I was wondering if it would work to flash the new JB OTA via Safestrap over my ICS which is on ROM Slot 1
Pimped out RAZR M

I recently upgraded to the OTA 4.3. I want to flash a 4.4 rom. Will I still be able to use " The ULTIMATE All-In-One Root/Flash Guide"?
I am on a stock rom for SM-N900 . Want to upgrade to 4.4 custom ROM.
I've read that there's 2 version of the CWM recovery, one for JB and the other one for KK roms. Should I use the JB version to flash the 4.4 ROM and then odin flash the new 4.4 recovery ?

If you're on JB and would like to upgrade to KK you must first flash KK with odin or OTA if available. Then flash cwm for KK to install custom KK rom.
Hi. I'm I. Stock unrooted T-Mobile OTA jellybean version 10g. Is it easier/ better to let the KK ota install & use autorec or root JB & install custom recovery. Basically I'm asking is either route I choose to go, does it do same thing in the end?
My question is if I update my vzw note 3 on mje 4.3 to kitkat 4.4.2 I will have to use safestrap v3.72 and will have to run kitkat on the stock rom slot but what is I want to flash another rom like cryogenmod or something can I use rom slot 1 or do I use stock rom slot and if so if I save the stock rom under the restore in safestrap can I flash it back to the stock slot when I want to

When you flash the odex or deodexed 4.4.2 leak by Beanstown you will use JB Safestrap. Stable 3.65 is recommended. After you flash the rom and Odin the firmware by following the instructions here.

★ [ROM/ROOT][N900VVRUCNC2][4.4.2] Stock Root Odex/DeOdex [04/23/14]★
Once on 4.4.2 you will use Safestrap v3.72 for flashing roms.
Stock slot is the only thing available right now.
No rom slots can be used yet.
We are not able to flash AOSP roms with a locked bootloader unless you have a DevEd. @nitroglycerine33 is going to have a sweet 4.4.2 AOSP rom out soon but it's using the stock kernel so it's not full AOSP but it's gonna be the next best thing for our Note3.

First, if you have the retail Note 3 you can't use CM11. The only ROM slot that we can use with SS 3.72 on KK is the stock slot for now. If you want to flash another ROM just make a backup in SS then flash the new ROM in the stock slot. If you want to go back to the previous ROM just make a new backup and restore your previous (first ROM) backup into the stock slot.
I'm currently running on 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on my ATT Galaxy S4(SGH-i337). I want to upgrade to the latest Kitkat 4.4.2 Stock Update. My ATT S4 is rooted and unlocked to work in India.
Can someone tell me:-
- If I need custom recovery for this ?
-If Yes/ No how do I go about it ?
-Will I lose root & and Carrier unlock after update ?
- Link to the Stock 4.4.2 Kitkat OTA

If you update, depending on which firmware you are on now, you will lose your ability to boot custom roms. If you have the MDL firmware, I suggest keeping it as you can use LOKI to bypass the locked bootloader and boot custom roms and recoveries. Now to answer your questions.
You can use a custom recovery to update to 4.4.2 if a .zip file for the update is available. You can also use ODIN to flash the update. You will lose root unless you use a pre-rooted update file. The stock 4.4.2 update is in the General forums I believe.
