I had my phone rooted before the update, but then I thought I'd try going without root once the update came out. But now I am rooted once again and running the "T999L 4.3 deodexed, Knox Free". But when I try to install cm (I tried 11 and 10.2), I either get the executing updater binary error, status 7 error, and when I removed the asserts, it just aborted installation. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Update your Recovery to the latest version.

I did that, tried both CWM and TWRP and it's still aborting the flash. It seems like the only rom it's letting me install is the deodexed 4.3
Actually I had a issue a few days where I accidentally wiped my internal memory and that is why I installed te deodexed 4.3, could that be a reason why nothing is working properly (I'm able to make backups but not restore them and what I mentioned before in my fist post)? Should I install the original 4.3 (with knox and everything) to get my phone on the correct thing and then use the knox remover from the forum before trying again?

Why dont you try this:
S3Rx 3.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
Its basically the same thing, except its debloated with a few mods..
Just be sure you have the MK4 Modem..
if you have not updated the bootloader (DONT) It will trip your warranty counter..
Just be sure you flashed the MK4 Modem, then flash the 4.3 rom..
Also be sure to Flash the T999L Connectivity patch on top
with the Insecure Kernel.. If you dont flash the Kernel you will lose wifi connectivity..

Oops, I somehow missed realizing that that was the rom and was downloading an older version of it that was lower down on the post. I got this rom to work, but I am still unable to install other custom roms. I really liked the CM11 (4.4) rom, but after updating to 4.3 (unrooted), I am unable to install anything but 4.3 roms so it seems. I did update to the latest version of twrp and I also tried cwm, but I'm still getting failure messages, any idea on how to fix that? Thanks for your help so far

To be honest there isnt much difference between 4.4 and 4.3.. other than ART..
I much rather stay on 4.3 because it has App Ops, where 4.4 had it removed..
I much rather have an AOSP rom rather than Touchwiz, but no other ROM i have found that is non Touch Wiz
that has Wifi Calling

True, but I guess my issue is that I can't install any of the CM roms, not even 10.2 which is based on 4.3. I just like CM because of the customization and the rom you linked me to has some of them, but not all. I've already tried unrooting and re-rooting, but that still did not help. Is there a different way you're supposed to root after the 4.3 update? I've always followed the instructions on DocHoliday's T999L/T999N thread and before 4.3, I was able to use twrp to flash t999 roms without removing asserts, but now even removing the asserts, I can't install any custom roms

Im pretty new to this area myself.. I've had a few trial and error issues..
Flashing Nexus devices is far to easy compared to this.. But since they have no Micro SDcard reader..
I'll never own a Nexus phone..
This is the first phone I've rooted, I didn't have problems until after 4.3. But would you happen to know where I can find instructions on how to unroot this device? I was going to try to find an 100% 4.3 stock rom, unroot, and then try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955) to see if it would work and if it didn't, then I'll just leave my phone unrooted. But I can't find any instructions anywhere, the only one's I can find are DocHoliday's but that's to return to stock 4.1.2
Never mind, I figured out

So I'm by no means super knowledgable with this stuff but I've rooted a few phones, played around with CM on my old evo but for the most part I enjoy rooted stock.
I have Galaxy S3 Sprint 4.3 updated OTA from a rooted (4.1.2). When I took the OTA I lost root, no big deal I used Odin and flashed the CF auto root, it said it removed knox and I had root back. Cool!
In short 4.3 sucked, wanted to downgrade back so things like TrevE mod would work again and it wouldn't be so buggy. I tried to use odin to flash "KIES_HOME_L710VPBMD4_L710SPRBMD4_1130792_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5" but it gave me the "Use Kies Recovery and error occured" message.
So I then used odin and flashed TWRP and my phone booted.
I'm back on 4.3 rooted.
I've tried picking through the forums and interwebz for answers but I get mixed messages and info on international versions and what not.
I'm tired of trying to figure it out and really could use some help downgrading back to 4.1.2

The 4.3 OTA installed a locked bootloader, which will prevent you from ODIN'ing back to a previous version. you can flash any ROM you would like from recovery, you CANNOT downgrade the bootloader. As of right now, if you have knox, you are stuck with it.
You are extremely lucky that you didn't brick your phone by using odin to flash a non-4.3 tar. I wouldnt try again.
My advice is, remain rooted with a custom recovery, and find a ROM to your liking, and flash that.
I have also heard that we cannot flash custom kernels on the knox (MK3) bootloader as well, but I havent verified that.

