Hello, I was wondering if anyone else encountered an issue after installing the 4.4 leak. The install of the ROM and firmware go fine, however, once the phone boots for the first time it will just randomly restart. I can never get it to replicate doing the same steps. It can do it before I even do the initial setup, after the setup when doing basic tasks, or can restart back to back for a while.
I am using the Deodexed version and have even tried to Odin back to stock 4.3, get root, install safestrap and try again fresh.
The one thing I did notice, is after I install the ROM I get the "Custom" padlock on the Note 3 splash screen, I didn't see that in the video I watched.
Is my phone just messed up? Or is there something I am missing?
I have tried removing my SIM and SD card with no luck. I am back on 4.3 right now but would love to be on 4.4. I do not experience the restarts on 4.3.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Which safestrap do you have installed?

I think you need the 3.7x version for kk but double check the directions thread.

I believe, 3.72 is for KK after installation. I will try 3.71 prior and see if that makes a difference.
I will post back with results!
Thanks!

Don't install 3.7 until AFTER you install kk.
It seemed to go better. After the installation of the ROM and firmware the phone was working fine for about thirty minutes. I just let it sit idle with, then I got a phone call and it rebooted a few min into it. Now it's back to restarting every 3-5 min regardless of what it's doing. Running apps or sitting idle. I'm at a loss =/
I did have them after a dirty flash and decided to clean flash and never had a reboot since

I'm doing clean installs. I just don't think my phone can handle KK.
Guess I will just stick to 4.3.
I would try a fresh download too. Seems like isolated problems like this can often be a corrupt download

I tried re downloading the ROM, the odexed verison, the firmware, Odin, Safestrap. No success.
I will just hang out on 4.3 and watch with envy as everyone else is on 4.4.

I actually unrooted and did a factory reset a couple weeks ago cause of some memory problems I was having. I say go for it. Worse case you just waste time going back and forth. Whatever works for you man, not everyone likes the updates.

No need to start over, you can download the latest MF9 fully stock firmware/rom using the below link. The link was just recently updated with the MF9 version. I have used the previous MDC and MDL downloads without any problems to get back to fully stock un-rooted rom. Very useful resource since no need to download/install updates separately.

I'm really still a noob but I'm sure the answer is no. There are videos around here using the stock firmware downloads that shows that an app called Triangle Away would still be needed to reset counter. BTW - another link regarding stock firmware resources.

Ya. On the S3 there was a file to flash that would reset back to stock and reset the flash counter, we need that. Triangle away doesnt work on MF9 yet so it kind of a pain to actually reset back to complete stock. You have to flash back to MDC or MDL rooted and reset the flash count then unroot.
So I could not get the phone to root (super user binary issue) and I installed that SetUID kernal and now my phone will not boot. Can someone please guide me to a fix. Thanks
Set uid kernel? What are you talking about? The sprint gs4 doesn't gave a kernel like that.

Crap I just realized that it is a T-mobile thing. Am I completely screwed now?...should have following my rule and read twice downloaded once.
If you did flash a kernel with that name, it would explain your boot problems.
Flash one for the Sprint S4 and all will be good.

Any of the appropriate kernels from the original development section will get you up and running. You'll just have to pick one for whatever rom you were one (4.3, 4.4, tw, aosp, etc)

Ok so found out that I can get into recov with power plugged in. So battery is low. But now did fact reset and still galaxy screen the now just blue led black screen
ok so I am back running. installed mk2_stock02 from Dev page. Was able to get CWM booting and loaded the ROM from there. My next question, probably has been answered but this is where my problem started before. When I go to open the SuperSU I get an error saying there is no SU Binary installed....and then closes.

