Specifically ive been running the virgin google play edition rom and wondering if im gonna have any troubles when it comes to kit kat. 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.

Flashing stock recovery I9505G for OTA updates

Hey guys,
Can you help out with a newbie question.
Im running android 4.4.2 on a rooted I9505 flashed with GPE edition rom. Im currently running I9505XXUEMKF baseband on a I9505 recognised as I9505G. On meteor network in Ireland.
My problem is Id like to get OTA updates, but these fail as I have TWRP installed. As I understand it this can be overcome by reflashing the stock recovery. Is this correct?
So my question then is how to know which stock recovery to flash? & can I do a backup of the current one I have installed in case something goes wrong?
Looking at this thread in development subform. & several are listed.

[Q] Recently installed 5.0 on my S4 and now I'm stuck

Basically, I lost my root when updating to Lollipop GPE on my regular S4. I didn't realize this before I deleted my backup (stupid idea I know).
I did find this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794879) which, from what I assume, I can just install and my phone will go back to 4.4.4 rooted but here is my problem. Since I installed Lollipop GPE rom on my phone the model number is now I9505G even though I originally didn't buy that version of my phone, so do I flash the I9505G rom (GPE) or the regular I9505?
If it helps, I'm with bell in Canada and I was installing jfltecan roms before this all occured.

Jfltecan is refered to the model: SGH-i337M. Try to reflash the stock ROM for your model via ODIN.

Can I install custom roms on my Galaxy S4 OK2?

I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4
Android Version 5.0.1
Build I337UCUGOK2
I've already unrooted it.
My question is, can I install custom roms to it?
I read somewhere on xda that I can only install roms based on the base one using Safestrap.
I really wanted to install cyanogenmod, but on the page there's the warning ''you must be on build I337UCUAMDB or I337UCUAMDL or this will not work''
Any help would be appreciated.

Not possible without unlocking bootloader
I am in the same boat. Unfortunately at the moment there is no way to get CyanogenMod from OK2. I have spend so many hours trying for the same. The conclusion is that the bootloader is locked and there is no known method to unlock the bootloader on I337 yet.
