This is a 100% stock flashable zip of the recently released 4.4.2 firmware for the P5200. As it is 100% stock, it is fully bloated, odexed, and non-rooted. If you wish to attain root you can do so by flashing superSU-2.02 zip from chainfire. As of right now, no other root method appears to be working, including towelroot.
Download link below.
A deodexed + rooted build is also available.
NOTE: if you flash the deodexed version and have problems with root, flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip from here. I don't anticipate any root problems, but just in case, this will fix it.
100% stock: STOCK-4.4.2-P5200(fixed).zip
Deodexed + rooted: STOCK-DEODEXED-ROOTED-4.4.2-P5200(fixed).zip
Anyone may feel free to use this as a base for their ROM. I only ask that you give me credit.

I think I've fixed it. Reuploading now. Bear with me.
The problem was a fairly stupid one. I edited the assert to fit P5200 instead of P5210 (I'm using the same updater-script I used for the wifi model stock kitkat).
Problem is, I used mac textedit instead of gedit. One preserves linux encoding, the other does not. Can you guess which is which?
I believe it was Homer Simpson who said, "DOH".
Anyway, edited the updater-script with gedit and just removed the assert completely, so once it's done uploading you should be able to flash without issue.

I flashed both versions using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and everything went well. The first unrooted rom after completing flashing offered to install superuser and I did it. The second rom version did not offered it so I rebooted to TWRP and installed superuser from sd card. I am keeping the second version on my tablet. Looks nice and works very well. I will remove some system apps that I do not use and free some additional memory.
It seems that battery is draining faster than 4.2.2. Does anybody note it? Any solution? Thank you!
I have tried the rootet and fixed version, , but it doesn´t work, it hangs on boot!
Installed with TWRP 2.7.1.0, may i have to install this ROM with Odin ?

man i want one so bad

When you flash the rom then flash TWRP 2.5, just reboot into recovery, and verify your flash worked. But you don't have to flash the superuser.zip.
As you exit TWRP, it will say you're not rooted, and would you like to do that? Then TWRP will create the root for you.
But, either method gets the job done.
2.5 does not give that option.
That's in older versions.
Well the 2.5 I have did give the option. And I didn't make it up. It was mentioned in the development section so I tried it. I thought it was a very slick piece of work.
Hmm That's odd, I too saw that and thought I'd try it as well. 2.5 did not give me that prompt.
Me being me, I redownloaded, tried again same thing. tested it on the previous version, and only then did I get a prompt.
I uninstalled SU to try to recreate it so I could make sure I didn't just drink the koolaide and it didn't ask. But I think once you let TWRP flash the binary file it won't ask anymore.
I did get it to re-ask if I wanted to root. It flashed the SU binary.
But I did have to also install busybox (I used sterison app).

Below is my phone information:
Android Version : 4.2.2

I followed the steps to root my phone.
1. I flash vcoreroot-v2.tar via Odin. After flash, I open SuperSU i know that my phone get root access.
2. But, I notice that my WIFI could not open and all my file in internal memory was missing.
3. The thread I view says that I have to flash the stock kernel to my phone.
4. After I flash, my phone back to normal (WIFI can use and internal memory have data) but there have no root acces in my phone.
I have try another ways to root my phone that is using Recovery Mode to install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip. It doesn't work also.
Any steps i have missed up while rooting?????
Let's flash MegaFireV10 and you will have very fast system already rooted. If you wish, you can flash MFv10X which is heavy debloated version of MegaFire
Yep. Same problem for me when I try to root via vcoreroot. No wifi after root. I just wasted my time rooting and got 0x1 knox in the end. Great job, Samsung.
Anyway, there's two red lines upon booting up with root.
Now I'm just waiting for kitkat 4.4.2 first before rooting. Waste of time.

MegaFire Should'nt be flashed without factory reset. So back up your apps, contacts, sms's and whats more and make clean install. I would suggest to use for backup Super Backup app from Store.

