Actually I'm using AT&T version in India, device find network in very late and call some time going or sometime not,internet some time working or sometime not, I don't know why is it happened????I also chaged network mode to GSM only but same problem I face. thats why I'm thinking that if OS problem then downgrade may be solve my problem. Jellybean 4.3 also Knox lock and Kitkat also Knox locked then why not possible Kitkat to Jellybean downgrade???
Because of different bootloader. It's not because of Knox, Google made it like that I think. On every other phone is so. Like on Pc you cant go back from pre-installed Windows 8 to Windows 97. Try to factory reset from settings, you will loose all data but it may be fix your problem

Because the bootloaders are different. Samsung will not let you downgrade the bootloader and the bootloader does perform some functions on the kernel level which can cause issues. Contrary to what others have said it is possible to downgrade back to 4.3, however nearly everybody has reported WiFi and bluetooth issues when doing that. If you really want to downgrade to 4.3, follow the instructions in this thread. You can always flash back to 4.4.2 if you want. Good luck.

The first thing I would do is factory reset the phone and see if that works. If it doesn't, then reinstall the NE3 firmware. Other than those 2 options, I don't think there's anything else you can do.

Strange you @Devo7v didn't ask if @gulu20072010 has i537 or i9295 before you advise him to your thread to install i537 rom. :banghead:

My friend pls help me out from the trouble, now I can't installl Kitkat through Odin, its give error message and installation FAIL,then restart shown Firmware Upgrade Encounter. What should I do now???? I read many thread that same problem solve from kies but when I download Kies 3 and give the Model no kies shown model not found. Please my friend give me suggestion. My phone is totally stop workin and stop the Firmware Encounter. Pls pls pls reply me and suggest me the solution if you know or if your friend or any one knows the solution.
Thank you.
When flash with Odin you can not have Kies active on the computer. Kies will interfere the pure USB connection you need to have between Samsung phone and Odin.
Don't connect USB to any hub, only powered connection directly from computer!
Haven't read complete Devo7v thread, but this mandatory fact was not in his OP where expected.

yes to your questions. getting it OTA is another matter especially if you installed a custom rom.
and of course, you risk bricking your device once you tinker with it. but if you follow the instructions, especially Dr. Ketan's guide, your chances of success goes up dramatically.
That's a relief. If I don't install a custom rom I'll be able to upgrade OTA, right?
And where can I find this Dr Ketan's guide?

Of course you will get OTA / Kies update after Root, but again bad part is that, you will lose Root after OTA/Kies. So If you want to keep your Root intact, you should not update it with OTA/Kies but you can just use as Notice, when you get notice about new update, find it over XDA (this thread is for stock ROMs) n update it using Mobile Odin/ CWM
Chasmodo have shown you exact thread for rooting guide in detail, here ofline guide i have made too, download it from last link on my signature.

So, in case of the OTA update a rooted device will get "unrooted", right? Will that leave the phone in the same state as it would have been in if the rooting never happened, i.e. if you were just doing the OTA updates only all along?..
Yes it will lead to state of unrooted, M not sure but it may leave superuser application icon on drawer(non functioning). If it remains you have to Flash ROM with PC Odin to get rid of this.

I think yes, only not sure about the "flash counter" that I've heard on these forums. It may be an indicator of you voiding your warranty.
EDIT: got my self interested, did a quick search and found more info on this thread. After doing the update and going into download mode you should be able to see if your flash counter is alright

Thanks. So I guess things will be the same if one flashes back the original ROM and resets the binary flash counter. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Flash counter raise when you flash custom rom with pc Odin.
Reflash stick rom won't reset it, u need 'jig' to reset it.
Ics support a sw which reset counter without jig.

Ahh no wonder... I am on N7000OZSKK1 and was notified about a 70~mb update both OTA and via Kies to N7000OZSLA2 but no matter what I did it would cause an error during updating. I guess I'll just wait for a "rootable" update (and plus I can't seem to find a changelog either...)
My phone keeps failing to update. I keep getting "Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem.Try software update via settings > Software Update > Update or try using PC Kies later". I read all the solutions and ended up just resetting my phone to factory settings and I am still getting the same message. I am don't know what to do at this point. Any ideas?

I do not really believe this. Install a JB stock release for your region with PC Odin. Or install PhilZ kernel and then try one of the available Custom Roms.
If I believe you: so you read all solutions before and I d not need to give you the links to the sticky tutorials related to this.
Good luck.

OK, I am sorry, I guess I didn't see all the solutions yet. Yes, I need links. I don't know how to install JB stock release. I don't know what PC Odin means. I basically read that I must have rooted my device and now I can't install updates and that if I wipe the device it will be able to install firmware update. I am puzzled why factory reset doesn't fix the problem but please point me to the links where I can learn how to install JB stock release and whatever PC Odin thing I need. Thank you
Sorry, but no links. You are a member since Nov 2011. You should know about the simple way of searching for sticky threads in a forum already. If you are too lazy to do this, then you should stop thinking about manual updates and custom roms, kernels etc.
But you could continue asking for spoon-feeding. There might be other members here that aren't tired of this way of being a part of XDA and they will post the links for you.

