OTA or Sammobile? I can't see the OTA. Is it because I'm rooted?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Yes i too wanna know if ota has been made available or not.
There is an official 4.1.1 firmware release for India with the suffix of CLL5. Can get from Samsung download site HERE
The release of 4.1.1 is at a global scale ...
Just flashed the latest update via ODIN. OTA and kies refused to show the update.
I'd get any firmware file from sammobile. They are more trustworthy.
Besides that site doesn't even have the file.

Installed the same through ODIN flash yesterday. Had to take a back-up of data before restoring it.:good:
The fonts look really odd. Anyone notice they aren't as clear any more
Sent from my GT-P3100 using Tapatalk 2
I have a rooted P3100. I was able to install the OTA directly on the tab, and retain root as I could use Titanium Backup etc afterwards. YMMV of course.
I got an error message at the end saying that OTA did not succeed etc but that was irrelevant and probably just some ROM check from Samsung.
The tablet felt a bit slow during the first few minutes of use but is working more smoothly now. I don't like the new launcher much, somehow the stock 4.0.4 felt nice even after I had tried some of the other launchers. Hopefully it will feel better after I get used to it.

No you don't need to flash previous firmware if you are flashing full Rom.
You need to flash required firmware if you are installing ota update.

Hello,
Anyone having Wifi issues after the OTA update like me?
My Wifi on Tab2 became unstable
Keeps popping that "Connected to Wifi Network" Message, though Signal strength is very strong, Just few feet away from router.
Also does anyone know how i can i get the Lock Screen rotated to Landscape mode with the PIN lock.
Mine just stuck in Portrait Mode.
So far TouchWiz home crashed atleast once,
slower performance than 4.0.4
current JBA 4.1.1 sucks so far, for my Tab2
I was wondering if a new method to install the last OTA was out. I didnt feel comfortable doing the methods I saw before. Like doing a backup then going stock then reinstalling root. Im hoping there is a apk file and only needing to install that and be done. I looked and couldnt find anything but that is probably my fault. Lol

Easiest way is to download the firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43418277 then download the app mobile odin from the play store. Then use the app to flash the tar file and then you are on the mf9 baseband and firmware. Then flash the mf9 rom and you have the entire OTA update.

Seriously? If you are rooted. Just flash mf9 stock rooted ROM.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4
Like windows, the best way is to do a full install and not an upgrade. Use PC Odin to flash the official full mf9 md5 tar. Reroot it. PC Odin seems to do a more thorough job than mobile Odin pro app. IMO, back up everything then do a full flash. The file is like 2.2gb. Yes that patch upgrade might work but you will have better performance and less problems if you do a full install tar.md5. I haven't messed with the full zip cwm flash, so I can't vouch for it. I have done what I explained and noticed better performance than just taking the update file. Yes it's more work but I, and a few other people, agree it's worth the extra time spent. Titanium backup can help speed things up, but doing the full job is better IMO.

Which IMO the steps listed by crawrj in post #2 is still the easiest/fastest way to get to stock rooted MF9. But to each his own.
Yeah, I was ready on the mf9 rom, so just downloaded the firmware tar and used mobile odin for that. Haven't noticed any performance issues or anything, although I have nothing to compare it to other than different roms.

Ok. Here is what I have done and where I am at. First off I consider myself a noob. I am rooted with odex. I used the method from qbking77. My build was mdl on both lines under about phone. No issues there at all.
So last night I downloaded the MF9 zip file. Not the ones from craw. I used oden. I had to update the one file in note pad. I then put the MF9 file in the pda field on odin and installed. It installed and said passed. Now under about phone the build says MF9 and the other is mdl. No biggie there. Now the new rom is not taking. Im getting the stupid knox message and will delete that. My wifi is not working. I did read that a guy flashes the new rom and kernel and everything was fine. I go into twrp to flash the rom but cannot find it. I am assuming it starts off with mf9 in file name. This is where I need help and that help dumbed down for me. I just want the app to sd and the camera update.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
To get WiFi to work you just need to.flash a new kernel. Go with agat or ktoonz. You need to be on MF9 based ROM to have the apps to SD and the camera update.
To update your baseband you need to flash the update modem zip. I'll try to get you a link.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
I've had bad luck with every custom kernel. Some, after flashing, the phone heats up and won't cool down. All of them seem to make my keyboard flip out.
For using Mobile Odin pro, it finished the flash much faster than PC Odin, so I wonder if it did everything properly. With my previous phone, e4gt, it wouldn't flash modems. I don't know if it works or not with this phone. I haven't tested. Tested meaning purposely flash a md5 with a different baseband to see if it actually changed it.
Let me see if I can say this better cause I am a noob. I am running odex rooted. Basically stock. I want MF9. I installed MF9 and it shows that under about device. Now when the phone boots it is still running 4.2. 4.3 is not running. When i finally got 4.3 to run all my apps and everything was gone. I freak out and installed a backup so now im back to 4.2. Now on 4.2 and 4.3 my wifi is not working. So what I need help with is getting 4.3 to run and my wifi to work.

