[Q] Noob Root/Rom Query

Hi All,
I'm a noob here so please be gentle!
I have bought a brand new Galaxy S4 (I9505 Baseband is I9505XXUBMEA)
I am looking to install the Google Play Edition ROM on my phone but so far have failed to root the device.
I am using a Macbook Air, so I am looking for methods using OSX. I have tried using motochopper but this failed, possibly because I have an updated firmware on the phone.
Any help, advice or links would be greatly appreciated (mostly as I can't stand touchwiz!)
I want to root, install CWM Recovery, and flash Google Play Edition. Sound deceptively simple!
Thanks
Noel

No, it's on Three Ireland, which I think is the International Version

Ohhh ok

S Note???

I wanted to know if there's a way to get S Note from the Galaxy Note working on the S4, I was able to use it when I had an S3.
Thanks

Find the app you used for the s3 and install it the worst thing that can happen is it doesnt work?

Already tried that, it didn't work, I'm guessing it was because the apk i tried was from JB 4.1.2 and I think I need a version for 4.2.2, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Try the one from the Note 3 then. I know its 4.3 but as previously mentioned, whats the worst that could happen. I have a few things working from the Note 3 on my 2 that seem to work great regardless of 4.1.2 framework.

How about sharing the apk then

Any ideas for the S-Pen? I don't know if there is a special software program out there to make it compatible with the s4. But had a nite one and so i miss the pen oart of the program. I got two brand new s-pens from att with the holders wish are exoensive and estimated it at $99.99 each so i really hate to waste them. I suppose i can hi to att and sell them back and use the credit towards something else. But if you know if there's a way to use them with the Galaxy S4 please don't hesitate to let me know . I woukd greatly appreciate any feedback you can give me!

[Q] Root method for NC1 update?

So before I go any further I would just like to quickly note that I have tried to do some research on this question before posting it and have came up empty handed.
Now for the question: My Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 updated to NC1 the night that the update was released and I was wondering how I could currently achieve root on NC1?
Specs:
Model: Samsung SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: I337UCUFNC1
Currently running 100% stock and would like root.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

The same way you root NB1. This has been asked, you proceed with the downgrade as normal. It may help to go to NB1 first and then MK2.

All noobs should take a look at the general forum before making questions other had made. There are several guides there that can help you.

I'm not exactly sure who you're calling a "noob", but if I would like to make a new thread that someone has already asked then I will damn sure do as I please. I appreciate your link in your first reply but the word noob isn't exactly a friendly one and some people take offense to it whether or not it is intended to do so.

At one point we all were and called ourselves like that. What bothers is that we see the same questions on new threads over and over. A forum was design to read and search. Once you don't find your answer you post a new thread. Some moderators will suggest the same to avoid clogged our forum. That's how we should treated and care for. I don't feel it's offensive and if it is apologize to those who feel that way.

I remember when I had my GS3 I had to flash stock 4.3 (which if I'm not mistaken still has a locked bootloader) and then I flashed a custom stock 4.1 rom and was able to flash the latest CM 11 plus a modem/bootloader combo zip from 4.3 and it worked fine. Is that even in the realm of possibilities with the GS4?

I had the GS3 also and it was great you could flash anything Ubuntu and more, but now AT&T tied our hands because the war it's having with Samsung we pay. Others phones like the HTC it's reported to be bootloader unlocked. You can flash cm 11 without any problem.

No it cannot be flashed. And what exact features are you talking about?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Looking for a theme or room that includes some of the new s5 apps. I've read through some posts that have ported apps, but most are not listed under the sprint s4.

Would I be better sticking with installing apps I can on my current nae rom or I believe the sacs rom was updated to 4.3 for the s4

Need the apk that only you can download!!!

I am in need of the apk of this app, but I dont own a galaxy s5 which is the only device that can download it. Is there any way that someone can download it for me and send it to me?
Thanks
M

From the looks of it it seems the reason only s5 owners can download it is because the s5 is the only device it is compatible with.

Am I the only one here to sideload an app that the dev said it wasn't compatible, but it worked just fine? I've done it many many times.
