Do not take the ota. Im capturing it right now. Once ive inspected and cleaned the updater I will post it. As far as i know it's firmware update and some updated samsung features and apps. Just hang on.
EDIT... It tries to patch the stock recovery/knox system/selinux setup. Im going to remove them and see what happens. Ive already cleaned the ota and made it a zip.Will report back very soon.
What's changing?
Connectivity improvements related to receiving calls and text messaging
Security patch
Updated Google apps
I still cannot get it update and keep wifi. I took the dive and ota'd to see if its rootable. It is not,thank god for odin. Someone with more experience is going to need to look at this.Sorry guys I tried.
Hey guys, just letting you know if you apply the stock cfg file manually, it will wipe your data. So backup before update... I just got screwed.!!!
Get your upgrade here....
Here ya go OTA in original cfg. Adb push to cache/fota. Go to update and click continue. Reboot after you push, so it shows up in update section.

Cfg will wipe your data,most likely will kill root and prevent re-rooting.
Here is the ota in zip form 100% stock. I just made in zip form and removed the patch checks so you can flash in safestrap.

Flashable works fine allows you to keep root and safestrap. Here is what I did. Restore back to stock,wipe caches. Flash the zip. Mount system delete SU app from recovery file manager,leave the binary. Reboot. Check all is fine. Reboot back to recovery,flash su zip. This worked perfectly for me.
sorry, could you be a little more specific with these? I'm still a little new. What did you do to restore back to stock? I've currently removed bloatware through titanium, so no longer have at&t software. also, i'm rooted. Am I correct in assuming this is the order?
1 - Restore to stock
2 - Wipe caches
3 - Flash the zip (The entire i537_Update.zip?)
4 - Mount system (Does this mean use the "Mount" feature in SafeStrap and navigate to the specific "System" folder?)
5 - Delete SU app from recovery file manager (completely lost as to how to do this. Is it the file manager in the "Advanced" section of SafeStrap? If so, is that only for files or can I uninstall apps?)
6 - Leave the binary (also not sure what to do here)
7 - Reboot
8 - Check everything is fine
9 - Reboot into recovery
10 - Flash su.zip (Where is this file located?)
Sorry to be a pain, just hoping to get my facts straight. Thanks.
No problem man you got it very close. Restore back to stock,needs to be 100% stock NE3,reboot to recovery,wipe caches,install zip.Do not reboot yet,in safestrap navigate to mount,click on system, then click advanced,click file manager,navigate to where su app is(most likely in system/app) just delete it.binary is in xbin so just dont worry about it but dont delete it.Reboot.Once you see the upgrade popup,reboot recovery flash su zip and your done.I could not strip out knox or disable selinux because it screwed up wifi. theres a de-knoxing zip somewhere on here just use that after your all booted up.
how do you restore to stock? odin flash the NE3 files? If so, doesn't that mean I lose root, and therefore SafeStrap?
I got the OTA notification and came here to see what the updates would be, and am not impressed enough to go through all of this to apply it... But I can't get the damn notification to clear off there from being postponed. How did you get that done? lol
Install SafeStrap and flash the NH3 flashable zip.Is it best to let the phone OTA to NH3 first? (I have current root on NE3, towelroot, and can unfreeze the at&t updater "stuff")
There is no Odin file, the links for everything you need are in the Firmware Thread.I don't see an ODIN file for NH3 to do the Towelroot procedure only the entire .cfg file
Anyone have a link?
