Nothing fancy, just the Boost/VM variant of 4.4.2 Kit Kat tar, captured from Kies.
NOTE: For those Boost/VM users who flashed the Sprint ND8 version, this WILL flash successfully over the ND8 bootloader.
- This will (should) not wipe your data.
- As with everything, you are responsible for what you do to your device.
- I have Deodexed and Odexed rooted stock zips ready to test if someone wants to give them a go. Let me know.
Download Link
Instructions:
1. Download file to your PC(somewhere you can find it!)
2. Put your phone into Download/Odin mode
3. Start Odin(I suggest the latest, 3.09 is out now I think, I used 3.07)
4. Click on PDA, find tar file, click it to put it into PDA slot
5. Click Start
6. Takes a good 15 minutes, so sit back and chill. It will reboot on it's own, and you now have Kit Kat.
Oh, and because I know someone will ask, YES, this does have the Knox bootloader on it
Does anyone have the modem from this build. Hoping it will fix issues I'm having with ND8 modem.

It did the same thing for me on nd8 boot loader. Try a custom kernel perhaps. KT747 was recommended to me for that fix, but I flashed ndc before I got around to trying it

Im going to stick with the nd8 modem. I thought about trying this but everything is working fine. I use virgin mobile and i use xda. When i bought my s3 i couldn't find kit kat for virgin so i researched the sprint tar. I was only on the stock virgin 4.3 for a day, and rooted and what not. I odined sprint s3 stock nd8 tar through odin3.07 with reboot unticked- pulled battery - odined philz touch recovery(spr) reboot unticked - pulled battery. Then i booted into recovery flashed newest philz (lte) recovery. Then i flashed bilgerryans wicked x rom. Phone is now rooted, deodexed, and has custom kernal. Phone works great, especially since i changed data setting for throttling. Hope this helps someone. My exact steps i took to get my phone to awsomeness.

Just Odin'd my GS3 today with this and everything went well. My drop down notification bar says Virgin Mobile like it should. No problems except not receiving a 4G signal where I used to. It doesn't even say 3g. Is there something I should know about this? LOL. Any help appreciated.

Hi! Update PRL and Profile from the Settings / More / System Update menu.
If that doesn't do it, there's a code to dial in the stock dialer to reset data. I need to add it to my contacts some I keep forgetting. ##73678# or something like that. Be prepared, I think it reboots your phone in the process. Then update PRL and Profile again after.

If your waiting for a knox free version.... You will be waiting forever. Its not going to happen. There is no way to take knox out of the bootloader, trust me everyone has been trying... Knox just makes it were you cant downgrade through odin. You can flash any rom version you want in recovery.

And Knox was further incorporated into the device with 4.4 (and it will be in all Android devices to some extent with Android L). It makes a call to see if Knox is present at first boot, if it's not there it bricks the device. All the newer devices have it too. Unless you're planning on sending your phone to Samsung for a warranty claim there no reason to even think about it being there.

Last time I had KNOX, I flashed a new recovery ZIP and bricked the phone. I don't want to tip-toe around KNOX if its there, I dont want to have to worry about it all together. If I just flash the Modem, will I get KNOX or will it just update the PRL and such?

To get 4.4.2 without bricking... You need to odin 4.4.2 stock tar and odin 4.4 2 compatible recovery afterwards. Any other way will lead to brick. I never have to worry about knox because the only tar i have is the 4.4.2. I flash whatever rom i want in recovery with no problems. Like Bilgerryan said knox really only affects you, if your trying to return your phone to samsung with knox tripped. Im loving 4.4.2 im glad i made the plunge.

Hey Ninos ill stop by tonight and take a look at it cause i had some questions for you about my unlock code...it wont work...i put my girls old att sim in and it asked for my code but it said wrong code when i installed it. I double checked the IMEI and they match so idk.
Edit: You have all stock? ROM, Kernel and recovery? If you have stock recovery then try and uninstall the superuser and rom manager apps and reboot into stock recovery and wipe cache and reboot see if that works?
If your sending it back to Tmobile, KL1 isn't even the official stock firmware anymore. I would be flashing LE1 personally. At the very least KID. Both have Odin firmwares in the dev section. That's just my opinion though.

I had to jig cable it once when i was odining the stock recovery. It got disconnected in the middle of the flash. I had to turn my a/c off cause even the small breaze hitting the wire would make it disconnect

Not really the same thing. This is for people who just want to update their completely stock phones.
Well after trying several times I gave it another shot. On my rooted stock rom running ma7 I installed twrp over my stock recovery, then I tried the all in one zip. Worked the first time. Don't know why it failed all other times. Thanks to everyone. First time using twrp and I really like it. Wish I had tried it long time ago. So easy to use.

Sure. Make sure you download the right one. No data if you want to keep your data intact. Also I read that the one clicks don't give you the modem but since you already have it you should be on MC2 everything after flashing a OC.

Well if you're stock then go ahead and try the ota.zip posted here. If you have stock recovery it should take it. Also I don't see why doing a No Data OC will ruin your Google wallet. Doing a no data should be like accepting an ota.

No go. Back in stock recovery and even unrooted, it just won't take ota zip. It doesn't even ask for the pushed ota anymore. I guess I'll stick with this till next update.

Just to be clear, the Odin-able ROM will contain Knox, thus flashing it will result in the installation of the e-fuse? Hence if folks attempt to revert, the Knox counter will then trip?

