you see an update appear on your Samsung*Galaxy Note 2*from Verizon over the next couple of days, know that it is not*Kit Kat*(Android 4.4). The update allows the phone to roam to TELUS in Canada, and that’s about it. The update brings the phone to build*I605VRUAND3.

The*Galaxy S3*on Verizon received the same update last week.*

Keep in mind that the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 have been confirmed by Samsung as phones on the*list of devices scheduled to receive Kit Kat. They haven’t given us a release time frame, instead are leaving*that responsibility to the carriers. With the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 on most carriers (sorry, Verizon Note 3 owners) having already received the update to Android 4.4, we should start seeing the Note 2 and S3 over the coming months. In fact,*Sprint’s Galaxy S3 received Kit Kat last week.

Again, you should see an update on your Verizon Note 2 this week, just try to to get too excited.

Thanks, I got the same and of course updated. When checked it wasn't KitKat? Eat a bunch of battery and didn't seem to do anything. So maybe this month we get 4.4?

Just tried this but unfortunately it fails. Hopefully there will be a newer one soon or another solution other than Hard Reset. Thanks for the post though!

Can anyone verify if this is legit for Rooting this update?

There are 15 comments on that post saying it does not work. I think that settles it. Only way I know is to Odin back to the previous version, root that and then freeze SDM so you don't update again.
