Hello again guut13... this id def an i9500 model phone on sticker behind baterry and on about device also additionly when connected to kies it also says model i9500

the reason why i thought it came from the USA... is because its still running on 4.3 but when you go to the update software on the phone it says checking with AT+T FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE...

I just tried to root using CF AUTO ROOT... BUT IT KEEPS SAYING FAIL ...comes up in a red box on the ODIN programme... not sure what im doing wrong i cant get the red android to appear but i get it to download mode via vol down home and power then press start on odin

any advice would be very helpful
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Maybe you are running an ATT based ROM and that's why you see the update software message.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with CF Auto Root, but I am familiar with Odin. Maybe Odin is failing because it's having problems connecting to your phone? If so, here are some ideas...

1. Try a different USB cable

2. Try a different USB port on your PC

3. Uninstall Kies. (Kies sometimes interferes with Odin)

4. Download the latest drivers from the Samsung website. (Uninstall the existing drivers from your PC, reboot, and then install the new drivers.)

Otherwise, this thread may help...

Towelroot should work just fine to root.... search phone model plus os version plus towelroot so.. example " i337 4.4.2 towelroot" it will say v3 or v2 in the info download appropriate towelroot. Install app file... click make it rain... install safe strap using same search method but install through odin 3.09 then enjoy your phone and any rom that is safe strap compatible

Replied to your PM with your answers. Thanks for the APN info. How did you get them?

In other news... Looks like AT&T released Lollipop for Note 3, today. Does that mean GS4 is next? Fingers crossed.

[MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION] GE updated to v50 lollipop. Don't believe it has safestrap support yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks, but how did it get there. Are you running stock NJ4? I thought I have checked when I took that update and I don't remember seeing "Internet" on the "APN Type" line and the proxy is new, too.

Thanks. Yeah. Highly doubtful that the 4.4.4 kernel is compatible with 5.0. BUT... The fact there there is finally an official i9505 firmware out means, the US carriers should be getting their updates soon. (Although... the ATT GS5 hasn't gotten its update yet, has it? :( )

For the benefit of those new to the S4. This is what needs to happen before we will be able to flash ANY Lollipop Touchwiz ROM...

1. AT&T needs to release the Official 5.0 update. Why? Since we can't flash any kernel we want, we need for ATT to put a compatible kernel on our phones.

2. Someone needs to find a way to root it. Towelroot probably won't be compatible, considering the last two updates (NI1 and NJ4) patched that exploit.

3. Safestrap will need to be recompiled to work with 5.0 Hopefully we still have some devs left that haven't moved on to new phones. :fingers-crossed:

Guut13,

I do not know how it got there.

I am running a Jelly bean 4.3 ROM.

Post #3689

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337) on MK2 (MK2 Base Users [never took NB1 OTA or later]). I want to upgrade from a Jelly Bean 4.3 ROM to a Custom 4.4.2 TouchWiz ROM....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks. If it's a ROM, then the APN you are looking at was most likely tweaked by the dev and not the official ATT APN. Since it's more of a hybrid, and not official, I'm going to leave it off the OP, but I appreciate you sharing. Anyone that is having issues with their current APN is welcome to try it out.

I'm not sure how you bricked it, but if it's truly bricked nothing is going to work. But if there's any hope the nb1 tar file is the only thing that will work for you. Any other available tar will fail in Odin because of the bootloader you're on.

Will update the thread when details are released...

1. Can it be rooted?

2. Does safestrap work?

3. Can we Odin back to NB1 after taking update? (pretty sure that will be a 'No', but will wait for confirmation.)

[How-To] Update to I337_OC3 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot (4/7/2015)

You can't root if you have already upgraded, but you can odin back to nb1, update to nj4, and try his work around. Maybe once you are rooted, the SELinux switch will work.

If you are already rooted... then I have no idea. sorry.

Yep, I'm rooted, and I updated using muniz's method. I can live without the amazing bass for a bit while this whole thing gets figured out. I'm sure it won't be long before something comes up since we have these amazing dedicated devs on the case :)

So if we do the keep root method to move up to OC3 and then flash back to the NJ4 BL to get into safestrap, is there a chance we can flash custom lollipop roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Indian9990:
Hi guys,

I'm behind a bit and I've done a bit on research but still have a few questions. Sorry if I sound like a newb. I haven't rooted my phones in a while and I've been out of the loop. Not sure how I stuck on stock for so long lol.

I am using an AT&T Galaxy S4 on T-mobile. It's SIM unlocked but I don't get any of the updates because I'm on T-mobile, not AT&T. I'm assuming installing a custom ROM won't have any issues on that aspect as long as I put in the T-mobile APN settings?

My phone info:

Android Version: 4.4.2

BaseBand: 1337UCUFNC1

The few questions I had,

Is safeStrap the only recovery that will work still?

From my understanding, Safestrap is basically like partionting your hard drive?

I should be able to flash most roms via safe strap even though I'm still on NC1?

Going forward,

Is there any Custom roms you guys would recommend? Any that you guys use on the regular? I'm basically looking for a daily driver and solid battery :)

Thanks!

You can install "SELinux Mode Changer" from Google Play. It says it won't work on Samsung devices but I have it loaded and it shows to change to permissive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GStrobe31:
First off great! I successfully did it and have lollipop. Safestrap does flash everytime you reboot.

EDIT: I just successfully removed all the att bloatware and majority of the samsung apps through titanium back up. The only ones I left were the ones that were useful to me and are part of the functions of the phone. I just rebooted and everything is running fine. I was surprised how much space these apps take up.

EDIT 2: I just want to be clear on what I removed. I only removed what was considered bloatware. Not functional parts of the phone, like S beam. I do not condone this as if you mess up you will have to redo the whole process.

Edit 3: corrected the post according to the thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cyrusalmighty:
ha! I was about to ask same thing.

Q: So if we can keep root on new lollipop rom with the new kernel, Can people start testing lollipop roms to see which are compatible with safestrap 3.7.5 or will there need to be a newer safestrap version based on 5.0 files?? What do we need to get da flashing?lol??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Only one way to find out. Give it a try and report back. Worst case... you have to Odin back to NB1 and start over. I'd test myself, but I no longer have a i337 :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] torrentguru:
SafeStrap is the only one that works for locked bootloaders. :banghead:

SafeStrap does not yet work on Loli.

SafeStrap is a very special recovery because it lives between OS and kernel and it does have lots of neat features, including partitioning and backing up the stock rom. I preffer to have a recovery installed before rootin and tweakin.

If ya wanna install custom loli rom on the new ATT kernel, w/o a proper recovery is very risky. Thank the gods for Odin!

Do you run CM12 in another slot (noy primary for stock) of Safestrap?

I did, but then I returned it. It was a hair too big. Tempted by G4. It's the perfect size, but I really like stock android and the UI looks too much like touchwiz.

Had this leak turned out to be true about the m9... I would have been all over the bigger one. Too bad.

Using a t-mobile S4 now with a GPE 5.0 ROM. My next phone will have a 5.2 - 5.5 in screen... with an unlocked bootloader ;) Maybe the next Moto X or Nexus???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
Yeah, that's the perfect M9 for just about everyone who's upset with the one that came out. That's why those "leakers" out to actually called "grain of salters". I also was hoping for at least the 5.2" found on the M9+.

The good thing is that the M9 has already been unlocked, which is why I'll stay on HTC from here on out, until they decide to stop using HTC Dev.
