You can flash a KitKat ROM to the one that got LolliFlop. It's possible to back up the system and install it on another phone of the same model, but you have to know how to find the system partition and the bootloader and how to use dd. It's not something anyone who hasn't been running Linux for a while should even think of. Flashing a ROM is trivial by comparison. Click a few buttons and the phone has KitKat in it. (Unless it's a Samsung on AT&T or Verizon. Then you may have a problem.)
