Missed android so I traded my iPhone 5 for an S4. It was already updated and on NC1. Need root for an app that I use at work a lot through the day. Can someone either guide me step-by-step or give me the links to do it? Thanks in advance.
Look in the general forum for index, all things mk2, nb1. Treat nc1 just like nb1. You'll have to down grade, install safestrap and then flash a rooted rom.

is there a way i can downgrade then install a recovery to flash an aosp/google play edition 4.4.2 rom?

There are plenty of threads with information in the general section, including a thread convienently named All Things MK2 And NB1. Make sure to check that and read more before asking questions unless you're on an I337m, in which case you can disregard anything I've said ;P

Hello, I have just bought a Galaxy S4 i337 unlocked from Amazon. Still on 4.3 and MK2 firmware. I have rooted it and successfully installed Safestrap. Which roms can I flash with it? Also, when I flash a custom rom will I lose the Sim unlock and is there something I can flash to unlock it if so? I will be using this on Straight Talk. I know there are threads about these things but I keep finding different answers. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
First, you won't lose the sim unlock by flashing roms. As far as roms, look in the general forum for index all things mk2, nb1

I managed to root my AT&T S4 successfully which is half the battle. I haven't flashed on this device yet but did a few times on my older Droid X. I am thinking of flashing GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4 that I found on this site under ROMS. Is there like an easy process to flash roms?
Thanks
You need to tell us what firmware version you're on. Different versions have different methods to flash roms.

I originally rooted my i337 s4 using motochopper but then updated to kit kat and of course it wiped my root. Recently I rooted using towel root now I'm rooted again. I would like to flash an official Rom, but not sure the steps I need to go through first.
