[Q] Question on the new kitkat update - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

As many of you know, the at&t 4.4.2 firmware came out today. WHICH, leads me to me question.
I am rooted and have the at&t no-knox Rom installed. This rom is close to stock, except it just doesn't have knox.
Can i update to 4.4.2 through this rom or will i get some sort of error.

I was on stock rooted 4.3 and flashed a custom kit Kat ROM just fine.

I was unaware that 4.4.2 kk was coming to the s3. I have another s3 coming in the mail tomorrow. Its on 4.3. I will root it, remove Knox, and update to the new 4.4.2 and let you know how it goes

Do you know if I would be able to update? I'm on 4.3 stock and I have clockwork flashed too.

Well I tried to update from 4.3 rooted with Knox removed and it failed. Keep in mind though...the phone has been jtagged and had the iemi fixed. Don't know if that's the issue or not. It would not update...the install failed every time. Although the phone still works fine....just stuck on 4.3. So...it won't hurt your phone if it fails.

T999v if it was like that on stock. That is the base firmware and the one that you need to upgrade your boot loader with. Caution however, flash the wrong one and you will have problems.
Make a nandroid, run the boot loader backup script and then flash the T999v boot loader that's your best bet.
Below, Aerowinder makes a great point. Check that before moving on and be sure to thank him.

Pull the battery on your phone, and check underneath for the real model number. Flash appropriate bootloader.
Wich one should i take the with the modem or the other one without it?

[Q] Need Help With Recovery

I have the Samsung galaxy S4 with Metro PCS (SGH-M919N) I put the OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3 on my phone but im not able to update OTA. but all i want to know is how do i get the stock recovery hack on my device.
You won't be able to get the updates if you are rooted.
What I would do is flash a stock based rom.
Then it will get updated by the rom creator when updates are updated.

[Q] KitKat Help please :)

I'm Rooted on 4.3 with CWM now I wanna go to 4.4.2 with the new modem so what the best way for me to do this without loosing anything? & with that unlimited tethering mod do I just flash that?
I'd flash the modem this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678774
Then pick a 4.4.2 ROM from the developers section.

On page one of the modem thread somebody says:
"This can also be flashed if you are running a non-stock kitkat rom with the MK2 bootloader and want to try your luck with the new kitkat modem (gsm). Unless I'm missing something."

Have you considered using Odin to flash the stock 4.3 image, and then taking the update and then rooting etc.?

[HELP THREAD] Galaxy Note 2 AT&T Stuck in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"

[HELP THREAD] Galaxy Note 2 AT&T Stuck in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
I am in really deep doo doo right now. I was trying to root my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-i317) and about halfway through my pc screen turns off and when I turned it back on, Odin said FAIL so when I rebooted my phone it got stuck into the firmware upgrade issue crap.
So I do as it tells me and open Kies and try to start Recovery mode but it just keeps saying "Connecting" and never connects
Now I look online for help and then try to update with Kies
Guess What:
No Help
So then I try to get the firmware .md5 for it but since I'm at 4.4.2 right now, and there's no 4.4.2 firmware available (as far as i know) I can't downgrade.
So now I am stuck here with a useless phone begging for help.
So PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I realize there may be other threads like this ( that's where I looked for help) but I really need help and I am super desperate for it

Ok so now the same problem happened again but instead I tried to flash stock firmware and it failed, no matter which firmware I downloaded they all failed. So I used the file you gave me and It worked....sorta. It boots up and gets to the AT&T logo then stops there. I cleared cache and data and even reflashed but it still just gets stuck there. I can get to recovery but i can't get on to my actual OS. You are a miracle worker from the last one so I am hoping you can do the same with this one!
