I found the easiest way to root the latest official JB
This is very useful for now becoz there is no any rooted kernel or what ever so HOW I M GONNA FLASH DEODEXED ROM THRU ODEXED ?
SOLUTION :
FLASH THIS THRU STOCK RECOVERY http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
FLASH THRU ADB SIDELOAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
THIS WAY IS TESTED AND IS WORKING PERFECTLY :laugh:
And of course this is not for permanent. This way is just installing SU and CWM so you can flash proper ROM / KERNEL
PRE-LONGED USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK :silly:

You're currently on mdl firmware. This firmware allows you to put on a custom recovery and flash roms. Are you sure you want to update? You will no longer have the ability to put on a custom recovery.

Yes to all your question.....i337MK2 tar md5 contain 4 seperated files ( first released ) follow the image guide where u have to place into ODIN SLOT ....the one that said combined ALL IN ONE ( newest released ) mean that u just flash into PDA ODIN SLOT ONLY.....just follow that guide on second post it would get u to latest ATT MK2 4.3 firmware. But like @jd1639 said with MDL firmware u can install anything even 4.4.2 rom and also there is alot of custom stock rom without ATT bloatware out there that u can install .....goodluck and PM me if u need more help. FYI if u got helped by someone please hit THANK button to show your appreciation ....:good::good:
I'll update my S4 to the latest update and you can send me yours. I'd kill for mdl firmware...

That is my another question regarding ATT bloatware? Will the combined TAR file contain the ATT bloatware?
Is there a way I can remove the ATT bloatware after I have upgraded the phone, as I find the ATT bloatware annoying

Yes it contains all the bloatware, another reason not to upgrade and flash custom roms.
Edit, it has not been mentioned yet but one you upgrade you can not go back to a previous firmware.
When I upgrade to MK2, does this mean I will need to perform factory reset and all my existing app will be gone or will the app remain on the phone even after the upgrade.
I will do the backup before the upgrade but at the moment when I connect the Phone to the PC, it would mot pick up so maybe I will need the latest software driver, is that correct? I have the same problem with Kies which does not recognise when phone is connected.
Any suggestion would be great.

Not always, most times a factory reset is needed to clear the phone of old apps and data. Root, is lost, but apps that require root can still be present which can become a problem when root is no longer available.

He's on mdl which allows a custom recovery and easy flashing of roms. If he upgrades to mk2, the latest, he'll lose that ability. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47713264
Right, we have a custom recovery and an unlocked boot loader and I flashed an older build of that Google edition ROM, but he just really wants the ability to move his apps2sd. I didn't see a mention of the apps2sd feature in the change logs. Thanks for replying so quickly.

Is possible to unlock my bootloader (running 4.3) for installing roms with custom kernel ?
Or any way to flash a stock rom without carrier stuff (drebranded)

Well I don't know the active and can only go by what I know of the i337. You're probably on ml3 firmware. The bootloader is probably locked and you can't unlock it. So safestrap is your only option. You'll be able to flash tw based roms only. There may be debloated roms available but you'll have to find those. Try googling i537 roms xda

Bro u must ask questions in question answer forums in this way u can get help more easily
lets come to the problem u cant use odin on pc becuase your bootloader is now locked so i suggest that u use mobile odin to flash it
mobile odin require your note 10.1 to be rooted to you should root it before proceeding
u can download proper firmware of your note 10.1 from sam mobile web site just down load it copy your rom in external sd card select appropriate options from mobile odin app and then flash it after flash is completed just open recovery by pressing power + up button while the tablet is booting and clear data and clear cache after that ur note will be downgraded to 4.1.2 and u will be good to go
backup ur data cuz this is going to clear everythig
my tab is not rooted. I downgrad my tab,will it do work proper?
some where I read that downgrade is not possible
please I need confirmation that it will not do any damege on my tab

Well search the forums and do a quick google there are plenty of guides to root your tablet also Downgrade of Bootloader is not possible otherwise rest of firmware can be downgraded and 4.1.2 has no trouble working with the new bootloader i my self downgraded via mobile odin and it is working fine.
Also i have compiled a simple guide on how to use mobile odin see if it helps you here u go

