So I've been bouncing back and forth between 4.2 and 4.4 playing around with stuff. Last night I downloaded kk update as I've done several times. Except this time it wouldn't update and a messagep popped up saying I'm suspected of rooting. So be warned, at&t has probably changed the update package.

You can use that method to restore MJ5. I have done that many times.

There is no way to downgrade
I think u could downgrade... check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595457

If you have mj4 I don't believe a downgrade is possible
Though you can downgrade from mi5 no problem.
The stock mi3 file is still up at the Samsung update website. I don't remember the link at the moment.

Oh OK thanks bro... I tried to revert once before and it always fails in Odin... Just making sure it wasn't me doing something wrong and that it just wasn't possible

If you're on mj4, you cannot go back to any previous version.

Yup I knew that was previously the case, and was pretty sure there was no workaround.
I hate when they do cap like that to the bootloader.
I'm going to take that as confirmation, as I knew back when mj4 first came out and I was maintain a Knox safe root thread. There were a few issues of people tripping Knox Even on a complete stock uprooted phone attempting to downgrade to run the Vega files.
Just hadn't looked into it since then wasn't sure someone hadn't worked around it.
Though why you would want to go back to mi3 is another question.

Yup, there are a few stock mj4 options (with or without root)
Check the development section.
I personally usually use Odin to flash the full official Samsung mj4 tar.

Just to go Security>Permission control > disable root permission
If you are using any third party root permission managers like SuperSu
Just uninstalling them would work.

Using this method you can manually update your phone and it downloads the 24A KDZ to your PC. The KDZ stacks up to 2gb. I haven't completed the install yet (using hotspot to download KDZ on laptop), but I would assume this does a complete factory reset. Will update when I have completed it.

I know you want to do this,but I'd think about it. It's possible you'll lock your device down. I'd wait til the devs get this first. And look for news from them that it's safe and you can downgrade if needed. My 2 cents.

While there is a good chance it will still work. It might not. But if it didn't root would be obtained soon most likely. The bigger worry is the boot loader. No custom recovery potentially. If last minute stuff was added etc... Might be fine. But I wouldn't take a chance on locking my device til I was sure. S4 been locked since July. Many a tear over there for taking ota.

Good to know. I went ahead and restored to 10B via TOT method (I had the intial hacked 24B without the kernel and what not). Performed the update via KDZ per Droid Life article and lost root. Re-rooted via IORoot25 and all is up and running. I'm content with Google Experience Launcher and Hotspot hack. Might try and flash TWRP via the previous 24A methods.

There's an app called autorec that takes care of the recovery on official kit Kat. I manually installed OTA and have twrp. I'm also running a stock kit Kat kernel with linaro.

FreeGee won't work with 24A so you'll have to use Flashify or manual way like JackPotClavin's directions on his CM11 post (step 8)

I don't see how they updated using the KDZ method. What steps did they take? I think they just plugged in their phone and it just worked somehow.

Step 1: Download and install LG Unified Driver for Windoze PC
Step 2: Download the 2GB VS98024A file on your PC and move the file into LG PC Suite directory
Step 3: Put your phone in "Download mode" (see Youtube video link above)
Step 4: Download and install LG PC suite and follow its directions (see XDA link above to learn how to use LG PC Suite)
Step 5: Profit
Oh, and it helps to RTFM :silly:
The file has been approved by Verizon. Just saw it on my phone but it's not 2gb, more like 690mb.

In the past week on 2 occasions I woke up with a notification from Tmobile saying it was the download for the 4.4.2 Kickat update. So I downloaded it (both times) then clicked install. It booted into recovery and said it was applying the update, then it would reboot to the phone. Then I'd check and I was still on 4.2.2. I called tmo today and they said they're having tons of trouble getting this update out and it's not an issue with my phone. Did This happen to anyone else....?
