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
Here, you will need to odin to 4.4 stock (upgrade bootloader), then flash it. Follow this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393

My apologies if this is off topic, it is still within the bootloader question.
How do I check what bootloader I am using in my phone?

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

how is the latest kitkat for note 2? im on 4.1.2 is it worth the upgrade? if so which version? thanks
What? You Need to be more descriptive. The Note 2 doesn't have official Kit Kat so im assuming you mean AOSP or CM based? If that's what you are looking for best thing to do is flash away or read the ROM thread. Latest official update is 4.3 not 4.4...
Ps: The title should have some correlation to the question at hand.

There is no "best rom" you just continue to flash until you find one you like and THAT is the "best rom" out there

Look in the Original Android Dev section. Pick a ROM and read the flashing instructions on their OP. Then you will have your 4.4 rom. Just know its not official. Its AOSP or CM based.

And "don't" take the official update to 4.3...
It "will" lock your bootloader...and void your warranty if you root the official 4.3...
If you don't care about warranty...then upgrader beware....g

Anytime you fool with your phone beyond using stock tools and apps you void your warranty.
I need to know what the difference is between 4.3 and 4.4. How do i upgrade to it? Do i need to do it to run kitkat roms?
I have flashed about 4 kitkat roms and they all have issues. Like freezing and rebooting. I think maybe because i am on the 4.3 bootloader.
I just dont fully understand this stuff yet.

So i found this post but i still dont fully understand it. So if i flash a kitkat rom and a new kernel does that automatically upgrade my bootloader to 4.4? Currently out of all the kitkat kernels only 2 of them will boot my phone all others i just get stuck on the samsung logo. Including the stock kernel.

Please search the Development thread. TEKHD had made a very easy step-by-step guide on how to upgrade.
Guys ive looked in the threads... and ive googled it but all the links I got are dead... I want to upgrade to kik kat im on 4.3 still but want to try the new roms... Is anyone here have a copy of the kit kat firmware? It can be a zip or the tar file to flash with odin... I wont get the ota because im rooted and I dont feel like going back to stock... please and thanks in Advance!!

You don't need the firmware. Just flash a KK rom and the NB4 modem. You are rooted already.
If you flash the stock KK firmware it will trip the Knox counter

If you need kitkat modem go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51017878
You can't kitkat with 4.3 modem, do kitkat modem before you flash anything else.

Acually you can keep the 4.3 modem on KK. But, it may affect sound. I switch back and fourth myself...

Look up the changes between jellybean and kitkat, not all apply here for example ART, but most do.. You may not even see a reason to update.. 4.3 is just as good, some like it even better, really its down to personal choice

im on the 4.3 modem and bootloader i want to flash those files only so they will be up to date.
You don't really need the bootloader. Upgrading to NB4 is your option

Some people get better date speeds, while others don't. You can flash it and find out. You can always revert back to MK2

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.
