Interesting. It will be nice to be on 4.4 and use of the apps that only work with that version (or work better with it).

I definitely won't be flashing this, it isn't worth losing root for the changes in 4.4, it really isn't that much of an upgrade.
Try to avoid it because it will most likely have roll-back protection and also there isn't any root as of this moment.
It's possible to get a pre-rooted system.img with SS, install it, immediately reboot into download mode, install boot.img (kernel and ramdisk), modem, bootloader images, etc... then reboot. S4 guys did it. It's completely feasible for us. I can provide instructions for you to do this, but it may be somewhat verbose.

If we as a community are interested in seeing further leaks, I'd advise against uploading any mirrors of these files. The uploader has requested exclusivity. This seems like a fair trade-off to me.

I thought we can only install roms with Safestrap. Not even a kernal. How can this be accomplished through SS. Just curious, I'm not a developer.

Convert system.img.ext4 to img, extract contents, apply su/ss, create TWRP zip, safestrap to system, reboot into download mode, flash everything else using Heimdall except original system.img.ext4 since it's not rooted.

Hey guys

Please please please

For the sake of development.....do not mirror this file at all. The individual responsible for the file does not want any mirrors uploaded.

Thanks for understanding.

I'm not seeing a mirror yet on the site at all. Is it on that page yet?

You also need files from cache.img.ext4 that ultimately end up in /system.

Has kingo been successful with any of the other KK N3 variants?

No we'll have to use a modified upgrade method.

Also, it's just sec_csc.zip from /cache/recovery that needs to be flashed in Recovery.
