I have a bell i337m galaxy s4. I installed a google edition rom. Now I need to sell my S4 so i need to go back to stock touchwiz. I can't find anything.I don't know what is wrong with my root either. Superuser is on here. When I go to an app that needs root. It says I'm not rooted. Then superuser pops up a notification saying i need to update binary. When I press install I get an error. I rooted like 7 times today. StilI i get the same error. Should I use i337m root or GT-I9505g toot. Before Google edition my model number was i337m now its GT-I9505G. I need the touchwiz rom. Please reply as soon as possible! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Please post all links. And it would be nice if you could tell me how to do stuff. I'm pretty dumb at technology (yet I try. then i screw up like this).

Hello all,
I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 that just updated to 4.3. Can someone direct me to how I can gain root access? Also, I am assuming that noone has published a way to crack the bootloader as of yet? Thanks in advance for any help concerning this.

There are several methods of rooting 4.3 but outside of that you will NOT be able to install any custom ROM's, recoveries,etc.
However, these methods are unsupported by XDA as the authors are in China and haven't released vital information on the ingenuity of their program (in terms of privacy and security). Thus I am unable to post it here, however... a simple Google search will yield the program if you are willing to take the risk of a random Chinese company having who knows what data from your device. The only way to have avoided using these programs would have been to put SuperSU into survival mode prior to upgrading to MK2 (4.3).

Root help
I was looking to root AT&T MK2 4.3 S4 for 2 reasons. 1. to be able to tether 2. to be able to record calls. I read other threads but found that after root, I need to install Wanam xposed framework, and reviews show that both hacks don't successfully work on MK2.
Saferoot is probably is best root method for MK2 AT&T but Safestrap recovery does not appear to be as good as TWRP or CWM as ROM Slots are required and memory will not be used to fullest.
Please help, anyone has success with any root method to accomplish 1. tether 2. call recording successfully on MK2?
or Successful recovery install (TWRP or CWM ) so the custom ROMS like hyperdrive can be installed.
Thanks all...
Safestrap help...
Hi all.. Please help me with another question... (AT&T MK2 4.3 S4)
First I would like to thank all developers for great great work here and all members for sharing their experiences and suggestions...
Do I have to create ROM slot in order to flash Hyperdrive ROM and keep stock ROM as it is
OR I can backup and wipe stock ROM and flash hyperdrive over it, and keeping one active ROM?
Only reason I dont want to create ROM slot is that then I will not be using the whole memory, I want to use all16GB..
Also I am getting a security policy update pop up on phone, should I install it before rooting or just ignore it?
Please advise,
call recording
guys anyone knows if call recording works on MK2 4.3. It does not work on stock ROM using Wanam. The phone freezes. Not sure if it will work with any other ROM.
Hello
i was trying to install a custom rom on my galaxy s4 but after going through some topics i m kind of unsure about it.
its an att phone
my model number says I337
and the baseband is MK2.
most of the roms i found say something about att i9...
with reading some topics i just have the feeling that the MK2 is "special" and i cant just use any rom.
can someone help me and let me know which roms will work (download link would be appreciated). i planned to go with either google edition 4.4 or cyanogen mod. (if there is anything better please let me know)
and if i need any other software (for backup etc).
i already rooted the phone with saferoot. i just dont know how to get a custom rom on there now.
thank you for your help it greatly appreciated.
As far as i know you can't run custom roms on the i33, AT&T has it so locked down it can't be done

This thread gives you everything you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
Okay starting off, I went straight to cyanogenmod's page but it specifically stated "you must be on build I545VRUAMDK"...
There lies the problem. My phone is build KOT49H.I545VRUFNC5.
I got it from Verizon like this, already updated.
It's running kitkat 4.4.2.
Now, the benefit is that I already have root, through Towelroot V3.
________________________________________________________________________________
I've searched on Google and still cannot find a direct answer.
So please can someone tell me where to go to figure this out? Or if you know how kindly tell me?
Thank you.
Okay update, I've installed Safestrap. But When I try to boot into recovery, it only flashes booting recovery then it just restarts into kitkat... Seriously need some help.
It's better to post it in the section for your device. The methods used are different from our s4.

First off, let me say that i love this rom and thank you very much. Now my issue, that i am having is with xposed and wanam after the new update.

Goldeneye rom for gti9500 - which Zip file?
Sorry to ask this, but when trying to flash the Goldeneye rom on my wife's S4 GT i9500 International, it seems the zip file is for the Gti9505 zip instead . if you select either link for gti9500 or gti9595 on the Goldeneye XDA thread, it takes you to the same file page with the rom zip for both phones. I have a gt i9500 and downloaded the GE-XXUGNK4-49.2.zip as I assumed it was an update from GE-XXUGNK4-49, but when I try to flash it on my GT i9500 it asks which variant to choose from with US/Canada carriers or the gt i9505. Am I correct in assuming I therefore need to download the GE-XXUGNK4-49 version, or is it the GE-XXUGNK4-48.zip that I need for the GT i9500?
Your help would be great.
New here, have lurked for ages before finally pulling the trigger and doing away with stock.
After an insane amount of confused reading, I somehow managed to root and get goldeneye on my canadian S4.
But it looks like I don't get 4g or LTE anymore. In reading and searching I see many references to a canadian LTE fix, (im on Fido) but I just can't find the dang link.
Can someone point me in the right direction ? Thanks

Hello there guyz,
thanks for taking the time to read and maybe respond to my questions. I just bought an unlocked S4 SGH i337 from ebay. While i was trying to manually upgrade it to newest firmware i realized that the firmware installed on it, was an 9500 variant!! I checked the device, it has sgh i337 written all over it, and i downloaded cpu-z and check that indeed, the hardware of the device is this of an sgh i337 but the software that is installed is from 9500. I dont know how and why did the seller do this, but i need your help on how to un-make this monstrosity. In the end i want to install lollipop on the device but i am not sure how should i proceed. My guess is to try to revert to stock, but i am afraid if i am gonna lose the "unlocking". Please leave your valuable inputs on the comments, while i will be searching over the internet and see if i can get a clue. Thank you.
Ok guyz, i sorted it out by my self. I took a leap of faith in logic and did the "practical" method. I figured that since this is basically an SGH i337 piece of hardware, i can treat it as a soft-bricked S4 and go for a full reset on stock software. I followed the common path, shut down the phone, download mode then Odin + stock firmware, and it worked like a charm. From there it was a piece of cake to follow the Forum's how-to-guides, and now i have a fully functional rooted SGH i337 with Lollipop 5.0.1 rooted software installed. So, to all of you out there who might encounter the same Zombie phone, treat your phone as its hardware model, install stock firmware and proceed normally from that point. if you need any further clarifications, contact me, but everything i used, it can be found on the XDA forums.
