I just got my Note 3 the other day and before that I wanted to Root it and I didn't know that there was an update and I foolishly updated it. Is there a way that I can go back to M19, or is there a root for MJ7 and I just can't find it. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Google "kingo root" For future reference please use the search function. This has been covered numerous times.
I am sorry if these questions have been asked before but I couldn't find the particular answers that I wanted. Please pardon me if any of these questions are noob questions.
1.) Are there MK2 TAR files that I can download just in case I mess something up and need to flash back using ODIN?
2.) I know that MF3 made it impossible to downgrade back to MDL, but if I have the MF3 TAR files (which I do) can I at least downgrade from
MK2 to MF3?
3 (Optional).) What ROMs work with rooted MK2? Is there some sort of list? Or do the ROMs that worked with MF3 work with MK2?
Thank you for all of your answers. Again I am sorry if some/all of these questions have been asked and/or answered before. I have been searching for the answers on many forums for the past two days and couldn't find someone who asked the same questions. I am also sorry if any of these are noob questions. I just started getting into rooting of the S4 in early November and I know that I still have a lot to learn.
1: yes
2: no
3: there is SS 1.70. It is in beta and is hit and miss. No list of ROMs. You cannot install a custom recovery of custom ROMs.

Thanks for taking the time out and giving straight answers. I have one more question though: Do you by any chance know the download link to the MK2 TAR files?
It is located in the general section. Also, SS has been updated to 1.71. Still in beta.

I am sorry but I can't find the TAR files for it. All I can find is the recovery.img and the thread says no ODIN. I am really sorry for being a noob but I can't seem to find it.
Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196595
Place it on The SD card. And go to the stock recovery to flash.

Thanks a lot! Is there a way to flash with ODIN yet though just in case I am stuck in a boot loop and I can't reach the stock recovery because I have been in that position before when I was in MF3 and I had to use ODIN. If there isn't that's fine, I'll just be extra careful. Thank you for all your help and this is my last question.
Not that I know of.

Hi everyone, I have been a fan of the xda website for a long time and you guys have always helped me solve my problems with my phones.
This is the first time I need something that I haven´t been able to find. Forgive me if it is already answered but I cannot find it.
Basically my problem is that I was trying to rom my phone for the first time and it failed.... miserably. I did not brick my phone; it still works, starts up and functions normally except for a few key things: a few programs do not function any more, most notably the wifi, contacts and dialer app, the lock screen widgets and some others.
What I did was installed safestrap, then downloaded the gravitron rom. I put everything in the right place, created the extra rom slot, then is where the noob came in. I forgot to switch over to the rom slot and instead installed over the main rom... Wow much noob, right?
Anyway, what I want to know is if there is any way to salvage my phone? I am on baseband mf3 and with the research I have done, I have concluded I am screwed until odin files for mf3 come out. But if there is any way I can get my phone back to normal I would appreciate it so very much.
Thank you all in advance for your help. I apologize if i have left anything out but I will give any info on request.
No love for the guy with busted wi-fi?
Please help me! I'm killing my data plan... and it's really annoying to not be able to use my dialer or contacts.

Sounds like you're on mf3 firmware? If so, I'd flash that firmware and start over. Google mf3 tar files xda
If on MF3 you will need to flash the modules provided in the development thread. If on MK2, you will need to manually place them because there is no flashable modules yet AFAIK. No need to start from scratch unless you want it back to complete stock.

I am on mf3 baseband, i forgot to add that to the op.
I have tried flashing them with odin already, it instantly fails. Though I did it again just now to be sure with the same results.
Any other suggestions?
You don't flash the modules in Odin... You flash them in the SS recovery.

How would I go about doing that? I have tried copying the jellybean folder from the mf3 tar files on to my phone and going to install in SafeStrap, but I cannot install them as they dont even appear. Should I be going to a different place to install?
The modules are in the SS development thread. It is a zip file.

Ahhh fantastic, you're a lifesaver! My wifi works now! Woot!
So now, is there any way I can get my phone back to stock? because my calendar and my dialer and contacts still don't work for me...
I think something happened when i installed the rom over my stock rom. whoops.
There are MF3 tar files. You can flash with Odin.

Ok that's the one I was trying to do but it fails instantly. I downloaded the mf3 tar files from xda, loaded them up like the thread suggested, put the phone into recovery mode but it instantly fails.
Any thoughts on why?
Drivers, USB port, cable. My money is on drivers though. Check all three.

Do you have a PC? The VZW installation software has a repair function as well and will completely wipe and reinstall latest stock version. Took me about 20 mins or so to do when I botched a root attempt. Hope this helps

Does not work with custom roms/safestrap installed.
Nobody else has help? I am surprised a community as large as this one has no help.
You will need to remove SS completely and it should work after that. Strange it didn't work for you. Have you tried the emergency recovery in kies3?

Have you tried this one? And this should be in the Q&A section.

So before I go any further I would just like to quickly note that I have tried to do some research on this question before posting it and have came up empty handed.
Now for the question: My Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 updated to NC1 the night that the update was released and I was wondering how I could currently achieve root on NC1?
Specs:
Model: Samsung SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: I337UCUFNC1
Currently running 100% stock and would like root.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

The same way you root NB1. This has been asked, you proceed with the downgrade as normal. It may help to go to NB1 first and then MK2.

I'm not exactly sure who you're calling a "noob", but if I would like to make a new thread that someone has already asked then I will damn sure do as I please. I appreciate your link in your first reply but the word noob isn't exactly a friendly one and some people take offense to it whether or not it is intended to do so.

At one point we all were and called ourselves like that. What bothers is that we see the same questions on new threads over and over. A forum was design to read and search. Once you don't find your answer you post a new thread. Some moderators will suggest the same to avoid clogged our forum. That's how we should treated and care for. I don't feel it's offensive and if it is apologize to those who feel that way.

I remember when I had my GS3 I had to flash stock 4.3 (which if I'm not mistaken still has a locked bootloader) and then I flashed a custom stock 4.1 rom and was able to flash the latest CM 11 plus a modem/bootloader combo zip from 4.3 and it worked fine. Is that even in the realm of possibilities with the GS4?

I had the GS3 also and it was great you could flash anything Ubuntu and more, but now AT&T tied our hands because the war it's having with Samsung we pay. Others phones like the HTC it's reported to be bootloader unlocked. You can flash cm 11 without any problem.
