I just upgraded my phone from the S2 running shoshock .
I want to put shoshock back on but as it looks it's not for model.
Is there a way I'm able to put shoshock v.2.0 or the other version on my phone?
If not, I do see a lot of roms but a lot of them seem to be for the MF3 build.
Can someone direct me to a good Rom and Kernal for the MDB build??
Thanks!!!

you will have to upgrade to stock mdl to take those roms
don't take the mf3 upgrade or you will be throttled on what you can run
Thank you!! I'm gonna try that!

I have done a lot of reading about a lot of roms here at xda... I've flashed several roms on my s4 so far in the few months ive owned it.
Currently running scroslers mf3 from 7/15, rooted, with ktoonsez kernel, mdl baseband.
Trying to be sure I dont brick my phone, cuz I like it.
If I want to flash one of the 4.3GE roms in this forum, do I need to flash back to mdl rom before flashing 4.3? For example, kangabean 4.3 rom says to flash from mdl rom with mdl baseband... if not mdl, odin back to mdl, then flash 4.3GE. But other 4.3 roms don't say this.... since I read and re read kangabean about 10 times, im wondering why they say to start from mdl and other roms dont seem to say that?
Any wisdom you have on this would be appreciated...
For the record, running twrp 2.6 and I have loki-doki available and ready to flash as needed.
Thanks for your help.

Any ROM you want to flash should have full instructions on how to flash it on the OP. I'd it does not, message the OP of the ROM to ask that they update their thread. Each ROM can and will have a different process.

Thanks for the reply... I have flashed lots of roms on various devices, but for some reason I thought I recently read something about bricking your device if you try and flash a rom after mf3.
I do appreciate your response and agree I will only flash a rom after clearly understanding each specific roms install instructions.

That is only with the official MF3 OTA update.

I suspected that might be the case, but thought I'd ask just to be sure. Rather not brick my phone, this thing is amazing.

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.
Im hoping Flight5 4.2.2 TW will work ill try it when I get home. It saying I can flash a LOKId version of KTs kernel I didnt think that was possible on MF3

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

He means a ROM he could flash without losing the exploit, not the actual update.
Just wait and one should be created like it was for MF3, otherwise you'll have to settle for any other 4.3 ROM. You could always check the international section for their stock 4.3 or something.
I hope someone will create one

In the mean time you could try this. It's based on mj9. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42294395
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.

I am looking for a custom KitKat rom 4.4.2. All the ones I'm finding will not flash successfully. The one I did find was messing up my phone modem (radio) and it was causing dropped calls and EDGE connection problems so I flashed it back to stock. I want a new custom rom without this issue that is rooted with Wifi/tethering.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 model with AT&T.
I appreciate any help it I can get with this!

If you take the time to read like most of us have. You will find out that you can't flash custom rooms if you are on kit kat until devs find exploit, which is going to be very hard.

From what he says you could tell he is either on mk2, nb1 or NC1 which the bootloader is lock down and as most of us know we can only flash Tw roms.
