Thanks for the post - I do have a question, and I apologize if this has already been answered. I got my S4 before the MF3 update. I basically locked it down, and have a custom recovery and it's rooted but stuck in MDL. This means that I never had the OTA upgrade and it never blew that weird fuse. If I odin these tar images onto my phone in its current state, is that safe? I see that there are now processes I can use to re-root my phone and then safestrap into a custom recovery. But since I never had the official MF3 update which blows the fuse permanently, will this not work? Anyone know? Maybe I should just wait for 4.3? Any help or direction is appreciated.
THANKS!
--Q
No your fine where you are just don't do an ota update and safestrap is only meant for mf3 I think u said that you have cwm....that's great don't get ride of it once you get rid of cwm and root and do the ota update then you can use safestrap but u don't need this...you don't need anything on this thread

Hello all. Long time flashaholic with the sgs2 and sgs3. I counldnt help myself and bought the S4. Beautiful phone well made with really good battery life. The only problem is that god awful touchwiz ui! I have read and read about rooting this device but have just gotten more and more confused. Can anybody lead me to a site that will have some definitive information about rooting this phone. Knowing me I will be flashing every new rom that comes down the line so I want to get it right. By the way its a i9505 running XXUAMDE in New Zealand.
i9505 cf root
I also do not understand this comment regarding cf-root....
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Would this root method work for aosp roms or something like Paranoid Android?
I would do what I did two days ago.
Download Philz touch .tar for 9505.
Use Odin and flash recovery.
Reboot into recovery and when you reboot from recovery it will prompt you to install su binary.
Done!!

So I was wondering if I had to reflash back to stock or reflash the AMDL modem. If I wanted to Flash a rom that required my baseband and build to be on the UCUAMDL. I flashed the MF3 Modem (radio) and am running the newest Goldenrom. I have the S4 I3337 ATT version.
Since it appears that you're rooted and have a custom recovery, you do not have to flash back to mdl. You can just download a new rom and follow the ops directions.

I am rooted and use TWRP. So, even though the "about phone" says I am on a different baseband(MF3), it isn't? I just want to sure. Thanks.

You are on mf3 and will stay on that. But it should be compatible with the other roms. I think the reason they say to be on mdl is because mdb won't work. But mf3 is newer and you shouldn't have an issue
But check in the rom's forum to make sure and see if anyone else has flashed with mf3.
Ps, I see you can't post in that forum yet. Which rom are you thinking of using? I'll post the question for you. And, the mf3 rom you're currently using was obtained in the development forum? Do you remember which one?
I had a similar question to this as well... I'm running scoslers rooted mf3 rom. My baseband says mdl and my build says mf3...
Was thinking of flashing kangabean 4.3ge, but it says you must have mdl baseband and mdl build. Says to odin back to mdl before flashing it.
Any thoughts?

I was originally on Goldenrom and then I updated my modem. I had no issues except for one game which kept giving me problems. I was considering going to the MDOB or Kangabean versions to see if that would fix my issue.
Dandriod7, you should be ok, your baseband is mdl.
No1csme, your baseband is mf3 since you updated the modem. I'll post the question in the kangabean forum for you.

Thanks again. Appreciate it.
Just to add--I was on scrosler's mf3 rom with mdl radio (baseband). I then flashed the mf3 radio. Since then I have flashed Omega and Wicked while still on the mf3 radio. Generally the radio won't impact flashing different roms. But, as noted, always read OP--
so i just had to odin to factory stock because i was in the boot loop into download. but i stupidly updated the software thinking it would update me to something other than mf3....that was not the case. it put me right into mf3. should i odin back to stock and just root and recov from there? or can i just root to customize. i have no problem starting from scratch but some advise would be great!!! please and thanks!!
If it updated you to MF3 you at this time can not Odin back to stock out of the box.root is possible but no recovery or Roms so please don't be a static of the "I bricked my phone"section. Read/research till your eyes dry up and burn

is there a way to debloat the stock rom? also is the root process the same??
To b honest I haven't checked out how to root MF3 cause I've managed to stay away from the OTA update,I m still MDL base. As far as debloating without flashing a zip I believe u can use titanium backup the long way.my model is ATT I337 S4 but the Rom I m on makes it a I9505 S4. I check on xda everyday to c if/when they will get the bootloader unlocked so we can go back to stock anytime we want.please don't quote me and I hope u can achieve what u want till it is fully unlocked.

