so from what ive read just rename the file to update.zip in order to flash through stock recovery? when i try it retains the .cfg extension am i literally supposed to compress to a zip file? please correct me if im missing something but this is driving me nuts.
No, right click the .cfg so the whole thing is highlighted including the .cfg then manually type in update.zip to rename it

thanks for the reply.
my folder settings were hiding the file extensions so i changed that in the viewing options and now its installed but now my screen stops responding 1 second after turning on this is a night mare haha.
So I just used Odin to take me to ML2. Got this file on my SD card and as I try to go to the recovery menu using volume up, menu, and power buttons it show's the "Recovery booting..." on the top left but then the phone reboots and loads normally.
Any ideas on how to get my recovery menu back?

It's Vol+/HOME/POWER and then just before you anticipate that tiny bit of recovery text in upper left corner let go fast, believe me it took me a few tries to get this right but then it should take you into recovery.
/facepalm yeah I meant home not menu, but thank you I hadn't realized that I needed the correct timing all working now
OTA Issues
Can anyone confirm that the upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4.2 is safe when using the renamed CFG file instead of doing the OTA? I would like to try out KitKat but I don't want burn-in and an unresponsive touch screen.

The 2400258.cfg IS the OTA just not in the form of a tidy set of ODIN files as many are accustomed to. It is perfectly safe and I've personally flashed it several times as have many others successfully as is well documented in Sunderwear's 4.4.2 root thread.

I have tried to search for this but am confused. Can somebody confirm if I can install this file by renaming to update.zip and installing through the recovery. My config: i537 with 4.3 ML2 rooted, Knox apks removed. No additional mods. Appreciate the help in advance.

Well you need to give more into than that if you want help. Tell us the phone's model number, what build number you're currently on, and what exactly goes wrong when you try to install
