Full UNMODIFIED ota. Don't take if you don't want to:

Download: http://android.clients.google.com/p...fbe72.USER_L710_SPR_MK3_to_ND8_Update_FWD.zip

I take no responsibility for your actions if you flash this.

Requirements:
1) Be on stock, odexed, unmodified MK3 rom
2) May or may not work by flashing through custom recovery, otherwise flash with stock recovery

Thanks bilgerryan for the filename

I can confirm not working with CWM 6.0.4.3.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Free mobile app

bilgerryan · May 1, 2014

It won't work in custom recovery, guaranteed.

tdunham · May 1, 2014

I have to say, as tempting as it would be to flash to stock 4.3 to take this update, I'm already on 4.3 bootloader and if this is knoxed and prevents me from going back to 4.3, it's definitely not worth trying to flash until the guys make it safe to do so.

Edit: I'm sure someone has already tried so let know how it goes.

Be careful here guys. If you read XDA I'd say there is a 90% chance that you DON'T want to flash this one or accept the OTA from Sprint. Wait for an update labeled "Root + deKnoxed" or similar.

Way to go CNexus for grabbing this so quick!

Robalboa · May 1, 2014

Give it a day or 2 and we'll have a Rooted stock deodexed. Can't wait thanks cnexus

Md4 Rooted Modded....... Flawless

I'm on stock MK3 and not interested in root at this time.

Copy to SD card, rename to update.zip and reboot?

While we wait, there are definitely Knox support files in the OTA.
Guess we'll hear eventually if the bootloader is Knoxed as well.

I believe it needs to be placed in /cache, at least that's where mine was when I got the OTA this morning.

Edit: Never mind, you're not rooted

mholloway · May 1, 2014

I have a Knox bootloader. 4.3 would this matter if I wanted to flash this?

No, it'll just update your bootloader to the ND8 Knox bootloader

Copy to SD Card (needs to be an external SD card if I recall), rename to update.zip, power down, reboot to (stock) recovery, choose install update.zip. This will not work from a custom recovery only stock.

Keep in mind, if you don't like what you see, you will most likely not be able to return to MK3.

WiFi Calling?

Can anyone who's installed ND8 confirm whether the update includes WiFi calling? Thanks in advance.

rwilco12 · May 1, 2014

If anyone can grab the TAR I'll make some one-clicks today.

Tar isn't available yet, probably in a few days once kies syncs with Samsung's servers and gets it

No wi-fi calling...

jrob214 · May 1, 2014

Soft bricked during installation. just need to be pointed in the right direction to return to MK3 if possible. Im stuck on Samsung bootloader

Well that's just a kick in the pants, but thank you very much for confirming. I guess I'm stuck with my lousy Airave a while longer.

Pretty sure Sprint won't have Wi-Fi calling for awhile, it doesn't benefit them and their major pull is unlimited data. You can always use a Wi-Fi calling app like "WiCall" or "PHONE for Google Voice" or "GrooveIP"
