Hello,
Is there a way to downgrade a Samsung Galaxy s4 at&t (SGH-I337) from 4.4 to 4.2. Because I wanted to try doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900 so maybe I would be able to unlock my bootloader and get a recovery, so I change different roms. I looked all over but I have no clue if this is possible.
Thanks!

you can't unlock it. If you have MDL firmware you can use an exploit but if you are on MK2 of MF3 its completely locked down

Yes you will, if you want to be able to flash roms I recommend that you do not take the update

You will not lose sim unlock however you will lose boot loader unlock. Just wanted to clarify that

It's good to know that I won't lose my SIM unlock, I had been worried that it would cause problems for the person I sold my s4 to, it's nice to know I didn't screw them over (T-Mobile user).

It's been less than 24 hours... have a little patience.
Try it out and let us know. When I get to my computer later I will be experimenting with some methods.

Trying to Root AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 4.4.2 methods fail, why?
I am trying to root my AT&T Galaxy S4 i337UCUFNB1 android 4.4.2 kitkat. I have tried the towelroot method by Geohot and it fails because the phone reboots and I've also tried the "motochopper" method :"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604":4382 , which looked like it was going to work and then I get this error in the image provided. I don't know what I am doing wrong I followed the steps of both methods, if someone can help me figure this out I would be VERY grateful!

Does mobile Odin work for 4.4.2? If so try flashing with that and using the inject su option

I can't see a signature in the mobile app, so forgive me if it is stated. This may not work if he is in US. The i337 is not listed as a compatible model, most likely because of the locked bootloader.
That app sounds great though. I will have to remember it for other unlocked Samsung phones.

Odin probably wouldn't work because we can't get custom recoveries onto our devices.
Any other root methods available for 4.4.2?
You mean it's been a whole WEEK and we don't root for this yet???
What are we paying all these devs for?
/sarcasm
So I rooted my galaxy s4 AT&T and I rooted it while on mf3. Is there a way for me to upgrade without breaking my phone? I don't care about keeping root. Just need to update! Thanks!
Post 2 has everything you need to root your devce and install a new Rom.

If you want to just update and not care about rerooting ever again, you can download the stock rom and install it via odin. It will unroot your phone in the process.

Right. Just remember that you lose any advantages for rooting that MF3 has over MK2.
