Everyone has to understand when using ODIN 99% OF THE TIME YOUR DATA GETS WIPED! Not your external data, the internal.

1) This is because you are basically installing a brand new OS, especially in this case, with bootloaders and a kernel, even if it did not wipe your data most likely it would bootloop or not even boot at all.

2) For those that care about root, I highly recommend not flashing this till a method is figured out.

2a) With root on 4.3 we have safestrap. I have broke down a couple partitions and there are more complex "selinux" integration with backup scrips and new implementation in the init.d scripts. What does this mean? Well, [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] would have to pretty much have to reconfigure "Safestrap" to work. There is always a chance that it won't be possible to get it to work again also.

3) As Android progresses, we are seeing a trend with security. There is already commits to the main AOSP branch that shows these changes. IMO, it's only a matter of time before rooting is phased out on many of the OEM'S. Now, their is always going to be new exploits and different ways.

I'm not trying to be a "Debbie Downer", I am just trying to display my concern with carriers/manufacturers. As Android becomes more popular it's used corporately and by government agencies. So these carriers are picking up multi million dollar contracts by ensuring mobile security, in return asking manufacturers to make there products more secure. In conclusion, always wait till Dev's successfully root new firmwares before you blindly start flashing things. Also when choosing a new phone in the future do your homework on the security of the phone.

Let's hope we can work together to figure out a solution to regaining root on the newest build. We should start a development thread to start working on it together.

3rd party S-view cover will work now. Look for xposed module called "S-view All covers(Note 3)" under xposed repo. Once we figure out root you can install that module and you would be golden :)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
Talk about a pointless update.

From reading this thread and the threads on the other Note 3 versions, I gather that the best way to describe Kit Kat is... "it feels snappier". That's the only change.

Thanks a ton to DG for bringing us the leak tho, dude is awesome.

There's only 2 ways to unlock the sim card. You can contact the provider for the code. Or you can pay a 3rd party like cellunlocker. Currently there aren't any tricks for unlocking. Sorry!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] samaruf:
I tried another method. Chatted with an AT&T customer service rep online and he just took the IMEI and unlocked it for me. It's always a good idea to ask someone in person and they usually can overwrite stuff that a computer bot can't.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Anthonok:
Isn't that a good thing?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] NightHawkUndead:
The update is great in my opinion. Phone is much more responsive and faster. Usable ram is incrcread. Lockscreen changes. And battery even on the first charge is great.

You guys are complaining about a leak. Just be thankful that DG released this and stop bickering.

Yes this update is minor as far as UI but kitkat itself isn't a drastic update.

If you enjoy being on the latest stock then take the jump and update. If you want root and customizable roms wait. That way the complaining is kept to a minimal level.

OTA & ART

I already asked and was answered but I want to be completely POSOTIVE that I will receive and be able to install the OTA when it arrives as it should contain ART correct? As that is what I am looking forward to.....

Also does the lock screen have the beautiful brushstrokes option like 4.3?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mircury:
No, Samsung chose to disable ART in the TW roms for the Note 3. The international version of 4.4 has it disabled too and that is the official version not a leak. No ART unless you are on AOSP for the Note 3.

Having said that, you aren't missing much with ART at the moment. There is a little benefit but not much. Some apps are still incompatible.

has anyone tried flashing any of these in heimdall? I think I will try heimdall first to 'try' to avoid Odin tripping any counters. Also, I'm going to attempt to flash everything except bootloaders. I am in the danger zone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
***This is what we know so far***

​

Version/Builds so far:-

MI1 (4.3) ⇔ MI9 (4.3) ⇒ MJ5 (4.3) ⇔ MLG (4.4.2) ⇒ Future (4.4.2, OTA)

To downgrade back to MJ5..and still have Knox 0x0. Follow this guide

1. No ART support on Official or Leaked TW 4.4.2

2. Unofficial S-View covers don't work anymore. (Workaround for it here.. But it requires ROOT & Xposed Framework)

3. Google Wallet still doesn't do Tap and Pay and host card emulation seems to be disabled entirely.

4. If you Sim-Unlocked before (on MJ5, MI9 or MI1) using RegionAway... You will still be Sim-Unlocked after flashing this 4.4.2.

5. Here are the APN settings that you might have to add in manually after flashing this (For people who can get Mobile data to work). Look here.

