Vodafone UK update to N7105XXDMC3 (rooted) - Galaxy Note II General

Just updated from n7100xxdmb2 to n7100xxdmc3 this morning, well the update appeared last night but I had low battery!
My Note 2 is rooted and shows as modified (stock firmware) and when I check for updates it refuses 'Your device has been modified...'
So I'm surprised it offered me the update. Anyone else had this update? Anything useful in it?!
Thanks.
[edit] agh, ignore the subject, that was a cut and paste from somewhere else! The correct version is in the body of this message (can't edit the subject)

My update give me lte. Not sure about yours? But if I was you I would use triangle away unroot it. Update it then root with framaroot
Or just download the update and use mobile odin

Thanks for the reply dazza, mine's not an LTE handset so I guess the update won't give me that :silly:
I did get the update downloaded from vodafone automatically, even though my phone is rooted, I was just surprised as I didn't think rooted handsets got updates.

I think is an 4.0.4 update.
Downloading, will test it right away. Thanks

Added the "Quick Search Bar" to my homescreen. When I press it nothing happens (well, Google text turns green on-finger-down). No keyboard shows up. The voice input directs me to google.com (when saying facebook)
We are talking about the google search widget, right?
You can also long-press the settings key.
Tested myself :banghead:
Nothing changed there

XXLRK is still 4.0.4
Downloaded XXLRK today on my german gt-n7000 in India. Still 404
The changelog for XXLRK
The large 24MB OTA update does not change the version of Android, but the Galaxy brings touch to firmware version XXLRK and the performance of the Galaxy increases note. The search will remain intact! But there is a slightly modified keyboard with large distances and significantly improved writing comfort
Will this OTA kill root access? or should I rather use Mobile Odin?

I did the OTA update altho i did see it in the samfirmware website as well .. i wonder, could this update also fix the brickbug samsung said would fix ? Altho i suspect they would make a big fuss about the update if this was the one which fixed the brickbug, eh ?
I have it. Its 4.0.4
However i want to root with cwm is there a cf kernel for xxlrk?
Anyone noticed in XXLRK, power_profile.xml is mentioning battery capacity as 1650 instead of actual value 2500? decompiled framework-res.apk and under res>xml you can find this file. I don't know if battery usage calculation can give bad result because of this? or is it ok? Anyone with advanced knowledge pls.
Asian 4.04 Update
Most of Asia received the update to 4.04 in the last few days. I am in Thailand but there was no OTA update but the update was on Kies. Since updating I am still wondering what it was supposed to do as I cannot see any obvious changes except that I have lost root. I thought it might be an update to keep us safe from the brickbug but who knows? Anyone able to shed any light on what the update is for?

I use the Thai stock ICS 4.0.4 but I don't think there are differences, but this is only a regional 4.0.4 update.
And I didn't see any post here describing something new in these end-of-july-stock-ROMs.
I kept root the long way (coming from GB rooted, and installing the new version with Mobile Odin Pro, adding Notecore 13 later).
When you switch to a safe kernel you do not have to hope for an official safe update anymore.

[HOW TO]Update GS3 to Official JB update using Kies-India. No Warranty issues.

