Now that 4.4 is official on Sprint, it is safe to release this...
This zip is flashable via stock recovery to update to 4.4. Please note: I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for ANY damage caused to your device for using this zip. Proceed with caution.
Sprint 4.4 Flashable Update
If you have rooted or unlocked the bootloader previously, you will have to revert to stock firmware before flashing this. If you have never modified your system, you should be able to flash this with the method below.
To flash it:
0) Save zip in sdcard.
1) Shut off the device.
2) Power on holding the Volume Up + Power for about 15 seconds.
3) Release both buttons.
4) Press Volume Down in the bootloader until you have Recovery selected.
5) Press Volume Up to boot into recovery.
6) Recovery will say something about no command. This is normal. Press and hold Volume Up + Power for about 10 seconds.
7) Release both buttons.
8) You will now have the option to flash zip from sdcard. Locate the zip and flash.
Also, this is a full system dump with boot.img attached.

Any way you could upload the SystemUI.apk for me separately? I've tried 6 times to download the whole system dump rar and it keeps failing. All I'm wanting out of it is the SystemUI.apk anyway.
Sure!
Here you go:

Let me know if you guys have any other requests.
Ok whats a System Dump? Getting rid of carrier bloatware?
No, this is a dump of the /system directory of the phone. By the way, if anyone is working on a ROM for Sprint Moto X and wants the updated /system, please let me know.

Just picked this phone up and it's kind of depressing seeing the development section for Sprint. This is actually the first time I've ever had a phone where the none of the variants have their own forums.

So just to be clear.... we can flash this like a normal rom and not have the boot loader get locked?

you most be UNLOCK
the rom is 100% original no changes to rom at all the only changes i did remove the original files for the recovery and the init.d file ..
i have flash and test the rom with recovery 5.0.2.7-photon3.. i will not support this post it is only for any one the may want to have 2.3.5 ..
have funn.....
ok if you guys wan to test drive the rom here is the link
just wipe and flash

So if I'm reading this right this is a deodexed stock Rom of the new update without the new locked down bootloader. Your post says must be unlocked but is there any reason that this can't be flashed with bootstrap without unlocking?
What changes are we seeing with this (2.3.5 doesn't count)? Any fixes for things like wifi or lapdock500 support?
I gave this a try but I didn't have any service. No 3G and I couldn't make any calls or text so I just restored my backup. Not sure if I need to do something else though.

Looks like you need to change libmoto_ril.so from 198_7 or flash new radio. But BEWARE flashing new radio switches the fuse!!!
That means, you won't be able to run locked 198_7 and you must stay unlocked.
I know there are not alot of us around here, but I know of a few guys that are running a Verizon S4 with A T-Mobile SIM card.
I have been running Verizon ROMS and getting 95% functionality. Service is weird, but works most of the time with a few area's that I have to manually go into gsm mode to keep data. BUT I may have found a work around for all of it.
I am running a the i9505 4.4.2 TW ROM GoldenEye, nothing was changed in the ROM to make it work better with Verizon. I posted a thread to let other people know about it here and it is working for some, and it is failing for others with APN problems, but it was/is 100% working for me with no changes to settings at all. I installed, Loki-Dokied, and booted up to 4G automatically running. I got LTE by changing one word in the APN.
SO I need a couple guys who are running a T-Mobile sim in their i545 to test this method for me and see if I just got really lucky or if we have a winner here.
I will put the how to in the next thread.
***I take no credit for the work on this ROM or the Loki-Doki fix***
**I take no responsibility for you phone becoming a paper weight**
*You preform this at your own risk*
:highfive:
#1 You must be on the MDK boot loader, radio's don't matter but newer radio's seem to have a more stable connection.
#2 Do a Nandroid, you can never be to carful
#3 Do a full clean wipe like your supposed to...
#4 Flash GOLDENEYE VERSION 24 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629 (The ROM)
DO NOT REBOOT (you will get an unauthorized boot loop)
#5 Flash http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577109 (The Loki-Doki)
#6 Reboot and let it sit for 5 or 6 minutes
#7 ????
#8 PROFIT
Report back here with any info or updates you guys have. I have tried a couple other i9505 ROMs with limited success but working together we might find some other ROMs this method works with. Also in the ROM thread iB4STiD has included links to remove a lot of bloat and additional mods.
To get LTE go into your APN settings adn change "epic.T-Mobile.com" to "fast.T-Mobile.com" The data icon wont change to LTE, but I am getting 26 Mbps
Give credit where it is due:
The ROM was created by: iB4STiD
Loki-Doki was created by: TheAxman
Both cool guys who gave me the go ahead to post their work.

