-android-lollipop-to-kitkat/
I didn't use Sammobile though because they want me to pay to be able to download stock ROMs that should be free so I googled the PDA of the stock T Mobile ROM and downloaded it from https://www.androidfilehost.com
I got a boot loop but I fixed it by booting into Samsung recovery mode (stock normal one) and doing a cache wipe and a hard reset.

Hi! Thanks for your reply.. Actually i already read that sites(Downgrade guide) but the comments on that link prevent me from doing the downgrade because almost all who commented on that site had their edge bricked..
Bought mine at Singapore.. can i also used that T mobile ROM?? thats a stock ROM right?

You can stop the soft brick by doing a hardware reset which you need to do anyway after every OTA update. You can do the reset off of the stock Samsung recovery
And yes that is Stock T Mobile ROM. What model is your Note Edge? T Moble ROMs normally work on most versions

Mine is SM-N915G..
I already downloaded the stock FW here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/38097/N915GXXU1ANJ5_N915GOLB1ANJ3_XSP/
inside the zip folder contain N915GXXU1ANJ5_N915GOLB1ANJ3_N915GXXU1ANJ3_HOME.tar.md5 file.... thats all i need right??
In the Odin.. did u enable the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time??
Hard Reset means factory reset right?
Thanks.. you're my only hope now hahaha...

Will downgrade today. Wish me luck!

It'll work . Just make sure to do a recovery factory reset.

Thanks for your assistance! Managed to downgrade my unit back to kitkat 4.4.4... is there a way to disbble OTA witthout root.. its kinda irritating! It just stays at the in the notfication bar...
Btw, my games run my smoother now!!! Games especially emulator for NDS, PSX, Nintendo GC arent optimized on lolliopop.. But on Kitkat, it runs very smooth

I think you can do that through software updates settings on about phone section. Glad to see it worked. Told you it would. Sometimes you just gotta take risk. It was scary for me too but I just had this confidence I'd tweak my way out of it if I bricked my phone.

Need help flashing custom firmware this is kinda greek

A while back i managed to root my Canadian s6 (g920w8) using ping pong root? An app I downloaded from google playstore.. I used root checker and it looks good.. I am rooted.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is a few things u can do. Custom ROM and Kernel and recovery. Which I prefer to do. If you just want to remove the bloat download titanium backup

What are you looking for in a Rom? Better ?? Better ?? More memory and performance?

Well its taken me awhile but ive got time to do some time finally.. i put alliance rom on the phone but when i tried to make a phone call the was no sound on either end of the conversation.. is this a kernal issue?

think this is the best rom arround here alexis rom best battery ad performans
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/alexis-rom-1-0-feel-game-sound-01-04-t3349944

Just tried the Alexis Rom and same thing.. stuck on boot. I reinstalled Alliance hoping for diffrent results.. can text message but no audio during a calls.. ugh! Back to stock again lol..
Provider - Telus
S6 920w8
Stock Android version - 5.0.2
Stock Kernal 3.10.61-4808800
I am using TWRP v2.8.6.0 and am wondering if the version or kernal may have anything to do with getting stuck on boot with almost every ROM i've tried to install..
My procedure when installing a custom ROM is to do a factory reset from TWRP (i dont do data or format because there is no sd card slot to store my rom or backup image), install ROM, clear cache/divik, reboot to system.
Any Ideas??

Reflash any ROM giving you sound issues and then flash either hacker kernel or arter kernel as they are the only two compatible as far as I know. Once you have flashed arter kernel and then rebooted your phone. Reboot your phone back into recovery once more and then flash this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Gyz91x5k7gc2NBS2N5TFQwY0k/view?usp=drivesdk it is the call audio fix for our devices (925T / 925W8)
(920T / 920W8)
Just make sure you DO NOT FLASH THIS BEFORE DEVICE REBOOT AFTER FLASHING CUSTOM KERNEL. Or you will get into a bootloop and say this doesn't work. (Your system needs to build with kernel settings first)
Here's a step by step I hope helps.
1. Flash custom ROM
2. Flash custom kernel
3. REBOOT
4. Set up ROM.
5. Reboot into recovery.
6. Flash call fix.
7. REBOOT
8. Profit.
Hope it helps you and welcome to making your phone truly yours.

