When you say you did the default wipe, do you mean the one click wipe in Safestrap? You should have done advanced wipe and checked everything other than external SD card. Try again with that step.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
Thanks to both of you, I believe I'm on the way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RN_ReFlux:
I may be wrong, but I don't believe you flash the nb1 files if you're still on mk2 bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
I'm still feeling like an idiot and I really appreciate the help.

Right now, I'm in 4.4.2, SafeStrap is there and functional, the baseband is I337UCUFNB1, I seem to have root (confirmed in SuperSU), but I can't change my lock screen from swipe to PIN, and I can't turn Wi-Fi on at all.

I tried installing the bypasslkm.zip, but get some errors about writing to system.

Some of the stuff I've found in searches seem to point to init.d...I'm not sure that's the right path. If I can solve these 2 problems, I feel like I'm good to go.

Thanks again in advance everyone.

What rom? Post 2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51067714&postcount=2 points to the "all compatible roms" list. I'm using the one "I337UCUFNB1 100% Stock v2 Rooted SS ROM v2 -- 3.15.14". (And yes, I've Odin flashed the NB1 modem file as per its instructions.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
The lockscreen issue for those that never took the NB1 OTA update is a known issue(see notes in ROM instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50668385&postcount=4). In order to solve it MK2 users would need to update to the NB1 BL. But that would mean that you would not be able to go back to factory stock MK2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
I'm already getting ready to go back to MK2 to take the upgrade just to resolve it. I can't see any reason not to for what I use the phone for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
I can PM you just the NB1 BL so that you don't have to start from scratch. Let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
No worries...the download for the all-in-one MK2 is now done; unless going that route is better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
It's up to you but you are taking the loooong route. I just noticed that the NB1 BL is in the OP in this thread in the file Nb1 Safestrap Kit Version 1. It is the file NB1 odin ifiles/bl_nb1_test. You can flash that in PDA slot in Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
Using Odin 3.09, should that be the BL slot, I assume?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
I believer AP is the equivalent of PDA in that version. Use AP. Also, I just noticed in your earlier post that you flashed the Safestrap Version 2 kit. That appears to contain either the MDL or MK2 non-hlos bin. That will screw-up your wifi in this ROM. You will need to re-flash the NB1 modem to get wifi working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
Will do on the AP slot. I did re-flash the NB1 modem, per the instructions...but that didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
OK, try the NB1 BL file and see if that resolves the issues. If not worst case start from Step 1. Since you will now be on the NB1 bootloader you will no longer be able to go back to factory stock MK2 but will be able to go to factory stock NB1 then downgrade according to the instructions in the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
The NB1 bl had to be flashed in the BL slot, but from there the lock screen issue did go away. The wi-fi issue is still there; tried re-flashing the modem again, but no dice. Do you think from here I should go through the whole process again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
No, re-flash the MK2 kernel and go back into SS and do the advanced wipe selecting everything but ext sdcard then reinstall the ROM. Then follow the remaining steps. I think that should work. Make sure you have the file in step 6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soulctcher:
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for all of your help. This seems to have gotten me to where I need to be. :good::good:

You will need to use Odin on your PC. Mobile Odin wont work with NB1.

Also as a side note, Mobile Odin Pro only worked for me on Arrow Rom when I downgraded to MK2. I tried it on Hyperdrive, and Darthstalker for MK2 and had no luck.

I initially thought Mobile Odin wasn't working on NB1 for the same reasons that SafeStrap wasn't.

But since I could only get it to actually work on Arrow, I'm stumped.

Maybe it's a partitioning problem, or kernel issues?

I added a copy of the Mobile Odin dump log. Maybe it will help someone understand what is happening.

Scratch all that. It's not working because it's not compatible with I337 yet. It's weird that is started up on Arrow Rom though. Maybe because it is based off of GT-I9505?

