I've got the Sheep ROM.
How would I go about getting and installing this? I can't do OTA upgrades because they don't come because I have a Custom ROM.
I can't do Kies, because it says it can't do SW updates.
Are you using a Custom ROM?

I wiped all (which you must do if coming from an odex'd rom) and installed Cassies V4 Rom with the new build and modem....then Abyssnote kernel?
Even without kernel...you can tell right off the build is a big stepup.

Don't think I answered your?
There's a thread in Dev section that has the link to the files

You can put on your phone and flash from recovery.

This soft is an improvement. It's far from satisfactory( android is still choppy as hell comparing to other OSes) but it's a step in the right direction.
I can report a better Wi-Fi range - I'm getting signal in some places in my house where I couldn't before.

No choppiness here...thing flies.

Does stock browser power saving levels works (any change in screen brightness)?
For me it worked well in KKA but not in KL3 .
Please test this for me.
Thank you.

If you change the cache to low quality it won't lag at all.

KLx series has problem with STK. I always get FC with my STK film. But I do not have any problem with KK1.

Confirmed. KL3 feels a bit faster.

This update has made a massive difference for me. I'm using ADW and widgetlocker and the phone now feels properly connected to my inputs on the screen, lag is pretty much gone. Much happier with the feel of the phone now.
I flashed through CWM and installed CFroot kernel for KL3 at the same time.

This things screams compared to KKA. I lost pinch to zoom in my Gmail Client. Anybody have any ideas about that?

Is this an update that we will get OTA? And what region are you guys in?

Hi LordManhattan,
When I tried OTA, it says that my software is up to date. But when I connected my Note with Kies, it told me that there is a KL3 update. (From the Philippines but currently located in India).
For the record, I havent updated the software yet. Will do so by the weekend.

Updating via Kies
Question:
How do you update GNote via Kies? Is it through Kies Air? If it is through Kies Air, how? I do not see any Check Update button.
Or do I need to connect my Note to my computer via USB?
Thanks!

Ensure USB debugger is off, connect phone via USB. Launch kies. Wait for pop up. Check if you have the latest Kies if needed.

Damnit. Running Ubuntu, so no Kies for me. Anything else i can do?

Can't install Samsung update

I got a message last night on my note that there is a firmware update available. I've got a GT-N7000 on AT&T and am running a rooted stock ROM with CWM. When I try to install the update it reboots the phone and then tells me "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre". The update is 101MB. I did a search and didn't see any other posts about this so thought I'd ask if anyone knows what the update is and how I can get it installed.
Thanks.

Its probably because your rooted. I was on a rooted rom and flashed the stock kka firmware my phone came with then updated without a problem. I did't try to update while being rooted though.

You could just flash a stock rooted rom of the update. The update is the Lc1 firmware.

Look for OTA rootkeeper on the market. Never tried it but some people that they could update OTA and keep their root
From xda-premium to Tapatalk

I have the same problem. I'm on the international Note (in UK), have rooted the phone for titanium backup and autostarts (I've deleted some bloatware and frozen others), but haven't played around with custom roms or flashing because I don't really know about that sort of stuff. Also, the firmware update here is 73.5 mb.
Tried ota app, but that doesn't really make a difference and it's only intended to keep root if an already successful ota update has unrooted the phone. Our problem is the the update isn't completing successfully.
I'm worried that the upcoming ICS update won't work either.
Any solutions would be massively appreciated, especially if they don't involve flashing or doing a factory reset.
Thanks

If you've played around with /system, you won't be able to OTA for the most part, as these updates are patches and expect to find an untouched /system partition.

I tried OTA Rootkeeper but no luck. Is there a way to back up my apps and settings such that I could easily restore them after flashing a stock ROM that includes the update?

Note 5110 USA Software Update today

Just for your info. When I woke up today I found that my Note N5110 has downloaded a new firmware update ans is asking for install. The firmware is 164.63 Mb. Of course I didn't installed because my tablet is rooted with civato custom kernel. Just be careful!

Mine is not rooted and still running original ROM. update was already downlaoded and just needed reboot and 5 minutes later back up !
Only info was that it had better stability..

Mine is rooted with custom recovery twrp installed, exposed framework, tweakbox, app options, and a few apps set up at 160dpi. When checking for an update the device tells me that my device has been modified and updates are not available. So I guess I have nothing to worry about

The pronlem is that when I try to check for software updates the device do not find anything but after a while in the notification bar appears even though I restart the tablet. My fear is to loose root after install the update.