The JB update just started rolling out in India a few days back and this method helps you update your Galaxy S3 to the official JB release using Kies(Easiest and the safest way) Though people over at this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33921598#post33921598 ) do say the servers are sometimes down and I personally think this was take a LOT of time.
Also, This should work in India, GS3 owners in other countries(GLOBAL + US VERSIONS) can give this a try to check whether they have the update or not. No harm done either ways.
I'd like to thank jshashwat93 for this method as I saw his post on the aforementioned thread and that's how I got my update.
NOTE: This method is pretty safe until you don't remove the phone from your computer while it's updating in Download mode. So if you do somehow manage to screw up your Device, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
Here's how it goes:
1. Disconnect your phone from the computer, if you have it connected and start Kies.
2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
3. After this is done, you might want to restart Kies, and from here on, we shall get to the Update process.
4. Go to Tools->Firmware Upgrade and Installation.
5. It should ask for your Model No. Enter: "GT-I9300".
6. Now it should ask for your Serial No. as Shown in the 2nd picture attached.
7. Now power off your phone and remove the back cover and then the battery.
8. The battery compartment has the IMEI number and the serial number near the Barcode. You require the Serial number.
9. The serial number is written as "S/N: XXXXXXXXX". That's an 11 character number. Write the "XXXXXXXXXXX" in the Serial Number field in the Kies pop up. (Do not write the 'S/N:/ Part)
10. Non Indian users, this is the step that makes it or breaks it for you, the next screen shows you whether or not there is an update for you and from here on, the software will download some files(Shouldn't take long)
11. After a few agreements, you should see the software now asking you to attach your phone in Download mode.
12, Make sure your phone has at least 80% battery because I am not sure whether the battery is charged in Download mode or not. And this step might take a while. The phone, from here, SHOT NOT BE DISCONNECTED or you will spoil your phone(Brick i even. Don't know the consequences)
13. By now you must havee seen that all settings and apps will be erased(In one of the agreements) so it's better to back up your data. ALTHOUGH, here's the interesting part, after my update, I saw all the apps and EVERYTHING was carried forward as it is so cheers to SAMSUNG for that.
14. ALright, Power off your device and press and hold the VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON to enter the download mode.
15. The phone should now display a warning(Check image). Press the volume up button to Continue.
16. You are now in download mode.
17. Connect your phone to your computer and start the installation(The onscreen instructions will guide you. I couldn't post screenshots because I have already updated my phone. Sorry)
18. Sit back and relax this may take a while I left it overnight and slept like a baby(LOL). Though make sure, YOU DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE
19. You should have Jelly Bean after the update is done. No need to restart or anything as for me, it was already rebooted. And all my apps were carried here. Works absolutely perfectly. CHEERS Samsung
NOTE: This does not void the Warranty because it's been updated through Kies. So if something DOES go wrong, and you can't find a way to solve it on XDA, you can always get it repaired. Still, Don't blame me if the guy won't repair your phone.
Have fun with your new Update. Cheers
If I helped in anyway, Which I hope I did, HIT THE THANKS BUTTON INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING IT!!!!!!
Doesn't work mate.I tried it and I am from india. Nowhere is jb update available in india......also kies is the weirdest app ever...says no update...I tried everything you just mentioned...God knows if indian users will get it in this month or maybe next year(4.1.1)...as of 4.1.2 and multi window ,its like just give up,samsung is too busy to roll out updates...

Can't be. I live in Pune and I updated it just yesterday. Its working just fine for me. Try to see if your lies is updated or not. And probably it hasn't been rolled out for your location. Samsung, at least in the US releases OTA updates specific to locations. Might be the same case here. Oh and this only works on the stock ROM. What error are you getting?

I'm Indian too man. And I am on 4.1.1 just updated last night. I guess ota is rolled out to specific regions at a time so their servers don't crash so I don't expect people getting otas soon. Kies by default doesn't give an update either. This method is the only way to get it right now if you have it
got it...finally updated to 4.1.1

2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
Its on step (2), it says "Latest Version installed". So, would this still work, if i try to update?

Yes it will work.
You entered in Caps "GT-I9300" right?
See the screenshot. And check whether you entered the Correct Serial Number. All should be in caps and do not add the "S/N:" in the beginning.
So did anyone in Kolkata get the OTA update?
Also, this method probably woks but due to my slow internet connection, I don't know if I can stare at my phone that long being in download mode.

It works partially for Poland (T-mobile). It found an update, installed it, but the 4.1.1 for polish T-mobile version is surely broken. I haven't got bar at the top of the screen (the one with battery usage, time) and I couldn't set wallpaper (only black screen as background). I'm not an expert with this but I think it have something to do with odexed/deodexed ROM in the update.
I had the same issue when tried to manually install first leaked JB OTA. Good thing I could root phone and restore backup.
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS METHOD!