Edit: If you are running a mk2 rom, you flash mk2 modules. Same for nb1. Your modules must always match the rom/kernel you are running.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
You downgraded from nb1 to mk2. Remember, you can only downgrade the system/kernel and not the bootloader. So, what you have is nb1 bootloader (baseband in your screenshot) and an mk2 kernel and system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:

I think you've meant 'if you only flashed the modem' rather than 'bootloader' but that leads me to another question. How do I know which bootloader is on my phone. Is it just an educated guess? If one upgrades to a full NB1 and then downgrade to MK2 is there a place where it says which bootloader is installed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ryujeff:
I flashed the rom successfully but i forgot to flash modules, rebooted and went into bootloop. Cant even get to safestrap but i managed to get back to nb1 stock with odin. Do i have to flash the module after flashing rom? Also, i advanced wiped everything except virtual micro sd, and the stock slot is still there and i cant flash anything on stock slot. Help please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zablash:
Yes, after flashing your rom, don't reboot and flash the modules as well. Your problem leads me to believing you need to follow the first couple of steps regarding your bootloader. After flashing both, reboot to download mode and odin either the MLD or NB1 tar files (according to your bootloader)

I hope this helps as this is my first actual post in these sections.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
If you upgrade to a ful nb1, then you will have an nb1 bootloader, whether you downgrade your system to mk2 or not. NB1 bootloader cannot be downgraded.

Stuck on Boot

I followed the instructions exactly as they were and I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo. My s4 is on 4.3 and MK2 baseband. (I've never updated to 4.4.2/NB1)

Here's step by step what I did:

1) Download the MLD/MK2-safestrap kit (Version 2)

2) Download GoldenEye 26 SafeStrap Edition (Yes, I checked the hash)

3) Place GoldenEye and mldmodules on ext SD card

4) Reboot into SS recovery, use advanced wipe to wipe all but ext SD card

5) Install GoldenEye ROM on Stock Slot

6) Install mldmodules on Stock Slot

7) Boot into download mode

8) Use ODIN to flash files from the MLD Odin Files folder (This may be where I messed up, was I supposed to use the MK2 folder or the MLD folder? OP's instructions said MLD folder.) Also I attached a screenshot of ODIN after it finished.

9) Reboot

10) Get stuck on Samsung's boot logo :(

I'd appreciate any help, I'll update my post with any additional info if needed. Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: Just pulled battery and booted back into recovery, SS fails to wipe and won't select the stock ROM slot. SafeStrap also won't create a new ROM slot as it says there are 0 MB of free space left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zablash:
I looked through all of this and the screenshot, and as far as I can tell, You did everything 100% correctly.

Can you still boot into safestrap by removing battery? If yes. I would follow this following step and wipe all but ext sd again and retry the process.

"If you want to install a different 4.4.2 rom or mods, reboot to download mode, and odin the MK2 ap file only. Reboot to ss and wipe/install or whatever you need to do. Reboot to download. Odin MLD files and reboot "

ALSO!!! You need to be flashing this SU package after the rom and mld modules.

Update

I updated my post as you were typing yours, I'm not sure what state my phone is in right now. Should I go ahead and try to flash that MK2 ap file? SS can't wipe and says I have 0 mb left, something is wrong and I'm not sure if I should continue trying to fix it or completely reset to stock and try again. If i should completely reset, should I use MK2 ODIN files or NB1? Are there NB1 ODIN files yet? (Why does this always happen to me... :P)

Thanks!

EDIT: Went with the "F*** it" approach and tried to follow your instructions. SafeStrap still won't let me select or create a ROM slot. Looks like I'm going to have to reset, but do I use MK2 ODIN files, NB1 ODIN files, something else entirely, or have I successfully bricked my phone and I'm screwed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zablash:
As you are on MK2 bootloader, if you want to completely restore you would use the mk2 odin files and flash them.

I would say flash mk2 ap file and then wipe like I previously posted, because through my research, it's not possible to wipe/install/backup in SS without doing that. It says 0 mb left because you haven't flashed the mk2 ap.

TLDR: Safestrap is basically useless in all of its features unless you odin the mk2 ap file first. When it boots into SS after that you'll be able to do whatever.

