Hello,
I have a rooted AT&T i337, build number JDQ39.I337UCUAMDL -- I no longer want to get OTA updates to keep my root, and I am spending most of my time in Canada now, so I am wondering if I can flash the I337m ROM I got from samsung-updates? I am getting conflicting info -- I know i337 with later updates have locked bootloader and flashing the ROM doesn't work, but what about my already rooted phone?
Thanks,
Adrian
hi guys
I have the Canadian (rogers) version of the S4, i337m.
Ever since I got the OTA update to firmware NC1, I have been trying to find a way to get back to STOCK MK6 firmware.
I have been searching for a clear method, but cant find out the exact process of doing it.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
Currently a relative of mine has a S4 unlocked here in Canada, but it is the AT&T Variant (SGH-i337). His phone is rooted, but before I rooted, I tried updating through OTA to Kitkat but the Software Updater tells me there are no available updates. I've also tried connecting it to Kies but it tells me to update via OTA. How can I update his phone to Kitkat? He's currently on Rogers Wireless and is currently using Android 4.3. Also once I update it, is there a way to root it again without tripping knox or voiding the warranty?

Read the return to stock section of All things ATT thread.
There are 2 versions of kitkat. One that ends with NB1 and the other is NC1 (newer).
If you want to get to NC1, you will have to flash NB1 first (or update to NB1) and then update to NC1.
There are 2 firmware versions for NB1 - one is rootable and other is not (but can be updated to NC1 and then rooted).
You would root it using towelroot (just google for this).

Hey guys I'm currently still on 4.2.2 with rooted mf3 running a gpe rom via safestrap. I've been trying to unroot, so I can finally upgrade to KitKat. Has anyone successfully unrooted and updated? If so, can you help me out? Thank you.
My S4 (ATT, i337) came with 4.4.2
I updated to 4.4.4, downgraded the bootloader and rooted, safestrapped. Then back to 4.4.4 bootloader.
Now when I try to do OTA update to 5.0.1 around 27% the update fails and reboots the phone back
into 4..4.4 with interrupted message. My questions are
1. How to updated rooted, safestrapped 4.4.4 S4 to latest 5.0.1?
2. Will odin back to 4.4.2, then OTA update to 5.0.1 help?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Make sure you have at least 1 GB free on internal space and you can try again. Otherwise, check the General Section for the instructions to OTA OC3 and Keep Root and if you really don't want root for some reason you can remove busybox and unroot with SuperSU
