[Q] MJ7 4.4.2 update for Note 3? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm in Australia, and i'm pretty sure we're the last lot of Note 3 owners to get the 4.4.2 update.
Is there an OTA that we can use to update to 4.4.2?
Currently on 4.3 still MJ7.

You could flash any of the 4.4.2 firmwares available via Odin. Depends how you feel about tripping the Knox counter.
I'm in Australia as well and after my s3 I knew we would be one of the last to get any updates so I just went straight to 4.4.2 via odin.

If he allways install a new oficial version from odin it will never trip Knox counter, i´ve done it myself, i´m using a version from the Netherlands. it will change your csc though...

Also from Aus here. Gave up waiting officially as of yesterday and installed the UK (BTU CSC) firmware via ODIN with no issues at all. I didn't need to wipe my data, it all just worked as though it was a standard upgrade.
Next time I will just import one. Especially with trigger-happy KNOX I couldn't be bothered worrying about whether my Aus warranty is intact (I pad $300 "Aus tax" to buy it local vs import - not worth it). I doubt I tripped my Knox flag as it's an official unmodified first party firmware from Samsung that I installed..

So it didn't wipe apps or anything? Did it install any other boot logo? Or other provider bloatware? Or is it a plain stock Samsung UK firmware? Can you roll it back later?
Just trying to work out if its 100% worth it or if I should wait. I am getting antsy though.

Wait for the official update, or flash another firmware with Odin.

Agreed. I'm also waiting on this update and getting tired of waiting for an official OTA..
There are a number of features in 4.4.x I'm waiting to try out

When flashing other regions firmware, sometimes it comes with the additional bloatware from the region. It's normal.
You can just disable the bloatware from apps manager.
If u tired waiting and wanna try kk, just give it a shot.
Once ur region comes with kk, u can always flash back from odin.

I'm on Optus, but pre-paid. I bought an unbranded phone. Do you have a carrier branded model?

From what I remember I don't really notice a difference in boot logo. But then again, I've always had the unbranded XSA version. If you have a branded version, it will likely revert your boot logo to an unbranded version which may/may not be desirable to you.

Changes :
1.The word "Swipe screen to unlock" appear on lockscreen
2. New Phone Icon
3. Torch widget
4. Wake up significant faster than prev firmware
5. One hand operation option under keyboard
6. Levels of brightness control for browser
Nice!!!Thanks for sharing!!!
Where it released???
For Germany Debitel.
Is this an OTA update which will hit WW? Is it english, not sure if that's a silly question just don't want to download and flash something that is useless!
Need more information really, is it any different? What has changed?
Cheers Merry Christmas!

Have flashed it and it had no bloatware at all. Just a standard Samsung firmware. And it does not lock your phone. I am in Sweden and using it with Three without any problems. But it has the same market problems as KL3 that some local apps might not be available in the market.

I agree...i also got kl3 working with market....but only with step of kka before and not with full wipe...so i will try....but i will earliest find time for it in a few days...and i am sure someeone else will do a deodexed version before
the prob for me to solve the market issues is that i never had it....so i always need testers

Just updated my DBT Note via Kies (in the US). Thanks.
Updated in US via Kies, no problems. I don't see that anything major changed. Anybody see something?
In Aus, downloading the latest Kies... then the Phone update should show.. as I too have a DBT German model.
Took two tries...failed 1st one, nice lump in throat!
Passed 2nd time. MAYBE someone can get this one to root easily
anyone know what it does?

Update done and seems a bit snappier, but that could be confirmation bias
Updated from la4 via mobile odin. All went fine. Kept root as expected. Snappy

Who are having device rooted n wants to keep Root intact, shouldn't update it using KIES/OTA, you will lose Root. N again have to downgrade to get Root access.

heh, I'm not really fussed.
I will only need root when I decide ICS is stable enough to use and then I'll downgrade first and apply root if I have to.
BTW I have bough Mobile Odin Pro. I just haven't used it since I lost root on my last update.
I don't really miss root anyway...
new update via KIES
OK got the new update via kies, OTA didnt work for me..
live in finland and had the stock german la4 (dbt) installed.
Now on LB1
no major changes in this version in my opinion..
got somekind of freeapp website preinstalled.. useless
maybe a little faster, the gallery for sure is loading alot faster for me
also contact list scrolling seems faster and doesnt lag
benchmark showed a average of 4000 same as on LA4
browser is also faster and doesnt lag on pages as it has done on la4
Is it available for download and update via computer based odin as i dont wanna root am on xeu unlocked uk version white note and updated to la4 via kies as samsung cant be bothered pushing out to uk. ...

