[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dia_naji:
Same exact issue happened to me. Can you provide us with some more information. Has the device been rooted ? Custom rom or custom kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afrojoc:
the problem is with my gogroove flexsmart. it no longer reconnects with my iphone either. sorry :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] edufur:
So if the regular "check for samsung update" isn't returning kitkat, will kies do it? Or is it just as slow to receive the rollout?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Sounds all good forsure..but it will most likely have that dreaded knox security with it...but nice to hear this anyways. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
With our custom ROMs I won't ever touch it anyways

*S.O.F.A*2SHAYNEZ*K.C.C.O*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JoepVK:
Second that.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
Me I'll wait until a workaround or a solution to knox comes before updating to 4.4. I am happy with the present version anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DickyOhYK:
UPDATE!!!! 4.4 On Samsung galaxy mega 6.3!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vannose:
i probably will use official kitkat because of multi windows feature, i really need it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Danchibald:
Great news!! So we go directly from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] inurb:
Samsung still allows you to flash a custom Recovery with a boot mode they themselves created to allow you to do that. The only thing that has changed about that is that before it just went straight into the mode with the right button combination, but now it puts a little warning up saying that you're going into that mode and that if you do anything with it your warranty is void.

They did, however, fix a vulnerability in their stock firmware that was being exploited by the Chainfire guy to acquire root on Samsung's Touchwiz. You do not, however, need root in order to flash a custom recovery or custom ROM: The bootmode they put in, we assume, has root privileges.

If you go a custom ROM, nothing has changed for you.

Got my explanation:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
Yes these are all comforting. But there are instances that flashing a custom ROM will touch the bootloader and trip the KNOX in the process. The problem is that you will not know until it is too late.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Branded ones will probably come later... I need the wifi calling on MetroPCS branded phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Any guesses about when kitkat may arrive?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MikeyLee:
I was told by a Sprint Tech support rep that it should be early April for theirs.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
kitkat don't allow moving files to SD Card

i just read on sprint that the new OS won't allow for moving files from internal memory to the SD card.

one of their tech's replied that it wasn't sprints software that was stopping the move, but that it was Google and Samsung that are responsible.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MikeyLee:
Once rooted this is an easy fix. It happened with my Note 3 when they did the KitKat update also.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
kitkat don't allow moving files to SD Card

thanks. a fix I'm sure that i will be learning soon then :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
4.2.2 updates still being released for 5.8 & 6.3. I'm not hopeful about early kitkat release.. :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I'm a lil aggravated at the lack of memory on this phone as 1.5gb gets bogged down quick. I'm truly hoping kit kat helps performance and the memory management.

Metro PCS agent says they'll get on it soon. To me that means not in April... :(

I'm desperate and willing to lose wifi calling to try kit kat and see if it works better. There's no reason I should be struggling on any modern phone. The Nokia 520 ran smoother... then again I didn't have many apps open...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
I know Samsung confirms Android 4.4 KitKat update as soon as possible. But How many opportunity we will get from Android 4.4 KitKat update ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gauravxda:
Hoping the Kit Kat update brings us custom roms :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
This update provides a number of innovative, easy-to-use features that enhance the Samsung Galaxy user experience. Even, Users can automatically back up photos and video and can open, view, rename and share Google Docs and files.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
I can do all those things already on my Mega. As far as I can see, the only things I'll get with 4.4 that I can't have already are:

1) A grey battery icon

2) Restricted 3rd party app access to my SD card

and I don't see either of those as a benefit. Are there any real advantages that the 4.4 update will bring?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
I have research it and got this information from Samsung update..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
Thought everyone might like to know, the Mega 6.3 (SPH-L600) has been tested though GFXBenchmark running 4.4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
See this on Sam Mobile a few minutes ago..GT-I9200 update.Still Jellybean 4.2.2..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
There are still 4.2.2 updates for Mega ... but we all are waiting for KK :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
Yeaa man..Hope kit kat coming to our device soon..Can't wait:D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
Yeah... We are also hope it. It come as soon. Is that date publish anywhere ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
If we can believe the Samsung FAQ page for KitKat updates as the release order, which it has been correct so far, then the Mega will be next in line as the S4 Active has started its KitKat rollout.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Thanks but I don't think the phones are necessarily listed in the order they'll be updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
I agree with that. I was just making a notice that seems coincidental that they have followed that so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
We are also agreed this KK notice.. Just Hope so on..:victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
ATT mega

Att is now offering the mega with KK 4.4 installed so the update should be available VERY soon
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Says who? Websites been wrong for months as to what the phone is running
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
is it really ?? :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
At&t's website dies say v.4.4 (Kitakat) for Android version, however, I believe the update will hit Sprint Galaxy Mega's first as Sprint strives to release their updates first.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mrcharmz:
Either way it goes, it still will be a wait as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
Kitkat update notice also for Samsung galaxy
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
ATT mega

I am going to the ATT store today to see if they can upgrade my mega at the store. If they are selling the mega with 4.4 (kitkat) then they should be able to do the upgrade in the store even if its not available to the general public yet. I am also going to ask if they have the KK rom to leave a copy on my phone, but we will see if either is even possible...

