[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drathian1:
I'm rooted on 4.4.2 without knox tripped. Anyone have a guide to update to this latest update without tripping knox and staying rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stash9123:
im currently uploading the files if you flash just the system using mobile oin pro you should be able to inject root just like we did coming from 4.3

im actually installing the system with odin using old bootloader to make sure it all works ok system functions great with old bootloader check out my thread sorry if this shouldnt be like this

Wait, the new update adds Download Booster?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] satru:
Here we go... also the voLTE enable in the menu when be available for use. I found the download and upload more fast, and the communication stable for now not drop comm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
Nice! I'm currently on Vision Nx3 ROM so I'll wait for it to be integrated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
yes it does, it does not however install a new modem, still nb4 baseband
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] slick4mitch:
So, what's this right here? Is this guy lying?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2760743

He posted the new kernel and modem from Tmo new update NE6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
I'm sure he pulled it from the update, so no I would not accuse him of lying. I did flash that as well, but it does not change the baseband. Now, it is possible they tweaked the modem because of enabling VoLte, but for some reason did not put a new build code on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
I could never understand what the non-HLOS file is for. Can anyone shed some light on that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] slick4mitch:
As long as it fixes the data dropping, then I really dont care about baseband names ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
All I'm saying is that it may or may not, since there is no indication of a change to the modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
If you updated correctly, the baseband/modem should become N900tUVUDNE6. Also included is kids mode and yes native download booster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
I did update correctly, even Kies indicates the phone is still nb4, see attached photo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Something didn't update correctly on yours. Kies only really checks PDA and then displays whatever else is on your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
then if you have a screeshot to prove that the new modem is NE6 post it.

EDIT: I'm flashing again through Odin, maybe you're right, I'll Post results when done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
It's really not a big deal. You can always flash the new modem with ODIN if you're not rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Just trying to help you out and stop misinformation from spreading.

Try initialization and recovery in kies.. might fix it or just flash the new modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
Thanks. I stand corrected. That's the wierd thing, I did flash the modem. no matter how i flash it, baseband wont change
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] corwest:
Interesting. I've odin'd the new firmware twice and it wont flash the modem. Also flashed over Infamous and im still getting the phone process FC on boot. Something isn't flashing. It also still hs all me apps and data when it boots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
same here, I'm currently doing another flash, this time I went into philz recovery first and wiped everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] corwest:
Not too up to date on Odin but on my S2 when you odin'd a firmware it brought you back to fresh out of factory status. Wiped internal SD and the works. This does not seem to do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] satru:
the base band is updated it is confirmed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
So I decided to take the plunge and ODIN up without stripping out the bootloader.

Well, good news - The bootloader still is *NOT LOCKED* on the SM-N900T variant. Easily re-rooted with CF-Auto-Root, re-installed TWRP 2.7.0.1,, all seems well. Only thing I haven't tried is whether or not the Downlooad Booster works with custom kernels, but I suspect it won't. BTW, Download booster works really well!

Anywho, just wanted to let you all know. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevetrooper:
When you used ODIN, did it wipe your phone or did it keep all of your settings, apps, etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
Everything was kept data and setting wise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:
has anyone who is rooted been able to get the baseband to update? How did you do it if so?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
Thanks for taking the plunge man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
lol...someone had to do it ;)

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

I've noticed if you're rooted, you'll need to use "Triangle Away" before you can update your baseband. Just a quirk. Give it a shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Odin to stock NB4.. then use kies to update to NE6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
So, with the update comes the following:

1) Knox 2.0 (which I promptly froze)

2) New Bootloader which is still UNLOCKED on the N900T.

3) Kid Mode

4) Download Booster - Uses both wifi and LTE connections to boost speed for downloads >30mb

5) VoLTE enabled, but only works in markets where VoLTE is available

6) New Kernel - Seems to have fixed the core sticking issue (at least that I can tell right now). Interestingly, Trickster sees lots of io schedulers and cpu governors available by default...hmmmm

7) New Baseband (NE6) - Seems to have fixed the data drop-outs

8) New WiFi firmware - Seems speedier, although it may be the placebo effect...too early to tell.

That's all I can see thus far....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gregcapps:

If I buy a note 3 now is their still a chance it will be on 4.3 or should just keep my note 2 which is still on the old bootloader. I plan on buying a new note 4 in the future so I was going to keep the note 2 as a backup phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
There is no official Samsung website for files... Sammobile is 3rd party.

