Hello, I've got an I9505 MH8 stock rom 4.2.2. Rooted with safe root and knox not voided.
I want to know if it is possible to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4 but maintaining my current bootloader so it can be possible to downgrade.

Yes. I m on old bootloader to. I m using the custom rom echoe v16 the 4.4.2. All works fine. You should try.

I'm also on old bootloader. You just need to find a custom rom, whether Touchwiz or AOSP based, that doesn't require you to upgrade to the new bootloader. Use a custom recovery and flash it.
An example is Goldeneye rom found in Android Development Forums.
The echoe v16 doesn't require new bootloader, but on instalation you need to chose custom and on kernel option chose jeboo kernel

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?

No you do not need to be rooted before hand - flash custom recovery then the custom rom.

Help me!!! I need to Know, How do can i Downgrade from Android 4.3 to 4.1.2?
Why would you want to downgrade? The Galaxy S4 shipped with Android 4.2.2 so in terms of stock ROMs there's no way of getting 4.1.2 not sure about custom ones.

I'm pretty sure you can't downgrade to official 4.1.2 cause of knox bootloader. Besides I don't think S4 ever had 4.1.2 anyway.

You should be fine by flashing this stock kernel via recovery.
That's why you should make backups.
Hi guys

Yes you can flash any custom rom on KitKay but of course you will need a custom recovery
Hi all I'm in Australia with an unlocked XSA (unbranded) GT-I9505 knox flag tripped... who cares lol.... I have never flashed new bootloaders but plenty of modems.
Does it matter which bootloader is used to flash and upgrade to 4.4 as stock firmware is still unavailable

Hey mate, I'm running Echoe rom v34, and never have had to change bootloader or anything like that to get custom roms to work, echoe rom is upto 4.4.2.
