it won't flash if you're rooted... sorry to anyone who downloaded, but I forgot to check the md5sum and got a Status 7 when trying to flash so as soon as I figure this out I'll have it uploaded again

Better is relative. What is better for one person may be worse for another.

No it works the same as ND8.

Sorry guys apparently I never had a good file to begin with. As soon as I do I will post it.

I can confirm that odining Philz and installing superuser Rooted it first try.
Also this can be side loaded adb.
It really runs alot smoother than before the update.
All nd8 mods have worked so far.
Nd8 deodexed Rooted and modded

That's probably why it worked for you, I'm getting a Status 7 error in stock recovery.

Has anyone flashed this on NJ3 boost mobile modem. Or do you have the tar available for the NJ3?
Wait sorry I didn't even read lol its just an update. I'm on the NJ3. I'm trying to get back to stock. Hellllp

The tar isn't available yet, you can try checking Kies

update .
I applied all mods from ND8. the only one that wouldn't work was the Odexed version of the hotspot mod (stuck on samsung screen)
so in turn i used ryans old deodex.zip and deodexed the rom now all works well.
i did switch back to Ktoonz kernel with the settings Ryan has on TW experience rom
im going to ask ktoonz if he can add this new kernel to his tw list of 4.4
So if you deodex after you upgrade. all the ND8 mods work: sound increase, hotspot, custom splash, etc
if you dont deodex than you'll have to use wifi tether or something like that. until someone fixes the odex hotspot
i will say it seems to run smoother and the sound quality is improved alot.

I wanted to go back to stock so I Odin'd back to ND8. I found this thread and thought I'd apply the update right away. When I boot into recovery and choose "apply update from external storage" I get a screen full of garbage. I can't take a picture or screenshot of it, but I'll type out the first several lines:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
K0T49H.L710VPUDND8
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
../
=??b ?&.m? /
b.?v /
_3? ? .? /
?? ?l?.2? /
[and so on all the way down the screen]
If I choose "../" it takes me back to the main screen.
If I use my volume keys to navigate down it goes all the down and off the screen.
Any idea what's going on?

No idea. Looks like your SD is corrupted. If not, I don't know.

Stock ROM, nothing special about it. IOts more for when you have an ooops moment or can be used as a base by other Devs until we get Odin Tar.MD5.
If you want to restore stock recovery just re-root with Chainfire root tools.
That will reload stock recovery.
This contains the radio part to? Looking forward to start experimenting with 7100 ROMs to see if I can get them to work now that we have the ATT radio and all.

I have to say, as tempting as it would be to flash to stock 4.3 to take this update, I'm already on 4.3 bootloader and if this is knoxed and prevents me from going back to 4.3, it's definitely not worth trying to flash until the guys make it safe to do so.
Edit: I'm sure someone has already tried so let know how it goes.
Be careful here guys. If you read XDA I'd say there is a 90% chance that you DON'T want to flash this one or accept the OTA from Sprint. Wait for an update labeled "Root + deKnoxed" or similar.
Way to go CNexus for grabbing this so quick!
Give it a day or 2 and we'll have a Rooted stock deodexed. Can't wait thanks cnexus
Md4 Rooted Modded....... Flawless
I'm on stock MK3 and not interested in root at this time.
Copy to SD card, rename to update.zip and reboot?

While we wait, there are definitely Knox support files in the OTA.
Guess we'll hear eventually if the bootloader is Knoxed as well.

I believe it needs to be placed in /cache, at least that's where mine was when I got the OTA this morning.
Edit: Never mind, you're not rooted
I have a Knox bootloader. 4.3 would this matter if I wanted to flash this?

No, it'll just update your bootloader to the ND8 Knox bootloader

Copy to SD Card (needs to be an external SD card if I recall), rename to update.zip, power down, reboot to (stock) recovery, choose install update.zip. This will not work from a custom recovery only stock.
Keep in mind, if you don't like what you see, you will most likely not be able to return to MK3.

Pretty sure Sprint won't have Wi-Fi calling for awhile, it doesn't benefit them and their major pull is unlimited data. You can always use a Wi-Fi calling app like "WiCall" or "PHONE for Google Voice" or "GrooveIP"

You Sir, are awesome. Thanks.
quick question, so this requires stock nd8 to be flashed, means it'll wipe data anyway right?
Quote:
Misc Requirements
Flash the ND8 stock tar if you haven't already.
Is this step above necessary? Or do I just follow these instructions?

