Here we go again: LATEST_FW_VERSION: I9100XWKE2/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2

Seems like they're on a roll. Build date 6th May.
Available via Kies, don't have an ODIN link yet.
Download link for ODIN: Megaupload or multiupload

Jesus Christ. Is there a change log somewhere?

Wow. It sucks that stuff was broken in the first place but you've got to give Samsung credit for staying on top of it and turning these releases around. I'm glad I won't have my phone until tomorrow. I'll be able to skip some of the gymnastics. I really hope this one nails the battery issues.

ODIN ODIN ODIN. I already froze Kies, and have no intention of unfreezing it, lol.

lol this is fun, well i will get use to using odin i guess so its a good thing, let us know when u have the link
Please

Uploading Odin version now (is no one will beat me to it)

Come again?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AM2P1S22

is that baseband or build number?
because my basband is kdj
and is this for unlocked uk versions?

Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/7OCBLBD7V9

Would anyone be kind enough to upload the new kernel on it's own or tell me how to extract it from the files so that I can re-flash after rooting

If you have XWKE1, you have the latest baseband. But this update will still give you a PDA update.
Kies only release them as a package, that's why you have to apply it all, even though you only need the PDA update.
Yes, it is unlocked UK version.
If you have Korean or O2 versions, please check your Kies for updates, do not use these files.

Thanks for the link, only just woke up and got so excited that theres another firmware I didn't look

Thanks very much for the download links. Flashed with odin keeping eyes open for any noticeable differences!

Kies is downloading the firmware now...
Anyone know if we can still successfully root after this update?

Yep, just rooted. All is still good

Why Does the filename say XEUKD1 whereas the latest PDA version is XEUKD2? Is that a mistake or the PDA updates to XEUKD1

New to Samsung flashing.. Do i just flash the tar file as PDA in Odin?

Just updated 02 simfree all fine

Finished updating.
Don't see any immediate changes...

This update is available only on samfirmware.com. I think this update is not an Indian update, because Indian update always has DD in it, in this case this is DX.

DX: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam
from samfirmware.com

I wonder if anyone have the changelog?

i5801Dxjpc' Its another firmware.. Strangely, thread shows i5801DKJPC.. i wonder why?

Is there Thai language included?

you can also flash back to stock with kies

Try this site: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N5110

Thanks guys, unfortunaltey those sites also seem to have thier mirrors down. ill try kies

samsung-updates.com had they're files hosted hotfile.com. And I guess they were forced to shutdown the hotfile site due to MPAA lawsuit.

Technology: The Ultimate Guide To Unbrick 16 Gb International Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Technology: The Ultimate Guide To Unbrick 16 Gb International Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) And Upgrade To KitKat 4.4.2 Through Custom ROM

