How did you get it without a contract? Was it on eBay or something? AT&T is only offering the refurb N3 on a 2 year contract. $250 sounds like a great deal. Did you have to pay for activation as well?
They had a special on the Saturday before Easter. They tried charging me for the activation but i asked them to please get rid of that ridiculous charge and they gave me a 36 credit

You do realize that activation fees and contract are two different things, right?

Did you get it online or did you call AT&T? I tried online but its not showing as free if I upgrade my current line. Is it only for new customers?

If you took the OFFICIAL over the air update to 4.4.2, you are stuck on it and unrootable. Is that what you are saying?
Yep, all Note 3s come with 4.3 installed. Perfect for rooting!
This is all great news. I have been freaking out that it would come with 4.4 installed (since the details of the phone on the ATT website says Android OS 4.4)
Mine is on the truck and out for delivery so it should be at my house waiting for me when I get home. Can't wait to root and SS (although I have no experience with SS).
My understanding is, and please correct me if I am wrong, if it comes with 4.3 then I will be able to root, install SS and then install a custom TW rom but I will not be able to install any AOSP Rom's.
Guess it's time to do some research.
Thanks for the help guys.
Sapps
ps. Will the phone try to autoupdate to 4.4 when I turn it on? If so, is there a way to stop that process before it begins? Should I turn it on with no SIM and no WIFI? and then root?
Got my refurn it jumped to NB4 what safestrap should i use
I just got my note 3 att refurn exchange after a kitkat update.. (Worked for exchange) and it auto updated to NB4. I am still un 4.3.
I was able to root it with Kingo, I put the 3.71 safestrap in.. What Roms can I load. Do I have to be back on MJ5 or will the NB4 work with custom roms loaded with safestrap. I Froze att updates with titanium. I don't want to loose root or safestrap. Can I put any custom 4.3 while on NB4? Please help have gone through 100's of pages trying to find this answer.
Can I put in any custom kitkat roms with the 3.71 safestrap. All help is appreciated.
As an update....I received my refurbished Note 3 yesterday. Took out the sim, charged battery, turned it on. Rooted with Kingoroot. Installed 3.71 SS. Followed the procedure for upgrading to 4.4 using leaked version.
So now all is right with the world. I have my Note and it is rooted. Yes, I'll miss AOSP roms for now, but I'll survive.
Sapps
PS. In case someone is wondering, I took the SIM out to make sure that it didnt get a forced OTA update to KK like I have seen many mention they were victims of.

Sounds good! I am in the same boat. Will be getting a refurbed one in a few days. Just curious, after you installed the leaked KK version, did OTA still come on, since it is not the same version as the official KK?

No, I havent seen any requests and I am not expecting any. It is my understanding that OTA would not work for those running custom ROM's but I could be wrong about the reason but I am pretty sure that we wouldnt see the OTA request.
I got my refurb Note 3 with 4.4.2 already installed.
I was hoping for 4.3 so I could root it isn't bad stock after disabling a ton of bloat. Just wish I could link ringtone and notification volumes.

Didnt realize it would be a staged rollout....
I'm running CM-11, but I haven't seen it the update on Sammobile. I wouldn't think these sold in such numbers to warrant a staged rollout either, though.

Me either, all these sites say it released but no one that i talk to that has one has the update.... so are they just going by the samsung site that you have the link to? I was pretty amped earlier when i read about this then i cant get the update. Its just disappointing lol
I'm just waiting for root for it then I will update. I don't want to update and not be able to remove the crap I don't use. If I knew how to make a rooted version, I would do it but I don't know anything about development. Oh well, I guess the wait won't kill me.
Sammy Jumped The Gun
It is starting to seem as if Samsung jumped the gun on this one. I think they released it alright, but released it to TMO for testing, etc. I know quite a few people that have this exact same model on TMO and they all live in different areas of the country. Not one has received it. Samfirmware has no link for it, and they don't even mention it. And for the most part if there is a new version out, they know and quick. And of course 4.4.4 is not available in KIES.
This is why I believe Sammy sent 4.4.4 to TMO and not to us, or at least not yet. We all know how the carriers are. At this point I'd rather not have 4.4.4 and wait for 5.0, but it will be a very long wait, unless I go CM12 when it is stable...

