[Q] Going back to Note 2 Stock rom ?

Hi,
I have had my note 3 for a while now and am selling my Note 2 so i want to flash the most stable stock rom for UK as i dont want the new owner to have any problems with the phone. Any advise ? What rom should i go for ?
I have been using the 4.3 roms with Note 3 mods and also flashed the newest bootloader to make the 4.3 wifi work so now i am wondering if i am able to go back to 4.1 or 4.2 stock roms without any issues ?
Or if the above is impossible then is there any rom i can flash that don't have any kind of FC's what so ever ?
EDIT: nvm i figured it out. SOLVED

If you already updated the bootloader i think you will be not able to use a rom that is older than the 4.3, but to be sure just ask someone more expert than me

[Q] Out-of-date build, pls help me update safely?

My phone is horribly out of date and I want to catch it up. I got lazy and haven't followed through on planned updates, and now I'm running into a lot of weirdness and crashes. I would dearly appreciate some help.
I'm still in 4.1.1, but want to get something more current, but the last stock recovery I can find is 4.2 (T889UVBMD1), and I'm not sure I'll find the right thing if I dig through the 50 pages of thread.
SGH-T889
baseband T889UVALJ1
kernel 3.031-260018
build number JRO03C.T889UVALJ1
I do want to preserve my root, if at all possible.
Thanks for helping me get started!

Update from Stock rooted Kit Kat to stock rooted Lollipop

Hey! I'm new to the Note 3 community. I bought it recently after getting fed up with the battery life on my Nexus 5. I bought it from Swappa with stock rooted 4.4.2. I did lots of flashing and modding on my Nexus and I had an old Samsung (DROID Charge) as my first phone so I've used ODIN a little but I haven't done any rooting/ROMing on my Note yet.
I'm excited to put Lollipop on my phone but I love WiFi calling so I've been waiting for the Official update. What is the process like to get me from stock rooted KK to stock rooted Lollipop? Should I wait for a stock rooted ROM to be posted so I can flash it? Or should I unroot then update OTA then reroot? Is it better to do a factory reset? As much detail as possible for a Samsung noob would be very appreciated! Thanks.

Grab a soda, maybe a snack, and have a seat. It can be anywhere from a few hours to a few days...to even a few weeks for someone to gain full root to Lollipop.
Just keep checking back to see when someone has it rooted. In the mean time, enjoy rooted KK and try out some of the ROMs. I'm part of the Tweaked family but some of the other ROMs are very good as well.
Lastly, WELCOME TO THE NOTE 3 COMMUNITY!!

[Q] SGH-I317 upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.4?

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

where do I find a clean NJ5 kitkat thats also rooted to put on my dev note 4?

Im getting one later today that has rooted Morom 6.5 Android 5.0 up there already on the galaxy note 4 verizon developer edition, can someone point me to the right direct or advice where i can downgrade it?
I love kitkat, and i dont want no lolipop , if someone can point where i can just put a clean NJ5 KITKAT firmware thats already rooted, or if anyone can recommend me a CM ( CM roms used to be my favorite in s3 and 4 days.. cleanest roms ever) or something thats actually kitkat but no bloatware etc and runs smoothly/faster near stock android.
sorry if this been asnwered before but all i can find is lolipop all over the note 4, and there is a high chance im blind! lol
