[Q] Galaxy S4 I337 Custom ROM/Miui need help Please/Thanks! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Alright this may be a little bit of a long one, but I'm hoping I can provide as much information as I can to get as much help from you guys as possible. Now you'll have to bare with me. I'm not new to technology, but am new to rooting.
I have a Galaxy S4 US Version ATT I337 running 4.3 Base-band I337UCUEMK2. I've had it since the day they came out, and finally got too board with it, decided to root and look into a custom ROM. I rooted using the saferoot file listed below (I would link the tutorial/instructions I followed but I can't seem to find the link again..). Root works great, I get SuperSU and can use root access on apps like EZ Manager, Rom Manager, etc. So that's great.
I then decided I wanted a custom ROM. I've decided it's a tie between Miui and CyanogenMod.I figured I'd give MIUI a shot first because it's looks like a "cleaner" "newer" version. Either way, it's what I decided. I followed this tutorial here
http://en.miui.com/thread-4712-1-1.html
Now I realize that's for the 19505 firmware, but I read a few places (here included that the 19505 version works clean on the I337.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335079
I boot into recovery (Hold Volume Up+Power+Middle Button) and select boot from sdcard after I moved it over. It wipes all the data on the phone, then gives me an error stating something about signature verification (I can't give the exact, it happens pretty fast). Not a problem, just a bad file or download (even though I got it from the miui site). So I tried different download links, and different versions all with the same issue.
I figure, screw it miui isn't going to work. I'll try CyanogenMod. Same exact issue.
After a little more research, I find that CWM is the recovery program. So I look into it being an issue with that. I find that Rom Manager is the best way to get the most up to date CWM. Inside of Rom Manager v5.5.3.7 it says I'm using 6.0.4.4 ClockworkMod Touch. Well this brings up what I THINK might be the issue, and kind of confusing. The recovery I'm using isn't touch.. and it looks nothing like some of the images I see come up with CWM 5x or 6x, and has a lot less options that some people are saying I should have (ignore signiture verification blah blah blah) all I really get is to install from different places, or to wipe cache and factory reset.
So I figure great.. CWM is broken, screw that one too.
Let's get GooManager and try TWMP. Download it, Settings>Install OpenRecoveryScript blahblahblah. Click on reboot recovery, and this is another odd part. It doesn't boot into recovery, it boots into Odin Download mode. But not just boots into it, it boot loops it. I can get out of the boot loop by forcing it to shut down, then enter Odin Download myself, but instead of volume up, choose volume down to cancel restart phone, then it restarts normal. But if I just shut down, then power back on it boot loops it again. And now I can't get into CWM at all, which kinda sucks.
So as you can see, I've got quite a few different issues going on, and all I want it Miui or CyanogenMod. Ha.
Anyways, instructions? Suggestions? Help? I appreciate everything you provide, and thank you in advance.

Id hate to come off as rude but.... Do you think we could use full sentences? I don't quite understand. Only safestrap for what? For root? How do I revert back to use safestrap? That off limit list, not to sure what they are.
I'd appreciate clarification so I can get this fixed but thanks for the help and time!

And thanks mate. Keep post favorite I'll let you know what I get as soon as I do.

Actually.. looks like I'll have to wait until I get home. File is too large to download at work, bandwidth would all be stolen and I'd hear people complain. Anything over 500MB I try to stay away from...
So when I get home I can give it a shot, and I'll update you on what I found.
Thanks again mate.

Okay my first question on this process...
On the MK2 Unbrick Method. Is says to use the Mk2 Update.zip then follow the instructions posted by gtj0. But I'm not seeing a link for update.zip.

Or should I use the I337MK2stockrecovery.tar.md5 file?

Next question.. should I use the mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z/mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z files or is there a mk2 version?

Okay update:
That first tutorial worked perfect with Odin. No boot loop/brick. Still got root and all root related apps/normal apps and info.
Going to try the second tutorial here shortly to get the recovery. I'll keep updating.

MF3>MK2 update.zip files located on first post (OP).....If u flash i337MK2stockrecovery.tar.md5 and stock boot.tar don't work.....then u have to flash mf3 emergency part 1 and 2......follow the guide and use MK2 update.zip files in the end......OP, second post and third post all connected.. It depend what do you want to achieve. ......goodluck

Another update. Got safestrap. Everything seems to be working perfectly fine. Backing up now so I can try to download custom rom.
I'll post and let you know if it works or not. Thanks so much for your help mate.

Quick (hopefully last) question:
Can any rom be used for any recovery? Trying to install miui on the safetrap 3.71, which is at least working but it's giving me an error. A different one then the one I was getting before in CMW.

