I am rooted with towelroot and have SuperSu on my I337UCUFNC1. Have tried to get Rom Manager to install CWM but it keeps booting into Stock Samsung Recovery 3e. So what do I need to do to get CWM Touch??? Thanks Guys
You can't get cwm...You have to use safestrap, just search in here for the safestrap thread and you'll find a link for the apk...It works great, but you need a safestrap compatible Rom for safestrap to work no custom kernels for you(actually many of us). Thank Samsung for not unlocking the bootloader.
Good luck!

Hello all. I am new to this site but I enjoy it a lot and I learned a lot as well from the threads. I got AIO wireless service that has the I337 model galaxy s4. I successfully rooted my phone with Kingo root. After rooting my phone I tried to install a customer recovery on it with no success no matter what I did ( I tried every imaginable scenario). In the process of rooting my phone my kernel got damaged and my Wi-Fi stopped working. I am trying to re flash the phone with custom multi carrier rom but I think that my boot loader is locked and that is the reason I can’t install the recovery. If anyone can guide me in the right direction where I can unlock the boot loader would be amazing. Thank you all in advance
1. This section isn't for AIO wireless but I don't know if there is a section for it.
2. There is currently no way to unlock the boot loader.
3. If you want to restore it back to stock read about it in my signature.

This section is for all I337 variants. He has a different model than the AT&T I337, so that restore tar in your signature won't work and the bootloader may be unlocked for him depending on his carrier's choice.
EDIT: Here is the I337Z stock firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448794
It says they did not get a recovery working, you may be stuck to Safestrap 3.65

4tele, I assume you used the AT&T Safestrap? I was not able to get AT&T Safestrap 3.65, 3.71, or 3.72 to work on my I337Z from Cricket (AIO) with KitKat 4.4.2, build number KOT49H.I337ZTUUBNE2. The app says it installed successfully, but it never seems to activate. Are you on KitKat? If so, what build number?
Anyone know if it's possible to flash the AT&T I337 MF3 firmware on the I337Z then try to unlock the bootloader using the process described below? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577
I used the AT&T safestap 3.65 but my phone was on MH1 firmware 4.2.2 and it worked, if you are on kitkat probably need to use the latest safestap I guess
guys check this out , maybe one developer decides to take advantage of this and help us out http://www.droid-life.com/2014/08/07/moto-x-bootloader-unlock-qualcomm/
Hello,
I am new to the S4 and would like to know what roms are safe to flash on MF3? I have it rooted with twrp installed ready to go but not sure on what roms can be flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can flash TW based roms with safe strap on MF3.
What twrp are you talking about?
Only recovery that you can use afaik is safestrap--although it is loosely based on twrp.
If you flashed twrp from goo mgr you may not really have it--
Just saying for FYI and your protection--I do not need it so not up on the latest--but still
also if you haven't there are several threads on safestrap and mf3 that will answer all your questions--
good luck
Thanks!
And do not try to flash twrp on mf3 as stated above you must use safe strap. Trying to flash other recoveries will brick u
Okay, so I'm almost positive there is probably a thread for this, but I'm having trouble finding exactly what I'm looking for and very new to doing all of this on my own. I usually have a buddy help me out (aka he does it all).
I am running 4.4.2 Kit Kat on NC1 and I was finally able to root my device using TowelRoot. I've been trying for days now to install ClockworkMod custom recovery, but to no avail. Odin has failed, the command prompt method has failed, and Rom Manager app has failed. Is there just no compatible builds for any of this? I'm not entirely sure how this all works or why any of it is failing. What can I do to install CWM or TWRP and get CM11 back on? I need all kinds of explanation, so don't skimp on the details! Thanks guys!
You can't install clockwork. You have to use safestrap. Read the all things mk2, nc1 thread. It will tell you just about everything you need to know. Is an awesome thread and how I learned everything about this phone.

