I Odin'd to NB1 and downgraded to MK2. This even downgraded my baseband to MK2. Is that supposed to happen? If not, then should I install MDL? Sorry if this has been posted somewhere.
The downgrade procedure was required because we didnt have root for KitKat. The latest NC1 is rootable with towelroot

Is my baseband supposed to downgrade with it? I think I read that it does keeps the baseband at NB1 when you odin back to MK2
It would downgrade the baseband but keep the bootloader
You can't go to MDL--

Use Odin and flash either the MK2 or NB1 update, and then follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680868 to get to rooted 4.4.

Thanks for the reply!
Where can I find the MK2 or NB1 Update? Is there one safer to update to than the other (as I see different instructions for each) ?
Thanks again!
MK2 is a little easier, since you won't have to downgrade. You can find links to both in the OP of the All things MK2 and NB1 thread under "return to stock".

MK2 is the last firmware version with an exploitable kernel that allows for a direct rooting method, e.g. saferoot. You can flash the MK2 Odin .tar in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+): http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358541050
From there you can obtain stock, rooted, NC1(latest 4.4.2 firmware) by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52167774&postcount=3
Helping out a friend with an S4 with on NB1. Phone has been sitting for a while. He wants me to set it up with a custom rom or at least root it. Have dabbled with the Verizon S4 but never with the AT&T version.
Can the bootloader be unlocked on NB1?
If not, an you go back to an older release to unlock the bootloader?
Is there a prefered root method for NB1?
Is there any benefit in staying with Nb1 vs taking the OTA?
Thanks

The bootloader stlll cannot be unlocked on ATT S4. We still have a working recovery "safestrap". Safestrap doesnt replace existing stock recovery but is available during normal boot mode through a splash screen on bootup. Use safestrap version 3.72 or 3.75 and flash into stock slot itself. In case of issues, the phone can be recovered by Odin flashing the full NB1 firmware.
NB1 is not rootable. The next version NC1 is rootable with "towelroot". The latest NI1 is not directly rootable but can be rooted by Odin flashing the NC1 kernel.
You can manually update to NC1 and root.
There are a large number of ROMS that can be flashed on I337 including google play edition ones. AOSP/AOKP roms dont work though.

So the easiest would be to Odin to a stock NC1 and you towelroot.
Any links to the stock NC1?
Thanks

We do not have odin file for both NC1 and NI1. There is an update file that can be used with "adb sideload" to update your phone. How to update to NC1 is there in the link I provided.

I tried towelroot to see if it works. It worked without a hitch. So I guesss the newest version works with NB1.
Thanks
Right now I am running a AT&T Galaxy S4 rooted with towel root 4.4.2, and I have to send in my phone for repair because the screen is messed up. I think it is running the NC1 bootloader, as under Setting->About Device-> Baseband version and it is i337UCUFNC1. I have looked over the ODIN back to stock guides and do not see a stock rom for the NC1. Was wondering if its alright to use the NB1 update or should I be looking for something else. The build number is KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1. Thank you for any help.

There is no full firmware for NC1. We only have an update over NB1.
You can safely flash NB1 using Odin.
Gotcha, thank you for the clarification .
So I can grab any NB1 stock file? Also is there any reason why not to grab the file from Sam Mobile?

Sammobile for some reason doesnt have the newer firmwares, has only MDB and MDL.

The recent updates are:
NJ4 -> NJ5 KitKat
OC3 -> OC4 Lollipop
So you got the KitKat update since you had NJ4.
Download the original OC3 update, install it, and then try the OTA update again to get OC4.
For reference, see this.
Took phone to Samsung at Best Buy and they flashed OC3 in phone for me for Free. AT&T store cold do nothing.
Need root help
I have a new unlock ATT Galaxy S 4 And would like to root it. ( don't care about warranty) I want to get rid of the "caned apps". Stock rom is fine just need an easy method.
Samsung SGH-I337ZKAATT, KitKat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0-505595, build number KOT49H.I337UCUFNB1
I hope this is enough information​
on NB1, you should be able to root with TowelRoot. See Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Safestrap Guide post #2, section 2 HOW TO GET TO ANY KITKAT 4.4.2 (NB1, NC1, NI1) OR 4.4.4 (NJ4, NJ5) BASE, Step 3 Root and Install Safestrap. Everything you need is there. Essentially, flash NC1 kernel, root, flash NB1 kernel. Follow the directions.

If I use TowerRoot Do I still have to use Odin?

Yes. You use Odin to flash the NC1 kernel in order to root with TowelRoot, and then you use Odin to flash back the NB1 kernel so your NB1 system will boot. Please read the guide. The instructions are all there.
I found my easy method and rooted my Samsung SGH-I337ZKAATT, KitKat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0-505595, build number KOT49H.I337UCUFNB1 phone. You can search web for " Root I337UCUFNB1 AT&T Galaxy S4 4.4.2 KitKat Firmware Without Tripping KNOX counter". Afterwards I installed Titanium Backup just to see if it would work and it did. ( I got SuperSU .apk from it's website not the play store and ran it from my SD card.)
