New firmware is out NJ6. I can't get the OTA yet but it is available from KIES. Hopefully this will solve all of my signal issues.
I saw this on sammobile as well...most likely this will close the current root loophole...will wait patiently until an awesome developer can create a rooted 4.4.4 rom.
Yes, I did lose root but that is okay with me if it helps my signal. Haven't been able to test it in problem areas yet.

Have you tried to root again with towel root?
Towel Root no longer works, I tried it after I updated...

I actually have 4.4.4 rooted right now on my device but safestrap doesn't work properly now. It starts to load but then reboots into OS.
The first 4.4.4 rom I made would boot, but only had a black screen (kernel modules didn't match boot.img), then I tried the nj6 boot.img and got the warning about unauthorized kernel. So, I decided to try one more thing. I reflashed the pre-rooted 4.4.4 rom I made and then flashed all of the 4.4.4 firmware in Odin EXCEPT for the system partition. This allowed me to boot into my rooted nj6 4.4.4 rom.

Ain't gonna lie ... a lot of that went right over my head; but I'm excited about it anyway LOL :good:
How do I get it on my phones have 2 Note 3's in my house. It's not available on Kies or OTA in my Texas area. Not rooted phones.. or just wait some more?? Thanks
We're actually getting an update inline with other carriers? Anyone noticing any improvements? And do we have any idea when it'll push OTA?
Can someone post up just the radio?

The only thing I have noticed since updating last night is, data speeds have dropped. Not sure if its the radios, or if its the network being bottle necked, but Its taking me forever to download apps and files from my google drive account..

I was having the same issue when I tried to port Sprint 4.4.4 It would boot but I get black screen... Are you sure you flashed the 4.4.4 bootloader?
I would try to make a deodex 4.4.4 system flashable zip and flash and then right after it reboot to odin and flash the 4.4.4 kernel might work without flashing the bootloader and that way we have a working SS.
Kind of a newb to Note 3 firmware upgrades. I just downloaded the new NJ6 firmware from Sammobile. What's the best way to flash this?

If you're a newb I recommend to stay out of it if you want root and ss. We waited all this time we can wait more to have a stable rooted with ss working version

The only way to tell if it will work is to have someone flash just the system when its a flashable zip and then reboot to download and flash kernel via odin

I tried that and it didn't work. The NC4 bootloader won't let you use the NJ6 boot.img. It gives the unauthorized software message.

Nothing. You already installed the newest Knox Bootloader included with the Firmware and it can not be downgraded. If you do downgrade the Bootloader you will brick your phone. You can flash "ROMS" ( not Firmwares ) all you like from previous builds meaning you can flash a Custom 4.2.2 Rom but you can not downgrade the newest Knox Bootloader you installed.

Really?
I have now the TPH beta installed, but is only a beta, and i really want to return in 4.2.2 firmware, that's absolutely a s*it.
So can't donwgrade with or without root, cannot downgrade bootloader, nothing to return to stock 4.2.2?
All the lag from 4.2 just isn't worth going back. I had to go back to my iPhone 5S until the 4.4.2 came out. Now I'm on 4.4.2 and back on my android and loving it. Never want to go back to the iPhone again.

This would probably only work if you were still able to get into " Download Mode " on your phone.

Ok so I tried this and nothing will boot up now. Was the 4.2.2 a custom rom or stock ? I have a replacement screen that cant boot into firmware 4.3 or 4.4.

A work around for the cheap screen issue booting on stock 4.3 and 4.4 is to flash phils recovery and root followed by a zip install of a custom 4.4 rom. Boots right up . Also with custom recovery I have backed up stock 4.2 firmware on a diff. mega and used that to restore on my 4.4 mega. Not a true downgrade but bootable into stock rom. Took me a long while to figure this out. Hope this helps.

