you could try an older version of kingo. 1.1.6 is what worked for me. I posted a link to my dropbox folder in the q & a thread where someone asked for it. I have heard vroot for other folks, but I never tried it.

if kingo dont wortk then try to use kitkat if it support on your phone. then you can easily root your phone. kitkat is must helpful apps.

KitKat can't be rooted, you have to install a rooted KK ROM through an already rooted device in SafeStrap then install the firmware with Odin.

4.3 built in is better then KK. Most of app are not compatible with KK like ISIS wallet, Tap to Pay

This is not 100% accurate. You flash a ROOTED kitkat in SafeStrap and then flash the proper kernels and such in Odin. You are not flashing the full firmware using Odin.

The file you are flashing is 76MB. No Note 3 firmware is 76MB. You are flashing a kernel, modem and bootloader that are not included with the SafeStrap flash.

First of all, thanks for reading this...
Here goes the story. I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 AT&T. Yesterday I updated to 4.4.2 OTA. The idea of flashing to google edition ROM came into my mind so I did some research. I found 4.4.2 with NB1 baseband cannot be rooted and it has to downgrade to 4.3 first. So I followed this link:
[NB1►DOWNGRADE★UPDATE◄MK2] ★ [NB1 FULL ODIN] ★ [100% SS ROOTED STOCK] ★ [Mar.23.2014]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545
to do so. Everything worked fine. I installed Safestrap-v3.71. Then, I downloaded GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 BY Danvdh from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495) and followed this link:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2014/01/...42-kitkat-danvdh-google-edition-custom-rom/2/
to install Danvdh GE 4.4.2. The post said it needs CWM however I was unable to install CWM on my phone so I assume Safestrap should work the same. I used Safestrap to install the zip and got a successful message.
HOWEVER, when I reboot the phone, it just keeps rebooting (i.e., power on, Samsung logo, black, vibrate and reboot again)!!
Please help!!
Oh, I did not flash Loki doki. Is that causing the problem???
I don't think that rom will work with ss. If you have an i337 I think you need a mdl firmware.
Edit, looking at the rom I know it won't work with ss.

Yes, safestrap. You can not install cwm on your device. You can only use ss and touch wiz based roms. You might have to Odin back to mk2 and start over

There is a guide below with all the answers you seek young Android flashing apprentice. Please slow down & read it thoroughly before flashing anything. Reading saves phones! If the method or rom you want isn't posted in the guide, it can't be done on your MK2 S4. All the roms that will work on MK2 firmware are listed as well as the way to flash the listed Kit Kat roms too. I recommend you try the At&t roms 1st instead of the international versions. Please thank the op in the threads that help you. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

You can't flash any AOSP roms with safestrap, only Touchwiz based ones. Your bootloader is locked so it's impossible for you to flash any vanilla android or google edition roms.
The "I337UCUFNB1 100% Stock Rooted ROM" is basically stock GS4 Touchwiz firmware that is rooted.
Ive been on the new update for a while and have had a few bugs ie, auto brightness, auto rotation, gear watch not function properly with phone and a few other small issues that ive troubleshot around on here even trying the samsung hub fix even with other roms such as baja and hyperdrive

Did you initially take the OTA and root or did you upgrade from MJE to 4.4.2 via a ROM flash and Odin?
If you rooted MJE and upgraded that way all you need to do is follow the instructions in the first link you posted then take the OTA.

Was it NC2 or NC4?
If it was NC2 and you just want stock NC4 (OTA) then just use the instructions in the first link you posted, that will bring you back to stock MJE, then just take the OTA. I would also follow these instructions to fully wipe your internal sdcard in SS before using Odin to go back to MJE.

If it was NC2 (check your build number in about phone and see if it ends in NC2) then use Odin to flash the full MJE tar file, root it with Towelroot, install SS (3.65) , SU and busybox (once you install the BB app open it and do the actuall install). Once that is all done I would suggest you install beans stock, root, deodex NC4 ROM and then wait for Baja 16.
Just follow the instructions in the second post for "Coming From NC2/MJE"

i root my gs4 with odin, everything went fine but I wanted to get my gs faster so i downloaded kernel for gs4 and flashed it. mistake here. i didnt check if it supports 4.4.4. it only support devices under 4.3 so.. no wifi. that was the problem i had other than that, all was good. than I downloaded some OTA file for my gs4 and when i tried to flash it with safestrap, it kept said fail. so i thought it's maybe because i already have OS installed... so i wiped system,data and i tried to flash that OTA file, fail again. now im screwd. there is no OS on my gs4. when i trun it on, it vibrates, than reboots and than goes into Odinmode and say something like "nornal boot not possible" in red.
so i spent couple days searching how to get my phone work again but everything i tried didnt work. and for galaxy s4 sgh i337 nj4 version 4.4.4 it even made me think it was made just for me.
i tried kies, failed it told me to do emergency recovery but my phone does not show on list.
can anyone please help me.. Im new to Samsung Galaxy..

You'll have to use the ODIN file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223
Flash that in ODIN, use the rootable version if you want to root it using towelroot.
Besides that, you can't flash any custom kernels on the S4 unless you're on the 4.2.2 MDL bootloader, and there's no way to get back to that from 4.4.

I recently "upgraded" to 5.0.1 from 4.4.4 google play edition (nb1) and i quickly regretted it! I used Muniz's method to upgrade and root but I forgot completely how much touchwiz SUCKS! it's so frustrating having so many limitations to what i can do to my s4.
I did plan on getting the S6 seeing as I'm up for my 2 year upgrade with ATT but after playing with touchwiz again I realized how much I loved my pure android experience and Xposed options. Does anyone have any recommendations on downgrading and go back to a pure android lollipop rom?
btw i'll probably just wait on the moto x 2015

Ok, so after trying to use this guide to downgrade my i337 to stock, I was met with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue screen". I am now using this guide to fix this issue. Currently, Samsung Kies is working and downloading the stock firmware for me. Lets hope this works. I will keep you guys updated.

NI2 is 4.4.4. Regardless, you need to go to NCG, 4.4.2 to get root. Odin the full stock NCG tar. Root with towelroot. Then download SuperSU from play store. Update the binaries and reboot. Download busybox from play store, then install. Install safestrap.

The NGC tar file is a little different. Other than that, they left out some of the details.
