How are you wiping the cache partition? Custom recoveries and ROMs can not be used on AT&T MF3.

this is a known issue with stock recovery on all S4's. some users have no issue with the recovery on one version and then this exact issue after a software update. i'd do some more research to see what your options are.

Yeah that's what I would like to know lol.

We don't even know if OP is on MF3. A suggestion like that could result in a brick.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he's on MF3 he has root, but no recovery, so he wouldn't be able to even flash a Rom to brick it

He could try to flash a recovery though to try to flash a rom and then he'd be sol.

Im on mdl and have a twrp from the motorchopper tool. Other than that im stock. Is there a tut on how to flash a tmobile stock rom to an att variant? I downloaded the rom already and was wanting to read into it more before flashing.

There is no way you checked out those links that quick. And if you did, you would have clearly seen the answer to your question. Take some responsibility for your device. I have told you EXACTLY where to look for what you need, it is up to you to take the time to read and learn about it.
I read the entire post there was hardly any mention of the i337 mainly the m919 it says flash your kernel but which is that since I am flashing a tmobile rom on a att phone using tmobile service.

Firstly, start here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42320414&postcount=2
The fact that your are running the MF3 bootloader will prevent you from flashing any custom kernels due to the blown qFuse. Your only option as of right now is to root your device either using Kingo or jortex's root exploit. From their your need to install Hashcode's Safestrap Recovery and go from there with TouchWiz based ROM's for MF3.

Thats correct no custom kernels witch means no overclocking,I think with rom toolbox you can change the voltages.

just asking to see if there's any last hope for it but whats LOKI? ive heard about it in the past. Ive seen on KT's Kernel thread it would work on TW but im guessing it wont work for me being the qfuse issue.
Also if none of these are an option whats the point anymore to root? my old S3 was amazing and i loved flashing new things on it but it seems so locked down now to where the only real benefit of rooting is bloatware removal.

There is a lot of information about "LOKI" and "Rooting" in the General, Development, and Original Development sections.
This phone frustrates the **** out of me. So its rooted and all that with safestrap and when I flash a TW rom all it says is go to slot one and ceeate that and wipe the phone and install and when I do that and reboot all I get os a black screen with a blue led at the top

Use the MF3 Odin files, go back to stock and try again. Are you positive you didn't accidentally flash your TouchWiz ROM to the stock slot? Also... was what ROM was it?
I tried StockUp MJ6 4.3 TW rom. When id flash id do tue wipe it says in the instructions and then go and create rom slot 1 and install to that and then reboot to no avail. Ill have to try the stock ODIN when I get home

You need to use the 4.2, not 4.3 in ss.

Flight5 flashed well and nlKTs kernel didnt w9rk like I figured. It does seem abit faster but as far as benchmark scores its the same. FYI to anyone reading this if you want an S4 and want the non MF3 go to RadioShack and buy your phone. At our store we got 12 of the good S4s in stock

I have an S4 running 4.2.2 and it's currently rooted. But the root does not allow me to have a custom recovery. I want to be able to flash Cyanogen, but I'm not able to at the current time. What is your best idea of what I should do?

Then reread the OP and make sure you do exactly what it states.
Take your time and just make sure to follow each step.
MF3 can be rooted and de bloated but has no real custom recovery.
Safe strap only allows one on 4.3 to flash 4.2 2 roms.

I'm on 4.2.2 and I followed all the instructions very carefully, but whenever I try to load my slot with the Google edition ROM (4.2.2) the phone goes into a continuous boot loop. I have no idea what is wrong and I can't find a solution anywhere.

About to buy (another) S4 tonight, please help!

Hey guys, well I'm back in action! After dumping my S4 a few months ago, I am getting another one tonight. Ever since I saw the 4.3 update on my gf's S4, I saw that things have smoothed out and things are the way they should be!
Long story short, I want to see if the one I'm getting can be rooted. It is on 4.2.2 and the baseband is I3373CUFCMF3. Am I good to root it? I've been out of the S4 game for a while, so I don't know. If I can root it, can I run 4.3?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I'd try to get a MDL one so you could just flash a 4.3 custom ron
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Most, if not all current S4's will have MF3 firmware preinstalled. I doubt any store would have MDL firmware. Those devices would have had to be sitting there since early summer.

Yes, with MF3 you can root. You can then install safestrap and do some roms.
However if you take the 4.3 update you lose the ability to safestrap and use some roms, but you should still be able to root. I am not 100% as I just kept mf3 and put a 4.2.2 rom on it.
Ok, thanks for the responses. Can I flash any ROM with Safestrap or just some? Can I flash a custom 4.3 ROM for example?
Thanks!
You cannot install anything that's not touchwiz and anything above 4.2.2

Your very limited with roms using safestrap. Even then, the ones that work, might not work all the way. If you had MDL, you could use any rom if you flash loki-doki.
Just ask if they have one with MDL firmware. Doesn't hurt to ask, right?
Thanks for the responses guys! I will see if I can get a hold of a MDL phone.

Get a device that isn't as locked down as the s4 or note 3. Maybe nexus 5? Unless you can live with safestrap or just root. Which I can. If your a ROM flashaholic than stay away.

Which roms did you try to flash exactly? You said you flashed through TWRP, you mean safestap? TWRP outside of Safestrap will not work. You need to provide more details if you really want people to be able to help you. Our S4 is not like the phones we had before with unlocked boot loaders. This thing is a pain in the ass, but thanks the great knowledge & efforts of the developers here, we have so many options to flash custom roms
Yes this is much different than my other phones. I tried deadly venom 139, vision x, and hyperdrive. Yes I rebooted to recovery through safestrap

Well I suggest the following. Start over. Use a different computer, use a different usb cable, & then download fresh drivers, Safestrap, rom. & mk2 modules. Who knows, but maybe the downloads you got are bad. Stick with the At&t versions as they tend to go easier. Also don't let experience guide you. Instead, follow the developers instructions. I've lost count how many times I've flashed my Skyrocket but I know how many times I've flashed my S4 cause damn boot loader has me on pins & needles every time. Well not so much since we have the mk2 tar files. Good luck & please post your results.
OK thanks ill give this a go. Might take me some time to get to a different computer and post results.
