Hey guys. I've been using Note 3 for almost a year now and I am giving my Note 2 to my son. But its still on an old 4.3 AOSP custom ROM right now and want to upgrade it to an official 4.4.2 firmware if there is one.
I look at sammobile and search for SGH-T889 but the latest I can find is 4.3 released on Dec. 2013.
I checked both N7100 and N7105 and they have 4.4.2 available for download.
I entirely forgot already the difference between all these variation so I want to be sure before I Odin something.
Can I use the 4.4.2 FW from any of the 7100 or 7105? If not, can you guys point me to where I can download it?
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the help.
There isn't a firmware update. The T-Mobile model of the Note 2 still hasn't received the update for Kitkat.
Feel free to flash a custom Kitkat ROM on the device though it worn have T-Mobile WiFi calling if you desire that.

Oh I see. I just installed the stock 4.3 FW last night since thats the latest I can find. Can I flash the KK Rom straight over the 4.3 stock?
Thanks for the response.

I wouldn't. The Kitkat ROMs aren't going to be like taking an OTA update and I believe all the TouchWiz Kitkat ROMs are ports from the N7105 model

Now that both Android 4.3 has been released as an OTA update and official Kernel have been posted by Samsung, I am thinking about turning my T-Mobile S4 into the 9505G (until T-Mobile releases the firmware update). I have a few questions:
- Is it safe to install the stock 9505G ROM on the M919? Do I have to worry about basebands/modems? What about the kernel? Will the new stock kernel work?
- When do I find the latest and purest GPE 4.3 ROM? I've been to the 9505G forum, but most stock-based ROMs are either old (not the latest) or have been modified in one way or another? Is there a link to the source?
Thanks in advance.

Since 4.3 just officially dropped. I'm sure by tomorrow allot of the developers who have posted 4.3 leak builds will update there ROMs with the official build. I would just wait till later tomorrow. That way you won't have to worry about flashing something you are not suppose to

Yes you can... I flashed my m919 ROM with a GE OTA and it works just fine.

I wouldn't recommend using a rom with the 4.3 official build. Security settings force quits, and you can't uninstall apps. Stick with one of the leaked 4.3's; I'm personally using VirginROM by mvirginia and it works great.

Any luck with a link for the flashed OTA GE ROM for the M919? I'd also like to try making my T-Mobile S4 into a straight GE version.
Hey guys,
I've got a Galaxy S4 on T-mobile in the UK, with the build XXUEMKF. Its Rooted but its running stock JellyBean 4.3 Ive not taken any OTA updates as im looking to install a safestrapped Custom Rom. Just needed some help to make sure I don't soft brick the phone lol.
Im looking to install the Deadly Venom V3.0.2 KitKat SafeStrapped edition in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45657764&postcount=4
Few noob questions though if anyone could help me..
1) The thread title says its for the AT&T version but Im on t-mobile UK, is this going to be a problem or would it still work without bricking the phone?
2) Its got 2 different install instructions, one for people who have the Mk2 build and another process for people with the Nb1 build. I have neither, I have the MKF build..Can I still install this rom on my S4? If so, should I follow the instructions for the Mk2 Method?
3) Im running Stock JellyBean 4.3 right now, can I still install this safestrapped rom or do I need to do an OTA update to the latest KitKat update? Kies says the latest update I can do is Nb3 apparantly?
I hope someone can give me some simple answers to this, Im quite confused. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys

The model number is GT-i9505. Only reason I want to use a safe strapped rom was to avoid tripping knox because my phones still under warranty
Should I follow the install method 1 instructions as if my device was a mk2 version straight from my stock 4.3?

Ah I see.. Well not sure I don't think many of us here use that method and I'm not familiar with it.. You should try asking in a safestrap thread if there is one on the at&t forums.. Not sure if it would even work with your model, better safe than sorry!

It will flash on your device (it says so in the OP) as for tripping KNOX I would do what serio suggested

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
And im using pac man rom thats why my phone is showing as n7105 but it is i317
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Free mobile app
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

I just got my sister the Note 2, should I update it to KitKat and then root, or root and then update? Any quick tutorials? I haven't done anything for a while so I'm rusty, but I still know enough to flash her phone.
I just don't know where to start.

Ok, are u talking about T-mobile note 2(T889) or Int note 2(n7100)? which model.....?
But since its on this thread, i'll assume its the T889, and no, we dont have any official kitkat update ....yet or never.
U might wanna try some kitkat roms from the n7105 threads or the at&t threads, but u might loose some few features like wifi-calling .
