Just go into the general section and use either the Update.zip thread or the ODIN files for MK2.

You couples options:
1. Update to MK2 firmware first | ★ MK2 ★ FULL ODIN TAR FILES ★ MK2 ★ | ★ UNBRICKED ★ Jan.25.2014 ★ | check post#2 on guide how to.....:good:
2. After u updated.....u need to have root access to remove all ATT bloatware ....use this SAFEROOT METHOD
3. After u have root access then u can install Titanium Backup from Play store that required root access....and u just uninstall any ATT bloatware that u don't want from there that start with ATT or end with ATT apk or any other that u don't like or use ( Be careful and make sure u know what u are doing ).
4. U can also install the ONLY recovery that work for MK2 as of right now ................SafeStrap-v3.7.1
5. If u have SafeStrap recovery installed then u can choose over 20+ Custom 4.3 ROM that u can install and doesn't come with ATT bloatware...Check this MK2 INDEX &ROM LIST by @guut13 ....
GOODLUCK.....HOPE THIS HELP U GET IT UPDATE AND SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.....:good:

Unfortunately it is not possible. If you ever try to flash a i9505 firmware you would brick your device. Because the ATT i337 has locked bootloaders for one, and second is it is different as far as firmware because of the boot loader.
What you MAY be able to do is if you use safe strap for MK2 you might be able to find a ROM you can flash that doesn't have all the ATT bloatware. With the ATT bloatware removed it would basically be the same as a i9505. But kies will never work except IF ATT allows Samsung to start putting the firmware files on kies, it seems like ATT doesn't allow it any longer.

THanks for u r the suggestion bro.... i dont want safestrap on my mobile it may eat some space for partition i think!!

Safestrap is the ONLY recovery that we can use as of right now for MK2 firmware. ...... as long as you follow MK2 INDEX & ROM LIST by @guut13. .... alot of custom 4.3 rom that able to flash on Stock Slot by now ..... meaning that u don't have to share system partition in it. ..... and u would have all the internal memory storage. .... Unless if you create rom slot 1 or 2 then u have limited internal memory storage ..... since your stock rom slot still in place. .....:thumbup:

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

The OP has a link to download the update and side load it. I was able to install off my sd card through stock recovery. I detailed somewhere towards the end of the thread how I did it. It was off topic however. Feel free to ask questions. I will try to consolidate a good how to a little later tonight.

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.

hi ted...updated my drivers, used your link to get the newest odin...now here comes the dumb stuff...seriously, i am 57 and i could have auditioned for "dumb and dumber" so here goes..
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.
thanks!

Can I simply flash the MF3>MK2 update.zip from the stock recovery after putting on sd card? I see those instructions on your thread but thought someone mentioned that this update was safer to be done through odin with the update file on computer. How should I update to mk2?
Edit** Do we even have Mk2 tar files to flash via odin??

Thats only true for i337, i377m or canadian variant, can run anything. It will trip knox, but i can run any cwm/twrp and any rom on a 4.3 updated i377m.

Perform a factory wipe after the flash to clear old data. Wiping cache isnt enough, u wanna clear the old sys and usr data

Can someone please put me out of my misery?
Thank you so much guys. I appreciate your help.

Here is what happened. I got a brand new S4. And I wanted to add a custom ROM. SO i rooted the device and added safetrap so I can load a custom ROM.
Now the problem is I only see 3 roms made for mk2. And would like to go back to original firmware. I have SHOStock 3.0 but I really want to just get back to the original firmware. So I have some peace of mind.
Update 4.3 mk2 from sd card in recovery mode.

There ARE more than 3 roms for the mk2 build, you just have to slow down and read first. If your in a hurry to just flash something onto your S4, walk away & come back when you aren't. Haste is your enemy here, but reading & research are your 2 best allies. Shostock, Darthstalker, Dark Carnage, Venom, Hyperdrive, Echoe, (Full & Slim versions) that's 6 custom rom for mk2 I've named so far. Good luck.

Safestrap still only option for mf3?

I was on this forum a few months ago when I had an s4. my girlfriend still has one (came with mf3) and is having trouble with her rom so I wanted to go back to stock and put a new updated rom on there for her. I have the mf3 tar files for odin so I can take it back to stock. my question is, with mf3 is safestrap still the only option for custom roms? thanks guys

Yes that's the only way back to stock by flashing MF3.tar.... and also yes to SafeStrap even with the newest MK2 4.3 rom.....SS still the only option we got. ...:good:

After MF3>MJ6>MJ9>MK2.....I added ODIN3v1.85 POST#2....from my MK2.tar Thread....just in case someone need it .........check it out u might want to update to MK2 firmware instead ..... Either way any version of ODIN should work just fine as long as u have your driver installed......if not get it from SAMSUNG KIES.....I believed inside MF3.tar contain 4 md5 files.....and follow this image below where it should go into ODIN SLOT.....GOODLUCK...and also check this MK2 INDEX & ROM LIST by @guut13 if u planning to update to MK2.....:good:.
