You can't downgrade from OE1 or OG5. Sorry. Verizon locked them down with OE1.

So if i try flash OG5 it will be success ????
You can, but OG5 is an upgrade from OE1 so you still would not be able to root.

I believe MF3 firmware has rolling out since July. We've been waiting since then. But we're almost there.

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.

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.

i was able to root my I337UCUFNC1 using towelroot as well. however stuck trying to unlock my bootloader to install this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495
any help is appreciated
So I'm on 5.0.1 I want to root my device, install a custom recovery so that I can sim unlock the device. Everywhere I read, it's only possible from 4.4.4 and lower. So my question is, how do I downgrade? I know how to get into recovery. I know how to sideload files. I'm all ears right now. Someone show me the way.
Update: I followed this tutorial and everything worked out fine. I am now rooted on 4.4.4
If you have an Galaxy S4 AT&T you have a locked bootloader, that means you cannot install a custom recovery.
You can go from 5.0.1 OC3 to 4.4.3 NB1 using Odin.

so if the BL has always been blocked how have i been able to install custom recoveries? ie TWRP and SafeStrap... am i wrong in thinking they were custom recoveries?
Ahhh you have a i337 with LOKI exploit. Im.not sure but if you install a stock system(vía Odin) you will lock your bootloader for ever. Search in the forum.

Any help? Or is it even possible?

Shouldn't that be as simple as downloading 4.4.4 firmware and flashing it with ODIN?
The only thing I can successfully flash my phone with it a stock .tar to BOD5 again after I get it suck at the half download screen.

So you're on BOD5 and you try to root? what firmware you want to upgrade to? Once you provide the info I will provide the instructions.

Basically, I just want to root so I can debloat my phone. I'd like to stay on 5.0, just rooted, but I can't figure it out.
If I OTA'd to BOG5, is it possible to root still?

Currently what firmware you are running right now? If you already OTA to OE1 or OG5 you CAN'T ROOT ANYMORE. SO DON'T DO IT.
Tried to update to rooted MM from rooted 5.0 with dev bootloader. Long story short, I lost root and am now on PD1, with PD1 bootloader. I installed the NK2 kernel to try and re-root, but the phone just hangs on the Samsung screen. I have tried Odining back the whole OS to Nk2, and Odin keeps giving me a "FAIL" message.. The only OS that seems to flash without failing is PD1. Any thoughts? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated. THank you in advance.
