Who knew a MONDAY would be such an awesome day! New OTA Update MF9 as 1st reported HERE by @jonathanhtc . Any questions can go here guys....
I'll start off with a question I have: Does this mean that all of our mods will have to be re-done to be able to be flashed on the new update? ie: Hotspot mod, 4 in 1 reboot mod, etc. all have to be re-done to be able to work on the new software update?!
Question that's on everyones mind is:
Are the bootloaders locked? That "Secure boot status: Samsung" thing was not there before if I remember correctly.

That's why I'm definitely waiting till the devs take a look at it before I download it. It definitely wasn't there with MDC and MDL.

Yes same here. BUT some new things that were reported are: Transparent notification bar with any wallpaper, new smart pause toggle, smoother UI (less lag), move apps to SD card, and KNOX is finally deployed along with Briefing and SPDclient.
First things first. Let's see what partitions got an update.
And someone should put a bug in Agat's ear to patch his kernel with the latest updates.

I wonder if this is basically the same update that the international version got. Hopefully it is, and it fixes the "smearing issue" and also we get the HDR video recording!
I heard people were unable to unlock to use internationally. Some said sprint unlocked but software restrictions remained. Do you think this update might fix that? And im not talking for use withing the U.S. mainly outside (Europe)

Okay, new bootloader, modem, kernel.
2 secondary bootloaders updated as well as rpm and tz.
Interesting that everything backs up to mmcblk0p22 before writing the new one.
Don't recall seeing that in updates for other devices.
New Fingerprint is just swap out MDL with MF9.
As mentioned, Knox is there. Makes me wonder what else was locked down with it.
Updated OCR among many updated binaries.
A lot of the binaries - in particular, vendor blobs - have an update.
I'll need someone to dump the system partition once it's patched for the new vendor files.
Hopefully good news for AOSP builds.
I'm asking to see if the previous sources have any info - but they've already stated not to expect anything.
There are a few questions that need to be figured out:
1) What is in the new bootloader? Are we locked like most of the others?
2) Can we revert bootloaders after flashing - and if so, what does it take to do so?
3) Root on new build?
All of this is going to require a test device, which sadly at the moment I am now without.
All the problems with the N2 left me with a Spare N2 and now without an S4.

bootloader isnt locked, mine is already back to rooted with twrp. that secured by samsung is the new knox stuff, so you can assign your own bootloader chain etc. i dont know all the details nor do i pretend to, but what i do know is its for companies to lock their phones down and not a concern to us

you apply the ota, flash recovery via odin and then flash supersu. if youd rather skip a step im pretty sure you can use ota root keeper

When applying the OTA, were you rooted and flashed with a Custom Recovery (i.e.-CWM or TWRP)? Or were you completely stock?

Judging by his earlier post I'm guessing custom recovery is probably not the best way to flash.
I have the same question BTW I'm rooted, with TWRP recovery, but stock ROM. Have installed a few mods (hotspot, camera shutter sound disabled. Had XPosed framework installed with a couple of mods, but removed those later).
What would be the safe way for me to install the new update? I actually like some of the features that Samsung added, so not looking to switch away from stock ROM for now.
I'm hoping that knowledgeable developers will provide guidance in the next few days

yea i was stock odex from crawj and i hit errors while flashing it twrp, i flashed stock kernel and stock recovery and tried and it still failed so i modded teh zip to forcibly install, i now have no mobile data and my modem isnt updated. so my suggestion, dont follow my lead
im currently flashing MDC stock tar to fully update all the way.
Got the Modem Updated to MF9 using Odin without going back to Stock, uploading the odin package now, and will be updating the thread here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919
Does this include the security update Google announced would be coming to OEMs?
Now if i update to mf9, will it affect custom roms that are built around MDL, or AOSP?

This is the update schedule for American carriers. Does that mean that unlocked phones will get it sooner? I hope so. I only just bought the note 2 (Best decision ever) and would love it to be running on 4.3 ASAP.

I live in Brizzy too and I'll second or third that if its the only way we can get it? Sorry for the possibly stupid question, but is it true that if you have rooted and installed a custom rom, then you won't get the push update from your carrier anyway?... so.... the only way to get 4.3 on my (and I assume your rooted phone) is via custom rom download?

or if you go back to stock.
have issues with the ota updater as soon as i root my device. The moment i do that i get the message that my device has been changed and i cannot use the updater then. if i flash stock withouth root i don't have this issue.
reckon its best to make a backup of your apps with TB or any similar program when the official update is available, then flash back stock (no root) and update, afterwards simply restore your normal (non-system) apps and your ready
I'm in Aus too, but the official story (courtesy of Telstra) is that there won't be any updates as of JB 4.1.2, unless there's sufficient backlash ...

