[Samsung Galaxy Mega] unclefab:
It took nearly 24 hours to upload due to my dreadful internet connection:eek: but here it is, the latest Android version for the galaxy Mega I9200 AKA Kit Kat I9200XXUDNE4, repacked with a full Knox free bootloader.:good:

DISCLAIMER

I'm not responsible for anything, as usual procede only if you know what you do, and make a backup beforehands in case things go out of control.

This said since this ROM is Knox free you will be able to get back to 4.2.2 or to whatever ROM you want in case you don't like Kit Kat.

IMPORTANT

You can flash this ROM ONLY if you come from a non Knox Rom.

It means that if you were on a ROM that had Knox, like the latest 4.2.2 versions, you can't flash this ROM and in that case you'll have to go for the regular 4.4.2 Knox version available at sammobile.

BEFORE TO FLASH

Get a custom recovery, cuz this ROM comes without any recovery.

Why?

Because at the time I was testing it I kept my custom recovery to see if I could reuse it with Kit Kat, and since it worked, and since I don't want to loose again 24 hours to upload an other ROM with a recovery, you'll have to go like this.

There are plenty of custom recoveries on the forum, as for me I use that one:

but you can use any one you like, it doesn't matter as long as it has been installed BEFORE to flash Kit Kat.

Edit

If for some reasons you want to stick to stock recovery head to post #5, I've attached it there with some instructions.

THE FLASH

Download the ROM, unrar it and you'll get a tar.md5 file.

Open ODIN 3.04, put the file in the PDA section.

On your phone, enter download mode (press volume down and start at the same time), then connect it to your computer.

Once it has been recognized by Odin (it gets blue on the left upper case) start the flash.

It will take approx 5 mns before it reboots, that's it.

If everything goes ok it will reboot twice and then it will enter the set up wizard.

It could be that some app forces close and that it reboots one more time, in that case you'll have to enter recovery and format /data (and since you have a custom recovery you can do so without erasing your sd card contents:cool:).

ROOT

Easy, download the latest SuperSU_1.94.zip from the master chainfire, flash it from recovery, reboot, voila.

REMOVING THE LAST KNOX TRACES:

This has to be done manually (I could have done it and repacked/uploaded a new pre rooted ROM with everything done but sorry, my connection is too slow:( )

There are some Knox apps in the /system/app folder and in the system/priv-app folder:

-the ones that have Knox in their name are easy to guess;

-one is called KLMSAgent and should be deleted as well, and so too ContainerAgent.apk, ContainerAgent.odex, ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk and ContainerEventsRelayManager.odex.

In the /system/lib folder delete libknoxdrawglfunction.so.

Delete completely the system/preloadedkiosk folder and the system/preloadedsso folder.

In data/data delete the com.sec.knox.seandroid folder and the com.sec.knox.store, and the other com.sec.knox whatever folders there are.

Enjoy!!!:silly:

Stay tuned, in the coming days I will put some mods here...

I already made a deodexed version but I don't think I will upload it since it takes too long (24 hours again:eek:), so if anyone with a better connection feels like doing it he or she is welcome!