without root, you can simply disable the apps you don't want to use. if you want to root your phone, you can use titanium backup to freeze the apps. everyone is saying freeze and not uninstall because there is no current method to restore our phone on mf3 update. so if you screw something up you're ****ed. I personally used rom toolbox pro to backup all the apps to an external sd, then I deleted them from the phone and haven't had any issues that I'm aware of

Search for rooting with MF3. There is a way, but there is no custom recovery. If you do root your phone and begin removing bloatware, you may cause irreversible damage since there is no way to odin back to stock.
I would wait until we have a way to install a custom recovery.
Root is possible, bloatware removal possible. Just be extremely careful what you delete or install for that matter, because currently there is no recovery at the moment for MF3 because of the locked bootloader. [email protected] You AT&T [email protected] You!
So I rooted the s4 with kingo root and everything went great. I then installed goo manager and installed twrp recovery...or so I thought. I then tried to reboot into recovery to flash the pac rom but my ohone rebooted into download mode stating that it couldnt boot into normal mode. Now ive officially rebooted into normal mode but how do I boot into recovery mode and not have that error again? I know this has prolly been asked before but im on my phone and its hard to navigate through thousands ofnpost to find the right answer.
Thanks in advance!

+1 and make sure you know what firmware you're on
what happened is you upgraded your bootloader to one that is "locked" and you can't go back. now you have to use safestrap recovery instead of TWRP. i did the same thing it sucks because now we can't use custom kernels.

Not if you're on mf3 firmware or newer. Do you know what firmware you're on?
im going to help you out because i went through this the other night:
first you need to do this to get out of download mode.
get odin3 for your pc and connect your phone while in download mode. if you haven't already get the http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows and install them.
next download this
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23321874045862958
this is 4 files you will put into odin to get you back to stock everything. this is 4.3 not 4.4.2 because i assume you want to have a rooted phone with a custom recovery and there is no way to root 4.4.2 yet or put a custom recovery on.
so when you unrar the file add the 4 files to ODIN and flash
NEXT: you should be in stock mode now. enable developer mode by going into settings about device and clicking build 7 times. enable usb debugging in developer mode.
now you can root. download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2559636&d=1391563147 , extract to a folder. connect your phone to your pc with usb and run install.bat. go through the process. now you are rooted.
next you can install safestrap recovery mode (looks just like TWRP just you cant install custom kernels.... and only some custom roms, sucks i know)
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jflteatt/safestrap/Safestrap-JFLTEATT-3.71.apk just run that and install recovery from the app.
so now you have your 4.3 phone with stock rom rooted and a custom recovery. IF YOU DARE try and flash a rom. go here for more info on that. scroll down to the part that says ROMS OVERVIEW
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
i tried and ended up stuck in download mode again so i gave up and am chilling in stock 4.3 with root and custom recovery at least for now until i have some free time to try another rom.
THE END. hope i help some people with this

So I've seen these threads before, but not for this build (since this Towelroot solution is so new). Here's what's going on.
Many of you have probably heard that NC1 is now rootable via a program called Towelroot (I'm a new user so XDA won't allow me to post a link, but it's the first result on Google). I am now successfully rooted, running 4.4.2 KitKat, build number KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1.
The problem is, I have no idea where to go from here. I'm told that since the bootloaders are still locked, I can't directly flash any custom roms with common recoveries. However, I have heard of Safestrap. So here are my questions:
What version of Safestrap should I install?
What can I do with Safestrap? In other words, can I run CM, Carbon, GPE and the like?
This may be asking a little much, but how do I go about running any of the above ROMs?
I feel really dumb asking all of these basic questions, but I'll probably end up feeling a lot more stupid if I brick my phone because I didn't ask the right questions. Thanks!
If you need to ask these questions you should not have rooted. Look in the general forum.

