If your phone isn't an mdk or dev edition Verizon s4 there's no custom recovery like Philz for you.
Only SafeStrap.

There's no way to get CM11 or anything AOSP. As he just said, ONLY 4.3 TW roms.

No way to downgrade, thats why theres no way to get CM11. I would've told you to downgrade if you could.

ok do you think there will every be a way to get 4.4.2 kitkat with 4.3 because i am not a big fan of touchwiz
As Mistertac said twice and I said twice, no you cannot get kitkat whatsoever. You can not get anything but 4.3 TW. That's it

4.3 Exploit?
The Android 4.3 builds on the Verizon i545 (MJ7, MK2) are quite easily exploited and rooted. But that's not the right question.
What matters is what bootloader version you have.
The MDK bootloader can be bypassed with Loki. None of the later bootloader builds allow arbitrary kernel or recovery flashes. Each build for the S4 has locked down the phone further. However, all of the i545 builds are currently rootable. What you can do once rooted is pretty limited post MDK.

I was wondering if there is any progress on the bootloader unlock, or should I just pretend that it won't happen?
Also, I noticed that there aren't any developers that have created a 4.3 TouchWiz rom. Is this development halted because of the KNOX security issues?
Thanks for the help!!
There are at least 2 TW 4.3 ROMs. One of them even has an Aroma installer.

This is the only one actually. It looks pretty good. Keep in mind, you need to be on MDK to use it since it uses a 4.3 kernel.

yeah, to be honest, I kind of was hoping for a bigger vender like Hyperdrive or Eclipse to do this to their ROM. Also, it looks like their 4.3 ROM is in early beta stages. thanks though!!
Anyone know anything about the bootloader progress?
Hi. I'm new to this, stuck on ME7 with Safestrap. Am I better off going back to stock and updating it OTA, then rooting? Is there a better recovery then that will allow me to update to 4.3 and eventually 4.4 Roms? Sorry the NOOB question.

Can't you guys downgrade with Odin? then install recovery and your rom?

Well I get that, the question is since it was possible to flash a GE ROM with s-on for 4.3 why not 4.4. Mainly because I and a few others out there can not seem to get s-off.

No one knows why 4.4 GPE won't work on s-on phones. If you want stock android, then I suggest flashing an aosp rom.

Make a backup with your custom recovery- if your phone has the mdk boot loader, if it doesn't you'll have to use safestrap

I recently got a replacement S4 with version 4.2.2, so I rooted it and installed Hyperdrive rsl10 rom. Now my Galaxy Gear watch won't connect. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks for the help guys.
I believe you will have to flash a 4.3 rom since you won't be taking Verizon ota updates. Gear watch needs 4.3 roms

Ok, then you have two options. You can either go back to stock and update to 4.3 or wait until Safestrap is released for 4.3 so you can flash Hyperdrive RLS11.

A lot of development since I first browsed here awhile ago. I'm on 4.2.2 and have no idea what to do.
I think the Eclipse ROM is compatible with SS for AOSP UI. Haven't used it myself though. I think you'd have to update to 4.3 for it though. Don't quote me on that.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
What do you mean by you are on ME7.... are you on an ME7 based ROM? or are you on the official ME7 stock verizon build?
If you are rooted and not on an MDK bootloader then you will have to use safestrap and flash a safestrap safe ROM which there are a bunch now.

At this point if your not on an MDK s4 and are on the me7 stock firmware I'd suggest looking into updating your phone to MK2 then root it and install SafeStrap.
There are a lot of ROM options out now for that setup. Not really anymore being made for ME7 I don't believe.
Like they said though read up 1st so you know what you're getting into. And if you do decide to go that route just Odin MK2 on your phone... Nice an easy. This of course if you're NOT on an MDK based phone running an ME7 ROM
