Didn't use the phone much after it, but i didn't notice any difference....Oh well

Keep in mind its just 16mb update mostly security/patches but i think and feel it's much faster smoother then before.
I think we'll get another update in the following weeks with bigger changes.

Ya I noticed it was pretty small, what we want is KITKATTTTTTTTT

What country
[True Friendship doesn't exist]

I think its for i9500.

thanks but i knew that already, what i meant was that most regions have no 4.3 update yet(only 3 or 4 countries) and its been 2 weeks since the supposed "rollout" started
guess i will have to flash again, how lame

Oh ok..ya, it is increasing like every 2 days, but just flash the one closest to your country...it doesn't really matter much other than CSC mostly..

i dont like flashing stuff before the warranty expires but well, what else can i do i guess

I don't think this voids your warranty, because you are still on stock firmware....you don't need root or a custom recovery!

Just got an OTA from MJ5 to 8. Phone generally feels the same. Nothing new observed by me other than "maybe" a little better RAM management.

Here - You should also read up a lot more before playing with your device or you'll end up with a beautiful paperweight.

it wont tripp knox and as your in uk knox dont matter we are void from knox some law

Ah right I thought using odin would trip knox, will I not need to update my bootloader in order to install the Polish firmware?
Also will i be able to revert back to the UK firmware once it has been released?
Thanks guys

yes you have to get bootloader and when uk comes out you might have to flash again with odin

heres the update if you want to do it
but you cant go back to 4.3 and ive read 4.4.2 is a bit buggy

Maybe that's why they haven't rolled it out in other countries yet, I will probably just wait then because I use my note 3 as my daily driver so I'd rather it was 100%

same for me,only thing that don't work is sky sports mobile
there is no need to install a different bootloader

I chose the Spotify package and can confirm that it works fine. .when I first flashed I had a Samsung keyboard issue, but did a full factory reset and it's gone now..also rooted and cwm recovery installed with no issues..

I have a note 3 locked to 3 carrier..if I download the leaked update and flash it using Odin (my fone is not rooted) will it cause any problems?
Since my fone is carrier locked and 3 haven't pushed an update yet.
Thanks in advance
P.s I'm a total noon at flashing so sorry in advance for dumb questions.

I think it is not a 100% safe thing to try to update a carrier-locked Note3 - given that you also do not have a lot of experience I would suggest waiting a little more (and in the meantime reading in the many threads around and searching for somobody else with a carrier-locked Note 3 from the same 3 UK carrier).

You can get a free unlock code from three, got mine installed polish kit kat no problems.

Just to mention that some 3rd party apps still require updates from developers to work on 4.4 so if you don't mind waiting a month or two this should also give them time too.

So if I get it unlocked, then its OK to flash the official update?
Basically I just want yo know the effect of flashing an official ROM on a carrier locked fone.
Yeah I've been reading the threads so I know how to flash it using Odin.just wanted to know will it be OK or will my fone go KU-KU
Sorry if I'm eating your brains

You can flash even if it's network locked. It will stay network locked... But won't be a problem. You can also get your phone unlocked free from three.

You will loose root unless you use mobile odin with the keep root feature, and boot into download, then flash the bootloader. I don't think there's a de la vega style root on 4.4.

For the root, you will have to do it again. It's not a problem.
For Knox, make your own opinion
And read, read, read the topics

AFAIK, there are none. It is only that you have some Russian apps preinstalled on the system. You can remove them anyway.

Does "etc etc" include ignoring forum rules by bumping your own post after a ludicrously short time? No? Maybe it's some kind of insider knowledge about "official 4.4 rom", which doesn't exist? No, not that either.. How about learning to search yourself? Apparently not.
Carry on then master.. Jeez.
