So I want to put carbon rom on my galaxy s4. (SGH-i337 running rooted 4.4.2)
The current rom I have on it has a locked boot loader so I cannot get TWRP or CWM on it.
I have tried rolling back to 4.2.2 but it will not let me.
I used the app "phone info Samsung" to see what bootloader I had and all the firmware files had the same name. Does this mean I can flash a unlocked bootloader?
I attached a screenshot from the app.

As the title says I'm a noob with non samsung devices.
I updated to 4.3 and unlocked the bootloader thinking it would easier to root the tablet.
What I want is to have a custom recovery and root acces with my stock 10.4.B.0.577 firmware on a 16 gigs wifi only (311) tablet z.
On my moto x I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a stock kernel with a custom recovery and there I flashed super su but I can't find a stock 4.3 kernel for this tab.
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590602 guide but I think I wont gain the custom recovery.
Any ideas?
Did I miss any thread?
Little Kernel maybe?
If Little Kernel is the way to go, I'd like to know if it's independent of the android version I'm running.
I currently am using CM11.0 Nightly with TWRP Recovery. I been using it since I rooted the device. I never flashed stock firmware on my Moto E. So, I need to clear my doubt before I even proceed in flashing the stock firmware.
Q) I have downloaded http://www.filefactory.com/file/j64ntskflct/RETAILDSDSALL_XT1022_4.4.4_KXC21.5-40_cid7_CFC.xml.zip firmware. IS it correct one for Indian version XT1022 ?
Q) I have to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756609 to successfully flash Stock Firmware ?
Q) Can I Flash Stock Firmware on my Linux workstation ? If yes, how ?
Q) After I flash Stock Firmware & then lock the bootloader, the warning logo will disappear ?
Please help.
Thanks.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. The Model is SGH-I337M by Fido. I'm very new to this adding custom ROMS and such. I screwed up on my custom ROM installation. I chose the wrong ROM without a recovery ROM and I accidentally deleted my back up of the stock ROM. I didn't back it up to my PC as well. I know, I should have done that The custom ROM I had on my phone was Cyangenmod 10.1, I believe. I had lollipop on my S4 but it was an upgrade from the phone itself. No ROM installation was needed for that update.
