I need help. I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH - I337) Rooted from AT&T. I got two problems.
First I cannot update my version from JellyBean 4.2 to 4.3. Every time I had downloaded the update when the device restarts and it reaches 21% on the update it said's "Update Fail". What can I do?!
NOTE - (Someone told me that because I rooted the phone I cannot update my phone through AT&T servers)
Secondly my device from time to time restarts it self.
And sometimes the wifi stars connecting and disconnecting every few seconds.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Having root can stop the install.

The ATT updates can fail due to the device being rooted as stated by others here. Just as it has been recommended do a back up and a factory reset to see if it helps with your rebooting issues and wifi. Check your baseband under settings/about and if it ends with MDL i would recommend that you DO NOT update. The reason for this is that since you are rooted you can install ANY custom ROM on your phone, you can even install the latest google edition ROM 4.4.2. If you do the ATT updates and your baseband changes to MF3 or MK2 then you will be stuck with just limited ROMS and you will also be stuck with all the ATT/TW bloatware. Trust me 4.4.2 is soooo much better your phone will run alot faster and you will have the latest google version on your phone. I was on MDL and all the ATT updates failed on me and i just decided to install the google edition ROM and man oh man I LOVE IT!

You may not be able to flash 4.3 roms and above with no issues. Your bootloader is locked down and no custom kernel flashing either. Also, only TW roms. That said there is newer beta Safestrap 3.7.1? that is letting 4.3 TW roms flash. I think!
I am on an original phone and not up on Safestrap. Read all you can here about it. Threads will be in General and Q&A.

On MF3, your only option for a recovery is Safestrap 3.65 and you can only flash other 4.2.2 ROMS. Trying to use the updater in the GPE 4.2.2 ROM will possibly brick your phone. If you update to MK2 then you can have 4.3 ROMS but the 4.3 GPE ROM uses a different kernel and so you won't be able to use it.

Yes, but if anyone is asking for the record it's still in beta, only on Hashcode's goo.im, and if they're still on MF3 they should stay if they want GPE and check which ROMs are compatible in the Safestrap thread before going to MK2.

What can you do?
For one thing you can flash a custom rom which is a finished product.
But if you want to fool around with Google Edition roms you can try this little trick,
reboot the phone and toggle the wifi on and off 3 or 4 times waiting about 10 seconds
between toggling. For some people this little trick temporarily fixed the wifi issue.

I am assuming that you have never done an OTA and updated to the official
MF3 4.3 firmware yet, if you have done an OTA MF3 update then ignore this post.
There are no google edition 4.3 roms which are safestrap compatible as of yet.
So far only the Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 custom roms are compatible with it.
The only reason that your phone is working with the google edition rom
is because it's based on version 4.2.2 rom.
None of the developers are going to create a full featured custom google
edition 4.2.2 rom since the official 4.3 firmware is available.
However if you want to try a full featured Touchwiz Jellybean custom rom
which I would highly suggest.
This custom rom is based on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware.
It's called "Darthstalker v9" and it's really excellent.

MF3 4.3 firmware? I thought MF3 was 4.2.2, and 4.3 is MFJ or something like that. But I am on MF3, 4.2.2, I have Safestrap, and I can install ROM's. So should I still check out your suggestion?

It will explain it all to you in great detail, the thread also has links where you can
go directly to the custom rom thread and download "Darthstalker v9" rom & others.
Currently there are only three full featured custom roms which are fully compatible with MF3.
Darthstalker v9 is one of them and it was very recently updated.
You will see the links to them on the very first post.

Hi, you said you forgot to flash the kernel modules to get wifi working with MF3, but when you did, wifi was working correctly. I cant FOR THE LIFE of me figure out how to get my wifi working. I flashed the "jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip" file from Hashcode's safestrap forum, but cannot get it to work. Ive also wiped everything and tried flashing the rom and module again, but no luck. Do you have links or can you tell me which kernel I should be flashing please? I really love Darthstalker and this is the only thing holding me back..
EDIT: Nevermind... Thank you anyway.. I re-downloaded the module and re-did the whole flashing process. Its working now.. Weird. Ive done the same thing atleast 5 times.. Oh Well.. Im happy now! :victory:

I didn't see anyone mention it so i'll tell you - this is a simple fix.
If you are running MF3 and are using this GPE Rom 4.2.2 via SafeStrap, you need to simply flash the kernel for MF3 AFTER you've flashed the GPE Rom.
You can A.) Wipe your current Rom-Slot, flash the ROM itself then immediately flash the kernel provided at (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925) ---> Just above "Manually remove SafeStrap"
Or you can B.) Just flash the kernel zip package over the same Rom-Slot you have the Google Play Edition Rom 4.2.2 on.