[Q] Note3 Unable to get Three 4G OTA update even after unrooting - Advice needed pls

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (International unlocked) and I have rooted it, and via Odin I have installed Android 4.4.2 (KitKat - it is the version from Poland since it has not been released for the UK yet). Everything is working pretty smoothly but Three has started sending out OTA updates which are needed in order to be able to receive 4G and I can not get the update because my phone has been rooted. To get around this problem this is what I have tried so far:
1: Contacted Three and asked them if they can give me the update in ANY other way, such as text, new SIM etc Three refused and said it is only available OTA.
2: Unrooted my phone by flashing my phone with the Kitkat ROM from Sam firmware taking it back to stock, but then when I search for updates, it says that my device has been modified. I know that SD cards can cause this problem so I removed the SD and rebooted but it was the same.
3: Did a factory reset, cleared partition/Dalvik cache etc then installed 4.4.2 - still says that my device has been modified so no update!
Is it possible that tripping my Knox counter (yes it has/don't care) can prevent OTA updates? I would have thought this unlikely?
Is it possible that Samsung is detecting that the version of Android that I am using, although official has not been released for this country?
Does anyone know where I can get the Three 4G OTA to install it manually? Would it be a case of flashing it with ODIN or is it a zip file?
Thanks in advance for any help on this one.

You won't need the OTA update as the XEO (Poland) firmware has 4G/LTE compatibility on it. You have to wait for Three to roll out your 4G properly, up until now unless you're in London it's only in test phase.
Poland 4G
Many thanks for that info. Will it work OK here though? Is it for same frequencies etc?
I am in London and they have started rolling it out to ordinary members of the public, people online have been saying that they have got it so it may reach me soon.

Three 4G OTA update - Any ideas anyone?
I have been in touch with three and they tell me that apart from enabling 4G in the phone settings and having the latest software etc I do still need to receive a specific OTA update from three, in order for their 4G to work, so I guess my initial questions still stand.Any ideas anyone?

Hi, I am in a very similar situation. I too have a GN3 9005, also on threeUK network. I bought the phone from amazon.co.uk, so I dont have any three stuff on it. I am also rooted and flashed the leaked firmware and so far so good. I am also a bit worried that we might not get the 4G update if we are rooted. I am also waiting for the official firmware for UK model on samfirmware, hopefully if you flash that you should be on the correct track to receive the update.
Can I ask which file did you use to go back to stock? And did you boot into the official samsung recovery and did a factory reset/wipe cache ??
Maybe the solution to your question.
Let us know what happens.
Note 3 Three 4G Update OTA
Thanks for the post. I am trying some things now including your suggestion and I will let you know what happened once I finish.
I bought somebody's unwanted upgrade on O2. I then unlocked it and am now using my 3 PAYG sim.
Currently my network settings don't show 4G as an option either.
Does anybody know if I'll get the 3 OTA update, even though the phone is running an O2 stock 4.3 unrooted ROM?
since your device is rooted , why not just change csc version to your country
On the Polish XEO firmware (custom ROMs also) - I get 4G without any updates on Three and O2... my device status is custom and I've not had an OTA update since the day I bought my phone in Oct and It has been wiped and reset many times since.. So not sure why you cannot get it.
OK I think I have gotten to the bottom of this now
Right here goes:
1. Flashed clean Android 4.4.2 Kitkat official Polish ROM from SamFirmware. Tested OTA Update=Your device has been modified.
2. Rooted via CF Root and then downloaded Chainfire Triangle away (the latest version supports Note 3) then run it to reset flash counter. Please note that I did not reset Knox counter only the flash counter. Tested OTA Update=Your device has been modified.
3.Booted into recovery mode - did a wipe of cache partition, Tested OTA Update=Your device has been modified.
4. Booted back into recovery mode and did a factory reset, Tested OTA Update=SUCCESS! "You have the latest updates" message.
So...nothing to do with Polish ROM, everything to do with Flash counter on 0 and a factory reset using the default recovery.
So I hope this helps you all if you are in a similar position, however for me the main reason for me to be rooted is to have Nandroid backups via clockwork mod. Within 5 mins of the above I had re installed clockwork mod again and then used it to restore my phone exactly the way it was just before I started. The fact that there was no OTA means that I am going to just wait and see if my phone picks up 4G on its own since in network settings I have the option of LTE listed. If not then I now know exactly what I need to to to get the update but if I have to do it I will have to set up my phone again from scratch and I really cant be bothered so I am going to put it off for now.

