Read and re-read the instructions in this OP here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726868
It will get you on the leaked pre-rooted NC2 KitKat for now.
You will first have to upgrade to MJ7 or MK2 - root & install Safestrap 3.71 for starters.

Did you back up your TApartition while on the old firmware?
If you have a backed up TA and an unlocked bootloader life is easy. If not the above should work

Hey guys,
Can I still use the easy root tool to root after updating to the 4.4.4 firmware?
Thanks
Nope
I tried but it is getting stuck on CREATING VM (JAVASUCKS)
Same here... +1 Stuck on "Creating VM... "
No, the known flaws in 4.4.2 are all patched for latest fw, only current way around it is to downgrade, root install dual recovery and flash a pre-rooted zip from CWM.
In other words;
Go back to .314 (4.4.2) firmware,
Root,
Install a recovery,
And flash the new 4.4.4 firmware via recovery.

There are new rumors that you can root 314 - select preserve mode in SuperSU - and go OTA... and root will remain...

Yeah I've heard that aswell. It's most likely working. Shall I try it? Just spent a few hours getting 4.4.4 work on my phone with root...
Ah right - Fuuuun...
I think i'll just carry on stock until someone sorts out a rooting method for 4.4.4 that doesn't involve so much faffing about lol.
Thanks for all the replies
Just keep a eye in Z3 Section too
4.4.4 firmrare is a near direct port
Hi folks,
I have a new 4.4.4 Z2, should I root it now or wait after the Lollipop version is installed?
Will I be able to install the Lollipop when rooted?

Now struggling for a night with unlocking the bootloader, sooms that W7x64 has a prob with it so he can't find the driver.
I'm becoming a nerd
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

There is no way at this time (and may never be) to install a custom recovery whether it is CWM or TWRP on bootloaders newer than MDK. You can root these phones but that's about it. Look into running safestrap if you want to run a custom rom (TW based only).

No, however there is SafeStrap. This would be your best bet for custom roms for the time being, granted they must be compatible. They are still working on SS so keep an eye one it as they are trying to make it so you can flash any rom.
Hello..
I'm on 4.4.2 and I have a stock NC5 ROM, only ROOTED by Towelroot so I don't really have a recovery or anything.
I want the Lollipop OC1, I know that it has no root I just want to know where to start? do I just flash it through ODIN? Thank you.!!!
