i did but it says that if you are rooting 4.4.2 it will not back them up my question is if the rooting process can damage the EFS

Back up EFS before flashing 4.4.2 - it puts 2 files on the SD Card. Or use TWRP to back up EFS whilst on JB.

There is no known way of rooting unless you flash the MF3 modem and use Voodoo Rootkeeper

[Q] Can't root after upgrading to 4.4.2 leaked firmware

Please help! Lost root after upgrading to 4.4.2. When I tried to regain root by flashing CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar, boot loop resulted. It seemed I've lost stock recovery too. After removing the battery and switching to download mode, then vol down button, I managed to boot my device normally. Yet I still can't root my phone. Can anyone advise me on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Mine is N9005XXUENA6,
Looks to me like you flashed the one for 4.3, they both have the same name.
Download this file and flash thru odin.

[Q] S4 Won't Turn On?

Hey guys, so I recently failed flashing a rom onto my phone, and now it won't turn on at all. I'm pretty sure the battery still has something left in it, and I've been trying to turn it on to the odin download mode, but the phone isn't giving a response nor is my computer recognizing it. Is there any fix?
What did you try to flash? Pretty sure you hard bricked it.

Live and learn. Always check what you're flashing and only flash what is for your specific device. All s4's aren't the same.

Yup. Just questioning now, I looked at the website and they offer to allow me to chose a rom for them to install. Can they install CM11 or CM10 even if I have the MK2 S4, which only allows TW roms to be flashed?

If you're on mk2, no. I don't think they can, but can they flash mdl on your phone? That would be cool.

is it possible to downgrade from android l back to 4.4.2 on 900F ?

I tryed to do so in odin, no success.

Dude, try to flash it with odin and this one-file stock ROM:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712462437
After you flash, you will get boot loop. Then remove the battery for few seconds and put it again and go to stock recovery and do wipe data/factory reset.
If I did it, so you can too.
I want to go back, too. Will this trigger Knox?

Ow, wow, thanks. Im quite new to S5 (and Knox) (coming from three years of S2). So sorry if this is a silly question, but du you need a custom recovery to do that? I am currently fully Stock with the polish Android 5.