Good luck and I hope you fix it as Goldeneye is great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JTrocks:
AP file is a no-go

MK2 ap file still didn't solve the problem, I'll reset with MK2 ODIN files and see how it goes. Probably no more updates for a while though, I have to leave for a few hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JustMeToo:
Thanks, rebel, but I already knew that and I didn't ask that. In the previous post someone posted a screen shot of his phone and the baseband said NB1 to which you said that his bootloader is NB1. Since my baseband says also NB1 because I flashed the NB1 modem I'd like to know if there is a way to tell, without guessing or assumptions, what bootloader is on the phone. Something like in the about on the phone where it say the kernel or the software and so on.

Let's say I buy a used phone from someone. The person can tell me whatever the person wants, about the bootloader on the phone, but I would like to check it myself.

OK, I managed to get my phone rooted and SafeStrap installed again. This time I wiped everything but the ext SD card, and proceeded to flash the MK2 ap file. Now my phone rebooted and is stuck on the Samsung logo again. I noticed that the version of ODIN OP included says I9505 at the top, my Galaxy is an I337. Should I use a different version of ODIN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zablash:
Can you specify what you did? Did you go through with restoring back to complete mk2 stock trough odin and then redownloaded safestrap?

If so you didn't need to do the ap file thing. Secondly, no your odin is correct and works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JTrocks:
I did a complete reset back to stock 4.3 MK2 through ODIN. I used the files from here. I'm 100% sure that they work properly, I've used them before with no issues. I re-rooted using SafeRoot then installed SafeStrap. Now that I think about it, I'm not completely sure Knox was disabled properly after SafeRoot, I still had the "blocked application" messages appearing in my notification bar even though root requiring apps seemed to function flawlessly. After I installed SafeStrap I let it automatically boot into recovery (which it always does after SafeStrap installs) and used advanced wipe to wipe everything but the ext SD card. Then I booted straight into download mode and flashed the MK2 ap file. After that I was stuck at the Samsung logo again.

EDIT: Currently rooting again after reflashing for the second time, looks like I was right and KNOX wasn't disabled properly the first time. The SafeRoot command prompt closed early and I assumed it was done.

EDIT 2: I figured out that the problem must either be in my root or SafeStrap installation. (That, or technology just plain hates me.) After installing SafeStrap again I wiped everything but the ext SD card and rebooted just to make sure that the problem wasn't in the MK2 ap file or GoldenEye ROM. Sure enough, my phone is frozen at the Samsung logo again. I'll ODIN back to MK2 and reroot, and install SafeStrap again but this time I won't wipe, I'll just reboot to see if the wipe is the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zablash:
Perhaps but also when you fully reset don't flash the mk2 ap file next time. Install rom, modules, Superuser, boot into download, flash the 3 mld modules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JTrocks:
I realized that the problem must occur when I wipe the ROM slot, I was able to reboot my phone with no issues as long as I didn't wipe it. So after I figured that out I did exactly what you suggested. Aaaaaand I still froze at at Samsung's boot logo. *eye twitches* Next time I'll flash the MK2 ap file and follow through with everything but the wiping part, it seems that the ap file wasn't the source of the problem so I figure why not. I'm going to bed tonight though, in the meantime I'll ponder why technology hates me so much... I swear something like this happens EVERY DAMN TIME I mess with technology. I used to have an old iPod 2g that I jailbroke several times, mother****er would go wrong Every. Damn. Time.

Did you take the update to NB1at some point? If so, it is failing because you are trying to odin the MK2 bootloader. You CANNOT downgrade the NB1 bootloader to MK2. In fact, you can possibly brick if trying to do so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
You need to re-read the section marked "Note" in the op. You MUST ODIN THE MK2 AP FILE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING IN SAFESTRAP. Installing, wiping, backup, restore......anything. Once you do what you need to do in SS, you odinn the NB1 ap file and reboot to your 4.4.2 os. Always read op fully on something like this fully, or even multiple times before beginning.
