You are way far away from your forum, you need to ask the question in http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/help

Two days and still no help on this yet. Someone gotta know something.

If rwilcos works than any of the custom 4.4.2 tw roms should work. For help maybe give some real info about the issue.

Could not find much more info about the thread. Nor anything about CM 10. Info is sketchy at best. Galaxynote2root.com is all I could glean from the web. Anyone? Love the AOKP but no WiFi tether on that one.

I understand devs needing phones to dev on, but, wow there is a lot of threads on xda for people buying other people phones! I just can't get on board with that anymore. To many people have scammed to get phones for "development"

Yes, you will trip the Knox flag, currently no method to reset it. TWRP is fine, just do some reading about restoring backups.. If done incorrectly, you will experience what's been coined "The Brickloop"

Thanx , what will this take away besides warrenty? Anything of use? Is there a chance chain fire could fix it in the long run? Sorry just so used to my s4, main question is should I root or hold out??

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

i believe it gives you root access only. As soon as you flash a custom recovery it trips it

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.
My response to you was a gentle reminder that reading is a good thing.

The fact that you took all this time to write all that and ridicule me is ridiculous when it would have been easier for you to have just been nice and post the link like the last guy did. .. Sorry I didn't see it however easy it was, but that's why we are here to help one another. ..so please next time either don't comment at all and let someone else who wants to help, help, or just help someone out. ..It goes a long way and makes this place more civil. ..

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..

[Q] SPH-L520 Kitkat 4.4 Firmware

Hello,
Is there a release yet of the latest update firmware for Kitkat 4.4 for the Samsung S4 mini on Sprint network (SPH-L520) yet? If someone has it, it would be nice to have it posted. I would greatly appreciate it. Could anyone post it please?
Thanks in advance.
It still hasn't been released yet... :/ officially, you can still get it by flashing a custom rom. But since you have the sprint version.. like myself. :/ You have to wait. Happy waiting. x3

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping they would have customs roms out by now. The stock is ok...nothing to write home about. But customs roms always rock out your phone way better IMO.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that soon we can have custom roms.
NP Yeah I was hoping the same. I think they aren't any developers for the sprint version. I was thinking about maybe port a rom by myself.

Can't wait!
With your phone disconnected from the computer for precaution:
Reboot to download mode, think it's volume up or down + home button + power
Act as if to say yes for use and the next screen will show you text up top, this information you see... Does it say knox on any line?
Just wondering

I must say you will love the CM ROM.
I have a favor to ask as that Dev works to help me out also. Can anyone with the SPH-L520 on sprint give me a copy of the PIT file or upload a backup (no data) of the stock ROM.
I made a mistake and rooted/flashed the phone for my girl before activating the phone, not knowing that sprint would have issues doing so. Now the only stock file floating around doesn't work. using samsung kies didn't work and trying to get samsung rep to give me the file was hopeless.
Thanks

I'm stuck in TWRP

checked out the newest post on galaxynote2root.com about turning my note 2 into a S5/Note3 hybrid.
FOllowed the directions telling me to flash the Verizon version to my Sprint device but it failed. Normally no big deal but like an idiot I did not back up and I did not have another ROM to fall back on.
I have a card reader adapter that I have attempted to put other random roms onto and flash through TWRP but EVERYTHING fails and I can't figure out why. SOmebody please help me out here
......
Update: I've been able to flash the Illusion Rom with no Fail message but it just boots to the Samsung Galaxy Splash and doesn't move like it's loading the greatest cut scene ever. So yea still stuck if anybody could help out
Ok I can most likely help but I need more information. Give me a link to the thread you followed and the rom you flashed. Please send it in a PM so others wont see it and try to do the same thing.
Another user recently posted a video link to something claiming the same thing in one of my rom threads. I have ported over a Verizon rom to sprint and it is not a simple thinbg to do. Wish you would have seen this in my thread before you tried it. Hopefully I can get you up and running again.

I went to that forum and read everything along with the comments. Looks like they really have no clue what they are doing. The users who did not mess up their device (non sprint users) do not have working wifi because they do not have the proper information. There are specific files on each device that is needed and they were not told to change them. I left a mostly nice comment about their steps for sprint.
Sorry guys I was already heading to bed when you guys started messaging back. I appreciate you guys taking the time out to help me with my problem. jlmancuso I've sent you that PM with hopefully all the information you need and requested.
Update: I have just attempted to Flash the stock firmware from samsung-updates.com through ODIN and I am unfortunately still getting no further than the Samsung Galaxy Note II splash and of course I've also lost TWRP
Final Update: After flashing the stock firmware back to my phone I went into the basic recovery mode that it has and did a factory reset yet again and apparently that did it and my phone is back to it's normal self.
Thanks for your help guys ... kinda lol
