Hi sorry for the noob question. I'm on stock 4.3 with root and TMRP custom recovery. If I flash this will I also have to flash KT kernel for this to work?
Thanks in advance

New builds in the op, pretty sure all symlinks and permissions are fixed. I can only verify that it succeeded using TWRP 2.7.1.0
Rom should be safe, everything is good on my phone. Feel bad for those who got bricked, I hope someone get the debrick to work.
those who have brick... I bricked my phone flashing the 4.3 with odin... So I guess it is similar to the brick of 4.4
If there is no new bootloader I guess you need the debrick file for the mjb if comming from 4.3 if you had mjb bootloader. I tried an other debrick file it did not work.
this one did- http://www.mediafire.com/download/md8s29piyovz95q/debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img
Guyssssss I got my phone into download mode with 32gb class 2 samsung sdcard with a jig
edit-
Flashing mjb bootloader, modems and rom to fix phone.
Note- I format sdcard on another phone 5 times before writing image to it, used win32diskimager with mjb debrick image. Phone vibrated when I insert sdcard, I got excited, placed jig on usb of phone ,bingoooo download mode.
Will report back in a couple of minutes.
Odin mjb did not fix it, flashed latest twrp and manage to boot into it. Will flash mjb bootloader and modem then s3rx rom.
Finaly I got my phone Unbricked!
Edit- DO not know if pushing buttons combination will work. A JIG could cost like $3 on ebay... or less. If you can not get it to work with just the sdcard, try using one.
Like enewman said, most of the bricks here were from flashing the modem, so in theory, the 4.3 debrick.img should work.
I am on MJ2 bootloader and MJB modem with S3Rx Build.
So I can perform the steps provided by op to flash this rom right?
this ROM completely broke my phone. doesn't turn on in any way shape or form. 0/10 do not recommend.

Posted this in General, but thought I'd copy it here since some people don't always keep up with every section, and I feel its important enough...
Was just reading a few posts and something came to my attention that I have not seen anywhere yet.
Do NOT try to update from 4.3 by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with Mobile Odin! This mostly applies to the I747M users right now, but will also be true for the I747 once available.
The reason being that Mobile Odin does not flash the full firmware. Only system, modem, cache, recovery and kernel. This means your base firmware (bootloader) will still be whatever you had before. We know that you will brick if you flash the 4.4.2 modem on 4.3 firmware. So if you try to update using Mobile Odin, you will brick your device!
Only use the kk firmware with Mobile Odin if you have already fully updated via ota or PC Odin.