To answer you and the gentleman above... Australia will probably be the last country on earth to get the update as usual. So we might have to reside to getting it of some kind developer who uploads it here somewhere.
If you do wish to get updates you should go back to stock firmware (probably the first backup you made for your telstra 4.1.2) doesn't matter if it's rooted. Connect your phone to the PC and have KIES installed. Click update firmware and update (done, it will automatically unroot your phone and put back the stock recovery). You can easily update after that.
If anyone finds any android 4.3 working please update us here as soon as you can with a link to the page. If I find a working ROM for the official android 4.3 TW ROM I'll post it here too.
I don't think Aussie tel companies will well I don't have high hopes when it comes to Samsung I've always had HTC and Samsung and it's always the same get f all.

Well now...I've been holding off playing with rooting my phone (as I'm new to 'droid and have an awful lot to learn, but have come a LONG way in 2 weeks) as I was expecting Telstra to release an update. Since that appears NOT to be forthcoming, Ill consider the various root options, none of which are particularly appealing at the moment mainly as it seems no-one has a stock ROM for this phone online and I can't backup mine without root. Catch 22 it seems. Information on locked bootloaders, Telstra ROM mods, rooting the 7105 "T" version is VERY limited
So...if anyone happens to have a link for a ROM copy please let me know.
(Or info on a rooting technique that works)
Ultimately every one on xda will be using the custom 4.3 rom for the note 3 goodies because Samsung will not be releasing those features in it's official release

Okay I will explain what I done for you...
When I first rooted my Galaxy Note 2 in May, I was a new-comer to android, I had an iPhone for a long time. What I done was root my phone, I Odin installed TWRP after rooting because I really don't like CWM (those are the names of the 'recoveries' available), they will replace the default Samsung recovery. Just make sure you get TWRP. I think it's up to TWRP 2.6.3
Well yeah let's get back to the topic, as soon as I rooted I used TWRP to make a backup of my default Telstra ROM (completely with EFS, MODEM, basically tick everything you can possibly backup).
I took that backup and put it on my laptop and on my PC and I kept a copy on my external card the whole time. That was the best idea, any time I ever had any problems with my phone I went back to that backup. I even soft bricked my phone once and after hours of panicking I realised I can just Re-install the default backup, and it fixed my phone.
Oh and I just recently un-rooted my phone to check for updates. All I done was use SuperSU to do an UNROOT. Then went into recover, restored the original backup I made of the Telstra ROM. Plugged my phone into the PC, and used Samsung KIES to check for firmware update. It just restarted my phone, removed TWRP recovery, re-installed the samsung one, and it removed the root completely and I'm basically went back to my original telstra ROM. I can go into settings and check for updates and everything. (I can confirm there is no update as of yet).
AS for your other QUESTION.
ALL THE ROMS in the N7105 Section will WORK with your N7105T Model. It's the same thing. JUST WATCH OUT and make sure you never install N7100 ROMS (They will soft-brick and could hard-brick your phone).
Thanks for the input.
I've been considering between 3, namely CF AutoRoot, Galaxy Note Toolkit And (exploit based) Framaroot, with a bias towards Toolkit so far ( as it specifies the 7105 "T" variant).
But if you've actually ODINed a GT-7105T (Telstra) with CWP without issues, I'll certainly consider that.
Any one else care to chime in on this (if you've done the same phone/telco only though !)
I've come far enough to understand rooting,boot processes, CWM/TWRP, exploits AND the importance of picking the exact model !:laugh:
I'll take the plunge when I get enough input to decide.

It's not that hard really, you can't really mess it up if you follow the instructions... Hey root it whichever way you see fit, whatever you think is easier for you, don't listen to me. But I do highly recommend you get TWRP for backing up and formatting and installing your ROMS. Also I recommend PAC-MAN it's a good ROM, but it's not very stable at the moment (kind of).

Don't take offense at my asking for multiple inputs. I just don't want to brick at $600 phone needlessly
I've now sourced a ROM from Sammobile and downloaded it last night.
I'm backing up settings and stuff tonight and will run with Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit tomorrow (I went PRO) and go for option 3 - THE LOT !
Hopefully it'll all go ok.

Sammobile: 4.3 is rolling out for the S3.
A week ago, I got a prompt to update to the most recent Android version. I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F. Had rooted it with Towelroot in July and everything was smooth, haven't done any major changes other than SuperSU and titanium. After I ok'ed the software update, it got to like 30% or something until it crashed and rebooted. Everything seems fine, just the update didn't get installed, I'm still 4.4.2. When trying to update it, it says that my operating system has been modified in an unauthorized way (towelroot) and that I should try to download updates using Kies.
So I looked a bit for solutions, I checked the SuperSU survival mode AFTER failing the update, and now my question is, what is the best way to update whilst retaining root and all my settings, in the fastest way? Or just what is the best solution to update? Don't really want to download Kies just for this. Sorry for noobness. Thanks for any help, appreciate it.