Another reason why you are not booting is because you are on 5.0.1
You will have to update the bootloader to MM 6.0 first in order to use 6.0 custom ROMs this can be achieved by flashing any of our latest Canadian firmwares. (Does not matter what company if you are changing FW after.)
ALSO you can use the advanced wipe settings on TWRP to wipe everything but 'internal storage' that is where the ROM is downloaded.

I had alot of issues installing custom ROM's.. so i decided to upgrade and install OEM marshmallow 6.0.1 then re-root my phone. It worked.. I'm running Griffin ROM atm but will play around with other roms now that i have a good idea of where i went wrong.

I do not. However I always have mobile data running, maybe toggle yours and see if it sends. Some of the new ROMS have incorporated a tweak that auto toggles data to recieve pictures and send them. Griffin AFAIK does not have this tweak yet so when sending MMS you need to manually turn mobile data on and off.

Hi guys,
for some reason after I did update to KangVIP I can't get rid off it. Besides I got no wifi and bt and I was going to start over with b023 as suggested but at this point I wont bother anymore.
I did wipe the system, I did advanced wipe using twrp but no matter what I do none of the stock firmwares are going through however the Kanga one always goes through.(KangaVIP goes through only in TWRP)
twrp 2.8.7.0
wipe
advanced wipe
I select all the partitions
mkdosfs process ended with error=1
unable to wipe /usb
unknown mtp message type: 1
unable to wipe /usb
I go back, restart to fastboot, (device is saying there is no OS installed), I restore the recovery, create dload folder on my sdcard, put there 028 (actually I tried all of them already), volume+ volume - power and I get error.
What am I missing ?
Anyone can help ?
Thanks in advance.

First you did a OTA from B029 to B209?
If so you are now on a Android 6 ROM you cant go back to Android 5 without a Rollback from Huawei.

Yes I did then I wiped everything and started with b028 again.
Same thing, wifi didn't work same with BT.
Wipe again and this time I did local update and since the local update I can't go back not even b029.

Right now you are on a Android 5 or Android 6 ROM?
If you on a Android 5 ROM you can force update a Complete ROM to install a clean system and try if everything works.

I'm stuck on 6.0
I know I can do force update on 5.0 I said it above I just can't do it with 6.0 -> b029, only with your rom.

Anyone else is having this issue ?
The Kanga rom got a quite few problems no wifi and not BT, Google play services crashing (this can be fixed with gapps) my co worker just tried it with his own methods and same issue. After I went through the whole Kanga thread 60% of the posters got problems most of them are ignored.

I don't have any problems but I think the people with problems are people who have a DAV 701L.

I got DAV-703L, just simple question, why is the wifi and bt not working ?
When I get into Kanga I can remove the root or deny access to it is there a way to ditch it ?
Yeah I know it's working for you and it's not working for 10 other people including 703L owners. There is something wrong with the rom no doubt about it.

I think there was an error while flashing and without a full clean Rom flash i can't see a solution.
Before I got it to work I flashed it more than 3 times and everytime everything worked so I think don't think the ROM is that bugged.

The first rom you introduced is working "fine" I get the wifi and bt no problem but once I switch into the latest build it's gone.
Any idea where can I get full clean Rom ?
This one is a no go http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/

I managed to rollback to 5.1.1 but when I try to force flash it, it says it's not compatible.

If you don't update properly to B209, when you flash any B209 rom you are going to run into issues such as the wireless Bluetooth and sim card switching for some. If you properly updated the dload method should have completed successfully. Look at the kernel and radio version of B209 in About phone and compare it to others and see if they match.

I don't want to use your rom even if you removed the Chinese it's still inside the system. Boot load times take much longer. Unexpected crashes. I did try it on 4 phones with OTA and local updates 2 are working but the Kang does crash twice a day minimum.
All what I'm asking is how to restore it to it's original settings, this was my worst mistake ever.
What I'm trying to say if I do something I do it properly just look at your thread 85% failure ratio that doesn't look like it was done properly does it ?

Really dude?? No worries, it will be the last time I do anything for the P8Max. Maybe you should just sell the phone since you're having all sorts of issues with it....or maybe you should have left it totally stock then. Or maybe read through the Mediapad X2 forums because the two phones are very similar.