I am sorry I don't understand what a custom rom is and I don't want any. I don't want to do any manual updates. I just want update my phone as my phone keeps.telling me there is a firmware update. I searched for the error message and came back empty handed. The suggestions I found said to reset the phone but it didn't help me. You talked.about some things that I have never heard of so I asked for clarification. Is it wrong to ask? Yes I have been a member zince 2011 when I got my phone. I asked some questions back then and nothing since. It does not mean I am an expert in find out about some roms. I.just wanto have the the latest update.released by Samsung on my Samsung phone.
To putnit in a simple way. Why not just bring your phone to a customer service center and let them update for you?
Since you are not sure what those terms means and your phone seems to be in stock version. Samsung will update for you.

first, try Kies.
if that fails try again.
Then we check efs
try dial *#06# and check if imei is the one you expect, it should not be 00049.
Then dial *#272*yourimeihere# and check if csc is selected. That should be the one of your phone. Maybe something went wrong with previous updates there. If you select the original your phone came with then a factory reset wil occur. be carefull, phones have bricked that way.
Now another ingredient for succesful updating is pcode, this can be found via a another code. forgot which one. Getting that back is to much work, unless you have efs backup of working condition. Which nobody has usually.
I would recommend going back via dr ketans pc odin way to latest rom for the csc found in previoius steps and in a clean way. Or earliest and update back up. Before you do that backup efs Search how.

The previous updates ran just fine.

Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance
You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

I will say i installed the drivers manually and just on the off chance i flashed it again with the file i downloaded last Night. I also flashed a recover trying to get it to load a recover so i could flash a zip file.

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

You can upgrade your phone but you will lose your root access and these some bloatware what you removed, will come back

I've never actually used Kies for anything (LOL,right), but I can tell you that if you don't suddenly remove the USB from the phone or your battery dies out, nothing can go wrong. Besides, even if you brick your device, you'll just have to download a stock firmware from sammobile and flash it with Odin, so no worries here either I've ruined my phone a thousand times xD

There's only a few threads about gt-i8200. Reason for that is probably that it's quite new compared to i8190 and no developement is done..yet.
No don't do it cause after rooting installing ota or kies update bricks phone because the installation stops at middle due to root I myselftested it sevral times
Hello,
I was interested in this myself. Reading around suggested that Kies would soft brick your phone, and recovering it could be very difficult. I looked on YouTube (sorry, too new to post links!) and someone has uploaded a video that recommends using an app called SpoofFW to fool Kies into thinking your phone is completely stock.
However, as has been stated already, after upgrading, you will lose root, and all that Samsung bloat will be back again!

Best way to update without any problems is to download the newest firmware for your device from sammobile and flash it through Odin. After that you can root again and remove all the bloatware that comes with the ROM. ODIN>KIES

Hey,
Recently I tried to root my Tab S2 and I don't know where I screwed up.
I need help resetting my device back to stock, I cannot flash the stock roms/images. :crying:
It keeps failing, there is also a 'Kernal is not SEAndroid Enforcing' text in red on the boot screen and it stays stuck.
When I flash a stock rom, it says "SW Rev Check Fail Device : 2 Binary: 1"
If you need more information. just comment.
Hopefully you can help!
Well first of all you need to stop panicking and explain what state the device is in and what you did that caused the issue.
Also screenshots say a thousand words.
So, I tried rooting my device using this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/root-cf-autoroot-tab-s2-sm-t3187202
and it put my device into a boot loop. Then I think I flashed it with the http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/kernel-permissive-lollipop-5-1-1-kernel-t3205831 but I can't remember.
Now since it has ran out of battery it looks like this:
blob:https%3A//drive.google.com/5dd4cf24-c9b9-4a91-b27a-e2d280356b9c
and I can only enter 'Download Mode' and it no longer boots past this screen. After I did those 2 things I tried to look for some fixes like using the Stock Roms for it, and Samsung Kies but it didn't work.
You need to fix the Google link, not working.
Which device do you have is it running 5.1.1?
Did you flash the correct permissive kernel first then cf_autoroot?
It's running 5.0.2 and it's the SM-T810.
I think that may have been the problem flashing the 5.1.1 kernel by mistake. Is there a way to fix it. I don't think I can get it repaired as the warranty is probably voided.

Thanks for the help, I'll let you know of it works ! ???
At the end of the day this is completely fixable. All you need do is simply download the stock firmware for your device and region from SamMobile and flash with odin.
Don't wipe anything just flash.

I promise you, you don't need to send it for repair.
You have several options to fix this.
The reason you get that error in Odin is simply because you are flashing the wrong firmware for your device.
Tell me the region you bought this device and I'll point you to the correct firmware.