I upgraded to 4.3 last night. I greatly dislike it, and want to downgrade back to 4.2.2
I tried running my phone in Odin mode and installing an older version of 4.2.2 (from May, I believe), but every time I run it, the FAIL box appears. Is there a another way of downgrading, or I am doing it wrong?
Thanks for any and all help!
At this point you are stuck on 4.3 ( I'm guessing Mj6 leak) until there is an odin flashable rom for mj9 the Mj6 update contained knox security among other things that prevents the downgrade (blown qfuse and such) hope that answers your question

I believe he took the OTA update that AT&T pushed overnight. But yes, your correct that he will be unable to downgrade for the foreseeable feature due to Knox and what will likely be another incremental qFuse. I'm staying on 4.2.2 with SafeStrap on MF3 for a few more weeks to see what developments take place due to the release of 4.3 finally.
We need to be more specific when stating limitations. We can assume MJ9 incremented the qfuse based on past updates. So what that means is you cannot revert aboot/BLs to a prior version. It remains unclear as to whether MJ9 BL's will boot prior kernels. I havent had a chance to look at the MJ9 files yet.
What about taking his phone to Best Buy to have them flash MF3 on it?
Could be they still have it in the computer maybe.

The blowing of a q-fuse means it is literally impossible to downgrade, even for Best Buy. Once you're on it, that's it. All they can do is take the new 4.3 build and flash it.
I received the OTA update.
Anyways, thanks for all the quick replies. Is there a way to re-add the "Mobile Data" toggle? I don't like how they removed that, and limited the toggle tray to 10 (instead of being able to scroll through all the toggles).
EDIT:
Is there a way to re-hide the apps in the App-Drawer? (I liked being able to display only the ones I wanted)

Hey guys was hoping to get a little help. I am currently running foxhound 4.1 on my S4. The baseband version is I9505XXUFNA5. Its OS 4.4.2. In the process of flashing this rom according to the instructions on the dev thread said i had to flash a different bootloader and modem before flashing the rom. This process worked fine and i have been running without issue. Work has now decided that they want everyone on Android 4.3 so we can use apps they made to make our job easier so i need to go back to 4.3. I attempted this last night and when i try to flash a 4.3 rom via cwm it returns an error saying that the bootloader is the incorrect one and fails and i have to reinstall foxhound again to make the phone usable. Any one know how i go about getting back to 4.3 or where to get the correct bootloader and modem so i can flash them via odin and then install Androind 4.3? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers Jeff

Nope not at this stage cannot downgrade to older bootloader, sorry.
The best you can do is install a 4.3 custom rom. Try an echoe rom, version 12.1 the final bean I think should do.

Dont worry about Odin saying the device is i9505 or so. The flash will work.
For samsung phones running full stock firmware, all the components have the same version. Since your build is NC1, your bootloader is also NC1.
You are in the right track. Follow the downgrade thread to partial downgrade to MK2. Then use saferoot to root. Then install safestrap v3.72. Then use the deadly venom kitkat magic tool to install any kitkat rom of your choice from this list (post 3).
You cannot install any AOSP based rom. So, no CM. Even google play edition roms dont work.
You can install AOSP themed roms (like BlackBox3.0)

As already stated, no AOSP based roms will work (ROMs that are built by compiling AOSP code). Only TouchWiz based roms will work. If you need AOSP look and feel, you can install an AOSP themed rom.
CM/AOSP on ATT S4 is only possible if you have the MDB/MDL bootloader. Anything above that, it wont work.

Don't select the reboot now option in the aroma installer at the end. Then, after the ROM flash is complete and before you reboot the phone, you need to put the phone back in download mode and flash the MLD ap/bl/cp files from the tool

He probably was following the steps that were provided elsewhere here that had you go from nc1 to nb1 then back to the M (I can't remember which M) one.

I had rooted MK2 and the installed the custom ROM (Blackbox) and then was suppose to flash NB1.
So, if I just did a factory reset it would solve my error?
Thanks for the help!
Edit:
I tried doing the factory reset. It just wipes all the user data. And I am still stuck on the same screen with Samsung and the custom logo.

I had rooted MK2 and the installed the custom ROM (Blackbox) and then was suppose to flash NB1.
So, if I just did a factory reset it would solve my error?
Thanks for the help!

I have sent you a PM. Probably I can assist better on hangout.
i root my gs4 with odin, everything went fine but I wanted to get my gs faster so i downloaded kernel for gs4 and flashed it. mistake here. i didnt check if it supports 4.4.4. it only support devices under 4.3 so.. no wifi. that was the problem i had other than that, all was good. than I downloaded some OTA file for my gs4 and when i tried to flash it with safestrap, it kept said fail. so i thought it's maybe because i already have OS installed... so i wiped system,data and i tried to flash that OTA file, fail again. now im screwd. there is no OS on my gs4. when i trun it on, it vibrates, than reboots and than goes into Odinmode and say something like "nornal boot not possible" in red.
so i spent couple days searching how to get my phone work again but everything i tried didnt work. and for galaxy s4 sgh i337 nj4 version 4.4.4 it even made me think it was made just for me.
i tried kies, failed it told me to do emergency recovery but my phone does not show on list.

You'll have to use the ODIN file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223
Flash that in ODIN, use the rootable version if you want to root it using towelroot.
Besides that, you can't flash any custom kernels on the S4 unless you're on the 4.2.2 MDL bootloader, and there's no way to get back to that from 4.4.
