The SN-N900W8 Version of the Note 3 is finally seeing its Official Kit Kt Update.
The first carriers seeing the update are in Canada. Hope The rest of America will see it soon enough.
Please check Software updates in your phone or go to the usual sites to download and install via ODIN.
Please also report if you install this version in phones from other regions/providers, like South America.
Regards
You can download it from:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900W8
Just be sure to use your correct model and Odin version according to the instructions in each site.
Everything is under your own risk as usual.
I updated via ODIN without doing Resets or CleanUps, and it upgraded to 4.4.2 pretty nice, while keeping all my apps and without losing data.
do you lose root when you update from 4.3 to 4.4?

Yes you do.
But there are already tools to get it again from the 4.4.2 baseline.

Can you point me in the right direction.
I did an updated to 4.4.2 (KK) with Kies successfully, but I can't get root back.
Tried CF-Autoroot as before, but my recovery always says "recovery is not seandroid enforce" and just reboots to normal phone without supersu.
Any help by anybody would be appreciated.

I wonder if the bootloader kept the same advantages there were pretty unique to the W8 model with the initial leak?

Well. It seems like there are no new catchs or caveats, and everything is still the same as cool as before.

Friend: I think you better go and read the info in the Android Development Threads. The information there is very complete and fine.
Please be aware that the current root methods over 4.4.2 are for other models not the W8.
I think somebody needs to jump in here and test ways to do root. To be Honest, I don't do root with my Note 3, as I still have to find a reason to do it. For me everything is working nice without Root.
I was thinking about flashing official 4.4.2 for Telus/Koodo, but I haven't really seen anything that says it's rootable at the moment, so I'm hesitant to upgrade to stock 4.4.2. I'm really just looking for the latest Telus/Koodo modem from 4.4.2 (currently running MJ4 baseband), I'm pretty happy with CM11. Can I just extract the modem.bin from the 4.4.2 file from Sammobile and flash it with Odin?
I rooted my Bells Note 3, and it tripped knoxes.. Can I upgrade with Kies? or will it brick it?
I started the process with Kies and said rooted devices may fail if phone is rooted..
Anyone know for sure?
Thanks

Probably can't un-trip the knox but so what... I don't expect to get warranty so I'll do the best way, Odin and correct firmware. Then you'll have to re-root again. But you're knox tripped, meh..

It worked for me, Odin 3, Sammobile download like yours. Let it update and boot all the way settled. Re-rooted and TWRP. So far it's working fine.

If you have the time can you do a step by step guide on how you did the kit kat update, together with root and twrp, and if possible tell us where you got the right files from? Its kind of confusing what we can install and not install on our phones since there are so many different models for the note 3 and no one wants to trip knox if they dont have to.

Here is a quick and dirty guide of how I flashed and rooted 4.4.2 on my Bell Note 3.
1 download carrier firmware from sammobile
2 unzip to single tar file (N900W8VLUCNB7_N900W8OYACNB7_N900W8VLUCNB7_HOME.tar)
3 put phone in download mode (make sure you see the red/white text at the top i.e. if knox is tripped etc.)
4 open odin 3.09 as admin
5 click AP and select the tar file and then click start
6 wait
7 once phone is booted
8 download CF Root -> CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
9 I used odin supplied in the CF zip (Odin 3.07)
10 Select AP then -> CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5
11 Click Start
12 Wait for phone to reboot
13 Enjoy Root
At this point I also installed TWRP 2.7.0.0

Thank you so much for this, I followed all the steps and everything worked perfectly , also knox stayed at 0
Question is in the title. I'm on a Mac so my options are limited. I figure I could use Jodin if I have to but I thought I'd ask. For what it's worth, someone in another thread flashed the stock firmware in Odin and said it reset KNOX.

Actually the followup replies mention that KNOX is still tripped after flashing. [emoji26]
I have an AT&T GS6 (SM-G920A). The new update isn't working for me.
I rooted it temporarily using PingPing root, since I wanted to use AdAway to modify the hosts file, and PingPong doesn't trigger the KNOX flash counter.
Anyway, I tried unrooting using SuperSU, but it just got stuck at "uninstalling", so I used root browser to manually delete SU and the SuperSU apk file. After that, I did a full wipe.
Anyway, it still isn't letting me update with the latest version. It says it is unrooted and KNOX is still at 0x0. However, in the Odin screen, one of the options DOES say custom. (the binary one is Samsung Official, but the other is Custom.)
So after looking around, I found out that flashing a stock MD5 will not trigger KNOX, so I figured I would try that. I found a stock GS6 MD5 and downloaded, but Odin said it failed the hash check. This was the same error I got when trying to update. (dafuq?)
ANyone know how to get my phone back enough to update? I might leave it that way until I decide if samsung pay is work giving up custom roms.
In the ping pong thread is mentioned that you have to Odin back to stock, let the OTA update run, and then re-root using ping pong again.

