Psa: DO NOT TAKE OTAs after updating to kitkat leak (nc2)

[bajasur]

Does this version of 4.4.2 still hate on folks who want to tether?

There is a hack in @BeansTown106 base :thumbup:

Newbie help!!!

Big fan of rooting my phones but things have gotten alot more complicated to me since I finally upgraded from my Motorola Droid Bionic (Verizon) to my Note 3 and with all these different files I need to get the leaked kitkat I need major in doing it. Are there any video links on step by step directions to each file I need to download? Is there a number I can call from anyone willing to inbox me with some help??? Go ahead and laugh now, but I have been smart enough to keep my unlimited data with verizon up to this point lol.

Yes. Go to the new kk stock root rom thread. It's in there.

@Hashcode and @ryanbg any more news on kexec?

Okay, before this gets out of control. Kexec is now possible, yes. BUT, kexec is VERY finicky and difficult to get working properly. When you dump the running kernel and replace it, all the hardware/services/processes your kernel was running become very confused and have no idea what state the hardware is in, or what various system services and processes were doing. In order for kexec to work, the old kernel needs to be 'bridged' properly meaning the new kernel needs to pick up where the old kernel left off. The new kernel needs to inform the harwdare of its state, especially the modem, and all other ciritical attached processes/services.

In order to do this, it takes a significant amount of time, debugging, trial and error, etc... I'm not the right person to do it, but I'm sure @Hashcode could give it a great attempt, and I bet he already is. However, it is going to take more than a couple days to get kexec working, IF it works. It will take a long time. You guys will have to be patient as kexec is tricky. I'm sure if Hash makes any progress, he will let you guys know when the time is right. For now though, I wouldn't even bother asking. It's a very tedious and timely process.

I don't have a Note 3 myself but I just want to thank Beans for all he does. Hope to see a leak for the Note 2 soon Thanks again Beans

@DrPhant0m ,
Have you tried this yet? If so, how did everything go?

Thanks!!

:good::good:

Hey... yeah, I did it this morning, and it worked great. I downloaded all the requisite files, checked the MD5s both on my PC and on my device to make sure they are good (not necessary, but good practice), and then played along as the YouTube video in the 2nd post of the BeansTown ROM thread guided me through it. The only thing I did differently was... I didn't delete the one nandroid (do they still call it that?) backup from when I first installed the rooted MI9. For some reason, I couldn't risk just deleting it... and I didn't think it would matter if I left it on there until AFTER I was sure everything worked alright. I can tell you... it didn't matter that I left it on there for me.

After I had booted into KitKat and the dust settled, I installed the new safestrap, booted into recovery (by pressing the button during boot, not through the app), and THEN I deleted the old backup I had. I now have a new backup of this kitkat release.

The only problem I've come across so far is that Google Wallet Tap to Pay doesn't work... but that seems to be common to everyone that installed the leak, not just me. There seems to be an explanation for it... Something about "NXP Controller" and "HCE" being supported in 4.4.3 natively. (Don't quote me on this... I don't understand what I'm saying) A link was posted here, to explain... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573842 (I didn't understand what was here, either.)

Did you try it, as well?

I tried the leaked version. I'm back on mje build after a day. Time to attempt my luck at rooting. I got all weekend to fix it when I bricked. Lol

If you want root on kitkat... install beans's pre-rooted rom. There may be other roms coming... but this one is getting great reactions, and super easy to get installed

I thought you had to be rooted to install beans deodex or does it install like the leaked?

You are correct. You have to be rooted to flash beans odex or deodexed builds in safestrap.
I think the other guy was suggesting to use beans builds to keep root and have kitkat.

Moderator Comment: Just some very light cleaning folks. This is an outstanding thread from an amazing developer. Please forge ahead.

 

[aldouse]

No don't do that sxtpdev one.
Use the builds and instructions posted in Beans thread. It's the sxtp leak but it's rooted.

so.. stupid me did the sxtpdev method... i'm stuck huh? i can't odin back to the 4.3?

 

[rclar144]

Odin should fix!

?N3.....4.4.2Kitkat?

Yeah your going to have to Odin the MJE tar and root. I just used vroot for my girlfriends phone tonight. Then use safe strap 3.65 and flash Beans odex or Deodexed 4.4.2 build and flash the firmware in Odin 3.09. I used the new Odin 3.09.3 successfully tonight. Follow Beans instructions after back on mje.
But yes you can Odin back to mje real quick. Root that sucker and load up SS 3.65 and flash Beans 4.4.2 build. Either one and flash firmware.

Oh wait a minute you odined the full leak? Sorry it's getting late. If you odined the sextape leak and didn't use Beans builds to upgrade I'm not sure if you can Odin back to mje.
Sorry man my fault for the wrong info. You can try to Odin back but I'm not sure what will happen

Maybe pm Beanstown and see what he thinks.
Man you might be stuck.
Hopefully someone gets a root method for 4.4.2 for people that odined the sxtp leak before it was prerooted.

Man I feel terrible.
Sorry bro.

I odined from stock mje to the sextape leak. I didn't really care for it, so I odined back to mje. Worked fine for me. I did use a pit file to reformat with the mje.
