Need help with update after unlocking the bootloader. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader. I am on 4.1.1. I am trying to update but eveytime it takes me to custom recovery.
Can anyone clarify, where to find the downloaded update file? I would like to just flash it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Once you are rooted and unlocked you do not want to ever take an OTA update. If you manage to take the VRALL4 update you will lose root and re-lock your bootloader. For now Adam Outler and his crew were able to adapt to this update but there is no guarantee that will happen with the next update. Below is a link that has the verizon modems if you want to manually flash the VRALL4 modem.

I am on 4.1.1 and I wonder is there much change on 4.1.2 at all? If I update to 4.1.2 can I reroot and unlock bootloader again?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

The only way to get 4.1.2 on a verizon phone is to flash a ROM based on that version (Verizon hasn't done an official update to 4.1.2). I would suggest reading up on the 4.1.2 ROM threads and you can google the 4.1.2 changelog to see what changed. The update is pretty minor in my opinion but there are definitely people who will disagree and are on the new builds.

If it is not official now. I will not be going to roms. But on my phone there is a 7mb update pending and every time i try to update it takes me to recovery. Can anyone tell me where that update is stored. So I can flash it manually?

Can anyone help me? I think my question is simple enough.
Where I can find the update file in my phone. If I have it already downloaded but not applied?

What baseband are you on? If you are on VRALJB then the update is for VRALL4 and you definitely do not want to take it as it is going to reload your bootloader and you are going to have to unlock again. As for what the VRALL4 update contains apart from the relocked bootloader, it was a very minor update to the radio. I didn't notice anything different but you can google the changelog for the specifics. It did not contain an update to 4.1.2. The link I provided above will get you to the VRALL4 radio if you want to flash it.

You can't update rooted device u ll end up on a notification saying LG doesn't support rooted devices. Well I maybe wrong but try once, if u were successful in updating, yes u will lose root. I tried updating rooted stock and LG didn allow me to update.

Yes we got the h update, but don't waste your time, nothing special about it. The u-boot still recognizes an unlocked device, so that's good.

20H that's what I meant by h, in my opinion it's not worth it. I was on it for a little while, not long enough to do any testing.
I'm curious about it since the f update was mostly all bootloader related.

Yes, it will fail (if artas182x locked Bootloader cwm) you will need to remove it properly.
And you will get a boot loop with a custom recovery you will need to flash the stock the stock recovery first.

Oh, and use Nandroid Manger app to flash the stock recovery.

Yes, that is all that I do as well. I have had this phone since v10e and with every update I never did reflash any recovery but it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, don't forget to put all of the apps back that you may have deleted. And get rid of link2sd (unlink before you uninstall the program). And get rid of busybox. . .look it's just better if you flash a new ROM. Oh yeah and download and install voodoo rootkeeper then hit the save root button at the bottom before you do the OTA. Good luck everyone!
Has anyone actually got the update or manually did the ota and have gotten v20h?

Well I have checked my version for my phone personally and it has changed from V20F to V20H but I still have not received the OTA. I'm not going to force it I'm going to see if they are testing and I actually just got lucky with being at the right place, right time type of thing.

Yeah, I'm pretty confused myself about it. I have seen some complaints about 20f with the random rebooting issue and whatnot but nothing big. From what Kuma said it's nothing big at all. He said he was on it for a bit but not long enough to test it. So I"m assuming its still 4.1.2 but can't confirm just yet. I don't want to flash the ROM just yet but if I get bored tonight then I just might do so. . .
Whatever it is, t-mobile has the optimus l9 now listed as having 4.2.

but the good news is that it can be rooted with the lgpwn method. So let's recount here. I found this earlier this afternoon on my web cruise. I decided to download it and share with you guys. Now I installed the update and it's still 4.1.2. If it is true that T-Mobile is going to upgrade to 4.2 then this ROM is probably just a test until they are ready to give the OTA. So for whatever reason we just happened onto it. Don't fret my friends. . .once you get the OTA then we will know for sure. Hope is a good thing. Good night XDA.

I believe T-Mobile made an error. They have had it posted for like at least a month on their website that the L9 has 4.2, and nobody has confirmed getting 4.2. At one point, the listing even said the T-Mobile L9 had NFC as well as 4.2.
It still says that actually. Checked it today.

