NC1 is not KitKat. Check about phone under settings. You are on 4.3 still. NC1 was simply an update to allow roaming in Canada.

Off topic question but do ANY AOSP based ROMs for the S3 support MHL?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jtcressy:
IIRC, when I had CM11 on my MF1 s3, I was able to get MHL output. regular display mirroring at native resolution (720p). This is a new feature with the AOSP roms, because before CM11 or KK based roms, MHL wasn't working at all.

I can also say that Pacman rom (latest version as of mid april) was able to output MHL, possibly since it has elements from CM roms. (Edit: actually Pacman uses a CM11 kernel)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiGi91:
I tried out CM11 M6 and it was a no go, couldn't find out any info on it and gave up on it I have seen videos on YouTube of MHL working on Aosp even tried the build.prop edit and no go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jtcressy:
Well, try pacman rom and see if it does the same. I was doing nighlies when I had CM11, so it could be that the milestone builds were too old.

I could be mistaken about CM11 and it might've only worked on pacman rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiGi91:
Will have to check it out, need it to work with my Pioneer AppRadio, running ML1 currently but wouldn't mind having a lighter AOSP on my s3 for that purpose. I will make a nandroid and try out pacman I guess.

Edit: Tried PacRom nightly 5/11/14 and no go on MHL. Will just stick to TW for now I guess.

Not that we aren't used to being last but US Cellular is now in the kit Kat mix: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...-gets-kitkat-ota-software-update-r530uvxcnd4/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Last just about every single time. No big surprise because big red likes to infuse updates with garbage we don't need and lock down bootloaders for our so called "benefit"

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jtcressy:
That's what I fear most about the next update. It'll be so locked down that it'll either take ages to find an exploit or the devs will give up altogether. As much as I want KitKat, I won't switch unless I know for sure that I can at least gain root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Verizon has shown time and again, they will do as much as possible to lock down devices. The scenario that you outlined is already what they do, since preorder day one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
More people would flock to VZW if they didn't do that. Well at least a majority of the development community including us members. They are just making more people who enjoy having the complete customization of Android look elsewhere. It's sad when a company could care less about customers wants and needs

This is the exact reason I'm leaving after my contract is up. Pondering ATT or T-Mobile depending on the phone deals
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
I second that

3 months and I am gone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
yeah I"m leaning towards to T-mobile because their phones have wifi calling and not locked down like verizon or att.. also they are upgrading all their 2g towers to 4g lte by the end of 2015 plus if softbank buys tmobile, it'll have more capital to expand its network, so by 2016ish Tmobile should be on par with the best of them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Honestly T-Mobile has done a lot to upgrade there network but they'll never be as big as big red. Sadly the only reason I'm still a customer is because of the coverage it's sure not because of the prices

Relax and stay on 4.1.2

With the way big red handled the OTA and Googles 4.3 bologne, it might just end up being "5.0 Licorice". Black of course
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Only reason I want it is so I can try it out for a while then immediately switch back to PA which will probably be on 4.5 by then.

AT&T S3 is getting 4.4.2 today. With them, Sprint, and U.S. Celluar, that more or less leaves T-Mobile and ... Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jtcressy:
See, now AT&T has similar firmware to verizon, so this means verizon is getting really close. They've even released 4.4.2 for the Note 2 on verizon (which was around the same generation of the S3). I'm hanging on the edge of my seat.

And, once we get 4.4.2 on the S3, it might be possible that towelroot will work out of the box, since it seems to work on so many 4.4.2 android phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
That's possible but towelroot currently only works on firmware from June 13th and before. Hopefully it indeed will work

No one knows if it will work on anything newer than June 13. If not, Odin is your friend!

Or, it may not be your friend once that KitKat OTA rolls out. Can't be too certain right now about how downgrading firmware, from KitKat (if we receive KitKat) back to Jellybean, will work.

