[Q] Error upgrading firmware to PDA:LJ1 / PHONE:LIH / CSC:LJ1 (AFR)

Hi guys, just got a Note 2 here. Kies popped up a firmware upgrade notice when I connect the phone with computer to update from:
Current firmware version : PDA:LIH / PHONE:LIH / CSC:LIA (AFR) to
Latest firmware version : PDA:LJ1 / PHONE:LIH / CSC:LJ1 (AFR)
However I got an error when the download is finished saying that the firmware could not be upgraded due to unknown error, And when I check for software update on the phone it says the latest updates have already been installed . Help please, Thank you in advance !

Only one easy check
Go to settings>about phone>build number
What is the build number? Is it ALJ1 or ALJ3? then congrats. You have been upgraded.
Or you can check by:
Long pressing back button on homescreen. If a blue 'lip' appears on left side of screen, it means you have upgraded its for the multi-tasking.

Hmm my build number is JRO03C.N7100XXALIH, don't think it has been updated cause I still don't get the multitasking feature on my Note 2 =/

I have exactly the same problem. All I have installed into the phone are few apps and two launchers (Apex and SwipePad).

An update is required!

This means your phone needs an update! I heard some has problems updating with kies , the last time I updated my sII was from the phone itself (by clicking "check software update" ). So keep checking from there! Good luck!
Update safe rolling out, it may not be available yet in your country maybe?

Tried that

I didn't try to update with Kies. My phone offered an update this morning (connected to 3G). It popped out some message concerning wireless connections. I turned Wifi on and tried again. Everytime it says you have the latest firmware already. I have tried many many times with no success.

Kies and OTA both have never works as it should, there is nothing better thn flash using PC Odin.

no i didnt i only wiped it after flashing trying to solve the s note problem, my phone is really tilting and i dunno what to do, tried reflashing and wiping multiple times but no use!

If you come from custom rom, then wipe data and cache partition is required before flashing stock roms. Else some part of last roms remain in system and can create problems.
You can also try by clear data of snote from application setting section.

i had same kind of problem with s note after flashing it with a custom ROM in my gtn 8000. It troubled me alot but finally got the solution by installing languages in keyboard setting.
go to setting>language and inputs >click on settings of Samsung keyboard>choose Handwriting> choose Input languages
u will see lot of languages to download.
download any one of them........................ wait for finishing installation...
Hope it works for u as it did for me.
if does nt work no hard feelings..

I had the same issue, reloaded firmware, clear data and cache with no fix. I thought about to do a factory reset, but just b4 I was going to do it. I suddenly have an idea just flashed in my mind. This is what I did.... go to setting > my device > S pen > put a check mark on the "Open Popup Note when the pen is detached". Then back to the home screen, pull out the S pen and a mini S note will open. Close it and now you should be able to open the regular S Note. It works on my Note 2. Good luck guys.

Hi all,
First of all i would like to inform you that this is my first ever post on this forum... or any other forum for that matter. I have an issue on my mobiel device.

The menu and back buttons have stopped working ever since I installed the official android 4.3 firmware update.
Other than this issue I have not yet encountered any other problems.
Can any one help or give suggestion on how I can fix this issue? And thus make the device's buttons work again?
Thanks alot

Also i have same problem. After 4.3 update via OTA my phones buttns are not working. I tried factory reset from setting and from recovery menu but it didn' t make sense. After that i tried to reinstall update from kies also it is not sense. Could you help us please. My phone has United Arab Emirates rom

I think i'm going to send the phone to service for repairs.
By the way i might try to flash 4.3 via ODIN, do you think it may cause any problems or trigger knox counter.
Can you please advise?

First i tried to flash with another official rom via ODIN, but nothing change, after that i tried to flash with leakage rom for return to 4.1.2 but my phone gave DEVICE UNSUPPORTED error.
Could anybody help me for my problem

Once u get the official, u will get the bootloader as well.
With the new bootloader, u r unable to downgrade in a normal way via odin.
But I did few updates on several N7105 through OTA, and nver got problems with capacitive touch.

Yes you are correct but in my country warranty system is different. My phone has other companies warranty. So when i call them they said sent yiur phone to our service. But i think they are not very experience for this issue and they can say this is customer mistake your phones buttons get a damage. Therefore i m sure this is software problem and i m waiting an answer from here. If nobody can find a solution for my problem as a last solution i should sen my phone to service

I can't download the 4.1.2 official ROM
I tried to download the brazilian rom ZTO at sammobile, but the rom is too big for free download at terafiles... A torrent address could help me so much...

Hi all
Service send my phone and buttons are working. But they downgrade my phone to4.1.2 and update section is deactive, know has a flag
After that i tried to install other 4.3 roms custom or stock but when i installed, i saw same button not working problem.
And also tried 4.4 rom but buttons are working. I think my phone has some problem about 4.3 system.
Now i want to use ditto or like that rom but i see same problem in these roms, could you give me some advice about solution of this problem

Try this app, it will not fix the problem but will enable you to use the phone without problems. You may even do so with minimal loss of display space by making buttons overlay the actual display and making them semi transparent.

Strange. I pulled the batt and retry flashing same procedure and file and it worked! Glad else will be sad bricking the device on day and can't claim warranty since tripping Knox.

it worked its good but most of the it dosent work

How can it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't? It means that this sw is unstable that's all.
Btw, after a month with my 7505 i think it was a mistake getting it, its worth adding this 100$ and get a phone that runs kitlat.
This 4.3 android is just not as good

I don't know why it didn't work the first time. I have had Samsung phones and rooted and flashed then since S1. So I know how Odin suppose to work. Else I wouldn't have flashed it one first day.
So this is one of those exceptions where I was stumped at least for 15 kind what when wrong.
Anyways .. All good now. As they always say use at your own risk.

The phohe has low memory. Its normal when sometimes you got soft-reboot. But after 10seconds, its unsually.
When its soft problem the steps are:
- factory reset (when it not helped do next step)
- go to download mode and flash your rom via odin (when it not helped do next step)
- get root and uninstall bloodware (when it not helped do next step)
- try custom rom (when it not helped its probably hardware problem)
When its hardware problem the steps are:
- maybe is bad connection between battery and mobil, try to remove battery and give back (when it not helped do next step)
- maybe is bad battery , try new one or from other Ace II mobile (when it not helped do next step)
- I don't know , buy new mobile. ( this step must help you)

I have experienced this before. It's the death of your internal memory.
Only thing you could do is go to Samsung service centre to get it fixed or buy a new phone.
Sorry, mate.

The restart problem happened to me for the ace2nutzer version of the rom I downloaded here:
http://xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/CM11/codina/cm-11-20150714-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip
Then I installed the ChronoMonochrome version and it managed to boot:
http://xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-fil...m-11-20150730-UNOFFICIAL-codina-universal.zip
However, I still could not get WIFI to work.... it seems that after flashing, the MAC address was set to 00:00:00:00. I know my router will never issue IP addresses to MAC addresses that are all zeroes.
