TVNZ on demand app is now built in. Phone seems way faster :) Good times.

Cloud spending continues to surge globally, but most organisations haven’t made the changes necessary to maximise the value and cost-efficiency benefits of their cloud investments. Download the whitepaper From Overspend to Advantage now.

Don't update if you are a root user, the Knox bootloader has a flag gets tripped if you root and cannot be reset (separate from binary counter).

You also can't downgrade to a non secure bootloader, so make sure you're happy with not having root (for the time being at least) before flashing.

For those on other roms, I will mirror the update shortly (ODIN / Heimdall flashable) - I don't want anyone to experience the pain of downloading a 1.6gb file via Hotfile.

I'm the same, it appears it can be rooted with CF-Root however.

Once someone works out how to apply it to a rooted phone I'm interested.

You could unroot and then Odin flash the stock 4.2 ROM. Check that it's all good then go and do 4.3. If you're concerned about Knox that is!
