You have to Odin back to 4.3 to install rooted 4.4.2.

That's why I said you have to, if you want 4.4.2 rooted that is the only way.

you can wait it out and see if someone comes up with a method (kingo, vroot) to root the 4.4.2
otherwise the 4.3 / flashing modified 4.4.2 is the only avail exploit

No problem, it's a pretty simple process and doesn't take long at all.
Thank you. I was also having this same question. I will now downgrade and start over.

It would be 4.3. Verizon hasn't officially (as of this past second) released the OTA/Release for KitKat 4.4.2) yet.
This find was pure Gold.

There is a few threads in General where people have done it successfully . I don't know if I would be willing to try it , but it has been reported to have worked for at least 2 people so far.

People have done it successfully, but the OTA only installs if your system files weren't modified at all. I couldn't the OTA to install - probably due to changes I made in Xposed. I'm going down the leak KK route for now.

OTA failed for me as well. I have removed or frozen just about anything Verizon. Waiting for the MD5 firmware from Sammobile to download so I can try to Odin the file
SuperSu survival mode
Well, I took the leap.. downloaded the md5 file from sammobile and flashed via Odin.
Alas this is not the way to keep root. I no longer have root. And now have all the bloat from Verizon back on the phone.
So much for trying to be a pioneer.
Now where did I put that hammer.....

Yea me too. I should have used Odin to reinstall 4.3 to stock Then root, then take OTA as my ota wouldn't take.

Does anyone have any tips or what to look for if the update keeps failing?
I had Xposed Framework installed...and I think that's the only thing that I had installed that modifies system files...but I uninstalled it's modifications from within the framework app itself, then unistalled the framework apk, then all of the module apk's, then I disabled SU, but the update still won't take...
Anyone have any ideas without losing all my stuff?
Thanks!

I guess I'm just a little nervous since I've never used Odin before...
But if I follow this thread:

I just want to return to latest JellyBean (MJE) stock, root (with Kingo), and then update to NC4 with root intact.

Just be cautious. It doesn't always work to to update to NC4 w/ root intact. I did it just to see if it was possible and then posted to let everyone know. Kinda wish I hadn't mentioned anything about it.

I just wanted to report back and say everything went great and I am now on NC4 with root! Yay!
Just for the record, in SuperSU I had set SuperSU to DISABLED, then set the Survival Mode to ON, then set default action to DENY. Not sure if that matters, but that's what I had and it worked.
Thanks for the tips everyone!

To clarify, how did you finally get the OTA to take in the first place? I did the same as you - uninstalled Xposed modules and framework, reverted framework-res, disabled SU, unfroze any applications, but OTA failed.
EDIT: Or did you Odin back, then disable SU, then OTA? Just confirming before I do it
Thanks!
If you really want to keep root I would not flash NC4 at all, you're risking the possibility of never getting it back. No one has found any major changes from NC2 to NC4 so you really won't be gaining much but could lose a lot.

Yeah, I hear ya. I generally like to just stay stock+root, though, so staying with the official OTA is generally my preferred route. Might just wait and see what comes out in the next few days.

NJ6 was I believe an update that came out after 4.4.4. I believe 4.4.4 came out as a specific version and then a minor update to 4.4.4 came out which is NJ6. The radio from that upgrade is available somewhere around here to be flashed.
EDIT: I was wrong I believe. NK1 is the newest 4.4.4 build. NJ6 was the 1st 4.4.4 ROM out. NK1 was an update to that.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Any new news in NJ6 rooting yet

What if I flash to an earlier build first, like MJE or something? Shouldn't that allow root access?
bootloader is locked preventing you from going back.
Nothing past 4.4.2 can be rooted, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version to root.

But if you are rooted at 4.4.2 there is a way to get to 5.0 directly and stay rooted. I do not know how but somebody I just saw in this forum said he did it.

Yes correct
1.) How do I return to stock?
And 2.) Where could I download the NI2 Stock Kernel for S5 SM-G900V it is one of the steps on another site to root. This NI2 download link returns a 404 error. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472866

NI2 is 4.4.4. Regardless, you need to go to NCG, 4.4.2 to get root. Odin the full stock NCG tar. Root with towelroot. Then download SuperSU from play store. Update the binaries and reboot. Download busybox from play store, then install. Install safestrap.

The NGC tar file is a little different. Other than that, they left out some of the details.

Shouldn't that be as simple as downloading 4.4.4 firmware and flashing it with ODIN?
The only thing I can successfully flash my phone with it a stock .tar to BOD5 again after I get it suck at the half download screen.

Currently what firmware you are running right now? If you already OTA to OE1 or OG5 you CAN'T ROOT ANYMORE. SO DON'T DO IT.
