Could someone please post a mirror to the kitkat fix v1 and Kitkat OTA .zip please? I am not having any luck with Mega. I have tried logging into my account and have also tried creating another account without success. Thank you in advance.

Same here was wondering the same ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PROFESSOR25:
Please Help!!!!

I'm not too sure about this part below:

Step 2. YOU ARE NOW ON MJ5 BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE NB4 OTA UPDATE BEFORE CONTINUING!!!

How do I update to NB4? I just completed the MJ5 restore. I now need to get to NB4 before I can proceed. Do I perform an OTA update from phone? If so I thought that would just try and attempt to get me to NC2 and fail. So am I missing a download link for NB4? If so do I flash this via ODIN or do I flash from recovery?

:mad::crying::(:confused::silly::rolleyes::eek:

Sorry about that just ran OTA and now on NB4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
usally if you followed every step and your up and running on MJ5, then you should get the NB4 update notice, try checking for updates

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zccryfxycby1iq8/2400258.cfg

rename to update.zip and install with stock recovery

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PROFESSOR25:
The KK update file you sent the dropbox link to. its only 38 MB?

I thought the KK update zip was about 500+ MB?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
NB2 is the large OTA, the nb4 was just a small OTA
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] doin-it:
The longest part is downloading the files you need. I did this today & it worked perfect. Thanks for the good instructions ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] aartau:
I am using Safestrap 3.72, Android 4.4.2, Dynamic Kat 2.0, Baseband N900AUCUCMLG, Kernel 3.4.0-257432.

Do I need to go back to a JB rom and remove Safestrap in order to restore to MJ5 --> update --> Towelroot? Or can I perform the MJ5 restore from my current configuration?

Thanks for your guidance.

Update:

1) Began procedure directly from configuration described above (did not go back to JB rom). Got a "cannot mount /sdcard" at Step 8. Had to use ADB to sideload sec_csc.zip and 2400258.zip.

2) Stuck at AT&T logo upon rebooting at Step 9. Attempted to start over at Step 3 (installing partitions using Odin) with no success - Odin would not work, nothing would happen when I hit "start."

3) Got creative after 3 hours of repeated file re-downloads and procedure restarts - downloaded phone driver from Samsung website and installed it. Voila! Success... Odin worked, phone rebooted normally.

4) Received NB4 update. Everything else proceeded normally except had to use Option B (Option A gave same message about not being able to mount /sdcard).

Cheers!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
check your download mod info, looks like your trying to down grade a A3 bootloader

if you see A2 then your Older Bootloader

if you see A3 then your out of luck with this.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RoachForLife:
hey guys. Sorry to beat a dead horse but I cant seem to get straight answers and didnt want to **** things up.

The skinny:

Was at MJ5, rooted with Kingo. MJ5 came from the factory so I didnt do anything special to get it there

Unrooted, removed TB and Xposed. Then got the OTA to NB4.

This is where she sits now.

Looking at the boot loader, I am on version A2.

I see in this guide a bunch of steps to get to MJ5, but since Im past that point, can I go right to Step 4? Ideally I'd rather not wipe my data but would if necessary. I wasn't sure if I could run the 2nd OTA (NC2 I assume) but didnt want to try it for risk it may upgrade the bootloader or something.

Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] posersk8r:
I would follow the op not skipping any steps, it might fail if you start at step 4 and. Pita to lose your data and apps but its also good to start fresh with a clean slate.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshparr:
Thanks for these instructions, was able to clear my update issue using the guide. Love XDA.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Chauleyboii:
Ok I believe I did everything right at least up til the nb4 update. ....Once I flash the kk update I'm getting the system/bin/mobicore error message.....I seen someone mention it a few posts back but I didn't see a solution. ...I'm gonna redo it but I was just curious if someone knew exactly what I did wrong
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
You can't just skip steps, the reason this method works is due to the way the phone is restored back to MJ5. It uses the root de la vega exploit to replace the modded files on the phone with the correct unmodified files. By simply unrooting and uninstalling things does not mean the phone is back to 100% stock. There are still modified files and leftover files left behind.

