Link to instructions

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could post the link to the thread about upgrading from NC2 to NC4. I'm missing something and also possibly retarded.

Thank you :D

Will there ever be kexic
Not to be rude but to expect anything other than touchwiz roms on a retail note 3 is not likely to happen. Kexec is a dream that may or may not come to fruition. That's why I bought a developer note 3 and I'd suggest if touchwiz isn't doing it for you invest in a Dev edition.

I've been running this for the past two days. With this along with SS for KK can we now install roms not based on TouchWiz? Such as AOKP or Cyanogen.

Also, without fully understanding the difference I installed the de-odexed version. After reading a bit into the difference I found that de-odexed is not optimized. Being someone who does not go far past root/xposed/and possibly a separate rom on SS, is it wise to keep it de-odexed, or should I switch?

Thanks in advance.

Deodex is best for customizing. No if u own the retail n3 u can only flash touchwiz.

Rollback SM-N900V 4.4.4 ?

I made the mistake of doing the OTA update on my Verizon SM-N900V to 4.4.4 and I now realize the talk on the net is that this version cannot be rooted.

Is it possible to rollback to 4.4.2? Or have I done myself in?

You're stuck until someone figures out how to root 4.4.4 since it's not possible to roll back to 4.4.2

Can 4.4.4 be rooted ?

From what I can tell , there is no root method available for 4.4.4. Can someone confirm this ? I am so mad at myself . I was running 4.4.2 rooted with Jasmin rom V6.0.. I tried to flash the new version of Jasmin (6.1) using Flash Fire and my device would not boot . I had no choice but to odin to 4.4.4 to get a working device again . Am i out of luck completely ?

Thank you

Yes... unfortunately, there's no current working root method for anything above 4.4.2 on our Verizon Note 3's.
