[Q] How to Flashing the MJ9 OTA Firmware

[ryanskeltis]

Hi, i just bought my note 2 and ive already unlocked it and rooted it, i want to use a ROM that has 4.3 Jelly Bean like the N3BULA ROM, it says flash the MJ9 OTA Firmware using Odin. But on the forums there is a forum called "Once you're unlocked don't use odin to flash custom ROMs"

1. I should be able to flash the MJ9 using odin safely right because its not a custom rom right?

2. How do i flash the MJ9 update using odin?

3. Once i flash the MJ9 update can i still use non 4.3 ROM?

Question 1: You are correct.
Question 2: Download, then extract with 7zip. Put phone into download mode. Open Odin on computer and connect the phone. Place extracted md5 into the pda slot and hit start. It'll do it's thing and your phone will reboot and be done.
Question 3: Yes as long as don't take the OTA update from Samsung you will able load roms as usual

Once my phone is in download mode, odin doesn't recognize my phone. Any reason why ? I'm so frustrated

Check your drivers. If you've used casual, sometimes removing those drivers will help and by also installing updated Samsung drivers.

If you've done all of the above and it's still not recognized. I recommend trying a different USB cable.

sometimes it happen to me to,
if driver is not the issue, then try close the odin and unplugged the cable, plug it back then start odin.

Info that may help: I searched here in xda not on this device or I'd post a link, for how to install Odin and found that for each Samsung device there are some set of Odin versions that are compatible. I used Odin just now (took less than a minute) version 3.07 for my phone. Note that my drivers were already installed and working since I unlocked the bootloader a year ago. For others: it simply rebooted afterwards and all is well.

Hey guys instead of starting a new thread I thought I would ask here... I just bought a rooted note 2 on craigslist and it has the N3bula rom on it, but it is the first version. It is a little slow for me, so i wanna flash the N3bula 2 rom, but I am not sure if I have the MJ9 thing on my phone. Is there any way to check?

settings > about device > look the baseband version it shoud say like this I605VRUEMJ9

but since its already run on N3bula i think its already on MJ9.

Go to General Section and look at the Data Corruption thread. Directions are there for flashing a Stock Recovery. Do a factory reset with stock recovery. Try that and report back..I have a flashable modem as well so let us know..
