Stupid question regarding LOKI - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I've always flashed everything and I'm on an unlocked bootloader from Canada. I've been flashing everything as usual but noticed all these loki threads... What are they and can I still flash as I did through twrp?

Loki version is for ATT ( as we have locked bootloader ) , you should NOT flash lokid version.

Did you try reading any of these Loki threads?

T-Mobile and Sprint ROMs on AT&T variant

Has anyone tried these yet? I'm assuming they'd work since OUDHS has auto-loki now but I haven't tested and don't wanna screw up my phone

yes they work i have been running Tmobile roms since day one of exploit release. been running death star and wicked have fun rom on!!
and yes use shabby's recovery so the auto loki is there. if not you have to flash the rom and a loki kernel( like KT kernel) before you can reboot the device!

How about the kernels? I'm about to see if ChronicKernel will work from the T-Mobile forum
Edit: Damn, no luck for me. Had to go into the zip and edit the updater-script because it would pull "ro.product.device" and check if it was jfltetmo and it wouldn't flash if it wasn't so I changed that to jflteatt and zipped it back up and it installed but would go past the Samsung Custom boot screen, just kept rebooting to there

The kernels need to be lokid...there's a recovery that will auto Loki all kernels so I suggest using that if you plan on flashing roms from other s4 variants...the recovery is in the development section, its hard to miss it says auto Loki in its title

on top of stock rom, my stock rom was JeallyBean 4.2.2 i337 mf3 not mdl and i read there are no mf3 files for odin
So i managed to fix this problem just by downloading stock rom for my phone and flashing with safestrap: Galaxy S4 rooted Stock ROM AT&T SGH-i337 MF3 (i found that on google)
The rom i downloader is rooted. and it said to install Loki after finishing flashing rom but i managed not to.
after you finished flashing you need to install also: jflteatt-MF3-modules(attachment) : this will make your wifi to work.
Every thing i just said, worked for me! do this at your own risk! im not responsible for any damages!!!
Wait what if you flash MDL with safestrap, and use goo.im for TWRP? It could possibly brick but just an idea.

It wouldn't. The bootloader is still MF3 no matter what you do to the system, and so it will still be locked with no way to bypass it.

Loki doki

Just root my phone recently. I'm wondering what is loki? Since some roms require loki. I'm using s4 i337m or a Canadian model. Thanks!

It is a S4's exploit that unlocks bootloader or bypasses bootloader so that you can install TWRP or other recoveries to flash custom roms. If your device has higher version than MF3, you can't use loki doki. Simply, if you rooted your phone with motochopper, that means you are in MDL or lower version in which you can use loki doki. i believe that you are on MF3 or higher, so visit this thread before doing something wrong.

You don't need it at all with Canadian models. There are several threads within the forums that cover this information.
I rooted my phone using cf auto root. It has already custom recovery. It means i don't need loki anymore. Thanks!

|HELP|custom recovery + root + unlock bootloader|

I'm planning on getting a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337. I've been looking through the android development thread and came across some some threads with TWRP and some other root methods. I heard that AT&T came out with a few new updates for the phone that effects some of the root methods and I don't know which one or if any. I know how to flash recoverys and ROMS through Odin, but I have no clue how to unlock the bootloader for the GS4. I also don't know any other methods of flashing recoverys or ROMS outside of Odin. BTW I plan on flashing cyanogenmod 11. I've only owned samsung phones. I'm new to this phone so I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

In the post I said I was planning on getting the GS4. I don't have the phone yet so I don't know, but I wanted to know if I could do all of this because if I can't then I'll get a different phone.

There is no way to unlock the bootloader. If you're just getting the device it's going to come with mk2 or nb1 firmware. There is a root method for mk2 but there currently is not a root method for nb1. With that said, there is a way to use a rooted rom on nb1.
i would highly suggest you read up on mk2, safestrap, and nb1. Look in the general forum, start with the stickies and then about the first 10 threads in general.

No. Not currently. The s4 is currently not rootable and if you use the method to get back to MF3 you can't use TWRP only safestrap. Also, you can't unlock the bootloader in anything MK2+.

You can't get back to mf3 and the bootloader was never unlocked. There was just an exploit to get around the locked boot loader with firmware prior to mf3

[Q] i337 MK2 rooted and Safestrap installed. Which roms?

Hello, I have just bought a Galaxy S4 i337 unlocked from Amazon. Still on 4.3 and MK2 firmware. I have rooted it and successfully installed Safestrap. Which roms can I flash with it? Also, when I flash a custom rom will I lose the Sim unlock and is there something I can flash to unlock it if so? I will be using this on Straight Talk. I know there are threads about these things but I keep finding different answers. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
First, you won't lose the sim unlock by flashing roms. As far as roms, look in the general forum for index all things mk2, nb1
