No worries wouldn't be the first time I've had to start fresh lol, sometimes that's a good thing though! I just needed to know whether or not I needed to back everything up :)

Okay sounds good, I assume I can remove Xposed through the app itself? This is my first time playing with it, and will using unroot in SuperSU work to unroot?

Overall sounds great and shouldn't be too difficult, I look forward to getting started!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Keep in mind... Unlike the AT&T OTA that gets pushed out, Odin doesn't care what you have installed. It wipes the slate clean and reloads the stock image. That said... don't worry about unrooting or backing out of xposed. All of that data will get overwritten.

I'd recommend backing up, but be careful what you restore since you are going from 4.3 to 4.4.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Iomega0318:
Ahh okay good to know, and when I was on my Vivid I would have to completely wipe it and reinstall the ROM when I updated all the time :) So good to know I can just not worry about anything and just wipe it all and start over lol as for backing up all I do is copy all my files, apps, etc over to my computer I never actually restore anything aside from contacts/texts with MyBackup..

Help needed: galaxyS4 sgh-i337 is rooted, back to stock NC1

Based on some forum searching I've been doing I think this is the closest thing to what I need. Though im still unsure if the instructions here are what I need so let me explain what it is I hope to get and see if someone who is better at this then me can help.

Phone being used:

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4

SGH-i337

NC1 update.

has been towelrooted. bootloader still locked from that.

What I want to get done.

Put phone back to stock NC1 without root. Already have tried factory default restore and root is still on phone.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

If you are on NB1/NC1, the you can't Odin flash the full MK2.

if you want to get to NC1, the Odin flash NB1 and update to NC1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ross5120:
The link provided for NB1 update is 1.4 gigs.

Im assuming inside of that folder is NB1 update somewhere?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
NB1 is not an update... it's the full package. NC1 is the update.

Altho I used the I337UCUFNB1_4.4_Rootable_Stock_Odin_tar from muniz_ri and towelroot v2

I had to do a full wipe for CarHD V27 so figured why not upgrade to the latest.

I think the CarHd Rom is the best looking I've tried so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Iomega0318:
Just one last quick question before I commit lol, and anyone who has done it can answer really.

I assume since you stated to just download and run Odin the default options shown below are acceptable and I do not need to check or uncheck anything correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
They are basically the same file. The second one has been modified slightly to allow NB1 to be rooted by towelroot.

If you want to stay on NB1... I recommend flashing the one that is rootable by NB1, this way you do not have to downgrade to root.

If you want to upgrade to NC1... you might as well flash the regular version.

Thanks. Glad it worked. I wasn't planning on staying on NB1, so I used the non rootable version. Figured the other would work as well, but I never tested. Thanks for confirming.

I always use defaults. I double checked and mine (odin v3.09) has the same boxes checked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Iomega0318:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dpwguenther:
Ok so dumb question, I know trying to downgrade will result in brick, but what I can't find anywhere is, is it a soft brick or hard brick?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chmcarro:
If I'm on stock MF3 and I want to install a custom KK TW ROM, should I Odin load stock MK2 or go all the way to stock NC1 before rooting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Yes. I wouldn't put it in OP if it wasn't safe.

If you are already rooted... no need. If you Odin back to stock at some point, probably best to use v2 the next time around.

Following the alternate downgrade methods in OP will not brick. Flashing mk2 odin files over nb1 base will "soft brick".

Since peoples definition of the two may differ, to me...

Softbrick - phone will not boot into stock or custom rom. As long as you can reboot into download mode, you can always restore your phone via odin.

hardbrick - cannot be recovered. Might as well make it a paper weight.

Not saying it can't be done, because there are users out there with hard bricked phones, BUT... as long as you stick with safestrap and odin, it is VERY VERY VERY VERY hard to hard brick your phone. Odds go up if you start messing with the other custom recoveries.

Totally up to you. Easiest method is going all the way up to NC1, but either way will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chmcarro:
I guess it depends on which bootloader the developers are working toward unlocking. Is it possible they will unlock MK2 and not NB1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Yep. There's the rub. Not even going to attempt to answer that one ;)

MK2 would be the safer bet there.

So I just got don't talking with Samsung and at&t to unlock the bootloader, they were going to help me until they found out my phone was at&t, they told me to talk to att and att said to talk to samsung again so I did and I got a stupid rep this time and they said they can't help me because they don't have any information about unlocking the bootloader which is bs, so maybe someone with an i9505 or an m919 can get then to give up the info

**EDIT TWO**

Only took me about 20mins, and rebooting now for NC1. Great instructions!

One last thing to note however, it spit out two errors at the end of the NC1 Update about the sdcard being named wrong or something it restarted too fast after showing the message, is that normal?

I've screwed up & need help bad

I was trying to change the folder permissions to my Device>System>ETC>Permissions folder to replace the platform file. It would not allow me to replace the file with another one due to the permissions being read only. I had even tried removing the file and placing it in another folder (incase I needed thge 0riginal file again) and was going to then try inserting the new file...it of course wouldn't let me then I remembered when you change the permission settings you have to reboot for them to take affect. I rebooted without putting the 0riginal platform file back in the System>ETC>Permissions folder and now I'm stuck in what I am calling boot loop. It will boot up to the AT&T logo on the white screen and that is it. I'm hoping I can fix this with Odin or something b/c as of now I've gone from trying to install a customer recovery to flash a custom ROM to having a brick (or soft brick). Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
If you can get into the safestrap recovery menu, you can try to use the file manager to reverse what you did.

Otherwise, you should be able to odin back to whatever base you were on without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mrleroybrown:
Thanks guut13, I've never been able to install safestrap so it looks like Odin is my last hope...only problem is I rooted my phone but never could get a custom recovery on it and never got a custom ROM on it...and I know how to use Odin a little (like very little...I've only used it with detailed instructions on which boxes to tick and what to load in which slot (i.e. BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE, CSC etc etc). I hate to sound like someone asking to be spoonfed, but I have honestly been all over this site and others looking and I'm not having much luck.

I reflashed, and it still did not work. I restored stock (haven't tried any other rom since I rooted her phone a couple months ago) and sms is working as it should. I am going to try re-downloading everything, and start again. since flashing to stock I checked her APN settings and saw that under "apn type" there is an extra setting called FOTA. I wonder if this is causing me issues.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] brad2taylor:
So one last update. I re-downloaded the Rom, modules (I dont think i mentioned, shes on the NC1 bootloader), and SuperSu update. I updated the APN settings from scratch instead of using the zip. I got it set up and was able to send two messages to my Note 3. I replied to her S4 and it was recieved! BUT.. after a short celebration, she was unable to send another text to me. Was not able to send one to herself. I'm so confused but after working on this all day I restored stock on her phone. I hope someone out there can think of something. I have never touched the radios after the downgrade to NB1-root-safe upgrade to nc1 process. I doubt messing with the radio could do anything though. Thanks for all who tried resolving this.

Yes, the bootloaders are locked tight. No downgrade will unlock them. Someone will have to crack it for us to be fully free. I believe S5 and Note3 are in the same boat so I'm sure plenty of devs are hacking away at it.

On another note, these manufacturers like Samsung are pushing power users away with their locked down bootloaders. With their new releases (S5 and Note 3), this only cements my future choice. It will be in the direction of something unlocked like a Nexus device or the Oneplus One. If either could get an SD card option, I would already be there.
