Question about 4.3 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Ok I have been running slimkat for a bit and im interested in trying out tw 4.3. I just reset my phone completely back to stock and am starting fresh. Do i need to be on the 4.3 bootloader to use a 4.3 tw rom? Will i still be able to flash a 4.4 aosp rom if i am on the 4.3 bootloader? Are there any drawbacks to being on the 4.3 bootloader? I am currently on the mc3 bootloader.
Edit: I just got an update notice to update from 4.1.1 tw to something? What is it updating to and should i do it?

MH3 is a 4.1.2 version..
If you are seeing an update beyond that ...I have no clue what it might be...

The UCAMH3 update is 185.14 meg.
If you are seeing a 300+ meg update...I do not know what it is ..
Are you ATT ?
If not...it could be your 4.3 official update...and I suppose if you are on ATT network...an update is possible...
Be warned...a 4.3 update will include a locked bootloader and Knox security patches...
Your call....g

Yes i am att. I just flashed the new beanstalk build. what is knox? and can the bootloader be unlocked

Knox is the newest Samsung corporate security software...and it's a royal pain to get around..
The bootloader has to be changed in order for root level actions to be taken...
Honestly...I'm running beanstalk as well...and have no interest in ATT locking my device with an update...
Beanstalk is excellent...and I'm keeping it...
Carbon rom is coming soon also...and will be great as well ...
I wouldn't take that update...until the devs clean it up....g

Alright thanks. Hey do you have a problem with the wallpaper changing zoom and alignment on 4.4 roms?

Not that I've noticed. ..
But considering the fact that 4.4 is a work in progress. ..we are sure to see bugs in the builds...g

What will happen if i install the system update while on a custom rom? In the past i have tried to do the update but it doesn't go threw while on a custom rom...what do I do? I am on jellybomb domination rom 5.0...why am i getting the system update..
The update is li3 its just minor updates for ics. But u will not be able to update from sprint or off ur pfone because u have a custom recovery. But u can easily run a rooted stock rom of that LI3 OTA or wat I suggest is go to jellybean!!!!!! The leak is out!!

I definitely recommend mobile Odin for this. Its worth buying just for this purpose. It will patch the ota file and make it flashable

The answer to your question is, nothing will happen. If you choose to accept the OTA notification, your phone will reboot, but nothing will install because you have a custom recovery.

Two ways.. Accept the update, let it go through process... It'll fail.. Reboot... notifications should not come back
Or... Use rom toolbox and edit the build.prop file, change the references to LG8 to LI3. (5 or 6 of them)... Reboot.. No worries...

Well I already went ahead and did the upgrade 4.3 dn3 version
Working good so far .... but I think features like smart stay and smart pause not working....
Also It got most of the note3 features which m happy about :thumbup:
There been some post where for note2 you will get 4.3 version android but it will b without note3 features..... to get note3 features you can use "note3 experience" app available on play store .. havent tried that since I got my custom rom running already and I came to know about it later
3 days already and rom running good

Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)
The main reason for me to expect 4.3 is the bluetooth LE (4.0).
Any other way to get this ?

Bro..just download the prerooted MI6 firmware for JB 4.3,it wont raise your binary counter and your phone's status will remain official.It also doesn't contain the KNOX enabled bootloader.
Or you can also download MJ5 version firmware.It does contain KNOX enabled bootloader but you can roll back to old bootloader after following dr. ketan's instructions in one of his threads.
Both these firmwares wont increase your binary counter and will keep it official.
Also group play is nice
There is a way now in application managerr where you can move apps from device to sd directly.. and so its pretty nice :thumbup::thumbup:

VirginRom as of now is already on 4.4. Perhaps you downloaded an outdated version of it. The 4.4 kitkat update people are awaiting for is the one with TouchWiz.

So you now have VirginROM 4.4.x? Is it the same one that's been available in the Android Development section since like December? Because if so, it's the official 4.4 update and it IS out and has been for a while now.

Pardon the comments which seem like objections, but they are necessary if the content of your post is not exactly accurate. The GPE 4.4.2 has been available for a long time for this device. The official TW 4.4.2 is not available yet. Don't confuse the two. Also, of course the GPE update notification will occur if you're on the older version of Virgin Rom(4.3). But if you have a custom recovery it will fail to install most likely. Also, the title of your post fails to recognize the complexities of going from 4.3 to 4.4 on an older bootloader and having a fully working result.
I think your intentions were nice, but you may end up misleading people.
Mods can you delete this thread please.

I'm trying to flash a 4.4 tw ROM (wicked v1) and I get stuck in a bootloop.... Is there a flashable zip I can download so the ROM will boot

My apologies if this is off topic, it is still within the bootloader question.

It's all up to you. Ask yourself this. Do you want the KitKat features? Or do you want to stay in JB with almost the same amount of features. I upgraded myself just because I don't want to do it later, if newer roms come out

[Q] Canadian Stock ROM Compatibility with ATT Variant

hello everyone,
I am tempted to flash the stock ROM package for the SGH-i317M on an ATT version of the device, the SGH-i317
the reason I want to do this is because of theATT KK update, and how it locks the bootloader.
the ATT note 2 is now on 4.1.2 (MA4), so its still on the old bootloader..
would I be able to get away with this, or will I nuke my phone?
I have the ATT version of 4.4.2 (NE5) available without the bootloader. Follow my sig or check the dev section. @dicksteele also has a modded and debloated version out.