You're using CM-11 for the P607T model of the tablet? I've been looking for months for ROMs but haven't found any that work specifically for the P607T, which is the Tmo variant of the tablet.
Those who have 4.4.4, can you still root with Towelroot?
I am contemplating buying the P607t, which probably will have 4.4.4 by now and would not buy it if there is no root for 4.4.4 that won't trip KNOX. I returned the Wifi version for this exact reason.

I think you are absolutely correct
I just got the 4.4.4 update
Received 4.4.4 update
Update rolled out to my device as well.
I went ahead with the update, since all I really used root for was Titanium Backup and ES File Explorer.
Failed first time (likely because of root)
Removed root (under Cleanup section of super su FULL Cleanup)
Second attempt succeeded.
Towelroot failed to reroot.
If you are dependent on root, don't update until there is a new method found. Looks like towelroot is plugged on this one.

I got the notification for the update this morning, holding off until someone can confirm root capability. As with any new update, we will need to wait until people can get their hands on it and mess around to see if rooting is possible.
What are your initial thoughts on 4.4.4?

It's happening! LMY47Z.
Not yet hitting my phone, but perhaps by tomorrow ...
I had Verizon's 5.1 build on my phone, but I didn't wait. I just flashed 47Z because I'm on an AT&T MVNO, so I don't know if I would have received the OTA.
It's not on the official Nexus factory image page.

Someone on androidcentral forums confirmed it is. they received LMY47Z as an OTA to their verizon nexus 6 last night coming from E.
I got the ota yesterday, unrooted, flashed stock recovery, and went to accept the ota, started flashing then it said error and stopped, now it says up to date
I just want know if they changed radio but I doubt
Does it have any "Verizon authorized software" added?
I hope it doesn't but according to the letters Verizon sent out responding to the FCC complaints that is why they would not activate a nonVerizon Nexus 6 on their network until Google said that the software could be sent out to those phones via the OTA.

Same baseband as the existing LMY47Z
To anyone who's receiving the OTA from LMY47E to LMY47Z - if you're able to, please take a few minutes to grab the OTA URL and share it in this thread. Instructions for getting the OTA URL can be found here, and this will allow people who haven't received the OTA to sideload it.
Thanks!
Question, I have a VZW Nexus 6 I got from a Verizon store a few weeks ago. My firmware version is LMY47l
Is that the correct one? I see you guys talking about an "E" version... When I went back from Android M preview, did I flash the wrong stock ROM in Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit?

Nope and if a phone from Verizon came with that, you were likely sold a returned device instead of a new one.

No, this is my fault. I tried out the Android M preview, and got tired of the FC's and bugs, so I used the Nexus Tool Kit to flash back to stock, and I guess I grabbed the wrong firmware download. I have the Z version for Verizon and will flash that to get me back on track.

Did the upgrade this morning. Bit of a heart stop when it sat at the Verizon screen for about 5 minutes on the reboot, but then it finally brought up the updating apps screen.
Only problem I've found so far is that for some reason, it removed just about every one of my purchased apps. All the free ones were there, but had to go out to the store and re-download all those I had bought. Strange...
Verizon Messenging crashes for me, but if I uninstall the Verizon Messenging app update it will work. Other than that 5.1.1 working thus far.

I too am awaiting confirmation on this before updating
I have the update.zip if it will help any devs with root or bootloader unlocking. It seems the update is a 2-parter, I have the the first update which according to the description "prepares your device for the 5.1.1 update." Please contact me if anyone can use it
Due to some new policies at work, Rooted devices weren't allowed to be connected to our E-mail, so I went ahead and took the plunge to 5.1.1 without worrying about rooting (gasp....did I just say that?). Anyhow, this thing feels like a new device. Much smoother, more responsive and it seems that the battery life is actually improved. IF Root does come along for the 5.1.1 update, I may root it and just use one of my other tablets for work, but I'm pleasantly surprised how well the NP runs at this point. Also...REALLY surprised that Verizon actually had the 5.1.1 update.

Hi - I just got my NP today delivered and got the new OTA update. Can you provide any of the root methods that previously worked for you on the P905v? You stated that your job doesnt allow the rooted device but I am wondering if this one can be rooted still any way? I want to run linux deploy on here to run Fedora or Ubuntu but always end up down a rabbit trail with this setup that I can never get out of

I don't think there's a root yet for the Verizon variant, and I've not actively searched for one at this point. It was needed while the Tablet was on 4.4.2, but 5.1.1 gives me enough control not to worry about it too much right now. Before I used Towelroot, which will NOT work on the new version.

