The carrier is the one who pushes the update to the phone. If your using it with another provider you'll have to flash the phone with the updated firmware yourself.

I have my phone flashed to another carrier also running 4.4.2 NABD. You should be fine to Odin the NAB tar file, but might have to flash the Mj4 modem afterwards. On the NABD modem, it kept trying to read from the sim card (NAB may be ok). The MJ4 modem works fine with 4.4.2 and everything works as it should now. Make sure you back up everything first.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or not but I came across this method through Google. It worked for my Verizon Note 2 with the OTA 4.3 update. I also used Foxfi until the update. With Titanium Backup, I froze the KNOX security and Foxfi works again without asking to contact VZW. Thanks to the Devs who are responsible for this method. I hope it is ok that I shared the link.

This is the case for me. I just needed root for Titanium backup primarily.
At least people will know there is a way to root it. Hopefully one of the devs will figure out how to unlock the new boot loader.

I don't think that downgrading is possible without tripping the KNOX security counter. As far as the s4, this root version should root the phone, and I believe that I have read somewhere about a safestrap app thst allows you to flash roms and such.

I have had no success with this method as yet. I run the script, and it seems to run fine, then after it's rebooted, when it says to run SuperSU, and let it update if it asks, the update always fails. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Found a way around it?

And once rooted, it won't download. I even tried unrooting and that didn't work. Wifi calling will be key for me, so I may have to install the official download and go without root.

You could just flash a 4.4.2 ROM. Unless you like touchwiz.

The prior update activated all the LTE radios in the Mega (3 I think). This update may have tweaked that code for performance and/or connectivity.
Has anyone noticed LTE data connection errors with NA7? I am going to try and flash back to MK1 because i have had no LTE data after upgrading to NA7 ... ive flashed NA7 3 times now and done several ##RTN#s still no luck
keep getting the error "unable to establish mobile data connection ESM - x EMM - 15"
I got LTE with 2 bars in my area when I didn't have it before the update. Doesn't work with kingo root either. Continues to say "NeedRoot". Hell, the phone seems slower too.

How do you revert back to MK1? I've been searching for the tar file but I can't find it anywhere
For those who want root on updated firmware download an app called"ota root keeper" from the play store run it (while on MK1) then ota the update.

If you factory reset, then odin the nk4 update, you will be on official firmware. Odin will over-write your old system, giving you official status. This is how we all go from rooted roms to official in order to get updates.

I have the Metropcs branded version of this, I updated it to the newest metro, and t mobile to test it out, I tried to go back to the baseband I started with, which was 4.4.2 and it would not, odin said it passed but it just started freezing at the samsung logo, I odin back to ob1 and it went right to it no problem.
