You don't need a special recovery for each ROM. Since you're on MK2 you can't use AOSP ROMs like Cyanogenmod. Look in the All Things MK2 index thread in the general section for what you can use.

Try kies to restore the phone, try the mk2 update zip, or the mf3 tar files with odin. Or take it to best buy and have the Samsung guys flash it back to stock.

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.

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:

[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

Still got SafeStrap ROM...which at this point is 30+ some ROMz...which ain't that bad....considering....
Could of done without the hassle of ONLY SS Romz, much more prefer the CM, PACman, JellyBAM, Paranoid ANdroid, Carbon, AOKP AOSP ROmz...but hey... it's just wasn't in the cards, ya know.....?

Sure i would love to try it, bud...
But can you give me a COMPETE GUIDE of HOW-TO?
Keep in mind, Im on Stock MK2, rooted, safestrap 3.71.
Should I upgrade to NB1 first?
Flash some modules?
Flash some modem?
and compatibility pack?
Once on NB1, can I come back to MK2, just in case?
Some ppl say there is no root, of one is on NB1...is that true?
ANyways, please PM me, or publicly let me know the STEPS....from A to Z
THX, TED!!!!

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).

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:

THX for the insightfull info bud...That was very informative!
I always loved PACman, AOKP, AoCP on my S2, S3, but this AT&T i337 MK2, with locked bootloader...gave me a headache...but that's why we got SadeStrap, thanks for the great DEVS out there...we appreciate your works, and support you with buying you beers and icetea... because we love ur work, guys!
Keep up the good work!
