Is there any way to gain root for most recent att s4 update? Build number is KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
I've been asking the same question every since the update as well. I was hoping to install a Custom ROM on my phone, but I am playing it safe until it's been confirmed workable with the latest update. As a back up, I've seen people mention it's possible to rollback this update to NB1. I've had no luck so far pulling up a thread about rolling back updates, though...

Are you able to access your external SD? I too have the same Build and have lost access to my SD, can't root, or unlock, even using the Network Unlock code from AT&T. I've lost apps, it has slowed waaaaaaaaaaaay down, and the battery is not lasting, even with Powersave. I just got this phone and the guy I bought it from factory reset it. There was an update that accepted, but it stopped and said I had to restart the update for some reason. I did, but it is still 4.4.2, but now has a different Security Software Version, MDF v1.0 Release 2. It won't accept USSD codes and gives me a 'connection error invalid mmi code' message.
Are you having the same issues? I sure wish I could find something on this. Every time I try to search, it changes the I337UCUFBNCI to "Did you mean: i337ucufnb1?" I can't find anything totally, just bits and pieces. UGHHHHHH
Success, I couldn't find a step by step tutorial to fix my issue but thanks to a full nb1 .tar and a couple other files all given by contributors I was able to odin download to reset the custom icon to official then I had to odin download the full nb1 .tar. after doing this I did the ota att nc1 update and my phone is good as factory. Until I decide to root again that is.
If you would like some help let me know

I would like some help! How were you able to root fnc1? ! And is safe strap the only custom recovery that will work I'm guessing?
thanks in advance.

I did not root nc1, but it is possible thanks to some very smart contributors. I was previously rooted and wanted to unroot to factory. I became unrooted but my system was still unofficial and custom which I was having a problem getting rid of so I can trade in my phone in the future for credit. Just search nc1 root on xda and you should find the info. Its a bit of a process but you should be able to figure it out. You need to odin download back to nb1 first and go from there. If you would like some additional help I can try to give some advise but I'm no expert or developer just an enthusiast

Rooting I337UCUFNC1
Hi. I have followed the threads for a while on rooting my I337. I purchased it used a month ago and really want to root it and install a custom rom. But by reading all the threads I am confused and somewhat worried I will brick it!
Can someone explain to me real clearly what software and files I should use to obtain root on AT&T I337UCUFNC1 and install a custom rom? I am ok with downgrading.
Thanks much.

I rooted my galaxy s4 sgh-i337 runing android 4.4.2 today using towel root. It is an apk you install and will root any phone with 4.4.2 or lower. Well I tried flashing clockworkmod but when it restarts a message from at&t comes up saying that unauthorize software is trying to install on phone. So I think that means the bootloader is locked.

You CANNOT install CWM or TWRP. You will need to use SafeStrap recovery. Read up about it, as I have the older Loki bypass and don't need/use towelroot or safestrap.
With safestrap you are limited to flashing Touchwiz based roms. You can flash modems. You CANNOT flash kernels.

All the post below are correct except being able to go back to firmware with an unlocked boot loader.. Install safestrap 3.72 and install recovery. You will get a Twrp recovery .. dont try flashing custom kernels ..It might flash but none of the setting such as overclock etc. will work .nor will you be on that kernel version afterwrds .. I guess the simple answer is no for cwm and aosp roms .. You will be only able too flash custom stock roms
Wifi issues with towelrooted gs4
First off this may not be the right place for this (first time poster), and if so, either please help me in finding the right forum or forgive my ignorance.
I rooted my galaxy s4 today, and I have found that when I am trying to use wifi I am unable to connect to some pages. Using chrome I am unable to load google.com, or google anything directly from the search bar. And the app imgur also doesn't load whilst on wifi, but if I switch to my cell network they load just fine. If I had unlimited data of course this would not be an issue, but that is not the case and therefore I come to this forum and hope that someone can help me out!
My s4 is an at&t i337. I would amazingly, greatly appreciate any help!
Much thanks in advance!
lost recovery with unlocked bootloader
Hello,
longtime flasher here, not as familiar with gs4.
My girl has a sgh-i337 that has been bootloader unlocked since day one. Been on TWRP and slim rom the whole time too.
I was wiping Cache, Dalvik Cache, and System prior to doing a rom update and TWRP glitched out while updating partition after the final wipe operation. Screen went black. Boots to download mode only.Will not boot rom (as system was wiped) but shows the samsung custom unlocked logo. When in download (odin) mode, I see product name: sgh-1337, Current Binary: Samsung Official, System Status: Custom CSB_OEM_LSB: 0x30 Write Protection: enable
universal android toolkit will not show device connected so Installation of custom recovery through toolkit fails. ADB will not show device connected. ODIN will show device connected, though.
To recover with odin, can I flash the I337UCUAMDL from sammobile and retain unlocked bootloader?
Thanks for any and all help.
What is the bootloader version you need to unlock? I have 4.2.2 Red ATT S4, Baseband Version : I337UCUAMF3 / BUILD: JDQ39 , if i was able to unlock how would i go about doing so? I was hoping i could do something with Loki if not? How does Loki work exactly as well?
Congrats, you just voided your warranty. It will be 0x1 instead of 0x0.