You are right if I wanted to stay on Megafire, but my concern was to get wifi and sdcard working again,I flashed without any wiping and it worked. yes there was FC every 2 minutes, but I managed to temporary fix the issue and move on to the next custom ROM.

hi buddy..care to share the Stock Kernel u used? i keep looking for the kernel but can't find it.i faced the same problem with u..no wifi,no internal sd card..really hope u can help..TQ
[SOLVED]
Turns out CMW 6.0.4.7 will not flash to this device - solution was to use the app "Flashify" from the play store which simply and easily installed TWRP
Thanks joshm.1219!
[SOLVED]
I am at a complete loss for a fix. Short story is: I wasn't receiving any MMS, so I finally decided to ODIN back to stock and used this method so I could keep my data. Here's what happened next:
- ODIN passed but I couldn't get past the Verizon logo
- Tried several suggested fixes but the last resort one worked; I wiped data & factory reset (thus defeating the purpose of the no-wipe ODIN... w/e)
- Everything loads fine, TouchWiz works but I get a Factory Mode popup and can't lock my screen. (still can't lock my phone even now but will use this method if I think I'm stuck with TouchWiz)
- I use this method to unlock bootloader and root - root confirmed.
- Try to install CWM recovery or TWRP (btw, where the hell did GooManager go and why is it so hard to find now) and they say successful but I simply can't boot into them, just keep getting the factory recovery screen which won't let me flash any roms or any non-signed .zips
- MMS Still doesn't work!
- I call VZW in desperation and somehow they magically reset my account services and MMS works again! (I probably could have done this in the first place and not lost my ROM/Data and sanity if I'd known)
I have looked high and low for a solution but have found none. I also have been unable to find a REGULAR stock MDK file to flash on this phone - I can only find the NO-WIPE version which doesn't even allow you to keep your data. I'm confused and frustrated and would love some active help, I just can't find the right threads/posts/ect.
Thank you kindly for any advice.. I love my S4 and have been using PA, PAC, CM and other ROMS since the day I got it - I need that back! TouchWiz is just... I just don't like it.
Try this one.

Thanks for the original stock.. sadly I am still ending up with the Android System Recovery and despite installing CWM Recovery, I just can't get to it. I also still get the ridiculous Factory Mode popup.
Any ideas? I'm so sad :'(
From off it's either home+volume down+power or home+volume up+power. One boots into stock recovery the other will boot into CWM.
Hold all three until you see some small blue text in the upper left of the screen.

Thanks for the effort but I'm well aware of that. As I said in the OP, I've been using custom ROMs on this since day one - the issue is that I cannot boot into CMW Recover, despite having a successful install via the app.
Dumb question, which app are you using? I use RomManager to install CWM (up to 6.0.4.7) and I have a flashable zip of 6.0.5.0.

I'm using ROM Manager but it won't work. I'd love to try ODIN flashing the CWM Recovery if you have the file for my MDK build.
I may have it on my PC at home. When I get there (60-90 min) I'll look. If I do I'll post up to Dropbox and give you a link.
Ok, I've searched my HDD and I don't have the CWM file. What I do have is the MDK all-in-one root+recovery tool for the I545. I can put it up and upload it if the file isn't too large but I don't know if that'll help you.
CWM 6.0.5.0 flashable zip is in the CM11 thread but I don't know if the recovery image in the file is good for you, either

This thread might be dead, but rather than starting a new one for what is probably a stupid question, I'll ask it here and see what happens. I've been having major trouble flashing any 5.0 rom on my MDK VZW S4....Seems like every ROM fails when flashing. I have a feeling my issue is an outdated version of TWRP (2.5.0.2), but I am very hesitant to update because it seems like everyone has been having issues with 2.8.1.0. With this being said, are you guys currently running the most current version of TWRP and would you mind advising which .img file worked via Flashify? Not sure whether to use the jfltexxx or jfltevzw...or if it even matters.
I'm sure I've left out pertinent information, but let me know what I'm missing and I'll update accordingly.
I've been using the latest version of TWRP 2.8.1.0 and running Euroskank Lollerpop with zero issues. Coincidentally, TWRP just got updated today to 2.8.3.0 which i have yet to flash but will do so shortly. I would recommend JFLTEVZW based on my usage. Not sure if the other variant works or not but it appears you have a verizon device so stick with JFLTEVZW.

Thank you very much for getting back to me. When you flashed 2.8.3.0, was it a .zip file from recovery or a .IMG through flashify or another app? Thanks again for your help!

Hi guys!
I have a Z Ultra GPE (model C6806) on which I have tried to install CM11. Everything is working fine except the most important thing: I have no phone service. When I check the status, it's returning a blank IMEI.
I have tried to go into CWM (v6.0.5.1), tried to wipe the cache, date, etc, reformat all the partitions... then reinstalled CM11. No luck. Did all that again, this time installed the latest nightly build. No luck.
I really don't know what to do anymore. My phone is useless now.
Please help!!
PS
I'm new to Android and CM. Please give me instructions I can understand. Do I need to install a new kernel? I don't know how to do that. Do I need a modem update? I found this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783288 - but it says not to flash. And I wouldn't know how to do that anyway.

