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

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

Ok, thank you!
Hi,
I read the news that 4.4.2 is out. Is it really out?
I have stock ROM rooted using vroot. I've disabled the updates so it's still on 4.3 MK2.
Is there a safe process to upgrade to the latest 4.4.2? Any way to keep root or re-root?
Thanks

There is no root for 4.2.2, nb1. There is a tar file that can be used in Odin. There is also a work around so you can run a 4.4.2 rooted rom. See the general forum

Helping out a friend with an S4 with on NB1. Phone has been sitting for a while. He wants me to set it up with a custom rom or at least root it. Have dabbled with the Verizon S4 but never with the AT&T version.
Can the bootloader be unlocked on NB1?
If not, an you go back to an older release to unlock the bootloader?
Is there a prefered root method for NB1?
Is there any benefit in staying with Nb1 vs taking the OTA?
Thanks

The bootloader stlll cannot be unlocked on ATT S4. We still have a working recovery "safestrap". Safestrap doesnt replace existing stock recovery but is available during normal boot mode through a splash screen on bootup. Use safestrap version 3.72 or 3.75 and flash into stock slot itself. In case of issues, the phone can be recovered by Odin flashing the full NB1 firmware.
NB1 is not rootable. The next version NC1 is rootable with "towelroot". The latest NI1 is not directly rootable but can be rooted by Odin flashing the NC1 kernel.
You can manually update to NC1 and root.
There are a large number of ROMS that can be flashed on I337 including google play edition ones. AOSP/AOKP roms dont work though.

So the easiest would be to Odin to a stock NC1 and you towelroot.
Any links to the stock NC1?
Thanks

We do not have odin file for both NC1 and NI1. There is an update file that can be used with "adb sideload" to update your phone. How to update to NC1 is there in the link I provided.

I tried towelroot to see if it works. It worked without a hitch. So I guesss the newest version works with NB1.
Thanks
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.
