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 .

So I did! Works flawless. Check the included pic. Everybody in both forums act like oh stay in your forums don't try it. We should all work together to better the community as a whole. I can confirm all works well, not a single issue.
ummm you obviously have an att s3 it says i747 in your pic. so why would it be a problem for you to flash a att rom? lol
i don't get the point of your post..

I obviously have a tmo T999 check the baseband, you might notice it is a LH2 I believe. Just trying to open doors for people for more options to flash is the point of the thread and hopefully bring some cross development to both forums.
wtf.. didn't know it would change your model number description.. anyways what rom is it?
Yeah I knew it would change my build prop, but had no idea the kernel would work. The Rom is sweet and it is listed at the bottom of the pic(not sure how to spell it) Love the options this might open up. Just understand, it will be unsupported, so you have to be able to trouble shoot it if any issues arise(none as of 3+ hours)
At&t MIUI Rom works too.

Need Help Doing this.
I am new to this Android world. I came from AppleLand. I got T-mobile branded Galaxy S3 witch is SIM unlocked and currently using it with AT&T. I would like to flash AT&T rom on this t-mo Galaxy S3. I have no clue where to start and how to do it. I read on this forum that flash counter is may be a problem if I flash non stock ROM. My question is
1. Is it possible to flash ATT rom on T-Mo galaxy S3?
2. That counter thing is going to be a problem?
3. Is my phone has to be ROOTED first?
4. All AT&T apps will work?
5. If there is any problem, Can I go back to T-Mobile rom?
Thanks.

My question to you is what for you do before flashing or did you just do the regular wipe cache and data factory reset? Also what recovery are you using?? Im on TWRP will that be an issue or should I go back to clockwork??

Can't wait to get some good MIUI ROMs on this phone, has anyone with a T999V tried flashing AT&T ROMs yet?
Just an update, I have flashed a working Sprint Rom, I had to edit the apn before flashing(if you don't know how to and what this is, don't do it you will not have data) but the Rom runs great. The Verizon Roms want to verify you are on Verizon, so I am working on it. So I have run AT&T and Sprint Roms with success with working data.
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

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

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

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
You can flash from 4.3. I'm on MK5 bootloader t mobile and I just clean flashed with no problems so far

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!

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
