[MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION],

Just used your guide to go back to stock NJ4 and root, thanks.

When I went to the link for towelroot that you have in step 2, I was confused by the absence of a link to download tr.apk, and then noticed that the thread has been locked on March 20, with the note "Op left and no longer supporting this cause..."

I found a version of towelroot to use. I was rooted but no SuperSU. Just wondering which version of towelroot to use, and if the guide should be updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks. Glad the thread helped.

The XDA thread for towelroot is just the devs support thread. In his OP is a link to his website where the download is... https://towelroot.com

His thread may be closed, but his site is still up. Click on the red symbol (I'm sure it has a name, but I don't know it :( ) to download the file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] creepyncrawly:
Yeah, now I see the instructions: click the lambda... oh well. I completely missed that the symbol was a live link.

Edit: click on the lambda symbol results in "page can't be displayed".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Not sure why. Worked fine for me in Chrome on my PC. Clicked the "lambda" symbol and tr.apk automatically started downloading.

Just tested it again on a different computer and noticed the file was flagged by my A/V program. Symantec thought it was malware.

Post 2 updated with OC3 Lollipop Instructions. Thanks [MENTION=5939135]brownie9987[/MENTION] for figuring out the steps that were needed.

Cliff notes...

1. Odin to NB1

2. Manually flash NJ4 OTA

3. Take OC3 OTA

No root yet, but [MENTION=5939135]brownie9987[/MENTION] has also confirmed that after taking OC3 OTA, you CAN odin back to NB1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
Here is the latest........I have a 100% Stock, Rooted, ROM that is a little buggy however I have a 100%_Stock_Rooted_Safestrap_Backup that works flawlessly. My preference is to go with the completely self-contained ROM to keep it simple but I will release the backup tonight if I can't cleanup the ROM. As for Safestrap it will no longer function on 5.0 but you can flash back the 4.4.4 kernel to access it and flash mods, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Lilchampsean:
Thank You! so should I go for the OTA or the backup you have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
If you don't care about root, take the ota. You can always downgrade later and flash the backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sian23:
Noob Here

Can i just do this...? MDL -> NB1?

Or should i update it MDL -> MK2 ->NB1

I don't care anything about root...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
All you need to flash is NB1.

BUT... You will lock down your bootloader for good and lose the ability to flash non-touchwiz based ROMs and other kernels. However, if you don't care about root, that probably won't bother you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sian23:
Thanks!

And yes i have red everything from post 1 to 2

After the NB1 update i think i should go straight to OC3 soon..

I still don't know when will i update it,but i'll post here whatever happens to the update

Hello guys

can I update directly from NB1 TO OC3 without NJ4

by stock recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hiltinuts2:
Just an FYI for the noobs like me; the part below took a long while; specifically "Patching System Files" .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Try it. I don't have my Galaxy S4 anymore, or I'd do it myself. I based my instructions on what others posted.

Odin back to NB1, then skip to part 3... Check for OTA. If there is one, let us know if it upgrades you to NJ4 or OC3.

BTW - As he mentioned above, [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] posted a way to upgrade to lollipop from NJ4 and keep root.

I can't update by ota :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ClearD:
So for confirmation, if I got a gs4 yesterday and updated to the latest OTA (5.0.1, assuming bootloader OC3? Not sure how to check yet), I'm basically screwed on rooting for the time being, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Farsat Sagvan:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
If you are referring to the OTA... don't know. As long as you are not rooted, try the OTA in the settings menu. Worst that will happen is it will say no update available.

If you are referring to upgrade workaround which retains root... check out the other thread to confirm. One post says it can be done from any build. Another recommends you start on NJ4

Hello. I recently fixed my S4 and have been trying to update to OC3. I went back to stock completely and I am on NC1. No matter how many times I try, if I try to update via the stock recovery the phone stays on NC1. Can't OTA either. Any help is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] caccolino:
someone can help me ??

I was updating a lollipop, only the point:

"5. Last, the I337_OC3_Stock_Partitions flash using Odin's PDA slot (AP Odin v3.09 +) and reboot. Done!"

odin no longer recognizes the phone so I can not go more forward ,.the samsung galaxy s4 is written and it does not happen more nothing ..

if someone is kind enough to help me ........