As I said in the other thread I suspect you flashed the togari version and not the togari_gpe version of CM. Just tlash the _gpe version over top (data and cache wipes) and all should be good

No, I flashed the correct CM, togari_gpe.
Anyway, since I don't have much to lose, I tried to flash togari and see what would happen. CWM wouldn't let me.

I'm not a developer but i'd tried all the solutions suggested everywhere but it's not working either until i extracted the modem from ROMs that work for me (with IMEI/Baseband) and suddenly everything work like it should.
View attachment FD_C6833_Patch4.4-761.zip is the original zip i obtained from thread somewhere here in xda few months ago. (Forgotten where) For reference only
View attachment C6802_Modem_Patch.zip is my version with all the files needed for cm11 to work with my no baseband/imei z ultra <-- Flash This
I am pretty sure it will work with other z ultra variant, just replace the files in /etc/ and /system/ within the zip with files from the rom that work for your device and flash it via recovery. Hope my solution work for you.

I flashed it using custom recovery (CyanogenMod recovery) but it shows an error..please help
Hi,
I currently have .570 fw installed with root, dualrecovery, xposed,... and wonder how to update to .575 w/o losing them. Can I just create flashable zip and that's it, or should I use the original guide that I used to update from LP to MM ([Stock][Z2(D6503) 6.0.1 Marshmallow][.570][Prerooted+ TWRP + Xposed][LB])?
//UPDATE: If you want to upgrade too, then grab files from this post and follow "nurps" guide here.
//UPDATE 2 (To avoid misunderstanding):
1. Make sure you download both files from here
2. In PRF Creator, insert your FTF as FTF File, dummy_flashable.zip as SuperSU and RecRootV4_combined.zip as Recovery.
3. Flash in recovery, if you want xposed, flash it separately afterwards.
4. Wipe cache
5. Reboot and that should be it.
//UPDATE 3
Also works for .291!
Well and without losing recovery would be important too. I'm ready with PRF Creator, but where do I get that TWRP Recovery zip from that works with MM?

I'm not sure that we are having the same issue... I am already on MM, with recovery, etc. And want to update to newer version of MM.
btw if you just want dual recovery for MM you can visit the guide I mentioned earlier. You won't get .zip, since it's flashed by adb, but it works just the same.
Yes and when you reflash you have to reflash a rooted image and also recovery, or its gone.

I see.. Now I know what you mean... The thing is... I would assume that you would just flash it the same way you did from LP to MM.. flash ROM (w/o recovery), then flash SuperSU, boot Android and use the adb recovery flasher... But i don't really want to spend hours getting things to normal if that doesn't work. So I'm hoping someone braver already done this and will shed some light on how it really is...
Actually I dont remember how it went, but now that you mention it, than a prerooted firmware should be enough, maybe I'll try tomorrow. Of course a flashable backup would make it easier if anything happens.

Yeah... The problem was, after flashing MM and SuperSU, you had to pray that when Android boots up, you will have root permissions. If not, then it was game over, as you no longer had dual recovery...
Anyway... If you'll try, let me know how it went. I would really appreciate it!
Prerooted PRF creator file didn't work, root is lost.

That's what I was afraid of... Have you tried flashing SuperSU after flashing ROM? I know that you can insert it in the ROM, but just to be sure I find it "safer" to flash separately.
Because I got an error on supersu I actually did reflash it, but the same error message appeared. Should have stopped there and reflashed my backup....I didnt...

And do you remember what error it was by any chance? We could probably find out why you lost root permissions that way...
No, sorry.

It's annoying, but at least you won't lose anything, as long as you have that backup... Now, you will have to downgrade to LP, root, flash back to MM, get recovery, flash your backup and done (if you want root back, that is of course, which I would strongly recommend for MM, as there are some things that would really bother me, if I didn't have root).
It's not the best solution, as it takes quite the time, but at least you have backup... could have been worse, take it that way...
Sorry my bad, I Was looking for the ftf now I'm downloading it with xperifirm,, now I'm looking for the recovery and supersu files to try,,

Thats a bit overcomplicated. I wasted some hours to find a rootable FTF though, 3rd I tried (D6503_17.1.A.2.69) worked, then it's just nuts dual recovery (with its own root exploit included) and restore.
For the other stuff I should have kept up, apparently for MM you include dummy_flashable for root not supersu and RecRootV4_combined is actually available as flashable recovery.

So, now you have .575 with root/recovery? And if, then you just create flashable.zip from your FTF and include dummy_flashable, flash in recovery and then flash RecRootV4_combined?
Nope not done yet. Trying now.