I will report on how it goes this afternoon.

Uni
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Please do, I have been online with tech support I dont know how many times. They do a great job at answering without give an answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
ATT mega

oh it was a joke, they are as good in person at avoiding a proper answer, the best i got out of the Rep. was that even if they have the phones in back with 4.4 on them he wouldn't know which ones do or don't with out opening the box and turning the phone on... but then again that wasn't my question, so i ask again quite directly do you have access to the upgrade software. in which he finally replied "no i don't"

so now im back to waiting again with everyone else ... misery loves company.

Uni
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Seems to me the back of the box should state details???? NO???
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Samsung Team at Best Buy doesn't know anything about the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
ATT mega

DUH!!! face palm... I didn't even think about the details on the box I still have my box and it has the SW Ver. ...AMK2

so either the rep. is a dumb@ss or I was lied to...

Uni
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Went online with Tech again last night and played dumb.......ok, maybe I wasnt playing. Simply asked what OS the Mega was running. As site says, she responded, Kit Kat 4.4. Reeeaaaallly!!!! BAM! Then how come mine isnt running it? I a little stuttering on the other end, then the standard responses........when it is available blah blah blah. But your website says it IS available and running. Is ATT getting accustomed to false advertising with what most consider to be ATT's flagship line of products? Stutter stutter stutter.........so I am rocking the brand spanking new OS on my Mega......4.2.... :(

I am not done yet, may day off tomorrow

I think you have to much fun doing that
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
KIES update

kies 2.6 has just been updated to version 2.6.3.14044_14

perhaps another step for the KK upgrade... only a guess though
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
Thanks for the info about the Kids update, but Kids getting an update really doesn't effect KitKat updates. Kids getting an updates is essentially iTunes getting an update, they don't correlate with software updates on devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alexanderliver:
Kies just updated to 3.0.1.14043_5 but still nothing for KK :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
I was hoping we Mega users might get KitKat before May, but that seems unlikely to me, I'm expecting an early to mod May release.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Auto correct woes? I know the feeling :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Maybe I am over pessimistic, but I am affraid so Mega get KK AFTER Mega2 premiere... and it means end of the year...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
kies

Kies 3 version's won't work with andriod 4.3 and below. if your phone is still 4.3 and below you have to run the kies version 2.6.x

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

i was just hoping beyond hope that they had to modify kies to handle the new boot-loader and knox.. ok so maybe it was just a pipe dream
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
That's not entirely unlikely..unfortunately for us..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
I believe it is unlikely, as I said before, Samsung's FAQ so far has been in the order of when updates are released. Given that the Note 2 and GS3 are "confirmed" to update by the end of May, we fan deductively assume that the Mega will be next to receive the update and it will be in early to mid-May. This is mostly speculation.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
We are waiting for updated the Note 2 and GS3's update by the end of May.. just wait for new things..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
According to IBTimes India, Sprint started the KitKat rollout for the GS3 today.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alexischino:
Well for those who are expecting the 4.4 k.k uptade this month sammobile says that will be in June and instead of 4.4.2 we maybe get 4.4.3 http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/07...evices-getting-the-android-4-4-kitkat-update/
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tinfox:
Yeah, that's the ticket!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
Kitkat update status .. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
"Well, thanks to an internal document that we obtained from a tipster and have confirmed to be legitimate...."

Does anyone know how Sammobile might have confirmed that internal document to be legitimate? I'm asking here since I don't expect Sammobile to answer the question.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] str3tchb0y:
I wonder if that date is the date we get it or that ATT get the update.....

Cuz if it is when ATT gets the update then we may not see it until 2015. grr
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Word from ATT, when I got them in a corner last week was, they have tue update. They just want to make sure it is stable before releasing.

