sorry i haven't been following this Forum for a while now...
are we still stuck with MF1 on a SGH-I537 or has there been any ways to upgrade / install new roms
There is a leaked 4.3 Mi2 with WiFi issues as well as other issues. There is an official 4.3ML2 which works great and will allow you to update to 4.4.x whenever that happens.

Hello there fellow XDA peeps. I figured out the way to root the OFFICIAL OTA 4.3 Update. Build Number UCUBML2.
1. Download the the following file http://www.mediafire.com/download/x4n952wzyr3eobd/pwnedkernel.tar.md5 and flash it with odin under PDA. I pulled the boot.img from the 4.3 leak and as we all know it is vulnerable to saferoot and other root method around.
2. After phone reboots enable USB debugging mode try using saferoot or Vroot..google it... it will work .
3. Because this is an older kernel, wifi and some other stuff dont work but dont panic. Flash the next file https://www.mediafire.com/?08j1wqn0x7igjq0 with odin under PDA . This is the stock ML2 kernel.
4. After phone reboots launch Supersu and allow the binary to get updated. Also disable that pesky Knox :laugh:
5 .???
6. Profit. Enjoy your rooted apps and safestrap :good::good:
P.S. I have the 4.2.2 modem because I had to repair the imei of the phone..but just ignore it. and again enjoy
Credits to all the people that came up with the kernel exploits like Saferoot etc.
confirmed root access for 4.3 OTA Ml2 worked perfect .. thank you man you are amazing

I see some mention of this as a solution, although it look some it's only for those that downgraded to NB5.
.I am trying to understand what would happen if AT&T or BB try to image an older ROM on to the 4.4 leak that some of us are RUNNING, including me.
Assuming AT&T / BB agree to try, has anyone had success this way?

he is not talking about custom roms but a stock image a att service center or best buy can do it and will
I took my Note 3 in to BB yesterday. I'm running the Leaked MLG 4.4.2.
The Samsung dudes were unable to get NB4 to load over the leak.
My BB didn't even have the NC2 (official KK release) in their system yet.
Going to try a different BB tomorrow.

i had the same issue.i restored to mj5 by following the post here at xda then had bb reflash to nb4. no probs updating to kk via ota.
ATT rep told me that if they attempt to restore a 4.3 image over KK it will brick the phone so they won't do it.
Because my phone wouldn't boot when I brought it in they couldn't confirm the OS version. I had to sign a waiver acknowledging my phone might become a brick and releasing them of liability before they would agree to restore my phone.

there is a working method to get the official OTA to update on your phone, Miata just posted a thread about how to do this after restoring to MJ5 and taking the NB4 updated.
he has a file that you flash and after that the OTA update should not fail anymore. Yall should try it out instead of waiting on BB or Att to do something that you can do.
So the AT&T Note 3s just got a 4.4.2 KitKat update, but I am currently rooted and want to unroot, so I need the stock 4.4.2 firmware files. Does anyone know if these are available yet and if not, how long it usually takes for it to be released? I'm a noob here and rooting and unrooting my Nexus 5 was far easier, so please excuse me if I'm asking some dumb questions.
Thanks

Please read the official KK release thread located in the general section. There is a ton of information you will need to know.

I cant seem to find the mf3 full odin tar to load stock on the active exactly as it would if I updated it from pure stock mf1. I found this but this is mf1 and i didn't think those things are downgradable. the reason is is i have corrupted my system and things are going bad fast i just wanna start over fresh.

Are you on an att device? If so There is no mf3 for us. Its either 4.2.2 mf1 which locks you out of future OTAs and there is also 4.3 ML2 which is rootable and you will be able to receive 4.4 ota if it is ever made available to us. Choose wisely my friend.

yeah. is 4.2.2 mf1 rootable? can any of these install custom roms or safestrap 4.4 roms?
4.2.2,is probably your best bet for now. Safestrap is fully functional on mf1. Some users are unable to create ROM slots on 4.3 so maybe wait till safestrap is fixed then update to 4.3

That OneClick saved my life. Thanks a million.
My buddy got a note 3 with jb firmware. We decided to software update it. We were successful with one update. This one....see pic. Well now we are trying to upgrade it to the kk update. But we are stuck with message see the other pic attached. It's been stuck on this for a good hour. Any suggestions?
Second pic.......
If you plan to root the phone, you want to update to a leaked version of kitkat
DK 4.1, GPE Orange, Xposed, xgel, and other great extras
Ok. Well we updated to that version u see right there. How do I go about updating to a leaked version?
