I can't seem to find a way to flash a new ROM on this phone. I've used everything Rom manager to Loki and I just can't seem to find a way to flasha a new ROM onto this phone. Do you guys know any way to flash a new ROM onto the S4 running 4.4.2?

You can only flash through Safestrap if you are on NC5. Trying to flash via other ways such as Rom Manager, CWM, or TWRP is going to brick your phone. If you read any of the threads on your device, you would know this.

Hi, I have the same problem with kitkat so I found this View attachment UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
flash it with cwm and then turn on and you have root jejeejjejeje
when you flashed JB4.1 KDZ file did you wipe data, partition sd card and dalvik cache??? 'cause you have to wipe everything before boot
do it then tell us if it works
good look :good:

There's currently no way to root KK on this device without CWM. If you don't have it, only way is to revert to JB, root your device and install CWM. Then flash KK via CWM.
And you really shouldn't post your question in 3 different threads. No need to swamp this forum.

If we, the P715 users, flash KK via CWM, are we going to lose root permissions and the access to CWM recovery? Do you have any links for a rom.zip file where in we can flash it via CWM? if you dont know any, well thankyou at least.

The procedure should be the following:
- Install CWM
- Flash the ROM zip via CWM
- Flash SuperSu zip via CWM
- Reboot
Then you'll get the rooted ROM. No harm to CWM this way.
Regarding ROM for your device + SuperSu zip, you can find both in this post.
Thanks!

Well then, thanks! I'll follow the steps with caution and I'll report back after Just 1 last question (hoping to be the last one hahaha), you've been there at that thread so can I ask you if there were some bad reports about this zip file? I just dont want anything to fail and put this phone in a bad state.

Well, I can say that the KK ROM is a bit less stable comparing to the JB one and a little more buggy (led not working is really annoying). If you don't want any specific KK feature, I'd suggest you wait for a more stable ROM.

Don't see a reason why not. However, once you have CWM installed, before upgrading to KK, make a nandroid backup from CWM, so you'll be able to revert if you encounter any issues with KK.

So i was on 4.4.2 with the rom not3 free deox, i use teamwinreocvery to wipe and install roms. I could noy figure out how to go 4.4.4, so i downloaded the stock 4.4.4 and did a nand erase while installing stock 4.4.4. Then i rooted my phone, installed the superchain su, and installed teamwi , and installed thr same rom for 4.4.4. Is there an easier way to upgrade the firmware? And how can i update the rom if there are updates

Seems now a days modems, firmware and bootloaders are more tightly entwined, unlike previous galaxy models (I used Epic and S3). So Odin'g latest and then re-rooting is the best method. Of course this may change in the future.
Speaking of bootloaders i know thst its locked for the note 3, but when i had 4.4.2 i downloaded some sort of bootloader. When it started up it would take up half of the screen on the left side with words and numbers like reason to boot power, test xx normal. In black and white. I needed it to roit 4.4.2 but i cant find it anywhere now, do i even need it

That was called the Engineering Bootloader, and I haven't seen an updated one for 4.4.4, either. I know that on some ROMs, updates were broken when trying to flash while on the Engineering bootloader (that's why I personally went back to the stock bootloader).
I know the engineering bootloader was advertised as being future-proof in terms of being able to flash modems in a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, Philz, etc.). I haven't heard of any problems flashing various modems while using a stock bootloader, so I don't think it's really required.

Here is a post I created when helping someone with installing custom ROMs. It has clear directions on how to update based on Odin.
I am having a hard time finding the correct steps to root then install a recovery then install cyanogen mod or whatever ROM works the best for the S4 for stock android steps.
What it be possible for someone to please post the correct steps in doing all that so I do not mess my phone up? And having the correct links in the steps for me to download the correct software would be also very helpful. Thanks so much in advance

We need more details about your phone, before we give you instructions on how to root & flash it.
What bootloader are you on? If you have a new Samsung Galaxy S4 or accepted an OTA update you cannot install Cyanogen Mod. CM ROMS only works on an MDK bootloader with the loki hack.
If you have a newer S4 or accepted an OTA then you'll have to use Safestrap to install touchwiz based roms. (Although I think there is a safestrap GPE ROM out there)

Do you mean NK1? From the Verizon site it seems the NK1 is the latest update http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-galaxys4-12-1-14.pdf
Here's a link on XDA on how to root the NK1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613
Here's the link to GPE ROM for SafeStrap I would read this thread thoroughly before even attempting to flash it, not sure if it works on the NK1 bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ow-to-install-aosp-s4-google-edition-t2817708
Sorry that I haven't been keeping up with the latest developments in bootloader unlocks, roots, recoveries, etc.
I'm on stock rooted deodexed 4.1.2 with unlocked bootloader and a probably now ancient TWRP. What is the best way for me to get to stock rooted deodexed 4.4.2? I don't see any guides for this sort of thing here. Thanks in advance.

i just received my phone from getting sboot downgrade at mobiletech videos... it was on 4.1.2 also. download the twrp manager app in playstore. update to 2.8.1 ( i think thats the recommended one for some AOSP roms) flash the new version. reboot. download whatever 4.4.2 rom. make sure its rooted and knox is removed. move to sd card. boot to recovery & install. if you have wifi issues you'll need to flash MJ9 firmware. and firmware only. or you'll lock your bootloader. some say you can flash via recovery but odin is what most recommend. i went from 4.1.2 to 5.0.1 w/o having to do the firmware update and i dont have any radio or wifi issues. good luck
