First i would like to say, Thanks for checking out my post. Now i have a question. I am running freezas rom and i have the nh7 firmware. How do i upgrade this to nk4?
Is it true i have to facyory reset my phone and run the ota update? If so it will not allow me to update, because my device had a custom rom. Also where can i find the nk4 tar file so i can odin it to my note 3?

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.

Or wait for a dev to put out a rooted update. And lollipop is being sent out so maybe wait a little bit.

Currently on Jelly Beans 7 with MDK and using TWRP recovery on my Verizon S4. I've been using this for so long without much desire to update..
Starting to get the urge to update again.
What am I missing staying on mdk 4.2.2?
And if I do decide to upgrade, is TWRP still the recovery of choice?
What's my upgrade path from here? Flash back to stock mdk and take OTA, or move directly to a rooted 4.3 ROM?

Do not take an ota. You have the most desirable build #

I agree. I wouldn't take the OTA. There are 4.3 and 4.4 based ROMs that you can flash. Once you upgrade, you'll be stuck on whatever build Samsung issues (right now, that's 4.3).

You should just flash a 4.3 ROM. Search the android development thread. There's no need to loose your unlocked bootloader.

Just flash a 4.3 ROM like Hyperdrive RLS13... You will be very happy.

MDK doesn't have an unlocked bootloader... They just have an exploit that allows a workaround.
I agree with everyone above. Don't take the OTA. Since you have MDK you also have a custom recovery and can flash many ROMs. There are many flavors on 4.3 and 4.4 available currently. Read about them, the available features, and such. Then decide what you want.
OP: Should I upgrade from MDK??
XDA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fyar4wJ3-Y
We know the bootloader isn't actually unlicked on mdk.... I think that's just lamans terms so people know what they have lol. Seriously no offense to the op at all.... Its just amazing how some people are running custom recoveries and ROMs on MDK s4's and then think of taking ota's
Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk
Just in case OP is confused I want to clarify that MDK is the bootloader. You want to preserve that because it allows the installation of custom recoveries. This is separate from the baseband which may also be labeled MDK. You can always update your Radio baseband without losing root, however you would not want to do this with an OTA. You would want to download this from xda as a flashable zip.

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 was rooted, no SS, on 4.3 and had no issues. Regretfully, I took the NC5 update and have had horrible signal and missed calls ever since. What is the best way for me to downgrade back to 4.3, root or not doesn't matter at this point. Thanks
Surge has a thread in this forum about upgrading to NC5... It also has info and the required files to downgrade to MK2 along with the instructions on how to do so. I did it the other day with no problems. (I didn't stay on MK2 long though, as I upgraded back to NC5 with root)

The issue I was having was that after I did the OTA my signal was garbage. I almost never got 4G and my 3G speeds were slow. After I reflashed the update my 4G is back and my speed is back to normal.
Hi all, I got a couple questions. I'm currently still on 4.3, running a safe-strapped Rom (Galaxy s4, VZW). I'd like to upgrade to KK.
Is the latest firmware available OTA still NC5?
What method will I need to upgrade, OTA or flash stock? Since I'm rooted, is an OTA even an option? I do have SuperSU pro's survival mode (I heard that worked for a couple people). I'm guessing otherwise I'd have to Towel root.
Finally, I assume I should delete the custom ROM slot and factory wipe my stock slot before updating. Will doing a reset affect safe strap, or will it leave it alone?
Thanks!

Thank you for the link, and everything else you've done around here, Bob. I read around a little but I couldn't figure this out: do I have to use Surge's method to upgrade or can I take an alternative route (in guessing Odin) , now that towel root exists?
I'm hesitant only bc I tried to use his downgrade /upgrade methods on a different phone and had some problems. Thanks.

You can't use ROM slots with 3.72 safestrap. ROM must be installed to stock slot. Take and research this info.

I went back to stock using Odin. took update, rooted with towelroot installed Safestrap 3.72 . Then installed custom KK rom. All worked without any issues

I would recommend Odin full wipe tar. This gets your phone 100% stock. It's safe, simple and proven to work.
Watch the videos they help a lot.
I haven't done it the other way!

If you don't care about tripping the knox counter, odin TWRP, and flash SuperSU 2.02. You'll have root.

Problem now is that since your recovery is not regular, not sure how you can grab the updates. I do want 4.4.4 as well

I alreadt took the upgrade. I odined back to stock first.
I also Odin back to stock NC5. Took the update OTA to 4.4.4. I then used ODIN to flash TRWP Recovery and installed SuperSU1.94.
So now I have 4.4.4 and Full Root and SuperSU.