Do you mean boot ? If so ; I removed battery to power off, then put it back , then hold volume down and home button and power at the same time to get into download mode. Then used Odin to flash custom recovery. I used Phils recovery. My issue began when I allowed 4.3 OTA update. I lost boot and stock recovery but could still get into download mode.

The more secury way is apply stock 4.4.4 to your phone via fastboot, and after this, apply the lollipop ota zip file.
I also am stuck on 4.4.2. What could be the reason I never got the update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4? I didn't do anything to the phone at first when I got it. I checked for updates and it always said its up to date. It came brand new with boot loader unlocked and a custom recovery. How did my carrier block updates?

you have 4.4.4 recovery and 4.4.2 rom in your phone? if so, you need to to apply entirely 4.4.4 rom via fastboot and after this you copy the lollipop soak test zip file in root internal memory.
To apply lollipop soak test you need to stock recovery and rom 4.4.4, bootloader unlocked is no problem.
How are you from? you need to download 4.4.4 rom and lollipop soak test from your country.

I've been messing with this all day, to no avail.
When I first got my M8, I unlocked it and installed Android Revolution HD 7.0. As part of the process, I created a backup of the stock ROM.
Everything worked fine until I decided today that I wanted to update to a custom ROM with Lollipop. I tried the newest version of Android Revolution HD and SkyDragon, several times each, and every time it got stuck on the boot screen. The only way I can fix it is restoring to the stock ROM.
As part of my troubleshooting process today, I went from S-ON to S-OFF and changed my CID. Still, nothing worked.
I also tried to update my recovery to a newer version of TWRP and broke it for a while. Mysteriously, when I tried to install CWM from the Play app, it ended up restoring my old version of TWRP.
I downloaded an older (pre-Lollipop) version of Android Revolution and tried to install that to get back to what I was used to, but that was unsuccessful as well.
Can someone please walk me through this process?

Idk of hand if there is lollipop firmware for Att as I'm not a Att user just helping out. So either try an flash a device compatible ROM an see what happens or see if there is L firmware but it should work on 4.4.4 firmware. Should that is. What twrp version r you using? I would fastboot flash the latest one for your device.
I've successfully updated to SkyDragon v37 (5.0)!
I guess the missing piece of the puzzle was just that 4.4 upgrade, immediately followed by a ROM update prior to reboot.
Thanks so much.

Hello,
Tried all ROMS, none is working, below is the detail:
Installed

2 . XtreStoLite-ROM-3.3.1-DPDP.zip ROM, Problem - AFter flash Phone model shows G925F AND NO CONNECTION TO NETWORK, EMERGENCY CALLS ALL TIME, TRIED flashing MODEM for g925w8 no LUCK
3. KIngfisher ROM, after flashing Kingfisher ROM, phone is STUCK AT
*KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING* and phone will not turn ON.
SO , I guess there is NO working CUSTOM ROM fOR G925W8,canada. At the end I flashed stock BOJ7 AND Phone is working perfectly with 5 1 1 G925W8 BOJ7
I'm using the G925W8 on Xtrestolite. You must be missing something. I'm not sure what though

Custom ROMs for that work for W8
I've have confirmation from multiple users that my OZOP Rom is compatible and working flawlessly for the following devices Flat and Edge (rom is Edge based) F/I/T/W8. Could be more this are just the confirmed working devices.
Also OZOP is currently very active with development and actually about to be updated!
What ever Rom you decide is up to you.
Just letting you know there are options available.
Good luck
I believe you need to update your bootloaders using a stock 6.0.1 image or flash them via odin.
Also look in the T mobile section for a custom kernel like stang has a rom showing for. Our devices were basically secondhand tmobile rebranded as W8. Everything is literally the same minus us canadian guys cant use wifi calling.
So in short flash rom, then kernel and let it boot. Once it boots then turn it off and restart into recovery and flash call fix. If you need an updated callfix I can post a link here.
I found if you flash all three before first boot the zip from callfix creates a bootloop. Therefore it tells me the zip needs to be flashed over a built system

I know how to do it, the phone is unlocked, so not sure what carrier I should be flashing on it. I legit just need it to be able to use the Network, currently have it custom rom'd but no network.

