Finally update to Official Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM. This is Poland edition.
Firmware: N9005XXUENA6
Country: Poland
Version: Android 4.4.2 - KitKat
Product Code: XEO
PDA: N9005XXUENA6
CSC: N9005OXXENA5
MODEM: N9005XXUENA2
Cauntion:
Phone Bootloader Update must tick at PC Odin3 v3.09, without updating the bootloader, the phone won't success boot to recovery for completing the flashing.
Not suitable to try out if you plan on virgin after root without tripping the KNOX as since MJ7 bootloader will trip the KNOX once root.
Seems no root for the moment as well, the root for leak S4 ROM not working as XDA member post, I haven't try that yet. (Edit: Root already available)
Overall Impression:
Smooth! It is far better than Android 4.3, I am dirty flash.
It seems system occupied lesser RAM now, the availability now is 2.71GB
I love the new lockscreen.
New lockscreen music playback is cool also, just the cover art a bit blur due to big expand.
Finally Samsung remove the ugly Green color battery icon.

Hi,
Thanks for your report, could you clarify this point about Knox, i don't understand what you said. I'm still knox 0x0 and don't want to triggered it by flashing new firmware. AFAIK, flashing an official firmware doesn't trigger knox?!

As long you not plan to root, the Knox will still be 0x0, it only happen if you root it as since bootloader start from MJ7 ROM will trigger the knox once root.

android kitkat, rooted, and custom recovery are the main requirement, so i think yes it will be compatible with s5 mod..
just remember its not final build of s5 mod, not perfect yet and still bugs in it.
i hope someone can report if already flash this rom, with or without the s5 mod..
attaching some screenshot would be great sharing..

Yes, it will :good:

Just installed it. Seems stable for now, nice speedy ROM. As stock as possible. Will check battery life and report back.
One thing i didn't manage to do is root. Applied the root fix in recovery after first ROM bootup, but SuperSU is saying no SU binaries installed. Still looking into this.
Thanks for the great work
~~~~~
Edit : just resolved root. Removed SuperSU application, rebooted to recovery and applied the following fix http://download.chainfire.eu/396/Supersu.
Not sure exactly if the fix root zip you supplied helped or not, but it did not work without this last updated zip.

From my experiences with NC2 the mods may not be compatible but id like to be proven wrong :fingers-crossed:
Great share :good:

Great to see this FND3 ROM so quickly, but pCloud is very slow for me. Can you host your ROM elsewhere please?

hello I tried to install the rom but the network does not work
you know how I can fix?
thanks in advance

omg, stock is so beautiful !
i needed the root fix to get TiB working. Chainfires update wasnt enough by itself.

Thank you for this, I have so many problems trying to download files from sammobile. A few tweaks, deleted apps and xposed mods and this is amazingly fast, smooth and battery friendly. RAM usage is tiny too. Does anyone know if the new S5 music app and documents app work with this?

I got root , but like the first poster when i installed SuperSU, says binary needs to be updated, I dont have any recovery installed, the phone then rebooted by itself , I uninstalled SuperSU , but i still have root access according to the app , but , when i download a program such as Titanium Backup , it gave me errors.
Phone works well , now im sad, and I wish I didnt root it

what about i9500 running 4.4.2 ?

Samsung S4 i9505, firmware i9505XXUGNE5.
Successfully rooted. Downloaded SuperUser APK 3.3 and installed. All apps that needed SU/root works.
Knox still 0x0
Note: Reading the original thread, i9505 may need to have the E5 firmware to work.

Playstore version doesn't update binaries, go to chainfire website
Knox shows 0x0 but I can't get rid of the unlocked icon when phone boots.

Hi,
I would like to be 100% sure of what you are saying. I have a i9505 with XXUFNC4 firmware, the towelroot exploit doesn't work.
But if I upgrade to XXUGNE5 german firmware with Kies (or Odin), apply the towelroot exploit, and then downgrade to my actual XXUFNC4 fwm, you can confirm that normally my phone will stay rooted and still working perfectly ?
Thank you.

You'll lose root when you downgrade.

i9505 Downgrade to 4.3 and ROOT knox 0X0

I successfull downgraded i9505 from 4.4.2 FNC4 to 4.3 MKF and rooted it.
Knox still 0X0
1) Flash i9505_Downgrade_43_by_Leeno_.tar
2) Flash i9505_downgrade43_step2.tar
3) wipe data (if you don't wipe data s4 will hang at startup logo)
optional - root with .bat saferoot
After those steps, i9505 will have full working mkf version missing mkf bootloader.
Bootloader will not downgrade
if you want update to 4.4.2 or newer 4.3 than mkf and keep root and knox 0X0:
1) install mobile odin and open it
2) select option:
- "ever root" and
- "reboot in download mode"
3) select firmware and write. At the end it go in download mode, don't power on it
4) Flash only boot with odin from pc

Why would anyone want to downgrade if you can simply root without all the hassle using geohot's towelroot (http://towelroot.com) up till NF1, and still keep KNOX 0x0?

1) 4.3 is not battery drainer
2) safe root work from readable .bat adb. Towelroot i not know what modify in the system so we not know if any bug is caused by it.
3) if towelroot will not work with next firmware, maybe downgrade will still work

Well, my battery life was better with 4.4.2; so I guess no use for me. Towelroot uses a kernel exploit so basically no other modification is done to the "system", which may pose problems, as you later stated, in case further updates are pushed by Samsung.

I have 2 phones, bought each with NB8. Neither one had battery drain, I tripped Knox and rooted my first one with Chainfire's method, using custom recovery and running SlimKat 4.4.4 and KT kernel.
My other phone has been updated with Odin to NF1, left stock but running TowelRoot and still Knox 0x0. No suspicious battery drain. With normal usage I get better battery life on my first phone though.

I suggest you do a full wipe from the recovery before flashing NF1, it might be a dirty flash - even with Odin - that causes the battery drain.

let me see if I understand...
I have 4.4.2 with 4.4.2 bootloader and KNOX 0X1...
if I use this I'll have 0x0 KNOX and 4.3 ROM and 4.3 bootloader only flashing this file?

if i have understand correctly no it will not reset knox, but you could downgrade from KK to JB and then root without trip knox..
what i am woundering is if it will be possible to downgrade to 4.2.2 no knox ( even if tripped it shouldn' t show??!?? )

Why would anyone want to downgrade if you can simply root without all the hassle using geohot's towelroot (http://towelroot.com) up till NF1, and still keep KNOX 0x0?

probably those who want to reset Knox counter!!

Maybe real stupid but this method can't really reset Knox to 0x0 , can it?

No, it says you can go from 4.4.2 to 4.3 without triggering the knox

Waiting to give this a try. 4.4 is not out yet in my country and want to return it to 4.3 as I am having issues with my network.

Nope. Only the t235 has been released and you absolutely cannot flash another model's firmware. Be patient they only just started rolling out 7.0 updates

How different is the LTE cpu different from the wifi models? I'm worried the t230 devices are not good enough for lollipop.

Root?
Anyone tried it yet? Is it rootable?

There's probably no difference in the processer, it's should be the Samsung 1.2gHz in the LTE.

Lol no, not even close. The T235 has an Exynos chipset, the T230 has a Marvell chipset. They're completely different

I tried but no luck, after flashing I got bootloop. It seems that android 5.1.1 is still not rootable.

From what I saw from the 8.0 models, because you've got lollipop 5.1.1 and not 5.0.x, you cannot just root by flashing TWRP and then in TWRP flashing the superSU zip like usual. There is something new in the security measures of the 5.1.1 kernel that causes a boot loop if you try this. I say this because the 10.1 models, which got 5.0.2, could root like I just described but the 8.0 models, which got 5.1.1, could not.
Therefore, it seems that someone will have to make a modified rootable kernel, in a similar manner to what moonbutt74 did for the 8.0 models. Check out his thread here to see what I mean

Can one add su binary in the xbin..I recall trying to do that before (then chmod) but mounting linux to get it to run was difficult and I ended up making mistakes and accidentally erased my disk (never tried again-lol) (that was for Huawei x2)
so basically inject root into the system.img itself and then flash through odin

Is it safe to just install TWRP (not flash anything in it) and press reboot?

I don't think twrp recovery is same..am no expert maybe should not be commenting but better be safe

I used the recovery (2.8.0.1 or is it 2.8.1.0?...anyway you will see it in one of the threads ..it is for 235 and 235y both) to deodex the rom (no root but deodexed!)..outlined procedure for deodexing on another post somewhere in maybe another thread and also t715 forum maybe (have both devices currently)
the recovery does not stick after boot and have to reodin the twrp each time need to go to recovery...but also made twrp backup which restores correctly
Edit... Also flashed csc folder XML files with Samsung command lines that enable features like auto data on off for missing and receive.. Normally needed root for that or at least that is how I altered files in csc folder within system folder
Also modified build prop for Wi-Fi scan... Just not figured out fonts as font settings force closes when trying to change font after flashing new fonts.. Default font is in framework so cannot change that now... Will also try to remove unwanted apps in system data folder by putting appropriate lines in flashable zip (not sure about this though).. So mostly getting there without root
EDIT2
With everything except data and preload from this 'modded' LL rom (by flashing zips to achieve certain changes like other.xml in csc folder inside system etc) and then advanced restore data and preload from a KK nandroid, I managed to get the font I want and retain the LL mods I did through flashing the zips.
Noticed LL ROM has native call recording not there in KK...so no need for xposed for that
(EDIT..CALL RECORDING only comes on and is seen in native call dialer menu upon de-odexing..for whatever reason..regardless of country or region build-have tried 2 of them)
just missing screenshot and advanced reboot (which need root but then there is no custom recovery as it needs to be reinstalled each time so advanced reboot is useless as of now anyway for LL-stock recovery flashes on each reboot)

Don't try it. Odin probably wouldn't let you anyway, but if it did, you would brick your tablet. Probably a hard brick

picked up a refurbished t230NY from amazon they say comes with 4.4 another customer commented and said they recently updated to 5.1.1. What root method will work on the 5.1.1? id rather have lollipop without flashing a rom
