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.

YouTube sideload adb from qbking77 then use the same technique to sideload the update. It's worth it

Simple, Stock, NJ2, TW
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.
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk!
*It is important to note that there may be additional issues I don't know about and as I am a truck driver, not a programmer I may or may not be able to fix things.
Everyone is encouraged to do what ever you like with anything I post, but a little credit would be appreciated.​

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.

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.

Working pretty well on Tribute. I'm using No Frills instead of KTweeker to adjust it.

Update on my previous post, wifi stopped working for me on Tribute with this kernel. Went back to KToonsez and its working again. Probably because Tribute is still ND8 based.
Just reporting, no big deal.

Ryan, got any news on notifications not working in WS5? I usually get an email or two in the middle of the night. Had nothing yesterday morning and checked gmail. Said sync was off. Turned it back on and had 8 emails. Just wondering...really like WS5.
Edit: Battery life is better on KT747 with your settings.

Well if sync was off that would be the problem. I don't have any problems.

ive been using this new kernel for about a week now and i have to say it really works well.
im not sure what the difference is but i can tell in the charging speed, connection to bluetooth speed
the fluidness of the rom even battery life. i am using greenify but I must say this kernel really works well as is.
I dont even know what enforcing and un enforcing would do to make it better. theres really no difference.
thanks again Ryan.

Is rooting that simple?

So I am about to load the ND8 stock tar over my MD4 rom (because I want to ultimately load the latest CM11)... but I am confused.
One of the posts here seems to loosly suggest that after loading the samsung stock tar of MD8, I can simply follow up with ODIN of TWRP. From there I can then load any rooted rom and have root?
Is this right? Seems that in the past, one needed root before installing a recovery.

Yes, but I highly recommend Philz Recovery over TWRP, it has zero problems with TouchWiz and AOSP, TWRP seems to have problems with TouchWiz. Philz also has a root option in the recovery so you can just root your stock ROM and download SuperSU from the Play Store and done.

Then just run it through Odin (I suggest you uncheck Auto Reboot and wait until it says PASS and then pull the battery and go into Recovery, go to Philz settings and there will be a ReRoot option. Then reboot and download SuperSU from the Play Store, and you have root).

[Q] Can I revert back to ND8 or NDC bootloader?

I've been researching this for a couple of days and I'm stuck. I put a custom ROM on my phone and now I want to go to a sammy-based ROM so I can get MHL tv-out to work. I'm using the pacman mod, which I don'tthink is a samsung-based ROM (right?). I was planning on flashing the Wicked S5 Xperience ROM. I think my knox efuse is tripped so I'm thinking I can't? Here's what's currently on my phone:
PAC version: KK RC-3 dev
Android 4.4.4
baseband: L710VPUCMK3
Kernel version 3.4.104-cyanogenmod-g80424e3
[email protected] #1
build number: pac_d2lte-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q
eng.build.20141103.011559 test-keys
SELinux status: Enforcing​WHen I put it in download mode I see "Warranty Bit:1" in red
How can I get Wicked S5 on my phone, which requires the ND8 or NDC bootloader on my phone, or any other sammy-based ROM, so MHL will work?
Thanks so much in advance!!

No love? :crying:

Odin ND8 then flash the ROM. The Knox warranty bit is tripped, but will not prevent you from flashing anything, only downgrading your firmware.

Ok, so I flashed ND8 and the HDMI-out (MHL) worked great! Then I flashed "Wicked S5 Xperience", and HDMI doesn't work now. Can I try a different kernel with the Wicked S5 Rom so I can get HDMI to work? What's a good modded de-bloated ROM for this phone with a working HDMI tv-out? I found this thread that appears to have a solution. Should I do as it describes? Thanks!
