[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sw1173:
The bootloader on MK2 and later is encrypted and without the key it will always fail. ODIN sees the ABOOT is locked and cannot flash the complete image. AT&T and Verizon have chosen this method to keep you off their cheaper competitors. I had to take my I337 to Best Buy Samsung experience to have it re flashed so that it would boot after a refused OTA from MDL and now it is a paperweight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AmpGuitarChase:
I don't think Odin is the issue as it flashes what I like to call "The cure-firmware" .md5 AP_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5) file just fine every time with no issues with Odin. Only when I try to flash that file, it works. I wish there was a way to tell what exactly is going wrong with the other files. I also can't seem to find where I located this file, but whatever it's doing works on my S4. I'd like to find either a 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 version of this stock OS that would work.

I'm beginning to wonder if it'd be more worthwhile to reroot, reset the flag binary counter, reset, and drive an hour and a half away to the closest AT&T store and see if they can fix my device. Does this sound like it may be my best course of action?

Again, thanks for all the help guys. I means a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
There is no way to downgrade to 4.2.2 from MK2. The bootloader is locked. Read the guide for MK2 it will help you.

Check your APN settings re enter according to correct settings posted on XDA.

Hey guys,

Solution confirmed!

I remedied the situation by flashing an NB1 firmware on the device. I'm aware that this firmware has a locked bootloader, but Loki is evidently a solution to that problem. I'll cross that bridge eventually when I cross it.

You guys are terrific and I really appreciate all the assistance that you've offered.

Take care.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Don't flash Loki to your phone, as it's only for MF3 not MK2 or above. You need to read the guide, which obviously you still haven't or you wouldn't be talking about flashing Loki on the new 4.4.2 Kit Kat firmware. Reading saves phones!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AmpGuitarChase:
John The Rhino,

Thank you for the advice. I posted in a hurry earlier out of excitement and stated the incorrect method as you've pointed out. I'll be sure to be extremely thorough in the future when I decide to flash new software to my device. You've been a tremendous help and it is greatly appreciated.

Take care until my next issue. Haha.

You're welcome. I'm glad it all worked out for you. As they say in the construction business, measure twice, cut once. Well same here, except I'd recommend as do others to read thrice (3x) FLASH once. Then you'll rarely have issues. Enjoy.

i337 same issue as original post

i have done the same research as posted in this link and read exhaustively every means google XDA and all the other pages dealing with rooting and flashing my AT&T s4 i337. I have ended up in the same boat as this guy with:

Baseband version - I337UCUFNB1

Build Number - JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2

i have attempted Kingo Loki, Motochopper, Odin(4 or 5 versions) adb flash in Linux(2 builds) and Winblows 7. My original desire was to have this build

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJLKX_QWSpc

which got my hopes up immensely, as having wasted days upon days several times over the course of the last 9 months rooting this i337. The guy in the vid says he was able to get UT up and running following guidance from XDA. I want to be able to flash a twrp-like dual boot recovery to my device maintaining Andy functionality using UT as a daily driver.

I have read, as reading saves phones, everything I can glean from the aforementioned posts and forms, researched this thing to death and neded up with a phone with the knox-? security message listed in the original post. I have no Idea where to go from here, but know you guys do, as like a myriad of others, I worship this site like a god.

Please help an old retired disabled veteran of most of the sandy wars in the past 25 years. All I have now are my devices which bring me some comfort to my days.

I really need your help, as I've tried seemingly all and have a semi-dead i337.

You're going to have to downgrade to mk2 firmware using Odin. Then root using saferoot. Then install safestrap. Then you can flash roms. Start in the general forum and look for index, all things nb1, mk2. There's a lot of info and links there

Ps, you're not going to ut working on your device. You'll only be able to use touch wiz based roms.

I guess my question is, do i go ahead and hunt down a "TW" type rom (suggested on thread) and wing it from there? how do i get the roms on the sd card? Switching to Ubuntu and checking ADB options for pushing or sideloading...

any advice?