From what I read AT&T pulled the update because it had "Problems". So ATM there's no OTA.

Raidel00 has a thread opened up for mf3 to mj9. I don't know how successful his thread has been since I used the other method (link) you posted and it worked fine for me. But don't you just have to side load it through adb or through SD card? Since your on mf3 you dont have to download the mf3 partial file that I had to download since I was on mj6 correct?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
This is correct. Just download the update file, rename to a zip and side load through adb or use recovery to install.

About to try this with my ATT S4 with MF3 and report.
If you do have troubles still when your phone boots and you are rooted use a file explorer to look at the log files in /cache/recovery to see where it failed.
This is how I installed my MJ9. I had a modified feature.xml file.

i see all the files...the .tar files.. if i do not download the "all in one", do i download and use the three other .tar files? (stockrecovery, stockmodem and boot? or do i just use one? my goal s to have 4.3 and a rooted phone. am i able to save all my apps and data using titanium backup with no fear of losing all my stuff?
thanks for repeating what is probably here somewhere and i could figure out if i took a few days..

Choose only one. ... If u use 4 files then u need to place it according to image on post #2...... Each file goes to each Odin slot. ...... but if u choose all in one file then only place it on PDA slot from Odin. The others separate files from post#3 use it only if you soft bricked and want to replace certain file ( recovery, boot or modem).Both 4 files and all in one files would wipe your data and apps..... It would take you straight to stock MK2 firmware.

MK2 being 4.3? it seems to me, the easiest riute is the all in one, although it is huge..i can always delete it after use of course.
from what i understand, even after a wipe, i can reinstall titanium backup and get all my data and apps back or is there a better way? member, dumber here...
and, stock MK2... is there a link to rooting this after i do the upgrade ? i like a rooted phone..i unlocked the bootloader on my atrix , i guess more as an act of defiance than knowing wtf i was doing...
so now with my S4, i hope to resolve the freeze and wi-fi issues...i had no such problems with my S3..and of course i want to attain root.

What firmware did your device have installed? MF3, MK2? You'll have to use odin if on MF3, or the mk2 unbreakable zip if you're on mk2.

There's only safestrap 3.65 and 3.71. In the future read more, because safestrap is only capable of running touchwiz roms, not cyanogenmod. This has to do with the kernel. Now that you flashed to stock slot your recovery is borked. Do what he said above.

I have about the same problem. I recently rooted my phone then downloaded a root required app. After the download, it made me reboot and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with stock recovery mode and download mode. I've tried everything I can since I'm limited to only using a mac. Please help ASAP. Thanks.

[Q] Installing Custom Roms?

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to android and custom ROMs as I just switched back to android last week. I looked some things up already, but I'm still pretty confused about working out ROMs on my Galaxy S4.
So this is some information that I got from looking stuff up and just wanted to confirm.
1) My phone is on MK2
2) Rooting is possible (I rooted my phone), but you can't download most ROMs
3) There is no way to change from MK2?
4) Only TouchWiz ROMs will work on my phone
5) Clockwork Recovery and TWRP doesn't work, only SafeStrap
I want to confirm these as I want to install CyanogenMod 11 on my phone.
Half of these questions are probably out there, but I'm new to this all and just want to confirm everything. Thank you for your time.

Hello,
2) Rooting is possible (I rooted my phone), but you can't download most ROMs .. not true... you need to use safestrap recovery. There are close to 30 roms you can install.
3) There is no way to change from MK2?... Nope. can't go back.
4) Only TouchWiz ROMs will work on my phone.. correct. only touchwiz 4.3 roms
5) Clockwork Recovery and TWRP doesn't work, only SafeStrap... correct.

That's the worst one you could have flashed, it contains new bootloader. I have not kept up there and you should go back read entire thread.
Also, just FYI read OP and first and last pages of rom threads before flashing unless you are already familiar with rom. Saves a lot of headaches--
But, again NO 4.4--hope you get it sorted. If I run across anything, will post

I just followed the recovery process in this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
However, although it is working, there are some things I found.
1) This process will reinstall all bloatware (which isn't really a problem unless maybe the reinstalled bloatware takes up too much space)
2) My phone lags a bit and constantly pops a message saying that the Samsung Keyboard stop working, which makes going into apps and such very difficult. (EDIT: Fixing this is just changing the default keyboard. Will try reinstalling it to see what happens)
3) You lose root

