Hi,
My S4 got bricked a while back and at that time the 4.3 leak was the only thing available to revive my phone.
I'm on 4.3 MJ6 firmware. I was wondering if there was a way to root that or update to a different version and root that instead.
Trying to get safestrap back on my phone as well, missing it from MF3 :crying:
Thanks in advance! :good:

That was the method I was going to use but the link to the files for odin are not there.

either go with Heimdall or do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47586777&postcount=135
This will wipe data if the other method doesn't, i don't know though.

on top of stock rom, my stock rom was JeallyBean 4.2.2 i337 mf3 not mdl and i read there are no mf3 files for odin
So i managed to fix this problem just by downloading stock rom for my phone and flashing with safestrap: Galaxy S4 rooted Stock ROM AT&T SGH-i337 MF3 (i found that on google)
The rom i downloader is rooted. and it said to install Loki after finishing flashing rom but i managed not to.
after you finished flashing you need to install also: jflteatt-MF3-modules(attachment) : this will make your wifi to work.
Every thing i just said, worked for me! do this at your own risk! im not responsible for any damages!!!
Wait what if you flash MDL with safestrap, and use goo.im for TWRP? It could possibly brick but just an idea.

It wouldn't. The bootloader is still MF3 no matter what you do to the system, and so it will still be locked with no way to bypass it.

hi guys this morning i woke up and i had the 4.4 update ready to install, but i did not knew that it would not install as i am rooted,
cant find an unroot method for the 4.3, the only thing i found was Qbking77 method but it has the 4.2 tar files, would it unroot my phone with that file or would it brick my phone??
btw, i have been on this forum more than 2 hours trying to find a solution

thank you!
I am running stock AT&T 4.2.2 MF3 rooted with Motochopper, I believe.
An OTA downloaded on my device today, NC1 I guess? I knew I couldn't install it because either it would fail after detecting root, or I would potentially brick.
I wanted to update to stock NB1 or NC1 (maintaining or re-establishing root afterward).
The MF3 update threads I have found seem outdated.
Please let me know what the safest way to flash the latest stock that is rootable.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Sixftsix, I am in the same boat as you. MF3 rooted wanting to upgrade to NC1. Did it successfully work for you? The files say NB1 to NC1 not MF3 to NC1 so I was just wondering if it worked. Also what version of Safestrap did you use?
Thank you very much!

I haven't upgraded yet, I'm still confused on what is the proper/safest method.
I am not sure if we have to go from MF3 > MK2 > NB1 > NC1... or if we can go directly to NB1 with this: "NB1 STOCK -- Get to NB1 Stock from NB1 or earlier... I337UCUFNB1 4.4 Stock Odin Tar & System Dump", then use the NB1 to NC1 method.
Let me know if you attempt anything and the results, I will do the same. I did lot of reading with no clear answers.
If anyone can confirm the best method, I would appreciate your help!

Apparently you need to upgrade to MK2, root, then do MK2 to NB1, and then NB1 to NC1. Its a process. I think I'll just stick with 4.2.2 until a root method is available for KitKat then I'll just upgrade to KitKat instead of flashing because I always have bad luck when it comes to soft modding...
Good luck.

If you want NB1, you can flash straight to it with the ODIN package. If you want root, you can flash to either MK2 or NB1 but going to NB1 adds in the downgrade steps.

Thank you! One question. I use Linux so I wouldn't be using ODIN I would be flashing with Heimdall. Same thing right?

Slightly different. You'll have to extract the partitions to flash from the ODIN file since it doesn't work with ODIN packages directly. Alternatively, you could try JODIN3.
hey im on 4.4.2 MF3 galaxy s4 which is rooted, should i update to kitkat 4.4.2? and if so can i root it. ive read the forums and i cant find a definate answer to that question. thanks.

this root seems alot more complicated than the one for MF3.
The direct root for NC1 is called towelroot. That thread also mentions this.

Turn on your OTA. Within one or two days AT&T will update your phone to 4.4.2 and NC1 firmware. Then you use towelroot .
If the OTA did not happen within two days, you might need to odin the stock MF3 then use the update software function to get OTA.
I turned in the ota and it downloaded the update but it won't update it. It keeps failing and it says my firmware in up to date and u have to wait 23 hours to do it again.

Sometimes, if you have rooted rom, it could happen.
Like I said, wait one or two days to see whether OTA successfully updated. If not you need to odin the stock MF3 to get OTA working..

Please check out this thread.
Sometime OTA does not work if you were rooted. That happened to my while I was with android 2.xx .
So every time I want an OTA, I odin the stock rom.
