The OTA for MA7 just came out today and it's starting to hit phones left and right. For those who don't want to wait for it we managed to pull the update.zip this morning.* We're posting it here for you to enjoy!

To flash this your phone must be on 100% stock LJC and unrooted. It can only be flashed through Stock Recovery.


WARNING: Some people are reporting issues with trying to flash back to LJC after updating to MA7. If there is any possibility you'd want to go back to LJC after this please don't flash it.

Download:

Instructions:
  • Download the ma7 update to your PC and rename it to "update.zip" (without quotes).
  • Place the update.zip in the root directory of your External SD card.
  • Odin back to stock unrooted LJC. Available here: http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...PH-L900)/Stock ROMs/LJC/Full Restore/Unrooted
  • Reboot to stock recovery. The "Three Finger Salute" works best. Hold down Volume Up, Home and Power until the Samsung Note 2 splash screen displays and then release.
  • Choose install update from external SDcard.
  • The device will automatically reboot after a successful flash.
  • Once booted up, device will display android updating in a countdown graph.
Enjoy!

Yes. This is the official OTA from Sprint. If you were to go back to 100% stock unrooted LJC you would eventually get the notification that the update was ready to be installed. This skips the waiting patiently step and lets you skip right to flashing. ;)

Once you're on LJC stock and unrooted boot to stock recovery and flash it from there.

I just checked on three different browsers on my PC and two on my phone and all seem to be working. Sorry!

In the meantime please update the link in your post so as not to be a direct link to the file. It messes up the data metrics I use.

For anyone else having issues here is the edited/corrected link: http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900)/OTA Updates

Thanks!

You need to be 100% stock. Meaning no root and also install via stock recovery.

    I'll stick with MA5 for now too. I have no complaints at all.

    MA5 was just a leak and not official. MA7 is official. While I understand that's not all that important but there's a reason MA5 wasn't official.

    Just an FYI if all you want is root you can still use CF-Auto-Root while on MA7 to regain root access. I just did it without any issues.

    If your still stock ljc then just flash the ma7 update in Stock recovery.

    Nothing changed in how you install twrp. Why are people acting like this update in turns the phone into a fckn transformer or something? Its the same phone after you update. nothing changes

    Well you gotta understand when people update there phone they wanna make sure they use the right root method, things sometimes change when there's updates so cut him some slack thats what the forums are for to help out each other not to bash them for asking a simple question.
