After some research. I had determined that article to be false. Those builds for the Verizon note 3 are 4.3. I went to the download link which led me to the user who posted it. @DutchDogg54 is the contributor to that download. I checked his name here in the forums and confirmed, those are older 4.3 builds.
So. That being said, don't flash them.
Hope this helps.

Yea I saw those there is another link in the article that says it's for a kitkat download and I opened that link and it takes you to a download that's labeled recovery.tar not sure what's it's all about but I kind of figured it was bogus since I'm sure it would have been here before I posted the link

Yes, that site is posting bogus info. There is no 4.4.2 update for Verizon or several other variants. He has heard from me about this and about linking directly to my files which is a no-no. Sorry that you all had any confusion, but that's unfortunately what often happens around major version releases - people try to boost their sites click count by posting false information. Shame really.
To find all current and relevant information go to a trusted source - my thread in development - bold link in my signature. :good:

That's what I kinda figured

Hey, I have something for you.
as mentiond in the other thread OTA fails on rooted devices Kies works fine though.
Had to reapply CF root after update. Now time to expolore new features and work out how to restore unified search. I don't use it, I just want to stick it to apple.
So is the update good or bad? Should I update?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Had the update, and predictably lost root so re-odinised with CF-root 6.4 and no luck, phone knows its modified but no rooted apps work, updated the supersu from the market but no apps call on it anymore, its like its nor there.
Any idea's

UPDATED! 10/15 [Announcement] Safestrap released by Hashcode

In case you missed it Hashcode released the alpha of Safestrap over here...
[RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.6x
...I am just sharing the news. You need to check the original thread for details and instructions. Please read carefully as there are a few caveats at this time. Like...
CURRENTLY THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
KNOWN ISSUES (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
For locked users: there is a process that happens when you click "Reboot Recovery" from the APK or use the "Recovery" button during the splash screen. Safestrap checks the device for write_protect and if it's enabled will automatically reboot the device to recovery (write_protect disabled) mode. You will see this as a screen with ORANGE text reading: "PLEASE WAIT THE DEVICE IS REBOOTING TO RECOVERY". Followed by the bootloader screen again. You may also see the splashscreen for Safestrap. If you see the splashscreen hit "Recovery" again. It's supposed to automatically take you to into recovery, but it doesn't work correctly yet.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And there are other things you need to read as well. So head over there and check out the OP and enjoy.
10/15 UPDATE BELOW
Hashcode said:
NEW Safestrap in the OP Link: v3.63
ATTENTION: IF UPGRADING FROM v3.62 or EARLIER USE "REMOVE RECOVERY" IN THE APK BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION. I CHANGED THE HIJACK IN v3.63 -- DIFFERENT FILES ARE BEING CHANGED NOW.
CHANGES:
[3.63] I re-wrote the hijack to work at a MUCH better point during the boot. This cleans up most of the "jankyness" we were previously seeing with BT/Wifi and adb serial # on the stock rom. ** Note when upgrading to v3.63: Make sure to use the "Remove Recovery" in the previous version BEFORE installing the new APK. **
[3.63] The 2nd-init hijack was updated to work w/ Android 4.3 (for when that's pushed)
[3.62] Better handling for the virtual partitions
[3.62] Some bugfixes for /mnt handling
[3.62] Customizable sizes for partitions (you can use the defaults if unsure). Use the "+" or "-" buttons on the rom-slot creation screen to add / remove 100mb per click.
Enjoy

You cannot use it with encryption.

I just saw the tweet and thought I would share it. You'll have to double check the original thread. But it looks like (to me and I could be completely wrong) that as long as you haven't enabled encryption then you should be good.

The modem itself needs flashed in the phone slot to stick, but fair warning - so far it can't be reversed.
(Oh, and thank @crawj for reminding how we did on S4, turned out same trick worked.)

I seem to have the same problem. Both software version and baseband are stuck on NCB. I tried flashing via phone, no errors after completion. Anyone have any ideas?

Nope. You can't install any aosp based Roms compiled from source. You can only use TW Roms, and one google edition ROM that's in the general section
