I also recieved the update (ND3), but still on 4.3. I can't find anything stating what the update actually is.

Damn it that Knox crap. What's the point, I am stock. I can't even flash a Mod. Because I am root they knife me in the back.

Tell me there's no way back except ODIN back.

Added ability to roam on telus network. Got it last night. Also freaking patches the kernel so the saferoot method no longer works

it's probably just a way for them to try and lock the phone back down before the 4.4 release.

looks like 4.4.2 is released to those nordic countries for the n7105. the people on the att note2 forums are playing with it. Hoping for a port if everything goes well for them.

This update its very telling. A simple roaming fix that also kills root. Looking like my last samsung phone and maybe the end of VZ for me.

There's a pdf you can view before you download the update. it lists an update for Galaxy Gear, improvements for wifi, maps, voicemail notifications, bunch of other crap. comes with amazon appstore preloaded. im not rooted so i guess i'll go ahead and download it lol.

PuffJr2 · May 10, 2014

theyve been killing root with every update. id be more surprised if they allowed root to stay.

not going to take it

I keep getting bugged to do the OTA..
I don't want it...
I guess I need to start a new thread and find out how to stop the OTA if I am not rooted.

So the numbers did not change? I am on 4.3 now...

I got the message to update today so pulled the battery.

The only thing I care about is My free WiFi Hot Spot.
The last update KILLED my free FoxFi hot spot. But I was able to get it to work again by

(1) turning the phone off,
(2) removed the SIM card,
(3) retried FoxFi, without the SIM card, That got me passed Verizon's Subscription Check and Allowed FoxFi to install a security certificate.
(4) turned the phone back off and reinstalled the SIM card.
(5) turned the phone back on and my FREE WiFi Hot Spot has been working every since.

Could someone that has already taken the latest update try this and let me know if it will work ?

So far I have not taken the update.. Sorry I cant help you..

Update and root.

Just wanted to say, I was rooted running the stock rom and I took the OTA update this morning. I still have root access according to Super SU and Root Explorer. I have no idea about Foxfi, I don't use it.

I just downloaded and installed FoxFi, and while I'll admit I'm not familiar with the app, I got it set up on my phone and was able to connect and surf the web on my sons tablet. I didn't have to use the steps in the post above though. Hope that helps?

Please tell me.

What version were you at when you installed another rom. I'm at Verizon stock 4.3 now and have not taken the latest update on 5/14/2014 . Is it possible for me to root and install another rom ?

the only way that I understand on flashing a new rom <touchjizz only> is using hashcode's safestrap after rooting, I have no idea how to go about this though, I'm still unlocked on 4.1.2 bootloader running an AOSP rom, lol. knock on wood my phone won't screw up and I have to warranty it out for a "brand new" <insert refurbished> stock 4.3 Note II.

I believe this was only a small change to allow roaming on Telus in Canada.
