Asking Best buy or AT$T to image older rom

I see some mention of this as a solution, although it look some it's only for those that downgraded to NB5.
.I am trying to understand what would happen if AT&T or BB try to image an older ROM on to the 4.4 leak that some of us are RUNNING, including me.
Assuming AT&T / BB agree to try, has anyone had success this way?

I took my Note 3 in to BB yesterday. I'm running the Leaked MLG 4.4.2.
The Samsung dudes were unable to get NB4 to load over the leak.
My BB didn't even have the NC2 (official KK release) in their system yet.
Going to try a different BB tomorrow.

i had the same issue.i restored to mj5 by following the post here at xda then had bb reflash to nb4. no probs updating to kk via ota.

ATT rep told me that if they attempt to restore a 4.3 image over KK it will brick the phone so they won't do it.
Because my phone wouldn't boot when I brought it in they couldn't confirm the OS version. I had to sign a waiver acknowledging my phone might become a brick and releasing them of liability before they would agree to restore my phone.

there is a working method to get the official OTA to update on your phone, Miata just posted a thread about how to do this after restoring to MJ5 and taking the NB4 updated.
he has a file that you flash and after that the OTA update should not fail anymore. Yall should try it out instead of waiting on BB or Att to do something that you can do.

How to restore to stock

I cant seem to find the mf3 full odin tar to load stock on the active exactly as it would if I updated it from pure stock mf1. I found this but this is mf1 and i didn't think those things are downgradable. the reason is is i have corrupted my system and things are going bad fast i just wanna start over fresh.

Are you on an att device? If so There is no mf3 for us. Its either 4.2.2 mf1 which locks you out of future OTAs and there is also 4.3 ML2 which is rootable and you will be able to receive 4.4 ota if it is ever made available to us. Choose wisely my friend.

yeah. is 4.2.2 mf1 rootable? can any of these install custom roms or safestrap 4.4 roms?

4.2.2,is probably your best bet for now. Safestrap is fully functional on mf1. Some users are unable to create ROM slots on 4.3 so maybe wait till safestrap is fixed then update to 4.3

Got an s5, did towelroot, refuse updates?

I rooted with Towelroot and all is well on 4.4.2. AT&T is trying to push an update. I want to make sure I keep root. Suggestions on whether I should keep refusing the update, or if installing Voodoo OTA rootkeeper will retain my root for newer Kitkat versions, etc., would be much appreciated. Also I am contemplating how to install TWRP safely, so pointers to instructions on how to do so without breaking my new s5 would be great. Thanks as always to the awesome people on XDA who come through every time!

Don't take the update. You should use titanium backup to freeze at&t software update and the security policy update. If you don't, the update will eventually apply itself without your consent.

DO NOT try to install any CUSTOM Recovery! Only SafeStrap will work until Bootloader is unlocked. That means only T/W based ROMS can be flashed.

Can't update to ROM's with android 5.0

I got my phone yesterday. Rooted it today with the TWRP recovery method and everything went fine.
Only problem ius that I can't upgrade my phone to ROMS with android 5.0
Is there a way to get around this? My phone is on 4.4 and I really want to use roms with 5.0 on it.
Any ideas?

Odin to the stock touch wiz 5.0.1 ROM then reroot and you should be able to upgrade to any 5.0 ROM.
You should be on the below baseband

Another picture

are you flashing files for 4.4? If you were on 5.1 then you should try files for 5.1.
And forget about 4.4. for now. You need to flash 5.1 and only after your phone will boot, then look for guide to downgrade.

you many need to flash the stock recovery (from 5.1) first, as your bootloader appears to be LOCKED now. after then, try flashing the stock 5.1 files. if successful, then you can unlock again via sunshine, flash TWRP recovery, then try to upgrade to 6.0. I'm pretty certain you should not try to downgrade, as that tends to cause problems.

Thanks
Just I'm downloading 5.1
