Here you go bud MJA tar
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...axy S4 (SPH-L720)/Stock ROMs/MJA/Original TAR
comes in zip format so extract then use in odin. and using a 4.2.2 tar didn't work because you can't go back to 4.2.2 once you are on 4.3 through odin.

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.
Hi.
Have a MF3 device. It won't update by itself, what's the best way to get it up to NB1 4.4.2 Kitkat. No custom ROM. Thanks!

I'd flash the nb1 tar file with Odin See the general forum for the tar file

TAR file is avaialable at All things AT&T MK2 and NB1
We dont yet have a simple way to get root on NB1.
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The MF3 update threads I have found seem outdated.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.
I have an ATT galaxy s4 I337 that I need to get firmware for. How do I know what firmware I need for my phone? Before the problems started I was on 5.0.2. Where can I get the correct firmware to install on my phone?
Thanks,
Jerry
Samsung/ATT are not updating anything that is flashable in Odin. You'll need to flash the nb1 tar file then ota up from there. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227
