Both mrkhigh's and 440bro's posts were insanely useful. Take the time to read carl1961's guide as well. Scroll down to the nc2 files section. The same steps are also included there as well as the same files you can use. Scroll a bit further down and you'll see screenshots(in hidden tags) of the files loaded correctly into Odin. There are several setups so use the one you need.

Heya everyone!
I was trying to play Pokemon Go but I found out it only supports Android 4.4+ and by some cruel twist of fate I'm on 4.3.
I'm trying to figure out how to get to 4.4(or any other supported version) while still maintaining root(I need it because I'm on MetroPCS rather than AT&T and I have to use a root required app to use their service). I tried un-rooting and using the OTA update but that was a complete failure. (Maybe because I didn't fully unroot) Restored root with safestrap and I've been stuck in a rut since. I tried the guide in the resource thread but the guide it links to is missing a file so that's basically a no go.
Here's my about device(it's also rooted and I have safestrap):
If this info is relevant, I originally rooted my phone using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-root-at-galaxy-note-3.html
Ever since I've installed xposed, a couple modules and loaded safestrap(thank God because I'd be so effed without this right now) onto it. Oh and I have yet to trip Knox.
Could anyone guide me through the steps or point me to the appropriate thread? I can follow instructions pretty well, as long as I can understand. Any help is appreciated!
P. S. Would this thread help? http://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnl1-4-4-4-12-24-t2983357