What's weird is this is the same pre-existing firmware name for the second 4.3 OTA. Maybe they'll update this info again with a different firmware name?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Krusej23:
Has anyone gotten the update yet? Isn't there some trick to get it to update sooner? Or does Kies pull it sooner than OTA?

Indeed. KIES says the firmware is up to date and has the same firmware version name for what is installed at 4.3 and the new 4.4.2.

Yup, not seeing it on my phone or on Kies yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Verizon just forgot to update the build version on the support page. It's beginning to be common issue for them to have typos in there. The right build will be ending in either NEx or NFx (with x being a variable).

So i can still use the towelroot app to root it again? Or is there a specific one for the S3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CisternaChyli:
Have you played with the 4.4.2 update yet?

no the towelroot apk for the s5 works on pretty much any android phone with a kernel build date before june 3rd and even some after that date

nope still waiting for it to hit kies.. but got my s3 ready to snag that sucker when it finally comes lol

the root exploit was for most all android phones with kernel version before jun 3 and don't know if it will work on new update from s3 KitKat seeing somewhere it have Knox 2.0 and yeah I'm due for upgrade or end in Jan tho kinda miss my old unlock s3 thought before it died
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Honestly.....there's only 3 things I'm looking forward to with 4.4... Full screen cover art on the lockscreen, new colored emojis with the Samsung keyboard (and hopefully other keyboards as well) and paossibly a little better battery life. I'm kind of curious if there will be a way to get this working for custom ROMs though.....I really do hope so!

Thanks for the quick reply. So the 4.4.2 update hasn't hit any VZW S3's yet then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BeansTown106:
if u have an unlocked s3 i can almost gaurantee it will work might need a custom kernel to get wifi working but it should work. as for safestrap we will have to see

not that i am aware of
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] romshark:
I'm happy the update came out. Not necessarily because I want Kitkat, but because I think it triples our chances of getting those of us with locked bootloaders unlocked.

The way I see it, if we're really lucky, one of three things might happen first:

1.)Someone finds an exploit to unlock the bootloader in the current software.

2.)Someone finds an exploit to unlock the bootloader in the Kitkat software.

3.)Someone finds an exploit or makes custom update data to unlock the bootloader during the upgrade process itself, when the kernel is being written to.

Admittedly, I don't know what the odds are. 3 would probably require a lot of engineering, digital signatures, and all that stuff. But I remain hopeful, and I'm gonna hold off upgrading for a while and see if anything happens.

Although if we do end up getting stuck, one question I have will be, similar to TW Jellybean Roms required for current locked bootloaders, will Kitkat locked bootloaders only be able to run Kitkat TW Roms?

FAQs (please read before asking questions):

Does this build work on the 4.4 bootloader? Yes! It works on the 4.4.2 NA6/NA7/NB3 bootloaders.

Is this build stable? No. There will be issues (see known issues below)

Where can I get the latest recovery that is compatible with this ROM? http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963. You can also use the latest version of TWRP.

Can I update OTA from an hltexx, etc. build to an hlte build? No.

Is there any advantage to upgrading to the 4.4 bootloader? No, not really, unless you call not being able to downgrade an advantage ;).

Can I downgrade from a 4.4 bootloader to a 4.3 bootloader. No (you can thank Samsung for that)! The

only

exception to this is if you have a Canadian variant of the Note 3. Then, you can downgrade

Can I install this on an Eyxnos device? No!

Which GApps should I use? I would recommend the Paranoid Android GApps. You can them from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942. If you want the Nexus experience, get the GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE.

You can also enable some pen-specific gestures under Language & Input > Stylus gestures.

- Galaxy S4 Sensors

- Sensor List

- Sensor Readout

- Sensor Sense

- Sensor Test

- Sensors

They are all available on the Play Store.

On a different note, an app which can be very useful if/when you're wearing gloves is Galaxy S4 Glove Mode (it works well on the GN3 with CM11). You'll find it on the Play Store.
