Depending on where you get the NAE tar file you may lose data. The 4.4.2 tar file on Sammobile.com does not wipe data, but I've heard reports that the tar file in the android development section does do a factory reset when it installs so you will lose data. Choose wisely.

And the data is sometimes wiped from your entire internal SD.

How can i get stock rom mja i have 4.3 rooted but i wanna get 4.3 stock
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Not really possible ATM. No tar file available. So you are in a way stuck with 4.3 rooted.

Not really unless cnexus makes a stock odexed rom then we can just flash that, flash stock kernel and stock recovery and unroot. Then do a factory wipe. But we dont have those files so if you modded your phone. You stuck until we can get a working tar or the files needed.

I think I saw in the general section that there is a tar file for Odin now. You may want to check there
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes, the full MJA tar file is available on sammobile.com, download it and flash with odin.

[Q] Installing 4.4.2 via OTA

When the download finish it says reboot to install, when the phone gets to recovery mode installing the update it says error installing update, what should i do?
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Are you on 100% stock MK2 unrooted? If you are on a custom ROM or have a custom recovery with root it will not install the zip as it checks to see if your phone has any modified files.

The phone isnt rooted and it has the stock recovery, as u said how can i check if there are some modified files?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Did you delete, froze any apps that came with the phone? Did you install hotspot or anything that modified the system?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I havent deleted any app, the hostpot is the original app from sprint
But i still dont know why it wont update
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you really want to update to kit kat then just odin mk2 .tar and do a fresh install again and just try the download again.

You won't lose your data. A stock tar install does not erase data unless you do a factory reset.
Ok then i will have to wait for the update.zip from Sammobile firmware

[Q]

thank you very much
there a way to update it?
I do not need root just nc1 stock
Thanks to all
Use the following guide

But remember to backup your data to computer you will lose it all. Since OTA update doesn't work for you Odin will erase all your data like factory reset.

First fully charge your device.
Second flash a new fresh rom.
Or you just go in recovery and do a factory reset (whipe data, cache,)

What version of TWRP do you use? It sounds like your EFS could potentially be FUBAR'd........TWRP has the option to back up the EFS and if you have a TWRP backup it should have the EFS backup in it...check your backups to see if you have this. Give this a shot, it should fix the issue!!
If not, as he's recommending for the 'hard reset' it's under wipe and then advanced........just make sure that you have EVERYTHING backed up on a computer as this will erase all the data on your phone.
Try this:
Go to /efs/FactoryApp/
Open a file called factory mode.
It will probably say OFF. Edit to ON, save and reboot.
None of my back ups have EFS I forgot to click box it.

You don't have any efs folder in your phone now?
Go back to recovery and mount efs, then use twrp's built in file manager and browse to efs and see if it's empty. I don't think it is.
