Just curious if it possible to downgrade from an nae ROM to say an mk2 ROM. I'm currently running slim kat and want to try some different 4.3 based ROMs. Thanks...
With custom Roms yes. But not with Odin.

I wanted to know how do i go back to the sprint stock rom after i flashed a 4.4.2 Rom?
Are you saying that you updated to NAE, rooted, and now trying to unroot? If so I don't know of any way to do it since there is no tar for NAE yet.

Im not sure what NAE is but the rom I have is Octo-Kat from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493128 any info is greatly appreicated.
NAE is the new 4.4.2 TOUCHWIZ update that just came out for the phone. That's what I thought you meant. To go back to stock, if you mean stock unroofed. It would depend on what version of touchwiz you were on before. If you were on 4.2 then Odin a 4.2 tar. If you were on 4.3 with Knox then Odin MK2 kernel.

If you were on 4.3 touchwiz previously then yes you are okay to odin the MK2 tar.

Thank you I will try it out.
As the title suggests, is it safe to upgrade my rooted S4 from CM10, to say CM11 AND upgrade the baseband and bootloader and all other firmware to NAE (or whatever the latest is)?
Edit: In short I am trying to get off of MJA because of the deep sleep issue that drains my battery.
If you want TW interface upgrade to the mk2 4.3 jelly bean or to nae 4.4 kitkat.

And if I don't want the TW interface? I plan on upgrading to CM11 or another AOSP ROM, but want to get off of MJA too.

So upgrading the modem will resolve the deep sleep issue? I was before it wouldn't.

Excuse the noob question, but will i Need to install a TW ROM that has that baked in? Or is there a place to get the bootloader? I see a Spring S4 firmware thread, but no bootloader for MK2 or NAE.
Thanks in advance.
You will have to odin the NAE tar file, then reroot your phone, install custom recovery, and then install cm11 or whatever rom you want. This will bring your phone up to the latest firmware and will hopefully solve your deep sleep issue.
Contact this guy and just flash the modem and bootloader via Odin. The download links containing the bootloader too are not on the page but it mentions that he will provide you with them if requested.

And yes, then you can just go ahead and flash CM11. It's what I'm running on mine. Works very well, no complaints.

Hi guys
I have s4 running 4.3 rooted and I want to update it to kitkat can I flash castm rom with flash stock rom 4.4.2 ......?
Thanks

Yes you can flash any custom rom on KitKay but of course you will need a custom recovery
Just to clarify for myself...
I am currently running stock rooted 4.4.2 NAE rom and am wanting to move to a custom one.
To keep from bricking my phone I must install another NAE 4.4.2 rom correct?
Cuz you can't downgrade with Knox right?
What about this JFLTE I'm seeing?
Does it have to be 4.4.2 or have to be NAE or both?
I'm sure these questions are out there somewhere. But I don't see it (please don't flame me for asking)
Thanks!

With CUSTOM Roms you can downgrade. Its only with official Samsung tars that you cannot. And JFLTE is the codename for the Samsung Galaxy s4. And usually only used with AOSP roms.

Just got a Verizon S5. Downgraded it from lollipop to the nk2 version of kitkat 4.4.4, rooted, busyboxed & safestrapped. I was wondering if it is now possible for me to flash twrp or clockwork recovery. Also is it safe to flash vzw based roms via safestrap on my nk2 kitkat build?