What the heck are you talking about? 4.2.2 is the only software available for the Sprint S4. The MF9 update does not update your android version to 4.3. It is just a service update to touch wiz to improve performance and add some features. 4.3 android is a work in progress on our phones and not 100% functioning.

hey guys... im on 4.3 MK2 rooted, can i install a 4.2.2 rom stock or custom ?? with 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
thanks.
If you updated by keeping the MF9 bootloader you can go back to stock. If you took the OTA however, you can only downgrade to 4.2 with a custom ROM.

but i can downgrade to 4.2 (100% 4.2) using a custom rom?? or i will be on 4.2 but with the same new bootloader?
what custom rom would work in my case? if you can give me a link to one.. there are so many here.
If you're on the MJA or MK2 bootloader, you're stuck with it.
And why would you want to go back to 4.2? Any ROM would work, but seems kind of pointless.

i downgraded the modem to mdc and did the unlock process. it worked, i can make and receive calls but when the phone is going to 3g i get a error message "LTE esm 29 emm-x cannot establish wireless data connection" nobody else had that issue.. i dont know if hte fact that my phone is not activated on spring is relevant.. it shouldn't be, because im using the phone outside the US.
i dont know what to do to make this thing work.. i have flashed from mdc to mk2 or mja like 5 times and i always get the same message.
So, not TOO long ago I used the CyanogenMOD installer app to put CyanogenMOD on my Galaxy S4(Sprint).
I've searched all over the place, perhaps I'm just not looking in the right direction.. Now I'm turning to you guys.
While I like CyanogenMOD I really don't feel as if all of the features you give up with stock TouchWIZ is worth it.
I would love to be pointed in the direction on how to revert back to pure stock.

How do you do that if the phone isn't recognized by ODIN? I installed CM using their auto-installer and now Odin doesn't see it.
My phone wont boot now and I am trying to re-flash stock but I can't find anything but .tar files for ODIN.
Try reinstalling the drivers. There isn't suppose to be anything but tar files for Odin. Like there aren't suppose to be anything but zip files for recoveries.

On Odin are you trying to use MF9 or MDL or MDC while it is failing. I think you are trying to Odin an4.2 tar when you were on 4.3 previously which is impossible.

Yes, I did OTA the 4.3 update, and yes I was trying to use a 4.2 ROM. If I'm understanding what you're trying to convey correctly.
Right now I'm downloading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567353
I shouldn't have any issues in this scenario right? I'm on sprint if that matters at all.
Well there your problem lol. You will be fine flashing that ROM, but didnt you say you wanted to go back to complete stock as in no root? You would need to Odin the MK2 tar to archive that.

It only has a custom debloated ROM in that thread. To get the full stock unroooted MK2 you need the file from this thread.

I did the same thing, no recovery whatsoever. Looks like there's no other choice but to reflash the stock firmware again and start all over again. Hopefully get back stock recovery, Cfroot, Philz this time.

What you have experienced is due to the restrictions put by the locked bootloader. If you check the baseband version in settings->about phone, it would end with MF3 or MK2 or NB1.
The firmware with these version have locked bootloader which prevents us from flashing any custom kernel or recovery.
The way to flash custom roms is using a different kind of recovery called Safestrap
There are some restrictions with Safestrap though. With MF3, you have to use safestrap v3.65 and you can only flash 4.2.2 based roms. You can also flash Goople play edition 4.2.2 roms. With google play edition, your PC will not recognize the phone though.
With MK2, you have to use safestrap v3.71 and you can flash 4.3 based Roms. You cannot flash google play edition 4.3 based roms though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 has lot of useful information for you.
If you are on NB1, you have to follow Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool to downgrade to MK2 first and then install 4.4.2 based Roms.
If you are on MK2, Deadly Venom Kitkat magic tool has a way to install 4.4.2 (Kitkat) roms.
