Hello, Sorry if this has been asked before.
I am currently on android 4.4.2 rooted and would like to update to 4.4.4 and keep root.
Can any one suggest me a proper way to do this update ?
Thanks
There is a thread on this in this forum. You have to flash the NB1 kernel I think it is, root, then flash back to the kernel you're on.

Hello guys,
I installed the ROM under this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288531&page=13
The flashing of the ROM was successful but the only thing that it's not working with this flash is that I'm unable to turn on my wifi feature.
Is there a way to fix this without remodifying the ROM?
Any help will do. Thanks guys!!

First just an FYI questions go in the QA section. This will be moved there by a Mod so just giving you a heads up. Were you on MDC or MDL before you flashed the rom?

That's what I was thinking. That Rom is MDC based. So you have MDL Firmware but MDC System. If you want to stick with that rom here is what I would do. Make a backup. Odin the stock MDC tar twice, don't ask just better this way . Install custom recovery back on. Restore only the system. You should be fixed. Or you could probably get away with just installing the MDC Kernel. You can find the tar and kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256514
Flash a custom kernel and your Wifi will work.

That's a great suggestion there crawjr. I will try the kernal suggestion first if anything. Even though i feel uncomfortable messing with the kernel system. Sorry for the noob questions I haven't been on this page for ages since the G2 was first released lol. :good:
so i tried it and now i have soft bricked s4 . now i'm downloading 4.4.2 firmware to back it to live
I can't find any solution for downgrade , so it's not possible?
i want to unlock it , that's why i need older version of firmware ...
or will this work on 4.4.2?

You can only download by custom Roms but not by official tar. Once on 4.4.2 you cannot go back via tar. And search that thread. Your question about unlocking on 4.4.2 has already been answered.

Hi all, Does the kernal change from NC1 to NJ4 during the update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4? Just wondering, as I'd like to flash the Touchwiz Rom based on the 4.4.4 platform.
Thanks,
K
I would suggest Odining to NB1 and stay there since 4.4.2 roms don't play so nice with 4.4.4 Yes the kernel will change. If you really want to update, READ THE INDEX. Sorry to say this, but you should search first before and then after, if you haven't found your answer, ask questions. Also, wrong section :/
PLEASE MOVE THREAD TO Q&A SECTION MODERATORS.

Thanks for the reply, but since AT&T's i337 has been updated to 4.4.4, I was considering moving to one of the custom TouchWiz ROMS (4.4.4) following a stock update from my current custom ROM. Therefore, I would not be moving from a custom 4.4.2 to a custom 4.4.4. I HAVE read the forums, thanks.
As an aside,I appreciate the advice, but, based on the title of the forum, I thought my question was correctly placed.
I unfroze sdm. Received update and applied it. It just installs and errors.
I was hoping it would just wipe my root and install 5.0
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
To update you need to flash a stock tar using Odin, which would include the stock ROM and stock firmware, then update from that, but you would lose root. Or you could wait for someone to upload the firmware and ROM.

I was successful and currently using lolipop.
As a heavy xposed user and a phone must always be rooted mentality, i can report that lolipop is wonderful and i feel no need for xposed.
Lolipop on Verizon.
Hi i just updated to lolipop on verizon but i lost root. i haven't been able to find how to re-root? any suggestions? thanks so muc for your help!
Please excuse these (probably) common questions. I have a rooted SGH-I337 running NC1 firmware, currently with Safestrap installed (stock otherwise). I'm interested in unlocking the bootloader if a method has been developed yet for this firmware.
If not, how can I install OTA updates? I don't need an in-depth explanation if there's already a thread on this -- just a link will do. My searches weren't coming up with anything definitive.
Finally, has anyone been able to install Lollipop from this setup? If so, a link would be awesome.
Thanks everyone, and my apologies for the ridiculous questions that I am sure are common around here.

Yes, they are common. You can not unlock the bootloader. If and when an ota comes out you're most likely going to have to flash the nb1 tar file and return to stock before the ota will work. Lollipop is not out for the i337 yet. They're are some custom Roms but they don't work in safestrap.
