[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Apoplectic1:
Open SuperSU and go to the settings tab. Tap default access and tap "Grant Access". All apps will be automatically granted access, so be careful, but this should work on getting root for Titanium backup.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

Install the Safestrap apk onto your phone and open it. Once open just tap "Uninstall" and it will remove Safestrap from your device.

If you have problems getting it to open, go into your SuperSU app, go to the settings tab and under 'Default Access' tap 'Grant'. This will give all apps root access if it requests it, and it should open then.

No more Safestrap splash screens at boot.

Odin will flash this and you will have the official unrooted file. Make sure you follow the directions to get the file correctly.

Don't Forget to have it automatically remove encryption it.

I could use a little advice.

I have an ATT S4 I337 that is rooted and on MK2 Still. I don't have safestrap installed and don't have a want to install other roms as of yet. If I follow this guide and get up to the newest one can I still install safe strap later or is that something I should be doing now. I might in the future want to use other ROMS I do really hate the Samsung bloat. I just need to know that my phone is reliable. I don't want to partition my phone down to no space to find out which roms I like as well. Thanks for all advice given.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Fluffymufinz:
How do I gain root access on build number LRX22C.i337UCUGOK2? I got all the stuff for the flash, however I do not have root access and it looks as if CF Autoroot can't do it, nor can any other methods I have found. Everything teaches me how to flash, or do something similar, but I don't have any idea how to gain root access. Anybody that can help me I would be greatly appreciative.

My Android version is 5.0.1

Device is Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337

As I said anybody that can help me out I'd be greatly appreciative. Thank you in advance.

Which ROM to Use?

There are currently two ROMs listed in the first post:

- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip

- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM.zip

Is one "better" than the other? Or do we need both to complete this upgrade? If only one is needed, why would I choose one over the other?

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Trying to answer my own question, I found this:

https://www.androidpit.com/root-custom-roms-odexed-and-deodexed-what-s-the-difference

So it sounds like if I want to do more mods, themes, etc, then I should use deodexed. But odexed will make the phone faster. Since I'm not interested in more hacking, and faster would be nice, I guess I'll go with the first ROM, which I assume is odexed.

Is that right?

Thanks!

Audio Skipping?

I'm running this ROM and have been satisfied other than I'm getting strange skipping in audio playback from micro-SD card over bluetooth or even from phone speaker. Song will skip to next song randomly and get some weird warbling sound during playback. Listen to same file on Laptop and no problems.

Any fixes for that you guys know?

Will not work for me!!!!!!

I have done this 7 times now. I wait an hour after each time and still nothing happens. I have followed the directions perfectly. I use flashfire and put the deodexed rom in the "flash zip or ota spot" then I make sure auto mount is unchecked. I then select download mode. By default EverRoot is disabled and nothing is checked. I then use the lightingbolt and everything is good it then goes into download mode after everything is done and I then install the I337_OK2_Bootloader.tar.md5 using Odin in the AP slot, Odin tells me it has "pass!" it then boots to the "Samsung GALAXY S4" screen and sits there it has never made it to the AT&T splash screen!!!!

Any suggestion?????

OC4 update blackscreen

When I try updating and keeping root from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1_oc4 with the flashfire,when flash fire is done with its flashing and the device reboots it doesn't boot in download mode for the bootloader flashing. And also when it boots normally the home screen is all black and has popups with all the systems apps unfortunately close. Can someone advice if I missed something.

Note : I did these for my first s4 and everything went perfect, but on the second using the same method and files I get black screen and force close error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] curwiler:
After being a little uncertain due to recent posts, I went ahead an installed OK2 myself, and it works just fine for me.

Make sure you're starting from a rooted ROM as stated in POST 1.

I did not install the deodexed version.

I used Flashfire Pro 0.27.

I used Odin 3.09.

Double check your MD5 for your downloads. Redownload as needed.

My contacts have sync'd as expected, my back button works, only test I haven't done yet is bluetooth streaming.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sway8966:
You said you did it for 7 times so I took it as you restore the stock rom each time you failed to boot into the AT&T splash screen.

I was wondering Which stock rom you were installing falshfire and do the flashing.

Try to odin the NB1 rootable stock rom, root it with towl root, install the flashfire and flash it again. If you want you could try with the ok2 stock rooted rom instead.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

In the guide, it said to check the download mode in step # 5. Did you miss that part?

Flashfire works on the stock rom. Is your 4.4.4 is a stock rom?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TJTITAN:
Yes I did step 5, thank you for your concern but I got it fix. Instead of upgrading from 4.4.4 I downgraded back to 4.4.2 and used towelroot for rooting and it worked. Also when I was copying the lollipop zip file to SD card it only copied about to 95% all the time. So for this I had to unzip all the file to SD card and used es file explorer to compile them back, so that i would have the full 100% file. After doing all this I attempted reflashing again and I finally got lollipop and also have root.

Thank again muniz_ri and sway8966 for trying to help out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sway8966:
If you are on NC1 with rooted you do not need to go back to NB1. Just follow the procedure to upgrade to lollipop.

However, get the NB1 firmware and towel root just in case. In the future, if your phone bricked, you need to restart from the NB1.

If you have safestrap installed and working properly, then you can flash OK2 via safestrap.

Flashfire has some problem when you trying to run it from custom rom. It runs successfully on stock (rooted) rom. I did run flashfire on custom rom with no problem though.

This OP required you to install the stock rooted NB1, then rooted with towel root before you start the flashfire, as stated in step #4 at Notes section.

If yours is 4.2.2 please check the firmware version. If your firmware version (bootloader) is either MDL or MDB please do not use this guide. Those two bootloaders are exploitable.

If yours firmware is MF3 and later you can use this guide.

You can upgrade to 4.4.2 first and go from there.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ghujii:
First off the method itself worked beautifully. HOWEVER, I still have this same issue that seems to persist no matter what update i install, no matter how many times i wipe dalvik cache, or reformat/wipe the phone. it wont go away.. And Im losing my nerve with this phone. It will boot up fine after a fresh install for the first maybe 30 minutes, then crash randomly, then itll boot all the way up to the att splash and freeze. if i reboot or take out the battery, itll start back up to the unlock screen and freeze there, IF i get past that, itll show no upper(slide down) bar stating i have no wifi/connection/option/bluetooth nothing. AND if that magically works, then touchwiz wont respond no apps no sliding the screen, NOTHING. THEN if i get past that, if i even THINK about touching the volume button, itll lock up and freeze, then reboot and go back to figure 1(stuck at att splash). I have tried reformatting 12 times, wiping dalvik/normal cache more than 12 times. I have installed root/flashfire and tried to side load with sdcard updates from nb1 to nj4 up to ok2 and it stops at nj4 because theres a error code 7 from the file in the sd card. I have tried this method, but all it does is change the mask with the ugly error(face) lying under still. I have tried a number of things redundantly, I get processes isnt respond/touchwiz. So Im not sure where to go, but this has me at the end of my rope. ;/ Been at this for MONTHS. I of course have a sghi337, it is now updated to the latest model, but that doesnt seem to matter, there has to be something wrong deeper and im not sure how to access it to find it and or correct it. I have ALL the details written down. This started because I updated the phone per att's request and it corrupted mid download, and when i went to restart via safestrap nothing happened. Then whilst wiping with safestrap the sd card became unmounted and it sh*t the bed.