Followed everything on that post and it worked! I'm rooted!
Though I'm not sure if you know about custom recoveries. I'm having issues with installing any of them and having it work. I am currently trying Safestrap and for some reason it won't install the recovery. It'll go through the process, but the state of the recovery won't change or anything.
I ultimately want to install CM11, but I'm really struggling to find a way that works!

I still can't figure how to install the .apk file from kingroot..? How do you install the file to root it..?
Note: Relevant device info will be provided below.
Dear techwizards,
I've been trying to root my phone for a while, I've done it before: both my S II and S III were international variants, and rooting those devices was very simple. But after getting an S IV from America and consensually downloading a samsung issued update -- I had yet to read up on the disadvantages of knox -- my rooting and android experience took a turn for the worse.
Long story short -- I know developers are a proud bunch who value their time -- I tried rooting my phone yesterday after almost smashing my phone on a coffee table. They say it's a well known side effect of Touchwiz, but I'll leave that to you.
I used a towelroot.com root -- a wonderful tool, if I may say so. After that, I visited the CM website and picked out the compatible CM11. I never got to flashing it though, as my problems arose while installing a recovery.
I had downloaded an app, a something recovery or another. They had an option to flash recoveries on there--it would download your recovery for you and do all the work, which seemed plausible as most video tutorials demonstrated. To my astonishment, doing so bricked my phone.
I tracked back, looked for the samsung stock rom, downloaded all 2.2 gb's of it and flashed it. It worked. My phone was functional but I suspect something within it stinks. My device, apparently for security reasons, wont let my wifi or 4g to establish a connection. It's making it impossible for me to fix this problem as I can't root my device or flash a custom rom.
About Device:
Pre problem I was running a:
SGH-I337UCUFNC1 baseband. Build Number ending with: NC1.
Android version: 4.2.2
Post problem:
Baseband: I337UCUFNC1
Build Number: JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
Android version 4.3.
If I could find my original stock 4.2.2 NC1 version and get simple instructions on how to re-install it back to stock version, I'd be very grateful.
If you know how I could fix the internet issue on the MK2 one, and provide some simple instructions of how to root it, I'd be grateful too.
If you think neither would work, and have something else in mind, Im open to your suggestions.
Much Regards,
Y

Since your bootloader is already locked, you might as well Odin to stock. Odin to NB1 then use stock recovery to flash the NC1 update from a zip file on a microSD.
Part of the problem is that the NC1 is not 4.2.2 like you listed, but 4.4.2. That's the update you applied that started the sordid tale. When you were on 4.2.2, with bootloader MD<something>, you could have flashed CM or whatever, because you would be able to have TWRP or CWM recovery. When Samsung pushed out a 4.3 update (MK2 I believe) all the unlocked bootloader fun was over, probably permanently for this phone.
When you flashed MK2 firmware (4.3) onto the phone, parts of it don't work with the NC1 baseband, causing the problems you've seen. If you Odin NB1, then do the quick zip update from stock recovery to get all the way to NC1, you'll be back to stock and everything should work.
Once that's done, you can go through this process:
1. Root with Towelroot.
2. Install SuperSU to manage root access. (You might have to reboot, it's a 50%/50% shot... sometimes it hangs trying to disable Knox... no worries just reboot)
3. Install SafeStrap... it will create the safestrap recovery. You might need to install SELinux Mode Changer app (from play store) and set to permissive, to get Safestrap installed.
4. Boot to the SafeStrap recovery. Install any touchwiz rom. Only touchwiz compatible roms will work. I liked GoldenEye.
When installing touchwiz ROMs, typically one flashes the ROM, then SuperSU, then the NC1 modules, then the ATT BuildProp/APN file. Sounds complex but goes quickly. Some roms have some of these things built in.
Good luck! I eventually decided I didn't like the ATT Samsung restrictions of the locked boot loader, and bought a T-Mobile M919 variant of the S4. Unlocked boot loader. Woo hoo. And works fine on ATT.

there are so many variants of Galaxy S4 and I have no clue which ROM is suitable for my Model.
There are few Questions which for which I need the answers if you guys could Help:
How can I get back to the Stock version I mean which Package to flash through Odin? any links?