Thanks for the feedback!
I have a specific reason to root and thats to use linux deploy so I can have a fully functional Linux OS on my tablet which would be really ideal so I think the root is still required. What control did you gain in upgrading to 5.1.1 ? Linux deploy needs root and SELinux permissive, from what I can tell, to use a loopback device and install the Linux OS there so I think even if I did get root, I'd still need to custom compile a kernel and to that end, I am not too confident in possibly bricking my brand new tablet. For now I seem to be able to settle on a VNC session to a Linux VM I have on DigitalOcean
i'm totally excited that my NP will eventually be updated to 5.1.1 it's just i'm still completely confused on why my stock (no-carrier) branded NP is still on 5.0.1, when Big-Red carrier is rolling out 5.1.1 to their devices.
I think I can smell the money being transferred to Sammy for Bid-Red's propriety rollout.

I've actually noticed less bloatware, and apps that I couldn't disable before (which is why I rooted so I could get rid of them), I can disable now. I have a 128GB card in it loaded with Music, Books, Images, and on 4.4.2-the device would often F/C which it's no longer doing. I've also noticed that the micro-stutters as I call them, are gone. Everything is a lot smoother.

Mine came over Wifi but I've always had my Verizon SIM in. Not sure if there was a pre-check before downloading.
I'm upgrading my rooted tablet now using Kies (I figure the upgrade is worth risking losing root--but I'm not sure it'll work anyway since I outright deleted Knox). I'll let you know if TR works to re-root, or if I lose root in the first place.

dot dot dot ... apparently I didn't read the threads above I'm upgrading regardless.
Just got my OTA for the Verizon update. Given the success in the P-605 thread with achieving root post install, I'm taking the update and will report back.
Here's some more info - http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-2014-update/
Ran into an install error (the infamous error 402), so having to use Verizon's Software Updater to try to get it to install.

Can't get installed. It is a 2 step update and I got a 402 error on the 2nd update. Thought from searching that I could use the built in Verizon Software Update utility but getting an incompatible Firmware error from it. The new versions aren't up on Kies yet and trying to Odin back to the previous is erroring out (though trying once more now).
So at this point I'm stuck until they release the latest through Kies or I find a chunk of time to get on the phone with Verizon tech support.
i get an error also. i even factory reset my device to see if itll go through and still a no. "Update failed, 402"

Unfortunately I suspect we are stuck until they either update the Verizon Update app to recognize the new firmware versions or Samsung releases it through Kids..... I don't remember what the normal delay is between OTA and Kies but suspect it will be a week or so.

I don't know, my 14 great old can be pretty sharp I even caught that the first time spell check "corrected" it, guess it decided even after two times I still didn't want to spell it Kies....
So here is the latest. After chatting with a helpful Verizon rep, they said that due to the device having been previously rooted (even though I had uninstalled root prior to updating) that might be causing the issue and that I'd have to talk with Samsung. The Samsung rep said that yes, the reported baseband is 5.1.1 so that is likely causing the issue that it took the 1st OTA but not the second. Unfortunately they can't update it through Smart Switch (their Kies replacement) and said I'd have to take it into a Samsung service center in a Best Buy since they'd have the tools to get it on the right firmware. Heading there today or tomorrow so will report back.....
i went to bestbuy and the samsung guy tried to be very helpful but he couldn't, his programs dont show an update for our devices yet. He wouldnt believe me when i told him im suppose to get 5.1.1. Note pro 12 doesnt have 5.1 theres no way note 10.1 is getting it is what he told me.
Then i inserted my phones sim into the note 10.1 and we checked for an update, he saw the error and he saw that there was an update 5.1.1 available for download. We tryed to update it again but it also failed.
So i went home after spending 1 hour at bestbuy without success.
The tech I met with ran a diagnostic and identified that I had a "binary mismatch" which requires 2 hours to fully reflash the device. He unfortunately didn't know how to do it so I have to go back when the more experienced tech is working.
I think we are all in the same boat. I received and installed the first OTA update, then the second one failed with the 402 error. I tried Kies and it states that I have the latest firmware. The 402 error seems common with Verizon OTA updates. I may try a trip to Best Buy also, but I don't think that the update is in full effect yet. One positive for me, the tablet seems a bit better after the first OTA received yesterday.
I was told once they get the update on their computers they can push it to any device. Hopefully thats the case.
I wonder if we can odin back to the previous version we had. If it works it'll be all stock without any root history. Maybe it'll work that way.
Just thinking out loud