It won't trip anything as long as you don't flash a custom kernel or recovery after. Use Odin 1.85, 3.09/3.08 (they'll all work)

downgrade to JB?

Hi,

I am on JB. TWRP 2.6 with Tweaked ROM. If i update to stock KK through ODIN would I be able to downgrade to JB through ODIN or is it that once upgraded to KK there is no way back to JB?

Or is it possible to install KK ROMs via TWRP without blocking out future JB downgrade option?

Not worried about KNOX tripping or warranty etc.

Tried searching forums but couldn't find the definitive answer

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eduardmc:
ok my phone is not rooted, pure stock. would really like to have this update but when i use KIES it says that is not a firmware update is a full firmware install which will delete my phone completly. Any idea on how to just do an update.

It won't delete anything. It will just upgrade the system files. It should not wipe user data. It didn't with me.

So I ran the upgrade from KIES, everything thing went fine it rebooted. I have data and i can text. However i cannot make a phone call. It starts to dial then the phone just hangs up on its own... came from stock, not rooted, Any ideas?

swapped sims with a friend, could not call. Doing a factory reset now to test.

Reset did the trick. Not sure what that was all about. Confirmed its on NE6 and the votle settings and download booster are there.

Do you have any updates on this? I'm assuming you were referring to the 4.4.3 update and not the VoLTE update we just received.

We still have another minor update before 4.4.3 and yes we will get the next mayor Android updats but that may be in January or February of next year but the 4.4.3 is scheduled for release between August and October the Note 4 will have it out of the box

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkMage619:
Are you tired of having full access to your SD card? Do you want worse battery life? Do you prefer to view web pages without flash? I have yet to hear ANY good reason to switch to kit kat. And since you can't go back to Jelly Bean if you end up not liking kit kat I would suggest doing some serious reserch before updating your phone. There are plenty of testomonials on the XDA and on the T-Mobile website that explain the 'fun' you will have after updating. Beware!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] googlephone:
None of the issues exists on my rooted note 3 with kitkat NF4.

Need to research on how to upgrade though.

No single reason to stay with 4.3 unless you like old stuff.

Use my EffortLess guide to update to NF4. It has many fixes and security patches and new features over 4.3. None of those negatives mentioned exist.

No negatives with kit kat...

http://www.androidcentral.com/kitkat-sdcard-changes

I know what I am talking about I have experienced kit kat first hand and didn't like what I saw. I know Google will never reverse their horrible decisions but its a bad update and no matter how much lipstick you apply to that pig its still squealing. When you have to root the phone to 'fix' an official update there is a problem. The note 3 was a perfect phone on jelly bean. Kit kat changed all of that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] googlephone:
No android version is perfect on the phone..

There are lots of problems with android 4.3 on Note3, just as many as you can find on kitkat if you search for it.

It all depends on what features you like or not, what features you use or not.

Not all phones are made the same.

No one is accusing you being lying.....

Because everyone has a DIFFERENT phone, even though they all have a name under note3.

People have different problems and different preference.

Do you ever use gps on your phone? Lots people have gps issues in 4.3 on both att and tmobile versions of note3. And it is the reason I don't like 4.3 and want to ditch 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkMage619:
I hear what you saying. In my experience you lose more switching to kitkat than not. My GPS works great and always has. I guess if it was broken I might upgrade but why do I have to lose sd card access to gain GPS? I want BOTH! Of course people can do whatever they want with their phones they should just be informed as to what they are getting. Kitkat on the note 3 from T-Mobile has issues and they are well documented.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
A lot of people are

very confused

on the SD card changes. YOU DO NOT LOSE SD CARD access! The change was that if an app created a folder on your SD card to store stuff, another app cannot access and make changes to it (Which is how it should have been from the beginning). There are many reasons as to why this is the better way (many security related as well as programming related scenarios).

This means that each app can create and write changes to SD card folders it creates and no other folder. The app has to be the creator of the folder it's making changes to.. that makes sense right?! You can still put all the music and pictures and documents you want on the SD card and they will still work like in the past. A few apps had to be updated because they were doing things the old way, but that's been done and you shouldn't have any issues that people had when the change first was done.