Well this looks confusing. Looks to me like either you actually have a
I337 ATT branded phone due to the bootloader and someone flashed a i9505 ROM and modem. The weird part is the modem (baseband) as it states it is from a i9505.
Or you have a i9505 that someone SOMEHOW flashed the i337 bootloader.
My best guess is that you have a i337 and it is actually running the i337 nb1 firmware. And someone mistakenly flashed a i9505 modem (which may actually flash, but data or wifi probably wouldn't work). I would suggest checking out which Roms you can flash with safestrap recovery then also flash one of the ATT I337 modems in my thread via safestrap recovery.
If above works for you I would then suggest looking for the NB1 or NC1 unbrick method and flash with Odin. You might as well update the bootloader to NC1 then flash safestrap if you want to flash custom Roms. Check out the safestrap threads and info of Roms in their OP for more details on how to flash. I do not use safestrap recovery, so find info from others that do.
Here is a NB1 thread to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223
I really appreciate your response. I will try few Roms as I get time and files downloaded. I am from Pakistan and at&t doesn't work here. My phone's Wi-Fi is all okay. However I can't use wifi tethering. And just as you said, I don't wanna use this safestrap recovery also. I really want that cwm recovery as it's less hectic. And just in case if my model is actually i337 so any NB1 firmware will work on it? I have lots of confusion because I am not sure what will happen if I flash a particular Rom. Whenever I try to get into recovery using Volume up+home+power key. Odin mode turn on and then I have to flash i337 .tar file to get it on. Safestrap has given me some support as I can make a backup at least. But still lot's of confusions. Can anyone give me more suggestions or safe mathods to apply?
you can't use clockwork recovery on your build and no aosp roms--sorry
Okay. Can I flash stock Roms using Odin? And which one please let me know?
You can't flash roms with Odin. Read up in General in All Things MK2 and ATT thread and Hashcodes SafeStrap thread in Development.
Thank you, let me read that thead. But how can I un-root my device and get back to stock ? Now I am nervous

The link you posted and asked if you could use-----look at its date--early/mid 2013. Your build is way past that. I know it is a lot of research. But, only way to keep your phone usable. I don't even need SafeStrap, but have read enough about it to be fairly comfortable. Did it to try and help folks.
A quick FYI. You need SafeStrap because any build post MDL has no way of bypassing Sammy's security check of kernel during reboot. MDL and below can use Loki-Doki an exploit that bypasses the check. So you can't flash aosp and custom kernels/recoveries. There are a couple exceptions on aosp. But, nothing to get into until you get more experience.
It just takes some time, especially with SafeStrap. You need correct version and know where to flash roms to. The ATT/MK2 thread has a lot of info on how to root and get SafeStrap on your phone. Esp post 5.
But, you can get back to stock NB1 from Rock's link and the tar posted there.

There is no bootloader unlock and I seriously doubt there ever will be. Safestrap is the recovery you can use.

I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900V Version 5.0 I am wondering if it is possible to root it any help would be greatly appreciated
If you read the post above yours, or any of the posts in this forum, you will probably figure out how to root your device. Pro tip!
I have read them and have tried several different ways but I must be missing something because when I flash my device it keeps going into boot recovery and I cant get it to go any further

You soft bricked it. I recommend using Kies 3 to repair and initialize the phone again to stock, unless you made a nandroid backup. Then, you'll have to flash a NK2 retail stock, since no one has been able to find a method to root AO8 Lollipop 5.0 without tripping knox. If you don't mind tripping knox, which voids your warranty.

you are wrong lmao.. we have root for the g900v (he must be having user errors if he cant get it to work) but there is NO process for the g900v that will trip Knox at all because we cant touch the BL due to it being locked.. Knox has nothing to do with anything at this point. His warranty is still good but yes, his phone is soft bricked if he cant boot up

Have you tried finding a full ncg tar file (full meaning it includes the kernel), Odin that to put you on ncg. Download towelroot and install it. Run towelroot and that should root you. Download latest safestrap and install it. Then download any other the rooted lollipop roms and the lollipop kernel(kernel will be downloaded on computer) . Install it via safestrap, boot directly into download mode and Odin the lollipop kernel. Reboot. Should be rooted lollipop and good to.
New too rooting
ok I managed to figure this all out i think I got it to restore back to 5.0 using odin by flashing the stock files I found on the forums then I found another tutorial on rooting and followed it and managed to figure it out so now I am running

I don't know if that means any thing to you guys but my next task is to find a rom that ultimately will get rid of allot of the boat from verizon and ideally I would like to have the multi user feature but I am not sure that is availible for android 4.4.4

I'm new to the locked bootloader, so I stand corrected on that point. You taught me something, and I got a laugh out of you.