1.Turn your phone off......go to stock recovery .... hold (VolUp+home+power) together......When u feel vibration only let go power button while still holding both key until u see samsung splash screen and blue tiny rebooting recovery text on the top left and u can let go both key......it should take u to stock recovery and then select full wipe/factory reset....do it couples time just to make sure everything is out and u get clean start stock MK2...... Goodluck. ...:thumbup::thumbup:
2.Root your phone using Saferoot method .....check the link from MK2 INDEX and ROM LISTS thread by @guut13 that I posted earlier .....install Titanium Backup from Play store and uninstall any bloatware that u don't like...... Goodluck. ....:thumbup::thumbup:
3. If you ever lose root. ... flash the SuperSu.apk fix that I posted for all three Roms SuperSU.APK FIXED

Great. If you are up on Safestrap and full wipe and flash an appropriate 4. 3 rom, the issues may dissappear.

[Q] S4 ATT i337 on Stock MK2.jeboo kernel/rec needed 2 install SHOstock v3.0 ?

Hey guys,
I am very familiar with custom roms and your kernels, from always using them on my SGS2 i777 (AT&T), but i just bought an SGS4 i337 AT&T, on MK2 baseband, and everybody suggested I should install the SHOstock v3.0 for the i337 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2305752).
Problem is, I am sooooo confused now, because there is jeboo kernels: (Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0a-i.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0a.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v2_2.zip)
...than there's your RECOVERY: Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip
so Im very confused now how I should go about installing our most awesome DEV shoman94's SHOstock v3.0) ROM...==> THAT I DUNNO WHAT SHOULD I DO ANYMORE.....
1. Because, on the thread there (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2305752), in POST#1 it says , in the Instructions, that :We must be running a custom recovery using Jeboo's Recovery from Post#4 which is your Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip
2. But how should I run the Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip RECOVERY, if Im on SafeStrap 3.71 (which is a recovery also)???
3. If i flash Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip, wont that brick (or softbrick) the S4?
4. Or if I flash Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip, will I end up having 2 recoveries? Or will I only end up with having only the Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1 ???
5. In POST#3, it says that:
IF YOUR PHONE HAS MF3/MK2 BOOTLOADERS, YOU MUST RUN THE MF3/MK2 STOCK KERNEL. DO NOT TRY INSTALLING ANYTHING BELOW UNLESS YOU HAVE MDB/MDL BOOTLOADERS THAT SUPPORT LOKI!!
So, should I NOT flash your Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v2_2.zip , since I am on MK2 stock kernel/baseband/bootloader....?
Check it out: http://i.imgur.com/cNWijKF.png
7. I mean, what is BELOW MF3/MK2 and ABOVE MDB/MDL? Because it also says, that: All binaries posted here will be loki'd (as signified by the .lok extension).
SO, keeping in mind that Im on Stock MK2 , but also Im ROOTED via SAFEROOT.zip (as you can see in the pic above: (http://i.imgur.com/cNWijKF.png) , can someone please tell me if I should flash this SHOstock v3.0, and more speciafically, WHICH, IF ANY of you jeboo kernels and Jeboo Recovery should I use?
Can I bug any of you to tell me the exact steps on how to get this SHOstock 3.0 on my i337, if I'm on MK2, rooted, and safestrap-ed?
ANy help would be much appreciated

As another user who came from the i777 forums, the biggest thing that wasn't explicitly stated anywhere that tripped me up was that recovery and kernel are NOT linked. That is, you can flash a custom recovery, e.g. Safestrap (which you seem to have already done) without changing the kernel at all. That allows you to flash custom ROMs via the custom recovery, but limits you to ONLY ROMs that can use the stock kernel (they're usually labeled for Safestrap).
As far as being on MK2, an MK2 bootloader cannot be modified with the Loki exploit, therefore you cannot change the stock kernel and thus your phone will remain locked. Thus, Safestrap is your only option. Devs are working on it, but progress has been pretty slow and SS works well in the meantime. It just kinda bites not having the freedom we used to have, but I can't really complain too much.
Just thought I'd share some useful info :good:

Did you wipe data anywhere in there? If not, do that. If you did, Gravitron does seem to take longer to boot first time than other ROMs so give it time.

There is a guide by didact74 in the VZW section, but I don't think that has been updated for KitKat. There are Xposed modules that do the same thing.

I checked his guide..... Those steps are far beyond my ability :crying: Most i can do is flash zip files and editing build prop :laugh:
I tried his flashable zip file . That didnt work. I think that only works with stock rom. I tried xposed module . didnt work either :crying:
If it's not too much to ask. is there any chance you can make a flashable zip specific for your rom? :good::good::good:
