A noob question...
4.4.2 just arrived for nordic countries. Since I have a custom 4.3 ROM I have to flash the new 4.4.2 with ODIN, that much I understand.
My question is: WHEN there comes a custom ROM made from stock 4.4.2 will I be able to flash that from recovery or do I still have to flash the stock 4.4.2 first?
I want to know if I should be patient or just go for it... I really don´t want to go back to all Note 2 stuff if I know there will be a flashable deodexed, rooted, stock ROM in due time. My current setup is too Note 3-ish to just let go...
Best regards

I got my Note 2 about 6 days ago and was on firmware 4.3 I noticed that the battery was draining very fast so I looked around online and found
4.3 had this problem so I updated the firmware to 4.2.2.After a day or so I got fed up with touchwiz and said screw it im going to root my
phone.so I started getting the note 2 ready to root this went fine I was able to boot up my phone with twrp. So then I made a backup through twrp
just in case I screwed up my phone. I then Flashed CM11 to the phone but it failed so I tried wiping the caches and it failed again. I then try
Booting it up but it is stuck on the Samsung logo. So I turn it off and said no big deal I got the backup I can flash so I try to flash that but it fails to
but after this I notice my Knox security is void.so im wondering is the Knox security causing the problem. Because after I did this I did some
Research and It said that It would void my warranty and it had an efuse? What exactly does this Knox voided warranty mean does it mean my
Is useless can or can I still flash roms to it ? And If so how would I go about doing this because im all out off ideas.
Flash this using Odin to get the phone back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53353625
Then use philz 6.07.09 and not twrp. That's where the problem started.
Thanks

It's really personal preference so you have to flash everything that's out there to see which one you like. I'm a flash a holic so I tend to flash anything new and will change between touchwiz and non-tw ROMs based on my mood that day. Enjoy!
bootloader?
Just one more thing I read somewhere that the Verizon note 2 was the only note 2 with a locked boot loader .If this is not true could you tell me how to unlocked it because I feel like I looked everywhere.
I have not flashed in a while, I have twrp installed and have been running Darth stalker for a while. It's android 4.1.1, so I'm due for an upgrade.
All the newer roms want me to be in v4.3 first, I'm a little lost and confused. Can someone help point me in the right direction?
You only need to have full 4.3 firmware if you are planning to flash a 4.4.2 touchwiz ROM.. Aosp/cm you are good to go. To flash 4.3 firmware just download it from the sticky in development and flash it with Odin. After that, flash your custom recovery of choice (twrp works best in most cases) and flash your ROM
Thank you! I've never been a flash a holic.... didn't want to run the risk of messing something up. Trying to get some new life in my s3, my whole family upgrade on iPhone 6 and I feel a little left out
I have a Sprint L720 running a odexed stock MK2 rom from circa 2013. I followed all the steps back then flashed a custom recovery and the rom for the hotspot capability and am still extremely happy with how it turned out but... I want all those fancy new features lol. I don't really need anyone to hold my hand through the whole process but I did reformat a few times since then and have a couple questions before I start paperweightin' this.
Everything on here is MK2. Software, Baseband & Build. If i wished to flash a newer lolipop rom to my L720 would I need to apply any updates first? Can I flash the new rom from the custom recovery? I attempted to upgrade the firmware through Kies but keep running into a device not recognized error that I suspect is because I'm rooted. Anyway thanks in advance for your time!
(Mod can you please move this to the correct board, I can't find the option to delete this.)
Hi im a newbie and I wast just wondering if anyone knew where I can find the latest firmware update? I have an att note 2 that I flashed back to stock 4.1.1 and then rooted it but im having a hard time flashing all the latest custom roms like they keep failing! So my only guess is that my modem or kernel or baseband or bootloader needs to be updated or something! So my question is is there a way I can keep root and update these and if so how would I go bout doing so? Any answers would be much appreciated!
The simplest, but not fastest, would be to flash back to a completely stock 4.1.1 from and run ota updates until the phone is running 4.4.2.
