I have noticed there is a bunch of loki methods floating around, and I for one would like some confusion cleared... which loki method should i use? or what do they depend on? and does it matter which rom i am flashing? Or do they all work?
FYI I am on a Bell I337M Version
1. ShappyPengiuns [RECOVERY] SGH-I337 OUDHS Recovery 1.0.3.4 - now with auto-loki
2. KToonsez [KERNEL] KT-SGS4-TW-JB
3. Loki-Doki [FLASHABLE FIX]
A simple search would answer these questions. You are not AT&T and you are not Verizon...are you sure you even need Loki?
Read...Read...Read.
It's not that hard.

They are correct READ, they all work, just find the one that works for you. It is not hard. agreed!
If you have root then just go to Play and install GooManager and let it install TWRP recovery which has Loki built in now.
My understanding is if you need it its there and if you don't it wont matter.
Edit: My understanding was wrong! I think its the other recovery that will, but dont count on it until you verify yourself.

To reiterate what Scott already pointed out, the OP is on Bell. Loki doesn't even apply to him.

Twrp does not have auto loki. You still have to flash a kernel or loki doki.
Tough Crowd OP
But, they are right and looking out for you.
Need to read more than the OP pages on this, if you haven't.
Most of the threads are short enough still to scan whole thread.
At least read first/last 20 pages, don't want to lose a great phone
Also, if you don't normally do it--back up phone an sdcard regular--put copies on PC.

Right you are sir. Damn good thing I cant get anything to download right now anyway. I think to much reading has made all the threads run together in my head. I will edit that earlier reply to avoid the continuing confusion.

Say what? here is hint for searching, type in the exact phrase (words) to search for, it works. searching this "shet. 7ulu 3an ayre" will yield you no results.
No the problem is, it is easier to get on a post a please help walk me thru it.
Un-locked bootloader means no loki for you!

So LokiDoki does waht after you flash a ROM? Is it the ROM that gets Loki'd or it seeks out the actual Kernel thats installed by the ROM?
Thanks for your insight?
I ask because some say if you have a loki'd kernal the ROM doesnt matter.
There is a loki thread in original development that finally helped an old fart like me understand--
good info

If you use a loki kernel everytime you flash a rom, it will work.

So I just got a s4. Switched over from iPhone 5. I blindedly updated to the MF3 firmware. Ive read the sticky threads and managed to root my phone.
But now I'm completely clueless on what I can do. I'm basically in to android for theming but I'm guessing I need a custom Rom.
I also want to get rid of the AT&T bloat ware. How do I do that?
Thanks guys.
Sorry if it's sounds so dumb but this is my first time using android.

Read the "software update" thread. The "sticky" threads you read also have information or lead to information that can help you. Doing a search of the sub forums should get you a lot of results as well. All of the answers you asked are in those threads.
And yes, this should be in the Q & A section, however, for future reference, please use the search function or look at the related topics that appear while posting to find answers before posting in any section. Good luck.

Hey guys....
So I had a bunch of trouble rooting my phone, finally got it done.
But now.. I have come to realize that I installed a ROM for a different phone..
I have a SGH-I337M and my phone now says under model number GT-I19505G..
Everything seems to be working fine right now.. question is. Is this a problem? Did I screw up? Did I get lucky in not bricking my phone and should be more careful next time?
Thanks in advance..

Instead of asking a bunch of questions (in the wrong forum) you need to read and learn about things before you do them. You can start by reading the "pinned" threads in the general and q & a sections. Good luck.
Yes you're being very lucky for not screwing your phone. From now on make sure that you flash the right room for your phone. Read the forum us much as you can

Lol your on point right there with all of those questions. Well he might have flashed a correct working ROM just doesn't know it because it says something else than what he's use to.

Looks like you flashed an international rom. You might want to look into the galaxy s4 forums (not the att or canadian s4 forums) for more info on that rom and whether or not your gonna have issues
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
It's my perception that he has a rogers Canadian phone which is our forum. If I remember correctly, the 1337m can be flashed with some international roms and still be fine. I don't think he has the google s4. So OP I'd advise you to check out the development threads regarding the Canadian s4, but I think you're fine because the unlocked Canadian phone can be flashed with some international roms.

I just don't understand how so many ppl flash wrong Roms. This might sound harsh but if your flashing a wrong ROM then maybe this isn't for you or at least "read up". This is the reason I'm yet to flash a ROM on my gs4. I'm on MF3, I havent read up enough on using SS and the particular Roms my phone can use.

Hi, I just got an AT&T S4.
It's currently on Android version 4.3
Can I use this tool to root/unlock it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
My baseband version is I337UCUEMK2
Once I unlock/root it, can I flash any ROM in this forum?
Thanks

You need to read the threads that are in the General and q & a sections. Start with the pinned threads. The questions you asked show that you have not done any reading and all members are expected to search and read. You will be glad if you do, because if you don't you will more than likely end up with a brick. There are several threads that already have the answers you asked. Good luck.
I read the stickied Q&A, which linked to the thread I posted above. It seems that the tool should be able to root and unlock my MK2 phone. I just wanted to confirm to double check.

It doesn't. Read all section stickies, there is a big guide in the general section telling you what works.

Hint--SafeStrap
You are going to have limitations on that build bc of the locked down bootloader by Samsung
so im not sure if people will tolerate this thread, if its against the rules feel free to report it/ban me /whatever.
i basically have a galaxy s4, sgh-i337, it has safestrap installed and im looking to install a custom rom.
anyway before i go through with it i have a few questions, i read a lot of the safestrap thread, and the mf3 threads, its just overwhelming, a lot of info in that thread and its very unclear/hard to locate anything im actually looking for, im hoping i can get a kind person thats willing to take 10 minutes of their time to answer a few question.
if you're gonna post to link me to a Q&A on safestrap and stuff like that please dont. ive read it. anyway, if you can/want to help just send me a pm on the board here. i could use a bit of advice.
if the thread isnt allowed feel free to ban me or whatever i guess.
1) Questions should be in the Q/A section.
2) I'd help but there's no questions in your post. You can PM or ask here.
