Im running a sm-g900t1 but we've not got the update yet but Im thinking it would be fine if I flashed the sm-g900t update. Am I wrong? Also could i just flash the modem and firmware and use a custom lollipop rom?

You can flash the entire tmo firmware. You'll just have tmo Bloat instead of metro.

Not sure. You can always unlock it with this

I'll think about, thanks for the reply
But I'm still not sure if you need to unlock anyway. You can try to flash the latest firmware from Sammobile.com but if something goes wrong you'll have to do a wipe - since you don't have a custom recovery to do a backup

So theoretically, IF I install the Latest NG3 Bootloader and Modem with my PROJECT INFINITY ROM, would I have ALL the newest features offered by the update??? Or do I need to install the WHOLE tar file???...TIA!!!:good:

It will install the full ng3... Most people only update the bootloader and modem until roms are developed using the whole thing.

The correct answer is no. There are framework files still missing until you flash a ROM based off the full tar.

That depends on what features are in the update. Depending on the feature, it may show up in the bootloader, modem or ROM files. So in many cases you would need to flash the full firmware to gain all of the new features.

That makes sense...thanks!
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.

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.

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.
I've a little Question.
I want to root my Phone. I've installed latest official Marshmallow update (G925FXXU3DPDP) and don't know what's the way to root. The cf-autoroot from File Chainfire is different from my current Buildnumber.
I saw a Video from "Highonandroid" in that he first flashed the SpaceX Kernel and then the Twrp, does this work?
One more Question: When i flashed Twrp and want to install a 5.1.1 over the Official Marshmallow, do i get a bootloop then?
Sorry for the Questions, but i am new at this and don't want to do anything wrong
Flash twrp as in original android development section. Then flash supersu.zip.
And no 5.1.1 rom on MM booloader.

Doesn't matter if the build numbers aren't exactly the same. As long as your device is g925f zeroltexx the root will work fine.
I have 6.0.1 g925f and i used cf autoroot a few days ago and no issues or errors

Yeah you can use flashify to flash your roms and zips. Make sure you make backups first though of your kernel and recovery. Just incase.
