Hey guys, I was searching for some info and ended up here in this forum regarding to rooting my smartphone, I read every step on this thread on how to do it but, I've also see that some people had some issues rooting this specific model which is an AT&T Samsung-SGH-1337 (Samsung Ga;axy S4), and to be honest, I'm kinda scared to root my phone, I don't wanna end up having a useless brick :p so, I'm gonna post my smartphone specs to be more specific into rooting it, if someone could help me out on how to root it in a secure way, that would be fantastic, I need your help guys, thanks in advance. :)

EDIT: I was trying to post my cellphone's specs but since this is my first post, a message poped out warning me that I can't post links to my pics outside this forum, what can I do? :P

Thanks very much, i saw someone say the play store version didn't work but i didn't realize that meant i needed an older version. So with your help, i finished the tutorial... only now i have another embarrassing problem. I'm new to the S4 and i didn't realize you couldn't use safestrap with MF3 so i tried installing it again after i got 5.0.1 working :crying:. After realizing it didn't work and uninstalling it, now i have no recovery mode. Is there any way to flash MF3 back on using Odin? Or am i screwed.

Edit: scratch that, i just started over again and my recovery came back. Whew! Thanks again.

Hello,

I am currently looking for a way to install a custom recovery on my samsung s4 sgh-i337 (5.0.1) phone so that I can backup my phone, wipe my phone, install a stable, stock rom with my apps & make a backup. From what I have read, my phone has a locked bootloader. I was able to root it using kingroot. I was able to install Rom manager. I was able to install twrp recovery & clockwork recovery using Rom manager but everytime I reboot into recovery, I am rebooted into stock recovery.

I want to be able to follow the workflow above so that I can restore my backup quickly in case my phone starts to lag. I really like how easy it would be to create/restore a backup in my proposed workflow in the custom recovery.

Will this tutorial allow me to install a custom recovery so that I can do this? I have scoured the internet and this tutorial seems to safest one for my situation because it is for a samsung sgh-i337 5.0.1 phone

My phone specs:

Model: samsung SGH-I337

baseband version: I337UCUGOK2

build number: LRX22C.I337UCUGOK2

AT&T version

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmeas:
No, this tutorial will get you a rooted stock 5.0.1, and guide you through the process of installing the xposed framework. Given that all recent basebands have locked bootloaders, and it is impossible to downgrade to a version with an unlocked bootloader, your only custom recovery option is safestrap. However, safestrap does not work well with Lollipop, so you are limited to Kitkat roms if you want a consistently functional safestrap experience.

This is nearly the entire knowledge base for the i337. Scroll to custom recoveries.

Make TWRP stick

I'm on the same phone. Did the Kingoroot like you. Then installed the latest version of TWRP. When you do this, one of the steps it to download the recovery.img on to your phone. IMMEDIATELY after flashing the recovery through the app, if you click on the menu in the upper left, there is a reboot option. Use this to reboot straight to the newly flashed recovery.

From there, you need to go to the 'Install' function, and lower right click 'image'. Navigate to your downloads folder and find the recovery.img and flash it. Now it will stick to TWRP all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] buyabook:
I followed your steps but the TWRP app failed when I try to flash the recovery.img. I uninstalled ROM manager, TWRP App, rebooted the phone & reinstalled the TWRP app but it didn't give me an option to select the recovery.img that I wanted to flash..

So this is great for getting a custom LolliPop firmware, but what if I want just the stock SGH-i337 Lollipop 5.0.1 firmware? Why can't I seem to find that anywhere? I'm running custom KitKat and I just want to go back to stock Lollipop.

Also, my virus protection says that towelroot site is a malware site...what's up with that?

Where is the download SDK21 ARMv7 from developer @arter97 is the version required by

Hi, please help as I can not find SDK21 ARMv7 , I am working on i377 am trying to load Xposed framework.

SDK21 ARMv7 from developer [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] is the version required by your SGH-I337, which has a Snapdragon 600 CPU and should now be running a rooted, deodexed version of Android 5.0.1 Lollipop. Alternatively, developer [MENTION=2715309]dkcldark[/MENTION] has released a beta version based on [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]'s work that implements a more recent (at the time of writing) version of Xposed, available here.

I did try xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon file and another file for snapdragon/ touch wiz and both after loading with Odin3 put phone to ATT white splash screen for over 50 minutes at which point I stopped phone. Perhaps I should have waited longer?

Hello, great guide. Got a rooted SGH-I337 and I'm happy with that and a less bloated OS. The Xposed framework and the "Custom" padlock removal pieces did not work, both resulted in phone stuck on on AT&T blue logo on white splash screen.

After getting through this guide I do see AT&T trying to deliver an OTA update, will this remove root? Is there a way to see what this update is? Since the phone was on stock Lollipop 5.0.1 (unrooted) prior to this, not sure what the OTA will achieve.

