In the same boat.... can't repair or unlock any i527 at&t mega beyond 4.2.2 MH1 baseband... and can't find any modem file to downgrade to :\

The problem is not the modem. Its the new kernel in the 4.4.2 update. It patched the exploit in the older versions. Currently no work around to get root yet.

Apparently it's possible, there's a guy on ebay touting his ability to repair the imei on 4.4.2 i527 mega. When I asked him about it he said the root for 4.4.2 was a "trade secret"
So it's already not impossible...

I don't have an i527 myself.... but there's speculation that Towelroot v3 with custom values may do the job.... Yes this means hundreds of combos... but it also potentially could give us root.

So to someone bored and stoned enough, it may be worth investigating.

same problem here I need root for SGH-I527 ANDROID VERSION 4.4.2 BASEBAD NE7.... any solution ?
kernel mk2 didn't work

He's not rooting the 527. There's no way to root it. THERE is however a way to repair the IMEI. It involves backung up nv items, using heimdall to reset the EFS through download mode, using DFS CDMA tool to write the new IMEI and writing the nv backup back to the phone.

YES I've done it. YES it works. YES all the info you need is here.

Read read read. That's all I can say. All the information is out there. If you're looking for a one click solution, wait for the next kernel level root. There's a reason why only a few people are able to currently service this device.

I just wipe efs via download then write IMEI and use qpst to write qcn. Takes about 5 minutes.
