Sure you can, but it will leave modem and bootloader newer versions intact, which is probably good.
And you can always use Odin to flash your Stock Rom back if you find some incompatibility.

Once you have a custom recovery, you can flash anything you want except 4.3 custom ROMs due to incompatible bootloader's boot structure.

There is no common answer for this question, coz
It depends on what custom rom.

When you flash via recovery on the Note 3 it usually will not touch bootloader and modem.
If you flash a Stock Rom using Odin and your phone is also on a stock rom it will update bootloader and modem.
And yes, if you move from 4.3 to 4.4 there is no way back to 4.3. It should not be a concern since all good and actively kept roms are on 4.4.

Hello there fellow XDA members, I have a problem with my S4. I installed the German version of 4.3, but I'm from Serbia which means different build numbers, and I haven't got any updates since(In updates i mean those small updates the size of 20mb like and so). So now I found my firmware for my country, but I also found a kernel for it, as a .tar file. My question now is, I know how to flash a rom via ODIN, but how do I flash a stock kernel, and should I do it before flashing the rom or after?

If u want all STOCK is better u use KIES for it. If ya wanna try ODIN, u dont need flash any STOCK kernel... only flash the STOCK ROM and is all :highfive:

EXACLY
but if you want to flash a separate kernel you need a recovery (CWM or TWRP) and an custom rom !

Thank you for the advice, I was just confused why would the rom and kernel be separated
Stock kernel is included in stock rom Odin flashable, so you shouldn't need to flash a kernel separately. If you want to though, PDA section of Odin same as a rom package.
can i flash stock rom through cwm

Yeah why not.Search the development section or the general section.
Yes and no
you can flash any rom through cwm but it wont be an actuall stock rom firmware - think of it as an unmodified custom rom
the only way to actually flash stock rom or change your baseband is to flash the stock rom firmware via odin

CWM can flash any rom, but if stock rom is likely a CUSTOCK rom, not a original stock rom
Press Thanks if helped
thanks
i tried to flash it via odin PASS!
Hello there, im on N9005 stock rooted 4.3 Rom...I wanna upgrade to 4.4 custom stock rom...
Im confused right now...Can i just download any stock based custom rom ( like : sweetrom ) and just flash it in CWM recovery?
And do the root stays? Or i need to do another different way?

You will have to flash a 4.4 rom first ( official or leaked doesn't matter ) because you need to update your bootloader to run 4.4. No root won't stay so you will have to re-root and install custom recovery too. Also, you can't go back to 4.3 once you update to 4.4.

There are plenty official rom release 4.4 already, if the official ones do i need to flash like the leaked ones?

Official is a single file you put in AP/PDA so it's easier and less confusing which files goes where.

Download THIS - put your device into download mode, unrar the .zip load the file into PDA slot and hit start.
It's the single Official Polish ROM

You cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 and if you have a 4.3
nandroid backup you cannot restore it either.
You will only be able to upgrade or flash 4.4.2 roms and newer
versions of android roms/firmwares.
Oh, one more thing there is no such thing as "denox" LOL
Good luck!

Yeah you can flash Stock via ODIN or you can install CWM/TWRP and use a custom recovery. -- Make sure REACTIVATION LOCK is OFF before you do anything or it won't work.
Hi ¿Someone can help me? I'm not found any stock rom for flash via TWRP
What is the phone's model #? Have you looked on sammobile.com for a stock ROM that can be flashed via Odin?
It is not possible to flash a stock ROM with TWRP.

Why? I flashed a stock rom in the Galaxy Tab 3 and it worked
Stock ROMs are flashed using Odin. A stock ROM can be modified to be flashed with TWRP, but then it's not a stock ROM anymore.

You'll have to look for custom ROMs that based on a stock ROM.

You can try the app Flashfire to flash the stock ROM. But I would make sure to have a PC ready (a friend maybe?) if something happens.
Okay. Thanks @Pwnycorn @audit13
