No,

You are not doing anything wrong....

4.4 TW is such a vastly different file structure, that some of these devices fight the new files...

Here is my method, that worked last night...

Go to Mr. Robinsons thread, and download the Stock, rooted UCAMA4.tar image...

It is a return to stock rom, that includes the original boot loader, but don't worry...

Once you have the rom placed on your PC, you wipe your device through recovery...(complete wipe including internal)...

If you have any files that need saving...now is the time...and a backup on your SD is REQUIRED !!

Once the device is wiped...start Odin, and push the UCAMA4.tar image to the device...

Now the fun begins...

The rom will push completely if your are on the old bootloader, but if you have the 4.3 loader...then Odin will report a "failed" status, and possibly take you to the factory mode screen on your device...(don't worry if it does)...

If you get the FM screen...just pull the battery on the device and wait for 30 seconds...then replace the battery and boot into download mode again...

If you have the old BL...then move to the recovery install portion...

Warning: Some devices resist getting out of factory mode, but we have several threads here telling users how to kill it for download mode access...but the chances of this are pretty slim...

Once in DL mode...you need to push your favorite recovery....Either TWRP or CWM...

Important !!....use only the latest versions of recoveries !! not a 6 month old copy...(it WILL fail)..

After you push the recovery...then you are safe to boot the device to the fresh 4.1.1 rom...

I made a backup at this point to preserve the file structure in case I needed the return to stock later...

After a good boot of the device...you can then return to recovery mode and wipe the device again for a fresh install of this rom...

The first boot will take around 10 minutes...as this rom is much different than previous builds...

Now...about root..

The rom will likely boot without root...so you need to find the latest supersu from chainfires website....(version 1.99) and push the .zip to your device via recovery...

It contains the needed files to turn off SELINUX in the rom...and allow the root apps to function...

From there...if you want a new kernel..(the baked in kernel is fine too)...you need the newest AGNI pure kernel...(version 4.2.0)...

This kernel can be found in the main Agni thread in the downloads section...and is labeled under the N7105 designation...(don't worry..it works well)..

The kernel also contains the SELINUX disabled feature...so SE should not be back any time soon...

Now...I realize that this guide is long..and I appreciate eZ letting me put it here....in hopes it will help those users in the same boat I was...with a device that refuses to run TW 4.4 builds...

Standard disclaimers apply...as this method is a deep attempt to get these roms running...so flash away at your own risk...

Link changed....sorry about that....g
