Is this the OTA 4.4.2 going back to MJ5 or are you referring to the leaked MLG 4.4.2 revert back to MJ5 4.3. This is what I am trying to do is get rid of this OTA 4.4.2 to get back on MJ5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JimmyMPR:
I never received the OTA 4.4.2, I reverted from KnowRaid 5.1 that is based on ROM 4.4.2. Was easy if all steps are followed.

Don't forget to hit Thanks !

JM
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
You can't go back from the ota 4.2.2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JimmyMPR:
You mean 4.4.2 not 4.2.2, right?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KennyLG123:
NC2 to MJ5 I got that part. But I'm still wandering if I try the NC2 to MLG then MJ5 since NC2 and MLG are the 4.4.2 bootloaders. That is my snag. I cant find anything on this issue yet this is still all new since the update hit last week. That's what info I looking for is going from NC2 to MLG.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JimmyMPR:
There was a previous discussion about it, and I recall that someone do it that way. Don't remember the post exactly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KennyLG123:
Hopefully i'll find it. I've been searching since the update didn't want it but got it. I maybe the first to try this but I'll use the one-click for MLG to see if it over writes the NC2 if that would work then I can run the revert to MJ5. MLG also has the Kitkat bootloader in it for the sm-n900a.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
Yeah been a long day
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Your on NC2 then your stuck, if you try to downgrade you will get the error

SW REV Check Fail [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2

meaning NC2 is Binary 3 , MLG and MJ5 is Binary 2, I think MI9 is binary 1, because MJ5 would not down grade to MI9
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kuroishi11:
So here is the million dollar question. I have no way to get the files on to my external memory card... At all. For whatever reason every device on in my house refuses to read the SD card. Will there be any other way to get those files onto the SD card or another way to install this? My phone is stuck on the galaxy screen and refuses to boot past it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KennyLG123:
Yea [MENTION=1155038]smokestack[/MENTION] said the magic word. Different bootloader. I was thinking the bootloaders were the same for being Kitkat. But thanks to Samsung and at&t. We will just wait for root so we can do our magic.

This did not fail on a restore from this. It failed on a KnoxRaid update. Nothing special. Just tried to do it like i always have. Got stuck on the boot screen. All i can get into is download mode and recovery.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Yes it will, unless your still Mj5 then it would be updating to NB4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] e_peres:
Ok? I'm on the Mj5 the update that it's asking is for NB4 will that mean I have to re-root? will the RLDV scrip be wiped out and I would have to re-due it or the scrip would be different and need another? Again sorry for dragging this. :o

having a problem after the restore getting root, In past I had used kingo app for root, it is getting to the section where is says fetching scripts and just hangs, it didn't do that months ago but I was on 4.2.2. I am on 4.3 as of now,, And after the mj5 restore last process says to unzip to internal, when I click on rldv root zip to extract then the extract all option I cant find any option when I browse to find internal sd. I have unzipped to desktop then copied over to phone while it is hooked up but no go when I reboot it doesn't get root.

Unfortunately, Direct pen input has stopped

Alright, I have searched through this thread and it seems the problem of "Unfortunately, Direct pen input has stopped" is/was an issue for most people. Possible solutions includes re-downloading (and renaming) the same file, ie. sec_csc.zip or 2400258.zip . I have tried them both both but none seemed to work for me. I understand renaming the file may solve the problem but what I don't understand is why much we re-download the SAME file if we already have it downloaded. Also, I'll appreciate suggestion from anyone that encountered the same problem and was able to resolve it.

thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Check the md5 numbers of sec_csc.zip or 2400258.zip.

If wrong redownload

sec_csc.zip is the file that fixes FC
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] x61tab:
Still having the problem. Let's say I ignore this and flash a new ROM on my device, will the problem go away or will it be on the new device as well.

Update:

Got it resolved. In case anybody else encounter's the same problem, here is what I did. In recovery mode, I wiped everything then flash the sec_csc.zip file ONLY. That is without re-flashing the 2400258.zip file. That's what did it for me. Hope it helps you.

I accidently wiped everything on my phone while flashing and had to install MLG, and I was trying to restore to MJ5, which I have actually done before successfully. However, now the Heimdall doesn't work at step 5 and instead says "The parameter is incorrect" with something about 87. Anyone have any idea why?