Yeah, I tried that, hence this line:
"So after looking around, I found out that flashing a stock MD5 will not trigger KNOX, so I figured I would try that. I found a stock GS6 MD5 and downloaded, but Odin said it failed the hash check."
Most places didn't seem to offer a stock ATT ROM anyway. I finally found one, but it seemed to say "REV_02" at the end. I gave it a try but it failed the hash check.
Thanks for the reply, though.:good:
OK, I was able to get the System back to official using the ROM I found.
Now it starts updating properly in that it gets to the loading bar.
However, it fails at about 25%. According to the log, I'm getting Status 7.

Try downloading the latest firmware from sammobile , flash it by Odin , then re-root with pingpong again , no need for OTA if the new firmware is there for donwload .
OK, I found out the problem. There are 4 files INSIDE the file I downloaded. I had to flash all 4 of them (Bootloader, AP, CSC, and something else). From there it worked just fine! I consider this solved! No knox trip, either!:good:
For future reference, I'll see if I can post a link to the ROM I used.
Found it in the OP here.
Or if the direct link stays up, try this direct link.
Remember to flash all 4 files using Odin (I would post a link but they keep changing). I used 3.10.
Sprint s6 edge it was boot looping only staying in Android for maybe 3-5 mins at a time. So i tried to flash it. I may have flashed 5.0.x to it. Now when I try to flash I can flash cm.bin, sboot and it always dies on boot.img. I really need some guidance on what i should try next.
Looking around shows boot.img not flashing is possibly the kernel but I am having trouble finding one that it will let me flash.

Were you originally on 5.1.1?
If so, are you having a hard time Odin-ing the stock rom?

Since you were on 5.1.1 I don't think you would have any trouble Odining the stock ROM onto the phone. I've done it a few times and it worked OK. After you push the stock ROM you can root it if you want to.

Well the problem is it won't flash past boot.img
As soon as boot.img is started it goes a green bar on Oden about 3/4 of the way and then goes FAILED! and oden disconnects the device.

If you went from 5.1.1 to 5.0.X it's most likely hard bricked.

Yea.... You have to stay within the same android version, ex. Any of the 5.1.1 updates. The firmware version that you're trying to restore with, is it OF7?

It should say it on the tar file. It's worth a try but you're probably dead. Here is the file if you need it but like I said, most likely you're done.

It worked for me. I have a friend who did the same thing and thought the phone was a gonner. I told her I'd give it a try and I was able to Odin (v.3.10.6) to OF7, took the OTA to OH1 and flashed Wicked One SS v.3.0 from @dazednconfused and she says it's running perfect.
Also, @Soooperstar Odin file here.

the latest one. I've seen various other flashing posts saying you should use a slightly older Oden.
Also side rant. I did a chat with samsung support and they said the Smart Switch recovery doesn't work with the S6? I cannot get it to verify the serial number of my phone (s6) and the broken one (s6 e)

I'm not sure which version you are referring to as the latest one, but the only version that will work with what you're trying to accomplish is 3.10.6

Like I said from my knowledge, you should be hard bricked, but if someone else went from 5.1.1 to 5.0.X and back, you might want to find out what they did. Don't think it's possible
I have been trying to root this model mentioned in the title for the past 4 days, nothing works. Anybody who has any ideas feel free to comment.
i am working on this model too, but nothing works at the moment, did u try rom change?
Yeah, I tried that, but anything I attempt to flash ends with a secure check fail in Odin.

So I have followed Hydromans rooting instructions closely, but no matter what, I am failing in Odin. Even tried to flash fresh firmware in case I missed a setting somewhere, but Im stumped. Dev Options on, both boxes ticked, downloaded boot.tar from Hydromans link, Odin 12.3. Samsung drivers are up to date as well. Ive even used debloater to block Knox packages first, but fail, fail, fail. How did you overcome this in order to set SELinux to permissive??

I believe that model has the Exynos cpu, you can download cpu-z from the market to check. If so, you can follow the directions in this link to add twrp recovery and root while doing so.