The best thing to do is always search first. Most questions have been asked and answered before, so a quick search gives you an immediate answer, not to mention a larger number of replies and accumulated wisdom. And if any aspect remains unanswered, you are in a much better position to pose informed questions.
Of course that is a pipe dream, because most people aren't sensible enough to take 30 seconds to search, expecting someone else to gift wrap the answer for them.
Anyway, the best approach is arguably to never be first to accept an update. Instead wait a few days and then see what early adopters are posting about any given new update. Every update is different and that will quickly tell you if there are any issues regarding root and inevitably how to deal with them. OTA updates will usually break root and often fail to install properly as well. It's better to wait and install an update via Odin IMO.
Some apps, notably mobile odin pro and super su pro have root survival modes that will attempt to regain root after an update. But there are no guarantees and you should not rely upon them. Instead treat it as an emergency plan B.

Did you change from dalvik to ART. I got the same message after changing to art and going back to dalvik sorted it for me.

Thanks for the answer. I'm not technically well versed, I just know that this forum is the best for people like me who need advice from the pros lol. I would rather just have the most recent update because I don't want any vulnerabilities or whatever. I haven't ever used Odin, just Towelroot and done. I don't use any roms, just factory plus root through towelroot and supersu, that's it for now. So again, how would a noob like me go about safely getting an update and having the reassurance that Towelroot will either still be there, or if an unroot is necessary, that towelroot will be able to root again? Kies? Also, is an actual OTA update still possible (I'm getting that error message) or is a computer update the only thing left?

How can I do this, since I'm getting the failure message that it can't be updated due to my device being modified. If I unroot with supersu, then update, then (if the update works) try to Towelroot again, will Towelroot work? Or does the new update **** with it?

no halp?
I'm really sorry for bumping this again, but I just honestly have no clue what to do to get it updated and either retain Towelroot or be able to install it again after updating. somebody help a noob out please.

Do NOT take OTA update for the very reason you have described. OTA will put you on 4.4.4 which their is no released root for yet. All other ROMS right now are based on the 4.4.2 version that was previously on our devices.
You can NOT installed leaked Lolipop ROM as that is not for our device. We will have to wait for our carriers version or possibly a port.
Once you get your device you should be able to root using Towelroot which is just a simple .apk that you sideload and run. https://towelroot.com/
Then go to this thread and install Safestrap which is the Recovery we use for our device since our bootloader is locked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
Follow those instructions and then you should be able to go into the Development section and load up a custom ROM. I also HIGHLY advise you take some time and read thru some threads before diving into this to educate yourself before you break something.

-No that ROM you linked to in the video is NOT for our device. That was for the international version. I believe Poland or something like that.
-Do not know about the Note 4. Would take that question to that forum. But OTA update on regular Note 3 for Verizon WILL remove root and bootloader was never unlocked.
new phone tonight

Yes you are good to root with that build. Just make sure not to take any updates.

Root and you can disable this or use a custom rom.
Rooted method:
Download "disable service" from Play Store
Open it
Go to System Apps
Find Google Services Framework and tap it
Uncheck "SystemUpdateService"
Restart your device.

Thank you very much all worked perfectly, I had an issue when installing superuser removing knox seemed to hang, but I restarted the phone and all was well. on my old Motorola rooted phone I used Android-wifi for free wifi, is this also recommended for my new note 3 or do you recommend another option.

Hey I disabled the service but its been 12hr later and that update window has come up again, I looked and is show that the box is unchecked...
If i were you I'd look at a dev note 3 developers edition that way no locked boot loader and you can rom way more than on regular note 3 if someone posted this my apologies I did not read everyone's post. Thanks

Will NU work with non NU
I am going to buy this tablet in a few weeks and I live in Australia and the model here does not have NU at the end but just T330. Will this ROM and any other NU ROM work with my tablet? Sorry for the noob question, but I am new to the tablet.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. It should, the only difference between the T330 and the T330NU that I've been able to find is the T330NU has an IR blaster so it can be used as a remote control. No kernel is included with the ROM, so you are more than safe to install it after making a backup. If it works, let me know. If not, Ill figure out why and make it compatible.

Should I make a backup through CMW or through the settings?
Once I get the device which like I said is in 3 weeks, I will try the device out for about a week to see how it works and get used to it and then backup and install the ROM and compare it to the stock and then post my comments on the forum.

