Official KitKat for Canadian GS3 variants out now?
- Thread starter DarthDerron
- Start date
Just fyi, Fido, Rogers and "Unknown" had a new KK build posted this morning at http://sammobile.com/firmwares
Firmware version NF2.
Still 4.4.2 so its probably a minor bug fix or networking improvements or something like that. Just a guess.

It seems to be a kernel update that stops TowelRoot from working.

(this is bad for us, but it's good for the average user because the TowelRoot exploit can be used for malicious purposes)
I'm on FNE6 with Fido and notice that i can't use the mobile data (4G) while on a phone call now! Also when i'm not in a LTE Area and the phone switch to 4G, i don't have data for a couple minutes... briefly 4G not running good on this new baseband/bootloader... Anyone else ???
cf auto root worked for NF2! You'll need to isntall an updated SU app by apk and run it though to disable knox!
this worked for me but try this at your own risk!

I've noticed that since I started using modified roms from 4.1.1/2 right up to the latest. I think it's a modem thing. Calls go through 3g or something. Could be a battery saver feat or something. I'm not 100% sure but who really uses the net and takes calls at the same time?
That's like talking face to face while your friend sits on their phone. lol RUDE!
The second post above you just said that cf autoroot works on 4.4.2 (2nd update)
Oh, thanks for pointing that out.
Just getting back into the rooting scene and didn't think NF2 4.4.2 was reference to the latest update.
I was on NE6 4.4.2 and following attemps to root with cf auto root then towelroot, my phone became buggy.
Plugged my phone into kies and updated to NF2 seems to have fixed the issues....
Great to know that someone has succesfully rooted NF2 with cf auto root.
You'll have to install an updated superuser and then quickly disable knox by opening the freshing installed superuser app and saying yes to disabling knox when it asks, I had to repeat the process twice before it finally worked. Then after i used root explorer to delete the old superuser.apk from the system/app folder and copy pasted the new one in, this stopped the super user force closes that poped up after a reboot. After that it works great for me.
As I pointed out before do this at your own risk...

Hi I have a Sasktel 1747M S3 with KitKat 4.4.2. on it. I have loaded the download screen and it says nothing to do with Knox in the top left corner. I also checked under security and administrators and Knox was not listed there either. My question is, can I downgrade to 4.1.1 in order to unlock my phone?
Thank you. If you need anymore info, please drop me a line.

2Here I rooted my NF2 rom on my Rogers S3. Before you start all this process, download all the needed files to your external SD card.
1) I used Odin to flash to the latest 4.4.2 NF2 rom on Download mode, which I downloaded from samsung-updates.com.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747M
2) I put the phone on Downloaded mode again, flash the Philz recovery for d2lte, latest is probably 6.48.4.xxx.tar.md5
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
3) Lastly, I go into Recovery mode and flash SuperSU

Wipe cache and dalvik, then once rebooted, my device is rooted.

Mine is on this one and I haven't been able to root it yet.1I wouldn't recommend this update. I updated this morning and everything seemed fine until I tried running Waze on the way home from work. My device was plugged into power as it usually is, but now on this new version my battery is actually discharging WHILE connected to power.
Now to look into rolling back. This is a deal breaker.
Edit: And for the record, this drain is confirmed on two different Galaxy S3's in our house.1
Wanted to quote, but I apparently hit the "thanks" button in Tapatalk instead. Lol
Anyway, go to www.towelroot.com, click on the big fat lambda to download the apk, install it, run it and make it rain.
Easiest way to root Kit Kat.
Don't forget to download SuperSU from the market afterwards.
Happy rooting!