Tried Odin with 4.4.2 but ran into the same binary mismatch. Assumed it was from a changed bootloader, but not technical enough to know.
Likewise think that might be a path forward once they publish the firmware, but no sign of it yet (I know it normally takes a week or so to see it show up on SamMobile)
How did you root? Has anyone had success with this? Is your tablet still usable?

I got the update. It was available through Kies this morning. Installed without any problems.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll see if it will install and save me a trip to Best Buy today

Haven't yet. After the headaches of getting it installed may take a breather before rooting. Here's a good summary from the P605 thread (obviously skipping the first couple of flashes and starting with the permissive kernel flashing) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xy-note-10-t3215876/post63187053#post63187053

My bad...my question was how did you root before the update? With towelroot? Does that make a difference or was it just a bad update from vzw?
Sent from my SM-P605V using Tapatalk
Mine was rooted with towelroot. The first update wiped out root. The OTA error for the second update can happened whether you are rooted or not.
I got my phone today, had to change delivery date because I wasn't home on the 12th. There was a system update that improves call quality or something. So, big question. Did anyone who installed stock Moto firmware without the Amazon bloat still get the update? If so, what was the outcome? Thanks. :good:

I don't think there was a system update for the US model today.

I got it (and did it because I know better, but wanted the improved call quality...).
Anyway...

Yeah, U.S. user here. Got it. Wasn't lying Thanks for the screenshot yo.
Thanks...It looks like the build and kernel changed but the baseband remained the same. I'll be curious to see if anyone that flashed over the original Amazon rom gets it.

I haven't been able to receive the update. Tried searching both when my bootloader was locked running Amazon bloat OS, and unlocked running almost-stock OS.
I imagine it's going to trickle out over time. Previous OTA's have done that. Also, I went ahead and signed up for Motorola's feedback program. I was a soak on tester on two previous phones and hopefully I'll get chosen on this one. Being on the odd roms doesn't matter according to the Motorola engineer I talked to. He said they also push the soaks out to the Consumer Cellular, Straight Talk, etc specific roms just like they do for all Moto roms since they need to be tested like any other rom. A buddy of mine actually got a Consumer Cellular soak rom on his AT&T phone while soak testing.

I flashed my to stock oem, no update yet.
Thanks for the responses. I haven't done anything to my phone yet....wanted to be certain of some things first lol. Honestly, the amazon ads aren't bothering me like I thought they would. It's a great phone. I'm liking it. But I've had my nexus 5 for a long time, so almost anything is better haha. The quick charge 3.0 is awesome. I am just wondering if the Amazon bloat or ads do hinder the battery life?
Any update on extracting the full bloat Amazon ROM yet for those that want to go back to full Amazon stock?

File is there to add the bloat back.
Been looking...Is this latest version posted anywhere?

Sorry for the noob question. Does getting an OTA depend on a sim being in the phone or not? My amazon moto g4 is a secondary phone and mostly just on wifi.

Not that noob of a question. I never thought about it that much but I would think no, it doesn't have to be in.

Rootjunky is working on a script to flash back to the Amazon firmware using the oem.img from my Amazon Moto G4
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------
He says that you'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the oem.img but after you flash it you will be able to take ota updates.
Anyone know if Verizon has updated their system to accept the phone yet. US version

Have you been on the Motorola forums? There's a big thread over there the mods are working on about that. Motorola says they're supposed to work and Verizon says the G4 isn't approved yet. I haven't followed it completely but I thought I saw where some people got their phone activated and some still couldn't.

read post 3 it will be help full http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/development/moto-g-4th-gen-how-to-remove-amazon-t3416587
Another probably noob question: it says the update cannot be removed. I allowed Samsung to update my note 2 and then couldn't ever get it to go back. I don't want Lenovo/Amazon to pull the same fast one on me.

If I'm reading your question right then no it cant be removed but you can flash the full rom and go back.
