I looked every were but no luck. I am sorry if this was asked already.
I know we can Root but is there a recovery yet? Thanks...
Can't use a custom recovery until the bootloader is somehow unlocked or safestrap is modified to work with the s5. So as of now, no.

I was looking at using this tutorial to root my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494
I went into my about phone, and saw in baseband version, i337ucuamf3 for the baseband version. mf3 is also in the build number. does this mean that I should not follow this tutorial then?
edit: If so, should I follow this tutorial?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577
Look at the second post in the guide. It links you to how to root if you have mf3. Read the whole first two posts as there's good info there.
Edit, yes

If you're not sure if you want to root it and why, I'd wait. If you mess something up there is not an odin flashable firmware that can recover your phone with.
To clarify, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577 will work just fine for your device. I did this with a new S4 that came with that version stock.

i was reading through the thread, and found the only real advantage to doing this right now is just to be able to freeze bloatware. there is no way to install custom roms yet then?

Not yet, but I think that there will be a way shortly after Kies releases the MF3 update. I'm not a developer but historically the developers are smart enough they always find a way.
Hello everyone
I am looking to root and install a custom ROM on my AT&T S4 SGH-i337 (MF3) phone. The whole process is confusing... I see one video saying this and another saying that. I finally found a site to root my phone but the loki recovery step says "loki aboot version does not match device" while using Terminal emulator. I wanted to install the FOXHOUND ROM or something similar. I just wish someone had ONE place to get the correct information for your specific phone.
The link below is where I found out how to root my S4.

If your phone came with MF3 already then I'm afraid you can't flash Custom Roms yet since the bootloader is locked my friend.

I would highly recommend you stop everything you're doing and put some time into reading up about MF3. You are likely to bork your phone if you continue. Cheers

As the others mentioned, you should read up more on MF3, and stop trying to do anything to it. MF3 is the firmware version AT&T pushed out after the Loki exploit was released, and with it they patched the exploit.
From this point, you have a couple options:
1. Root using this method, and then use Xposed mods to customize your stock rom.
2. Follow this thread closely, and wait for Hashcode to release a working version.
Oh, and get your information only from this site. Don't go to galaxys4root.

Thank you... My phone is already rooted so what should I do? Should I just leave it as is and wait for a fix for the recovery?

For now there's nothing you can do till someone unlocks the bootloader you can use the MOD WanamXposed.1.4.2 look it up in playstore make sure if you use it to install
first XposedInstaller_2.1.4 then WanamXposed.1.4.2 that's if your wanting to custimize the stock rom a bit, Read the instructions in playstore for WanamXposed.1.4.2

From what I see is you have 2 options.
Option 1: Keep your phone rooted and don't mess anything up. So you have to be very careful while rooted and not mess with the system files.
Option 2: Check this thread out as someone was able to reflash their galaxy s4 on mf3 at Best Buy' Samsung Kiosk:

Slightly offtopic but I notice Hascode is working on Verizon's S4. How will Hascode's version be compatible with AT&T? Is it mainly because both verizon & at&t have a similar locked bootloader?

At this point, there's no harm in installing the Xposed Framework, and using Wanam Xposed. There are a lot of cool tweaks in there, and the only requirement is root, which you already have.

In Hashcode's OP, he says that he is developing SafeStrap for "the locked versions of the Samsung Galaxy S4." I assume that means both Verizon and AT&T.
Pick up a s4 today that is on mf3. But i dont think it came shipped with mf3. I duno if this has been asked but can i downgrade it sense it wasnt shipped with mf3?
I'm currently running on 4.3 on my S4 and i'm having trouble finding a way to install CWM on my phone. I Downloaded ROM Manager and tried installing it through the app but when I boot into recovery mode, it just shows the regular recovery mode not CWM. So then I went to the official CWM website and downloaded the latest CWM but it comes as a .img and I don't know how to install that. Can somebody show me how to install it?

I'm not that dumb, I've tried that. I guess I should be more specific. every method I find i get an error or it doesn't work. So if you know how to that would be great
You really do need to search, its not that hard. CWM isn't available for your Galaxy S4, and probably never will be. They are working on bringing safestrap which allows some custom roms to be installed on your device.
Samsung and AT&T have really cracked down on rooting and custom recoveries. Those who got the S4 early on who didn't update are still able to flash roms through CWM.

Obviously you haven't. There is no custom recovery available for an AT&T S4 with a release later than MDL.
It's all over the forums. A simple search would have gotten you that, and in the process you may have learned the answer to your next question as well.
My Following question was answered below, it was about getting root on Stock Kitkat.

Use CF-Root for KK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46098951
or, like i did, use Odin to flash CWM (PhilZ) for KK and the SuperSU1.93 zip in Recovery.

So... Hello Xda, I pretty Much didnt post on my old account and at some point lost access to my email User. it was ages old.
I'm sitting here with my new Note 3, its an Snapdragon one, LTE, N9005, and i updated it manually to 4.4.2 using odin, and now i'm Freaking tired of touch****z (sorry. Don't mind the language.) and well, basically i don't get what to do, do i need to downgrade it? what do i need to install a recovery? how do i get root on stock? I hope that i don't seem rude, i just lost track, and i don't want to brick a seven hundred euro phone, understandable, so if somebody would help me out, I'd be super glad. and again thanks for a still awesome community XDA Members.

You can gain root by following the post above, take note that rooting might trigger your knox counter and void your warranty.
Since you've lost track search and read will be your best option.
So far so good.
Thanks for the Help guys, I managed to do all this and install Philz recovery, but other recoveries wont boot, when i tried to install CM11 through Philz i get Something about an kernel not enforcing, and nothing more but that looping over and over again. Is it even possible to install roms on it?
Any help would be super great

CM11 runs on JB bootloader, install a custom KK rom and you should be fine...

Are there any ASOP Roms on that out?
I Found out that Recoveries also changed, and install a CWM that works with 4.4. I'm pretty fine with it now!
Now i'll just be waiting for asop stuff like the rest of the note3 section. Thanks for the Help everybody!

More details. What did you do? Did you Odin something or try to install a custom recovery like twrp?
All is well. Flashed a RUU and it's back up and running.
No doghouse for me tonight
And yes I tried installing twrp, a little different than my M8 and M9 lol
Now I need to reroot and learn how to install a custom recovery on it before doing it again

We have a locked boot loader. All you can install is safestrap. And even safestrap doesn't work on lollipop. If you want safestrap you have to stay on 4.4.4 or lower.
Thanks, I plan on keeping her phone on 4.4.4 until I can root again
Right now she won't let me touch her phone lol
