Can't get install to take...

I have an unlocked AT&T Note II (SGH-I317). I've followed the OP instructions to a tee and when the phone begins the reboot after the ROM install it gets to the Samsung screen with LED flashing and after several minutes will inevitably reboot to my recovery (Latest TWRP). My last attempt I wiped the internal sdcard several times and it did the same thing. I have the 4.3 bootloader installed. Just a footnote that LiquidSmooth's 4.4.2 installs without a hitch. So I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any advice is much appreciated. :good:

p.s. Looking forward to DN3 4.4.2.

Give it a shot and tell us how it worked out!
The dirty flash from stock 4.3 with the MK6 bootloader actually works fine for me.
My only hiccup was that I had to remove and re-install Google Chrome (as it is a system app, and not the one from the Play Store) as it kept force closing. I can't comment on battery life as yet, but it seems to be the same.

Hey guys first I wanna say thanks to @eZdubzitmk4 for letting us get a taste of kitkat early while we are waiting for the dn3 goodness they are working on with E-team. I have been using ezkat as a daily driver from day one without any problems other than the ocassional fc but otherwise works like a dream! Quick question anyone now if it is possible to change the Lte band on our i317 on this rom?

Thanks for the info! I found my battery life slightly improved over DN3 4.3. Much smoother however. I did clean wipe with titanium restore. Had to re-install chrome as well.

I find the battery life is definitely an improvement over dn3 4.3. Rom is much more responsive. I think that is more to do with kitkat more efficient use of ram?

Hi, I installed ezKat 2.0 last night and am enjoying it very much. I had to re-install several apps but it seems to be working good now. My only issue is that WiFi is not turning on. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks!

Make sure you have newest modem.

My Rom flashes a modem so that's your issue. flash yours after.
