How to manually install 4.4.2 on Verizon Note 2 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Reason why I am asking this is because I'm currently out of the country and wondering how or where to find the firmware for the verizon note 2. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I'm wondering this as well, since my phone no longer has an active Verizon SIM in it. Was hoping the update would show up in Kies so I could update that way, but it's still showing 4.3 as the latest. I haven't seen anyone post a dump yet that could be flashed with Odin. I assume this will be the "normal" way to do the upgrade aside from OTA?

Me too.....
We need to wait for sammobile.com to upload the firemware (i605VRUFND7). You can register to this website and download the firmware.
You can use ODIN to flash it.
But sammobile.com not yet uploaded the firmware....waiting

Good to know I'm not the only one in this situation. Can I root my phone first then update?

It looks like the update is now on Kies 3 as well. I have my phone plugged in and updating using that method right now.

The SamMobile download works if you log out and then back in again.

Not really. I've tried logging in/out on multiple PCs v& I still end up with a 500MB download that is corrupt

The update using Samsung Kies worked great and only took a few minutes. Didn't have to bother with downloads from slow, unofficial sites - just plug in the phone, click update, and wait 5 minutes.

What was that OTA update this morning? I accidentally hit update.

Did anyone else get the OTA this morning? I was still half asleep and accidentally hit the update button without even seeing what it was. I am just curious as to what it was for.
Go to settings general, about and take a pic or tell
us what you see under firmware and such
There is an update. It downloaded, but hasn't installed on my phone yet. It is for VoLTE stability and new functions. Any know where these downloads are stored so I can flash with mobile Odin....

			
				
That's definitely new
It's definitely a new update, nothing major.

Anyone have the latest firmware? Sammobile doesn't.... I have download it but cant flash with Mobile Odin.

You can do it through kies.
Not to maintain root I cant
I'm sure it includes fixes and such, but more importantly can it still be rooted or will it break? I believe the main reason for the size of the update is so your phone knows Chinese!
I am towelrooted abd on the last update. If you use mobile odin you retain root
Just want everyone to know that I am updated to CNK2 and still rooted via TOWELROOT...... Works great so far!!!
Does anybody have just the firmware only file. Mobile Odin doesn't flash this and has to be done in Odin 3.09.

I do, but can't upload via app
Can you upload it to Dropbox or mega so we can get it there or email it?
I'm on the same situation trying to make sure if, I should get the update or not?
Add new link
So what does it fix?
Adds Chinese and VoLTE

Lollipop Factory Firmware!!

I managed to download the lollipop stock firmware for the Note 3 using Kies. Its file name comes in as N900VVRUEOB6_N900VVZWEOB6_N900VVRUEOB6_HOME.tar.md5.
I am uploading to Google Drive right now.
edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Ae6ytnQ-FHYkdBSlRoYURxQnc/view?usp=sharing
I ODIN the above firmware from 4.4.4, the result was PASS but after reboot the phone is stuck on initial Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Logo...
If anyone has succeeded in the installation then please share your experience...
Edit: Finally Succeeded...Just we need to remove the battery, boot the phone in Recovery mode and Factory reset the device....
I have downloaded the firmware zip file from sammobile which is around 1.53 GB....and uploaded in my Google Drive...
Here it is : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5QUDadhHYPVcTF5dE43QjA1UU0/view?usp=sharing

Not yet, I think may be the first boot will take long time...so i was waiting since 20 min...I will try to Factory reset now...
Edit: Factory reset did the work...
I am not rooted. When I did both updates required for reaching lollipop, both times it was at the Verizon logo for a long time. Each time I thought something had gone wrong, but I just hung in there. So normally that part of it is slow.
Firmware is also now on SamMobile.

The firmware from Sammobile is of size 1.5 GB because it is zipped...
Please upload the firmware (zipfile) after downloading, in your google drive and share the link with us....so that we dont have to download 2.4 GB file from the OP...
Uploading zip to my drive now
Here zipped
So... will it be possible for someone to root the update file? or does it check md5 before installing on the phone? Just not sure if i should upgrade from 4.4.2 or wait for a rooted 5 if its possible?
Yeah that happened to me once too. Good thing you figured it out. ?

Dude! This is amazing. I have been waiting a couple of months for this. A coworker dropped her phone in a toilet, and it must have shorted something corrupting the system files... It would stay on when in bootloader, but I couldn't find a file to flash. I just flashed this and it's working 100%. You're awesome!! Thank you.

It is no longer available, there is a note that says "You need pay to get download links!" However, PayPal has blocked donations, probably because he was misusing his account.

Would trying to run that update from using this firmware cause a bootloop? I'm having that happen with the person's phone I'm helping. They accepted it last night, and now it's bootlooping. Showing me the dead android droid.

Bloatware?
Do these firmware files include the massive amount of bloatware included when you purchase the phone from Verizon? I am appalled at Verizon. There are a good 5 gigs or so of apps installed on my device I have no intention of ever using and it is driving me crazy.

No.....because you will also need to odin stock pk1 onto your at&t phone in download mode before anything will change. After that, whatever features stock pk1 firmware has along with your phone contract is what you will have on your phone. So in the end, probably.
MMB29M. G930AUCS4APK1 is the Latest version we have gotten from AT&T OTA dated Nov. 1 and released Nov. 18, 2016

I'm not on cricket, but i am on AT&T, all i had to do was manually put my apn in. Then i downloaded titanium and froze setup wizard to get rid of the "this is not a Verizon sim" notification. It worked for me.