Thank you for the response. Is CyanogenMod an option then? If I go to CM could I flash back a stock 4.3 rom in the future?
As an added bonus question does CM allow wifi tethering?

CM is certainly an option. In fact, its what i am running now. CM11 12-24. Runs great. You can always odin the stock mk3 tar and go back to stock unrooted, at any time.
in order to flash cm11 you MUST be on TWRP 2.6.3.1 or CWM 6.0.4.5 or newer or the assert check will fail.
not sure on the tethering, but im pretty sure it definitely works on cm10.2 and i think it does on 11 as well, but dont quote me on that.

Tethering is available on CM11 just like it was on 10.2; would strongly recommend latest Philz Touch Recovery over either TWRP or CWM though. Although it is based on CWM, it has proven to be pretty much the superior recovery option for flashing any Android build number, plus it is highly customizable.
Philz Touch Recovery
this is how to downgrade

Do you realize that this thread hasn't been used in a couple of months? I would assume the author has no more need of advice based on the inactivity. Also, once Knox is installed, it is on the phone to stay. PERIOD. NO DOWNGRADING POSSIBLE VIA ODIN. Custom ROMs of any build are fine via custom recovery, but any attempt to change the bootloader will trigger Knox and brick the phone. Dangerous info to be posting here, especially since someone else who doesn't know better might try this.
ok so as you all know ive been having this problem with my note 2 eversince i flashed a mk4 rom and updated prl firmware version i guess it updated my baseband and all sorts of things i flashed the odin wifi fix and it made mk4 wifi work and everything was glee.. well i wanted aosp 4.4.2 back because it was simply gorgious i guess i had a thing for it. well i went to flash it after wiping factory data reset and after it flashed i let it run for over 30 minuts and it never made it past the cyanogenmod boot screen so i assumed it was a bootloop or bad download. my answer to this is i believe its the baseband or prl version not letting me run this. because before i ran mk4 and did all the updates i could always revert back to 4.4.2 without a problem now all the sudden i cant even load any aosp 4.4 rom. i can load all of 4.2.2 4.1.2 all those aosp roms but not the newest rom which is frusterating. if anyone has a fix or a recamended solution please help me because i have done just about every factory reset availible such as billiards back to stock and some other one. both not helping.
below here is the data i have recorded from my phone
PRL 2011
Baseband L900VPAMC2
PRL and baseband should both be irrelevant. Your problem is most likely a corrupt download. Have you checked hash sums?

How many times you've downloaded is completely irrelevant. You've either verified the md5 hash and thereby confirmed your downloads are good or you have not. I presume you have yet to do so.
Before any other steps can be advised you have to do that 1st basic step.
The download is good

One question...your baseband says MC2, did you unroot at any point following the MK4-upgrade (and wifi "fix") back to MC2? I have a theory, if you have not unrooted to MC2 firmware, and that is just because you didn't update radios...you might not like it...
The MK4 radio works fine IME with 4.4 ROMs FWIW.
i chose the oldest return to stock from billiards. i wanted to see if that fixes anything and it doesnt do squat. i just wonna figure out a resolution to this mess. my current baseband and prl and firmware version are

Crap...you just shot down my working theory.
In flashing 4.4 builds, you're using complete wipes? What GApps package are you using? ParanoidAndroid 4.4 Apps?
im doing a complete wipe and flashing the rom first to see if it even boots. and no go.
This doesnt make sense at all and makes me revert back to the baseband theory. i think somthing with the version of my phone has somthing to do with it.
the wifi patch wasnt the problem the recovery isnt the problem the only think i can think of is my phone is corrupt and wont flash 4.4.2 roms which aggrivates me. i want to get to the bottum of this
literally any aosp 4.4.2 rom bootloops.
the only one that booted up fine was omni rom and it didnt even have mobile data or signal seemed like it was for att or a gsm company because it had no support for my phone.
if i could just get ahold of a 4.4.2 kernal such as carbons trinity kernal or pretty much any 4.4.2 flashable kernal i think i could fix it as it seems that might also be the case
Did you try wiping your internal memory? I had a similar problem once, that was the solution.

