[Q] difference between 2 kitkat version.

Hi everyone, I am a user of this forum, I would want to ask ccouple questions about the new version of the android 4.4.2 and hope somebody could help me out,thanks!
Q1:What is the different between the modelN900AUCUCMLG and the offical Att model which just released?
Q2: If I did updated theN900AUCUCMLG model before,how could I change it from this to the Att offical version?
Thank you very much,I appreciate it.thanks

MLG is the leak.
The official is more refined, less bugs, etc.
There are methods detailed in the NC2 discussion thread.

Please go to the official kitkat discussion thread located in the general section. I suggest you start reading on page 10.
There is a ton of information you will need to know.

SM-N9005 firmware

Has anyone ever tried flashing the international version nc2 firmware on to their SM-N900A? If so did the phone work? Or did it brick? I'm just curious. Was thinking of doing this but, I don't want to brick my phone. Don't care if I trip knox.

Stock firmware will screw your phone. Only use a custom ported ROM.
Why would you want to flash the stock international firmware anyways.

I've always found the international versions to run games and apps so much more smoother ever since the captivate days. I like to play games and run a lot of apps on my phone and for some reason international versions always out performs the at&t bloated crap.

So what if I would use a kernel for the n9005 to get custom recovery. Would that screw up my phone aswell?

Yes. Locked bootloaders. If you were able to successfully flash it (you wouldn't) it would brick. You would need to unlock the bootloaders (can't be done at this time) to be able to flash a different kernel.
If any of this were possible (it's not) we would not be having a problem.

Basically... There is a lot more than just flashing required to make stuff work. The code has to be modified to run on our device, as well as bootloaders being signed and locked to each phone.

Thanks graydiggy for your help. If that's the case I would rather just use all these nice ROMs that all these fine devs have prepared for us. Also what tutorial would you recommend to learn how to port ROMs to our device? I've been wanting to learn this for a long while now.

I have no idea about tutorials for software...
But this is a good place to start http://xda-university.com
I'm more into hardware mods than anything.

Yes. If you put an at&t simcard into your phone as long as it's the SM-N900A you should be able to update to 4.4.2.

If you install 4.4.2 you won't be able to root or anything else for that matter. If you really want to update to 4.4.2 don't worry. It won't erase anything on your phone.

Upgrade to mlg kitkat instead of the official kitkat there are some good roms for mlg and you can go back to jb if you want .
