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.
Is this essentially what was done by beans & crew?

I don't have the Dev Edition, but don't you just apply the update. Reboot into TWRP/CWM Recovery, Flash SuperSU and then Enjoy! The leak may lose Root, but I don't think it locks the BootLoader, should work.
I'm about 80% sure you don't want to flash this to dev because it'll have the bootloader files in it. If you flash it you might lock your boatloader and end up with a retail device. It'll need files pulled out of it like beans did with the 4.3 files.

I was successfully able to Odin this onto my Note 3 last night. Only thing that kind of scared me was it said it could not detect sim card (while activating right after Odin reboot). I rebooted and after the reboot it no longer said no sim detected. Seems to be working great so far. Does seem a little snappier too.

This build is very stable. It was also rooted, and now I discovered that loadable kernel modules are enabled... This build is everything we could ever want. For that I am very thankful.
What do you mean loadable Kernel Modules? Are you saying a possibility of CM11? Because I know we need their kernel to run it and the locked bootloader was stopping us from changing the general right? or do I have this all wrong lol

In theory, yes, but I don't want to get everyone's hopes up. I'm sure the right people are working on it. Kernel modules pretty much let us interact with the kernel/hardware resources, and typically are EXTREMELY useful for exploits. In theory, using kexec to dump the kernel and re-init with a new kernel/ramdisk is possible. AOSP/Custom roms would be open to us then. Much work to be done, but this is much more realistic than unlocking the bootloader. Really, all I wanted is custom kernels, I'd be okay without unlocked bootloader if I had that. It would breath new life in the Note 3 VZW development scene (even though the devs there are already fantastic.)

Ive got Beans rooted kitkat rom running smoothly and happier then ever! but i have a question that might be off topic.
Is it possible to play music and record the audio with internal Microphone?

I was able to do this before in "whatsapp". I could be playing music and hit the record button and it would record all audio coming out of the speakers perfectly with out pausing the music. I can not figure out how in the world it worked before.. any help?
