Have you even searched or Googled it? Just Flash a 4.4.2 Rom, Simple.

Thanks for your answer, but no, I've tried that and if you install a 4.4.2 rom on top of a 4.4.4 rom it won't do anything and go back to 4.4.4
Edit: I installed the new version of TWRP and Wiped: Dalvik, system, data, internal, cache and factory reset and it let me do it.
Thanks for making me try it again, it didn't work before.

OK I've never had that problem I've always just flashed a new Rom over old rom even if I was on a aosp Rom. I believe ur best bet is to flash a stock 4.4.2 touchwiz rom through ODIN then flash whatever 4.4.x Rom you want. Their are plenty of step by step instructions on what to do all over the Internet.

I'm already in my old Hyperdrive ROM, I had a backup but it wasn't a nandroid backup. (is it the same). Now I'm searching how to make a nandroid backup.

If you flashed the latest Samsung Touchwiz 4.2.2 UVUAMDL stock firmware and replaced
the kernel with a modified or custom one then you are surely going to loose root access
and you will need to re-root the phone.
Good luck!

Generally speaking, flash, clear both caches and reboot. Some say fix permissions also. Either way should work.
I am still new to the forums and flashing ROMs. I want to go back to the stock ROM, but I've seem to have lost my stock ROM I originally set up before I started flashing. Can anyone please direct me to where I can download the stock ROM. Thanks

Flash in recovery, but if using Odin will work better than I will do that.

If you use a custom recovery to flash the ROM and Odin for the modem only, you should be ok to just restore a backup. If you were to take the official 4.4.2 update though, then no; you'd be stuck on 4.4.2 thanks to Knox.

Well, finally we have got KitKat and so I may ask, why you want to go back?
If you want to run 4.3 custom roms, no need to downgrade, go ahead and flash.

flash ofw with odin then flash cwm and restore backup. it worked for me
People are saying you can't flash back to 4.3 from 4.4.2, which is partially true.
Even when you flash the 4.3 firmware, you will still have 4.4.2 bootloader.
However, if you are not really fussed about the mini details, just flash it like you would normally with Odin,
then when there are problems with wifi, use custom kernels to fix it.
Otherwise, flash 4.3 then use a nand backup to restore (if you have it).

Just using odin 1.85 to flash back to 4.3 stock rom. Remember to wipe data/cache before flash
I hope this can help.

Yes.
You can easily flash stock rom with flashtool.
Is stock ROM the .ftf file?

Yes.
You may even take a backup in CWM before flashing CM 11 and then restore it so no need to flash through flash tool
Does the backup store in the SD card?

Half yes. Half no.
If you take cwm backup then you can simply restore it back to get your settings and apps back. Then if you want stock kernel flash kernel only through flash tool. So you have a stock ROM along with your saved settings.
When you want complete stock same as when You first started it then you need to Flash full stock ROM, wipe data and cache and relock bootloader.
