You cannot find it because it cannot be rooted as several threads mention.

There is no direct way of rooting NC5 update...but you can go thru a downgrade method to do so. A couple of threads on this.

There's several threads about this. Search for MD7, or look for the topic subjects for MJ7.

How much research have you done?

It's either one or the other, it can't be both. Go into Settings>About Phone and see what baseband it says.

Asking questions is researching to me, do you have the answer to my question? I have done enough research to downgrade sucessfully from NC5 to MK2 install root go back up to NC5 and run hyper-drive. I like hyper drive but would like more roms to toy around with. Enough with the ego,I'm posting in the right section of the forum and it's a simple question. this question could very well answer more peoples questions and your thanks meter might go up. I've done enough research to know being mean gives you a bad rap and answering questions and bieing helpful in a help section gives you good reputation.

No.... You can not have "to" recoveries. Only "won".

Unfortunately you can only stay with safe strap, the Loki method only worked with the MDK bootloader the phone originally came with when it launched.

Baseband only refers to your modem by the way. Basically you need to know what your bootloader is aka what build your phone is currently on.
Seems you've been answered already as to your recovery question. Only SafeStrap is available for your phone as of now.

Hey there! I was just thinking that since those of us with phones that already had KitKat on them have the odds stacked against them in regards to rooting and custom ROMSs and whatnot, that it would be helpful if someone could make a list of ROMS and themes that will work with our phones via Safestrap. I really wanna try out some ROMs again on my phone but don't have time to deal with a crashed phone because I tried to load a ROM that won't work with Safestrap. Anyone have any thoughts on that idea?

It was meant more as a suggestion than a question, but I get it. I saw that other thread (I assume this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630040 is the thread you're referring to), but it says in big red letters that it's for Safestrap with 4.3, so I didn't think it applied to what I was talking about (4.4.2). Is that thread in the link the one you're referring to, and if so, are you saying that those will all work on our phones with 4.4.2 and Safestrap 3.72?

Ahhh, I see that now. Sorry about that, thanks for the help. Can a mod delete this thread so it's not wasting space? P.S. That list you sent me to should be made into a Sticky.

Alright guys, I have searched and searched for an answer; I rooted my S4 with build number NC5, with safestrap, however, I installed CM 11 (nightly) and google play store through SS. Now I read there isn't a way to do that. I have already booted my phone and now its just a black screen. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Also, I am on a Mac laptop, and I can't figure out how to use odin. I have also tried using j0dinCasual but it says something about not being able to locate my phone

You'll need to use Odin or Heimdall to re-flash a factory image.
After reading numerous threads I'm still unclear on this. I apologize, as I'm sure this has been answered several times. I was given a GS4 that is currently on the MK2 build and I'm trying to find out if there is a method for root/custom recovery. I'm not too interested in the safestrap methods.
Any straight answers to help minimize and clarify the research I've done is appreciated. Thanks.

Safestrap your only choice.

That is what I was afraid of. Might just stick to my Note 2 for awhile longer.
Thanks for the reply!