The 2.05b kernel of Plasma works fine with Omni. I've been using Omni builds for the last full month on my L900. Baseband is MK4 and PRL here is 2006.
No radios working sounds like you were using TWRP and not CWM or PhilZ recovery to a T. Maybe the latest TWRP has fixed its compatibility problems with 4.4+, but last I tried using TWRP to flash any 4,4 build-all it got me was no wifi/cell service. Be sure to use the recommended Paranoid Android GApps package for 4.4 with Omni.
Could you provide me with a link to the kernel that will work with cyanogen mod omni doesn't have data or mobile service
I have the philz
I don't flash any Google apps until i see that the rom is working which I've had no success. The weird thing with omni is that it doesn't even support sprint it only supports gsm

Something has to be bizarre with your handset. Seriously, there's no other way to describe it. OmniROM for L900 is NOT GSM only, something in your flashing got altered in the middle of all your flashing. See my screencaps below if you don't believe me.
My only theory is that that "wifi fix" scrambled something in your radio for AOSP 4.4 ROMs....and that whatever it is isn't purged by a normal flash of a new/old baseband. It can't be the PRL as that is irrelevant and if you had a bad PRL it wouldn't work even under stock ROMs, and the baseband shouldn't matter but as you can see below I'm on baseband MK4 and I work fine.
let me revert back to stock one more time and do the 4.3 update and get the latest baseband version and ill report back to you after rooting and trying the omnirom or cm ok? i dont have a clue what the hell is going on as of now but its boggling my mind
OK so I'm on the latest baseband I flashed cm and no go kept sticking at the cm logo animation nothing else
I flash the kernel and it does the exact same. Fwi I'm using clockwork mod recovery
ok so i managed to get omni running without a problem the only issue is Root privilages. it doesnt have root. ive installes super su but it doesnt go into recovery and flash the binaries which doesnt make sense. ill try one more rom before i flash back to mk4 smoothest for a while. wish i could get this sorted out

It looks like you already have the MK2 modem installed. You don't want MDL for TW4.3 or AOSP 4.4.x builds.
Your Build ID: Build JDQ39.M919UVUAMDB will change depending on which ROM you flash and has nothing to do with the modem.

From what you posted, you are already on 4.2.2.
Also, when you say WiFi isn't working... do you mean it won't connect? Does it connect but you don't get any data? Are you getting the "connection unstable" warning? Could try using a different kernel.

In that case, I would say to go ahead and download whichever 4.4.2 ROM you want to run from either the Android Development or Original Development section. No TouchWiz ROMs are 4.4.2 so that means no WiFi calling if that's important. Grab a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc) if you don't already have one. Make a backup of your current setup via recovery, then follow the installation instructions for whichever ROM you choose to go with.
You already have the correct modem for using 4.3+ and I see no reason why your WiFi issue should persist through a different ROM. I'd say you're ready. If you do still have WiFi issues once you update, try using a different kernel.

I am running OmniRom 4.4.4 on my Canadian variant T889v. This rom didn't come with a modem and after install maintained the stock modem.
Wanted to install the DN3 rom, but wanted to make sure the rom came without a modem. However, read that a modem needs to be flashed after the rom. Where can I find the stock modem (Baseband T889VVLUDNE7). Or is there a way to install the rom without the need to install the modem like the OmniRom?

I am relatively new to this process and frankly lucked out on the OmniRom. I did make a backup of stock rom from trwp before installing OmniRom. If I mess up the install on DN3 would I still be able to use restore to go back to stock?
update
Tried to install the rom using twrp. However, error right of the bat, saying it can't read the zip file. The zip file is not corrupted as far as I can tell.
I downloaded the file from the electron-team website for ROM_NOTE2LTE. (Sorry not allowed to post a link yet!)
I have DN3 installed right now and I love it. I come from a CM11 rom and before that the stock 4.3 TW with root. I didn't have to install anything extra and I've had almost no problems other than an occasional force close...

i also have t889v wind version and tried to flash the DN3 rom and had the same result as you, i got an error right of the bat saying the rom was not for my phone(or something like that). about the modem i believe DN3 does not come with a modem( it says so in the FAQ) so you should not have to worry about flashing modems with this rom. If there is anyone with a t889v that manage to get this rom on their phone it would be great if they could post what they did to get it to work.