I'm aware of what the bootloader is, yes. But this is an i9505 ROM so it won't boot with the i545 without getting the unauthorized Verizon software screen. It was to my knowledge that the i9505 bootloader was removed to avoid this.
And I am on the MDK bootloader in case you were wondering.

If you read the thread for the EagleEye ROM in the OP's second or third post he mentions that the bootloader is not included. That is why I origionaly had it in my OP my lack of sleep and my smoking habits didnt allow the info to sink in right away while I was typing. I was in the process of editing my OP when you posted originally.
ROM's do not include the boot loader. Your bootloader if MDK will stay MDK no matter what ROM you flash.

Roms do not have bootloaders, your phone does. Which was my point. If you have an mdk phone you have an exploitable bootloader. They are not packaged in the rom nor can they be removed from the phone. I just find it interesting that someone posting a ROM for testers ( as well as you, the tester ) doesn't seem understand this....

Haha, my warranty is nonexistent as I bought the phone outright from swappa and am now on T-Mobile. I understand the gist of what having the MDK bootloader means along with how great it is to have the exploit djrbliss made available to us.

I am by no means a developer, I am just a dumb ass who stumbled onto something that works for me through trial and error and listening to other dumb asses who tried stuff on their phones, and I was hoping it would work for others. Test it, don't test it, what ever.
To be honest I have no idea what a boot loader is, I know what boot loader I am on and I know that some smart guy exploited it to allow us to replace the software with something some other smart guy came up with. I know that the newer ones haven't been exploited like mine and that's why they can't do as much as MDK guys can. Hell I don't even really know what safestrap does but from my razr days I know it allows people to install different ROMs.
Bottom line, I am just a guy using other peoples work to try to help some other people not "error" as much as I have and enjoy their device a little bit more...

I'm running on TMobile. I actually have been since we first started discussing the 4.4 TW roms on the i545. I've had no issues and didn't have to enter any APN settings.
The ROMs we are flashing, Goldeneye for instance, do not include the bootloader. If we were flashing Samsung images then bootloaders and modems would probably be included, and would probably brick the phone since we'd be flashing incorrect sw. That said, as long as you are on the MDK bootloader, exploited by Loki, and running a custom recovery, then following the steps in the OP should work for you. If you get stuck in a bootloop, it's probably a kernel error. Loki-doki should solve that for you. If not, that's why you have your Nandroid back right

I am going to DL and flash soon as I get off work.
Seems to be working for me...
I am using a t-mobile SIM and am still on MDK. I followed the instructions in the OP, and the phone appears to be working. No other mods, themes, etc. other than the OP. SMS, MMS, Data all appear to work. Speeds seem consistent with LTE, but no way to know.
On initial boot, however, I always get this message: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". However, after accepting the message, the phone appears to work normally. It may have something to do with the dark dialer theme that appears to be part of this ROM. I have seen that message before...

Yeah I wasn't going to try, I run ARLiberator and I didnt pay $30 for nothing. Seriously considering the highly advocated leak though now that I have actually taken the time to read through the PSA and thread comments.
I'm kind of a noob though, I don't understand a lot of the intricacies of programming. Am I correct in assuming that if they are able to build a custom kernel with this unprotected firmware, it will be possible to install non TW roms Like CM11 one day?

if the kexec module is perfected it will allow us to 2nd boot a aosp kernel and in turn run aosp roms like cm11,aokp,gummy etc. this is a hard task but having the opportunity to use it is a very good thing
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the general forums for the Verizon Note 3? Some might just like being informed about the stock update in a thread without it being bombarded with beans rom posts. We do have the posts about this already I believe.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the general forums for the Verizon Note 3? Some might just like being informed about the stock update in a thread without it being bombarded with beans rom posts. We do have the posts about this already I believe.

Well, I must be wrong then. I guess I'll try to find a general forums so I can be informed about the stock kitkat update.

