I dont have an AT&T Note 3 but I am willing to walk someone through how to grab them (you must still be MJ5 or lower) C'mon guys this ia community where we're supposed to help each other. If you look at my posts you can see I've posted countless Odin tars for the Galaxy S4. I dont want any of the downgrade tars or one clicks, and yes I know how to make them and and I know what they do, I just want the original unaltered files. I will post them for everyone via AFH if someone is willing to grab the OTA.zip and/or Odin tars. If you have them please post them. Id also be willing to make a stock deodex rom if thats what It takes. If these are already posted somewhere can someone direct me to them? I couldnt find a post that had them.
To get the Odin tars:
1. Google and download Kies and Fus Downloader
2. post here and il give more directions
To grab the OTA.zip:
1. Download the zip from the update notification and make sure you are rooted
2. go to /cache/fota or /fota and upload the update.zip then delete or move the ota from /cache or /fota so that you dont accidently update if you dont want to
bump
From the nb4 update thread
It fails out for me, likely because I've deleted some of the bloat I'm guessing. Deletes when it reboots, but the next time it finishes downloading I'll choose the Safestrap recovery when it's booting and copy it out. /cache/fota/2400258.cfg correct? that seems to be the only file that's growing during the download.

If someone will post (or PM me) instructions, I'll try to "borrow" my wife's untouched N3 long enough to pull the ROM. It's not MJ5, though. Unless you catch it fast enough (which she didn't), it's NB4 now. (And yes, I know how to use adb and a command line.)

Stupid question...
What do I do with these files? Are they Odin files? Sorry... just returning from the dark side (apple) after almost a year. I just want a taste of this new update. :silly:
Those are the OTA cfg (or zip - they have to be named zip to sideload them) files from before I know what version to MI1 to MI9 to ... up to 4.42. What the thread originally asked for.

So I can abd side load these and it'll install that version of the firmware? Sorry for all the dumb questions... Never had this problem with my GTN7100.
My understanding is that you can put the file on your external sd card (if you have one), boot to recovery, go to install zip from external source (I think that's the wording) and install from there, or you can sideload with adb.
Start with the file one version above the one you're on and keep going until you get to NB4.
But wait for confirmation from someone who actually knows what he's talking about. I've sold phones, I've repaired phones, I've written huge software systems, but I'm not anywhere near being a cellphone dev.
(After that it's your choice whether to go on to KK or not. I'm not giving up root and Safestrap for a slight increase in speed that I don't need anyway.)
We waiting for you ^^. My Note 3 get leak version 4.4.2 and i have just restore it to MJ5 follow the turial in forum but after that i read some disscusion thread i know that many people can't update OTA to 4.4.2. So i decide waiting your product.
Good work guys!!!

@Surge1223 and @bajasur
Here is something to get you started and do it fast I'll do it myself but damn college is pain in my ass.
1. Patching files using adb. Look here
2. Extracting Patching lines & Delete lines from updater script. Here is bash script.
3. Patching on linux (Much faster than adb) Look at this thread and also this post from thread.
4. Extracting files from .ext4 here
5. Odin packages.
So... Are you looking to make it possible to downgrade? Or... Yeah...
If so, I am willing to test.

Here are my custom CWM recovery OTA updates for the international S3
NOTE: For STOCK Rom users only. Your CSC must be I9300OXABLG6. If you have made any changes to files in the /system folder it will fail.
If like me your using a stock ROM rooted with custom recovery or kernel and want to update without downloading the whole ROM and risk losing root and recovery in the process. These modded updates are for you to save time, bandwith and frustration.
Current OTA update: XXBLG6 to XXBLG8
ota.update.all.XXBLG8.zip 4 MB
ota.update.no.modem.XXBLG8.zip 4 MB
ota.update.no.kernel.XXBLG8.zip 542 KB
ota.update.no.kernel.and.modem.XXBLG8.zip 541 KB
All the zips here will not replace your custom recovery or remove root. The no kernel and no modem zips are intended for users with a custom kernel and or want to keep their current baseband.
Tested and working on CWM 6.0.1.0 Touch and Chainfire's CWM 5.5.0.4
If you've got the OTA update notification nag, to get rid of it do this:
1. Using a file explorer with root permissions, I use ES. Go to /cache/fota ,In there will be the update.zip
2. Delete it or move it to your sd card.
3. Bring up the updater from the notifications and press install and OK, it should fail.
4. Notification nag gone.
Older OTA updates:
Austria (T-Mobile)
ota.update.XXALE8-XXBLFB.CSC-MAXLF2.zip 72 MB
ota.update.no.kernel.XXALE8-XXBLFB.CSC-MAXLF2.zip 67 MB
If you have got any older OTA updates, could you make them available for download so I can convert them.
Nice work mate, I'm sure a lot of people will find this very useful.

