MJ7 means no KitKat? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I have safestrap installed with hyper drive running, right now. My question is whether I'll ever be able to install kitkat?
Am I only able to install 4.3 roms with safestrap?

Yes for now only 4.3 TW Roms for you. And I'd wait on updating to 4.4,via ota until people figure out how to root it and implement SafeStrap. May be a while

kitkat will be next OTA why would you think you won't be able to have it?
now, there is no safestrap for andriod 4.4 and root I don't think is available yet either.

I'm sure the poster meant even after the OTA comes out, he won't be able to stay on 4.3 with Safestrap and install a custom 4.4 Rom.

I assumed he was referring to flashing custom ROMs based on 4.4.2?

U will be able to flash a kitkat rom when/if hashcode can figure it out for safestrap users

Stock unrooted 4.3 rom

I have an mdk rooted s4 meaning that I can flash roms and other stuff like that through a recovery like twrp. I was wondering if there was a flashable zip for the new update , mj7, that is safe to flash and is unrooted. Thanks
Not unless you want to lose custom recovery and lok'd bootloader. A 4.3 rom will come out soon.

The update just came out so give the devs a some more time and you'll get a stock mj7 rom for your lok'd s4.

Recovery on 4.3 mk2?

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?

Download the modules that match your build from the Safestrap thread and flash in recovery.

Download the correct hyperdrive rom for safestrap. . Install the right kernel module after flashing the rom...read the thread. I don't think you would need to odin as long as you can back into safestrap. . Delete the rom slot and recreate it. Read the thread..

So reinstall hyperdrive?

4.3 rom on 4.4.2?

I am running the 4.4.2 ota. I used the downgrade method to root. Is it possible to run a 4.3 rom? Example if I wanted to run hyperdrive 15 how would I do it?

If you want Hyperdrive, there should be Hyperdrive 16 coming out soon to work with 4.4.2

Just bought a rooted phone of swaapa

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
