N9005 Specific downloads:

I've added the NF4 bootloader for wifi in this post.

I've also added a PIT file if you want to COMPLETELY format your phone. Use this with odin aswell. Be careful though, and read up on what it does. This is only to be used with a stock Note 3 .tar.md5 firmware. If you have pinlock issues with our ROM for example: this is needed.

The pit file is going to create a >50kb partition. With other words, is gonna make room for all types of csc. As I said though, read up on this.

Please keep one more thing in mind: The PIT will erase the internal SDCARD as well.

About the next OTA update:

Probably, v17.1.2 -or whatever version number it will have- will be my personally last update(I'll be around and help my team but I won't be this active anymore). Until now tyre and I have been the ones working the most on v17, while cdmvirt has been the one who together with stash made v16, the very foundation of v17. Lately his dedication has partially shifted to his webportal instead, and to the dedicated servers we use for the OTA and for his portal. Now when spending that much time on the rom, it hurts to see how cdm is still struggling with serverside issues and has to pay out of his own pockets in order to maintain it. Especially considering the enormous user base we've gathered in only a week. It seriously disappoints me to see people being ungrateful and complaining about something, but on the other hand don't offer the help in order maintain their desired quality.

This isn't the only thing though, I've received over at least 50 pm complaining about stuff that we don't have anything to do with. User errors or even worse, the fact that people can't even spend 10 min of their time on reading the main post through. This considering the 7 weeks we've spent on this. I've been really active in the iOS scene once and I can tell you, THIS was a totally different story. Night and day. I've heard that XDA has changed, that it has once been the place I'm speaking about. Idk. This is not meant to be offensive in any way. There are a lot of grateful and helpful people too. But they are as rare as truffle. And another factor is that I simply don't have this much time to spend on it either.

I won't leave as I said. And I will really try to help my team further, if they feel like they want to continue. But I won't put this much effort into it anymore. Because it's not being answered back.

I hope you'll understand my frustration. I'm surprised that the ones directly involved like cdm himself just take it, and thinks it's ok. For me at least this is NOT ok.

Due to time constraints and the fact that we want to obtain a bugfree experience, there still are some things I need to figure out in order to flash this OTA in the correct way. Therefore it will be slightly delayed. Maybe 24-48h.
