Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?

Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

For you to get the new update, you atleast need to be on stock rooted with no mods whats so ever and have stock recovery. And you can get update but if you have custom recovery its aborts it

Is MDC the latest stock recovery for the sprint s4 or is there a MF9 version?

So I took the risk and rooted my AT&T S4 with kingo. The only issue is that I can't get a recovery installed. Is there any way to get CWM installed or should I use safestrap?

You can't use either

Not even safestrap? That sucks. Oh well, life goes on. Thanks for the info.

Anyone know how to fix this error? It happens for every ROM.
You need to have TWRP 2.7.

How do u update it. I've looked but didn't quite understand
If you have the correct TWRP 2.7 zip file, install and then reboot Recovery (NOT System.) If you don't have the zip, you should be able to upgrade TWRP using Goo Manager.
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Can I download the zip from the TWRP Web site?
The TWRP site has image files for installation via fastboot.

It's Verizon so it's a vs980 but in settings it says D802? Does that matter?
Yes, it does. The VS980 is the only Verizon model. The D802 is a UK model.

How do I change it? Could or be the rom?
Sounds like you flashed a ROM for the wrong model. I'm not an expert on going back to stock for this phone, since I've had it for only a couple of weeks. There is a lot of info in the LG G2 XDA forum on reflashing stock. My advice: research before doing anything further with your phone, and then follow the recommended steps very precisely. In the meantime, charge it to 100%. EDIT: Did you make a nandroid backup of your original stock ROM before flashing the new one? If so, you could factory reset and restore, both using TWRP.