I have been researching how to do it, what I am concerned about is a lot of the information is somewhat old and I have heard that they have changed things on the phone.
Please give me a link to a current tutorial that will still work?

it is in multiple threads.. the root process has not changed since its been available.
you need to be on an older kk build (i use ncg) then use towel root.
Search my friend lol. Also, most L roms and other threads will also have specific instructions..
and i assume you mean you want to use your mobile data as a hotspot? most custom roms have this baked in..

you need to use odin to go back a 4.4.2 rom.. i would use ncg.. use towelroot latest apk, install busybox, and latest safestrap build for our phone..
once you have all this, you can flash a 5.0 L rom in safestrap, and then boot straight into download mode and odin the oa8 firmware only which should contain the oa8 kernel and oa8 modem only

Okay I installed odin.3.10.0
I installed the drivers to my computer and when I attached the phone I think it moved them there? Is that correct?
I downloaded g900vvru1ancg_full_odin.tar from the link in the thread you gave me and placed it on my computer.
I downloaded towelroot-v3 from the link in the thread you gave me. Do I place this on the removable sd card in my phone? then install to the phone like an app? Also can I install if from the removable sd card?
I downloaded safestrap-g900v-3.75 KitKat from the link in the thread you gave me. Do I place this on the removable sd card in my phone? Also can I install this from the removable sd card?
If I'm understanding this. At this point I will have a rooted phone with an earlier version of kitkat on it? Correct?
Then from safestrap recovery I install g900v_oa8_100%_stock_rooted_ROM which I placed on the removable sd card.
At this point I will be rooted with 5.0 on my phone correct?
Then to get the tether working I place the G900V_OAB_tetheringAddOn.zip on my removable card.
I then flash g900v_NK2_stock_kernel. Do I do this in Odin? or safestrap.
Then I flash G900v_OA8_Stock_kernel. Do I do this in odin or safestrap?
Am I correct in understanding that 5.0 stopped some of exploits used to root and change things on the phone and the work around is to flash completely back to an older version. Change what you need to change then flash back to the new version without overwriting the changes that were needed to be made?
Also, the second link you gave me. That's for a totally different ROM?

Check here for downloads: [SOFTWARE GUIDE]***Odin Back To Stock***[Root Files] Retail Verizon S5 Firmware Files
1-Download ROM.zip, TowelRoot.apk and Safestrap.apk and put it on an External Storage
2-Put phone in download mode by holding volume_down + power + home_key
3-Put NK2 Full Stock TAR [G900VVRU1ANK2_G900VVZW1ANK2_G900VVRU1ANK2_HOME.tar] in AP Slot in ODIN and flash it
4-Put phone in download mode holding volume_down + power + home_key
5-Once phone boots into stock NK2, go back to download mode, put NCG Kernel [NCG Kernel Only] in AP Slot in ODIN and press Start
6-Once it boots, install and run TowelRoot.apk [Towelroot] and make it rain! Then install Busybox (I use Busybox Installer) from the play store and then install Safestrap.apk [Safestrap Recovery v3.75] and once installed open it and Install Recovery. Some have had to repeat the Busybox and SU install before it will ask to update SU and disable knox.
7-At this point you should be able to boot into SS Recovery and make a backup and do an advanced wipe of everything but your SD card
8-Flash ROM.zip of your choice to stock slot, press HOME and then REBOOT and select DOWNLOAD MODE
9-If it is a rom later than NK2, flash the appropriate 5.0 Kernel for your device in AP Slot (PDA) in ODIN (AGAIN, DEODEX VERSION WILL TAKE UPWARDS OF 10-30 MINUTES ON FIRST BOOT ONLY)
For Android 5 ROMS, although Safestrap is still installed, it will not show until you flash NK2 kernel and reboot.

I sent a reply to your pm on installing safestrap. Yes, the kernels are all flashed in the ap slot in Odin.
