HI there,
DOes anyone have a solution for us stuck on MK2?
I have the following problems:
I bought this i337 second hand, and it came with UCUAMK2 firmware.
I rooted it with SAFEROOT (saferoot.zip). That worked fine.
But I cant install LOKI, to get the ClockWorkMod, so I can't install Custom ROMs.
Because when I type in the commands in Android Terminal, to flash loki's CWM recovery, it says :
[+] loki_flash v1.1
[-] Loki aboot version does not match device.
SO i figure, I have to revert back to MDB or MDL firmware.
BUT when I open ODIN, and try to flash the official firmware:
1. I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_I337UCUAMDB_HOME.tar.md5
it FAILS in ODIN, so I (try) to flash this:
2.I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5
but that FAILS also!!!!!!!
SO should I install SAFESTRAP?
Some ppl complain, that screws things up, and end up in bootloop, and can't remove this SAFESTRAP...so i dunno if
i should install it.
Does flashing via/using ODIN FAIL==> because my bootloader is LOCKED?
Can you tell me how to Unlock my bootloader????
I need to go back to MDB or MDL, because otherwise I can't unlock the carrier restriction, since I'm on Vodafone,
and not on AT&T!
Plus, I was always installing custom Roms on my S2, S3, and all my other android devices since 2009....sorry to see
that the S4 is
such a headache....
Can you help me out please, seeing how good aof a DEV you are....?
Please and thank you

You SOL buddy. Sell the phone and get something else. You will never be able to downgrade

You will need to use safestrap.
Loki does not work with MK2 because they patched it in the MK2 update.
At this point in time the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
el o el
The s4 is nothing like previous samsung devices...at least on att, the bootloader is locked, safestrap is your only option.
Also keep in mind, att stated about a year ago they will no longer be supporting phones with unlocked bootloaders...so the problem you are experiencing now can be expected on every new att branded phone

There is NO WAY back from mk2. You can flash custom roms ONLY with Safestrap. No CWM no TWRP. Read this guide, it has everything you need to know for the S4. There is nearly 30 custom roms tested & affirmed working. Good luck & happy reading.

SGS4 AT&T i337 on Stock MK2...jeboo kernel/recovery needed to install SHOstock v3.0 ?
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

You are making it too hard. You need to be on 3.71 Safestrap to flash Sho's 3.0. You must use default (stock) kernel. You can not flash any other kernels period. And no other recoveries. And no 4.4 or aosp roms. I am not on SafeStrap as I have a MDL phone. So, you need to go the SafeStrap thread and read up on flashing a rom on SafeStrap. There are a couple threads on the subject. Read all you can first and make any backup your phone/recovery allows before flashing. Also, do a clean wipe before installing rom. That may be different then a clean wipe on MDL/Custom Recovery, not sure--:good:

Phone came from the Store with MDL, ( I see it on the Original box: SoftWare Ver: UCUAMDL....
The guy I bought it from rooted it, and loki-ed it... how did that OTA come through, I wonder? Once rooted and LOKI-ed...the OTAs shouldn't come through, right?
Sounds like the seller messed up and flashed back to stock. He was probably selling it to cut his losses.

Answer, yes & yes. There is plenty of custom roms for mk2 in the All things mk2 guide. You can also upgrade to 4.4.2 Kit Kat now as well. Forget about MDL cause there's no way to go back to it.

But if he had it LOKI-ed, that means he was just fine on MDL, no need for SafeSTrap, unlocked BL prolly ... he was free to install CM, GPE, AOSP, PACman and all these ROMs....so why flash it back to stock MK2? I mean, cutting his losses....that's funny...I mean, unless the MK2 OTA from AT&T came forced.... WHo knows...
He probably didn't know what he was doing, got stuck, and tried to Odin back to stock. Only he used the mk2 package and not the MDL one.
Stuff like that never surprises me anymore. People don't want to learn/read. Just give me the file so I can flash it.

