Updating MF3 to NB1

Hey guys,
I've got a rooted s4 with mf3 on it currently and was wondering what the safest way to get to nb1 would be. I have no recovery installed. Just rooted and left it alone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

First try unrooting in the supersu app

Kitkat update

Hi guys
Im trying to update my phone to kitkat.
The OTA update of AT&T doesnt even show there is an update .It says current softwae is up to date.
so i thought to put a stock rom via Odin.
Can i use the i9505rom from sammobile?

No, you can't flash the i9505 firmware. There are nb1 and mk2 tar files available. Look in the general forum

Use Odin and flash either the MK2 or NB1 update, and then follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680868 to get to rooted 4.4.

Thanks for the reply!
Where can I find the MK2 or NB1 Update? Is there one safer to update to than the other (as I see different instructions for each) ?
Thanks again!

MK2 is a little easier, since you won't have to downgrade. You can find links to both in the OP of the All things MK2 and NB1 thread under "return to stock".

MK2 is the last firmware version with an exploitable kernel that allows for a direct rooting method, e.g. saferoot. You can flash the MK2 Odin .tar in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+): http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358541050
From there you can obtain stock, rooted, NC1(latest 4.4.2 firmware) by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52167774&postcount=3

S4 Back to Stock, TowelRoot NC1(I Think)

Right now I am running a AT&T Galaxy S4 rooted with towel root 4.4.2, and I have to send in my phone for repair because the screen is messed up. I think it is running the NC1 bootloader, as under Setting->About Device-> Baseband version and it is i337UCUFNC1. I have looked over the ODIN back to stock guides and do not see a stock rom for the NC1. Was wondering if its alright to use the NB1 update or should I be looking for something else. The build number is KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1. Thank you for any help.

There is no full firmware for NC1. We only have an update over NB1.
You can safely flash NB1 using Odin.

Gotcha, thank you for the clarification .

So I can grab any NB1 stock file? Also is there any reason why not to grab the file from Sam Mobile?

Sammobile for some reason doesnt have the newer firmwares, has only MDB and MDL.
