I've unrooted, done a factory wipe several times and each time my install for the 4.4.2 OTA update fails at 28%. When I press the menu button to see the reason why I get the following error (sorry for potato quality). It says that the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi apk has unexpected contents, but I don't even have that app and I never uninstalled it either. When I go to the Play Store I can download it and it still isn't a system app. As I said, I've done several factory wipes and I was hoping that would fix it since I hate doing wipes. Any ideas?

Any way to update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 without having to install TWRP/CWM/etc? I used CF-Auto-Root since 4.0 and updated to 4.1 and 4.3 without any problems. I don't really want to deal with custom ROMs or bootloaders or anything extra. I'd just like to update to 4.4 stock + SuperSU and nothing more.

get to stock 4.3 with odin flashable file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722660 then use the stock ota file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2788012, flash it in stock recovery from external sd card, bootloader will be upgraded using this method and you may not be able to downgrade to 4.3 after this ,but it will be stock as you wanted, use towelroot apk from towelroot.com to root 4.4.2 , install superusersu from play store and update binaries

Well thanks for trying, but this method wipes all your data, which is kinda something I'd want to avoid...

HuntsVegas!!!
You may be out of luck then. Why not backup using titanium backup, and/or a nandroid, and copy your internal sd content to a computer. Then update and copy sd data back and restore apps with titanium? Sure its a little extra time and effort, but you'd probably be done sooner than finding an alternative.
