[Q] 'System updates' instead of 'Software Updates' - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have galaxy note 4 SM-N910G running on 4.4.4 official. For some reason I see 'System Updates' instead of 'Software Updates' in settings -> about device.
On clicking System updates, it shows a stock android like screen. Also, options like auto-update, update via wifi etc are missing. It directly opens the attached screen.
Do other people also see the stock android update screen when checking for updates?

What is your build version in about device?

Are you on a custom ROM? Because that's not how the update screen looks on stock touchwiz...this is how it looks on stock touchwiz:

Exactly. Mine says 'System Updates' instead of Software Updates and on clicking it, it opens the stock android like screen. Did not install anything after buying the device..so i think it is stock touchwiz, atleast everything else seems to be. It shows as the INU version in KIES. :S

Maybe those updates were pushed to another carrier?Watch out for the next couple of days and check for updates regularly....it will pop-up eventually.

No, the updates for unlocked versions are carrier independent.
Anyone else has seen this before?

Hey everyone!

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1

They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

Slidemeroot uses is older than ota, they are sending you the rom that cr modded(1.3.x). Upgrade to cr for new radio and it will go away.

Sounds like you've got the OTA many of us have had for quite some time. Take a look at my signature; if your build resembles my current ROM it's an older OTA. Post some screen shots as you did earlier so we can see the change since you've updated. Thanks.

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

Dude (and everyone else who reads this thread), please -- I'm asking for guidance here.
So if you want me to do something, articulate what that is.
I will transfer the update from my phone and post it here, just tell me HOW.
Anything else you need: also articulate what that is and how.

It was more than a radio upgrade; it was also a fix for other slide conundrums.
So you want me to apply this OTA update and post screen shots?

[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.
Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?
I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.
Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?
I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here.

It´s the same on my local copy, on the cloud copy I posted and also look here:

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

[UPDATE] I'm on 17.1.2.A.0.314 but update available for 17.1.2.A.0.314

As the title says, I'm on firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 but when I check for updates with my Z2 there is one available for 17.1.2.A.0.314. Furthermore it says I can only use a computer to apply this update.
Got the same thing here. Not sure what to do either.
Update it and see for yourself.

It seems like it's firmware specific issue. Have you tried to update/flash different roms to see if the issue still persists? Maybe the dev disabled too many things and it's causing incompatibilities.

It seems that after the update to internet browser 5.0 (that brought new UI) there is no more private mode.
I think secret mode uses Knox
@waterdaan Perhaps it's something introduced in Internet browser v5, as it worked fine with v4 and I was rooted already.
