so im not sure if people will tolerate this thread, if its against the rules feel free to report it/ban me /whatever.
i basically have a galaxy s4, sgh-i337, it has safestrap installed and im looking to install a custom rom.
anyway before i go through with it i have a few questions, i read a lot of the safestrap thread, and the mf3 threads, its just overwhelming, a lot of info in that thread and its very unclear/hard to locate anything im actually looking for, im hoping i can get a kind person thats willing to take 10 minutes of their time to answer a few question.
if you're gonna post to link me to a Q&A on safestrap and stuff like that please dont. ive read it. anyway, if you can/want to help just send me a pm on the board here. i could use a bit of advice.
if the thread isnt allowed feel free to ban me or whatever i guess.
1) Questions should be in the Q/A section.
2) I'd help but there's no questions in your post. You can PM or ask here.

hello everybody ..
i been following XDA-Developers for many many times . actually i learn everything for root and flash etc from XDA .. i'm using Overcome Kernel and rom .
My Advice To You before you even go for flash a kernel you must do 1 simple step to avoid bricking your tab cuz trust me i already bricked it many times
but after reading and learning i knew how to do all the steps for flashing a kernel or a rom and after all , trust me it is easy you only have to follow the developer steps
anyways
before you flash a new kernel you must go here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 )
you have to download the bootloader before flashing anything , read the topic and am sure you'll find your way to flash by this topic. any questions don't feel shy to ask i can guide you by my Experience
hope the topic was helpful for the new users
Yeah, just download bootloader checker to check if you bootloader is signed / locked before you update to another custom rom. Anyway, if it is locked, it does not permanent brick your tab. Just restore using odin pit file if anything happen while updating. However the danger to patch your bootloader MAY permanently bricked your tab. Brick means your tab no longer be able to patch but a need to change the motherboard is the only way to restore your tab.

Goto the development forum and read the "Stock Firmware Odin" thread.
Then, go to each of the AT&T S4 subforums and read the pinned (stickied) threads in each of them. Pay close attention to the information about T-Mobile ROMS. There should be links in there about threads that will help you understand flashing T-Mobile ROMs onto the I337.
Make sure to use the forum's "search" function for any specific topics you want to know about, but can't find through reading alone.
Good luck.
And give Kenny a break and post in the correct forum. Should be in q&a.

I have a very simple question about loki.
It is probably very easy to find the answer, but I am a busy college student and don't even have time to do a simple search. Please just answer the question, don't link me to another thread. (if the answer is a qualified 'no', then please explain)
Can I flash a rom from a different Galaxy S4 (Sprint, T-Mobile, or International), then flash loki, without running into any problems?
Dude, did you read the forum rules before signing up on xda? We're all busy.

Yes. Or NO. Depends on your phone. You will need to read the stickies and forums to GET the answers for your particular situation. Check out stuff about MDL. Check out stuff about MF3. Check out stuff about MJ9 if you took the newest OTA.

I should have specified, I'm sorry.
I never took an OTA past MDL, and I've been on a custom 4.3 rom since August. I recently switched to an AT&T 4.4 rom, but I'm wondering if I can switch to a non-AT&T 4.4 rom.

XDA Rule #1
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
If you don't have time to follow the rules, you don't have time to do anything to your phone.
OP, all users,
Being busy is not a reason to violate XDA posting rules. Use search before posting repeat questions. Thanks to all the users who did provide an answer. It is appreciated.
Can someone please show me how to unroot my sprint galaxy s4? when i first got it, it was on android 4.4. with touchwiz.
Wow if you spent more time searching and lest time yelling you might find your answer.
Also if you really did want a good answer you would give WAY more information as to 'how you rooted' your device to begin with and what it's current state is: What recovery if any, what ROM etc. Is it a standard SPH-L720 or is it the "T" version? etc....
Maybe this but only if you're on standard 720

Im sorry im kinda new here.. Well im using clock work mod recovery the not touchscreen one. I rooted it by using odin. Im currently on the newest cyanogen mod rom as of right now. My phone is a standard SPH-L720
Being a newb is okay.
Everyone was once.
But it's important to learn how to do things for yourself as much as possible and properly and politely ask for help if you need it after doing everything you could to find the answers.
Check out the link I posted above if you want to get to 4.4x stock.
Not a knock on you, but so many people come here and just expect 'support' for their mistakes. Not what this community is about.

[/COLOR]Since you rooted with Odin you have tripped Knox so if you're going to return the phone for some reason to Sprint they might give you problems.

I have tried towelroot ......says device not supported.
Tried kingo.....doesnt work either...
I don't really know what else to try.
I downloaded odin....but don't know how to use it.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

Check that thread, there are clear instructions to help you out. You will have to flash a different kernel before towelroot will work, but its pretty easy, just follow the instructions exactly.
