So i have an At&t Samsung Galaxy s4 running 4.2.2, and i'm trying to root my phone with motochopper. Only problem is, is that when it tries to root is says failure. I can't get it to root! I've tried different cables, updates to my drivers. I don't know what else to do!:crying:

you cannot root with MF3 firmware... welcome to the club!
Sorry but you posted this in the wrong thread, this is for Android Development. Try Questions & Answers or in the actual motochopper thread.

im going to help you out. The Baseband Version: I337UCUAMF3 is not rootable. So you wont be able to root unless you can go exchange it for another new one. if not, you're screwed till they find a root for MF3.
Also you shouldnt post in the Development section. Leave all your questions in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section. which can be found here.
sorry about that guys. Thanks for the help though i appreciate it!

when you update via ota no files are deleted and updating to latest version is always good thing to do.

The firmware updates are usually for stability, new kernels etc. These firmwares updates are not applicable to custom roms.
Nope data isn't lost in OTA updates. Not sure about the KIES ones but I reckon they wont do anything bad.

I think you're going to apply the OTA Updates for the ROM you're using. Am I right? Well, you can apply it SAFELY by following instructions carefully.
Press THANKS

Baseband: I337MUMUAMG3
Kernel: 3.4.0-1163001
Build number: JDQ39
Selinux status: permissive
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda premium
I am on the same boat... I do have this device since a month. Had it rooted with motochopper with out-of-the-box firmware PDA: I337MUMUAMDJ Changelist: 518267 Android: 4.2.2 then unrooted to do the OTA update to the latest released firmware PDA: I337MUMUAMG3 Changelist: 1163001 Android: 4.2.2
Now I tried the motochopper again and it says "failed" and/or that su binary is outdated ??? Do not know what it means, only that don't have su permission. Under about device it does reads "SELinux status: Persmissive" with Baseband version: I337MUMUAMG3
Does the Baseband is locked or what? I do not know a lot... please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have bought my GS4 from a small store in my country and not from the importer back in July.
I saw that the latest update for the device was out and tried to update it in the device it self and it didn't work.
Next i have installed Samsung Kies to update the device and then the Kies as informed me that my "firmware version is not supported to update".
the current firmware is(as noted by Kies):
PDA:MDE / PHONE:MD9 / CSC:MD9 (KSA)
Model :
GT-I9500
Android version:
4.2.2
Baseband version:
I9500JKUAMD9
Kernel version:
3.4.5-447845
[email protected] #1
Fri Apr 12 17:22:34 KST 2013
Build number:
JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDE
My question is can I reverse the device back to factory firmware and ROM?
If not, can you direct me to a ROM which looks like a Samsung original ROM?
I am sure that someone have already asked this question but i didn't find it when i was looking the search tool...
Many Thanks
Omri Arielly
P.S: I am so sorry for my English in is not my first language

Still need help with this, or to know if it's possible to do at the moment, thank again.
Hello to all developers in the forum. I want desperately your help because i messed up with my phone.
Recently i changed rom to my device. I think that it had the stock firmware from its factory which it was 4.2.2 (i am not so sure).
I updated to 4.3 rom through many difficulties.
The information i can give you is this:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: I337UCUEMK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1921628 KST 2013
Build Number: JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
I would appreciate any help because my wifi doesn't work as well as the data,the keybord and many other applications. I think that i didnt install the correct kernel. All i did was through odin because i cant install rom through recovery mode. I also cant return to factory mode. PLEASE HELP ME
sammobile.com. didnt work for me!!!
Boot the phone into download to confirm the model #.
Do you see anything about Knox or warranty bit in download mode?
