Hi everyone!

Firmware with Android 4.4.2 for the Galaxy Note 2 has recently arrived. If you can't wait for it to come to your phablet over-the-air, you can flash the newest version onto to your device as long as it is rooted. AndroidPIT and its employees will not take any responsibility for damages to your smartphone, so be sure that you feel confident with this procedure.

What you need to do:

  • Ensure that you have the correct model for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2: GT-N7100
  • charge phone to at least 80%
  • install correct drivers on PC
  • Enable USB debugging on Note 2 via settings > developer options

How to update the Galaxy Note 2 to Android 4.4.2 KitKat (XXUFND3)

  • Download and extract the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware for this version of the Galaxy Note 2. You can find the download here

    Click start and the installation will start
    When the installation is done your device will reboot and after this you will be running Android 4.4.2 KitKat

You can check to see what version it is running by checking in the settings -> about device.

Well, @rommel KitKat update for Note II is been rolling out all over, I can tell you the exact day it is going to arrive for your device but I'll say soon you are going to have the KitKat update.

I know that the most widely used operating system is Windows and because of this the Odin system is is touted for flashing Roms. I personally use LinuxMint and have done for 6 years so Odin is of no use to me. Could you at least put a link on your pages for us Linux users where we can get the information relative to us.
Thanks.
