I do not want to take an over the air update but want to run the latest TW 4.4.2 rom
Can someone point me to a thread that has the exact TW 4.4.2 rom or maybe a debloated stock rom for users who did not take an OTA update?

ive seen that thread it says if you have mdk do not take that update, im looking for a stock rom if there will be one available,
thanks for the help
Don't take any OTA or flash anything in Odin except MDK. Just give the devs time to update their Roms Then flash as normal. 4.3 just dropped they will update just hang in there. And there will be stock Roms available.
A good choice if you like the stock feel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384362

Hello people of xda,
I've got a verizon galaxy s4 running a version of safestrap, I used to run a stock jelly bean rom but swapped back into touchwhiz with the google home launcher instead and erased the JB partition. I'm thinking it would be refreshing to jump back into stock kit kat.
Really, I'm only after the ability to run a recovery and flash roms :/
My phone is still on ME7 and I'm not able to update through the prompts.
I would preferably like to root/unlock/update(or downgrade)/get a kit kat rom running. Are there still restrictions with unlocking these?
Hopefully someone knows this stuff off hand and can let me know without much trouble
Thanks!

There aren't any KitKat ROMs available for our S4. Furthermore, your only option for custom ROMs is Safestrap.
I suggest you do A LOT of research before you jump in.

I've already done a lot of research, there are plenty of roms based on 4.4., Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies would be ideal. but I dont think they run with safestrap.
So maybe to clarify what I can do from here, is there a current list of roms that are compatible with safestrap?

Your version of Safestrap is compatible with TW 4.2 Roms. The newest version, for MJ7 and MK2 builds, is compatible with TW 4.3 (Hyperdrive only at this point).
You can't revert to an older build and you can only flash Touchwhiz Roms with Safestrap.
You have more reading to do. All of this information has been posted multiple times.

So only roms with a ME7 kernal?, I guess it's back to the ole GPE rom for me -_-
Well that's ****ty. Verizon has no mercy.
Is there an option for me to upgrade to MJ7 via odin and upgrade my version of safestrap? Or is this out of the question?

Lol great minds
Is there any news on stock Lollipop for our VS985? I'd like to switch over,but not to AOSP, it seems most variants have a stock 5.XX ROM.

What are you looking for?. there is no stock lollipop for Verizon yet, verizon has not updated the G3 to lollipop yet. latest verizon stock build is 12B kitkat. if you want lollipop you need to flash an aosp rom.

I was just looking to see if someone got LG Lollipop working on the VS985. Cloudy was able to use the international version (I think) and port it to the VS985.

I see, well you posted in a verizon G3 section, "stock" would mean a release from verizon, which they have not given us yet....
I currently have a rooted Verizon S4 (SCH-I545) running stock Android 4.2.2. I want to upgrade to at least 4.3, but I don't want to lose my root, and I want to keep the stock (Touchwiz?) rom. What are my options for upgrading? Also I am running a baseband version WRUAMDK.
