Thanks! Finally!
Someone tried to root this by CF Auto Root?
Any other ideas?
Thank you been waiting forever, its a great help to have all on same OS version.
CWM AutoRoot seems to work, but be aware of KNOX flag... and if you update to 4.4.2, with new bootloader, you will not be able to downgrade to 4.2.2 again (in a stock way).

Use the cf-auto-root... after reboot go to play store and update the supersu. Disable knox when you got the message from supersu.

Just download the zip file, unzip, Open Odin 3.09, Select the file in the AP slot in Odin, and go.
When it finished, everything was still there and it's just fine sofar. Everything looks like it does in the 5100 version.
Before I saw this thread... There are a bunch of peeps installing this firmware and are falsely reporting improvements.
Please be advised, that the comments given by the OP are hearsay and are not fact.
At this time 4.2.2 Stock firmware with Xposed 2.6 and proper setups is about the same speed wise as 4.4.2.
As for battery... 4.4.2 won't beat 8 hours with streaming video, and if any small improvement will probably be with apps hibernation. Wireless printing works on all Androids, and full screen as well. SD card is best served by 4.2.2, though some improvements are being made to allow such function with 4.4.2.
4.4.2 is too buggy with apps and what not for me to be happy with such an upgrade. Gosh, it took 4 months since owning my 4110 and 4100 to get apps that function well with 4.2.2. I can imagine another year or so for 4.4.2.
You can root 4.4.2 without KNOX flag... though many are too misled about how to root, and are using old root tools, not the latest and greatest.
Just hate to see someone blindly move to 4.4.2 without really understanding pros and cons. Seems like peeps are wanting what others have on newer devices. There is a reason Windows XP users scoff at upgrading. Not that I am pro 4.2.2, just find it more useful to my expectations than the upgrade, one being SD card compatibility... over 7,000 MP3 songs and video, with mapped system folders to SD.

Hello.
Because I do not remember correctly, I have knox 0x1, and I read somewhere it is not possible to upgrade to official roms if knox has been triggered.
Can I update my phone to 4.4.2 with knox triggered?
Yes you can via Odin
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Knox doesn't affect using official stock roms. It's only for warranty purposes and for the actual knox container itself.
As Dahdoul said, grab it and flash via ODIN.
Be warned. Once you upgrade there's no returning to 4.3 as the bootloader locks you into KK.

5.0.2? or 5.1

I just purchased a 900 model off ebay, along with a Logitech folio keyboard, for around 430 bucks. It isn't here yet... I'm moving from an Asus TF700 (great little tablet but only 1g of memory limits it). How long is the usual wait for a new Samsung update to a tablet to makes its way from the Netherlands (?!) to the USA? Not exactly, of course, but any educated guesses?

Odin flashing this does not wipe(you may have serious issues if you do not wipe before the odin flash since you are upgrading from KitKat). I wiped then installed this via Odin. I then Odin flashed the newest TWRP and flashed SuperSU in TWRP to get root. I finished the initial setup and am now letting it reinstall all the apps I wanted. Odin flashing TWRP was a pain because if you cannot immediately boot in to TWRP after the Odin flash it will not take. It took me a few tries to make it work but it will work.

I too had this problem this morning.
I think my issue was using the wrong version of Odin to start with.
I tried again with Odin v3.06 and it worked fine.
Not tried rooting it again yet as the only reason I had for rooting in KitKat was to get all apps to have right access to the external SD. But Lollipop gives back the access
Can someone pleaseeeeeeee be kind enough to reupload the file to google drive? I'm getting sick of these file sharing sites.

and thank you
Hi All,
After searching for this particular stock ROM for United Kingdom I had no luck other than websites which let you download at crawling speeds (not that I'm complaining, it's free). For that reason I thought I'd give something back and share a MEGA link to save you a good hour and a half. The ROM details are:
PDA: N9005XXUGBOK6
CSC: N9005BTUGBOJ1
Version: 5.0
Download Link:https://mega.nz/
As per usual, I take no responsibility. It is your responsibility to verify the file provided so please ensure this is the correct ROM for our phone before flashing.

The n900s is for Sprint in the USA which, I believe has a locked bootloader. With a locked bootloader, non-Samsung software can be flashed to the phone.