I restored my phone to stock rom from the backup. Then I was able to install DN3. However, since I was just testing I did a dirty flash (no factory rest or data and cache wipe). I noticed the battery life was really bad and decided to do a clean install. After doing a factory reset in TWRP I tried installing it again and had the same issue as what I posted above.
Then I restored stock rom and tried clean install again and kept having the same issue as before. Was not able to install DN3 again!
I read somewhere on the forum that installing Agni kernel would likely solve the battery issue, but I can't test this until I can install the rom. I don't have a backup phone currently to mess around with testing to get the DN3 on. So if anyone has a fail proof method/steps of getting DN3 on please let me know.
Btw did anyone try the new T889V modem/rom (t889vvludnh2)?

So you were able to install DN3 straight from a CM11 rom?
Did you use TWRP, CWM or PhillzRecovery?
I tried it with TWRP, maybe that's is why I am having issues installing it.

I used CWM. I had problems installing the ROM initially. I had to try a few times to get it to flash. Ive been using this ROM for a little while now with very few issues.
Dual booting
Hello,
Has anyone tried dual booting with this rom? I'm currently running Liquid Smooth on my T-Mobile Note 2 and I would like to run both roms. Please advise.
Just a quick question. Which aGNi kernel are you guys using with the T889v?
Is either of the following kernels safe to use with T889v, on either CM11 or Omni rom?
- PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.3.3_R3_N7105_4.4.x_AROMA
- PSN_pureCM_11-12_ANYROM-AROMA-v2.9.1_R2_N7105_OC

Hi i also had problems with latestzip. So i unstalled the one zip before the latest zip and it worked on my T889. Try that zip , it clmes with a final update.zip that you flash after the dn3 v5. Also there might be a specific build.prop for your phone thst would recomend. Sorry dont have specific names as im on my way to work.
Also both kernels you are didplaying are not for TouchWiz rom look for Agni kernal in the N7105 dev thrad. Ill add link as an edit before I loose all this. Also I wouldre comend installing will all default options first and no sound modification. Then dirty flash to customize and wait 10 minutes after first boot. Reboot and then set up you phone.

AGNI KERNEL LINK FOR TW sorry can past the link from dolfin browser it does a copy but not a past.
Correction use the first kernel the second one is nof non TW roms like slimkat, CW etc.
It's been another few months and still the same problems with all ROMS i try, when the screen is off i lose connection to the mobile network, When i turn the screen back on it will connect and start buzzing and alerting me to every unread message and e-mail Which gets annoying very quickly let alone missing messages and calls.
This happens on CM 12, Pac man rom, GPE and others. Both with 4.4.4 and 5.0. CM 11 works fine for me without this issue.
I see people say they are using these roms without this issue so something is definitely wrong but I can figure out what.
I'm using an Unlocked T mobile s4 on the Wind network In canada
Model SGH-M919
Baseband M919UVUAMDL
You may need to update the baseband a bootloader in order for the phone to work properly with the latest ROMs.

Thanks for the reply, before i screw anything up there doesn't appear to be any explicit guides. I'm assuming i use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678774 with the OK3 Rom. beyond this is there anything i should know, like will i have to unlock and root my phone again, or anything like that?
The stock ROMs for the sgh-m919 are here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919/
The simplest way to update to the latest bootloader and modem would be to flash the phone back to stock using the above-linked software.
Once you are on the latest stock ROM, flash the latest TWRP to the phone. Once TWRP has been installed, you can flash a custom ROM. Rooting first is not necessary if you intend to run a custom ROM.

Sorry for the late update but I got it working thank you.
The FOK3 and FOH3 didn't work for me, once installed it still showed the MDL version. Once i did the FNK2 it worked.
Is there a reason to upgrade to the FOH3 or FOK3 from the FNK2 versions provided i can get them to work?
I always recommend running the latest bootloader and rom but, if the bootloader and modem work without issue, you can hold off.
