You can flash any custom rom you want ie: Kitkat/Jelly bean/AOSP . but you cannot downgrade your phone using odin mate , You need to download a custom rom and then flash Philz recovery or TWRP , Do a nandroid backup and do a fullwipe and flash the rom.

[Q] from Android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 Directly?

heya Guys,
i have an S4 and i kinda messed up the moden, because wifi istnt working (I tried to flash the mf9 update, didnt realize i was on 4.2.2 und flashed back to MDC which is now working, exept wifi)
i tried to update via Kies but it doesnt connect to my S4. it says connecting for like an hour.
i am donwloading the 4.4.2 STOCK Full firmware (Its bout 1.5 GB Big and i dont think its an OTA-Update)
my questin is, can i flash the 4.4.2 Firmware just over the 4.2.2 with odin?
or must i get the 4.3 update to get it running?
and i read something about flashing back the Stock Recovery and unroot the Device before updating is this true?
Thanks in Advance Bros, hope you can help me.

Just flash.

will i lose any data?
and what about the stock recovery?
thanks for your help

My Recommendation for you in this case
Go to 4.3.
4.4.2 is Very Buggy and will mess up your phone!

Golden eye is 5.0 lollipop and gold finger is 4.4.x kitkat made by the same developer. Yes you can flash the golden eye lollipop ROM from 4.4.4 given you're rooted and have safe strap recovery installed.
