Towelroot will work with 4.2.2 ucuamdl , at least it did for me. You will also want to stay on ucuamdl so you can install a custom recovery and custom roms.

Hi all, I m new to Samsung, previously using HTC. I got a simple yet a question that troubling me and preventing me from rooting my phone. I saw a thread regarding the CF-auto root which i think is a most easiest way to root my phone (GT-I9505). Here is my phone details:
Baseband version - I9505DXUAME2
Build number - JDQ39.I9505XXUAME2
Android version - 4.2.2
It is possible to use the CF-auto root to root my phone? Thanks if you can help me up.

Yes, can confirm that. But CF- Auto Root also works on the I9500, different file off course. Link http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/.

TA only resets to 0 if you have a stock rom and recovery, otherwise it will always jump back to 1. Don`t use TA with a custom kernel, that may cause soft bricks/bootloops.

Basically, from what you are saying it is much safer to be on stock for the mean time? Are there stable roms out there that thats available? Mostly from what i read on android dev, they are mostly alpha (please correct me if i am wrong).
Btw, thanks for your help. I have successfully rooted my i9505 using cf-auto root. My second question is what would be the most stable recovery?
I read from an article that CWM is still unstable?
Hey guys,
I updated my I337m Telus to 4.3 and since have been unable to root using CF or motochopper. I have tried using terminal but to no avail. Superuser sometimes will install and sometimes won't. When it installs it won't grant root priveleges. I'm on MDJ at the moment. Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried Kingo to root ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747
Also why not just root on 4.2.2 and then flash a 4.3 stock rom and not take the update ?

I have tried kingo but to no avail. Also tried the second method but after flash to 4.3 I cannot access root privileges. Have tried completely restoring to factory and then repeating procedure step by step. Nothing. Any suggestions are appreciated thanks.
Bump..Still can't do it guys. :/
is there a way to downgrade Android 4.4.2 to Android 4.3 on the i9500 i need this urgently. (Stock Official Samsung Touchwiz)
Have you tried downloading the 4.3 ROM for your phone's region from www.sammobile.com/firmware and flashing it with Odin? If you are not sure how to do that, you should be able to find lots of info in the forum explaining how.
BTW, questions should be posted in the Q&A forum.
Best wishes

If you flash the 4.4.2 stock rom then there's no way you can downgrade your phone .

You can still downgrade your phone , by using a Custom rom. But if you flash a stock 4.4.2 STOCK then you can no longer downgrade yoUR phone into 4.3 STOCK rom via odin.

What software version are you running? What's the last 3 characters of the baseband or your bootloader version if you already know? Or, are you already rooted with a recovery?

On NB1 you can't get to Lollipop yet due to the locked bootloader. Hopefully the GPE ROMs will be updated to it, but it's not guaranteed they will be able to function at all since we can't flash kernels.
