Hi.
Kitkat 4.4 is not available yet as currently Samsung just release is 4.3.
So, u will not expect 4.4 soon.
U have been answered before on yr other thread.

Hi mate ,If you flash a stock NA5 you can no longer downgrade to stock 4.3. but you can try to flash your 4.3 Nandroid back up via recovery. or You can atleast downgrade to any custom 4.3 roms even aosp rom as well.Have a nice day
If the official kitkat come and I flash. Then everryhing is okey. Or not.

If the official kk came out in the end of january . Yea you should be alright . But if your thinking to downgrade to 4.3 stock then its not possible. If your having any issue with the leak,just flash the kitkat rom again.

The I337Z is running on 4.2.2 built JDQ39.I337ZZTUUAMH1
they did not push 4.3 update on it yet
Let me know when a rom for i337z comes, and the 4.4.2 update is OTA now but I don't want to update because I might loose root

You should be able to use any 4.2.2 Touchwiz ROM through Safestrap.

You cannot update a rooted device via OTA - it'll download, but it won't install. You have to unroot to install it, and I don't even think it works. - Better flashing it via Odin, then re-rooting.

Running cleanROM, system update not an option

As the title says, system update is not an option.
What ROM should I flash so it is an option so I can try my luck at updating to kk?

If you are wanting to update to the newly released ATT KitKat update, you need to flash back to stock ATT ROM. Otherwise, it will not send you the update. Or, you can wait for someone to create a flashable ROM that works for you.

Because no exploit is avaliable if you are at our above 4.4.4
No you can't downgrade below 4.4.4
No there's nothing else you can do to get root.
