A big thanks to the developer for this flawless root method for my I9500 on UBUAMDK.
The Cofface method did install the recovery but did not fully root.
This roots perfectly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41042903&postcount=20&nocache=1&z=5328519083559513
Curious though:
XXUAMDK: 526212
UBUAMDK: 534999
So yes, while this method will work, UBUAMDK still looks a newer kernel based on the changelist. No idea what was changed (as usual), but at this early stage, they're probably doing quite a bit of bug fixes.
I'll ask Ivan in his thread, thanks for the heads up.

May be they are just mentioning the change log in kernel and changes are made on both kernel and rom sides.
But whatever, just flashed this custom kernel and it didn't brought back the red tint issue (for me), so it should be as new as Sammy since it uses upd1 sources

If you want to keep root, don't update to today's MF3 OTA as it break motochopper exploit and prevents Rootkeeper from working
Some members have sacrificed themselves:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43420412&postcount=57
Anybody knows if it break Loki too?
It has been well documented that trying to ODIN back to MDL does not work and causes an immediate fail
If you wish to have the new features then run GoldenEye ROM, a fantastic i9505 MF8 based ROM that runs smooth as melted butter. It also has all latest MF3 additions such as App2SD, audio flickering and sms fix
I have been trying to tell everyone that...
DO NOT UPDATE PERIOD

If you can't root, you can't install custom recovery. Can't install custom recovery, can't loki...
If using customer recovery, I don't think the update will apply.
The question should be answered once root is achieved.

It might break motochopper, but what tells you that once another root method is found, loki will still work? that was my question
It's not going to break loki I don't think, it has KNOX but thats a seperate bootloader that allows apps to run with full security, our phone doesnt boot into Knox mode.

I just got my S4 today and updated it outside of the box. I'm now trying to root.

To late Can't downgrade. You'll have to wait and be patient until a new exploit is found for the new firmware.
To boot I did the same thing. My S4 came with AMDB installed. I updated out of box to AMDL without even checking first in the parking lot of the AT&T store. Got home and luckily found AMDL was still rootable.
I have one question.... what exactly does this update do besides patch stuff because its 300+ mb? Just wondering because I had to freeze my att updater

Now you can downgrade 4.4.2 kitkat to 4.3 jelly bean
You must have
1)an official stock 4.3
2)mobile odin
3)pc odin(computer odin)
4)This kernel (http://goo.gl/8MGXnQ)
5)custom recovery
6)rooted 4.4.2
Instructions:-
1)copy the stock 4.3 to sd card
2)flash it using mobile odin and make sure that all boxes are checked
3)flash custom recovery via pc odin
4)flash the kernel via custom recovery
Enjoy 4.3
Tested on my Gt-i9505
Notes:-
1)if you didn't flash the kernel you won't be able to use wifi
2)make sure to backup EFS and IMEI using EFS PRO (https://www.mediafire.com/?4smom74xg5tfkxu)
I wish i could helped many people to get rid of 4.4.2 kitkat
Thank you for posting this... won't do me any good as I'm not rooted...and need to downgrade to saferoot. But what is known about the custom kernel...I was under the impression using stuff for s4 variants that are not yours is dangerous. Im using the sprint version.
Regardless, I'm giving you a "thanks" for posting this as its a step in the right direction.

Has anyone tried is as follows
Flash MDM or MDF firmware that can receive OTA update and thereby update the phone
These two still receive firmware 4.2.2 OTA updates
Does not get downgrade with this way
I just tested to downgrade with no luck! Only comes to the first galaxy logo then bootloop? Can someone help me? Thx

Will this work for downgrading to 4.2.2 with KT JB4.2 kernel?
Why would you guys want to downgrade to 4.3?
I can't imagine why anyone would want to downgrade back to 4.3. 4.4 was a huge breath of fresh air for me. Everything works smoother, looks better, better battery. What more so you want. Only thing I miss is the jelly bean game, I hate the kit kat game now. It seems like 4.4 is a lot llighter OS then 4.3. Less parasitic loss on my phone I guess you can say.
I main reason I would want to downgrade to 4.2.2 (XXUDMH8) if I ever end up with KitKat or 4.3 is so JKay Deluxe will work. It appears JKay has completely abandoned development.
thanks

I see. Still, I heard there are problems concerning the new FW about the tablet being unrooted if you flash KK on it and the samsung logo not appearing in the booting screen. Is there any way for the root to stay? I already know that there are a few bug issues in the software like the fast battery drain and I can handle that but the root though...I don't really want my device being bricked or whatever. I'm still a newbie about this so I wanted to find more information if possible before doing anything first.

I know it's official and everthing but that's not what I'm worried about. My tablet's already rooted with a custom rom and a blackhawk kernel in it. I read from the other posts that you'd be stuck in the booting screen if you flash the KK due to the logo missing and that you'll lose the root and will never be rooted again due to KK leaving a signature on the build or something. I'm not exactly sure what steps to take to prevent it though and I wanted to flash KK so bad. I just want to know if anyone knows how to flash KK in my already rooted tablet without encountering those two issues I just stated above.
