Yeap.... a problem called knox ?

It might be possible by following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45319022&postcount=4329 . Then use Odin to downgrade the firmware. I can't confirm weather or not this works. Do it at your own risk.

Not really possible ATM. No tar file available. So you are in a way stuck with 4.3 rooted.

Not really unless cnexus makes a stock odexed rom then we can just flash that, flash stock kernel and stock recovery and unroot. Then do a factory wipe. But we dont have those files so if you modded your phone. You stuck until we can get a working tar or the files needed.

I think I saw in the general section that there is a tar file for Odin now. You may want to check there

Yes, the full MJA tar file is available on sammobile.com, download it and flash with odin.

Unroot return to stock mja clarification

Had installed mja ota awhile back and installed cm10.2 installer from the android market. now trying to go back to stock would flashing the tar file on Odin oc PC version be the safest bet to go?

[Q] Stock recovery missing!!!

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.
