Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks so much for the info on this community. I've followed loads of the threads and almost all of what I need to know is here.
I have a KF2 @ v10.3.1. I've rooted it and applied the 2nd bootloader using a homemade lead (thanks to the thread on that!). I started in Windows but switched to Kubuntu after getting driver issues etc.. To compound the problem, the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, which didn't help as I couldn't load apps whist it was stock. (It's not stolen or otherwise illegally obtained. Amazon sent it in error, and despite me contacting them to ask how to return it, they've never replied)
Anyhow, After following THIS thread, which appeared to go OK, after rebooting I'm unable to boot into Recovery. The blue screen just stays there. I can still boot normally, but I would like to load CM10 which is loaded as per the thread, along with gapps, both in zip format. I have read many threads about being stuck on the blue screen, but these are always locked and need to be restored, but I have no problem booting normally and the KF2 is not locked. I've searched this site and googled plenty.
I don't expect an exact answer, but if someone could just point me at what to look at, I'm sure I can find the rest of the info I need on here. :good:
Oh, also. Another quick question. I see that the CM10 images are constantly being updated, if (when I get mine working) I want to use one of these, is it simply a case of copying the zip file over? Or is there more to do than that.
Many thanks in advance.
You can boot normally? Into stock, I assume.
Run the apk tool from here:

Should get you fixed right up
The zip file will have to be flashed from recovery. So, its a matter of copying the zip file (and gapps) over. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. Then flash rom first, the gapps.
Also, be VERY CAREFUL and make sure you have a GOOD DOWNLOAD by checking the md5 on the file. If you wipe the system (which deletes the stack file) you will not be able to boot into recovery or anything.
I still recommend that you purchase a fastboot cable.
Edit: also, when booting into recovery you might have to hit the power button a couple of times.

Cheers mindmajick. I've tried to do this but still having a few problems.
If I use the wired version, the runme.bat does not have permissions to the data/app folder. I can't seem to run it in Kubuntu as it says I can't run a binary file if I make it executable, but says I don't have permission if I remove execute. (I'm looking into this - but I'm not very good with Linux, so lots of Googling!!...lol....) Also I see that there are some issues with this version with the wireless version being favored. Unfortunately as I'm unable to log onto my Amazon account, I can't use this method.
I will continue to try, I'm almost there now, thanks for you help so far.

I'm still unsure how to run the runme.sh from Kubuntu command line.
I tried - ./runme.sh
but error is - unable to run a binary file - or something like that.
I'm unable to use the cordless version com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk due to the fact that as the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, I'm unable to log in and download or install .apk files.
Is there is an alternative way to install .apk files without needing to log in?
Hopefully that makes a little more sense. Cheers
Yes. Download the fmkilo apk from his thread, (use the browser if you have to) then once downloaded pull down the notification bar and tap on the apk link. Also, make sure that the option to install from unknown sources is set in the settings before doing the download
You could alternatively push the file via adb to the system Directory.
Is USB debugging enabled? Are you rooted?

Yup, that did it. I had overlooked the fact that I was still able to use the browser on the KF2 and didn't really know you could install .apk's using that method anyway. So now I have carried on and installed Jellybean 4.2.2 on there and it works a treat.
Thank you ever so much Mindmajick for taking an interest in my problem, I really do appreciate yours and the rest of the developers time on here. :good:

Not a problem: Thanks
I think this is a method of pushing the flash and image files to the tablet and then installing using ADB by the way it is described.
I think I have that method copied down some place else.
I have never used this method but, sounds like it would work.
I also presume you need root to do the install via ADB.

it is definitely there from what i can tell. It's named update.zip, it was modified today, and it is 614MB
maybe it wont let me grab it because the phone is on? should i power off and grab it via usb cable? currently trying to modify it via Root File Manager App.