Just ask for a little help, ...why is that so hard, right?
I've been reading up on all I could, and now that I "kinda" get a better understanding of how things lay with the i337 MK2...I can make a decision to flash, and stay stock...
Problem is, I have been flashing since 2009, so I can't imagine owning a droid, AND NOT FLASH IT!!! IT KINDA DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF OWNING AN ANDROID, right? hehehe
I know that feeling. At least Safestrap is a decent option. I rushed out to grab my MDL 32gb one before they updated their stock.

Yes, prolly could upgrade to 4.4 , but would be needing to flash the NB1 modem, baseband first right?
ANd ppl are saying there is not much SafeStrap versions for KK 4.4(.2) yet, or am I wrong?
DO you know any ROMz like that?
Would it be possible to come back to JB 4.3, once on KK, that you know of?
Lemme know, bud...THX
ANy links.....?
I am new to flashing so sorry if I have asked some stupid questions.
I have SGH-I337 (ATT) and would like to root and then maybe install Cyanogenmod or any other custom ROM.
Device Details:
Baseband - NC1
Build No. - NC1
Android Version - 4.4.2
I tried to root NC1 directly using motochopper. Then I read and I am now trying to downgrade.
I have got ODIN 3.09 but it does not say support to I337. I have gone through Noob Helper
I have downloaded all zips from Downgrade
After reading the article of Modems; I got confused about my bootloader.
I also have gone through the thread but after that confusion, I did not proceed ahead.
Could anyone please help me?
How to identify boot-loader?
Which ODIN to use or do I need to use SAFETRAP (not sure if bootloader is MF3) ?

Dont worry about Odin saying the device is i9505 or so. The flash will work.
For samsung phones running full stock firmware, all the components have the same version. Since your build is NC1, your bootloader is also NC1.
You are in the right track. Follow the downgrade thread to partial downgrade to MK2. Then use saferoot to root. Then install safestrap v3.72. Then use the deadly venom kitkat magic tool to install any kitkat rom of your choice from this list (post 3).
You cannot install any AOSP based rom. So, no CM. Even google play edition roms dont work.
You can install AOSP themed roms (like BlackBox3.0)

Thank you for the response. I have downgraded to MK2 and have done the root.
I was wondering if you could tell me if it is possible to install Liquid Smooth ROM. I have seen the video and I have downloaded from here which says S4 unified. Also, there are some videos claiming CM on S4.
Could anyone please help on the same?

As already stated, no AOSP based roms will work (ROMs that are built by compiling AOSP code). Only TouchWiz based roms will work. If you need AOSP look and feel, you can install an AOSP themed rom.
CM/AOSP on ATT S4 is only possible if you have the MDB/MDL bootloader. Anything above that, it wont work.

Sorry for the repeated questions.
I tried to update through Safestrap with BlackBox. But I got stuck on the boot screen where it shows Samsung Logo. I might have done something wrong. I just clicked next on BlackBox 3.0. Could anyone please help me !
Edit:
When I tried to reboot into recovery mood (Vol Up + Home + Power) it says:
" Secure Fail Kernel
(Warning Sign) System Software not authorised by ATT has been found on your phone"
Don't select the reboot now option in the aroma installer at the end. Then, after the ROM flash is complete and before you reboot the phone, you need to put the phone back in download mode and flash the MLD ap/bl/cp files from the tool

Get into stock recovery and factory reset. I am not sure why you flashed NB1 though, as there is no direct root method for it yet

He probably was following the steps that were provided elsewhere here that had you go from nc1 to nb1 then back to the M (I can't remember which M) one.

I had rooted MK2 and the installed the custom ROM (Blackbox) and then was suppose to flash NB1.
So, if I just did a factory reset it would solve my error?
Thanks for the help!
Edit:
I tried doing the factory reset. It just wipes all the user data. And I am still stuck on the same screen with Samsung and the custom logo.