This is the last time I'm going to say if you did not follow every single step 1 by 1 exactly word for word the way I wrote them, then you will fail. There's no shortcuts here. The only other option to get it to work is to 1) Get the phone replaced 2) Have best buy restore it.

P.S. I sold my Note 3 and went back to old reliable (my iPhone 5s) so I'm not very active here anymore. Don't be upset if I don't reply to your questions or PMs quickly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ukic:
During the last step, before rebooting applying the update.zip via recovery mode, reboot 1 more time and make sure the rldv.sh ran properly. You will know that it ran properly coz the file will delete itself. Once you verify it's gone, reboot and apply update.zip via recovery mode. That's basically what I did when I had mobicore error earlier. I just did this update 3 hours ago :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] fabolous04:
thanx for this guide..I was never able to receive an ota..I bought a note 3 on day 1 and have been stock rooted. I needed to upgrade to kitkat for the new chromecast, so I finally decided to upgrade. Best buy couldnt flash my phone, so this guide got me to mj5, I took an ota to get to nb4..I'm on the right track..thanx!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jorge81:
I'm on NB4 and when I choose to update OTA firmware it brings me to the manual recovery. Can I just download the two zip files to continue the update in step 6?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Chase.XDA:
I followed the guide 100% and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mutantblack:
NVM Figured it out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] brisinger08:
Worked perfectly...after following the instructions

This worked the second time I tried it...didn't work the first time because I didn't follow the instructions. I started over at step 1 and it was smooth sailing from there (I did the full wipe just to be safe). This was my first time using heimdall too so noob status is no excuse for this fix "not working" for you! :p
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] n8dogg88:
So I have followed all the instructions. Every thing goes smooth till the update. i get to 31 percent and ota fails. any advice?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] helterkelter:
Is it possible to get those first 3 files at the top? This is an old post so those files are not found and this seems to be my only recourse of reverting back to stock 4.3 after rooting and unisntalling bloatware and then trying to OTA update and it fails at 27%. Everything else fails. Would GREATLY appreciate it!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MrSub:
Can you boot to download mode and see if the very bottom line says "udc start" in Red.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LanceM:
I just did... And it does say that. That bad?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mx185sw:
do you need to be rooted to copy these files? I am rooted and when I attempt to copy the files I get permission denied. I am trying to copy them into the device\root folder what am I missing here? I have also tried to copy them right into the device any guidance is appreciated.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jeromekobriger:
I've followed the directions from top to bottom several times now, and I can't seem to get it to update to NB4, either OTA or sideloading. It always fails with "error in sideload package.zip status 7"

I've googled and searched the forums, can't seem to find a definitive answer. Anybody have any ideas?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] inferno8420:
This all work for me have to follow all step by step nice to have it all I'm one place now thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] xuanphucn:
the wallet app didnt work for me. it keeps telling me that my phone is rooted
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MrSub:
I don't know if it is or isn't bad. I just happen to check if the warranty was void and that was there. I will have to check people who upgraded OTA and see if they have it too.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] greg25:
Thank you for this. Worked and now I'm on kitkat
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
You can see in the picture I posted in OP mine says it too... Google results say it's locking our bootloader to KK only. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
The only thing I can suggest is starting over from the beginning and going very slowly making sure you don't miss anything step by step. That's probably why it's not working.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
Try doing a factory reset and see what happens.