+1 very well done. People who have not recieved ota or for some reason are still on lg6 like me will love it
Could you help converting other OTA updates as well? I got a I9300XXALE8 and an OTA update of I9300XXBLFB,
Do I need a full wipe to flash them?
Thanks.

Its in the '/cache/recovery' folder. That status 7 error means it failed the assert test for the model fingerprint I believe. You can only flash this update on a XXBLG6 rom and your CSC must be I9300OXABLG6. To check what ROM and CSC your using, do this.
1. Open your keypad dialer
2. Press *#1234#
3. It should show your ROM and CSC. AP = ROM and CP = Baseband.

Hi, here you find old (and new) official Nexus S complete images or also just the OTA updates:
http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/
Thanks for the link, unfortunately fastboot images nor the update zips will currently work for me. I imagine that I could, but I don't know how to, make a clockworkmod flashable kernel zip out of the fastboot image. I understand that I would need to extract boot from the image, but making it ready for cwm flashable is over my head.

Yes you have to download the complete fastboot image later you can extract only boot partition using 7zip.
Later read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875739
Download this custom kernel.zip and paste inside the stock boot, this will give the instruction to correctly flash the partition. At the end you can use CWM to flash this zip file. If I helped you just click thank button.
If that don't work, a last try could be to post your problem also here:

-create mj3 rdlv
-Flash created Firmware
- do the sd Card part
[when mj6 german is out]
-create mj6 rdlv
-Flash created Firmware
-do the sd Card part
?? some ppl said something about other files i had to Flash ??
pls confirm/correct me give newies a chance to get pros
sorry, but as I have written it, my CSC is part of the CSC from the stock BTU MJ6 (XEF) and i won't take the risk to play with other CSC even if it seems to can be done
Maybe someone who has unbranded his unit can help you
EDIT : and for the second part, yes use RDLV and add to the zip the boot, non-hlos, modem and hidden part from the stock MJ6 you will use

Hi all,
Please read the whole thread before working on it.
I know everyone is frustrating in upgrading to 4.4.2 but brick during odin process (ext4 fail) and stuck in 4.4.2 bootloader.
Here is the method to solve this problem:
Before working on it, we have to prepare the following things:
1. Odin 3.07 (Yes, 3.09 does not work)
2. HK firmware odin pack (Pit, BL (DO NOT WORK WITH IT, AP, CP, CSC): http://pan.baidu.com/s/1Bvm6g (Sorry for giving the chinese link, I hope someone to make a new link for me)
3. 4.4.2 leaked firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608178
4. 4.4.2 rom, I used sweet rom v.7 to fix it
5. 4.4.2 recovery cwm
5. Samsung driver (bullshxt)
Now lets get started:
1. Flash the 4.4.2 firmware BL by odin.
2. Flash the HK Firmware AP, CP &CSC (Do not use the HK firmware BL)
3. once it done, turn to Download mode again and flash 4.4.2 recovery cwm by odin
4. Run Recovery
5. Wipe everything
6. Flash 4.4.2 rom ( I flashed sweet rom v7 currently)
7. Boot to system and do all the setting ( The sound and the signal are not working)
8. Boot back to download mode
9. Boot the 4.4.2 leaked firmware's CP ( DO NOT WIPE AFTERWARD)
10. Prepare coffee and cookies
11. Enjoy your device!

