You can only get FOTA updates on unmodifed devices just now. The latest firmwares are available from from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com. Just flash whatever you like with Odin.

is there any way to "un-modify" and then flash, and they re-modify, or has that ship sailed and that's that?

As I understand it, the flash counter is still present albeit hidden in the Note 3.
According to the TriangleAway changelog, resetting it isn't possible and we already know that Knox warranty can't be reset (yet?).

Unbranded stock firmware 4.3 i9505

Where can I get unbranded firmware for my phone? Sick of seeing all these Three boot screens and apps I won't use.
If possible can you link me to a fast download? Something I don't have to wait 10+ hours for
Thank you.

Anyone else who hasn't received the update yet?
I got my Note 3 from Three network and its still on 4.4.2
I didn't wanna root it because i use the Barclay's App and it doesn't work on Rooted Devices.

What does this mean ? Does this mean 5.1.1 is available for our sprint phones

No just to get us all ready for it

This is 5.0.1 and it allows us that we're stuck on OE1 to upgrade to the latest firmware

I have Kies. Says i already have latest firmware. I am, however, on a custom ROM. If i nandroid a backup of TWRP/rooted will i be able to upgrade still? Or should i probably just ODIN it?

I was on Rooted OB7, Kies told me OF5 was latest and updated me about 10 minutes ago. It took a long time to optimize the apps, (It did it 4 times!) and restarted at least 4 times after update. Things seem to be settling down now. The phone kept all my data, so if you can update using Kies you probably won't have to restore a backup. Also, the phone got real hot during the optimizing, you might want to take it out of any case you are using to keep it from overheating.

Does the TAR delete everything off your phone?
