Thanks for this. Question is there any way to make this rooted so you can flash a rooted mk2 to save some time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
I'm pretty sure that once it's modified, it will break the signature and not be flash-able through ODIN on the AT&T S4s.

KitKat?

You linked me to this thread actually. I wanted to know if using SafeStrap Recovery on MK2 allows you to use any Custom Roms that are as close to the GPE edition of KITKAT as you can get?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but as I've read these forums over the past few weeks for my device I've read several times that a custom bootloader does not and will not exist on the S4 ATT i337,..is that correct? I believe I read a bounty thread on it weeks ago...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ted77usa:
There is alot of custom 4.3 rom from MK2 INDEX & ROM LIST posted by [MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION] If you use Safestrap recovery and some of it with GPE or AOKP or AOSP themed ..... DO NOT flash any GPE rom yet for now. .... u can try MLD 4.4 KITKAT LEAKED BY DesignGear from General section. .. It confirmed work. ....

For people on MF3, can we ODIN the combined file? Or should we use the split files, and skip the BOOTLOADER (someone suggested that in this thread).

Will having 3.65 SafeStrap cause any problems when we come into the MK2 world?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
Use the combined mk2 file, flash in the pda slot with Odin. Root with safe root, install safe strap 3.71. Make sure to backup any files you want to save first as this will wipe your phone.

Hm, have you tried a different version of Odin? Running as admin?

I've never encountered the auth error before... might need someone elses input on it. Far as I can tell though trying different versions of Odin may fix it. The phone itself SHOULD accept the files without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
Which Odin files are you using? The all in one tar file or the 4 separate files? Flashing them in the correct slot? Also I thought I heard ATT had patched the MK2 update, maybe an issue? Just throwing stuff out there and seeing what sticks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ted77usa:

@ ted & Others

I am Still On MDL Firmware, So Is it safe to Upgrade Odin MDL to MK2 Firmware & Skipping MF3

& Which one should I Use ALL In One Tar or Single one

Your Helps Will Be Appreciated

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gadget069:
I would stay on MDL, once you upgrade there's no going back the bootloader is locked on MF3, MK2. You have a lot more options staying where you're at.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Gamer_Josh:
I had pretty much the same question. I'm still on stock MDL, and have been wanting to update to MK2. Is there any way to do this by skipping MF3 and without locking the bootloader? I'd prefer to use stock MK2 for now, but not if it'll cost me locking the bootloader. Maybe a modified, but still mostly stock, version of the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ted77usa:
If I were u I won't update. .... just keep your MDL since u can flash any 4.3 custom rom including 4.4 KiKat as long as u flash loki patch after flashing the rom......:thumbup::D:thumbup:

Try different mirror. ... At least 6 different mirror on the Android File Host and another mirror that I added from Dev-Host.....:D:thumbup::D

If you want the closest possible thing to the MK2 stock ROM, use StockUp ROM. Otherwise, feel free to flash any 4.3/4.4 ROM like Hyperdrive, Foxhound, and even any AOSP ROMs if you want. Using any other ODIN package besides MDL will lock your S4 and take that away from you.

Thank you so much to everyone involved! I upgraded from MF3. I was worried because I depend on my phone for my job and travel quite a bit but it worked without a hitch. I installed safestrap then a custom ROM (SHOstock.) Thank you again I have a newfound love for my phone! I've had this phone since November and have been using it rooted and stock. I came from the galaxy s 2 and with the unlocked boot loaders, I actually enjoyed my S2 better than this S4 now hopefully I can enjoy this S4 even more. Not as mad about the locked bootloaders but it is still low class of Samsung to do this to what was supposed to be an open-source operating system!

Thank you so much for posting this. You saved my GS4!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] morkman18:
Great stuff. I installed this because at some point my father-in-law had this S4 "unlocked" in Vietnam to use a local SIM and wifi/data hasn't worked since. New to Android but I gather they replaced the baseband or something (baseband was MJ9 while build was MJ6). Wifi toggle would not move at all, and data did not work. Also got a error message after trying to toggle the wifi.

Hoping that this install/restore would fix things. Fixed the error and wifi works for a sec but still nothing.

