Thanks alot guys and waiting for reply
Whatever u do, don't upgrade to 4.3 by official updates because you will lose warranty. If you want to keep it clean then this is what u need to do:
1. Install custom recovery ( I recommend. Philz's)
2. Flash Mj5 bootloader ( very important so you can keep your warranty)
3. Now you can do whatever u like. Flash custom roms etc.
I know it's not much explained but I'm sure someone who's got more time will explain better. This is just quick guide so you can stay safe.

i already lost the warranty after makeing a custom rom for the 1st time
i already lost the warranty after makeing a custom rom for the 1st time now after losing the warranty i cant upgrade the official update it says that your phone is modified and software updates are not available so i want to update manually by a custom rom
You only lose warranty if they can proof that you modified your mobile. If you have not used official 4.3 update then it's easy to restore your phone to stock with out any trace of previous modifications. Install custom recovery which is designed for installation of custom roms. Read this forum and you will find all the answers. Remember don't use official 4.3 updates for now until your knowledge is a little bigger. Regards

I would go for 4.3. 4.4 is not stable enough for everyday use, and 4.1.2 is slower than 4.3. Find some ROM with Note 3 pack, you will have more options and features and they're pretty bug free.
If your new to android have a read of some of Dr ketan's guides. They are very helpful and noob friendly. You won't go far wrong if you follow his advice

Easiest way is to follow a guide to get you nexus back to stock via fastboot won't take more than 15 minutes get the 4.1.2 images here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images There are instruction all over xda to achieve this only thing you might have to do is change file names if the guide isn't up to date other than that the commands are the same.

no, the update is failing because you are on a custom rom.
if you want the update, you need to go back to stock and then re-root.
there's a sticky at the top of this forum.

You should not really care much about OTA updates once you have a custom ROM on your device. I can see maybe flashing back to stock if you wanted to sell the device, but for any other updates you should check the ROM you like and just see when it is updated.

Hi!
I was running stock 4.1.2 and was rushing to upgrade the 4.3 (I'm on N7105). Knowing what I know now, I should have read more about Samsung KNOX. I strongly advise you to read more about it especially if your phone is still under waranty.
Keep in mind that for now, it's NOT POSSIBLE to downgrade from 4.3 down to 4.1.2 or other versions. Tried it myself- doesn't work.
However, what just might save you is if you have a nandroid backup of your last system (like 4.1.2).
Hope this helps...
Cheers
Should i be updating my note 2 to android 4.3 or i should be rooting and flash other rom.
It's up to you what you gonna do with your phone. Nobody should tell you what to do, only samsung do it. If you update there is way of going back. So decide what you do. Flashing is dangerous and some custom roms don't work without bugs , but for every thing is solution. If you feel that you gonna read much and check all the steps before flashing then you could go this way.
If you want your phone to give you no job at all then stay oficial. Well 4.3 has nothing to offer....

Dear Experts,
I have T-Mobile Note II T889 rooted with Clear ROM 5.0 and android version 4.1.2. I have my phone SIM free so I can use any other SIM than T-Mobile. I need your help in updating my ROM to 4.3.x without losing unlock feature in addition to rooted ROM and minimal customization i.e. the same experience as stock ROM that has high stability and high maturity. what is the best ROM for that? . Does N7105 stock ROM work for me?
Thanks for Help
Phone unlock is permanent(one way process). You do not have to worry about it.

a) If you are 4.3 bootloader you can flash this MrRobinson's ROM

b) If you are 4.1.2 bootloader you can flash this ROM, download link on post#1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2636552
If you want to stay stock then you may not flash any other ROM's but if you wnt any custom ROM's then just read few posts in development forums and see which ROM suits your need.
Guys i have a very weird question pertaining to my note 2
I have the at&t note 2 and have been hunting for the official update from sammobile to kitkat but havent been able to find a link, and the rooted ones all have some issues that i faced so staying away from those for a while.
Im from india so i dont get the ota here.
What i wanted to ask was if i use a proxy changing my ip to USA can i use that to get the official update?
Coz i really just want stock back for a while.
Thanks for ure replies

P. S pac man rom is awesome, but just been on custom roms for a while now and want basic stock back...
Also is rooting an issue with stock kitkat of samsung? Coz if it is, then i might think twice, tho as far as I've read its only the knox counter tripping and i dont care about that