Be carefull you will lost root, I did, and now I cant root!!! framaroot is not working any more!!

I'm sorry dude but thanks you for your response. That was the reason I open this threat, to avoid people loosing root in their Notes 8.0 after this update.

Yes, mine works fine too, but you should reboot after root restoration.

Just pulled this update now. Assuming its not 4.2.2? I saw 164MB and thought . . . maybe.
Shouldn't be too long though, didn't they claim 4.2.2 for a few other devices in June-July? :fingers-crossed:

Used voodoo ota root keper and went ahead and downloaded! Worked like a charm! Thanks guys!

Definitely not 4.2.2. Don't see what's different.

Unrooting the old version works perfectly. But you will not be able to root with Framaroot after you did the update...

Confirmed CF-Auto-Root worked...THANKS!

FYI it may refuse to update because "device is modified" when it is unmodified. Fix is simple... Shutdown, remove sdcard, boot up and update. Replace sdcard later and all is good.
This is for those that are being mistakenly notified that their system is modified. I hope this saves someone some time.

I can confirm that CF-Root works with the new firmware. Just to play I downloaded the new firmware (MF1) and installed via Kies then applied CF-Root with Odin and my Note 8.0 is now rooted with the last software update version.

for us non-rooted folks, does anyone know what the update does. All it said was "stability improvements"

This didn't help on a friend's. His was rooted the exact same as mine. We tried unrooting, voodoo, factory reset, with and without sd... nothing works. Keeps saying it can't update because the device is modified. Anyone have any ideas? It was rooted with framaroot... no idea what else to do.

Use KIES on PC. Connect the tablet and see if the update is available, if so update it with KIES.

Possible to disable android os autoupdate?

Might be an answered question. Was just wondering if there's anyway to disable the autoupdate. I like my S4 the way it is right now and don't want any chance that it might autoupdate to android 4.3 which can mess up rooting etc even though i have rootkeeper. At least til issues with new android ver are all clear. So anyway to disable this auto os update? thnx..

Your rooted that's enough to disable I believe cus it wont update if modified. .I might be wrong

Rooted my nexus 10 and that didn't prevent it from dnlding the update. At least it has the decency not to go ahead w installing the downloaded update. Now I hv this constant notification on the status bar to install it. Don't want this to happen also to S4

4.3 is at least 1-2 months away so I doubt you need to do this. And got a blunt is mostly right. Being rooted will not allow the installation to happen. It will download the update and tell you have a system update but it won't install on its own.

So any danger of me inadvertently clicking on the update notification and update happens and wiping out my settings? or rooting won't let it updated at all and to update you have to go back to stock first?

The only way of being able to update its just having a rooted phone with no mods in someway and also having stock recovery, if you are rooted with a custom rom or mods and have a different recovery then yes if you click the update accidently then you wont have no problem what so ever its just going to abort.

On my rooted S4 (CF-auto-root), I also have TWRP recovery installed. So this would qualify then as a different recovery? Additionally i also got MF9HotspotMod-Odexed and international SIM unlock on there. So i am guessing all this should be enough to prevent any update?

OTAs won't flash in custom recoveries. If you for some reason hit install update it would boot into recovery and try to install but fail.

software update

I just recently rooted and put a ROM on my phone. Like a few days ago.
Just the other day, it looks at though Verizon has rolled out an update. How can I get rid of the notification on my phone without installing it?
Also, will I have to put a new ROM on it now that there is an update?

I assume you're running Muniz's OA8 rom, so you could either update to the OC4 rom that is rooted or delete or freeze, I suggest freeze, using Titanium Backup. I'm not sure what it's called but check for something started with either software update or Verizon with software update somewhere in the title.

If you're on a stock rooted rom, you can take the update and keep root. It won't update though if it's not mostly stock. From what I'm seeing, OC4 is more fluid, faster and has better battery, so it would be worth it if you're not looking toward a more customized ROM.

I'm using G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM with G900V_OA8_TetherAddOn.zip Will this take the update without any problems?

As long as you didn't make any larger changes it should work fine. You could try the OTA anyway and if it doesn't work you should still be fine.

It won't work with tether, but there's a thread by muniz about installing the update, where you can find the tether removal. Or you could just flash his stock rooted OC4 from the same thread.

Can I add tether after taking the update?

You'd have to flash back to a Kitkat kernel, install the tether ZIP via Safestrap then flash the Lollipop kernel back to the device. Should be good as gold.