Won't contain the boot loader. So no Knox flag and should be revert able. Shouldn't trip anything since it's official firmware

Cool thanks. I know it wouldn't trip anything if installed, I was just concerned about reverting out of it. My understanding is that once Knox is on, the Knox counter is active. However, whay you're saying is thay the e fuse/Knox counter is boot loader dependent, therefore problem solved by removing the official Leak's boot loader... Correct?
Do you sub the boot loader with a previous version's boot loader? And if that's the case, would we expect the same kind of problems that were encountered with the 4.3 builds (sound, connectivity) until the hybrid modem solution was applied?

Cool thanks. I know it wouldn't trip anything if installed, I was just concerned about reverting out of it. My understanding is that once Knox is on, the Knox counter is active.

No just don't add a bootloader at all.
And evidently people are able to revert according to the i9505 thread.
I'm on mk2 everything including bootloader. Once I have flashed it I'll provide full info if it trips anything.
Dunno yet. I'd imagine you'd at least need the mk2 modem. The modems will be removed too. They'll fail in Odin and if flashed will cause no service.

You listened to the modder too much.
What exactly do you think this "cooking" thing you speak of? Deodexing and zip aligning with the kitchen?

Hahaha no. Odex and Deodexing has absolutely nothing to do with it. Nor the kitchen.
Do things need removed? Yes. Bootloader and modem's would be one. They fail in odin. You can even flash the recovery if you wanted.
I did the same thing with 4.3 update. No kitchen needed. No fancy fake cooking. Or any other crap another has said.
I'll show you in the next 2 hours. Should be heading home in a few.

Doesn't seem like is going to be so easy the guys over at the international version are trying to cook a rom without much success this is from iB4STiD which builds all the goldeneye roms
iB4STiD said:
4.4 so far
well.. the security on this is odd.. the kernel is either doing a check with the bootloader or its security check come in at the later part of the boot cycle .. its different i can say that .. but this is a leak of a beta who knows.. im still trying to get this stupid thing to boot we shall see.. dont hold ur breath until we get a kernel security bypass .. but it could be worse .. gotta love sammy!!

KitKat Official 4.4 update "M919UVUFNB4" BASEBAND/Modem/FIXED FIRMWARE/ROOT/
Has anybody gotten a hold of the full firmware or just the baseband for 4.4 that was released for the tmo version??? anybody has it uploaded somewhere that downloads at a reasonable speed ???
I will upload it on mega once I get my hands on it if nobody has gotten it before I do so everyone else could download
Android version 4.4.2 / Baseband version M919UVUFNB4

The KitKat update brings improved stability, and major features include white status bar icons, improved performance, reduced memory usage, improvements to Samsung’s onscreen keyboard in landscape mode, inbuilt wireless printing support, ability to select the default launcher and messaging app from the settings menu, a camera shortcut and full-screen album art on the lock screen, and new emojis. You might also find that most apps are lesser access to the external storage than before, which is by Google’s design and hence something you’ll have to live with.
Improvements:
KitKat
Improved stability
New camera shortcut on the lock screen
Improved on screen keyboard

Knox could be triggered it doesn't matter..... My device has knox triggered since a long time ago and upgraded to 4.4 just fine WIFI calling is working you just need to flash a costum kernel after to make WIFI work "I USED ADAM KERNEL" I'm sure any other tw 4.4 kernel will work just fine also..... for some reason this package doesn't update the baseband leaves it on the mk2

Is weird that the OTA update is not upgrading us to the newer baseband...... I guess we have to wait till the complete firmware is out that will deff upgrade us to the new Baseband ???? is ur WIFI working after the OTA update ?? with stock kernel ?
THE ACTUAL FIRMWARE hasn't been released to download so we'll have to wait till is uploaded
I actually see that some people got updated to the newer BASEBAND with the OTA update and some DIDN'T that's just weird..... I guess the unlucky ones have to wait till the full firmware is released

The only reason I updated was for the newer baseband. I guess I'll just wait for it. I didn't really try out the stock at all. I just finished the update and after Rooting and custom recovery, I'm restoring my GPE rom. I can't take TW.

I believe right now only 3g and MMS or 4g and no MMS. There's a 4g fix that breaks MMS. Did it to 2 boost s3s. Read HERE post 1 and 2. You must also remove asserts for ROMs that ARE NOT unified builds, which is explained in post 2 of the above link, or you may have recovery issues.
EDIT:Seems as if theyve gotta working 4g fix with mms for some.

Boost and VM users are getting the OTA update. However, from what I've read, only users who are on their ORIGINAL stock MK5 build, unrooted, have successfully flashed it. What that means is, that if you are rooted and running custom recovery, simply flashing the stock MK5 tar back to original doesn't seem to do the trick. Folks who have gotten the update notice and then flashed back have not gotten the notice again, and Kies is saying they are up to date. And it fails when trying to flash the update.zip from stock recovery from sd card OR adb sideload. Needless to say, as my long winded explanation alludes to, I'm following this diligently and am trying my best to get it solved. Stay tuned!

You can root by ODINing the Philz Recovery tar and using it's option to check if rooted. Or flash the latest SuperSU.zip, just Google it.

4.4.2 can be rooted. But do me a favor. Don't take the ota. Try to see if kies shows you need an update. We need to try and capture the Boost/VM KK tar. If it shows you are able to update to NDC via kies, send me a pm and I'll talk you through how to catch the tar!
