Okay so I'm currently rooted on stock rom. I just want to know if there's any way that I can start flashing ROMs by using any recovery. At the moment I just keep seeing there's no recovery available for mf3 baseband.. I really want to take advantage of this phone with mods.. Please help

I have an AT&T i337 S4 running Android 4.3 MK2.
I was stupid and tried to flash a recovery that wasn't compatible, now my phone only boots into ODIN mode.
I've been looking for the MD5 files for 4.3 MK2 with no success.
Does any know what I need to do to fix my phone?
Go to best buy and have them reflash the firmware. If not there's a guide in the mj6-mj9 just search and read the forums.

I am curious too!
If I root it and use chainfires cf auto root or w.e thru Odin to install a recovery will he be good to go...will it unlock the bootloader or will I send it into a security error by flashing clockwork

You will most likely brick it. Use Hash code's safestrap in development section
With safestrap tho can't you only flash stock ROMs?

Correct, our VZW specific Note 3 has a locked bootloader so we can't modify it aside from the stock .tar file via Odin
You want to use this method to apply the MJE update before doing anything else
Then root via Kingo, have to google it
Then install Safestrap, open it, select install recovery
Profit
Lol good luck let us know if you run into issues it's not too rough
OK thanks..man that sucks that the boot loader hasn't been unlocked yet

If he wants the full root experience, at this time his best option might be to return the phone for something else if he is within his 14-day period.
I'm not sure what else though ... The N3 is a great device. My understanding is that the camera on the HTC One isn't great, and I'm not sure what the root situation on the LG device is, nor how much developer love it will get over time.
Maybe he should leave Big Red for a different carrier... making sure they know exactly why on the way out the door.
Haha yeah thats what i said I have T-Mobile s4 and had mine hacked in 5 mins with a custom ROM on it

Hello I did a search and can't get a straight answer. I have the att gs4 4.2.2 rooted and I'm wondering what version of safestrap I need. I see mixed answers like 3.65, 3.71, 3.72 and I'm not quite sure which is it. Help will be much appreciated!

You need to search and read. It depends which version of 4.4.2 you're on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49562527

Check in settings/ more/ about device towards the end what build you have. If you are on 4.2.2 you dont need safestrap any recovery can do. If you are on 4.4.2 its a different story you have a whole different process before you get safestrap. Safestrap use is for locked bootloaders that came after builds NB1 and NC1.
Since you are already rooted there is no use for safestrap. If you are looking to flash custom roms check the ones are compatible with your present build.

If you're on mdb/mdl firmware all you need to do is put on a custom recovery to flash roms. This should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42320391

See the second post in the link. You will need safestrap if you're on mf3. But you might want to consider updating your firmware to mk2 then see the first link I gave you. That way you'll be able to flash 4.4.2 roms

Using I337 S4 rooted unable to install safestrap unable to parse issues. Any help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok everything worked good untill the custom rom flash.. It wouldn't leave the galaxy s4 screen.. So I had to re Odin the Damn thing because it didn't load safestrap anymore.. We'll. Odin failed for 2 Damn hours but after many failed attempts it finally got me back to NB1.. Then I refreshed NC1, installed towelroot and superuser and safestrap and changed to permissive.. Tried flashing a different rom (deadly venom) and every time I try to load it it just loads the normal firmware but on the custom slot.. So I'm not sure if I did anything wrong or if I should try a 3rd rom

I got golden eye to work on the main slot I think.. It's says that it's the build but it looks stock
Edit: after reviewing the goldeneye page.. It says stock look and feel so I'm assuming it's working..

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.