And I was going to make a good old demonstration of "how to install Stock KitKat ROM on your SM-N9005", until the whole thing got so out-of-hand... here are my failed attempts compressed into a real short video...
My Note 3 was soft-bricked, meaning that a failure in flashing software has caused my phone to become a 'brick', a not-dead-but-unusable condition.
It was a bummer! But it is one that can hardly avoid having all those upgrade tutorials on YouTube which didn't mention the uniqueness of 16Gb Hong Kong Note 3. Why should they mention anyway? They don't have 16Gb Hong Kong Note 3 in the first place.
Thanks Samsung for making the Hong Kong Note 3 so special, such that it is the Note 3 with the smallest storage in the world (16Gb) when the rest of the world are getting at least 32Gb! For this and for the trouble you have caused Samsung, I hate you!
After 2 days of research, I have finally arrived at a completely, perfectly usable state!!! And it is functioning with speed!!
However, from soft-bricked to success, the road had not been smooth. There was about a day or so that my phone was able to boot and use the internet, but had no in/outgoing call, no sound, no Google Now, no S-Voice, no camera, slow lockscreen and slow settings.
I have followed all the instructions given by several XDA members, but I still could not get it to work. Why?
That's because all those instructions are inaccurate. The thing is, minor details that are missing can be real serious, and for that, I want to write a very very detailed descriptions on how to solve this soft-brick issue specifically for 16 Gb International Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) when upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2.
Before you start, you'll need,
a Custom ROM, eg. Sweet ROM v7.01 4.4.2 NA6
a leaked N9005XXUENA6 4.4.2 KitKat ROM for Note 3 Download on my blog
a Hong Kong N9005ZHUBMI7 Rescue ROM Download here
the latest CWM Recovery, eg 6.0.4.7 Download on my blog
Odin 3.07 Download on my blog
the latest Samsung USB Driver Download on my blog
Samsung Kies Download on my blog
Note 3 16Gb SM-N9005 from Hong Kong at 50% battery level
a Note 3 USB 3.0 cable
Installation Instructions:
Install Samsung Kies
Install Samsung USB Driver
Connect USB into PC and Note 3, then copy Custom ROM onto the SD card
Put Note 3 into Download mode by holding Power + Volume down + Home buttons at the same time until you see "Warning!!", then press Volume up
When you see "Downloading..." and Android logo, plug in the USB into the PC and Note 3
Run Odin 3.07 (See my video)
When you see a blue 0:[COM4], in the Bootloader put leaked KitKat's BL file, and in PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC put Hong Kong N9005ZHUBMI7 Rescue ROM's PIT, AP, CP and CS respectively and then press Start to flash.
When Note 3 restarts, it will keep rebooting and it will only show Samsung boot screen, at this time, remove the battery and then put it back.
Repeat Step 4, 5 and 6
In Odin 3.07, go to PDA and choose CWM Recovery, eg 6.0.4.7, and press Start to flash, it will reboot automatically when complete. Unplug the USB.
When the phone reboots, it will boot into CWM Recovery. If it asks you to root phone, just say no. Otherwise, select Wipe data/factory rest --> yes, Wipe Cache --> yes, advance --> Wipe Dalvik Cache --> yes. This will erase the unwanted files and prepare your phone for the good stuff.
Go to install zip --> choose zip from /external_sd and select the Custom ROM you have chosen, then choose yes to flash. This will take about 3 minutes, press reboot after it is completed.
This reboot will be slow, and most likely there will be no sound at boot and errors at setup, be extremely patient and wait for the screen asking you to choose Language to appear. Choose the language you want, press Next, then do nothing else!!!!
Without doing anything else, repeat step 4, 5 and 6.
In Odin 3.07, go to CP, choose leaked KitKat's CP file and then press Start to flash.
When the phone reboots, you should hear the Samsung bootup music and then everything will be functioning perfectly!
The moral of the story is, you have got to have brain and perseverance to work with KitKat 4.4.2.

I have a 16gb Hong Kong Note 3. Firstly I wish to give my congratulations for you, my friend. Fantastic post! Some questions, please:
1- My phone is stock and rooted since the first firmware. I don't upgrade it for the newest version HK Firmware. Is your guide useful for me if I want to update to kit kat and don't wait the official kit kat Hong Kong?
2- After the moment (final part of the guide) that we have to select the language and only check next can I just power off the phone to make easy to start the phone in download Mode to finish the process?
Sorry for my questions and my poor english, my friend. I have read several posts to learn with guys like you. Please let me know. Thank you so much!

1. Yes, that is exactly what I did and what I thought. I didn't want to wait. I came from stock and rooted 4.3
2. Powering off the phone first, in my opinion, doesn't make going into download mode easier. So just directly hold Power+Vol Down+ Home to get into Download Mode

I am in the same soft brick boat but I have 32gb. I think it's HK as it was shipped from Hong Kong. Will this guide work for me to?

Try SamFirm program and see if there's any problem. I used updato once and didn't have any problems and I've used the program like 5-6 times before, without any problems neither.
You can also try to flash the file it extract. If it is really corrupted, the Odin flash should fail.
