You will have to use this method to restore back to MJ5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715 .
And then you will have 2 OTA's to install. First is a minor update, and the second is Kitkat (NC2).
WARNING : If you update to NC2 (Kitkat) via OTA it will lock your bootloader down more. You will not be able to restore back to MJ5, and as of right now there is no root available.

So I've been sitting on 4.1.2 and 1.29 Software for a while because I didn't wanted to tamper with my root. Recently decided to update, but I want to install the Custom Rom from Hawknest:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496069
My main question is do I need to update to 4.3(Or 4.4?) before flashing in Ecliptic on TWRP or can I skip that part and simply flash in the Rom?
If I have to update, how do I update manually? Updating over the air sends me to TWRP after installing and I'm guessing this is because installing from OTA will get me unrooted. Finally, how do I know which is the correct ROM for me, he has KitKat and JellyBean as downloadables so I am uncertain. I'm guessing JellyBean, but I would like to get KitKat if possible.
My phone has:
Software 1.29.651.10
Firmware 4.1.2
HTCSense 5.0
I'm S-On on TWRP 2.6
Well what i did yesterday was go to Ecliptic kitkat from 4.1.2 just did bootloader and s_off rooted and install rexovery in rexovery did 3 full wipes (just in case) flash kitkat then the lastest modem for our sprint one niw im good and rolling

all the questions you have can be answered with bd19 frequently asked in q&a its very resourceful! also make sure you understand the file structure change after 4.1 or can have storage issues, also in q&a. imo getting s-off before doing anything would be a good starting point. good luck!
If I'm not mistaken you're also going to need to update your touch firmware as well

MLG is not official. NC2 is the official kitkat.
Restore your phone to MJ5(if your on MLG only), root, install safesrap, then upgrade with odin to Dyamic Kat or Undriod kitkat that already has root, install safestrap.

Sorry for the noob-ness of this question. I just went to the DynamicKat (3.0 NC2 version) thread and read the OP.
The OP makes it look like you need to use SafeStrap to flash this... Above, you referenced ODIN. I'm very confused.
I'm getting a warranty replacement Note3 this morning in the mail and, assuming it comes with 4.3, I'm NOT taking the NC2 OTA. I'm really wanting to get rooted KK.
Any advice or guidance you can further provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
If you get a 4.3 device you will need to root it, then use Odin, then install safestrap.
Here's an example.

Thank you very much! I appreciate the help.
Fingers are crossed that my device comes with 4.3
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537 on version 4.3 with baseband version I537UCUAMF1 and build JSS15J.I537UCUBML2. I had rooted it with saferoot. I still have a couple of months left on my warranty.
I want to to upgrade to the latest kitkat version but am unsure which route to take.
Any help?
What I did was reflash the stock 4.3 and then I just took the update via Wi-Fi (it did take about 40 mins for the update to download and reboot) Then I rooted with towelroot. Easy as pie.

Given my baseband and build version which stock version of 4.3 should I reflash to?
Would reflashing remove evidence of previous root?

There's only one version of ML2, and reflashing the ML2 Odin package will completely wipe your phone.
Ok. I flashed the Stock 4.3 with ODIN and since I don't have a AT&T SIM card, I did the SD Card Recovery Mode update and everything is well.
Thanks!
I'm on xtremekat rooted with safestrap. If I flash the 4.2 firmware will I be able to get the ota or will my phone remain rooted after flashing the firmware? Thanks!

After downgrade to NCE 4.4.2, you have to OTA to NG3, OA1, and finally OC4 (5.0). You will lose root, and if you accept the 5.0 OTA you will not be able to root or downgrade anymore. Use this method to update to 5.0 and keep root,

Have you changed the recovery?
To update officially you need to be on stock recovery

Better whole stock ROM. Even after an unroot you'll never know what apps like kingoroot have changed in the system.
Flash complete stock ROM or better forget the ota and flash stock MM directly.