Tried OTA way failed like 4 times. Then saw this thread. Followed instructions. Was getting status 7 errors until I unplugged usb and then flashed update. Now I'm on Official KitKat. Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
There shouldn't be a reason to replace any of the other files you have listed in your thread because once you follow the MJ5 restore the only file that needs to be replaced is the mobicore file. Although you could edit the script to replace as many files as you wanted if needed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
Did you use option a or b to flash it? I had mine plugged in but I did mine with ADB so I didn't lose anything.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
Option A. Wiped Everything. Btw tried rooting with rdlv..Didn't work for me. Just in case someone was thinking of trying. Kind of knew it would fail.Oh well. Thanks again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
I believe that it says at the top of the rdlv thread that it no longer works on 4.4.2 Samsung patched the exploit
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radiotsar:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 6 days of frustration finally put to rest. This is a far cry from my old Infuse. Thank you again!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] elry567:
I've got a question what if I am on stock NBA never been on kit kat or anything only thing I ever did was root to remove some bloat do I still have to go back to MJ 5 or can I just start from where I'm at thank you in advance?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
If you've never restored to MJ5 before and you're missing bloat this won't work. You'll have to restore because with the bloat missing it will fail to install.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
I took apart that update zip. If I threw superuser files in there what would happen if I flashed it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
I don't believe you can. Once you break the signature of the file it won't work with stock Samsung recovery.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kmankin5344:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hitlab1:
Doing this will it f### my warranty?????
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mx185sw:
I am on stock NB4.. only thing i have done is root via kingo... Not sure why i would need to downgrade to MJ5 to reflash to NB4. Nothing else has been done on phone , no safestrap etc. I unrooted, and it failed at 27%, I then factory reset and it still failed at 27%. Multiple attempts to copy the files into the root of the device have failed due to permissions (whether rooted or not)...

Can someone confirm if they have been able to copy the file with the script... then attempt an OTA update to 4.4 and does that work?

Could someone guide me on how to get this file installed on to the device and which folder it should be put in that is not blocked by permiission issues?

thank you in advance....:confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] McClair672:
This worked for me, AFTER I did a full unroot with SuperSU, then restored back to MJ5, then updated to NB4, then did miata's fix
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hitlab1:
? Will this trip knox
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
No
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
You have to restore it because the files you use to restore it are edited to call in the rldv.sh script that is run when the phone boots up and that allows you to replace the bad mobicore file. The script isn't going to just run by itself unless you start from step 1 and restore your phone. It should take a total of 10 minutes to do if you follow everything step by step and read what everything says to do.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
It worked for you because I'm assuming that you had previously restored your phone before with this method or you've used rldv to root your phone. Am I right?

No

My side loader keeps saying it cant read the update file. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hitlab1:
same here

same here did you find something that work
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radiotsar:
I had the same problem and had to add the ".zip" in order for the sideload to work.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
Make sure you are changing the actual file extension not just the name otherwise your file will actually be update.zip.zip. In windows vista and higher it hides known file types so you won't be able to see the .zip extension.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radiotsar:
Probably should have been clearer. I had to add the ".zip" in the adb sideload command (adb sideload update.zip), not to the actual file itself. I'm running Windows 8.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hitlab1:
not working

need help with this
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] $H0RTY 140:
For step 4.... make sure that when you extract the two files, take them out of the extracted folder and put them on the root of the internal storage (leaving the two files in the extracted folder will not work upon reboot to run the script to correct the issue with the files that are missing) and reboot. Once that done you can then boot into recovery and apply the update from the external storage for the file you renamed to update.zip and copied to the SD card.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
What do you need help with? Be more specific than that or nobody can help you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
If you had to add the .zip to the adb command that means you didn't rename 2400258.zip to just update... Either way I'm not sure it makes a difference honestly. That part was taken from the other 4.4.2 fix thread. I did it the way I posted and it worked.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hitlab1:
error

I keep getting a error message on my phone at step 8.....some about volume wiping format and something abot absildloader...plz help
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radiotsar:
Honestly, I did rename it to just "Update". The error message initially made me think I had to rename the file with the extension, but then I received an error about the aforementioned "Update.zip.zip" and realized that it wasn't the file name that was the problem in my situation, it was the command I was entering. I changed the command and it's all good.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
Which step 8? Copy and paste or take a screenshot of the error.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
Glad it worked. Either way like I said the way I did it is what I wrote and it worked for me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hitlab1:
here it is

here it is
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
I don't know what "package.zip" is but sounds like you're flashing the wrong file. You need to flash sec_csc.zip from here
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hitlab1:
in this step:::do I extract the files before I put them on my sdcard????:2) Download the following files:

MI9_fix.img.ext4

sec_csc.zip

2400258.zip

Put sec_csc.zip and 2400258.zip on your external SD card
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
No don't extract anything. It doesn't say extract them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jonfl1:
This method also worked perfectly for me. I was on rooted NB4, went through the steps as described, and I'm now running fine on Kitkat. I'll echo the OP (and others) and say that you must follow the instructions exactly.

