You'll need to reflash recovery after flashing this via Odin.

U can go to sammobile.com and download the firmware u are looking for and flash using Odin 3.07
If u already flashed omega 7 u myte wanna go to the latest available omega ofcourse it's more optimized and bloatware free Rom rather then using stock firmware
Well it's my opinion you can decide urs

Hello,
I am currently using MGA stock rom, CF-Auto root and philz recovery. I wanna ask can i flash MKE using latest mobile odin and escape from the new knox bootloader stuf?
My Post is very similar to yours
i would NOT recommend trying to update to 4.3 using ODIN as you risk getting the new bootloader. open the odin file with winrar or something to ensure it doesnt have boot.img (or .bin? not sure which) before flashing
seems i have a new rom to download and slim some more.
I wanted to flash using mobile odin and MO do not flash bootloader
sounds like you might end up with the same problem as me then. where the rom will update but the modem will not be a close enough match and wont update.
i will be keeping my eyes on your developments and post if i figure anything else out at my end.
No it's not possible. Just stay away from official firmwares and flash only custom roms.
Why do you want to flash using odin? Just download the pre rooted cwm rom they are knox free.

Hi...
I am a nexus user.. When a Google update comes out. I just look for rooted version of update and I install it. Or I install ota and reroot.
Now I have s4.. Rooted.. And cwm recovery. Mk6 is out... I Dont know what to do. I Dont want to erase my setup. Do I just wait for someone to post the update? Flash it with cwm or Odin? Do I unroot first or get a version that is rooted?
Any help to direct me with my options for upgrading so mk6 without losing cwm or root would be appreciated.
Thanks.

best option is to update the baseband using the modem file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542043 which you install using Odin
then flash a 4.3 rom such as GE using CWM
this avoids any issues with the OTA or stock 4.3 firmware, retains cwm and root and gives you the functionality of 4.3
Thanks for the reply and info. Ok.. So modem I can follow instructions in the thread above. No problem. But where do I get mk6 flashable file? What is GE? I am currently on rooted samsung stock 4.2.2. Is GE a custom ROM? Normally when flashing a custom ROM u need to start clean as far as I read. Can I just update my stock with stock? Any one takes ota from samsung and adjust to prevent losing root and cwm?
Thanks

Just figured you mean Google edition .. I understand I can go Google (which needa wipe) but that is not what I am asking now. I would like to update my samsung image to mk6 (4.3 without wipe). If I wanted to go to Google image I would have updated long ago when 4.4 came out but I have been waiting for Samsung's update.
How do samsung rooted stock users update their phones?

Hey guys was hoping to get a little help. I am currently running foxhound 4.1 on my S4. The baseband version is I9505XXUFNA5. Its OS 4.4.2. In the process of flashing this rom according to the instructions on the dev thread said i had to flash a different bootloader and modem before flashing the rom. This process worked fine and i have been running without issue. Work has now decided that they want everyone on Android 4.3 so we can use apps they made to make our job easier so i need to go back to 4.3. I attempted this last night and when i try to flash a 4.3 rom via cwm it returns an error saying that the bootloader is the incorrect one and fails and i have to reinstall foxhound again to make the phone usable. Any one know how i go about getting back to 4.3 or where to get the correct bootloader and modem so i can flash them via odin and then install Androind 4.3? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers Jeff
Nobody can downgrade from 4.4.2
WTF really?? Cant i flash 4.3 bootloader and modem and then go back to 4.3?

Nope not at this stage cannot downgrade to older bootloader, sorry.
The best you can do is install a 4.3 custom rom. Try an echoe rom, version 12.1 the final bean I think should do.

First off you're in the wrong forum. Next, you're on the NJ5 bootloader so you can only install safe strap recovery and only boot custom ROM that is based on Samsung touch wiz. I suggest finding an ODIN file that'll update you to a newer firmware. OTA probably isn't working because you've rooted the phone.
Thanks man