I freely admit that I'm new to this, so no reason to point that out. There are other reasons to root besides flashing custom ROMs, and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't have rooted. Every time I look through threads for my build, people just say that it can't be rooted (which is obviously no longer the case, since I'm successfully rooted). I just want to know what kind of capabilities I should look into, and as I understand it, the best way to do that and start tinkering is by using Safestrap.

As far as i know so far you can only install safestrap compatible roms ..Aosp such as cm and others I havent tried .. Safestrap gives you an option to create multiple rom slots ..Therefore you can run multiple roms without wiping one . If you have any other ?s feel free to PM me . I have only had this phone 2 weeks and it has been a learning process with 2 bricks .. So you can imagine that i have learned the do and dont dos . Mainly it happened when i got vague answers from others.. But youll will find everyone here is willing to help in one way or another.. Just dont post in the wrong thread ..LOL

Yes i understand ..I was about to throw my phone against the wall multiple times.. I can offer what has worked for me .. Downgrade to mk2. 4.3. You will get a semi functioning (No wifi or data) but thats ok .. Then you root it with kingo. And install safestrap 3.71 .. Then boot into recovery and flash Nb1_100%_Stock_Rooted.zip. Dont reboot system at that point reboot into download mode and flash the Modules. That will get you to a Stock rooted NB1 . Then there you can install 3.72 safetstrap.. this seems like a process which it is .. But it sounds like safestrap is giving you a problem with NC1.. I can confirm the method above works as i have done it multiple times.. Try to find a solution for your safestrap problem first. By the way . When you reboot your phone it should give you the option to go to recovery or system.. You dont need to choose reboot recovery.

I have only had this phone 2 weeks and it has been a learning process with 2 bricks .. So you can imagine that i have learned the do and dont dos . Mainly it happened when i got vague answers from others.. But youll will find everyone here is willing to help in one way or another.. Just dont post in the wrong thread ..LOL

Yes i understand ..I was about to throw my phone against the wall multiple times.. I can offer what has worked for me .. Downgrade to mk2. 4.3. You will get a semi functioning (No wifi or data) but thats ok .. Then you root it with kingo. And install safestrap 3.71 .. Then boot into recovery and flash Nb1_100%_Stock_Rooted.zip. Dont reboot system at that point reboot into download mode and flash the Modules. That will get you to a Stock rooted NB1 . Then there you can install 3.72 safetstrap.. this seems like a process which it is .. But it sounds like safestrap is giving you a problem with NC1.. I can confirm the method above works as i have done it multiple times.. Try to find a solution for your safestrap problem first. By the way . When you reboot your phone it should give you the option to go to recovery or system.. You dont need to choose reboot recovery.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 this is to downgrade
If all else fails then downgrade and get to stockrootednb1. You should have no issues using safestrap with NB1

Lmfao or you could get SELinux Mode Changer and set to permissive and not go through any of that and safestrap will install perfectly on 4.2.2 NC1

Thought NC1 was 4.4.kklmao on this end now
But good to know ..So SElinux mode changer will fix the safestrap issue on NC1 ?. could have saved me a whole night .. I have been cramming all this info in in one week bieng i just bought this device .. Gues that is what happens reading outdated threads.. Coming from a tmobile gs2 flashing world to this BS locked boot loader has been an experience .. What next your gonna tell me i can install a custom kernel to over clock with this Bl. Can I? lol..No but im serious
Hey, OP. Did you get everything working? I was curious if you got ss 3.72 working on NC1. I need to reflash my ROM (Hyperdrive RLS16) and was thinking I would update from NB1 to NC1 during the process if it was possible. Thanks.

Works fine. Just finally rooted my S4 and TWRP backed up without having to wipe/reload/restore anything at all.
