Just looking for the latest stock firmware for my S4. I've tried several sites, even tried paying for premium on one of them (rapidgator) and even that doesn't download successfully. Just want to get this device back up and running.

anyone know how to flash this with odin?
i am on the latest firmware 4.2.2 and i want to root it and install TWRP or CWR recovery is that possible?
i hear that if you are on the latest Firmware you are not able to root due to bootload is locked is that right?

Don't update! 4.2.2 and 4.4.4 are the best versions S4 can have. Search a tutorial for 4.2.2 CWM or Root but don't update, you will regret after

You need to download LGNPST and the Bins for Creating those partitions required and installing TWRP recovery.
Now after that , simply mount this zip flashable on sd card , and flash it using recovery. If it works , then you'll be left with a rooted phone with unlocked bootloader.
If you flash the stock firmware through LGNPST , most likely you will loose rot access and unlocked bootloader.
now wat??
Okay so now I will be rooting my phone with framaroot...then Wat??? Any simple! war of upgrading the android version??

If you are only trying to update to official jb and do not need root or custom recovery you would use the file linked in your first post with lgnpst program.

No if you unzip that file it is a tot file. Are you rooted with custom recovery installed? Also please link to the installer so I can see how it works.

You will need to unzip the file from g33k3r and rename from tot to bin for use with lgnpst.

You need to be rooted to use the installer, personally I stay away from those kind of apps. You could use the file from g33k3r with lgnpst which will be stock jb with no root and locked bootloader which means you cannot modify or delete bloatware without getting security error softbrick. Or you can use the teenybin with lgnpst then flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871&highlight=snowleopardjb which will be stock jb with root and unlocked bootloader, if you want to delete bloat or try custom ROMs in the future you will be all set.

Thanks.....for now I will root my lg og with framaroot.apk....what advantages will I have rooting it??
Will I be able to uninstall blotware...and my phone is an unlocked version...will their be problem after rooting??
New firmware is out NJ6. I can't get the OTA yet but it is available from KIES. Hopefully this will solve all of my signal issues.
I saw this on sammobile as well...most likely this will close the current root loophole...will wait patiently until an awesome developer can create a rooted 4.4.4 rom.
Yes, I did lose root but that is okay with me if it helps my signal. Haven't been able to test it in problem areas yet.

I actually have 4.4.4 rooted right now on my device but safestrap doesn't work properly now. It starts to load but then reboots into OS.
The first 4.4.4 rom I made would boot, but only had a black screen (kernel modules didn't match boot.img), then I tried the nj6 boot.img and got the warning about unauthorized kernel. So, I decided to try one more thing. I reflashed the pre-rooted 4.4.4 rom I made and then flashed all of the 4.4.4 firmware in Odin EXCEPT for the system partition. This allowed me to boot into my rooted nj6 4.4.4 rom.

I was having the same issue when I tried to port Sprint 4.4.4 It would boot but I get black screen... Are you sure you flashed the 4.4.4 bootloader?
I would try to make a deodex 4.4.4 system flashable zip and flash and then right after it reboot to odin and flash the 4.4.4 kernel might work without flashing the bootloader and that way we have a working SS.
Kind of a newb to Note 3 firmware upgrades. I just downloaded the new NJ6 firmware from Sammobile. What's the best way to flash this?

If you're a newb I recommend to stay out of it if you want root and ss. We waited all this time we can wait more to have a stable rooted with ss working version

The only way to tell if it will work is to have someone flash just the system when its a flashable zip and then reboot to download and flash kernel via odin

I tried that and it didn't work. The NC4 bootloader won't let you use the NJ6 boot.img. It gives the unauthorized software message.
Hey.
My first Sony device. Have been reading about z2 in forums for some days.
I had my device D6503 on 4.4.2 Nordic and now rooted with easy tool and working.
However I get ota update notifications from Sony update center and I assume it is an 4.4.4 update.
How do I update without losing root access. I must have root because of adaway and some other apps.
This seem some different from Galaxy devices and tools used for that matter. Z2 is a fantastic device tho.
Do I need to download latest firmware from another thread that I found in this forum which collects stock ones, and use flashtool.net to flash firmware? In case, what option to thick when beginning to keep root whilst it updates? And if I can keep apps data? Maybe titanium to back up, if only choice.
If some one could send me to the right direction, as I wasn't able to find what I was looking for.
Takk you
The easiest way is install recovery, download 4.4.4 rooted zip from development section and flash the zip through recovery.

i just received my phone from getting sboot downgrade at mobiletech videos... it was on 4.1.2 also. download the twrp manager app in playstore. update to 2.8.1 ( i think thats the recommended one for some AOSP roms) flash the new version. reboot. download whatever 4.4.2 rom. make sure its rooted and knox is removed. move to sd card. boot to recovery & install. if you have wifi issues you'll need to flash MJ9 firmware. and firmware only. or you'll lock your bootloader. some say you can flash via recovery but odin is what most recommend. i went from 4.1.2 to 5.0.1 w/o having to do the firmware update and i dont have any radio or wifi issues. good luck

There will be no bricks if you get the OTA on rooted devices. Reading skills and some tools which you find here at XDA. To get back to Stock you will need the last Firmware you used on your phone. After download use Huawei File extractor and extract stock recovery and system.img and flash it via ADB (I am telling u the short version) . You will find all information and tools here on XDA.
