Just download a 4.3 firmware for your country/region from sammobile.com and flash it via odin.
Steps to flash odin package via can be found in the forum.
If you want to get update via OTA,reset binary counter and system status and then go to settings->about device->system updates.
OTA update subject to the availability of 4.3 firmware in your country.
NOTE:The official 4.3 firmware contains knox bootloader and thereby after flashing 4.3 official,you cant rollback to previous firmwares.
You can also use kunal.shah's 4.3 firmware package,it doesn't contain knox bootloader or you can also flash official 4.3 based roms.

UnRoot Note 2?

Can someone please direct me to the forum so I can download the factory firmware for my AT&T Galaxy Note 2. I currently have it rooted and I want to go back to factory firmware and I am having trouble finding it on the XDA forums. I am running the firmware 4.1.2 with the latest OTA update/patch that I received from AT&T. When I go to Kies it says that my firmware is not supported by Kies.

Well no since your device is modified.....you can easily uproot and get back ota updates....I personally think..using a deodexed rom is better...but that's just me

Yes you can update via odin. And yes it will wipe your phone.

[Q] can i flash older firmware using Odin?

Hey guys so i have heard that if i install the old firmware for my s4 from sammobile using Odin one from early 2013 that it will give me access to service menu so that i can unlock my phone. So my question is that is it 100% safe to Odin flash the older 4.2.2 rom when i am on 4.3? Can i flash it unlock my phone then upgrade my phone to a custom rom again? Thank you i also am running a custom rom and have philz recovery installed.

If you are on 4.2.2 bootloader then yes, if on 4.3 bootloader then no, but you can try downgrading modems instead.. Also is the ROM you are on aosp/cm or tw based?

If you update to 4.3 by one of the following methods you're out of luck:
-OTA update
-Kies update
-Odin flash the full 4.3 firmware.
Like mentioned above, if you only flashed a 4.3 ROM but keep your MDL(4.2.2) bootloader you can go back.
Faaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk i did Odin flash the full 4.3 Damnit stupid Samsung why the hell would they block downgrading? Okay so if i did try to Odin flash the older firmware what would happen? I doubt it'll hard brick my phone right i could prob try it if it doesn't work then I'll just Odin flash 4.3

If you flash the official Samsung 4.3 Jellybean MK2 odin flash firmware you cannot go
back to the stock 4.2.2 Jellybean MDL firmware whether you root your phone or not.
Rooting the 4.3 official jellybean odin flash firmware will trip the knox counter unless
you do a lot of reading and find the alternative rooting methods here in xda.
Good luck!

Actually you can upgrade to 4.4.2 with mobule odin, have mobile odin reboot you unto download mode and flash the 4.3 kernal with regular odin, and then root without any of the security fixes. Plus you'll be able to downgrade to 4.3 if you want.

Check this out, you'll have to translate it in Chrome.

You CANNOT downgrade to 4.3 if you have a 4.4 bootloader.