P.S:

I can get into the recovery of samsung and in download mode ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Can confirm that if you are on NB1 and select the "software updates in the Settings menu, that it will download and install the NJ4 update. Therefore, I'm assuming the same would hold true for NC1.

Which steps are you following? You need to Odin back to NB1 stock, then flash the update in the stock recovery.

If you are rooted, OTA won't work. May explain your OTA issue.

Hey guut13. Thanks for this. I was able to use it to downgrade a ATT S4 I purchased that had already been upgraded to Lollipop (not a fan of Lollipop). Quick question. I was doing a side by side of the device info and saw the build date for SE for Android is different in the zip file you point to vs another S4 I have on ATT that has only had OTA updates. Just wondering why. Inquiring minds trying to learn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Glad you were able to downgrade. As for your question... no clue. Sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] M3RS3:
Hi

Two silly questions.

1. if we downgrade LP to KK, the bootloader stays OC3 or change the firmware of the one put ex. NB1

2. Know if someone tried to putting the loki-doki patch inside the OC3 Stock Partiton .zip I know to unlock the bootloader is gone but that was a fool question lol...

Thanks a lot...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
1. The downgrade method I am aware of is flashing the NB1 Odin tar. When you do that, it makes everything NB1.

2. I'm sure someone has tried loki on all versions since it stopped working on version MF3. I would assume once Samsung plugs a whole, it stays plugged. To answer your question, I don't know anyone that has reported success or failure. But if it DID work, I'm sure we would have heard about it by now.

I'm trying to flash NJ4 and gain root access with Towelroot. I'm following the guide in the first post. Step 1 worked fine and now I'm on step 2. I just flashed the NC1 kernel and I cannot get my phone to connect to my computer. I've tried reinstalling the drivers several times, running it in MTP and PTP modes, etc, and it still won't recognize the phone. This wasn't an issue until I flashed the NC1 kernel. I also noticed that wifi stopped working when I flashed the NC1 kernel. How do I fix this?

edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. I entered download mode and Odin recognized my phone just fine. I then flashed the NJ4 kernel and everything works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Glad you are all set.

FYI - In order for wifi to work, you need to flash the modules that match the kernel. Had you flashed the nc1 modules after odin NC1 kernel, wifi would have worked. The reason that is not one of the steps is because you are only on NC1 kernel long enough to root and install safestrap. Wifi isn't needed for that.

I bought my white note 4 on Oct 30 or 31, can't remember, I read all the problems with this fingerprint scanner stuff, but I did not root for 2 days. and the past 2 days I did everything I was on NIH, and when testing my stock odexed roms, I had the fingerprints saved, but when I flashed, I couldn't log in, so when I deleted the saved fingerprints is when this happened, the error messages,

I did the firmwares so many times for the NIH, did not work... :crying: I then upgraded the firmware to NJ7 same thing, could not get it working...

I went to another tmobile store, and the guy went into downloader mode.. shocked me,, but he said I need to goto where I bought the phone to change it out, he didn't have any note 4... but he went and reset the phone and didn't work...

when I got home, I called tmobile 611... and went through the process and they said, they don't have any replacements, since I didn't buy the phone from them, they can't send a new phone, for me to goto the tmobile store I bought the phone, but no one has the note 4.. call back next week and we can send a replacement.

I called the corporate store today, they had 2 in black, I really wanted the white, but I took the black anyway.. lucky they were so busy, they didn't check the phone and swapped everything out.

I guess im gonna wait a bit before rooting and flashing the phone, to see what everyone finds out. :(

Hi Shreps

Bootloader is JB-8efc225 and I am running Image Acer_AV051_A511_RV00RC06_EMEA_DE (Android 4.1.2)

Both TWRP and CWM are compatible with AOSP ROM (Cyano, AOKP, Paranoid, etc.)

Maybe this is the issue. Try with the latest TWRP first, and if it doesn't work try to flash CWM 6.04.5 and flash CyanogenMod 10.1 or 10.2 (Android 4.2.2 / Android 4.3)

If it's working fine, then upgrade recovery and flash a 4.4.4 ROM :)
