I tried all the methods to downgrade, using Odin, the Heimlich maneuver (Helmdall) etc. I just couldn't get it to work and ended up with a totally dead device. It came up with the att logo, did one beat of the. Music, then froze. Scary. Wasted hours today on my phone (again). No idea why. Followed instructions to the letter.

So I just reinstalled the leak using one click. I'm going to wait until it's on the BB system.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
AT&T's system just got the SGS4 4.4 complete ROM today according to the Device Support Center rep. It was released as an OTA starting February 26th. So that's a little over 4 weeks. Let's hope ours is faster or Samsung at BB gets it earlier.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nccu_eagles:
I was on MLG leak and took my phone to bestbuy and had them flash NB4 and everything is ok. I then went home and received the OTA via wifi. Make sure that they allow the NB4 update to wipe your device. The NB4 update failed the first time because they were trying to do it where I didn't lose my data/settings etc. I told them I didn't care about my settings (I had just flashed the leak anyway lol)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jasonstackhouse:
Come on fellas this is a dev board and all im seeing are a bunch of people running to best buy to have the geek squad fix their phones for them. I wrestled this issue for all of an hour, enjoyed trying anything stupid i could till i figured the kitkat update out. If anyone on here is planning to take a trip over to the best buy for an update please dont just pm me and i will walk you through the upgrade step by step.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
It is what it is. I'v seen legit issues that only BB could fix in regards to updating, but other have just been lazy, have no will to learn and expect us to do for them what they can do themselves if they would read and take the time. XDA isn't what it used to be with so many people wanting to learn and grow with the community.

Then this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701062

Took about 30 minutes to switch from leaked version to official NC2 kitkat. Very easy and no problems at all...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gregb777:
The steps in the first thread do not work for those of us who flashed the leak from the one-click thread. Unless I've missed something over the last few days, I believe that is still the case. I would love to get rid of this leak, but it doesn't seem very easy at the moment.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Smartino666:
I actually followed both those threads yesterday to get my phone from the leaked 4.4.2 to the official 4.4.2 KK and it worked perfectly. Just take your time and do each step and you will find success.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] potahov:
I flashed the leak with one-click and steps from the first thread worked fine for me. Just stop prior to rooting your device
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ekerbuddyeker:
I have been flashing and messing around with devices for years. I followed the steps exactly but it didn't work for me and I ended up with a dead device.. Which I was only able to get back with one click. So it does t work for everyone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Wow. A couple of things. Both posts that are ridiculing others for their personal choices overlook a couple of things.

1) Folks who installed the leak did take some risk and wiped and had to rebuild their phones in order to use it. They also took risk knowing there could be issues, as there now are, getting the official upgrade when it came out.

2) Going to Samsung at BB or an AT&T DSC isn't about fear or laziness it's about risk/reward and the value of time. When I do one of those things I'm still going to have to spend hours rebuilding my phone. Not wanting to spend more time following instructions written by different hobbyists speaks more to the value of my time than how big my balls are. Some people change their own oil and paint their own houses. Great, I choose not to and don't feel the need to defend why.

3) The leak performs well. What's the rush to spend more time and add risk in getting to the official version the moment it comes out?

This isn't about how people get off the leak, it's about ego and some people needing to be first and fastest with whatever the "next" thing is even if they don't know why. And XDA or not I've seen horror stories from that group when they bricked their phones or had to wait for days until someone with skills they didn't have came up with a solution to undoing the damage. XDA hasn't been about bullying and ridiculing other members. If that's new, then it's sad.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] potahov:
Not sure about you but I have numerous issues on leak starting from non working stock email app (problems when replying messages) and ending with constant reboots and freezes all the time
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
The only issue I've had is the notification header disappears occasionally and I have to open and close an app to get it back. Most folks on the leak haven't had issues based on comments posted in this thread. Those like you that have issues need to make their own call about the best way to get off it. If I were having your issues I would have downgraded (following part of the instructions mentioned above) long ago.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clownfart:
Here's a question for those more knowledgeable than me. If I'm on the official 4.4.2 OTA I know I can't use the revert to MJ5 instructions; however, would I be able to flash the MLG leak with the one click and have it work since they are both 4.4.2?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] smokestack76:
Nope. The official loaded a new boot loader. So your stuck..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KennyLG123:
Ok smokestack looks like you answered my question also. I was thinking the boot loaders were the same. So looks like us NC2 people will have to wait for root to be able to go from here. Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] eortizr:
btw , get a chair, it took 4 months to get SS to work on KK.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KennyLG123:
Well it may not take that long we have some vary special Devs on here that's made a lot of progress so far with what we got on the note 3.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ideas4ya:
Hey I tried out the new 3.72 ss and it worked. Then I went and accidentally wiped my internal storage so I'm in a bootloop with no access to ss.

I was not on the OTA kk, I was on KnoxRaid KK. Can I use this to recover?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
yes and no you can use this to get your phone working but you will need to do the mj5 restore if you want to use custom roms
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] haroonaejaz:
is this officially launched or still leak firmware ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
leaked
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung at BB here (Lafayette, LA) just called to say they have the full 4.4 image to flash my phone. I can't verify it until I'm able to take my phone in tomorrow. If someone else on the leak goes in to their BB to get their phone flashed post your results/experience.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] elry567:
Sorry if this is a dumb question but would anyone be able to make a onclick for the OTA update just the way this one is
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
not yet to my knowledge, My self, I am still trying to manually patch the files

mainly, recovery.img and NON-HLOS.bin
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ekerbuddyeker:
Just want to report that I went to best buy to the samsung experience desk with my leaked 4.4.2 and they just plugged it into a PC , ran Smart, downloaded downloaded the latest ROM and installed the firmware in about 20 minutes. That was it. Ran perfectly. Didn't even need to reset the device. Was just too easy!