[Firmware] Engineering Bootloader N900PVPUCNAB

Here I have with me the engineering bootloader for our Galaxy Note 3. It is version NAB so as long as you're on a KitKat bootloader, you can flash this. I recommend being on software NAB or NABD already, but if you are on NA4 this should also work. Please note I will not handle support or take responsibility for anything you do outside of flashing this bootloader on recommended software versions.
[size=+1]WARNING[/size]:
This has the potential to BRICK your device, so use it at your own risk.
What is the purpose of this bootloader?
Well, I believe that having this bootloader will allow us to easily flash basebands in the future, as long as you don't flash any Odin TAR files, or take any OTAs, you will retain the bootloader. I do not know if you will be able to downgrade again in the future to this bootloader, but for now, you have it. It may also be possible to downgrade with this bootloader back to NA4, then from there back to MJ4. But, who would want to do that?
Who is this for?
Devs, enthusiasts, flashaholics, people that know what they're doing.
Who this is not for?
Average Joes, those who want to take very little risk with their phones, those who don't know what they're doing or what potential an engineering bootloader has outside of basebands, and those who don't like seeing a bunch of engineering text when booting up, into recovery, or into download mode.
Instructions:
Again, make sure you are already on NAB or NABD.
Flash with Odin.
Profit.
Download:
NAB engineering bootloader

You will want to be on a 4.4 ROM/bootloader already.
Check the general forum for leak thread alnog with the odin flashable TAR that is there. That will get you on 4.4.2 stock, then from there you can flash this bootloader and any other 4.4.2 based ROM. Since none exist right now besides AOSP, you'll be stuck on stock until the devs start to push out their 4.4.2 ROMs.

Did you boot into Download mode from a cold start? For the S4, a cold start reboot often made the modem flash stick (power down completely first then boot into Download mode).

Depends I have seen anywhere from 15 - 25 mins. As long as it's not hanging up anywhere let it run until it gives you an error or a success message. You could try moonshine because your on 4.1 and see how it goes.

If you do not gain s-off, you'll need to, fastboot flash boot boot.img
Using the boot.img from the Rom you flash.
Then it should boot.

I believe he's reffering to the one in the ROM.zip that you've flashed. Extract it from the ROM .zip - flash the ROM as normal - don't reboot, flash that boot .img THEN reboot

Thanks buddy actually what i did was relock bootloader then flashed 4.1.1 stock RUU then updated to 4.2.2 using three zip files and it got me what i need so now i m using stock android 4.2.2 which is fair enough for me . I will think about flashing after sometime as its always been nightmare for me to flash android os

Anyone successfully install safestrap after using Towelroot? I tried 3.72. It states it installs successfully...but I can't boot into recovery. :/

Do you still have root? I believe safe strap also needs busy box.

I thought safestrap.apn installs busybox.....

You're correct.
I myself just used towel root ..successfully.
Can someone explain why this is important we already have root. Other than making it easier to root without a custom kernel what have we gained? Sorry I want to be excited like everyone us. Please be kind

People that took the Official OTA , had lost root. So this huge for a number of people. [emoji106]

I was stuck on NC4 and had lost root. It's good to get it back so I can do things again like Tasker, Titanium Backup and Ad-away. Not show stoppers but definitely conveniences I had missed a lot.

And yes, I can confirm that Towelroot worked successfully for a Note 3 running stock NC4 firmware and ROM. Easiest root ever.

I can't believe how easy and fast it was. I lost root yesterday when I soft bricked my phone. That silly Chinese root crap had popped up a bunch of unreadable prompts and in haste I accepted the official NC4 ota when I went back to MJE.
Well worth the donation once I get to a computer. So freaking easy I did not need a computer.

Removing all the bull**** bloatware, customizing your phone both aesthetically and functionally, using stuff like Xposed, custom roms built for speed/lean-ness, etc
The list goes on.
so i was stupid and isstalled clockwork after doing towel since i thought out bootloader was unlocked and now i have the bring to verizion store thing. so im downloading the ota for odin and im going to flash it, my question is once i do it can i then install towel, busybox, then safestrap and be okay?

I could be wrong but according to Hash instructions if the rom doesn't have busy box it says to install busy box so if it's a stock rom you'd need to install busy box then safestrap.
