Hello, and my apologies if this has been covered... I have been looking for quite some time now.. But i don't happen to see a list of working roms that work with the mf3 FW... I understand i cannot install 4.3+ and it has to be stock based. I am having trouble finding some though. Any help, would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks again.
There is a list... Look in the QA section.

Step one, read beerdroids "how to" guide on root, flash, etc. Look in the general forum

Make nandroid NOW and put a copy on your pc

I always read OP of Rom thread and first/last 20 pages before flashing--sometimes more
Yeah I backed it up on my SD card, next onto the computer. Now I need to work on cyanogenmod

OK guys I've learned a lot in the past 12 hours. I appreciate all of the help. My question, is it easier just to download cyanogenmod on the rom manager app than downloading it thru the website?

I would just go to the thread in the Original Development section on this forum, follow the direct link and download the latest nightly - I have experience with other devices but, after die research on here, bought my S4 this evening and had CM running ten minutes after I got home. You can do it too!

Good deal, you graduated No seriously, download it direct from the site. This insures a good copy. Very easy setup, so go for it.

Now as far as any OTA updates i want/need, what is the protocol in getting them?
You can't get them on a custom rom
I forget what I read on a custom recovery and rooted--getting older--
I think you need to go back to stock--someone can confirm
I haven't Googled that yet either
There were some rootkeeper apps that were used on my other phones, don't know what works here
I never took OTA's after rooted and flashing my other phones as dev's seemed to have updates faster than my carrier

Generally, the newer firmware versions that get pushed out as OTA updates will be incorporated into custom Touchwiz roms, such as ShoStock and Mint Jelly. However, if you flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based rom such as SlimBean or AOKP, OTA updates will be completely meaningless. It's a different world altogether.
Either way, my advice is the same: Don't mess with OTA's. At best, they could give you the same features as a custom rom. At worst, they could kill the Loki exploit and lock your bootloader for good.
hello,
I flashed triforce rom today and my network completely stopped working. I odin'd back to stock and still have no network/data. can anyone help me with this please? thank you so much
edit: nevermind please close thread i found the ## code. sorry for the useless thread
This is why you search before making a whole new thread. Take this as a lesson people. Glad you found your answer Hannah.

Does anybody know a way to get custom recovery on the MF3 build? I've tried too manager and using the terminal emulator with a TWRP image. Neither have worked

1. Its pretty annoying. Questions belong in the questions and answers section, not general.
2. Again, pretty annoying as well with repeating mf3 questions regarding recoveries. Read this thread below:

I have a at&t i337 s4 with android 4.3 mk2 & I need to root it so I can get my safestrap going for my custom rom of choice..I lost root & last time I was running 4.2.2 & used kingo root..I tried that today but it was only good up to 4.2.2 not 4.3 from what I gathered..so whats the quickest easiest way for me to root now? I've done some research but found alot of confusing & conflicting results so thought I'd just ask here on xda where I've never been done wrong..thanks

use vroot i found that the easiest. just download it and plug in your phone and it will root it and you are done
Kingo, don't have switch to supersu afterward.vroot works but have to switch to supersu for english
Im sorry if posting this in the wrong thread. Im a noob to the s4 & was wondering how far the development has gotten. Can we customize splash screen, bootanimations & boot sounds, unlock bootloader, and best way to root & best recovery? I know I didnt wird that question correctly and I apologize. Im just trying to find out what we can and cant do.
Thank you,
C

Check the indexed posts, they have all the info you need.
Our bootloader is unfortunately not unlocked
Root methods vary depending on what firmware you are on
Now lets follow xda rules and read and research before asking
