I'm on AT&T in the Southern US and upgraded to a Note 3 yesterday. It still has 4.3 with a kernel from October 2013.
I decided to root it last night, which I had done to my previous S3. I then tried to run the software update in the general settings and it fails at around 25% after reboot. I assumed because I rooted and removed some apps it was failing. So I decided to do a full reset through the settings menu. I did that and tried the update again with the same results. I then tried a factory reset using the volume up+home+power method and wiped the phone and cache. When I reboot it still shows a lock on the screen and software update still fails at about 25%.
So bearing all this in mind if I wait will my device eventually update to 4.4? Can I download it and install manually? If I take it back to the store and ask them to update will they know it was rooted at some point? Can they even do the update?
