[Q] How to flash CM11 on MDL S4? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey folks,
Got a MDL 4.2.2 ATT S4. How do I go about flashing latest CM11 ? Would I need safestrap recovery, or a specific kernel ?
TIA!

Look for CASUAL in the development forum. That'll root and put twrp on your phone. Then you can flash cm in the twrp recovery. You don't need or want safestrap.

Ok, so no update to TWRP is needed, and no specific kernel for CM11 ? Do I need to install a loki patch? or is CM11 already LOKI-ed?

I don't believe cm11 is loki'd. I'd flash the Loki doki zip after flashing cm. It won't hurt anything.

[Q] I need assistance please!

I want to update my i9505 to the latest android 4.3 through Odin but I don't want the new Knox bootloader, could someone please give me any instructions of how I could achieve this? I don't want to install the "custom" stock roms.
*EDIT*: Could someone also give me instructions on how to compile the edited firmware.
I tried to Google it but to no avail.
I shall be grateful to anyone who helps.

In order to remain on your old bootloader you will need to root. Any reason why you don't want to? Root, install a custom recovery then flash the pre rooted rom. They are stock based.

Thank you for your reply, I'm rooted with custom recovery. However I wish to create myself a Odin copy for emergency purposes, I currently have the official MGA firmware update for Odin. I want to create a Odin flash-able firmware update without the new bootloader,
EDIT: After going through the thread all the firmware files include the new know bootloader ;(
As far as I know you can't flash via odin. I suggest you flash the CWM version this has no bootloader. As your already rooted using the knox free cwm version is the safest bet at the moment.

No modem, you can install that separately via Odin as we can't flash modems using CWM. It contains stock rom and stock kernel.

I've decided to unroot, do i have to do that fix before i install a recovery (Cwm or Twrp)?
From my understanding you have to be rooted to place a recovery on your device (Cwm or Twrp)...

you unroot by flashing the stock Odin file, or using your root method to unroot.
there is no recovery available. safestrap is our wonderfully built recovery alternative due to a locked bootloader on the 900v. do not try and flash cwm or twrp.

The only custom recovery you can have on 4.4.2 is safestrap. You can't have twrp or cwm.

What firmware/bootloader version are you on? I337? Most likely you're on a version where twrp or cwm will not work. Only mdb and mdl bootloaders allow a custom recovery other than safestrap.

You're on nj4 firmware. Safestrap is the only recovery that'll work for you. See the general forum for help.

How Can I Install A Custom Recovery On OC3 5.0.1?

Now that Xposed is compatible with Samsung TW ROMS, I'd like to install Xposed on my S4 with 5.0.1 Lollipop and OC3. I need a custom recovery to install Xposed, so how can I do it?
I've searched and can't find anything. Right now I have just the stock android recovery.
You can't. The only custom recovery you can use is safestrap and afaik xposed won't flash in it.

Well, it looks like safestrap isn't compatible with oc3 yet so no custom recovery for you
