at least I can say that it will come. I just dont know when
I think the update will be too late, cause we just received the JB 4.3!

So after upgrading to 4.3 Every thing stays the same.

i9506 is scheduled for 4.4.2 end of Q1 (end of March), but in reality Samsung seem to be a month or so off the schedule normally, so probably more like end of April before kitkat starts rolling out.

Not quite the same. Once you upgrade to 4.3 your phone will be KNOXed. After that you are screwed if you want to put a custom rom or root your phone. If you really want 4.3 and keep your ability to root, DO NOT let your carrier perform the update over the air. Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597058 to get 4.3 without being KNOXed.

Ota make sense if you are in region where ota first hit updates. For me it tames few weeks for official updates come to my carrier. Custom rom is great thing . In most cases you will see new updates here before ota hit your region

Samsung Might Skip 4.2.2 Update for Galaxy S3 and Note 2, Plans Jelly Bean 4.3 Instead, along with Galaxy S4
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/07/16/rumor-samsung-may-skip-android-4-2-2-on-galaxy-note-ii-galaxy-s-iii-for-android-4-3/
i don't think so 4.3 is not on the nexus 4 yet so it would still be a surprise if we get it this year which makes plenty of time for 4.2.2 on our device
I am glad we have great Aosp Roms and we don't have to wait for crapwiz.
That is old speculation and rumor that has grown new legs today .
Reports all tend to be identical .

Where did the leak 4.2.2 came frm?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
O look!......another rumour.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! (It's an old man thing!)
They already skipped 4.2.1.... the 4.2.2 leak us much more advanced. It takes a LOT of effort to take google's source code and touchwiz it up. If they skipped 4.2.2 for 4.3, 4.3.1 will be on the horizon so they may aswell keep scrapping up to android 18.5...
Nah, rumour = rubbish IMHO

You're right, it's not true. It is the leak compiled in May. NO WAY would they release a 2 month old leak as a stable release.
But, XX is not UK, Most of Europe use XX, Including Poland (who are usually first to get new releases) and Serbia, where the guy with the jokes is from.
As you can see on sammobile.com, Serbia will get XX releases.

Hi Severoprisan,
Thanks for the tip!
Two questions:
1) I have rooted my Note8, I guess I cannot upgrade the usual way thu ODIN or yes?
2) Can I use a alternative country rom to flash my Belgian Note8, France perhaps?
When referring to "WiFi" it means wifi only, so I cannot use it to flash my Note with 3G I guess...
Thanks for your valuable tips!
1 You can update with odin. No problem. Then use Cf-autoroot to root again.
2 This ROM is for Germany zone. But no problem using it in Romania.
And this ROM is for Note 8 wifi+3G

Keep in mind its just 16mb update mostly security/patches but i think and feel it's much faster smoother then before.
I think we'll get another update in the following weeks with bigger changes.
Ya I noticed it was pretty small, what we want is KITKATTTTTTTTT

I don't think this voids your warranty, because you are still on stock firmware....you don't need root or a custom recovery!
Just got an OTA from MJ5 to 8. Phone generally feels the same. Nothing new observed by me other than "maybe" a little better RAM management.

heres the update if you want to do it
but you cant go back to 4.3 and ive read 4.4.2 is a bit buggy
Maybe that's why they haven't rolled it out in other countries yet, I will probably just wait then because I use my note 3 as my daily driver so I'd rather it was 100%

Since my fone is carrier locked and 3 haven't pushed an update yet.

I think it is not a 100% safe thing to try to update a carrier-locked Note3 - given that you also do not have a lot of experience I would suggest waiting a little more (and in the meantime reading in the many threads around and searching for somobody else with a carrier-locked Note 3 from the same 3 UK carrier).
You can get a free unlock code from three, got mine installed polish kit kat no problems.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Just to mention that some 3rd party apps still require updates from developers to work on 4.4 so if you don't mind waiting a month or two this should also give them time too.
So if I get it unlocked, then its OK to flash the official update?
Basically I just want yo know the effect of flashing an official ROM on a carrier locked fone.
Yeah I've been reading the threads so I know how to flash it using Odin.just wanted to know will it be OK or will my fone go KU-KU

You can flash even if it's network locked. It will stay network locked... But won't be a problem. You can also get your phone unlocked free from three.

You will loose root unless you use mobile odin with the keep root feature, and boot into download, then flash the bootloader. I don't think there's a de la vega style root on 4.4.
