Right at this very moment, I don't have time to search much.
I have an AT&T SGH-I337. I successfully downgraded from NB1 to MK2, rooted, and installed SafeStrap. I had successfully booted to stock MK2 at this point.
I downloaded Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool. I used SS to wipe all except external sd. Stock rom is active. Then queued 4 zips to install -> GE-SAFESTRAP-XXUFNBH-26.zip, GE-SLiM-F4ST-ADV-KK-26.zip, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip, and AT&TNB1KernelModules.zip. I hit home -> reboot -> download. I used ODIN to flash AP, BL, and CP from Deadly Venom tool. I unchecked auto-reboot, flashed, hold power. Safestrap says 'Safestrap Disabled', then I get bootloop at the Samsung logo. Next I went back to download mode, tried to flash AP, BL, and CP again with auto-reboot enabled. Still stuck at Samsung logo.

GE-SLiM-F4ST-ADV-KK-26.zip? An add-on to Golden eye? If that's the case, try flashing it without that add-on.

I also have Goldeneye 4.4.2 but flashed it without any addons, as per Goldeneye, the ROM needs to be installed first and setup before adding addons. Did that.
Now the issue now is how to flash just the Addons, since SS is already disabled and also fails to backup the new ROM.
thank you.
You are on the NB1 bootloader correct?
If that is the case all you need to do in order to flash the add-on is Odin the ap_mk2_normal.tar, flash the add-on, and then Odin back the NB1 files AP, BL, and CP.
Still stuck at bootloop.
I booted to download, flashed ap_mk2_normal.tar.md5 with auto reboot. Then I booted to safestrap, wiped all except external SD, flashed GE-SAFESTRAP-XXUFNBH-26.zip, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip, and AT&TNB1KernelModules.zip in that order. Reboot back to download, flashed AP, BL, and CP from Deadly Venom tool with auto-reboot. Stuck again at Samsung logo.
Not sure if it's worth mentioning but I flashed the non-SafeStrap version of Goldeneye before now, realized my mistake, and started using the correct rom. Could it have flashed something that I need to revert?
Edit: I am current flashing the MK2 downgrade to try to boot so I can try to pick back up from a booting rom.
Edit2: Success! That must have been the problem.

I followed the instructions in the thread that describes how to update to NAE from MF9 while keeping the MF9 bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277480
I was on MF9 stock rooted (with TWRP recovery installed when I flashed the NAE modem via odin 3.0.7, not sure if that makes a difference).
All the steps seemed to go okay. As far as I can tell the versions look good. However, the device is super sluggish at times, especially the dialer. Sometimes I have trouble waking it. I can't toggle the WiFi on. I have not set the hotspot mod or sd card mod yet.
The device is essentially unusable. Every so often I will get a request to force close some app (like the dialer) because it is hanging.
I tried repeating the steps described in the thread above over and still get the same behavior. The second time I also did some more checking in the intermediary MK2 step after everything was set up and I did notice that sometimes it was doing the weird hanging problems there too (i.e. even before the NAE rom was installed).
I had no problems whatsoever with the device when it was on MF9.
Help! Any ideas??
Have you tried to install the nae modem. Its been observed that you need to install it in order to get full use of a NAE rom

Yes, that is the very first step in the instructions. For good measure I even went back and reinstalled the NAE modem (even though it appeared to be successful).
I am thinking maybe I should go back and try to install/downgrade back to the MF9 modem to see if that would help.
Update: Everything seems okay now. I went back and flashed the MK2 modem, then reinstalled the MK2 ROM, then the NAE modem, booted into MK2 to see that it was okay, then installed the NAE rom. So far so good :fingers-crossed:

You could flash a MF9 stock rooted zip. Or Odin MF9 tar.

