I still on MJ4 Custom ROM. Rooted and TWRP 2.6.3.6. Can I flash 4.4.2 or I need to Odin it first? What I need to do to get KitKat? If I'll Odin 4.4.2 how can I root it?

Really Sorry for so many stupid questions but I wasn't following the treads with the 4.4.2 leaks.

Sorry, again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] averymlewis:
I'm having a brain freeze at the moment but if I'm coming from cm with an mj4 what should I be doing to install lol the in advance ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
No problem. here are your options:

1. Make a backup and save your data.

Do you have the MJ4 Odin tar already? If so, flash that as many times as it takes for you to become 'official.' Then from there you can take the OTA from going into settings>system update.

If not, download the NAB Odin tar from the newly created thread I posted, and flash that.

Once you're updated, you can download and flash TWRP for 4.4, which will give you root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
Odin this and you'll be on KK. You'll still have to re-root and reflash TWRP (which will trip Knox if yours isn't already tripped or if you're like me and don't care about tripping it) but you'll be on KK and will then be able to flash this one of these ROMs.

Once on KK you can then also flash this if you so desire

[MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] question. im on mj4 if i just flash the new update nab tar then new recover. will baseband update to nab new kit kat as well. i onlygot this phone last week . i made the mistake of rooting mi3 before updating to mj4. was a p.i.t.a getting mj4 to take the baseband update.just wondering if thats a issue at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cmdauria:
I think alot of people are in the same boat. I keep reading everything but I do not see a clear way of how to update from JB mj4 to this rom. I will keep reading until I find the answer but it would be awesome if somebody wrote up a quick little tutorial (explaining like we are 5) of how to do this. I would be willing to bet there would be a lot of "Thanks" coming your way.

Please don't flame me. I am not asking for help. I will figure it out eventually! I just know a lot of people would benefit from this.

Thank you to all the developers that make these things happen!

I have one more question, where can I get the latest TWRP? Can somebody give me a link? I'm asking because I thought on my MJ4 I have the latest open recovery but looks like I need something else.

Thank you very much for quick answer. For help and for your nice work with the Rom.

Can kernel be used on mj4??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Well Yeah, but...

Yeah, but these zips assume you are already on that. But you're a dev, so you're way above my paygrade bro.

I just write crap. Sometimes it hits, a lot of times it misses.

Like if I were to aver that the contents of the zip that takes you from MJ4 to NAB contains files like boot.img, I might guess that'd be the kernel, and other files like aboot, tz, rpm, etc, those are the bootloader firmware files, and that you'd need to package those up in a tar to make them Odin flashable,

I wouldn't have a flippin clue what I was talking about.

I wouldn't know how to do it at least. But perhaps some of that makes sense.

(I'm not kidding, I just looked and Googled).

Complete respect for you man. I joke around a lot around these forums, but when it comes to you guys doing the heavy lifting, I am deadly serious about my respect and support for everything you guys do. You get a lot of grief and make-work projects, and great guys like you have patience for most everyone. Just awesome what you guys do for us shlubs.

Anybody getting the insufficient storage space error? I get it when trying to do an app backup on titanium pro
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gavinKingsley:
So last night I tried to flash NABD over my MJ4 rom and after the reboot it hung at the Samsung Note 3 screen. I scratched my head and tried again assuming the problem was because I didn't wipe. I wiped this time and flash again and still hung at the same spot. I tried restoring my Nandroid and it hung at the same spot. Finally I wiped again and loaded MJ4 and it booted up like normal. I zoomed through the setup and tried loading my nandroid again and was able to get that loaded this time.

Did I miss a step in flashing? I'm using TWRP 6.3.6 because for some reason I couldn't get my phone to run 2.3.7 (a whole other problem where the recovery just kept rebooting). I know it's best to do a wipe before loading but usually you can get away without it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running Freeza's stock rooted MJ4 with TWRP 6.3.6

Flash the stock ODIN. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469902

Perform a factory reset from the factory recovery. (Solution found via ktron2g on the previous link.)

Place deodexed zip on device via USB. (once in Android)

Turn off and enter download mode.

Flash TWRP via ODIN. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/201

(I had auto-reboot disabled and went straight into TWRP via battery pull.)

Install zip via TWRP.

Yes, you need to be on MI5 firmware first. D/l link for that is also in the OP

Feels so weird but I might actually keep this phone 100% stock as far as ROM's unless someone does just a stock type build like MeanROM or other builds like that with performance and stuff.

So flashing from the Tar through Odin is the only way huh? Well this has just turned into a weekend project since I have to setup the phone from scratch just the way I like it.

Couple questions: does flashing through Odin wipe the internal storage? I've never done it that way before. And what's the best root method these days? I used cf-autoroot when I first got the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
odin doesnt wipe anything to my knowledge, so your internal storage is ok. I did it and had no issue. This is what I did and it may or may not be the correct method. I used Odin, not mobile Odin, for the Home tar (NAB, listed in another thread), then I used Odin for TWRP kitkat also in another thread. I then used Odin to flash engineering bootloader. Then went into twrp and wiped system, cache and dalvik. then in twrp flash NABD zip, 4 in 1 reboot NAB, NAB hotspot test 3. I can confirm it works. I did notice my phone will freeze and then I'm forced to reboot, anyone know why that may occur?

That's exactly right, Odin for the small open bootloader tar file wipes nothing. It only adds, does not detract.

That stated, it is always a good to back up the contents of your internal and external storage.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Here is a method...

Download the proper recovery of choice, download tar file from the OP of that thread, very PC Odin ready, have superuser ready, then...

1. Backup the entire contents of your internal and external SD cards, call logs, contacts, etc

1A. Optional, factory reset your device while still on MJ4

2. Have NAB tar file ready on PC, plug phone in USB port to make sure your PC recognizes it, fire up PC Odin (right click on exe file, run as administrator), power phone off, then power up into download mode (volume down + home + power button), plug device into PC, Odin says hello, load tar NAB into PDA slot, take a deep breath, click start

3. Go through first boot, bypass stuff like setting up your phone, then if you are going to NABD, have that upgrade file on your external SD card, then update from stock recovery

4. Flash recovery of choice from PC Odin

5. Boot immediately into recovery you just flashed

6. Flash from device root file zip

7. Profit

Now you have the ability to flash any of the stock roms that freeza has posted.

Hope this helps.

My first most recent guess was that it had extra disability options, which was wrong.

So, here's my latest observations, of little or no use whatsoever...

1. There is a letter D in the build number, baseband, all those things under about phone, whereas these same items on NAB are all missing the D

2. The manifest for all of the stock files have a build number of NABD, whereas the manifest for the stock files on NAB are at the build number NAB, with no D.
