1.POWER OFF YOUR PHONE AND GO TO DOWNLOAD/ODIN MODE ( VOLDOWN+HOME+POWER)
2.DOWNLOAD ODIN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2537619&d=1390629800) AND MAKE SURE U HAVE THE LATEST DRIVER INSTALL FROM SAMSUNG KIES

I need confirmation if the above instruction is correct to get the latest update for Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T i337 model?

You're currently on mdl firmware. This firmware allows you to put on a custom recovery and flash roms. Are you sure you want to update? You will no longer have the ability to put on a custom recovery.

Well not interested in custom recovery as long as I get the latest update that looks like offical Samsung Galaxy S4 updates for i337 model. Will I be getting latest update for future updates?

Yes to all your question.....i337MK2 tar md5 contain 4 seperated files ( first released ) follow the image guide where u have to place into ODIN SLOT ....the one that said combined ALL IN ONE ( newest released ) mean that u just flash into PDA ODIN SLOT ONLY.....just follow that guide on second post it would get u to latest ATT MK2 4.3 firmware. But like @jd1639 said with MDL firmware u can install anything even 4.4.2 rom and also there is alot of custom stock rom without ATT bloatware out there that u can install .....goodluck and PM me if u need more help. FYI if u got helped by someone please hit THANK button to show your appreciation ....:good::good:

I'll update my S4 to the latest update and you can send me yours. I'd kill for mdl firmware...

That is my another question regarding ATT bloatware? Will the combined TAR file contain the ATT bloatware?
Is there a way I can remove the ATT bloatware after I have upgraded the phone, as I find the ATT bloatware annoying

Yes it contains all the bloatware, another reason not to upgrade and flash custom roms.
Edit, it has not been mentioned yet but one you upgrade you can not go back to a previous firmware.

When I upgrade to MK2, does this mean I will need to perform factory reset and all my existing app will be gone or will the app remain on the phone even after the upgrade.
I will do the backup before the upgrade but at the moment when I connect the Phone to the PC, it would mot pick up so maybe I will need the latest software driver, is that correct? I have the same problem with Kies which does not recognise when phone is connected.
Any suggestion would be great.

When you Odin I believe you lose everything anyway.

Not always, most times a factory reset is needed to clear the phone of old apps and data. Root, is lost, but apps that require root can still be present which can become a problem when root is no longer available.

A friend of mine has a rooted MDL firmware s4 and wants a rooted stock version of the latest update. Can someone please provide a link to the latest flashable stock ROM for the att s4? Thanks.

Why doesn't your friend flash a custom rom instead

He wants a stock touchwiz ROM. If their is a custom ROM based on the latest firmware then by all means direct me to it and I'll flash that for him. Thanks.

He's on mdl which allows a custom recovery and easy flashing of roms. If he upgrades to mk2, the latest, he'll lose that ability. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47713264

Right, we have a custom recovery and an unlocked boot loader and I flashed an older build of that Google edition ROM, but he just really wants the ability to move his apps2sd. I didn't see a mention of the apps2sd feature in the change logs. Thanks for replying so quickly.

[Q] GS4 Custom Rom Question

Hey I just have a quick question here. Is there a way to get wifi to work on a custom rom on the ATT GS4 (MK2) because not matter what rom I flash on it the wifi always breaks but when I go back to stock it works just fine. I even tried flashing the modem file but to no avail. If I can't I can understand I was just wanting to know if there's a workaround to this. Thanks to anyone who helps .

You need to flash the MK2 modules. Do some more reading. The modules are in the Safestrap thread.

Well when I first tried to install a custom rom I used this website to flash the modules and that was when I realized my wifi wasn't working on it. I'll just read up some more I suppose. Thanks for the response .

T-Mo TouchWiz Stock flashed on AT&T S4?

I have an At&t S4, and I want to move it to T-Mobile, but I need the wifi calling. Can I find a rooted stock TW rom with WiFi-Calling and flash it on properly without a problem? Thanks!

What firmware are you running? There's a nice guide on running cross carrier ROMs in the general section, just need to know what build number you're on so you use the right recovery. But yeah, ROMs are cross compatible so you could head into the T-Mobile section and grab something.

Flash T-Mo Firmware on AT&T i337

Hello, I've installed tons of custom roms on quite a few different devices before, but this is the first one I've owned with a bootloader that can't be unlocked and I'm still kind of confused as to how all of these workarounds function and what ROMs they're compatible with. I've unlocked the phone and am using it on T-Mobile. It's currently on the MLD KitKat leaked version.
This is possibly wrong, but my understanding is that you are currently unable to install custom ROMs like CM and Omni on this device. So would it be possible to at least flash the stock T-Mobile ROM instead of AT&T? Right now, I have no access to hotspot, which is included in my plan, and I'd also like to use WiFi calling if possible. Has this been done before and is it possible on my firmware?
Thanks in advance for any help; it's greatly appreciated.

You can not flash their stock firmware. You can, however, use Safestrap to flash a ROM from their section, which as long as it is based from the stock firmware will have those features.

I have flashed HYPERDRIVE ROM with T-Mobile compatibility pack and works fine ! Even WiFi calling works!

Thanks, guys. I just got back from a trip and I'll be attempting this now.
Are there any AOSP-type ROMs that will work with this?

Also, if you havent done so, you might want to enable AWS for further compatibility. You will need to use the stock AT&T TW ROM in order to do so.

Do I need any sort of Loki kernel or can I just pick one and go with it? I'm looking at this rom right now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682842

Since you're using Safestrap, you can't flash a kernel anyways due to the locked bootloader. You should be able to go ahead and flash that.

[Q] Sprint Hotspot Mod on Sacs Custom Rom

I am currently running the SACS CUSTOM ROM 4.4.2 KIT KAT V.3 on my GS4 SPH-L720, and I am extremely satisfied with everything, besides one little thing. I tried installing the Sprint hotspot mod on it and it didn't do anything besides erase my status bar and a mass amount of other glitches. I assumed that when I ran the mod install, the SERVICES.jar that was overwritten contained all that information and that's why all the status bar disappeared and all those glitches occurred, however, I do not know how to combine (if you will [i'm a noob when it comes to android programming] ) the two services.jar files to maintain all the ROM's important info and still install the hotspot mod.
I am running on an NAE baseband.

I had some problems with wifi and found I was doing a few things wrong. Did you go from MF9 to MK2 and flash the modem then install the MK2 rom? Then do the same and flash NAE modem then install the stock rom. If your doing Sac's then just install the Sac's rom instead of the NAE. For the wifi I use this method still just because. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYTis-i7HA4 and it will show you how to do the .jar file by hand then you will know nothing else has been changed. From what happened to me and what people are asking I have found people are skipping steps or doing them wrong. Hope this Helps...

This is the only Hot Spot mod that works with the Sacs 3.0 rom.
You have to dig for it in the OP under older versions

I tried the mod posted above, but I had no luck. I dont even have the option for hotspot under settings. Is it because I have the 720T version? Or do I have to download some other app to make it work?

Need Stock NAE Services.jar and services.odex files
So I have been running this rom for a while and I did have some issues like screen locking up etc… but I re-installed and everything is working fine. Here is my problem… I can’t go back to stock. I get an Odin failure every time and the failure depends on which stock file I am trying to Odin either its a write error or its an Auth. failure. I had this issue once before and it had to do with services.odex and services.jar files. Only I can’t find either of those files that come from the stock build and I am not really sure they will fix my problem of returning to stock but I am so hoping it does. I know I was the idiot that didn’t do the nand back up I just forgot. Any ideas on obtaining the files above or another fix. I need to take the phone back and I am unable too.
