When I got this update I thought it was 6.0 cuz the file was so big. But it said 5.0 after the download. So I thought maybe t mobile was pushing me the 5.0 first so I can get the 6.0. I never went to do an update cuz I didn't want 5.0. But when the update came automatically I thought this is what was going on. So I guess the wait continues. Thanks for the reply though.

Where can I find this download for 5.0 on my phone so I can delete it? Can I even delete it.

It can be deleted, maybe someone can chime in for the answer to that, I never have took an update ever. I build the rom myself, no need for updates for me...sorry....lol

So how did you create this, Samsung hasn't released it, who onows they may never. Is it a Note 3 ROM like your 4.2.2 one modified to work on our Canadian Note 8?
What about root? What about 4.2.2 bootloader? Does it have the external SD locked for writing from apps like the real Kitkat?
Give us some info? If this is real, its amazing and we all owe you?

I didn't think the 5120 rom would work in our tablet. The 4.2.2 didn't, you had to create a special ROM.

I think AT&T is the i467. The Canadian carriers were the i467M. I don't know the difference but I wouldn't download this yet. Don't want to brick until I understand what this is.
I know that there is no release from Samsung for our ROMS, also that the 4.2.2 ROM from the 5120's LTE Note didn't work on ours, so be VERY careful. I'm waiting for some info from the developer as to what this is.
This same developer did a version of 4.2.2 for our i467M's. I'm using it, and it's great. The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446155
But I think that was ported from a Tab 3 as he called the thread 4.2.2 N5210 for i467M. The N5210 is not a Note. it is a Tab 3 10.1 inch tablet.

I tried the other ROM the developer did for the Canadian variants on my AT&T and couldn't get around the AT&T locked bootloader.
Just noticed in the OP that wifi is not working. So really not ready yet. Any update Yorgo, perhaps more info in the OP would be good.
Thanks
@Yorgo1982 Glad you're breathing a little life back into this tablet. Samsung seems they have deserted us again. Any hope on getting wifi up and running?
I will do my best as im not a user of this tablet anymore.

Is the kernel 5120 as well? If it is then maybe be able to attain wifi using the spherecat kernel. If it isn't than perhaps looking at the present i467m kernel may lead to some headway.

Nice work. I'm ready to install it. Is there anything NOT working?
Do I have to root it after I install, and do I have to put on a custom recovery again, or will that remain?

You might want to make sure you're running the latest version of CWR if you're trying to flash a kitkat based room.

Help needed: Ota verification issue

Hello, i am currently on 17.1.2.A.0.314, rooted with SuperSU with survival mode enabled. I get the update notification for 23.0.1.A.0.167, but when i download and try to install it, it says verification failed. I had recovery installed previously but i reflashed the stock firmware to remove it( i didn't wipe the data though), but still it says verification failed. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

your rom has to match stock to be able to update
Any changes need to be removed (root, mods, Other stuff alike )

My rom is purely stock with no modifications at all except the root. Some people updated over the air and that saved the root, that's what i was trying to do too.

im not sure how they did it then :/
root counts as a modified system because you have the SU binary and superuser manager
As I told in another thread, OTA update with root is pure luck if everything went good and remain root.

I was able to update rooted phone over the air many times before this one. Now i'll update only when there is some working root method for 4.4.4 (because i just don't want to flash a pre-rooted firmware as i don't want set up the whole phone from starting). Anyway, thanks for help ?.

No, i don't have recovery! Just the root, but still it's not able to verify the ota update. I am not going to update now, pretty much satisfied with the current firmware.

You need to carry out an OTA upgrade for that to work not all carriers support OTA. And those that do may carry out checks that fail, try flashing stock UK (unbranded) .314 I know people who've had success with that one.

You might have to settle for avoiding 4.4.4 then, as I don't know how much effort devs are putting I into finding a new exploit when flashing a pre-rooted rom is so trivial.
Ok i'll try that, but if it fails too then i won't update to 4.4.4.

[Q] TWRP not installing.

I have tried installing TWRP 2.8.7.0 twice now through ODIN and it shows PASS, but when I try booting into recovery it always says something about installing update and I end up in stock recovery. It's my understanding you didn't need root to install custom recovery... am I mistaken?
Anyone? Really need help with this to use Debloater.

Hopefully it's not as fck'd up as 5.0 tho. 5.0 wasn't even buildable with out fixing crap first

Should I even bother trying to update H901?

Has anyone that's rooted with H901 tried to update to MM? I didn't touch any of the stock apps or other pertinent system settings that might cause an update to fail. I do have TWRP so that might stop it. Sometimes updates just over write the TWRP with the stock recovery.
I'm thinking it probably would not go through but I was also thinking about trying it anyway for the heck of it. I don't want any boot loops if I can help it. I'm hoping for a flashable rooted stock rom someday.. Haha. Thoughts? Worth it?