And there are differences I see immediately.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrv427:
looking for the same info. Please share!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
not until some one can make a odin install, with a patch OTA it would mean someone who knows how to manually patch
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
If you are on the leak, you have to use the downgrade to MJ5 thread, then another thread to fix what the downgrade breaks, then you can take the OTA. Takes all of 30 minutes for both.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
yes, as long it is not the official KitKat and as you do not see a A3 in your download mode screen , should be A2

so am I, I did not take the official update, but testing to get the official kitkat installed with root ( while I was running the rooted leaked kitkat), Installed the wrong files LOL, I learned the hard way that aboot was the heart of the new bootloader. so to get my phone back I had to do not testing and got my phone back running the leak kitkat , but stuck with A3 bootloader.

Save yourself hours of time...

I was SMART and visit BB yesterday to reflash my phone after hours failing to update and sideload to NB4 and fixing missing files in the img.ADB method just isn't reliable. The Samsung representative had issues logging on to smart tools. She actually showed me the screen on the laptop. She explained that she has to use her best buy login username and password that is assigned to her to login which was failing. No one in the store did know what the issue was. Since I told her I'm a IT professional she asked for my assistance. I verified SmartTool is the software that is required to flash all the current Samsung phones. The error message required that TLS is required to connect. She was using I.E. to login which was pretty simple access the I.E. settings and enabled it. Right afterwards she was successfully able to login to the Samsung Server. Even if you did have the tool its still useless. The tool is only used to access SAM server only. Plus the laptop she was using I'm sure is dmz or other words the MAC ID of the pc is registered on their firewall to even connected. So having this tool is irrelevant. A real Samsung guru knows Samsung has been using upgraded versions of this to flash it phones. BTW they currently have 4.4.2 available. It took only 7 minutes to flash my At&t Note 3 to Kitkat 4.4.2

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
I would go slow again and make sure you did not forget something

1 did you check your downloads MD5 number with original, maybe a bad file

how far did you get with heimdall ?

stuck on the Samsung Note 3 boot logo, could be you need to check the MD5 firmware files

attached MD5 checkers, either one will do
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cmfarmer53:
I seem to remember having that issue too...seem like it stayed on the samsung logo for a good 10-15 minutes...i was to scared to reboot as i remember having issues before when i had my atrix 2 and bricked it LOL

Try again, and when u get to the samsung logo, let it sit for a while.

I hope this helps you buddy, i had to downgrade from the leak kitkat, so i could update to the official kk
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] outrospect:
Hmmm

Thank you for your response! I couldn't get anywhere with heimdall because the phone wasn't being detected :/ I'll check the MD5 sums again, thank you!

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

Wait did you wait after heimdall or odin? Because mine was stuck after odin. That's why it wasn't able to be detected on heimdall, but I'll do it again and let it sit. I already lost all my music and pictures on my internal storage so I don't mind anymore hahahaha... :crying:

Just wanted to say that BestBuy Samsung booth has official 4.4.2 NC2 update rom, but it's not the full factory image.

I was looking at his screen while I was there yesterday and the day before. You can get it to update from MLG or whatever version, but it'll be an update and not a wipe + complete reimaging. I don't really know if there is a difference between them though.

Reason I wanted to a complete factory reset was because there was non-functioning SuperSU installed in /system/app on my official NC2. I forgot to remove it before doing the OTA update, and I was only able to remove it after re-imaging with MLG using Odin, and then by visiting Bestbuy to get the update. After all this, I did a factory reset through recovery menu. I hope it is now the exact same as stock.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] itmaster85:
Ok,

So after reading a bit about this update and seeing we lose root why is everyone so happy to jump on board? Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but AT&T makes it very difficult to even enjoy this phone with a locked bootloader. Now that we have a root exploit, everyone is so excited to see/test this and give it up... no root or custom roms and even more locked down than it was before. I could be missing something but I doubt it. Either way, good work DG for bringing this over here.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gharris040604:
Reading thru the 1st couple post, they state that if you have ss you will most likely lose it since this contains bootloaders

Yeah .. so far I'm not liking it. Having some strange issues popup every once in a while .. other than not being able to use my Spigen S-View Slim Armor any more .. appearance wise, no change at all. Having spontaneous FC's from Contacts, Settings and Messenger. Rights issues on my SD-Card !!! Found this when I tried copying a picture from one directory to another on the SD-Card, said I didn't have permission to do this !!!

My phone was NOT rooted .. all stock.

When I did the flash, I wiped everything (Data/Cache) .. even did a full Factory Reset. Re-formatted my SD-Card from within this build .. has not resolved any of the issues I've come across so far.

Worse part is, unless AT&T finally brings out a good image (yeah right) .. I'm stuck with this .. unless, I might try and see what happens when trying to go back to MJ5 for ****s and giggles.

3. 3rd party S View cases don't work

4. Current root methods trip Knox

5. No ART

6. Lower video/gaming performance

7. Limited root app support (i.e. no TB, Wanam Xposed, etc)
