No it will not. Download which ever zip you want from this thread. Deodexed or odexed. Do Nodata wipe if you want to keep your things.

4.2 to 4.4.1

Howdy, was looking to update my nexus from 4.2.2 to 4.4.1. I remember when I went from 4.1 to 4.2 I had to use my PC to update the boot loader first. Is this also true for this update or can I just flash my new ROM and gapps after a good wipe?

Bump! Anyone?

The proper way without any problem is flash factory image via wugfresh tool kit and it should update your device kernel bootloader android os every thing and it is very easy too.
Please ignore my spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.

Because it's the latest update released by Samsung, and it's better than MK6

I still recommend QuickPic. It's better than most stock and other Galleries.

Can you provide us Odin-flashable kernel only please?
Thank you. :good:

Thanks! Really good gallery! Just like stock gallery.

Today I flashed this firmware. The first thing I noticed is the SELinux Status that use to be there in my previous ML4 firmware is missing. Gallery is less laggy than ML4. I did a clean install. I rooted it and flash Philz Recovery and Boeffla kernel but even after that my phone status is always official. Not only this, everything in download mode is shown as official. I am still confused.

Seems like you don't know. After rooting and using custom kernel and recovery, the status of your phone will be shown as 'Custom' and you won't be able to receive OTA updates anymore. But in my case even after all the modifications, my phone status is still 'Official' and this is what surprise me.

[Q] Does towelroot still work on S5 with most up to date software?

Model Number:
SM-G900V

3.4.0

Can I still root with towel root or am I **** out of luck for an easy root? I'm on Mac and don't have much knowledge on rooting but Xposed and some other things are really tempting.

No, it will not work on 4.4.4 but you can follow the guide here and downgrade to 4.4.2, use towel root, and then go back to 4.4.4 and be rooted.

Which one normal or did it have 444 in its name

Normal.
I checked Your idea and Youre right. It was problem with kernel. Flashed oggymax for test and it worked.
In Your opinion what is the best kernel to flash and keep thermal control coz my i9505 like to overheat
