4.3 update frozen on Odin screen

[Ian Kiser]

I downloaded the official OTA update. When I went to install it the phone needed to reboot and now I've been stuck looking at the Green Android screen saying Downloading... Do not turn off target!!! and in very small writing could not do normal boot, Odin mode. I am rooted. Please help

Is the official OTA specific to the AT&T model? Can you get into download mode? If you can, then all is not lost and you should be able to retry the flash (if it's the correct one) or try another update that will keep you on 4.2.

I went to the check for update area in settings it came back with the 4.3 update. So if its not the one for at&t then someone screwed up some where. That is holding power up volume and home right? I can't get anything to happen. It will turn off for a second then restart right back to the same screen.

Ok I have my phone working again. I am not on 4.3 but its back to where it was before I started, which is better than nothing. After running Odin once and it failing like it always does (I have never seen it work) I was able to get the holding down volume, home and power button option to work and I just said no and to reboot and it worked. I then went into SuperSU app and unrooted. I will try to update to 4.3 at a later time. I am glad I wasn't the only one having issues. I usually pride myself on knowing technology and being able to figure it out.

Ian , were you able to get the update?
I can't, it is downloaded but I also get the "can't do normal boot"