Well I took the plunge. First I tried Criskelo's ICS V5.1, but I didn't like the theme and very quickly found things that didn't work properly, so then I tried stock LQ2, using Mobile Odin Pro to keep root and the CF-Root V5.6 kernel.
It's early days, but so far I'm happy. Getting set up was a pain - it was only after 2 attempts that I discovered that Bookmark Sort & Backup isn't ICS compatible and was screwing up my Browser. I therefore had to do 2 complete wipes using CF-Root v5.6. This claims to have (probably) fixed the superbrick bug, and it certainly worked fine for me - whew!
I'm missing all the toggles of Jkay because there isn't a version of the 15 toggle mod for stock LQ2, but hopefully that'll come soon and SwipePad replaces the quick launcher panel nicely.
So no regrets yet, but there's still the odd lag here and there, and I can't say it's a significantly better experience. Also I can't sketch to save myself, so the new S-Pen applications aren't important to me. Still, got to move with the times! There's still nothing to replace my wonderful Note.
UK ICS Build (Carphone Warehouse) for Note is super stable
DQ of the day?
Downloaded & installed N7000XEULP4 via this site.
I intend to root again as mobile odin failed to inject root - yes I followed the good Dr's direction.
I used PC Odin, reset to factory in stock recovery (post flash) after 15min wait at the Samsung logo (very tentatively re-set due to massive information about deleting killing partitions, mmc sections etc & the unit is now one stock ics 4.0.3
So after I have rooted following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360.
I wish to re-load a previous ics (paranoid android) am I likely to hit the 'brick-wall')?
Need to ask I killed one note already :mad,

Chain fire's auto root (triggers knox flag) or root de la vega (which shouldn't trigger it). Check the original android development subforum. I have personally used auto root because I don't care about warranty and the second root method wasn't released at the time.

You can search here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
Are you in Vodafone UK? If so, then they still haven't updated your firmware, it's still on MI7. Only Note 3 UK firmware that is updated is the unbranded BTU one, which is up to MJ3.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't flash a different firmware, as in the BTU firmware is different from the VOD firmware, and therefore it wouldn't be possible to flash that firmware (unless I completely wipe data on the phone, which I'd rather not if possible). Right?
Any advice would be appreciated.

L720VPUGOD2 Lollipop stock rom NEEDED

anyone post the new Lollipop stock rom for Sprint Galaxy s4 L720 NON SPARK model software ver L720VPUGOD2 I need it and a hotspot fix Id be glad to send a gratuity for it via paypal thanks Will aka Ponycarboy at the gmail
It hasn't been released yet, it was just announced today. The Hotspot fix won't happen until it is released and rooted. Be patient. Keep an eye on the General and Android Development sections, I'm sure once somebody has it they will post it.

It has actually been released. As per Sprint's device updates page for the 720 and the 720T...... Release Date: 5-20-15.
As for receiving the update, it could be 3-4 weeks before every S4 is served the update as it rolls out in stages, but indeed, some devices will start seeing the update today.
And again until someone actually receives it, it has not been released, only announced.
Anyways, this thread is pointless there are already other threads with discussions about the update, no need to start more. And you definitely don't NEED the update, you want it, your life doesn't depend on it.
In the meantime, Albe95 is 5.0 TW and is running great

It will be available on the forums in a few days most likely, you won't be getting a PM with the ROM before it's posted elsewhere for everyone.
If you want the ability to take an ota update, make sure you are 100% stock and unrooted. You can flash a stock tar to get to that state if you need to.
Edit: you can ask someone who has received the update to post the file or do a system dump

If one theoretically wanted to procure the update, an individual who has already updated to lollipop 5.0 could flash back to 4.4.2 using sammmoble firmware and Odin 3.0.9 on the PC with phone in download mode, factory reset if having boot problems with phone's recovery, check for the update again, perform an OTA Capture BEFORE downloading, copy the URL, install the update to 5.0, maybe factory reset again for completion's sake, and publish the URL here or upload the file to Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. for the rest of us. Such a job would require more time than most are willing to offer. But I will state my theory because I am egar myself. Best to you.

If one theoretically wanted to procure the update, an individual who has already updated to lollipop 5.0 could flash back to 4.4.2 using sammmoble firmware and Odin 3.0.9, factory reset if having boot problems with phone's recovery, check for the update again, download the OTA, copy the cashed file to a micro SD, remove the SD card, install the update to 5.0, maybe factory reset again for completion's sake, and publish the file to Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. for the rest of us. Such a job would require more time than most are willing to offer. But I will state my theory because I am egar myself. Best to you.

However, if there is a new bootloader in the new update, which there almost certainly is, a flash back to 4.4.2 would most certainly fail with other possible major issues incurred...including but not limited to a brick. No one should attempt this. We will get the new firmware and 5.0 rom soon enough.
This is how I get back from custom ROMs. Odin on the PC and download mode. Went from 5.0.1 GPE to TW 4.4.2 myself. No brick. Are you sure? Don't try the mobile odin.
But I stand corrected: Google OTA Capture. Post the URL if successful. Must be done BEFORE you hit download!