Hi all,

I know everyone is frustrating in upgrading to 4.4.2 but brick during odin process (ext4 fail) and stuck in 4.4.2 bootloader.
Here is the method to solve this problem:

I'm at the stage just before CP-ing the leak kitkat. I've had the problems I've mentioned. I will Nandroid backup first, if there is any use...

The Leaked KitKat CP didn't do any good, just harm, the phone keeps hanging, still no volume, no camera, cannot make calls.
Guess there is no way out.

I'm just checking why I couldn't get the Sweet Rom lockscreen, dialer, sound and camera to work. So here are my questions.
1.
In step 1, the firmware BL you used is from Leaked Poland kit kat ?
2. Did you use PIT in any steps?
3. In step 5, wipe everything means data/factory reset, cache and Dalvik?

You mean you have successfully flashed custom ROM but your ROM has problems? If so, you need to consult the ROM author because many of the Custom ROMs are still in the developing stages and still have many bugs

My GS4 i337 keeps rebooting. I flashed Wicked v10 and everything went well except I had no wifi or data. I also noticed that the model number changed. I then proceeded to flash Wicked v10 and it said it was succesful, but when I started it up it would say safestrap enabled and then when it actually tried to boot up the screen went black and after a while it would vibrate twice and try to boot up. I have the AT&T GS4 (i337). What do I do?
Do a data wipe. Sounds like old user data is interfering with boot. Factory reset/data wipe should fix you up. If not, reflash with a dif cable. No data bc most roms require you to manually enter the apn after flashing. I woumd follow a guide while flashing if you're new at this. Dont mean to imply you are. I always wipe after every new rom flash, can fix a lot of "bugs".

I tried to do a data wipe but it says
E: error opening '/datamedia/media'

Also I didn't use a data cable I just flashed it from safestrap recovery. Also I have done multiple factory resets, just doesn't boot. I'm gonna see if I have to do a different rom slot.

Not sure of the implications of this, bc again, i dont use safestrap. Can you use odin yo flash your device back to official stock, and stock recovery. Reroot, reinstall safestrap etc? Might be your best bet. If possible. I wish I could be of more help, but i really am of no use with safestrap. Dont worry, weve all made mistakes, you arent hard bricked so must be recoverable.

Samsung-updates.com has all the stock firmware for all devices. Make sure you read the safestrap faq to ensure you flash a stock compatible with it. I know 4.3 with safestrap is giving ppl fits, may be best to go 4.2.2. Use the firmware archive for older firmwares. I uploaded 4.2.2 to the android section of the thepiratebay.org or thepiratebay.se a month or so ago, as many had requested it.

But the regions are canadian...
And there is no MK2...

I9505 works on i377m, dunno about the i377. Gimme a sec, ill see if i can find your mk2. Big difference that kittle m makes. Your bootloader is locked, hence safestrap, mine isn't (i377m). Not sure if the Canadian wilk run on yours, gimme a few minutes and ill see what i can dig up. If it is compatible, you could just use csc changer to set proper carrier. You will also want to lookup and identify your apn, thats what gives data on roms, without it, no data. Proper region stock has proper apn set auto. Back in a few.

These instructions assume you started with MJ6.
First, make sure you can boot into recovery. If not, download and apply the MJ6 recovery.
recovery-mj6.tar.md5
It should apply without error. If not, report the failure.
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
If you don't already have it, download the mf3-mj9 update file...
update-mf3-mj9.zip
1.Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
2.Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
3.The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
4.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
5.Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
6.The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
7.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
8.The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install recovery-mj6.tar.md5 or i337MK2stockRecovery.tar.md5 (also confirmed work with some users) via ODIN first if u stuck between step 6 and 7 since u are on DOWNLOADING MODE....and then force reboot to get u back to recovery if u coming from MK2 by using combo button (VolUp+Home+Power) or use this Odin Force Reboot .tar File to reboot
9.Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update via adb and open your adb command from computer and use MF3>MK2 update zip files from OP .....HOPE THIS HELP......
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
10.Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
11.You should now have MK2. and last step is to Hit THANK button......
