New firmware being rolled out????? I527 - Samsung Galaxy Mega

I just woke up to my phone downloading a new firmware, can this be the new kitkat firmware? Can I finally fully use my galaxy gear with my galaxy mega 6.3?

When I try to open up the gear manager I receive this pop up. How can It be compatible if its telling me I have to update my firmware to one that doesn't exist?

You can download the app but the new updated app won't play nice with 4.2.2 it has to be 4.3 or higher. We have t gotten the 4.3 or higher update, so far I can get some text notifications and calls that's about it on my galaxy gear that's connected to my Galaxy Mega

Figures. Guess we'll have to wait for 4.3 to get full functionally.
BTW, I don't have the Samsung Apps to get the Gear App. I downloaded Samsung Apps from the Samsung site, installed it, and it's nowhere to be found. lol
*Edit*
I disabled the samsung app previously. Doh! Turned it back on and the was Gear Manager waiting to be downloaded.
Now all we need is 4.3!

Did it actually update?

Same error message received twice during attempts to upgrade; went back to upgrade menu each time and it finally seemed to take but never got a confirmation. Then I checked for updates again and message said I was up to date. Neglected/forgot to write down version prior to update but phone now shows Build # JDDQ39.I527UCUAMH1 but I therefore don't know if this is the original or indeed new firmware.

---

That's the original firmware..updated is JDQ.39 i527UCUAMK2.

Mines is jdq39.i527ucuamk2
