I want to upgrade from MLG to NC2 too. However, there is no direct way to do it at the moment.

However, if you are still at A2, you can use Safestrap to switch between MJ5 and NC2 (Please don't flash NC2 aboot.mbn!!!!!!)

As Jerrycoffman said. . . .

Restore back to MJ5 using this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
Don't root using the last part. It removes knox which will block you from being able to update the phone.

Next there will be a OTA to install its around 60mb. This is NB4

Lastly, just download kitkat OTA that's available. This may take sometime because it is a larger file size.

A lot of people have had issues installing the Kitkat OTA (including me). It fails at a certain percentage.
If you have this problem just follow this guide to fix it - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701062

Make sure you back up any apps and files you need before starting this

Honestly instead of upgrading to official KK, why don't you just root and flash of of the available KK rom which is so much better than stock. Unless you don't care about the custom rom and root, you can follow what other has suggested to get the official OTA. Once you update thought, no way to get it root anymore

There is absolutely NO reason, if you follow instructions correctly, to accept the official update. Been there, done that. Glad I returned my OFFICIAL 4.4.2 phone and got another one to keep root on!!!:D

i was under the impression that i cannot root once i am on KK? also i use ISIS on a daily basis... do the new custom KK roms support ISIS?

Best solution:
Go to Best Buy and ask one of the Samsung people to get you to stock, in less than 10 to 15 minutes you'll be in OTA Kit Kat.