Ok, everything went as planed up to step 4 in section "Rooting and Upgrading Firmware", but flashfile link did not work, probably because the app is no longer in beta. So, I installed the release version from the Playstore.

Then in step 5, it seems that flashfile did some work because a bunch of text lines scrolled by, but when it rebooted, it didn't reboot in Download mode, and it didn't hang on the "black" Samsung screen. Instead, it appeared to hang on the white AT&T globe image and I let it stay on the screen for 25 mins and still NG.

So, I turned off the phone and manually put it in Download mode, and flashed the bootloader. But then I got a bunch of "app xxxx has stopped" errors when it tried to boot up and it kept giving those errors forever and never booted up.

What can I try?

UPDATE: The reason why it didn't work is because the current version of FlashFire no longer works with the i337. You need to use the older version 0.53, which can be downloaded from a post towards the end of the FlashFire discussion thread here on XDA. (TIP: You should still buy the current version of Flashfire so you don't have to deal with the timebomb in version 0.53 where you have to set the date in the past for it to work.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] imzjustplayin:
It should be noted that when following the OP guide, you should use the following versions otherwise it will not work:

SuperSu v2.40

Flashfire v0.53, when using this version, be sure to set the clock on the phone back to the year 2012.

towelroot whatever version they have as of today.

Odin v3.09 worked for me

seems that deviating from the versions by using higher versions will cause it to fail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] crgeek:
I'm trying to root my old Galaxy S4 but can't get TowelRoot to work. Initially my phone was on Android 5 (I think it was 5.0.1 but don't remember for sure). So, based on the instructions at the beginning of this thread I downgraded to 4.4.2 using the Rootable NB1 ROM referenced in Step 1 of the "Downgrading Firmware" section. I then installed TowelRoot but when I click "make it ra1n" it always says "Please ensure you are connected to the internet". Any ideas? As suggested in Step 2 of "Prep Work" I checked the Android version and it is 4.4.2, and the baseband ends with NB1.

EDIT: I forgot to mention...I am able to get on the internet via the web browser, so I know I am connected.

It's full-grain leather (the best you can get) from American cattle, sent to Europe to be tanned and back to Oregon Leather Company. Once dyed and finished, the leather is shipped to us, then we laser cut and handcraft to perfection. It's quite a process, and it took us quite some time to get the 6P all dialed in. The leather is ~1.5mm thick, so it'll take any drop and the phone won't wear through on the corners like the super thin Horween used by others. With that being said, we made the wrap all one piece; without the visor coverage, the surrounding leather would protrude and look pretty bad.

True story: Matias (owner) unknowingly dropped his leather wrapped iPhone outside his house when dropped off by a cab late one night. The next day, he managed to track it down at a neighbors' using the "Find my iPhone" feature. He determined that the cab had ran over the phone; there were even little pieces of gravel imbedded into the leather which managed to take all of the damage. Replaced the shattered screen and it was as good as new.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LAURCORE:
More pics and reviews are in the works. FYI - the leather is ~1.5mm thick. You could surely apply the front panels atop a screen protector, but I don't think you'll be able to cram it into a case. Honestly, I don't see why you'd want to case that smooth, buttery leather. It'll take any drop and the phone won't wear through on the corners like the super thin Horween used by others.

It's gonna take my leather toast skin a couple of weeks, so in the meantime I had ordered a Slickwraps leather back. The quality is not as high as toastmade but I needed a skin quickly.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crash_194:
Just out of interest, what made you choose slickwraps over dbrand?

I've only ever dealt with dbrand so far so I'm not really aware of how the different companies compare and what they actually do different?

The toastmade stuff I've seen on the internet does look top notch.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] spotmark:
I guess I'd have to see it in person, from that picture it almost makes the phone look plastic.

I wanted a real leather skin for my 6P. I don't think dbrand sells real leather skins.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] scissors_cut_paper:
I just replaced my dbrand black leather (vinyl) with a slick wraps real leather one. It was a lot easier to apply, I don't think the fit is quite as exact, but the feel of it is so much better.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jackwins:
Okay, its official. The Slickwraps leather skin sucks. The leather is thin and plasticity feeling. It does provide grip though. It will have to do until my toastmade skin comes in though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crash_194:
Will be interesting to hear feedback on the quality and fit of the toastmade wrap.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dbrand skins. I've got a combo of the light and dark brushed metal and it was like applying Armour it was that thick and good quality! Love how they give you some spare pieces as well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tech_head:
Looks interesting.

I might bite. I would love a real carbon fiber version like the wood.

A carbon fiber pattern in the leather would do.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cgalyon:
I would like to know if you used the Slickwraps leather or the Slickwraps "Natural Series" leather (one is real leather, the other is vinyl). I was considering the Slickwraps Natural Series because it looked fairly modest (doesn't cover the entire back), is less than $30 and looks fairly nice. However, if it is really thin and feels like plastic, I'll pass on it. Thanks!