So the best I've been able to do is get it on a custom rom with no network connection at all. Seems like Im losing the ability to get it working. I tried Wind, telus stock 6.0.1's and i get the SW rev error, I've tried Rogers 5.1.1, and I get the same. Only thing that flashed on my device was "AP_G925W8VLU2AOG2_CL4808800_QB5701859_REV02_user_low_ship.tar" but it didn't boot past Galaxy S6 Edge logo, and recovery wasn't loading to try and factory reset to continue boot. I'm pretty sure this phone is dead.... I mean the custom rom was 6.0.1 with arter kernel, but no service... I'm lost...

Thanks Sir.
Any ideas to my posts above?
guaranteed it's the bootloader and modem.
Once you flash the 6.0.1 ones via ODIN, then both crisscross and xtrolite should work. Crisscross, you will need to flash an independent audio fix which Christ have provided you in the post above.
Xtrolite (which I'm using with Twisted V4 Kernel) has it integrated so you shouldn't have any audio problems. Mind you, if you're still having trouble. Flash back 5.1.1 stock kernel and then let it update officially via samsung kies or OTA. Our phones now have 6.0.1 release so once you do that, you'll automatically have the new 6.0.1 bootloader and modem for our 925w8 phones. Then it'll be simple to flash a custom rom at that point.
Just update stock system to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (or flash stock 6.0.1 via Odin), then flash TWRP, do standard wipe with TWRP (Data, Cache and Dalvik), flash XtreStoLite via TWRP and everything will work
I have canadian S6 Edge and XtreStoLite is working very good

issue is I can't make the 6.0.1 stock files flash, always getting the SW rev error when cm.bin tries to flash, I've tried, Rogers, Wind, Telus stock files, nothing works. On CrissCross right now but not service... I want to get back to stock or at least make the bootloader work.
EDIT: Apparently using the most recent koodo stock, got me back to stock rom and with service! Now to root and do the custom rom properly! Thanks all!

I believe you need to update your bootloaders using a stock 6.0.1 image or flash them via odin.
Also look in the T mobile section for a custom kernel like stang has a rom showing for. Our devices were basically secondhand tmobile rebranded as W8. Everything is literally the same minus us canadian guys cant use wifi calling.
So in short flash rom, then kernel and let it boot. Once it boots then turn it off and restart into recovery and flash call fix. If you need an updated callfix I can post a link here.
I found if you flash all three before first boot the zip from callfix creates a bootloop. Therefore it tells me the zip needs to be flashed over a built system

THIS G925W8 is working perfectly in 5 1 1 , I was able to make calls to all networks including GSM and WCDMA, I checked IMEI status with code 197328640 and IMIE status is OK, then after I flashed 6 0 1 and then the IMIE status turns to NOT GOOD and I am unable to make calls and stuck at EMERGENCY CALLS, looks like this PHONE IS JACKED??
I have tried numerous ROMS, but the only one, that worked was a prerooted original Samsung 4.1.2 ROM, that was fully loaded by Odin.
All other ROMS are stuck in the boot process.
I have done:
Install root - CWM or similar
Wiped
Install ROM
Any suggestions for a Kit-Kat ROM, that is debloated and working?

Go to this link and download stock 4.4 and flash it with odin. Then reflash twrp and then try the custom roms. I think that you still have JB bootloader. Need to upgrade to KK to get the bootloader.

Which firmware from your link or is it not an issue?
Anyway I tried one version, but CWM could not install it??

It reports not being able to "Update", so I guess it is an update - not an complete installation??

Doesn't matter I don't think. You have to flash that firmware with Odin and the device in download mode. Once it's finished you'll have stock 4.4 and the KK bootloader. Then reflash cwm with Odin, then use cwm to install the custom ROMs.