Download the bypasslkm to your sd card and flash it in safestrap. You'll flash a rom to the primary slot, also downloaded to your sd card

I've performed these steps all over again as I tried installig roms and gapps in the slots prepared. Once booted to them the screen was all aquamarine and purple. After a while my i337 was stuck on a samsung modified(or whatever) screen and wouldn't progress past it.

Second application of said steps produced exact results.

Is it possible I have the wrong Safestrap? I have no idea of which one to d/l and push. One part of my settings ended with MK2 and the other one with NB1.

I'll push the other one during the third time through and post my findings.

sheesh!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] buxtor:
***UPDATE***

to fix, downloaded Safestrap 3.71 inserting it at the appropriate steps

1. Odin with proper AP and Pit

2. use saferoot (in Winblows 7)

3. Rebooted phone will have SU. open and apply update and Knox wipe

4. Open debugging and move bypasslkm, esfilemgr and Safestrap.apk

5. Use Safestrap Version 3.71 or 3.72, depending on your build of OS , very important

**if you used the wrong safestrap, you'll probably see a turquoise screen with intermittent purple. Rinse and repeat with other Safestrap version***

6. boot to recovery after installing safestrap and install the bypasslkm.zip file over top of the stock rom.

7. when rebooted, go into Init d app and select the ON option at the top, then the nb1 wifix script. viola, wifi!

Still unsure how to install Roms with Safestrap...

Stand by for further updates.

See you on the other side...

I have very little internal free storage. I have NO NEED WHATSOEVER for rom slots 4 & 5. Perhaps 2 as well. Is there anyway to ditch slots 3,&4 to make slot 1 huge? So IO am not constantly running out of internal storage/

same issue with gs4

hi i am having the same exact issue with my s4 could you tell me step for step what u did to fix yours ? I would greatly appreciate it.. ive tried everything lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robquillan:
Hello, I am new to xda this is my first post so I hope I put it in the right place.

I bought an s4 from a private seller assuming that because it wa a verizon and that means cdma where I live , that I would be able to activate it as a cdma straight talk phone with the activation kit from straight talk ,

I tried but it when I get to the part of the ctivation were it askes for my sim card to be put in the phone ........I get lost because I thought cdma Verizon required no sim,

so I think this means that they want to activate my phone as a gsm phone ...... this wont get any service in my area I need cdma.

so I went and had my phone flashed ....with a donor phone and it works but I hate it the pic messaging is all screwed up ....I just want a stock feel and not to have to you third party apps to txt

BIG question.. is it possible to reflash my phone back to stock and activate it the right way? if not are there any s4's that straight talk will accept under the cdma ?

I know this is a mess but any input would be great thanks in advance

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
First, what model phone do you actually have? The Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-i545) is in fact a CDMA/GSM/LTE phone, which does have a SIM.

It sounds like you should re-flash the factory ROM. Perhaps the easiest way to do that is to plug it in and use the Verizon Recovery Assistant. Or, use Samsung Kies to re-flash it - those will WIPE your phone, however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robquillan:
no gsm has to be cdma

ok thankyou to all... here is the problem I got a cdma phone because were I live cdma is all that works no t-mobile - no att and sprint is also bad

only cdma versions of tracfone , straight talk, and verizon work well here.

my phone is the verizon cdma phone

but i'm only interested in activating it under cdma not gsm

Straight talk has a s3 that runs on the cdma here some friends have it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
I also am interested in doing this, I have talked to Walmart and straight talk as well and they both say the same if its true or not I'm not sure but they said that all you need is the sim kit and set the right apn , and yes we do have a sim in this phone so I would guess you will need it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
OK, so if you're using a Verizon Galaxy S4, which supports the following bands: (see here)

LTE: Bands 4/13;

CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz;

HSPA+/UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100MHz;

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz

All you should have to do is to read out the ESN and activate it if your carrier is on 800/1900 MHz CDMA.
