You probably just need to flash superSU and everything will be fine.

I got to 4.3 with root injected in stock. I now have the MJC bootloader, of course. Are all the other ROMs w/4.4.x compatible ? Thinking of moving to Cyanogenmod, specifically.

Yes all the custom AOSP roms should be fine. CM too will be ok to go.
Word of caution. Make sure your custom recovery is up to date. Otherwise you will face a lot of issues trying to flash CM or other roms.
Hey guys. This may have been asked already but i am coming from verizons gs4. and over there you can oly get custom recovery if youre on mdk bootloader.
I just bought this phone for my brother and it came with 4.12 (MG2)
I see everywhere that people were able to get 4.3. i tried updating through phone and through kies and says its up to date. so now my question i guess is what bootloader do i need to be on or what 4.x.x do i need to be on in order to root and get custom recovery to flash custom roms?
any help will be greatly appreciated.
I recommend not updating to stock 4.3 ROM as this will install Knox and you will have a non-downgradeable bootloader. You can use Odin to flash Philz Touch which is based on CWM. From there, you can flash custom ROMs.
Some ROMs require a 4.3 bootloader, but these would tend to be based on the stock Samsung ROM. I am running the latest Validus 4.4.2 on a stock Bell 4.1.2 bootloader without a problem.

Oh ok. Well I just succesfully rotted and installed latest touch cwm.
so if I stay on 4.1.2 I can basically flash any kitkat roms? Because I dont want to install a tw rom.
So another question what are some good 4.4 kk roms? As in stable for daily use that I could flash

Most kitkat ROMs will work with a 4.1.2 bootloader based on my experience.
I like the Ground Zero ROMs and use them on the s3, Moto Atrix HD, and Nexus 4.

For the past couple of weeks in have been trying to install a custom rom so I could enable bluetooth tethering for galaxy gear. My tmobile note 3 is rooted in follow every step perfectly, however, after rooting in use Odin to install custom recover after that is done in have my rom on my dad card and boot into recovery when flashing the rom the phone gets sent into reboot loop. If anyone can assist me to either install a custom rom to enable bluetooth tethering or some other way of enabling it would be much appreciated.

Most likely you are trying to flash a 4.4.2 KitKat Tmobile custom rom coming from
the NB4 4.3 stock Jellybean rom.
If that's the case then you need to Odin flash the official stock kitkat 4.4.2
rom before you can flash any of the 4.4.2 kitkat custom roms.
You can download the official 4.4.2 kitkat stock Odin flash rom from
http://SamMobile.com After flashing you will need to root the phone
again and flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
Once that's done you will have no problems flashing the 4.4.2 kitkat custom roms.
Good luck!

Will try this as soon as I am home. I'm am currently on android 4.4.2 if that provides more information.
Its been so long since I installed a custom JB rom I can't see how to update to a custom 4.4.4 rom.
I've got KYRILLOSv8 and baseband rom XXMF1 and don't know the steps to take to flash a Carbon KitKat edition. I think I have to use ODIN to flash an official KitKat rom first then follow the instructions for the custom rom, is that correct?
Can I use ODIN to flash official KitKat over the custom KYRILLOSv8 or do I need to go back to official JB rom first?
Its just steps needed to go from JB custom to KK custom I'm unsure about and after a quick procedure guide so as not to end up in a mess. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
It was easier than I thought, flashed the lated JB rom in ODIN then installed custom KK rom and gapps.
Hello, I am completely new to rooting so hear me out.
I just bought the galaxy note and its rooted 4.3.
I am planning to flash the Hyperdrive KK RLS3.1 rom. Do i have to first flash my device to 4.4.2 before I can flash the custom rom?
Thanks!
Nope. Just flash custom recovery and install rom

You need to flash 4.4 stock rom to get the latest 4.4 kk bootloader first then re-root then flash twrp then flash Hyperdrive rom. You could flash twrp but without let it bootup, boot back to twrp and flash Hyperdrive rom since Hyperdrive rom is already rooted.
I didn't need to get the latest 4.4 bootloader. I went straight from 4.3 stock to hyperdrive rom
