Nope. Once you are on 6.0, you're stuck.

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...

I've tried getting the OTA update and i keep getting an error. I do have root, but that shouldn't stop me from installing it right? I should just lose root once it is installed i believe. What could be the problem? Thanks for the help.

use the update guide (found here) and install it with ss. if not you will loose root and there is no known 4.4.2 root method for the gs4. if you dont care about root flash the mk2 odin file (found here) and take the update.
Thank you so much

From what I gather 4.4.2 isn't user friendly when one is trying to use it for t-mobile. Why can't I Odin back to 4.3?

Bc when you took the 4.4.2 you flashed a new bootloader, therefore locking the phone and not being able to flash back to 4.3. Thats why there is a BIG STICKIE thread that says NOT to flash OTA's
EDIT: had wrong model

Hello everyone, as we all know sprint has come out with a new update for our phones. My question is, does anyone have just the BL/modem where you can Odin them without losing your data? Everyone I see seems to wipe your phone to stock and you lose root. I thought there was a way to flash these without losing anything. Am I wrong?

Care to share? I need a modem for ASOP 6.0.1 that will let me still get 4G LTE on a N900P.
Right now I have Bootloader NAB and baseband NH7
