At&t mf3 4.3 to 4.4 safestrap - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Im trying to go from mf3 stock 4.3 rooted to 4.4 based roms using safestrap. I understand I need to flash the rom as well the gapps package. Do I need to flash any modules or build props? Would love an answer as I have read many forums and havent found the answer? The rom im trying to flash is unofficial carbon 4.4.

You have read nothing apparently. You keep asking this same question and I myself have told you you can't do it.
I am reporting you for spam. All you are doing is cluttering up the threads and the forums.

1.. ATT does not tell me if or what update does. This forum is where to ask.
2. I searched 4 different threads that were not conclusive and said wait for developers to tell you.
3. I have only 9 posts and can only do this in certain forums. I am following rules..

Oh noes, another MDL update thread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
You are running "UCUAMDB" firmware currently, aka "MDB" for shorthand. The current firmware that has been out for almost a month now is "MDL" firmware. The OTA update you are getting is for the update from almost a month ago which has since been deemed safe for Root and Recovery.
The links the others provided in the thread provide those answers. Just takes a bit more reading and understanding. Please read a bit more as the info is all there, or you will bound to run into more bashing like this.
Thank you for the help.

[Q] Will this rom work with my setup?

I'm currently thinking of flashing this rom on my S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520418
I current am rooted with the MF3 update and have Safestrap installed. My phone is unlocked with RegionLockAway. Will this rom work fine on my setup with Safestrap? What are the steps I need to take to install this?
It is a Verizon ROM... There would need to be some serious tweaking/mods done if I am not mistaken.

I flashed this rom earlier and it worked for me. Im currently on MF3 with Safestrap installed. Just be sure to download the ATT Compatibility pack from the rom's thread and MF3 kernel modules included in the Safestrap thread and flash them after installing the rom.

4.4 Kit Kat

So I see on nightlies there is a CM-11 Official AT&T 4.4 Kit Kat for the GS4. How can this be? If it's official then why the need for CM? And if run is running CM, then why Kit-Kat?. I thought CM was a ROM in itself?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Official means that Cyanogen officially supports the ROM and it is not a port.
4.4 means it is the Android version it is based off of.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok, thanks. I'm almost ready to press the button on CM.org's installer. Is it true that I first need to download the GApps zip, because I'll lose all my Google Apps? And I have also seen instructions that say to boot into CWM recovery and wipe data/factory reset... But those instructions were for downloading a CM zip to the extSD and then installing it from recovery mode. I'm wondering if I need to do all that if I'm just going to be using the OneClick installer
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I don't know anything about the one click. I don't use CM. It is best to follow the instructions from where you found it. Also, I see you are on the i337. What firmware are you on. If it is MF3 or newer, you will not be able to install CM.

Can you install 4.4 roms if your on mf3 with safestrap?

Do you recommend any specific rom on mf3 using safestrap
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Go back to the Safestrap Discussion thread. There is a list of compatible ROMs. It is entirely up to you what to run.

We do not recommended or do "best" roms...users are expected to do their own research and make their own, independent determinations.

Safestrap question.

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.

Thank you but I installed another recovery a while back and it deleted my stock recovery. I posted on here asking what I need to do and they told me safestrap. I'll keep looking around.

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
