Sorry, I don't read signatures. That's probably why, updates dont like rooted phones.

Reports are that anyone that has used to "revert to MJ5" thread, is running into a failure between 25 to 27%.
This is likely the problem.

Further reports are saying that you will have to take it to an AT&T store or Sammobile in BestBuy to have them flash MJ5. Then you take the NB4 OTA and will be able to grab the KK OTA.

I had the same problem. After I reset everything to stock and even unrooted I still had the problem.(I think everyone who rooted has this problem) I just went to att device warranty center and swapped out my phone if they ask you whether you rooted your phone just say "no". Updating to Kitkat as we speak on my replaced phone.

They should be able to just flash 4.3 onto it?
Then again, why not just flash a 4.4.2 rom? You'd retain root, and it's basically the exact same hahahaha

Same here, not rooted and it got to 25% or so

To the people saying "I'm not rooted", WERE you rooted? I read somewhere else that could be the issue. I unrooted so I could update and it failed the same way as everyone else here. Please specify everything when you say you're not rooted. I read that someone who left their device rooted got it to update just fine but they lost root, which is to be expected but it did actually work for the guy. I'm going to reroot and try again.

Subscribing. I'm having the same issues. Was rooted, and update failed. Unrooted and update failed.

FYI I was stock. Kingo root. Then safe strapped. Flashed azure in slot one. Hour later hit back to stock slot then deleted slot 1 azure proceeded to unroot and delete safestrap and wiped data reset so I figured I'd be ok. Update ota kitkat gets 28% fails. So..I'm watching. I decided f it and re rooted and am going to flash a Rom for sake of waiting to see what happens with this failure as I should very been completely stock.

Failed update at 27%
I would say the issue has to be on AT&T's end. I had issues with my internet so I soft bricked mine during the rooting process b/c the file was corrupted. Used odin to revert back to stock MJ5 and then updated to NB4. I have tried to wipe the data for the download manager within the app manager, wiped cache in recovery, did a factory reset after getting updated to NB4 and tried different working internet sources just to make sure.

It's a device issue. Certain files that should be there are gone and files that shouldn't be there are there.
It's not on AT&T's end. It's local to the device software itself

On 4.3, scared to do anything

Ok, got a note 3 with 4.3 again.
No lies, not fraud, no nothing except a faulty power port and honesty and I ended up with a 4.3 note 3 again
Pant, pant..WHAT DO I DO, I know Kingo root. Titanium backup first. The opporturnity to use my microsd card again! I am actually excited!
And after Kingo, how do I not AT&T upgrade?
I am hearing it forces you after a little while, what do I do? I really want to keep my root!
I am so sorry to my Note Brethren with KK without any way to use THEIR phones. My sympathies are sincere!
Any advice appreciated!

Ok, so if I am at 4.3, and want to keep my root, is there a path to kk that still has root? I would prefer the non ss route. BTW, the main thing that makes me root is I want to use my Microsd card and when unrooted backup and other apps seem unable to access it properly.

SS is the only way to go. There are no downsides to using SS to use a custom ROM.

Seems like kk isn't worth the effort, you can't access the Microsd, the wifi Hotspot is locked off unless you pay at&t and all issues have been fixed in 4.3, anything gained?

Read in xda it's slow because it's using flash memory.

Not at all slow.
Your stock ROM runs on the same thing your storage does. The EMMC.

Got back root on 4.3, Sweet Archemedes this feels good, like my phone again!
Stock slot, would that be the one that is the original ROM?
Dynamic Kat looks intreguing.But it says I have to have KK first. Can I get DK working from JB rooted?

Indeed it is.
Use this guide. (replace the Urdroid KK ROM that he says to download with DynamicKat)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
Then head over to our development section and find the SS thread.
You will need both 3.71 and 3.72
3.71 will get you to KK with the guide. Once there, you will need to reinstall it and use it to uninstall the recovery.
Then uninstall the app.
After that, install 3.72 and use it to install your new recovery. That way you don't have to use odin every time you want to flash a mod or new kk rom

So I'm on stock 4.3. Mj5. I have rooted and I'm confused on getting to custom firmware. I've played with SS 3.71. But I tried to install custom Ron but was unsuccessful. Can someone tell me or link me to a thread. Please. I just came from a galaxy s3 to the n900a. I'd like to start with cm11.

1. Don't hijack threads
2. Only TW based ROMs can be flashed.
3. Go read the SS development thread.
You need to make sure you are on 3.71 when trying to flash a 4.3 ROM and 3.72 to use KK.

You can get the official Samsung Lollipop N910T firmware at http://sammoobile.com
Then all you need is odin, cf-autoroot, and twrp recovery.
Here is a direct download link for the zip file package containing odin,
cf-autoroot and twrp in case you need them:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/i25yjb1o97o96nb/CF-Autoroot & TWRP v2.8.6.0 and ODIN3 v3.10.0.zip?dl=0
Good luck!

Am rooted now to get the rest on here so can load OS'S ect just not sure which one to choose or which is made for this TWRP or what and we're to get it at?

These are the steps. How far did you get?

Help updating my Note 4

I have an unlocked tmobile note 4, tmobile is terrible in my area so I had them unlock it and went to at&t.
But now I cannot get lollipop.
I read online I can get a capture file put it on my SD and bam.
But I cannot find this file.. I can find it all day for at&t but not tmobile.
Before you start with the flashing and Roms and odin.. no.
No computer.
I have an inactive tmobile card, I put it in the phone but it says no updates so I assume it has to be active to pull the update.
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks

Go to sammobile download the update and flash via odin

Use this instead of Odin should work from your phone.

Looks Like he was trying to link to an app called Flashfire by chainfire. Successor to Mobile Odin.

Yeah you may have to join the community on Google + to get it.

Latest method to unroot?

Does anyone know what's the latest and simplest method to unroot the device so OTA updates can be downloaded? If odining back to stock firmware can be avoided that'd be great. I'm trying to get rid of some annoying issues on my current build. Thanks.
