I think this should go to Q&A but the way I understand is you are on 4.4.2 right? Not 4.2.2 since note released on 4.3.
MJ5 baseband which means you are running custom rom. Cannot be stock.

If that's the case, you can do the MJ5 restore to go back to 4.3 but please post the pic of the about so we can confirm what rom you running.

The only OTA update you will get is Kitkat..if you do that there is no way back

I know and I'm fine with that. The only way it seems to me to get the official ota KitKat is to go back to mj5. Then do the actual process of the ota update. But when I do that, I get stuck with this message.. 1402780018960.jpg

Ah...I see Butch.

To OP,

My suggestion is not to get the OTA but rather get the root and flash the custom KK that is close to stock. You will always have a choice there if you wanna mess around later. Once you go OTA, no way to go back and no root nothing. Don't make a jump unless you absolutely sure you can live with it. Read and research thoroughly. A lot of people want to go back from OTA and stuck with it.
