At the moment there is no confirmed exploit for 4.4.2 unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Still holding out hope that someone can figure it out. If not, I'm still perfectly happy with the update. My phone is substantially snappier.

How do you root if you have an unlocked bootloader?
-Thanks

XT905 KitKat update

Hi all. Can i flash thru RSD-Lite latest sbf for XT907 to get the KitKat bootloader and kernel? Would my phone work same as now? Is it possible to flash this upgrade?
Due to XT905 don't have any OTA updates, and CM is going to support only KitKat kernel/bootloader - i want to try.

You should be able to. But, right now, its better to stay with jellybean because of the ROM availability and all of that stuff. That's why I downgraded from kk to jb

Yes, you could. But I believe the Modem included in this update won't work on the XT905 and the JB Modem you have installed won't work with KikKat.

[Q] Will updating my modem get rid of Wind mobile frequencies?

I have an i337M S4 from Rogers and it's unlocked. It works on Wind too(Going to guess the seller flashed that AWS mod).
Can I go ahead and just flash a modem TAR and a bootloader TAR from Odin(WITHOUT losing Wind 1700AWS support)? I want to update my modem and BL because they are old now. I backed up my EFS using TWRP but pretty sure that is not the modem.
Help please

Flashing with odin will not re-lock the sim. Once it's unlocked it'll remain unlocked

I think you didn't get what I was saying. This thing has an AWS mod flashed into it.

[Q] Flashing AT&T S4 to stock rom?

I want to know if I flash a stock ROM such as lollipop to my unlocked AT&T phone, would it relock to default network? I unlocked it by purchasing an unlock code from a website.
thanks

No, once you're unlocked it will stay unlocked even if you flash the stock firmware with Odin.

Downgrade

If you're using CM12.1 with JB bootloader than find a stock rom and flash with odin. But it's hard to find a JB firmware now.
If using LP bootloader you can only downgrade to KK.
Dial *#0011# if it could show your bootloader version.
Else install samsung phone info from playstore and screenshot as below.

If i want to downgrade to kk i just flash the official using odin ?

There are many posts reporting they successfully downgrade to kitkat from lollipop. For error free use the same region/country firmware of your phone(check your phone csc). Did you ever flash lollipop on your phone? Because it doesn't means that if you're running cm12.1 your phone has lollipop bootloader. The last time i check it can even run with jb botloader.
Myself however would refrain myself from downgrading as it could take some efforts to recover in case it's unsuccessfull