Hi, I'm probably being very idiotic atm but I can't think of any logical issues.
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S4 i337.. I downgraded from NB1 to MK2, got root, installed safestrap, and attempted to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474
It was my understanding this came with Loki-Doki (saw it floating around in a different thread asking if it worked, can find it if nessecary) as a patch. So I downloaded and backed up my stock install, and attempted to install this.
Now the problem is when I boot, it returns me to a bootloop, if you could call that progress.. It vibrates occasionally while bootlooping (samsung - safeboot - blackscreen - vibrate - samsung....). I still have access to safestrap, download mode and so on, if it helps at all. I've also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495 WITH loki-doki (as it is explicitly stated) to no success either..
I'm looking for one of two solutions;
how to get stock firmware back, or how to properly install this? Or any variation thereof. . . I don't know what the problem is ahaha
Bumping to say multiple wipes>reflashes later the blue screen has yet to occur, not sure what that was... Bootlooping is the huge problem now!

Guh. Well ****. They should make that more obvious in the OP.. saw no mention of either of those being an issue..
Any similar roms that still have TouchWiz or should I just roll back to OTA 4.4.2?

Not until the bootloader is unlocked. There is no telling when that will be.

Best bet is to find a ROM that you like, then install the Google Experience Launcher apk. It will give your phone the stock google launcher.

Domination Theme will also extensively theme your touchwiz rom to give it a more complete AOSP look without an AOSP rom.
All right thanks for the help guys.
I've hard bricked this thing once trying to flash a rom once. Tried to gain custom recovery via AUTOREC. Should be called Autowreck.
Sometimes it is best just to ask to be pointed in the right direction.
I just learned about LOKI and SAFESTRAP. BUT are these just for TW based ROMS? I want a CM based ROM. PACROM, specifically. I see others with this AT&T phone running it.
Will someone please help a noob with a tutorial or advice and stop me from running in circles? W/ rooted 4.4.2, NC1 build.
Start with reading well the SafeStrap thread by Hashcode in Q&A
and the All Thinks ATT, MK2 in General
You can only use SafeStrap and can not flash non TW roms or custom recoveries/kernels, so CM AOSP etc
Sorry

Been reading the safe strap thread. 89 pages! Stumped on the first one. ENCRYPTED? Not sure. How do I tell? Nb1, Mk2, Mf3 software? No idea. Did not see it in settings> about device. How do I tell is the next step I guess.
On to check the All Thinks Mk2 thread. Sorry for my noobness.

Get a terminal emulator on your phone. In it type:

Nc1. So this is the SafeStrap file: JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk. How a bow the encryption determination? Sound like a bootloader if it is encrypted.

Did you get nb1 from your baseband? Is your device encrypted? That's different than than the bootloader. Your bootloader is definitely locked. But you can root by updating to nc1 and using towelroot and then safestrap.

Just as an FYI, I've had very good results with Golden Eye installed via SafeStrap. No problems with it, whatsoever, in my experience. That being said, I'm tired of being restricted to touchwiz ROMs so I've bought a T-Mobile S4 (unlocked SIM/Bootloader) and will be selling my ATT one soon.

Starting to feel the same way. Flashing this sgh-i337 is turning out to be quite an infuriating ordeal. So much conflicting info. Allllll these ROMs available for S4, it seems. But they don't work because this version isn't compatible. And the Tw ones I've tried ALL DAY are not working either. Granted, I was not using SS correctly initially, but now that they are successfully loading in the stock slot are not working. Graviton never boots, stays on the ouroboros snake screen. Imperium has no data or wifi etc (i9505 rom? I tried it as it said it was verified working 9th i337. Nope. Figured it was a problem when it said i9505 on my model). Goldeneye, actually can connect, wifi etc. But when I change settings in Wanam, it does not take them (after reboot). Had all the other connectivity issues until I flashed a patch. Also, I was pretty happy to see than I could activate hotspot. But my device was nowhere to be found by other devices. Modules, kernals, patches, oh my... out of all the tutorials for S4's on the wide wide world of internets, nothing seems to fly. This must be the red headed bastard child of Android.
I know it is all user error, but can nothing be simple?
Just want a simple rom and hotspot. That looks awesome. Hrm.
About to try this GE download. GE-XXUGNG4-37.zip. I tried the later NG-8-38 version last time. And yes, I did the ST update at&t module update previously.
Great googley moogley! I think he's finally got it, folks! Ooooh. Niiice. So smooth. Roomy!
