Canadian 4.3 ?

Hi all,
my S4 is currently running stock 4.2.2 MG1 rooted and both the phone and Kies refuse to tell me if there is an upgrade available.
In the past Kies would let me get the OTA but I guess Samsung made some change.
So is there an update available (4.3) for Canadian (I337) S4 and how can I install it ?
Is root available yet ?
Thank you.

??? If your phone is rooted you do know your NOT suppose to accept OTA or you will ruin phone.
There are plenty of custom 4.3 rooms out there.

not really I always installed OTA updates using Kies with my SGS3/SGS4/Note 10.1 , 2 times each at least.
You just loose root access , thats it.

Should I update to 4.4.2

I have n9005 rooted so I think I wont get OTA update. Should I update to 4.4.2 and download firmware from sammobile is that reliable?
I dont know my phone is locked version or not.
On my galaxy s4 when I updated by odin I felt the phone became little slow.
I dont know should I do it on my note 3 or not
What do you guys on xda suggest?

I updated my phone to kit kat the same day that i got it, i havent noticed any slow downs at all, the only thing that i regret is that i update without thinking about a downgrade, so i whould sugest you to update using a firmware without a locked booloader.

Unless you have a specific model of Note 3 (N900W) the KK bootloader won't allow you to go back to JB.
If you have an N9005 I wouldn't recommend flashing N900W firmware as bricking can be upsetting...

Yes, but you can't go back to JB once you upgrade to KK...
Go to Sammobile.com to find out if your region has it. If not you can upgrade to another region's KK, just avoid carrier roms as they require a pit file to flash too...

1. Mine never has.
2. At Sammobile it says - UK (Vodafone) - this is a carrier rom.
If it says UK then its a generic stock rom...
You will have to re-root after update but make sure its the KK cf-autoroot (if you use that).
As you are rooted I'm assuming you have Knox warranty void at 0x1.
If not do a search on how to update to KK using Mobile ODIN, that way you can retain root but still have Knox at 0x0...

Just an update. I was able to root N9005DXUGNH1 firmware without tripping knox using _alxndr method which means towel root did work. My problem now is my wifi, Sammobile has not released DXUGNH1 firmware yet on their website which means i wont be able to download its kernel to fix my wifi issue(tried DXUFNG2 at the moment) My question is that can I downgrade to DXUFNG2 firmware since I believe both would have the same bootloader I guess or wait till Sammobile uploads DXUGNH1 on their website which I dont know how long will they take to do so. I currently only have 3gb data plan so I would wish to fix this wifi issue more quickly as possible. Would really appreciate your Ideas. Thanks

Wondering this too. Flashing an official 910F version in Odin doesn't work, I wonder if we can however use 910F based custom ROMs? I believe the F model is the closest to the Aussie version as we normally get the same Sammy models are Europe, I think some additional bands to support CAT6 LTE for our networks was added in the G version which is the only difference.

Isnt that for a business. I should not need to install my knox. I paid $1000 for my phone the day it came out and KNOX should bloody work the piece of crap. Also when i boot into recovery it says INSTALLING UPDATE for about 45 secs, everytime i boot into it, so whats it installing???. Also i can do anything in recovery but when i reboot out of recovery it flashes a quick Error sign. Is this normal??? Can anybody shed some light. Samsung said its normal but i never had system update and error when booting into recovery in any other samsung device.

Note 3 (SM-N9005) reboots after installing Apps

Hi. I got a problem here. Whenever the phone finishes install an app (from Play Store), my phone would just reboot randomly. Is there any solution for this.
Thank you.
My Note 3 (SM-N9005) is running on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) / Not Rooted.

Weird issue. How long have you been running your current firmware?
Don't want to sound too obvious but maybe you'll need factory reset

I used this firmware for a few months already. I tried downgrading to Android KitKat (4.4.2), the issue wasn't present, until after I updated my Note 3 to Lollipop. I have just factory reset 2 days ago, by the way.

The Lollipop Update was an OTA update. And yes, I have flashed the correct firmware for my region.

Try flashing the entire ROM twice with Odin with a factory reset between each flash.
Stock ROMs can be found at updato.com or sammobile.com.

Yeah..me also got same issue as yours with official lollipop rom..
After flash custom roms..all issue gone
Dont know oso why...

Is there any Samsung Stock Ported ROMS for Note 3 (N9005) that I can install on my device?

Not sure what you mean by Stock Ported .
Samsung stock based custom roms are in the Android Development section .
