[Q]gt-n7100 bootloader to flash official 4.4

hannki · Apr 29, 2014

Looking for some help to determine am i ready to flash official 4.4.

Curently runing slimkat 4.4.2 4.4 weekly.
Androis system info app says i have xxdmb2 bootloader. My previous rom was some xxuemk4 rom. Cant remember what it was.

So do i need to flash mk5 bootloader before i flash new official 4.4? I do vaguely remember that i had Knox at some point.

MJ5 is the last bootloader can be downgraded

Okay here's the deal mj5 is a 4.3 bootloader which is knox free and one can downgrade right back to 4.1.2 but issue using mj5 (or any other 4.3 KNoxed bootloader) is that phone cannot be charged on 4.4.2 when powered off it will power on if you try so.Get into download mode and see if it says "Knox warrant void 1" if it says that then you should upgrade to the latest kitkat bootloader which is ND 3 ,you can power off your phone and charge it while using Kitkat TW rom.Also you can use custom ROM which are 4.3 based.Here's the link to ND3 and how to flash bootloader.

If you are under warranty it will be void cause KNOX will be triggered if it hasn't already for you so beware.

Just checked dowload mode and there where no reference to Knox. Just custom binary counter readings and system status modified. So it should be safe to flash mj5 with out fear of loosing efc/imei.

The thing is that i dont remember have i been using later bootloaders than mj5. Thats why im bit conserned to flash it.

Thanks for your suport so far.

Download phone info app for Samsung and in there check the bootloader version should be mj5 mj9 etc if you are on anything higher than mj5 then DONT downgrade bootloader , you won't lose imei or efs when flashing bootloader. Attached below is my bootloader info

Thank you all from help.
My problem is now solved and I'm on stock 4.4.2.

Used pc Odin and sams french firmware. What is strange is that now download mode shows me
Current binary Samsung official
System status official
Knock warranty void 0

And I have flashed at least 50 times with various roms and have had two different recoveries.

MK4 is the bootloader after mj5 ,mj5 is knox free 4.3 bootloader which worked really well with 4.3 aosp/tw and 4.4.2 aosp rom,it works fine with the 4.4.2 tw builds as well except that none of the 4.3 bootloaders (mj5 and higher) can charge the phone when powered off if you are running 4.4.2 TW rom.Many like myself are sticking to mj5 and shunning from flashing the knoxed bootloader cause charging phone by turning it off is not a deal breaker to us,since you are mk4 you already triggered knox so you're warranty is void so might as well upgrade to ND3 bootloader after flashing 4.4.2 TW ROM

Thanks mate it was really helpful
But now some questions!
Should I upgrate to nd3 bootloader?or this upgrating(going to 4.4.2) gives me nd3 bootloader automatically?is nd3 better than mk4?
Is it worthy to flash a 4.4.2 rom? When there's no completely official based release?
Thanks for your help

If you care about warranty then don't upgrade ,if you don't care about warranty (warranty is expired) then upgrade to ND3 bootloader.No the ROMs won't give you the bootloader,only the modem which is ND3 (i flashed it this morning and got the newest modem and still on mj5).Well nd3 is pure kitkat tailor made bootloader anything prior to that is for JB hence this charging issue we face when phone is turned off while on KK TW ROM.it's officially released for a week now ,france got it first so all the 4.4.2 TW roms you see on the thread are from the french version,Indian version released today on sammobile and some people are getting OTA in India,they are both the same only difference is in modem.So now ball is your court as to what you would like to do,wait around for sometime more or jump the Kitkat bandwagon

Well it seems that flashing 4.4.2 has cleaned your counters. Do you still have guarantee? If not then you are all good. And welcome to the Knox club. Now you can't downgrade bootloader Nor going back to 4.3 or 4.2.1, but who wants to go back.

Brightness bar problems

Hi guys.
I have strange problem after flashing ND3 bootloader on my Note 2 with 4.4.2 ARHD 30.0. The brightness bar in notification bar is not appearing even when the brightness control checkbox is checked in toggle settings. It was always fine before changing the bootloader. Wipe data/cache/dalvik is not helping. Maybe revert to MJ5? (As I assume that it was the one on ARHD 30.0)

Thanks in advance.