Although one thing I did differently that helped me to get through this successfully was to copy the 'mobicore-presetup.sh' file from the Miata KitKat Fix zip file to BOTH my internal storage root AND external storage root. I originally had it in only the internal storage root and was still getting an error when updating via sideload. Once I copied it to external storage and tried again, the sideload update went through without error.

Hope this helps someone still having an issue!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sycol65:
No matter what, that's the reason why every body has to say GOD bless America. It took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to do it but it works perfectly. Thank you Mazdamiata210.:laugh:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] naiku:
The title of the thread says "Without ROOTING" but how do I copy the 2 .sh files to the root of my phone, without being rooted? I have tried using the default file browser on my phone, and also using Root Browser. Tried both with extracting the files first on my PC, then copying to the phone and trying to move to the root, and also by copying the zipped file and trying to extract to the root, neither of these are working.

Can you let me know (I see others posted the same question in this thread) what the best way is to actually get these .sh files onto the root of the phone? Do I need to root first using Kingo, move the files, and then unroot the phone again?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] misty356:
This worked for me and all I did was drag and drop the files into the internal memory of the phone. I wasn't rooted and it worked perfect
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Smartino666:
It's not the root of the phone but the top level of the internal memory of your phone. Save the files to your phone just done put them in any folder
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
...plug it into the computer and copy it to the phone
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] naiku:
Got it, thanks to misty356. I think I was over thinking it instead of just dragging and dropping.

Just started trying to sideload though and ran into an error:

Verifying current system ...

"/system/xbin/dexdump" has unexpected contents.

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Not sure what that is but will re-read through the thread. I had restored to MJ5 previously, but may need to do it again with all of the attempts at getting the update to take. Sucks that it will likely wipe my phone, but oh well. Thankfully I don't have much on there.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Csponge1:
You're a genius!!!!!

Start from step 1 it has to be restored
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gearshift:
+rep for this tutorial. went through all these steps yesterday. to anyone that's getting errors, you probably skipped a step.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] naiku:
That's what I figured, sucks to wipe my phone, but oh well, almost done now and ready to follow your steps in the first post! Boy do I wish I had my Xperia back (replace Xperia with any of the past half dozen phones I have owned)!!

Edit: Looking like it is taking the update now, something I did while trouble shooting must have changed a file somewhere that was causing it to fail. Followed the restore to MJ5 again, then NB4 OTA update, and finally used the ADB sideload option to update to NC2.

Thank you very much OP!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 8125Omnimax:
I was able to upgrade to NC2 without a problem...however...

I had rooted my phone with kingo because for some strange reason I could not change permissions on the system/bin directory to change the mobicore file, and I was able to after root before i started this tutorial

Now I cannot remove the Super SU app after the KK attempting a factory restore brom both the bootloader and the settings menu

I said well let me try to reflash the phone...

ODIN no longer recognizes the phone, doesnt even show up on two different computers

Anyone had any sucess, kingo reports back no root but the isis app states the phone is rooted, how can I remove the kingo root manually, anyone have a detailed list of files???

The phone works well, now im trying to un-naughty the phone, out of ideas...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
If the super user app is there I don't think there's a way to remove it since we can't root kk yet. Only way is to wait until we get the kk Odin files to be able to restore.

My method does not leave behind any files and is 100% stock though so you didn't follow my guide to do it

It's best to do a full wipe between big updates anyway. At least that's always worked well for me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 8125Omnimax:
Your method is quite convinient, just not kingo removal friendly, but all went through smooth. No issues here, probing alternate ways to disable the root , will post if successful.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gearshift:
I was on kingo root on mine before i followed this thread's instructions, no root leftovers
