So I am running SuperChargedHatka rom and they just updated to the new ota. Ok my question is are we better off flashing back to stock. Relocking. Updating. Then unlocking again? Are there things in the update we can't get with custom roms?

Anyone? Is it more beneficial to go back to stock everything and accept the update then unlock again and install a custom ROM? Or is there no real benefit.

If you relock, stock, update then unlock and flash a rooted Rom, make sure it has the update in it or you will possibly flash the old rom files over the new..

You can't get the new radios or hboot just by flashing the ROM. So if you want them then you have to lock, run ruu, update, and unlock again. Kind of a pain but just the way it is right now. If you have the unlock bin you originally got from HTC it does make it a little easier.

Alright cool. That's what I was wondering. Too bad flashgui won't flash radios too

Check out my guide for doing just that its in my sig
I have a Verizon S4 and I am on 4.2.2 on an I545 VRUAME7. Is this how to get back to the original before the OTA to be able to unlock the bootloader? I found thisd but not sure if that is what that does http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289325 I am not rooted right now if that matters and I really don't wanna screw anything up but I really want to be able to flash custom roms
Thanks, Dan
No....the OTA ME7 you CAN NOT go back to before the OTA ME7. You are stuck till someone finds a way.... Sorry for the bad news

You can root me7 tho.

For what you want, you are out of luck. You cannot revert back. You cannot install a recovery. You cannot install a custom rom.

Rootkeeper was unable to properly restore root.
Going to have to try and reroot tonight.

stuck on recovery
I did the OTA and I got stuck on recovery, not even allowed me to restore to previous roms, I'm downloading the stock rom right now to unroot OTA and root again, anybody know what the OTA brings?

I'm sure it's to disable hd voice. I've had to manually disable hundreds in the past week.

I re-rooted with io root after update.
I did not see any OTA update for my phone? Can you do System update (did not work) or have to wait for OTA?

Glad to hear it worked smoothly for you! I'm about to do the same.
EDIT: Smoothly re-Rooted
I can also confirm IO Root worked like a charm after this update.
So best thing to do is return to stock the re-root??
I was stock rooted. Took the update. Re rooted. That's all.

Just letting you all know that one of the changes it makes is to enable lte bands 26 and 41
another is it removed twrp as my recovery and replaced it with the stock recovery.

Guys...it takes like a minute to reroot using iorootv11. Just do it after the OTA update. There is no point of trying to use apps to try to preserve root when it is so simple.
Any chance we'll see a TWRP flashable version of stock ZV8? I'd use the LG tool to start over, update to ZV8, root, etc., but then I'd have to apply all the xposed mods, set things how they were etc. I tried flashing stock recovery, then doing the update the normal way, but it led to a bootloop and didn't work.
Edit - Or can someone tell me how they flashed stock recovery, where I can get the recovery, and whether or not it worked? I got my stock recovery zip from a Sprint user in the the TWRP thread, but could only flash it via flashify. Flashing the zip via TWRP would not work.

Is there anyway to run the update from Verizon on TWRP? Every time it tries to update it reboots into the custom recovery. I know the file for the update is on the phone. Does anybody have the name of it or how to run it?

If you want to take the OTA you need to revert back to stock recovery.
There is a ROM that is pretty much the same as the 4.4.2 OTA in the development section that can be flashed via TWRP
Hey if you want PM me and I'll help you revert back to stock with keeping your root and updating to KitKat and getting your recovery back. There is no way at all to use the Verizon OTA with a custom recovery.. It is rebooting to TWRP because by default when flashing the OTA it is meant to boot to your stock recovery which is designed to flash carrier updates. When it hits TWRP it fails because it sees that its not the stock recovery. You need to either fastboot back the stock recovery which is in Flyhalfs recovery thread or you need to RUU.. But in any event I'm here if you want some solid help and I can get it done quickly for you...

you have the MDK bootloader? you know this bootloader can be used with TWRP and can flash AOSP ROMs, right?
Let me rephrase what I was saying I have the Verizon s4 which was MDK bootloader but since it has been updated to nc5 and k1 and so on and I was just looking for a list of ROMs
To use with safestrap however I'm trying to find an mdk odin file and go back to that stock mdk and loki the phone

Once you've upgraded past mdk there is no going back.

Yeah, but back to the original question--is there a list of ROMs 'flashable' with Safestrap?