6. From reading International N3 thread about 4.4.2.....Leaving out 4.4.2 BL causes bootloop...and the only way to get around that is by flashing 4.4.2 BL

7. Flashing through OneClickBin.exe doesn't trip any flags...but it does upgrade your BL.

8. Flashing 4.4.2 via OneClickBin.exe or via Odin *both* method will completely wipe off your phone. (So make backup first).

9. Exploit that Safestrap Recovery used **probably** doesn't work on 4.4.2 anymore. [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] would have to update the SS.

10. Currently No Root for 4.4.2 (Universal RDLV and Kingoroot don't work). Possible but requires jumping through few hoops. Look here for details.

11. Once you upgrade BL to 4.4.2, you wont be able to downgrade back to 4.3. (You should be able to roll back to MJ5 but not to MI9. (Look above for "Version/Builds so far" for more details)

Why does #9 matter? Well because ..let's say someone in future discovers an exploit in 4.3 bootloader (MI9) that allows us to flash custom kernel/recoveries...people who upgrade now wont be able to downgrade back to 4.3 and they won't be able to use that exploit.

But let's say someone in future discovers an exploit for 4.4.2 BL then people who decide to stay on MI9 right now will still be able to use that exploit since we can upgrade but not downgrade.

So people who decide to upgrade right now are really taking a chance. And also keep in mind that with each update Knox/BL security gets more and more refined/harder to exploit.

[MENTION=766721]ryanbg[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] are currently working on getting MI9 BL unlocked or find an exploit that allows us to flash custom recoveries/kernels.. And [MENTION=766721]ryanbg[/MENTION] has made some pretty good progress so far.

And finally don't forget to Thank [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] for this awesome leak.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] chrisrotolo:
Flashing without bootloaders FAILED!

Thanks for the heads up, I knew I would be taking a risk. My hope was that I might be able to downgrade to 4.3,etc with old bootloaders. I should have known better. I didnt flash anything that would be in ODIN BL folder, aboot.mbn, NON-HLOS.bin, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn, and tz.mbn

just an update, All my testing has been for a loss. Long story short, 4.4.2 breaks root and no current exploit works, including Universal RDLV. I will continue searching for an exploit that may work.

To those of you that wish to continue custom rom support, DO NOT USE THIS.

To those who are not concerned with custom rom supprt, This leak is stable and is working fine aside from no working root exploit.

I would be curious to know what fixes are there, not being a smart ass but I'm serious. All I see are problems being reported, along with some changes to the location menu and a "snappier" feel. I'm sorry, but kit kat brought some big changes to android that was both internal and visual..would have been nice to get a little of both.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] antiochasylum:
I've got to disagree with you here. As [MENTION=3085273]chadrick.7[/MENTION] can attest I own both devices.

As I have never tried headphones in either device, the BT streaming in my wife's Range Rover is identical. There are no differences that neither one of is can tell.

Battery life, as I do not have data turned on I can go for 5-6 days on a single charge. Side by side, My note 3 without data both drain almost identical. I'd say the nexus actually drains slower. Its just suffers from a smaller battery. 2300 vs 3200.

And the camera, I'm not sure who's nexus 5 you played with, as the camera on my nexus 5 is far better than the note 3. Whites are white and not washed out. Colors are brighter and crisp.

Let's touch on displays, obviously smaller screen, better PPI. The nexus actually has the ability to hit 2.2 on the gamma scale while the note 3 is around a 1.4-1.5. Let's not forget the purple hush that the Note 3 suffers from as well.

Both devices have pro's and con's. Is one better than the other? No. Because both are so different yet similar hardware specs, yea the Nexus had cheap flash memory, so what. Its a 350$ device vs 750$

I can keep going on about both, but both devices are very good and both very different.

But as this is not a debate about devices, back on topic. Awesome job for getting KitKat already for the 900A. Wish the tmobile forums had connections!

Think your source can get 900T KitKat firmware?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] chadrick.7:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] designgears:
I can only get AT&T stuff.

I was personally disappointed because those lacking features are some of the important ones to me.

The camera is awful due to inability to take a picture of anything moving without blurring. Trying to take a picture of my 4yr old was impossible unless she was standing still. Color wise, it was hit and miss, the camera update they released did a lot to fix the that, but it wasn't possible to get a picture that wasn't blurry still.

And just to make everyone upset... iPhone 5S wins in those places for me and is my daily driver. /troll
