That's why you flash a stock rooted MF9 ROM if you want to be on the latest and rooted.

S4 rebooting as soon as I boot it!?
Hi!
So I followed Djembeys guide to root my s4 back when ME2/MF2(or smthn in that matter)was the newest firmware avable. But now I wanted to go back to stock and update my phone and as stated in the guide that would be no problem, well OTA didn't work so i did it via Kies. It worked as expected for a while before my phone started freezing and rebooting itself forever, like as soon as i get into the launcher.
Things I've tryed to do:
*Checking in download mode that everything is official, it is, and the phone doesn't seem to reboot while in download mode, should I flash a stock rom, I mean, what if the phone shuts off in the middle of the process?
*Doing a factory data reset via stock recovery, the "android" in recovery falls down and a triangle at his stomach. However the data reset worked, but it didn't solve the problem, still reboots but now when the phone is trying to set itself up.
What can i do guys? You think i can send it back to the store seeing everything is official in download mode?
I recently bricked my s3 trying to install a custom rom. This time around with my new G2 i am just going to root, so i need to know what the best root is right now and is there a possibility of bricking during root process? Also i am on the verizon VS980 with the JDQ39B build on 4.2.2. Thanks
There always is a slight Chance that something can go wrong. As long as you know what you are doing you should be fine. I also have the Verizon model and I rooted it and installed custom roms without any problems. Just make sure to backup

After rooting, install hashcode's SafeStrap (in android development section). Then you'll be able to install any TouchWiz based ROM (Verizon).

Use this link and it will tell you everything you need to know to root the verizon. and load custom roms. It is what i followed.
However if you have any troubles with kingo not rooting your phone, then try Kingo 1.1.6 version. Look at My sig down below at exactly what i did.
I'm looking to flash custom Recovery's and what not. I just got the phone 5/2/14. The SGH-I337 on AT&T. Got the phone with 4.4.2 kk. Updated when update was available. Wanted to know if I could use Odin to flash things like any other Samsung phone.

You can not flash a custom recovery. The bootloader is locked. If you want to flash custom roms look in the general forum. Look for " index all things mk2 nb1"

Start here and read it all about 6 times. Rooting and putting a rom on the i337 with mk2 or nb1 is not for the faint of heart. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49562527

I'm on the same situation, just got my phone from AT&T (SGH-i337) with 4.4.2, now on baseband NC1, I would like to root the phone and it seems the only way is downgrading to NB1 and then downgrade again to MK2.
But I'm not so sure if it's safe to flash the roms having a SIM lock on my phone, is it necessary to unlock it before trying to flash?
Another noob question, a locked bootloader means I can't get CWM, but can I still install custom roms installable through Odin?
Sorry, No custom ROM's for locked bootloaders.

Nope. The only way to get a custom ROM would be to use safestrap.

Sim Locking only restricts your phone to a particular carrier, it wouldn't interfere with a custom rom, as long as said rom was built for your carrier.

I recommend you better TWRP or Philz Recovery. Flashing custom recoveries don't wipe your device :highfive:
No. Flashing recoveries will not wipe your device., but it will trip knox to 0x1. This will void your warranty.
I also recommend TWRP. I couldn't flash CWM recovery. I did, but it just booted into the stock recovery instead of CWM. So I flashed TWRP.
Now that i rooted my phone, sometimes after im dome using it, when i hit the power button to off the sceeen, the phone randomly reboots. It Just straight away goes to the samsung spinning logo and then goes to the homescreen. But during the reboot it doesnt play the song and it doesnt go to the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. It's like its a quick reboot idk. This has happened three times now. Is there a way to fix this?

Is this happening because of something called knox? Also can you explain what will happen after i flash the latest firmware? Will i lose root?

Amazing!
Hi, I have the same problem.
I do a wipe reset and a root: root is not working.
I removing root and make some root tentatives:
In Windows (Odin): not working
In Linux (motoshopper): not working
I have the XXUGNG8 and I don't understand why since this update, I can't root again!
Do you have an idea please?
If your talking about the random reboots, it happened to me because i let supersu app disable knox. After that the random reboots started. I fixed that by unfreezing the apps through titanium backup. For me 2 apps called knox notification manager and migration agent were frozen so i unfroze them through titanium backup. Then the random reboots stopped
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
After that you have to remove all the knox files in your phone. Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514703
However, DO NOT delete a file called libknox_encryption.so otherwise your phone will not boot up.
