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.
I am looking for a stock mj9 rom, I'm currently on mdl, and I will like to update but without losing my root

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
I have a question. If nb1 is unrootable now, how can a pre rooted nb1 rom exist? And also, if i use safestrap method, since safestrap installs the rom along the stock, wont the usable internal storage become smaller?

This thread has some info.
Also, you can replace stock rom itself through safestrap

See the above for how the stock rooted NB1 was made.

I337ATTFNB1 firmware? Is it worth switching from MLD to NB!?
Only issue is warranty. But, if you got MDL that may be mute. Otherwise, you can flash NB1 or even NC2 roms. I see no reason not too--:good:
Oops, misread--thought you meant the early MDL build. I don't remember MLD as I rooted back in April/May 2013. You have to find change logs. I still think newer is usually better though--

I experienced an issue with maps on the FMLD leak.
If you are currently on the FMLD 4.4 leak you can upgrade to NB1 or even the latest NC1 firmware while maintaining the option to Odin flash back to factory stock MK2. Just don't flash the NB1 or NC1 bootloaders. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692825

I have an att s4 on mk2(hyperdrive) and will upgrade soon to a nb1 based ROM. Can I flash anything that is 4.4.2 based like nc2?

That rom can be flashed with or without SafeStrap. So, if you are on the MDL bootloader you can flash whatever you want. If MF3 or higher there are restrictions to certain TW roms and no aosp/aokp roms.
If you are using SafeStrap, go to General and read up on your bootloader and what roms you can use. There are different SafeStrap versions too. I am not up on newer BL's and SafeStrap. Just the basics with it--:good:

OK, if that's your bootloaoader then you are using SafeStrap. So will need to check out the General threads on builds mk2 and higher.
Also, someone will probably give you exact info here that has that experience--
Sorry I can't offer more atm--
I am so confused by which firmware came when and what the issues are.. Is there any sort of timeline/index for this?
Mdb, mdl, mf3, mk2, nb1, nc1
Mdl/mdl. 4.2.2
Mf3. 4.3
Mk2,nb1, nc1. 4.4.2
Mdb/mdl had an exploit to get around the locked bootloader. All the others require safstrap to flash tw only roms
Edit, I think I'm wrong on the versions. I think mk2 was 4.3 and mf3 was a 4.2.2 variant

Yeah, mf3 is 4.2.2 and mk2 is 4.3. The easiest way is to remember that it goes alphabetically
