I'm trying to get a list of all the Roms for the mf3 update. Or the best ones??

MF3 roms can be located in the android development section.
if you're looking for an official stock image from samsung, we dont have one yet.
Try MDOB over in the Android Dev section. You can also find others there.
EDIT: Didn't see Mr. Beer's post (using a phone)
OK I found the graviton ROM. But what does it mean to check md5?. I downloaded it, but I did not find it in safe strap when trying to install it.

Download MD5 Checker. Place the file in the program. Make sure the MD5 that the program says is exactly what the developer says it should be.

Can someone with a stock NS4G use root explorer to zip '/system' and post it here, (you don't have to be rooted to do this).
To do that open root explorer, long press system and select zip this folder, the finished zip file will be system.zip in /sdcatd/speedsoftware/zip.
I can mirror after that so you don't have to host the file.
That would help us see the differences from the GSM nexus. I will also use it to make a zip for people who want to go back to stock after messing up or something, and make a deodexed version so people can theme there NS4G.

both of those things have already been posted in the dev section.
*will post system in a sec

I haven't seen a stock flashable rom, just one that uses Odin to do that, and all the deodexd versions there are modified with custom kernels and apps.
Can you point me to a totally stock rom

I just rooted yesterday and I'm trying to get TWRP so I can flash the auto Loki CWM. Every time I go to "OpenRecovery Script" it closes after 5 minutes and says No recoveries found for your device. Any way to do it manually?

this is more than likely due to goo.im being down. best way to check is try opening goo.im in your browser, if it doesnt open wait a while and i am sure itll be back up, then use the goo manager app to download once you know the website is back up

For future reference, GooManager pulls from your build.prop, if you molded it, it will give errors like that.

I have the att s4 with the mf3 build which I received via an ota update. I recently did the root for this build which worked perfectly, afterwards I read through 47 pages of forums and was trying to do the work around djrbliss put out, around page 40 someone says if your phone is rooted just download goomanager and installscriptrecovery. then reboot recovery. I downloaded goomanager then installed script, after this I hit the reboot recovery and the phone went into download mode. and it will stay there. If i restart it returns to download mode. Any Ideas?
You can NOT put a custom recovery on MF3. Your phone should now be a brick since there is no odin flashable mf3. There is another thread around here about best buy fixing this. Search for it

Got an update notification from the Play Store on rom manager app and then the newest update it says supports Loki. When you open rom manager and go to set up recovery it actually has the AT&T galaxy s4 in there. I was wondering if anybody use it or it safe to use?

Ram manager has always caused for issues then it has been worth. I would stick to doing things manually. This way if something goes wrong you know it was something you did.

If you don't want to use rom manager do it manually. It looks like standard and touch are both available.

The download files are Zip's. You'll need to flash them in a custom recovery, ie twrp or cwm. Do some more research before you flash anything. This thread isn't very good for someone not familiar with flashing.

Read up first. Odin is for installing stock firmware. There are no short cuts. Plenty of threads on this.

The img files are used in goo. I'd download the zip file, recoveries on the download page and flash that in my recovery. That assumes you have a custom recovery and you want to update it.

Now as far as any OTA updates i want/need, what is the protocol in getting them?
You can't get them on a custom rom
I forget what I read on a custom recovery and rooted--getting older--
I think you need to go back to stock--someone can confirm
I haven't Googled that yet either
There were some rootkeeper apps that were used on my other phones, don't know what works here
I never took OTA's after rooted and flashing my other phones as dev's seemed to have updates faster than my carrier

Generally, the newer firmware versions that get pushed out as OTA updates will be incorporated into custom Touchwiz roms, such as ShoStock and Mint Jelly. However, if you flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based rom such as SlimBean or AOKP, OTA updates will be completely meaningless. It's a different world altogether.
Either way, my advice is the same: Don't mess with OTA's. At best, they could give you the same features as a custom rom. At worst, they could kill the Loki exploit and lock your bootloader for good.
So, I just bought this phone and the version is 4.3. But it has some weird icons, like, they doesn't belong to this version. What is wrong with this phone? Can I change it back to normal?
The icons that "aren't supposed to be like that" are the phone and messaging ones.
P.S. I just realized that I posted this in the wrong section.

I will assume you have bought a used set. Possibly the previous owner has flashed a custom rom on it.
Maybe you can try download the official rom for your region and flash it with Odin and see if everything goes back to normal.
If you are not sure how to do the flashing, just Google for the instructions.
I also thought it might be a custom rom. And yes, it's an used set, kind of, but the person said it was never used.

You just have MCIC icon visible as previous user set it up for you, using the Jedi powers (because you have to trust him that he did not used the phone at all)
Knox is not installed if that's what you mean.
I think you can say if this phone has a custom rom in the "about device" section, right?

But one question... I don't really know what have they done to this device, is it really safe to do the flash? I remember that I bought a couple of years ago an used phone that I don't remember the model name, and they told me that the phone was rooted, I checked the phone and it didn't have any visible sign of being rooted and I also downloaded an app and indeed the phone wasn't rooted, so I proceed to update the phone, and bam! Motherboard died.
I want to be sure that is really safe so I can proceed to flash it.