Awesome! That's exactly the direction I'm looking for! Thank you so much.
No problem at all. We've all needed help on here from time to time. Good luck.
Great advice above. To add to it you will NOT be able to use CM11 on your device at this time or probably ever. Also you will NOT be able to ever flash CWM or TWRP recoveries.
You can ONLY use safestrap recovery which ONLY allows flashing Touchwiz based Roms.
You can ONLY flash Touchwiz based Roms because with Safestrap it will NOT flash any custom kernels. A custom Kernel is need to flash CM11, AOKP, and other AOSP Based roms.
You also CANNOT downgrade your bootloader as it is locked down hard. The locked down boot loader is why all above cannot work for your device. ONLY the original phones that came with MDB or MDL firmwares were able to use the Loki Bootloader Bypass, which allowed for flashing CWM or TWRP recoveries and then allow ANYTHING like any custom Roms (also based or Touchwiz based), flash custom kernels, flash anything. But any phone updated to the MF3 firmware or newer the boot loader was locked down too much to do much.

Galaxy s4 at&t running 4.4.2 nc1 build
Can someone give me a link to proper safestrap version I need to install?
I've installed towelroot and su then confirmed successful root using terminal. I tried to install safestrap 3.73 but it says it installs but never changes its status to confirm recovery was installed. What is the proper safestrap version for build nc1? Thanks

The correct version is 3.72. You also need to set selinux mode to permissive using selinuxmodechanger app before installing the recovery
Please be careful and install the correct safestrap version. You can brick your device. Here is the link to the forum. Another piece of advice is read, read, and read some more. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254

Your baseband is OC3 so you have OC3 modem. What is your bootloader?
If you bootloader is newer than MDB or MDL you can not install the custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. You are limited to Safestrap or Flashfire for flashing the custom rom.

You have a locked bootloader so you option to install the custom rom is limited to using either safestrap or flashfire.
This guide explain how to install custom using safestrap.
This guide explain updating, rooting and using safestrap. It is also useful if you screwed up and bricked your phone while flashing or tweaking.
Flashfire is newer thing and there is no separate guide written for how to use it but you can find the flashfire instructions in the custom rom that is written as flashfire friendly.

My first reference explains all the steps starting from the Kitkat NB1.
Since you'd already have OC3 and rooted you need to follow the step #4 Install your CUSTOM Lollipop ROM . step 4.1 explains how to install safestrap. 4.2 explains how to invoke safestrap and 4.3 explains how to install the custom rom.
I did not see OC3 to NJ4 that you were referring to though.
This thread is for installing S6 port using either safestrap or flashfire. I am just showing you as an example how to install the custom rom.

I recommend you to do all process from NB1 to OC4/OK2 keep root (Avaliable on the INDEX) bcuz I was lazy and used kingroot to root OC4 and when I finally was into safestrap it doesn't flashed any ROM and was just a waste of time.

Proceed at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device
First we must put all the archives we will need on the SD card (Stock rooted OC4, the Custom ROM we want, OC4 modules, OC4 kernel and all we gonna need)
Make sure to read this complete, understand it and then proceed
1. I used Odin to flash back to NB1 (the rootable one)
2. Rooted with TowelRoot and installed SuperSU and FlashFire directly from PlayStore (worked for me).
3. Opened Flashfire, granted root permissions and did the Muniz_ri Keep Root Method (4.4.x to OK2) but instead of using OK2 replaced all OK2's with OC4 files because I couldn't find the OK2 modules and will be needed to flash custom ROM.
4. At this point we have OC4 rooted so we just install BusyBox (install the 'things'), then install Safestrap and inside the app install the recovery and at last install the NC1 app flasher.
5. We will automatically reboot into Safestrap recovery and there we just have to wipe (all except SD card) then we proceed to install the ROM (if the ROM has aroma installer at the end we don't reboot into system we have to go back to recovery), after modules and at last we flash (install) the Kernel (we re using OC4 base so modules and Kernel must be OC4 too).
6. From here we just have to wait, and the Safestrap robot will appear like 4 times, we just press continue and deodexed custom ROMs will take about 15-20 minutes to do the first boot.
