Is there any way to gain root for most recent att s4 update? Build number is KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
I've been asking the same question every since the update as well. I was hoping to install a Custom ROM on my phone, but I am playing it safe until it's been confirmed workable with the latest update. As a back up, I've seen people mention it's possible to rollback this update to NB1. I've had no luck so far pulling up a thread about rolling back updates, though...

Are you able to access your external SD? I too have the same Build and have lost access to my SD, can't root, or unlock, even using the Network Unlock code from AT&T. I've lost apps, it has slowed waaaaaaaaaaaay down, and the battery is not lasting, even with Powersave. I just got this phone and the guy I bought it from factory reset it. There was an update that accepted, but it stopped and said I had to restart the update for some reason. I did, but it is still 4.4.2, but now has a different Security Software Version, MDF v1.0 Release 2. It won't accept USSD codes and gives me a 'connection error invalid mmi code' message.
Are you having the same issues? I sure wish I could find something on this. Every time I try to search, it changes the I337UCUFBNCI to "Did you mean: i337ucufnb1?" I can't find anything totally, just bits and pieces. UGHHHHHH
Success, I couldn't find a step by step tutorial to fix my issue but thanks to a full nb1 .tar and a couple other files all given by contributors I was able to odin download to reset the custom icon to official then I had to odin download the full nb1 .tar. after doing this I did the ota att nc1 update and my phone is good as factory. Until I decide to root again that is.
If you would like some help let me know

I would like some help! How were you able to root fnc1? ! And is safe strap the only custom recovery that will work I'm guessing?
thanks in advance.
adam
I did not root nc1, but it is possible thanks to some very smart contributors. I was previously rooted and wanted to unroot to factory. I became unrooted but my system was still unofficial and custom which I was having a problem getting rid of so I can trade in my phone in the future for credit. Just search nc1 root on xda and you should find the info. Its a bit of a process but you should be able to figure it out. You need to odin download back to nb1 first and go from there. If you would like some additional help I can try to give some advise but I'm no expert or developer just an enthusiast

Rooting I337UCUFNC1
Hi. I have followed the threads for a while on rooting my I337. I purchased it used a month ago and really want to root it and install a custom rom. But by reading all the threads I am confused and somewhat worried I will brick it!
Can someone explain to me real clearly what software and files I should use to obtain root on AT&T I337UCUFNC1 and install a custom rom? I am ok with downgrading.
Thanks much.

Hey CF,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
It's the first time I wanted to root my phone, aswell it's the first time I connected my phone to my notebook. I followed these instructions step-by-step. Result after the Start button:

Rooting my device
Hello,
I am going to purchase an S4, I9505 and I would like to root the phone, just simply because I want to remove a bloatware apps and gain true control of the device.
My question is - if I follow the instructions in the first 3 posts to letter, how much is the chance to brick the phone? The phone is already on 4.4.2. Do I need to do anything else, or just follow the guide?
I know its a silly question, but I am going to spend some money on the device, and don't want to brick it...
Thank you in advance!

0,0000000001%. It's almost impossible to brick your phone.
Root have stopped working.
I9505, 4.2.2, XXUAMDE.
The phone have been rooted for more than a year.
Yesterday I tried "Wondershare\Dr.Fone for Android" as some smemo have been lost. Im not 100% sure this is why the root was lost.
Today I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 and re-rooted using Odin3.
The process seemed to run fine - but SuperSu cant start - get the "no binary fil installed" error.
What can I do?

Will CF Auto Root work on an S4 (Android 4.4.2) with the baseband version I9505XXUGNJ3? I really can't afford a new phone but I want to root this one so I'm taking as many precautions as possible. Thanks.

Hi!
I am willing to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (brand-Vodafone Italy and running XXUGNJ5 firmware) using CF Auto-Root, in order to flash TWRP and Google Edition ROM on it.
It is not a network-locked smartphone, but just "branded" (it gets some easily uninstallable Vodafone bloatware each time I update it via OTA, however I can use whatever SIM I want in it): is it risky for me to root it using Chainfire Auto-Root?

Greetings people on this forum, I just wanted to find out how to check the Bootloader status on my Note 3.
I bought this phone yesterday, and I thought I bought the Exynos version but apparently I got the Snapdragon 800 version signed to Verizon. Though I have my suspicions about my seller because they sold it to me in the spanish text box, stating it had the Exynos octacore chip inside. But I'm happy that it's not that version because the Snapdragon is better lol
It's the 32gb variant and I've been looking through the forums and saw the device has Cyanogenmod 11, but requires the Developer edition of the phone. Now I have absolutely no idea how to check bootloader status, which is why I'm posting here.
As you know, the model number is the SM N900V.
Any other information could be provided.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

behind the battery it will say developer version or something like that while running you can use an app called Cpu-z to tell you much of the information you need to know and if you could tell us what version of android is running on it now we can tell you how screwed you are.
it should say something like this under baseband.
N900VVRUCNC4
If it says N900VVRUCNK1 and your android version is 4.4.4 your boned no root no roms.
nc4 has a slim glimmer of hope in that they forgot to blacklist the nc2 kernel and thus we have a way in with roms but as of yet there is no way to root NK1