It's necessary. That's why it's listed as a requirement.
No kitkat touchwiz rom will boot on your device otherwise.
Love your work Cnexus but Im hoping you would provide a little clarification.
1) Since you say this requires installation of the stock Tar Im assuming this will still have Knox built in? specifically in the bootloader I know the apps can be deleted but the bootloader is separate.
2) If I flash the ND8 tar can I downgrade to a previous version ?

[Q] Odin after ND8 upgrade

So this isn't really a problem for me yet, but yesterday I tried to flash MK3 with odin while on Stock ND8 because I was worried about having L710VPUDND8 which I got from here as a download, when the version Sprint is suppost to be rolling out is L710VPUCND8. Not sure why the OTA would differ from the one I got here, but anyways I tried flashing back to MK3 so I could just get the update when it was pushed to my cell and the flash failed after it got to the "aboot" part. Im wondering if this is because the version I have is higher then the version I want? And is there any way to circumvent this and go back to MK8. Also does anyone have any information about the difference between PUCND8 and PUDND8? Im worried because I want to make sure I get future updates such as 4.4.3 which Im sure they will come out with. So as you see its not really a problem right now, but could become one in the future possibly.

DO NOT ODIN MK3 IF YOU ARE ON ND8, flash a custom ROM if you wanna go to MK3, do not flash the firmware, and I doubt there will be anymore updates. This won't work because the Knox Bootloader won't let you downgrade your firmware and you can easily brick your device trying to do so.

No you can't downgrade to MK3 firmware you will brick. Knox won't allow it. Install a custom recovery, flash an MK3 ROM if that's what you want, but you can't go back to factory MK3.

Okay, then the only thing left to ask is if you know of what the difference between PUCND8 and PUDND8 is? That is really my main concern. I just wanted to go back to mk3 to get the OTA update from sprint instead of from the zip file I downloaded from here. Could it be that Sprint made a mistake on their website showing L710PUCND8 when the version is actually PUDND8?

The PUC is based on Sprint's official OTA source code. PUD is based on Samsung source code for all Sprint devices (Virgin Mobile, Boost, etc). That is the only difference from what I understand.

I built this from the stock firmware tar found on the SamMobile website. You can check out the XDA thread with a faster DL for the tar available HERE
I used ArchiKitchen to build this. It is rooted and zipaligned with busybox.
Instructions:
*Requirement*
You must be on NJ2 already to flash this and it work properly! If you are on ND8, it will flash but will have problems. I recommend flashing the tar linked above in oden first, then this will work fine.
*Requirement*
Also, if you are on any version of android earlier than ND8, please refer to this thread -HERE for instructions on how to prepare your device for ND8 or NJ2 before flashing.
1. Download ROM and copy to SD
2. Check md5sum against the one on AndroidFileHost to ensure a good download (md5sum Checker is free in the Play Store)
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik
5. Flash ROM
6. Reboot
Download:
Odex HERE
Deodex HERE
Special thanks goes to JustArchi for his kitchen as well as to all the people here at XDA.

simple question: What's the difference between this and CNExus's Stock TW rom? NJ2?

CNexus' is ND8 this is NJ2. It was a security update so there's not much of a difference.
Thats cool, thanks for putting this out.

NOTE* I flashed the NJ2 tar before I got this built so I don't know if you need to flash the NJ2 tar first or not!

Looks like you do. I flashed over ND8 and got stuck on the Samsung screen but was able to restore.

Which did you try? Odex or Deodex?
Glad you got it figured out... I just finally flashed the NJ2 tar this morning.

I just did a fresh DL and flash. (DLed it directly to the phone using Wicked S5) It booted ok but took about 4 minutes.
Edit: Just did the same thing with the Odex version with the same results.

Guess you gotta have the NJ2 Bootloader, not surprising, seems to be a trend for Samsung.

Is there anyone who has not flashed the NJ2 tar who would be willing to see if you can get this to boot? That way we can have confirmation as to weather it matters or not.

Yea, but usually its good to get multiple experiences to verify something like this. Not just one. He may have had a bad DL or may have not waited long enough, etc.

Just tried the Odex version over ND8 and it booted fine. I'll try to redownload the deodex version again. maybe a possible bad dl like you said. Btw does your wifi work? I can't get the wifi to cut on?
Edit: Ok redownloaded the deodex file and it worked this time. Must have been a bad dl. Still can't get wifi to work, even with the deodex file. Not sure if it has anything to do with me being on ND8.

Yes everything works on my end.
System/lib files can give bootloops also try copying your HW and Modules from system/lib
and copy WiFi and Bluetooth from system/etc over to new firmware there's maybe more to do but its a start.
I went ahead and took the plunge and took the tar. Everything works fine now.