Install went fine, and after first boot/setup, when it asks for wifi network/password, shows available networks like expected. I select my network and enter password, then it just hangs for a bit then goes back to the wifi enable screen, with the on/off toggle not green and the area below just says "turning on". Rebooting doesn't change anything. After a hard reset, I am able to do the setup again, but same thing... works to enter password but then never again. Any ideas? Anything to try?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eq3430:
Thanks so much.. And can I try flashing again?

Your posting saved me, after many hours of distress, look over vast amount of information on this site.

The All in one dm5 file with Odin works for me. I tried many other tar or md5 on this site just did not work.

I was itchy for running CM11 on my AT&T Galaxy S4 with mk2.

So I rooted my phone 2 days ago.

Then installed SafeStrap 3.71.

Downloaded CM11 M3 and Gogle Apps

Created Rom slot1, activated it, installed the CM11 and Gapp zip files from SS.

reboot -> nothing shows on screen after the SS splash screen.

Then tried many tar and md5 files with Odin, no success. I was glad that I did not give up and read and tried your all in one file.

THANK YOU!!

I do have a simple question. Now my phone is working again on stock MK2. can I still try to flash CM11 M3 :D or there is some particular issue with MK2 (rooting or flashing) that I will have to wait for a solution from XDA community?

Thanks again..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
No, you will NOT be able to flash any versions of CM on MK2 due to limitations caused by our locked bootloader. Currently, your only option is to use Safestrap and flash 4.3 TouchWiz-based ROMs. I'd suggest looking at this thread for more information...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
With NighthawkXL saying that, you can still get pretty close to AOSP type TW roms. There is a thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616221) where you can find all roms guaranteed to work with MK2. I've tried PurifieD and BlackBox, both AOSP type roms, and they are great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] FuNKSioN:
I've been holding back on MF3 for what seems like a lifetime. What benefits are there going to MK2+? would you stay at MF3? is there a safe update path from MF3?

I'm coming from a GS3 which let me do anything I wanted quite easily. I really miss CM, and would like a similar experience on my GS4 if possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
The closest you can get to CM is the Google Edition ROMs, and that's about the only reason to stay on MF3 at this point. 4.3 GE ROMs don't work, but if you have MF3 you can use a 4.2.2 GE ROM and get the only AOSP any of us will see besides themed Touchwiz.

Besides that, the only possibility is if an exploit is found that Samsung knew about and patched in the bootloader, but that's doubtful, and if kexec (a method to load different kernels) comes around then that wouldn't matter anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eq3430:
Hi, Thanks for the information. After this experience, I realized that I'd better make sure I understand what I am getting into. I need to spend time catching up after I installed CM10 on my Atrix. They have made it less straight forward for Galaxy S4, and there are many more ROM out there.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

Thanks NightHawkXL, I will definitely wait for green light on the CM11. I may try other ROM once I understand SafeStrap, bootloader, HyperDrive etc.. With my currently knowledge on those things, it's risky to try things out on my own..

No apologizes necessary. I appreciate the help.:good:

Unfortunately, I've now reflashed MK2 and wiped/factory resetted lots of times, with no changes. I even tried rooting/SS/installing a TW ROM (Hyperdrive) and the wifi still did not work.

I've heard people having success replacing/restoring the kernel and/or modem. Do you think that could help? The hardware seems ok since it worked prior to that "unlocking" and it works for 10 seconds right after a factory reset but then stops working immediately.

Thanks for the guide and help!

I needed to 'unroot' properly (SuperSU apparently isn't good enough to unroot) so I can apply the OTA for 4.4.2. So using this guide I successfully restored back to stock. I have one weird problem however, the Saumsung keyboard crashes and is un-useable. Not a big deal 'cause I just started liking the Google Keyboard, but it does worry me that perhaps there are other issues? Has anyone else had these keyboard issues? Anyone else had other issues?

I did NOT use the All-in-one MD5, I just extracted the RAR, and out of the 4 files I restored the AP_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file.

Any help, thoughts, or suggestions would be appreciated. For now I've held off moving forward with the OTA in case someone recommends I try the combined file.

Also, for background purposes, when I got the phone around Christmas it was MF3, I then rooted it, had SuperSU preserve root, then OTA'd to MK2. Worked great. Now work is requiring I use Mobile Device Management (MDM) which detects root, so using SuperSU I did an unroot, which apparently was good enough for the MDM, but now the 4.4.2 OTA wasn't working and from what I have been reading it's likely due to the fact that I WAS rooted before. Thanks again