I surmise that you want to know if your bootloader is locked or unlocked, correct?
Developer Edition phones have an unlocked bootloader. If you have a developer edition I would think you would have been so aware upon purchase. A seller would have made such a selling point.
If you have a Developer Edition, you will be able to use TWRP "recovery" to flash Cyanogen MOD. Of course, your phone will need to be rooted. Note, you will be limited to ROMs made exclusively for the Developer Edition.
Re Cyanogen Mod, if you have a Developer Edition you will be able to flash CM. If you do not then you will be somewhat limited
Cyanogen MOD for Dev Ed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600883
Jfyi, Verizon phones have a locked bootloader.
Fortunately, a forum member has provided a work-around recovery: Safestrap; which can be used to flash ROMs. Of course, your phone must be rooted. Though, because the bootloader is locked you will be limited in the (non-Dev Ed) roms and kernals available for use.

I took a snapshot of my cpuz and I've got the NC4 version so hopefully that counts for something lol I still dont know how to check for unlocked or locked status and it didnt say anything on the back of the phone. Plus I bought it from a retailer who I assume bought it refurbished and sold it here. Read the op and youll see why I say that lol but yeah if theres a tool I could use thatd be great
You do not have a dev version so cm 11 or 12 is a far off dream you won't get. Your bootloader is locked there is no unlock.
You are in luck nc4 is root able using towel root then safe strap and the unified firmware. You will need odin and a pc for flashing a few things the NK1 modem towel root and the unified firmware. Pick a rom from the development thread i suggest jasmine 1.x or eclipse.

No. It probably means you have upgraded your phone to a point where root is not attainable. Go into About Phone and see what version of the Android OS you are running. If it is 4.4.4, their is no root available for that.
Root and Bootloader are two different things. Bootloader is locked on our device as well.

Cannot save or install ROMs - Rooted, SafeStrap installed, Knox OK
Howdy, folks!
My Verizon Note 3 details: SM-N900V / Android 4.4.2 / Kernel 3.4.0-1487472 / build version NC4 / bootloader NC4 / Knox = 0x0.
Device is rooted (via TowelRoot and confirmed with Titanium Backup). SafeStrap 3.75 is "Installed". BusyBox 1.232 is installed.
As I understand it, in order to save or install ROMs I *must* use SafeStrap.
When I run SafeStrap the screen shows "State: Installed" and "Safe System: Not Active".
Tapping "Reboot to Recovery" does reboot the phone but I do NOT get any options to save or install any ROMs. The phone just reboots.
I thought I read somewhere I may need to (somehow) roll back to NC2...
Any ideas, folks?
Thanks!

You must have busybox installed for the safestrap install to truly work. So...install busybox, reboot, re-install safestrap, reboot and should now be able to reboot into safestrap recovery.

Instead of removing SafeStrap to do clean reinstalls I just installed SafeStrap over itself.

Maybe this VIDEO helps you. It's for one sm-n900a.
Perhaps it would if i could find the corresponding files for the n900v. Any ideas where i can find them?
i found everything but this file:N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_VZW.zip
Update
After some extensive searching i found the files and hope to attempt to downgrade according to video posted ^ with my SM-N900V. I found a great site for FW versions for anyone encountering this problem in the future: galaxynote3update
update
This method does not work on Verizon. I found the Verizon equivalent files and attempted this but got a SW REV CHECK fail when trying to download 4.4.2 FW. ATT must not have a version check in theirs. I have exhausted every method out there. Hoping someone comes up with a one click root for this configuration soon cuz not having root sucks
Did you ever succeed?
I just received a new Note 3 from my warranty company. I was hoping it would have 4.4.2 on it
but it has the same version as yours. I really could use root.
Any luck with your phone?

Upon further research I found out that if your phone is n900vvrudnk1 it is not compatible to root. It seems that sammy has us under lock-down for now. If we upgrade to the lollipop 5.0 will this upgrade boot loaders also?
I bought a new/ used S5 (to replace my rooted S3) and had hoped to root it as well. Towel root made rooting very easy back then (for my S3) and now as I read the threads with people having the same S5 config as mine, there seems to be no way to root......not even by downgrading to 4.4. Is this correct ?
Being new to this, I am a bit confused about the other custom ROMs being discussed. Does my S5 need to be rooted to install a custom ROM ?
Thanks much

Correct, it's been said over and over in this forum. If you are on BOG5 you cannot root or downgrade. And yes, you must be rooted to run a custom ROM.

I was under the impression that safestrap didn't work with lollipop. That's why people used flashfire

You need to flash the NI2 kernel forest, then reboot. This should get you into SS. Look for NI2flasher.apk
You will also need to flash your build kernel (OG5) BEFORE you exit SS.