Just waiting on a custom kernel now that we have trwp and my phone is complete hoping dr87 will make a version of simple kernel for the g3
I believe this is just a work around so boot loader is still locked but you can flash roms

1. Yes, this is a true unlock. There is no other unlock mechanism on these phones. This is not a work-around, and calling it as such implies that there is any alternate method to use.
2. As for bricking, unfortunately we can't be held responsible for people that haven't done the legwork to verify that what they're doing is safe. We (Team Codefire) never released any mods for the G3 variants that were not unlocked in an effort to do our side of the responsibility to not make it easy for people to accidentally brick their phones. Now that recovery is released, if the end user does not ensure that TWRP functions on their device and ends up getting it in a state where the stock rom does not boot - this is 100% their problem as we were careful to ensure that all the information an informed user needs to make this work on their phones is out there.
2a. Regarding CrossDL, we actually will have a workaround for that here soon. As long as people don't touch their LAF or Factory partitions we can unbrick them from almost anything short of them editing sbl/rpm/tz partitions (which nobody should ever be doing!)
So are you implying boot loader is unlocked? Because this is similar to Loki like on the g2

This is from the Bumped thread
Is this similar to Loki?
No, you will not need to ensure your firmware version matches exactly with the ROM you have. You will only need to make sure that the ROM you downloaded is compatible with your carrier.

It's already been started by the devs that roms AND kernels will be able to be flashed as long as they are bump compatible. So yes there will be custom kernels.
As already stated here, and in other threads as well as the official Bump thread by the developers themselves, this has unlocked our bootloader. We are essentially free to flash ROMs, kernels, and other mods (provided they've been Bumped) as if this were a Nexus device. The past couple days have been a fantastic turn of events for our lovely device.
Now, am I the only one constantly checking the development threads hoping for one that has [ROM] in its title? I know we're probably weeks away, but I can't contain myself. I'll gladly donate $50 to the first developer who brings us a fully functional AOSP ROM.

Some devs were given the bump api early so they could get to working on ROM's.
There is a working CM with bugs in the works and should be released probably around the same time the bump api is released.
People are talking something as long as the developer "bumped, bumps" roms and kernels, what does that exactly means?

The roms have to be modified (aka bumped) to work with this method of flashing.

Roms don't have to be modified the boot.IMG has to be bumped so we can flash,cubed has said very simple and will share soon with the Dev so the end user has no worries.
so does anyone have anything to test yet. I am itching. I preordered a note 4 the other day now I am thinking I will be cancelling that

So stoked for roms. This is my first android device. Today I did my first nandroid backup and tried out jasmineRom for a second.

True unlock last time I checked the arthor of that did not have anything to do with it. Idk what makes them think its a workaround.
That's like LG saying thats an LG G3 & and your telling them no it's a fake (clone)
Who are you going to believe
Anyways it don't matter it's unlocked why are you stressing it so much? Lol
The offical ota is now out and going to be on every phone soon!
You beat me to it!?
Very excited, hopefully there is no delay ?

Looks like we'll have some lollipop goodness in 1 week
I just saw the same internal reports for the S5 and it hit our demos as well.
You can bet it will be essentially unrootable, so if that matters to you don't take the OTA.
I'm more worried about the bugs and lg making it suck.
Well we just need to make sure that we wait until someone makes a flashable zip then we just flash su

I'm no developer, but I'm pretty sure it source code so it'd need to be built. I'd just wait for the update if I were you, it seems imminent.

So what's the point of taking an un-rootable ota? I guess to run the stock firmware minus root?

Downloading the OTA and saving it is good, installing it, not so much. Downloaded source, will see what I can do with it this weekend as far as building a rom from it. Once the OTA drops we can separate the partitions for flashable zips and all that.
It would be truly fun to build stock from source. I've never actually tried that, and I don't know if the source provided will actually be enough to do it
Sorry but maybe someone can help me i have had no luck in rooting my ls990 from sprint i just got it recently and its on zv6 and i tried stumproot and it doesnt work. Any suggestions?

You can't root if you have zv6 iirc. So you have to flash zv4then root your phone. After that you can unlock the boot loader with bump. Last if you want install zv6 here or any rom that is out for LS900.
Someone correct me if I forgot anything >.<
