I'm new to Samsung , coming from lg and HTC. I saw in some threads that 4.3 boot loader is needed, however I searched and couldn't find a thread dedicated to this topic. My phone has taken the 4.3 ota, right now its just stocked, I hope to have root, a working recovery and run the ezkat touchwiz 4.4.2 rom. Please point me in the right direction

Alright thanks. What about 4.3 boot loader ? I'm also interested in the 4.3 DN3 rom, it says on OP that 4.3 boot loader is recommended

I can confirm it does not work on CleanRom ACE 5.0. Since the Note 2 is an officially supported device, I would really appreciate it if someone could post a link to a rooted version of the most up-to-date stock rom for ATT.

The most up to date stock rom is the official 4.1.2. There is a leak of 4.3 stock rom out as well. The 4.3 att mj4 leak is in the general section under design gears thread mj4 post 226 one click. This is stock but you will need to root it and it will erase all data to flash.

I have tried to flash several 4.3 roms with the newest version of TWRP

I haven't had any success. I am afraid to take a chance on a pure stock rock. I suspect I would lose root. I don't want to go through all that again. I will just ship the ptv3000 back. It doesn't work well with my Nexus 7 2013 either. It won't pass thru dts audio and has black bars on the top, bottom and both sides.

Not everyone is looking at YOUR question. Have some respect/patience. There are threads guiding how to flash a different firmware version all over the net using Odin, in the hour you waited for a response, you could have easily used Google to find your solution.
Now you may have an issue about Knox, but since you are going from 4.4 to 4.3 (both a knox bootloader) i don't think there will be any issues.
If you have a custom recovery, just flash a 4.3 ROM
If not, use Odin to flash the 4.3 official firmware package.
With the information i provided you, you should easily be able to achieve what you need to do via Google search.

Are you sure the 4.4 to 4.3 thing works? I've been using 4.2 on my S4 (I9500) all along, and recently upgraded to 4.4. I strongly dislike KitKat and would ideally like to go back to 4.2, but if there's no way of doing so, 4.3 would be fine.

I have not tried it myself. It was just speculation since they are both knox bootloaders. The worst that will happen is Odin will say it failed OR your Knox will be tripped (which i see highly unlikely as knox detects changes from what "should" be there)
Samy you s*****

Thanks for the help. There were some people who said that it's impossible to go back to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 and some that said you can't even go back to 4.3, but then others that said it is possible. I tried a number of different ROMs and they didn't boot at all. Then I tried Omega ROM v14.1 (Android 4.2.2), and that works brilliantly now.
Here's the thread for it from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887. Only seems to be for Samsung Galaxy devices at this point.
It is an unbloated TW ROM (actually allows you to choose which Google and Samsung apps to install during a custom install process that begins when you flash it). It's faster than all my previous versions of Android, and obviously takes up less space.
Annoying that not everything works and that it took such a long time to get a successful installation, but at least I've found a ROM that has what I was looking for.

Yup but that is a custom ROM and with proper recovery you can go down to 4.2.2 but when we speak of Stock Samy Firmware and Odin it is imposible i have tested it. And Omega is great but still Custom hehehehe

Oh yeah, I became aware of that very early on during my search. All the ROMs I've been trying to get working have been custom and Omega is the only one that's actually booted.
I'm just glad I found something that looks like my old TW 4.2.2. Don't really mind whether or not it's custom. It is a shame that you can't go back to older official Samsung firmware once you've updated though. What do you think the reason for that is?
Samsung's "control" issue
I've been having this problems before and that is that no kitkat ROM's camera works in my t999 phone, I was in 4.1.1 bootloader before but upgraded to 4.3 bootloader using Mr Robinson's prerooted firmware but still when I installed any kitkat custom ROM, I still get the cannot connect to camera error. the camera works fine in the stock prerooted firmware. plz I really want to use these kitkat ROMs and also want to camera to be functional. any permanent solution will be appreciated.

I guess am only left with the options of using only stock based t999 ROMs. I'll have to say bye bye to aoksp and cm ROMs.
Check the cm threads and ask there when you get up to 10 posts. A lot of people who might be familiar with it probably dont bother looking at anything but their roms thread.

So I would think u can downgrade but if you do I think u have to flash stock ROM through Odin but I could be wrong because of bootloaders and other stuff
Second question I can't answer I think u would have to get the stock 442 ROM that has it I don't know not got alot of knowledge with downgrading

I have personally booted 4.1.2 on my 210R after upgrading to 4.4.2. I just restored a TWRP backup I had made, and it still worked with the KitKat bootloader.
I have rooted and flashed the original stock ROM to a 4.1.2 custom ROM few years ago.
Now I am trying to upgrade to the latest 4.4, e.g. the DN4-V2.2 ROM. However, after flashing it in TWRP, I became stuck at the Samsung boot logo and black screen.
My question is, do I need to upgrade to 4.2, 4.3 then I can try 4.4 ROMs? What is the best approach to go about this?
Also, I am seeing certain "Kernels" and "bootloaders" as prerequisites for 4.4. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to my 4.1.2 Note 2 in order to try the 4.4 ROMs? Thanks.

Hit up the folks over in the DN4 thread. .
Flashing that build requires a few tricks that are posted in the OP of the thread.
If you still have issues. ..post in the QA thread for the rom...and they will help you out. .
I don't run DN roms so I'm sorry for not being more help to you. ..g
