Last time I checked, aosp Roms don't work with the i337 because of the locked boot loader. And last time I checked we don't have a root method (this could have very well changed, I was off for a month or two) for NB1 4.4. If you were to do a work around you may be able to get black box working but I'm not sure.

You can get BlackBox 3.0 to work.
Follow Deadly Venom KitKat Magic Tool (DVKMT) thread to partial downgrade to MK2. Root using saferoot. Follow DVKMT to install BlackBox3.0. More in All things AT&T MK2 and NB1
Note: With BB3.0, gmail and camera will FC. To solve this, uninstall them using titanium backup and install the latest from play store.
There are other ROMs that have AOSP options.
1. FoxHound v4.6.1
2. GoldenEye v29 with Domination v2.1 theme
3. ChaosRom v2.5.2

[Q] How to root 4.2.2 AMF3

Hi im new to the ATT galaxy s4 world and my friend wanted me to root his phone for him and install kit kat, but i have a tmobile s4 and mine was extremely easier to root and mess with without any problems. But i really dont want to screw over his phone because i dont really understand the what Loki kernal or patches are and i guess i need to do them to flash roms? Could someone help me step by step on achieving root and custom recovery?
First things first. What firmware is the phone on? That will determine how your going to root and if u have to use safestrap because the bootloaders locked on the latest ota

Uggh. Unfortunately your bootloader is locked. Your going to have to use the safestrap method and I havent looked into it bcuz I rooted before mf3 came out. The roms you can flash is also limited.. ill grab you a few links to get you on track

[Q] AT&T Galaxy S4 4.3 Build Ending with MK2

Hi there,
Sorry, I am new to XDA.
Is there a root available for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 i337 which have been upgraded to 4.3 OTA. The build number ends with MK2 ?
I have looked at other threads but can't seem to find one of those straight forward tutorials for 4.3
Can anyone guide me in the right direction. Thanks.

somone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i dont think there is a safe way to do it right now. There is only vroot kingo, which are both unsafe as one pulls your binaries from your computer and the other pulls your IMEI and sends it to the china server.

Yes there is. I just Rooted mine yesterday. Go to kingoapp.com and download ver. 1.1.5.1792. I had to run through it twice, but now I can utilize the apps I couldn't before, like SuperUser & AdBlock.

Isn't that the same as the Chinese vroot, but in English? Idk if I trust a commercial rooting program.

Mal-Ware exists on vRoot, not KingoApp. It's clean and I have root.
So if i root with kingo will i be able to flash a rom? or does at&t have a locked bootloader?

Please follow this link. Kingo, vroot etc. aren't worth the worry. This method is fast and efficient. Anyone who tells you root isn't worth it doesn't know what they are talking about. At the very least you can delete the bloatware!

You just flash the MDL modem via odin or Safestrap? Is this ok to do over MK2?

Sadly MDB to MDL didn't work for me.
Flashed MDL on mk2 and GPS is back.

Is it safe to upgrade S4 to latest and greatest?

As the title suggests, is it safe to upgrade my rooted S4 from CM10, to say CM11 AND upgrade the baseband and bootloader and all other firmware to NAE (or whatever the latest is)?
Edit: In short I am trying to get off of MJA because of the deep sleep issue that drains my battery.
If you want TW interface upgrade to the mk2 4.3 jelly bean or to nae 4.4 kitkat.

Excuse the noob question, but will i Need to install a TW ROM that has that baked in? Or is there a place to get the bootloader? I see a Spring S4 firmware thread, but no bootloader for MK2 or NAE.
Thanks in advance.
You will have to odin the NAE tar file, then reroot your phone, install custom recovery, and then install cm11 or whatever rom you want. This will bring your phone up to the latest firmware and will hopefully solve your deep sleep issue.
Contact this guy and just flash the modem and bootloader via Odin. The download links containing the bootloader too are not on the page but it mentions that he will provide you with them if requested.

And yes, then you can just go ahead and flash CM11. It's what I'm running on mine. Works very well, no complaints.

Since you are not on sprint right now idk how you would get data to work. When on sprint and flash a T-Mobile ROM, to get data to work, you must backup and restore APNs.
