Nope, phone has been stock unrooted since day 1. Used ODIN to do it

found this was the easiest - http://true-android.blogspot.com/2014/01/install-xxuena6-android-442-kitkat.html
Downloaded this file (torrent link) - http://mattfacts.com/N3KitKat.rar.torrent
The process wipes the phone so a backup is a must!

I'm interested in trying this as well, but I've read that you need a new version of Gear Manager and Samsung haven't released it yet.

no prob
Read this as well, i don't have a gear so wasn't an issue for me but since you have one i would recommend you wait. Apparently there isn't a way to downgrade yet

Yes that's right, once you flash the new bootloader there's no way to go back to 4.3 Hopefully the devs can get around that.

I went for the first one. Did not see the need for an adaptor. Just went for a straight cable.

KitKat focuses more on battery life from what I remember reading the blurbs.
So you saying you using a micro hdmi to HDMI cable?
I have been using the red one in the second link for quite some time now.

So you have the Gear... I am so tempted to get one. Is it worth it? I heard some talk about a new Gear coming out with the S5, so maybe I should wait for that rather...
Flashed the 4.4.2 leaked version no problems. The one with just the tar.md5 file. Rooted it as well no problems.

I'm so confused