Three 4G OTA Update on rooted phone
Spoke to Three looking for 4G update info and established that although an update from three is required for 4G, it is not an OTA update, it is via text message, so everyone with a rooted phone does not need to worry as long as 4G or LTE is selectable in the phone menu.
Lastly the text update is slowly being sent to all three customers with a 4G compatible phone between now and the end of March, so everyone should have it before April.
Cheers.

So pretty much APN settings sent via text, same way carriers provide MMS settings updates then.
Hi. Thanks for the info. My problem is that LTE/4G is not appearing in my network options or indeed anywhere else.
Will I still get the text message?

Yeah you'll get it.
Three 4G
In order to get 4G from three you must have 4G or LTE selectable in your phone settings plus the other text from three for settings.
The first one is via OTA update.
If you are rooted you may get it depending on how much your system has changed.
Personally I could not getget OTAs so I downloaded Android Kitkat 4.4.2 from Sammobile which also comes with LTE support. It worked for me.

Nightmare. I really don't want to root this phone. I've rooted every other phone I've had, pretty much as soon I've bought it and although the custom ROMs I've used have been pretty good, there's always been something that has not worked quite well enough with the odd bug here and there. The stock 4.3 ROM seems to be perfect at the moment - no bugs and decent battery life. Hence my reluctance to root and flash anything else.
Surely there must be a way to get the OTA without rooting?
The only reason I bought this phone was for the 4G. I'm beginning to regret it. Other than the LTE support, I honestly haven't seen any serious differences to justify upgrading to the Note 3 from the Note 2, which is an amazing phone. I'm wondering if I might just cut my losses and sell the Note 3, if I can't use the 4G.

In order to get 4G from three you must have 4G or LTE selectable in your phone settings plus the other text from three for settings.
The first one is via OTA update.
If you are rooted you may get it depending on how much your system has changed.
Personally I could not getget OTAs so I downloaded Android Kitkat 4.4.2 from Sammobile which also comes with LTE support. It worked for me.

Just to clarify - my Note 3 is from O2, sim unlocked and using a 3 sim.
What about yours?

I'm on three as well and I did not get a text, I just got two OTA upgrades that enabled the "LTE" option in my network settings.
Got a sniff of 4G today while in central london N7 postcode.

I received OTA today. Check screen shot.
Ota in europe?
I´m from Spain. All of you are from India, but is there any person who has recieved the ota from an EU country?
I'm also from Europe, Romania to be more precise and I did not receive any OTA notification. I spoke with an online assistant, asking when will we see an update for Europe versions. The answer was that there is no ETA for Europe but to check the update info page located here, which we probably already do on a regular basis with no success what so ever.
Is it same as the one recieved in soak test?
Hi,
I've updated my phone via a zip of soak test to android 5.0.2 and it says its up to date when I manually check for an update.
Also when I compared the uploaded screen shots to my phone, I didn't notice any change in the Kernel version or the System version. So in there anything extra they have patched in this version?
Please do tell if any one finds out.
Unlock Modes Unavailable :/
I Updated my Moto G 2nd Gen to Android 5.0.2 today . ( Via the official OTA update , i did not install during the soak test ) ... I am unable to find Face Unlock and Smart Unlock under the Security Options ... Can Anyone help me please ??

Here in the Netherlands still no sign of Lollipop :crying:. It takes too long and the RAM management bugs are killing me .
I bought a Motorola phone as they would provide good ROMs and fast updates. I've never been so wrong.
Here I also have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus with 400MB RAM running Lollipop CM12 5.0.2. It has no RAM issues.
Running Chrome? No problem m8. Running multiple apps opened in background like music, Play Store, Google Calendar, launcher. Not even a single app gets killed.
My S Plus from 2011 is more usable than my damned Moto G running KitKat (something dies inside me).
