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.

Hi everybody!
I think I soft bricked my Galaxy S4. I had MF3 firmware, flashed Safestrap and Installed custom ROM. Everything was Okay before I decided to flash another one. I flashed Alpha v10 ROM and it didn't boot.
Right now I'm stuck with Galaxy s4 writing and accessible Download Mode and stock recovery mode.
What should I do now? I know that we don't have MF3 firmware available but is there any possibility to boot this phone?
Thanks in advance
There is a script on here that you can flash with odin to make your phone boot normally its in the android development section for our phone. Try looking for it there. Good luck.

hey guys... im on 4.3 MK2 rooted, can i install a 4.2.2 rom stock or custom ?? with 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
thanks.
If you updated by keeping the MF9 bootloader you can go back to stock. If you took the OTA however, you can only downgrade to 4.2 with a custom ROM.

but i can downgrade to 4.2 (100% 4.2) using a custom rom?? or i will be on 4.2 but with the same new bootloader?
what custom rom would work in my case? if you can give me a link to one.. there are so many here.
If you're on the MJA or MK2 bootloader, you're stuck with it.
And why would you want to go back to 4.2? Any ROM would work, but seems kind of pointless.

i downgraded the modem to mdc and did the unlock process. it worked, i can make and receive calls but when the phone is going to 3g i get a error message "LTE esm 29 emm-x cannot establish wireless data connection" nobody else had that issue.. i dont know if hte fact that my phone is not activated on spring is relevant.. it shouldn't be, because im using the phone outside the US.
i dont know what to do to make this thing work.. i have flashed from mdc to mk2 or mja like 5 times and i always get the same message.
Can someone please point me to the right link. Installed safe strap on my att s4 and is stuck on the Samsung with the padlock unlocked screen. Was trying to install custom Rom. Running mj9. Thanks

I did the same thing, no recovery whatsoever. Looks like there's no other choice but to reflash the stock firmware again and start all over again. Hopefully get back stock recovery, Cfroot, Philz this time.
I'll report my results.
Like whenever you turn it on it goes straight to Odin mode?

Can you direct me to a good guide on rooting so i do not run into these issues again?
What is the baseband version and your boot loader is locked, correct?

What you have experienced is due to the restrictions put by the locked bootloader. If you check the baseband version in settings->about phone, it would end with MF3 or MK2 or NB1.
The firmware with these version have locked bootloader which prevents us from flashing any custom kernel or recovery.
The way to flash custom roms is using a different kind of recovery called Safestrap
There are some restrictions with Safestrap though. With MF3, you have to use safestrap v3.65 and you can only flash 4.2.2 based roms. You can also flash Goople play edition 4.2.2 roms. With google play edition, your PC will not recognize the phone though.
With MK2, you have to use safestrap v3.71 and you can flash 4.3 based Roms. You cannot flash google play edition 4.3 based roms though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 has lot of useful information for you.
If you are on NB1, you have to follow Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool to downgrade to MK2 first and then install 4.4.2 based Roms.
If you are on MK2, Deadly Venom Kitkat magic tool has a way to install 4.4.2 (Kitkat) roms.
The question is will my device work with the jflteusc version of the CyanogenMod Installer? I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337. I heard of the new CyanogenMod installer and looked at the supported devices. I saw a jflteusc (US Cellular). I don't knoiw if it will work with my AT&T S4. I don't want to **** up my phone. I'm currently on 4.4.2 NB1 stock rooted. The website I am referencing is http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/CyanogenMod_Installer Any help would be great!

Did you use safestrap and deadly venom kitmat magic tool in install 4.4.2 stock rooted? If so, you cannot get CM to work.
Yes I did. If I upgrade to NC1 stock unrooted, would that work?

You have a locked boot loader that prevents from changing the kernel. So, no.

There has to be a reason why only ATT S4 is missing from the list, right?
Yea I downloaded the app and it said device unsupported
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Has anyone ventured to trying the installer in the unsupported mode? Is there a reasoning behind this and safe to try if I'm already rooted and TWRP? I thought there already was an ATT compatible build.

If your bootloader/firmware were MDB or MDL you could try it. Above that there is no exploit for the bootloader out yet so you can not install the CM.
Yes I'm on the same adventure with my sgh-i337. I'm going back and forth between MK2 and NB1 ROMs but cannot get MDL or MDB flashed at all. I got them from samfirmware and Odin fails. I tried kies and it says firmware available is MDL ... Well great, but then it says device not recognized!
I'm really torn between why is it we can get to MDL to flash CM?
Instructions:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jflteatt
Edit: once updated to MK2 there is no going back. Bootloders are locked and that is the end of the story. No more CM or CWM recovery or Loki ... Just safestrap and custom ROMs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Just as a final reference for all: CM installer is not for the I337.
On MF3 and above, we have no exploit for ROMs and Cyanogenmod is not compatible with our stock kernel.
Even on MDB/MDL it won't work because you need Loki which the installer doesn't take care of AFAIK (if it were to even let you open it).