Please read this port and resolve my issue as I need some expert opinion !!!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with no logo and carrier boot animation
I wanted to root my phone and for that I needed to know what model I am using, so by checking in the about device options it says the following (Screen Shot Attached):
Model number: GT-I9505
Android version: 4.3
Baseband verson: I9505ZHUEMJ6
Kenel version: 3.4.0-1921628 [email protected] #1 Sat Nov 16 14:33:13 KST 2013
Build number:JSS15J.I9505ZHUEMJ6
CPU-Z says its GT-i9505 (Screen Shot attached)
I tried rooting it by using Odin and got failed and I realized in the Download Mode that my Model name is SGH-i337
Some how I managed to get it rooted using this method http://www.onlineunlocks.com/blog/root-knox-disable/ and installed SU in my phone but my phone's recovery is corrupt as I tried to flash CWM recovery using Rom Manager.
I have installed SafeStrap recovery but have not tried any other ROM yet.
Terminal Emulator says my bootloader version : I337UCUFNB1 (Screen Shot Attached)
I search a lot to get back to the same ROM but I couldn't find any.
there are so many variants of Galaxy S4 and I have no clue which ROM is suitable for my Model.
There are few Questions which for which I need the answers if you guys could Help:
How can I get back to the Stock version I mean which Package to flash through Odin? any links?
Can I use this package http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297033 to get full CWM recovery and root, will it work for me? I really want to flash this !!!
I really want CWM recovery
I am attaching few screen shot which may explain my phone's configuration
Thanks in Advance
There's an i9505 forum which would better suit you

Well this looks confusing. Looks to me like either you actually have a
I337 ATT branded phone due to the bootloader and someone flashed a i9505 ROM and modem. The weird part is the modem (baseband) as it states it is from a i9505.
Or you have a i9505 that someone SOMEHOW flashed the i337 bootloader.
My best guess is that you have a i337 and it is actually running the i337 nb1 firmware. And someone mistakenly flashed a i9505 modem (which may actually flash, but data or wifi probably wouldn't work). I would suggest checking out which Roms you can flash with safestrap recovery then also flash one of the ATT I337 modems in my thread via safestrap recovery.
If above works for you I would then suggest looking for the NB1 or NC1 unbrick method and flash with Odin. You might as well update the bootloader to NC1 then flash safestrap if you want to flash custom Roms. Check out the safestrap threads and info of Roms in their OP for more details on how to flash. I do not use safestrap recovery, so find info from others that do.
Here is a NB1 thread to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223
I really appreciate your response. I will try few Roms as I get time and files downloaded. I am from Pakistan and at&t doesn't work here. My phone's Wi-Fi is all okay. However I can't use wifi tethering. And just as you said, I don't wanna use this safestrap recovery also. I really want that cwm recovery as it's less hectic. And just in case if my model is actually i337 so any NB1 firmware will work on it? I have lots of confusion because I am not sure what will happen if I flash a particular Rom. Whenever I try to get into recovery using Volume up+home+power key. Odin mode turn on and then I have to flash i337 .tar file to get it on. Safestrap has given me some support as I can make a backup at least. But still lot's of confusions. Can anyone give me more suggestions or safe mathods to apply?
you can't use clockwork recovery on your build and no aosp roms--sorry
Okay. Can I flash stock Roms using Odin? And which one please let me know?
You can't flash roms with Odin. Read up in General in All Things MK2 and ATT thread and Hashcodes SafeStrap thread in Development.
Thank you, let me read that thead. But how can I un-root my device and get back to stock ? Now I am nervous

The link you posted and asked if you could use-----look at its date--early/mid 2013. Your build is way past that. I know it is a lot of research. But, only way to keep your phone usable. I don't even need SafeStrap, but have read enough about it to be fairly comfortable. Did it to try and help folks.
A quick FYI. You need SafeStrap because any build post MDL has no way of bypassing Sammy's security check of kernel during reboot. MDL and below can use Loki-Doki an exploit that bypasses the check. So you can't flash aosp and custom kernels/recoveries. There are a couple exceptions on aosp. But, nothing to get into until you get more experience.
It just takes some time, especially with SafeStrap. You need correct version and know where to flash roms to. The ATT/MK2 thread has a lot of info on how to root and get SafeStrap on your phone. Esp post 5.
But, you can get back to stock NB1 from Rock's link and the tar posted there.

There is no bootloader unlock and I seriously doubt there ever will be. Safestrap is the recovery you can use.
