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

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

I am on 4.3 unlocked and rooted. No plans to upgrade to kitkat. Can I use the new nd7 radio?

Yes, I am on 4.3 using ND7 now. (TrentsRom B6)
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.

If he has a custom recovery he's not stuck on 5.0.1

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