But you all know ATT........
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jcar6245:
I'm a MetroPCS sales rep, I was told that we should see it around June. Also I found this
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Forgot to include something you wanted to?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sns2k7:
so is the att mega getting the update ? because i havent seen anything about the i527 just wondering and hoping so
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Unicorn69:
Yes the I527 is slated to get the update, we are just waiting for ATT to release it to the public.. even though that they are saying that they have it on the phones that are currently for sale grrrrr.....
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
I asked about my replacement and what it would be running and they SAID, it doesnt really matter. The phone is now upgradable through Samsung.

I checked Kies and Samsung and NOTHING.

ok, a show of hands........who is suprised?

Not ATT
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Grarak:
Looks like there are some problems with the framebuffer. There is no splash screen and odin mode is also blank. Knox is included, however not a big problem. Rooted in 2 min and removed knox with SuperSU
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
:(

I did put my att sim in my mega, checked for software update- nothing.

Does anyone have a hard time getting their sim out of this tight cramped space?? I found a solution. If any of you have access to those rubber bracelets- live strong, Breastcancer, I have a spongebob Mets one given out a game- remove the sd card, and use the bracelet like a gripper- put it on the edge of the sim and pull out -tease it out with your finger. A pencil eraser would probably work too.

Theoretically, could I swap out the vendor folder,apns-conf.xml and revise the build.prop to get this to work on my sprint mega 6.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] unclefab:
I completely removed Knox from the bootloader so that one is free to downgrade, flash a non Knox Rom (aosp, cm, slim, etc.).

I'm trying to upload the Rom to share it with you guys but my internet speed is very low, 15-20 kbs, so it'll take a while.

Hopefully tonight I can post the link, so if you want a completely Knox free KK don't flash the sammobile Rom and wait for mine.

Oh yeah, and with my Rom you keep your custom recovery, it doesn't hurt, does it?:)

Is ART available in the official kitkat ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Although I did read it was part of all KitKat updates, Samsung and a lot of others didn’t include it in the updates for the phones/devices that are currently out. I saw that only the S5 had ART at the moment. I may be wrong as it being the only phone/device but I didn't see anything familiar as far as ART related in my update thats for sure.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] French's user:
Hi

For the beginning i want to say thx to the people who will try help me.

Samsung Note 3 SM-9005

Rom: NB3 4.4.2 (kitkat)

I should post it as a reply to the chainfire's post on cf auto root but i can't cause i am a new on xda (and he didn't allow me ;) )

So what is my problem ?

When i tried root with CF all is ok but when odin say 'PASS' there is no recovery boot (the install process, the red android logo)

What i have ? > After my flash my phone try to boot (with Se Enforcing + 2 other stuff blue red and yellow i guess) but my phone can't boot (yes even boot) he only reset and try re-booting.

chainfire's say

So i tried it, i unchecked the auto-boot, flash my phone pull the battery and press the button (without the battery), and after my phone turn off.

When i turn on >> same issue boot loop all time

And to have access on the phone i must go on the downlaod mode and click restard phone...

Well if u could help me .... 90% of my app require root x) :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Is this the file you used? There's 2 files, one for 4.4 and the other for 4.3. Try flashing the file again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] French's user:
Yes i used this file

i forgot to say that kingo root is so buged i mean i try also to root with him (on 1s)

He put my phone on download, install the recovery ect

Result: a fake root, in fact even if i have SuperSU (he installed) He said me that i have no binnary installed

I also checked on "Root Checked" no root here

BUT on download mode: custom os + custom binnary :(

And his chinese recovery work

1 hour ago i used my GN2 to see if maybe it's my computed who have issue with kingo root

Result: Root perfectly my phone

I also forgot to say that i used different odin (1.85,3.09 ect) on admin

And i tried the NA6's rom (maybe was the rom ^^' but nop still no root)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
I re-read your reply and I'm a little confused. Did you pressed all buttons after removing the battery? Also, there is no restart phone in download mode, you can only get out of download mode by pressing power button for a few seconds or remove the battery.

Lastly, maybe check you have the correct samsung usb drivers and reactivation lock is off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] French's user:
Well i know but i didn't even really understand the process to manually boot the recovery (the chainfire's quote)

what i did ? i flash my phone when odin say "reset" i just pull the battery on the table and next press buttons (Volup+home+power)

My phone turn off i replace the battery and i get the booting loop

Maybe my way to process is wrong, i don't even know chainfire don't really explain in details the way to do it....

For the driver i deleted all and re-installed by kingo but in fact all time my device is detected (in all mode) and COM if alway here (also the flash is correct)

I think maybe my process is badly done (maybe i can't understand cause im french)