I had the same exact problem and I found a way to fix that so I can run NAE.. I read someone post and I just did these step to have a perfect running NAE stock rom.
Steps How To Install NAE (Odex) properly with MF9 Bootloader
1. Back-up apps with Titanium Backup or MyBackup
2. Download the following tools and files to have on-hand
A. Odin 3.07
B. CF-Root
C. Philz Recovery [I used the latest one 6.41.6.tar.md5]
D. MF9.tar Official
E. MK2 Modem.tar (No Firmware)
F. Stock MK2 Odex ROM (No Bootloader)
G. NAE Modem.tar (No Firmeware)
H. Stock NAE.Odex Rom (No Bootloader)
I. SDCard Fix for NAE
J. Hotspot Mod NAE (Odex) [If you want Hotspot]
3. Put the following files on your External SDcard from Step 2 (E,G,H,I)
4. Start by opening up Odin 3.07, and flashing MF9.tar (Make sure everything is unchecked but Auto Reboot)
5. Once flashed let the phone boot up and skip all the steps of setting up your phone. Then check to see if your baseband and firmeware is on MF9. If thats all okay completely shut down your phone.
6. Go back to Download Mode and to Odin. Then flash CF-Root (Make sure everything is unchecked but Auto Reboot)
7. Once its booted shut down and back to Download Mode and to Odin then flash MK2 Modem.tar (Make Sure Everything Is Unchecked) Once that is done Hold the power button for 10 seconds.
8. Boot up and check your baseband and firmeware in About Phone. Once everything is okay shut down the phone.
9. Boot your phone into Philz Recovery Mode then find and Install Stock MK2 Rom
10. Boot up the phone and skip all the steps setting up your phone, Do the lockscreen fix shut down your phone.
11. Go back to Odin and Flash NAE.Modem tar file (Make sure everything is unchecked) Hold the power button for 10 seconds
12. Reboot into Philz Recovery Do the wipe to do a Clean Install of Rom
13. Install Stock NAE Rom then Boot Up
14. Shut down and go back to recovery and install the SDCard Fix and Hotspot then Reboot
Then you can get Triangle Away and wipe your counter clean.
This is what I did and it worked perfect several times without problems.
(Optional part if you want to reset custom ROM counter)
1. Odin flashed a full stock firmware (ROM and all) MF9 or below (I had MDL tar already so just used that)
2. CF-Root the installed rom.
3. Run Triangle Away to reset boot counter.
(Main part)
1. Odin flash TWRP recovery .tar and did a full wipe.
2. Odin flash Mf9 AIO .tar
3. Odin flash MK2 modem only .tar (NAE won't stick unless you do this first)
4. Odin flash NAE modem only .tar
5. Odin flash TWRP (You can use other recoveries for some other ROMS, but most NAE roms including Sacs Custom ROM and NAE stock rooted need TWRP to install properly or you get no cell. I haven't tried it on CWM, but know when I tried it wouldn't work on PhilZ Touch)
7. full data wipe using the recover for good measure (not necessary, it should be clear already)
6. Flash your ROM in recovery (I used stock rooted NAE)
8. Flash your add-ons, mobile hotspot, boot screen, kernel , etc. (I just flashed the odex mobile hotspot for NAE and a boot screen, left the kernel at stock because of a camera issue ktoonsez seemed to be presenting)
9. Reboot and enjoy.
(Note, only if using NAE stock rooted)
If your using the NAE stock rooted you will need and want to run and let the pre-installed supersu app disable Knox, then using an SE linux status changing app from the app store you will need to temporarily change your SE linux status. From there you can install the Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed. In Wanam Xposed you can set the SE linux status so it wont reactivate after a reboot. Now you can uninstall the SE linux switcher you downloaded before. Next you can download an app that will do it, or manually fix the SD card write permissions. Finally using a root exploring file manager you can fix the permissions to make the lock screen work.

Sometimes roms aren't packaged with root or it just doesn't work right. You'll have to flash the MK2 boot.img to mount the system partition and then flash a SuperSU zip. If you don't get an option to go into Safestrap, you'll have to ODIN the MK2 downgrade files and then start from there.

Hi. I have an MK2, rooted and SS installed. I had followed the steps from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45657764 Post#4.
I was able to install FoxHound with no issues, but had an issue with the APN so I had revert back to MK2 using the AP, BL and CP tars.
Wiped done, Installed SHOstock 4.4.2, flashed MLD modules and ODIN the AP, BL and CP tars. > no issues...
Then Phone booting up.
It seems that it is stock in the SHOstock logo. I had retried all the steps a couple of times and still has an issue.
what could be possibly wrong with the my phone or setup. SHOstock bootup logo even looks awesome.
Did I miss something or it just takes this long. How long will it take for the 1st setup boot?
Thank you.

ok. sorry about that. I should go back in that thread then.
thank you for the reminder.
OK, so I recently upgraded to a lollipop ROM on my locked bootloader ATT I337. To get into safestrap now, I have to use NC1 flasher to temporarily flash the NC1 kernel, and then boot into SS, then flash the OC3 kernel to get back. PITA, but it worked. So I tried restoring a backup, and when I rebooted it didn't work (black screen, kept getting FC's of every app, couldn't actually do anything). I rebooted 3 times, after which it seems to be working. Weird. However, if this happens again, how do I get back to safestrap so that I can wipe and reinstall the lollipop ROM? Can I just flash the NC1 kernel via Heimdall/ODIN? If so, which file is it? When I was looking, it seemed like I needed to start from scratch with a full KK flashable package, then upgrade, downgrade, etc, etc.

Yep, you can flash NC1 kernel in AP slot in ODIN. I'm not sure about Heimdall as I haven't used it.
NC1 kernel: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491965103
Thanks, hopefully won't have to try it
Just as a bit of an update. I did another safestrap restore, and again ended up booting into the same situation, with black screen, mult FC, etc. Figured out that to exit this, boot into the system bootloader, and from there choose "reboot". For whatever reason, it then boots normally.
Everytime I try to boot into system, it freezes and then restarts. I just flashed lollipop OC4 rom through FlashFire? Help please

Did you uninstall safestrap before you use flashfire?
Do you use the rooted lolli rom mentioned in the guide or the custom lolli rom. If you use custom lolli, is that rom mentioned that it is flashfire compatible?
I understand you are on NC1 bootloader so in order to OC4 working properly, OC4 bootloader need to be flashed via odin.
If you try everything and did not work, go back to NB1 and start from there. Use the NB1 firmware that I mentioned before.

So dude, when I went into download mode, everytime I tried to place that ALLAT&T file into the AP slot, it would cause Odin to freeze and not respond. Naturally, I got angry and decided to reboot into system and magically, I could use the OS again. Now I think I'm going to flash the bootloader like you said

I am sure you did extract the .md5 from the .rar. The latest odin is Version 3.10.7 but I am using version 3.10.6 for that .md5 and it went well too. Try with different odin then.

Wow, NC1 flasher is to use safestrap in lollipop. It only flash the NC1 kernel.
Are you in Kitkat or lollipop. If you were in your lollipop you need to update your lollipop bootloader.
As I said before, if your phone went to softbrick just flash the NB1 firmware via odin.