Is it giving you any kind of error? Since it's Write only, you'll probably have to change the permissions to be able to copy it from the cache folder. You should be able to do it with Root File Manager. I know I can with Root Explorer.

well root file manager says it was read/write for the owner so i changed the permissions to read/write for all users. then i attempted to rename it to 1update.zip.....and then the file disappeared.

i created a 0byte file named update.zip in the cache folder and rebooted, and now it is telling me it is ok to install. (my battle level is below 50% so it wont let me). so i cured the modified error. but the actual download is still MIA. says device status is normal. it was probably kicking that error because it couldnt find the update.zip since i somehow renamed it and it decided to play Where's Waldo.

I tried to install the flashable zip with TWRP but it failed.
Then I pushed the unzipped file you uploaded first via ADB.
The process was finished without error but the timestamp of the file remained the same, 08dec, while yours is 10dec.
Nevertheless I tried the update to 4.4.2 via sideload again, and it failed again with the same error message, something like "system/bin/debuggerd has unexpected content".
Could you update to 4.4.2 with your debuggerd file?

Was the device in recovery mode or booted normally when you tried the adb push? If in recovery, was /system mounted? What was the failure in TWRP with the debuggerd flashable file and what's the exact filename of the 4.4.2 update file you're using? That'll tell me the exact version of debuggerd you'll need to pass the checksum validation.

I did all this with the Nexus Root Toolkit made by Wugfresh.
The device booted normally when the adb push took place.
I added two screenshots, one of the zip install and the other one of the update.
The 4.4.2 update file is from the also failed OTA update which I found in the cache folder and then saved.
The filename:
f221553ab745f4671e2c2f6a2cb0e4bf857886ea.signed-razorg-KOT49H-from-KRT16S.f221553a.zip

SUCCESS!!!
Everything worked perfectly, installation of the zip file took about one second, the sideload update a little bit longer
Thank you very much again for your help !!!
I know most of you already know this, but it may help others because this is very usefull for installing kitkat.
It's a pain to copy an 1,2 GB ROM to internal storage, so sideloading (installing from PC) it's lot easier and faster.
So here's the trick.
Copy the zip you want to install in "adb" folder (archiev attached)
Reboot phone in recovery mode
Optional - do your wipes
If you have CMW
Go to install zip -> install zip from sideload
If you have TWRP
Go to advanced -> ADB sideload
connect the USB cable and run START.cmd
type "adb devices" to check if your phone is recognized and connected (skip if you know everything it's ok)
type "adb sideload kitkat.zip" (replace kitkat with zip's name)
Notes:
Ofc you need USB drivers
Ive tried that a couple times but always i get a "cannot read kitkat.zip" thing, any idea why?

First, there is no way for a rom to use ".rar" extension. After, error means that the file couldn't be read (missing or corrupted). Also you may try my method which doesn't need android SDK, so there is no complications with wrong paths or such.

It looks to me that your screenshot is showing contents of a ZIP inside a RAR. What @roscatel means, you should extract the ZIP from the RAR that you downloaded -- it's actually an archive packed inside another archive. After that, flash the ZIP you just extracted using any method (sideload, or from recovery as usual). Do NOT rename RAR to ZIP -- it doesn't make sense, and will most definitely NOT work.

ADB sideload only update S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6. 1.41 GB file seems to me like nougat update.
Nougat Update Here S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6
MD5 checksum : 903aa5c5f26f430133481c4a2cfcdb69
Thanks for ABD instruction @ColoMtn
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5
8. Navigate to the directory that contains the update ‘SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip’
*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat
EDIT: Please post mirrors if you can. Thanks
For who may need it this is S4CQA1 to U4QC6 update. File is around 1.5 GB and MD5 is 23d4d4c58330b618001e76fc468732d9

*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC5.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat
EDIT: Please post mirrors if you can. Thanks

On what firmware currently are you? This update is only from baseband N920AUCS4CQB2. Also you may have corrupted recovery. To fix this you have to ODIN back to latest firmware and try again.
Anyway just in case i'm uploading raw file w/o .zip extension to another place.
