Need to reinstall SGH-I467 4.4.2 update...help?

[moviemogul]

Ok. Got a Note 8 from a Pawn Shop for $80. However, I think that it has some software issues and I want to reinstall the stock 4.4.2 and eventually get root without using KingRoot..

Is it possible to wipe and start fresh from Kies? Or should I use ODIN? I downloaded an update.zip, but I'm lost when it comes to Odin.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm afraid there's no way to do that, not without odin flashable 4.4.2 image. All you can find is 4.1.2 flashing which would corrupt the bootloader and put your device in soft-brick.
