[Q]Knox 0x1, possible to upgrade to 4.4.2 Official Stock ROM?

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.

is root and custom recovery such as philz touch available for 4.4.2?

Root and recovery are available yes but not PhilZ only CWM by chenglu works currently

I see in your signature, that you are already on KitKat, Is it worth the upgrade?
Did you notice any increase in perfomance?
Any cool features?
Do you have more RAM free?
Do apps work properly?
Any new samsung apps (blotware) worth mentioning?

Yup a lot smoother for sure
Nothing really new that stands out to be cool
Yes ram is up to 2.7GB now
I haven't encountered any issues with apps, including some Wanam tweaks
Standard Samsung stuff which I have removed with TB

One last question I forgot to ask:
Do I have to wipe/reset to factory defaults?
I don't want to lose my settings and programs.
If I have to reset to factory defaults, is there any program that back ups settings?

Sorry for my stupidness, I did not notice the last three letters in the file before the extension. The one I have downloaded is "N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO" which was downloaded from samfirmware but as you can see, the one you posted including the one I posted and there others I have seen contain "OXX" (N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO) and I got confused.
The one I have is good to go right?

Sorry, really really last question:
How did you root?
Did you root by flashing n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.6-kitkat(0113).tar with odin?
Because I flashed it, it booted fine to CWM, it asked me for root, I pressed yes, I installed & tried SuperSU by chainfire and SuperSU by clockworkmod and both were unable to find root.

[Q] newbie question ! customer recovery for 4.4.2?

Hey guys,
I know this is kind of answered in alot of different places but nothing is guiding me to the correct files, just want to be safe and figured this was the best place to make sure i hit the bullseye.
Just updated to poland 4.4.2 kitkat and was looking to install a customer recovery so i could grab the latest version of xnote and a few other goodies. Could someone please guide me to a download section/link for cwm? or maybe twrp? which ever would work easiest

Yes reset it with Odin, you have n900 ? try Russian firmware, after successfully reset make a factory reset from recovery, than root and flash custom recovery

would twrp 2.6.3.7 work on 4.4?

No you do NOT have to unlock your bootloader (because it is not a custom ROM) but you can only flash it if you already have an open recovery (TWRP, Philz Touch Recovery etc.)
btw you can install any input language on android

Yes I'm already rooted on 4.4.2 and I've TWRP recovery.
Should I flash it directly using recovery? I don't have a SD card. Can I put it on Internal memory or external USB flash memory and install it?
I'm sorry I'm kinda a beginner. I know a lot about iOS but I'm new to Android.

Would this work for any Z2 in all regions? I brought my Z2 from expansys and apparently mine is based in Germany by Vodafone.
I have a TWRP backup if something goes wrong but I like to know if there will be any other complications that my 4.4.4 stock backup can't fix. Thanks in advance.

You just have to ensure that your phone is D6503, not D6502.
And as far as I know, recovery isn't working on Lollipop yet. So once you flash this, you won't be able to easily restore your KitKat backup, unless you downgrade to KitKat ROM and go through the process of rooting and installing recovery.

would you be so kind to detail what you did in order to achieve dual recovery? did you use prf creator?

I think it only shows that the NDR Utils app works, but you can't enter or reboot into the actual Recovery yet.

Fyi if you want to get back to 4.4 and you have an unlocked bootloader all you need to do is flash the 4.4 boot.img (with recovery), boot into recovery and restore your backup.
Obviously the phone will bootloop if you try and boot it.

Has anyone else tried using Link2SD with this firmware (I'm talking about the application not the built-in feature in the OS) and encountered the following error: "Mount script error Mount script cannot be created. mount: Operation not permitted". I've recreated the second partition of the SD card and have made sure that Link2SD has the appropriate rights in the SuperSU. The issue still persists. Had no similar problems with Link2SD in KitKat.

TBH if you don't have time to look it up, you probably haven't got time to fix it when **** happens, so take a chill pill and wait until you have got time or it all gets sorted.

A300FU 5.0.2 ROM as flashable zip?

Hi there,
Is there a way to flash any kind of working 5.0.2 ROM on my A300FU without ODIN? Somehow I managed to erase the OS without backing it up first.. (I know.. i know...)
I don't want to reflash the whole thing again... Root, install TWRP and so on...
Thanks a lot!

Never mind that... An admin can delete this thread.
Reflashed latest Lollipop from Sammobile, re-rooted, and also updated TWRP to latest version.
Let the CM12.1 come!

No, go to Samsung updates.com or Sam Mobile and download a firmware for your phone. Firmware is an orginal "rom" for your device From Samsung, and flash it using odin. Your problem could be with the efs files, I had that issue Too with my note 3, you should always back up Your efs files.
Goodluck!

The rom on the phone is probably not compatible with the phone's current modem and or bootloader.
I recommend flashing the latest stock rom via Odin, make sur everything works, then install twrp and a custom rom.