4.4 adds a host of new features, bug fixes, network efficiency enhancements and security patches (some are very serious and if you're still on 4.3, your phone is at risk daily). I highly suggest everyone upgrade. If you have any particular issue, private message me and I will help you address it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
There are at least two now that have updated their kernels to this base. Check them out in the original development board in this forum. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
I don't use Xposed so I'll continue to wait for ART. I thought ART was in 4.4 and higher as part of android. I didn't think they could leave it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
ART is still experimental. I believe they are leaving it out of official carrier ROMs on purpose.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
hmm well a friend has ART in his ROM on his Note 2 and its flawless AND AMAZINGLY fast. It's literally the only thing i care about above 4.3 is the ART. I won't say never, but I won't upgrade till it's there more then likely. Especially until it's known if the bootloader remains unlocked after the OTA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BotsOne:
I'm pretty sure ART is still in every 4.4.2 rom, It's just hidden in the developer options.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] antiochasylum:
Why is everyone so obsessed with ART? It provides maybe a fraction of a second faster load times.

And Samsung does disable all ART runtimes in official firmwares. I'm not sure how to get it back, as you'd have to add the feature back in settings.

Lets not forget however the default runtime in either android 4.5 or 5.0 is ART. Google must have finished it.

See here

In case some can't read it, in red means they removed that code, and the green they added. As you can see ART is default and dalvik virtual machine is not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
That's just a guesstimate off past experiences. But they don't usually push updates over a weekend, so I would guess sometime next week. It's all just a guessing game until someone receives the notification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mocsab:
While no one can know what T MOBILE is thinking except T MOBILE - I have huge doubts that they will lock boot-loader with the new Kit Kat release.

By the same token, whether a phone will have a locked boot-loader or not is a decision made by the carrier NOT SAMSUNG as some people have suggested (in my opinion anyway) - ATT locked boot-loaders so they can push their new ISIS wallet ap that would require a more secure phone - at least that is my guess - and possibly some other reasons releated to security.

for what it's worth, ISIS is included in the ATT KIT KAT UPDATE for the S4 and I bet it's on their NOTE 3 update too (my wife's S4 upgraded last night - and for the first time it had the ISIS AP on it (if she wants to use ISIS she still needs a secure Sim card)

- I am on ATT using a T MOBILE PHONE - I will never buy an ATT phone again - and I hope (believe) that T MOBILE will continue to provide their phones with unlocked Boot-loaders. as far as I am concerned, locked boot-loaders on ATT is all part of ATT''s plan for world domination....lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rjohnstone:
My T-Mobile Note 3 came with a secure SIM and ISIS works just fine on it.

A locked bootlaoder is not required to use ISIS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hero746:
I'm fairly new to rooting. Does updating OTA remove root? If that's the case, we have to wait for a rooted version and flash it to update to 4.4.2 correct? I'm assuming that can be done via Mobile Odin Pro to as to keep Knox intact.

Yes? No?

Also since 4.4.2 removes an application's ability to write to secondary storage, is there some sort of fix or Xposed module that restores this function?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] antiochasylum:
If you are rooted, the OTA won't work period. Since you modified system files. It will fail.

You'll have to wait for a rooted stock firmware. And who cares about Knox. Its my device. I do what I want with it. If I have to send it in, I'm going to brick it so hard they will never even know that Knox was tripped.

There is a simple edit you can do to restore the functionality of external SD. Search around for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkMage619:
I'm glad you said this. If you looked at one of my earlier posts I had a link to an article that explained the sd card change. I am well aware of what happened. Perhaps you can answer me one simple question. How many play store apps did malicious things to the sd card? I've been using android for years and I've never seen it. My phone has never been hacked or corrupted and I highly doubt many people were complaining about sd card issues before the changes. The kit kat changes were a solution in search of a problem. Why would I want an app to to create a private folder on my sd card that gets removed if I uninstall that app? I WANT my apps to have access to my sd card! I WANT to back up my apps using backup pro to my sd card not the cloud! And I sure as Hell don't want those back ups deleted if I remove the app! Google can talk security all day long but it's my phone and I'll handle it's security. I don't need or want a major corporation to do it for me! I have read enough testimonials to know kitkat is bad business. Like I said for those who think Google knows what's best for their devices more power to them but I'll take care of my device myself thank you very much.
