Question for the S4 pros here as I might be missing something.
I rooted my fiance's phone via Kingo Root on 4.3. I am looking to see if there is a way to have root and be able to flash a rom that has the same theme settings as the S5 with 4.4.2.
I personally have a Note 3 running a 4.4.2 rom that I can flash a S5 theme and she would like that for her phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am new to rooting the android. I tried looking around but couldn't find a clear guide.
I am looking on how to update my verizon Galaxy Note 3 that's on version 4.3 MJ7 (Hyperdrive RLS4 rom, model N900V) while preserving the root. Or would I have to loose root for a while and then re-root? Ultimately I am looking to install the newest Hyperdrive rom, but I believe I would have to update the stock firmware first?
Would be great to get some tips on how to do this. Thanks!

This will help you with SIM unlock, if that is what you are attempting.
If it is a bootloader unlock for installing custom ROMS, that is currently not possible with the latest MK2 firmware.
Months ago I flashed my phone (AT&T S4 I337 running MLD baseband) to stock 4.3 ROM (JWR66V). I have TWRP installed as a custom recovery and the phone is working fine. However, I don't have root access when the OS is running. No sure why.
Anyway, I'm bored and there are a few nagging bugs, so want to give Cyanogenmod a shot. My questions for you are.
1) can I just download the appropriate CM release and flash it?
2) Do I need to reroot? If so, whats the best method for me?
If its really risky, I'm not interested. But if it's a matter of just flashing the rom, I'd like to give it a try. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi I used to own a iphone my galaxy s4 is my first phone, amd I have had it for about a year I have rooted it with kingo root and I am on att android 4.3 (i337) anyway I really really want to go back to stock I am on stock rom just rooted I cannot install custom roms I dont know why I might have to unlock my bootloader I have heard something like that but I just want the latest version of android can anyone way me through this I tried using odin I guess I couldnt figure it out andni have already used youtube for help no luck
Since you are on 4.3, there is no way to unlock the locked boot loader.
The locked boot loader prevents the stock recovery and kernel from being replaced.
This means no CM/AOSP/AOKP/GPE(google play edition) rom on the phone. Only touchwiz based Roms work. There is one GPE that works.
