Sounds like people have issues downgrading from MJ4 but if you're still on MI5 downgrade to the official MI3; Update to MJ4, root and TWRP again. (Anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong...)
I'm still on MI5, being patient and cautious.
UPDATE: Similar thread only several posts down with info...
I think I might wait also. To many steps to screw up lol

I got to update but somehow supersu is not working. Says I don't have root access but I'm running a custom recovery?

I'm having trouble rooting my galaxy s4. No I'm not on the update but I've tried to use both tools avaliable and neither work. I keep getting adb outdated or device not found. ..what can I do? I would prefer to flash through odin.

You're using the CF-Autoroot method? It's the only one which is working if you've happened to update to MG1 by accident or anything.
Otherwise the Motochopper exploit should still be alright :/

You're thinking of a different model. There is no MG1 update for this one. The latest is ME7, which the OP has already stated they had not upgraded to.

So I took the risk and rooted my AT&T S4 with kingo. The only issue is that I can't get a recovery installed. Is there any way to get CWM installed or should I use safestrap?

CFAutoroot will work on the latest firmware. I unrooted, updated through Kies, and rerooted just to be sure.

Out of curiosity, how did you unroot? I forgot to check for the OTA before I rooted and never got it.

Okay, I mistyped. You unroot through a factory restore via Kies, but the Knox counter is still tripped.
No, that's fine.... Just making sure of the proper way to unroot. I was pondering using the posted .tar file and using Odin, but wasn't sure if that was the best method.

Can I downgrade via a FULL WIPE 4.4.2 NC5 .tar.md5 from a 5.0.1 OC1 via Odin?
I'm on stock, but I'm not rooted.

If you took the OTA update to Lollipop then you are out of luck, you can't downgrade. If you flashed it via the instructions in other threads, those threads explain the process.

As the title says, I just received my phone from swaapa. after my s4 mdk version broke. The phone is rooted and it's running 5.0.1 I'm not familiar with this version. So for safety measures can some one link the restore file you would use to restore it back to stock (the one used in odin).

There is no way to put the phone back to MDK. However, the info in this thread will give you some guidance on downgrading to KitKat and keeping root, among other things. 5.0.1 isn't bad. I'm running stang5litre's debloated 5.0.1. I bought my SGS4 from Swappa, as well. It was not MDK, either, so I'm limited to what ROM's I can run. Hope this helps.
Is it AOSP or touch wiz? If its aosp it's likely to have an mdk bootloader. Can you give us a screenshot of your "About Phone" in settings?

It's currently running a tw rom but I'm able to use twrp so I'm not sure cause other versions use that other recovery.

So, my only guess is he has an MDK bootloader with the stock 5.0.1 TW installed.

Don't flash a stock ROM in Odin. If you do that you will loose the MDK bootloader forever. You're a lucky person, you can flash whatever you like right now, whether it is a TouchWiz or AOSP. If you loose the MDK bootloader you loose the ability to bootloader bypass exploit.

So I can go back to the mdk version through Odin and then reroot? I'm confused my old s4 was still on mdk and I was using cm.

Yes, or you could just update TWRP to the latest version and try a 5.1.1 CM based ROM. I recommend Exodus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3135866
