Will I lose my unlock with Tmobile

Im at stock att 4.3 JB firmware with MK2 bootloader.
I wish to use safestrap to install a rom (maybe GE rom or just normal TW rom)
if after I install the loki modules and my rom boots will I lose my Tmobile unlocked status since this is an att phone.
also, do I have to odin flash a modem.bin for new 4.4.2 android version or can i just simply install a 4.4.2 rom and be good with current radio or modem?

Since your are on MK2, no more Loki.
You won't lose unlock status.
Search for the all things at&t thread, it has lot of required info.
All you need for the ROM to work with T-Mobile would be the correct APN settings.

Im so confused because safestrap forum says i need to retain to a MK2 based rom but in the Goldeneye thread it says added support for safestrap
also safestrap telling me to flash mk2 modules zip after every installation do I actually need to do this? im assuming your saying mk2 doesn't need loki kernel flashed ..
Also am i restricted to only TW roms i have the US i337 att phone

Let me clear some confusion of yours.
While on MK2, safestrap recovery can be used to flash 4.3 based ROMS.
We have Deadly Venom Kitakat tool that allows us to flash certain kitkat roms from the All Things ATT thread.
You will be able to flash the Golden Eye 33.3 safestrap edition. Follow the steps mentioned in the tool.

[Q] rooted safestrap mf3 to kitkat

I have searched the topic and only found this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717175
Can I go from MF3 Hyperdrive rom 4.2.2. to a 4.4.4 custom rom or 4.3.X custom rom?

I really don't see any advantage still being on MF3. As far as I see, your best bet is to Odin flash the towelrootable version of NB1, root using towelroot, put selinux in permissive mode, install safestrap 3.72 and install a KitKat ROM from the big list of Roms available.

never mind...

will this NC1 update already be rooted and have SS installed? Or is it a zip with those files included to utilize during the aforementioned update process?
Zip file containing the updated SuperSU, SELinux mode changer, SS 3.72, Towelroot, and NC1 kernel modules can be found here.

When towelroot was initially released, only NC1 was rootable. We do not have the full firmware for NC1 but we do have for NB1 and that could be updated to NC1 using the update zip.
We now have a odin flashable firmware based on NB1 that is rootable with towelroot. So, there is no real need to update to NC1.
When flashing roms with safestrap, you would have to flash a zip containing the wifi modules based on the kernel you are using. If you have the NB1 firmware, you flash the NB1 kernel modules.
NB1 kernel modules can be obtained from the Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic tool thread. Download the NB1 version, extract and you should see a "AT&TNB1KernelModules.zip" file.

Galaxy S4 4.4.2- Available Root Methods?

Need root help
I have a new unlock ATT Galaxy S 4 And would like to root it. ( don't care about warranty) I want to get rid of the "caned apps". Stock rom is fine just need an easy method.
Samsung SGH-I337ZKAATT, KitKat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0-505595, build number KOT49H.I337UCUFNB1
I hope this is enough information​

on NB1, you should be able to root with TowelRoot. See Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Safestrap Guide post #2, section 2 HOW TO GET TO ANY KITKAT 4.4.2 (NB1, NC1, NI1) OR 4.4.4 (NJ4, NJ5) BASE, Step 3 Root and Install Safestrap. Everything you need is there. Essentially, flash NC1 kernel, root, flash NB1 kernel. Follow the directions.

If I use TowerRoot Do I still have to use Odin?

Yes. You use Odin to flash the NC1 kernel in order to root with TowelRoot, and then you use Odin to flash back the NB1 kernel so your NB1 system will boot. Please read the guide. The instructions are all there.

I found my easy method and rooted my Samsung SGH-I337ZKAATT, KitKat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0-505595, build number KOT49H.I337UCUFNB1 phone. You can search web for " Root I337UCUFNB1 AT&T Galaxy S4 4.4.2 KitKat Firmware Without Tripping KNOX counter". Afterwards I installed Titanium Backup just to see if it would work and it did. ( I got SuperSU .apk from it's website not the play store and ran it from my SD card.)

OC4 brick need odin files help?

I managed to brick OC4 on AT&T S4 while trying to restore thru kies.
I can get into download mode. What can I flash to get back to a stock installation?
Thanks.

Follow this guide: [GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap
Basically, you will need to flash back to NB1 base, and then upgrade from there, depending on your intended target. There are a couple of other threads you might be interested in reading that are in the general forum.

Your baseband is OC3 so you have OC3 modem. What is your bootloader?
If you bootloader is newer than MDB or MDL you can not install the custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. You are limited to Safestrap or Flashfire for flashing the custom rom.

You have a locked bootloader so you option to install the custom rom is limited to using either safestrap or flashfire.
This guide explain how to install custom using safestrap.
This guide explain updating, rooting and using safestrap. It is also useful if you screwed up and bricked your phone while flashing or tweaking.
Flashfire is newer thing and there is no separate guide written for how to use it but you can find the flashfire instructions in the custom rom that is written as flashfire friendly.

My first reference explains all the steps starting from the Kitkat NB1.
Since you'd already have OC3 and rooted you need to follow the step #4 Install your CUSTOM Lollipop ROM . step 4.1 explains how to install safestrap. 4.2 explains how to invoke safestrap and 4.3 explains how to install the custom rom.
I did not see OC3 to NJ4 that you were referring to though.
This thread is for installing S6 port using either safestrap or flashfire. I am just showing you as an example how to install the custom rom.

I recommend you to do all process from NB1 to OC4/OK2 keep root (Avaliable on the INDEX) bcuz I was lazy and used kingroot to root OC4 and when I finally was into safestrap it doesn't flashed any ROM and was just a waste of time.

Proceed at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device
First we must put all the archives we will need on the SD card (Stock rooted OC4, the Custom ROM we want, OC4 modules, OC4 kernel and all we gonna need)
Make sure to read this complete, understand it and then proceed
1. I used Odin to flash back to NB1 (the rootable one)
2. Rooted with TowelRoot and installed SuperSU and FlashFire directly from PlayStore (worked for me).
3. Opened Flashfire, granted root permissions and did the Muniz_ri Keep Root Method (4.4.x to OK2) but instead of using OK2 replaced all OK2's with OC4 files because I couldn't find the OK2 modules and will be needed to flash custom ROM.
4. At this point we have OC4 rooted so we just install BusyBox (install the 'things'), then install Safestrap and inside the app install the recovery and at last install the NC1 app flasher.
5. We will automatically reboot into Safestrap recovery and there we just have to wipe (all except SD card) then we proceed to install the ROM (if the ROM has aroma installer at the end we don't reboot into system we have to go back to recovery), after modules and at last we flash (install) the Kernel (we re using OC4 base so modules and Kernel must be OC4 too).
6. From here we just have to wait, and the Safestrap robot will appear like 4 times, we just press continue and deodexed custom ROMs will take about 15-20 minutes to do the first boot.
