I'm not familiar with the i337u but I'm guessing it's a Canadian variant and the bootloader is unlocked. If so root it with this

Safestrap.
Ok, I'm sorry, I'm with you now. After flashing a rom you need to flash the nc1 module to get Wi-Fi working. See the third post of this, the first spoiler.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227 Download the nc1 module and flash that in safestrap

They'll work as long as you flash the nc1 module after flashing the rom

This is still me. I'm on my laptop now so this is the account for the laptop. I was on my phone earlier. Anyways, flashing the modules didn't fix the wifi.

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.

"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.

If you see this while booting into stock recovery, that can be ignored as we don't use the stock recovery for anything other than ota.
If you see this during normal boot, you would have to Odin back to stock and start over.
Well I can't boot into recovery I get this all the time

Whenever I try to install a custom rom with Safestrap, it doesn't even get to the boot animation; it just goes to a black screen. The touch lights on the bottom of the phone are lit for like 5 seconds, then go out. What do I do?
48 views, no replies... anybody know a fix?
I don't know what the problem is. But what I'd do is flash the stock firmware in Odin again. Then root and reinstall safestrap and try again. But it would help to know what roms you tried to install. You can only install roms that specifically work with safestrap

First you need to use safestrap as your recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56453100
Then you can only flash touch wiz based roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227

Even TW based roms give me a black screen... guess I'll have to stick with stock...
Unless anybody else has any ideas?
Now that Xposed is compatible with Samsung TW ROMS, I'd like to install Xposed on my S4 with 5.0.1 Lollipop and OC3. I need a custom recovery to install Xposed, so how can I do it?
I've searched and can't find anything. Right now I have just the stock android recovery.
You can't. The only custom recovery you can use is safestrap and afaik xposed won't flash in it.