CWM or TWRP. Either one will work. As long as you have a backup of your system partition in one of those you will be good to go. Sounds good, I'll be waiting.
Hopefully there will be a few more updates by that time. I keep getting errors when decompiling SecSettings which is pissing me off. I'll just have to keep at it until I figure it out. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Sounds good, the more updates the better!
As with the error's you are getting, I have no idea what your talking about, so I'l just agree

Lol. Its all good. I got it figured out. What I was working on was enabling S5 Settings Mod in SecSettings.apk (aka. Settings on Samsung devices). Its not finished but it works more than well enough so its in the new SuperStocked version.
So I have received my tablet early and it was easier than I thought to use it, so I have decided to install your ROM, I have already installed TWRP v2.8.3.0 and it works and I am currently backing up my tablet to my external sd card and then I will attempt to try and install the Superstocked.
Do you want me to try out both of your rom's?
I have flashed superstock and I have a few problems, when i flashed it had an error with unmounting or something like that and the keyboard is not very good it looks like android 4.2 keyboard and I do not have root access. I tried towelroot but i still do not have root access.
I think I will go back to 100% stock.

If Towel Root does not work, then try flashing SuperUser via TWRP

Edit, This rom is just a Deodexed version of the 100 percent Stock ROM... There are subtle differences, but the root method is the same..

If you happen to flash it again in the future, could you copy the recovery log so I can see the unmounting error. Its Advanced > Copy log to SD. I don't know what could have caused that but I doubt it had any effect on the ROM after booting.
As for the keyboard. It defaults to looking like 4.2 keyboard but with a number row because the ROM is kitkat. If you go into the keyboard settings you can change the theme to the material design themes.
I've been having a lot of issues with root. The su binaries are included as well as all the su files. It works fine for some people and it doesn't for others. Flashing the latest SuperSU will give you root. I'll add a link to it in the OP later today and mention root issues.
I have installed the stock v1.2 and I am still having root problems, if you can provide the su package I will try that out.
What I meant yesterday was in twrp when I was formatting the message was
E: error sending message to add storage 65537
Also I am wondering if it is alright to close or disable some system apps that are using ram such as
DeviceTest
SmartcardService
Context Service
PageBuddyNotiSvc
ELM Agent
Nearby devices
Unified Daemon
If so, how would I go about doing it?

Here's the SuperSU flashable zip:
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
The error you saw in TWRP was an error from trying to mount and unmount MTP. It happens on all of our devices but doesn't affect anything. So no worries when you see it.
If you want to disable/freeze apps you can use an app from the play store like Greenify or Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup can also remove system apps but I wouldn't recommend doing that without making a backup of the app you want to remove first.
However, if you just want to disable some services but not the entire app you can download and use Disable Service from the play store.
Thanks for clearing the meaning of that error. I have flashed the su zip and I now have root.
Lastly, is possible to reset the flash counter, so if I take my tablet in for repair my warrnty will be valid?

That I'm not sure of. I imagine there is but I haven't looked into trying any of the reset counters made for other Samsung devices on the T330/NU. You would probably need to make your own thread and ask in the help section.
My device was seller refurbished so I don't have a warranty. Otherwise I could probably help you out.
I talked to samsung about the knox thing and I was told I still had a 1yr warranty from purchase date no matter what.
Really? Samsung put implemented knox so people wouln't flash rom's but they don't care! Something doesn't seem right here. I'll believe you and just hope that nothing happens to my tablet, just in case they change their mind.

Yes really. I was told that I was guaranteed my warranty fr the device no matter what the knox warranty void said.

Yeah, I was hoping Viper4Android would work on our devices in compatability mode since selinux is enforcing. I haven't had time to actually test it myself, but I did notice that it did ask for a driver install even though I preinstalled and registered the audio driver.
To be honest, street view and face unlock are from paranoid android gapps. I've integrated PA gapps into our ROM over the included gapps. DropboxOOBE I kept because I assumed that was the apk that gave people 50GB of Dropbox space, if not I'll remove it.
Some things I didn't remove because I couldn't find information on them. I only removed stuff I knew was safe to remove. I'm working on getting a kernel with at least init.d by unpacking, editing, and repacking but I'm not planning on trying to find the source and compile a new kernel.

It may be possible that they as a manufacturer don't care. When I had my Motorola I was told by them that they could care less if you rooted it or installed a custom ROM. The manufacturer warranty was applicable either way, it was the carriers that cared and charged for replacements of rooted devices. I have no idea if that applies to Samsung, but its possible I guess.
Samsung devices also include Knox for the enterprise and security. So a company can purchase Samsung devices and guarantee their devices and network aren't compromised. The NSA even said that Knox was secure enough for the government to use it.

You would need to contact Samsung yourself to find out. My device has no warranty. I'm sailing solo lol.
