I installed in mine the I337MVLUFNE1, but it hhas all the bloatware from Bell. (And I didn't see the knox, but when I rooted my device the SU told me that I have it, but it disable knox)
Really think that the difference between FNE1 and FNC1 is the free-bloatware and the kies one (wth it), because in samfirmware says it doesnt have kies.
I'm searching for a reason too, but I don't know if that's the real difference, im just guessing.
My S4 company is TELCEL (MX) i337m, and running a rooted Canada Bell (black edition) (FNE1). haven't tried the FNC1
PS Sorry for my english

hi there,
I believe the last few letters refer to the baseband. and yes it most certainly will have the insidious knox

hello,
what I did with my S4 is to flash the NC1 modem while still on 4.2.2, then I installed a custom ROM based on kitkat. this way you can have the latest android OS while keeping away from all the #@!# that comes with official releases.
this is where I found all the information I needed to get things done: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687289
good luck!

Stay with the BTU ones, the ones from Carrier get updated very very slowly. Even my Carrier didn't receive 3 á 4 updates for i9505.
Ok, but my point being that the carrier ones have received 2/3 updates in the time since my last one, my last one being April...

the latest firmware for T-mobile (EE) is ME2 http://www.hotfile.com/dl/223630332/b11f79b/I9505XXUAME2_I9505EVRAMDB_EVR.zip.html but for the unbranded BTU is MDM (older)
you can flash any new unbranded firmware MEA or MF8
Would I be able to flash that t mobile firmware? Thanks.

Incorrect.
That guide is for every build except MF3. Step 2 (after reading step first, of course) contains the link to rooting your I337M.
This will work, as I've rooted MG1 with these steps in the past:

[Q] Rooting Note3

Hi guys
I'm very new to this and love the Note3. Can anyone help me and direct me to the post on how to root my Note3 please.
I got
AP:N9005XXUDMJ6
CP:N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC:N9005VFGDMJ1
it is running on 4.3 (UK, Vodafone network) If possible would like to upgrade to kitkat as well. Thank you very very much in advance for any help i can get. As I said I'm a newbie and only now start to learn.
Correct me someone if I'm wrong...
Download mobile terminal and try to exec the command
[email protected]:/ $ getprop ro.bootloader
N9005XXUBMJ1
[email protected]:/ $
If you are on MJ1 or previous bootloader you can go and use Root de la Vega method using any ROM admitted.

Since you are not rooted, it means Kn0x is probably intact.
Upgrading
1. Go into Settings > About Device > System Updates. Check for updates. Then update if it's available
OR
2. Download kies from here - http://www.filehippo.com/download_kies/ then install, connect your phone to ur computer and check for updates
OR
3. Grab any N9005 firmware from here - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005 then flash in ODIN. I have a guide here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/v8j0x3l9vrla9du/Flashing Official Sammy ROMs.txt)
Ask questions if you don't understand anything
Rooting
Use Snapdragon option from my post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49604059&postcount=3
CHEERS!

Thanks for your kind reply. Just a quick as I'm not sure...
Can i download any firmware from the link you give( http://www.filehippo.com/download_kies/), although i got Vodafone UK handset? will there be a problem with language once install? Is the snapdragon customise ROM? I'm not worry about triping Kn0x. because my phone model is AP:N9005XXUDMJ6 will it be ok if I download the firmware from different country?
Sorry to be a pain. just want to make sure.
Thanks in advance

If it's MJ6 then you will trip Knox...
You also have the bootloader that makes it impossible to go back to firmwares lower than MJ3(?). If you upgrade to KK then root with the latest cf-autoroot then you will be good to go. You can then flash latest twrp/cwm to put on custom roms.... Just make sure the cwm/twrp says it's compatible with KK... Same with cf-Autoroot....
This will trip Knox though...

Yup, however reading around and learning things instead of expecting to have stuff spoonfed makes a huge difference, especially given this is a pretty much a phone development site lol. 2 out of 5 threads cover root in some variation.
Just follow the directions and it's pretty simple. It doesn't take more than 5 minutes for a whole process.

[Q] Custom recovery and ROM on more recent devices?

Hey there,
When I first got this phone, there were problems with the phone being locked in such a way that it couldn't be flashed with a new recovery/ROM.
I have looked through the various subs, but it's not obvious to me, so I wanted to ask. Is it possible to flash S4's now with custom recoveries and ROMs?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Its possible.
Its easy.
There are lots of options to choose from.
any chance you could point me in the right direction? Last time I tried (admittedly, some time ago), there were zero options because everything was locked down by samsung.
