I used Kingo android root to root my phone.
Im dieing please help me

You can't put on a custom recovery on mk2. You're going to have to Odin the mk2 tar file to recover your device

[Q] Accidentally installed VZ firmware (i think) on ATT (SGH-i337)

HI everyone. I think i accidentally installed the wrong firmware on my att sgh-i337 GS4. I'm not positive but that's what I think will happen. Appears that it is not rooted as I ODIN keeps failing. Also wireless does not work so I cannot get any internet connection to work. I just want to get back to ANYTHING usable. KIES does not see my device. Please help me get back to anything. I was trying to help a friend with his phone and ended up in this state so I want to get it back to him working in anyway. I've done a few of these and never had this much trouble. Help please. Thanks.

Just flash the correct firmware in Odin. Do you know what firmware version the device was on?

Awesome! Fixed! Thank you a million. Now, what's the proper way to root this device at this point? I spent at least an hour reading about how to root the sgh-i337 with 4.4.2 which it appears this phone is now running. I don't want to go through that mess again. If you could provide me this step now I would really appreciate it. Again, can't thank you enough.

Okay I will try that again. I did use that first last time and it would appear rooted based on the root checker app then I would reboot and it would say it's not rooted. Additionally things that required root said the phone wasn't rooted.

I know I"m killing you here but i'm treading lightly based on my last experience. The NC1 update I found is only 20mb. Not a full build obviously. The thread says this:
"irst you need to odin back to stock NB1, and then flash the NC1 update in stock recovery.
NC1 update zip can be found here.

Not sure how to do that at htis point. Thanks.

[ HELP] S4 I9505 OTA Update Problem

Hi! So I'm rooted and I want to update my phone but when I try to do it, it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." So I reset my flash counter using Triangle Away and now it says 'official' and 'O' but still that modified blah blah is still appearing. How do you solve this?

AFAIK Manually flashing the ROM is the only way. If you want OTA updates, do not root your phone.

Use wanam xposed to make the status to official in the phone.
See if that works. IMHO it wont still..

I kind of tried that already with Triangle Away but it didn't work. It said that phone runs with official firmware but the warning still appears.
