Man!!! READ forum before posting!!
I did not realize you were boot locked.
Before this thread gets moved or deleted: you must tell us that whether you have unlocked your bootloader. If you haven't unlocked it, then you're stuck with SafeStrap and you should give up on ANY AND ALL custom ROMs beyond Android 4.2. Otherwise, if you have an unlocked BL, just fastboot flash a custom recovery and flash any ROM from there.
And stop posting the same question everywhere!

Sounds like you tried to flash some ROMs that aren't compatible with SS.

You're telling me I can run 4.2 roms in safestrap with a 4.1.2 base?
The only 4.2 ROM that worked was a CM10 port. It's running around in this forum somewhere.
You mean CM10.1(4.2)? or CM10 (4.1.2)

No, I mean everything Android 4.2+ will not run, including 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and so on. I should've been clearer when describing. Just try that CM10 (Android 4.1.x).

There was a 10.1 in development for SS, but the BL unlock came out and they shifted focus away from SS.

not true for 4.1.2 ROMs and newer.
I'd advise against SS.
see if you can install 4.1.1 via matt's utility or via team firmware's files. then, you can flash 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 via TWRP.

What can you do?
For one thing you can flash a custom rom which is a finished product.
But if you want to fool around with Google Edition roms you can try this little trick,
reboot the phone and toggle the wifi on and off 3 or 4 times waiting about 10 seconds
between toggling. For some people this little trick temporarily fixed the wifi issue.

I am assuming that you have never done an OTA and updated to the official
MF3 4.3 firmware yet, if you have done an OTA MF3 update then ignore this post.
There are no google edition 4.3 roms which are safestrap compatible as of yet.
So far only the Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 custom roms are compatible with it.
The only reason that your phone is working with the google edition rom
is because it's based on version 4.2.2 rom.
None of the developers are going to create a full featured custom google
edition 4.2.2 rom since the official 4.3 firmware is available.
However if you want to try a full featured Touchwiz Jellybean custom rom
which I would highly suggest.
This custom rom is based on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware.
It's called "Darthstalker v9" and it's really excellent.

It will explain it all to you in great detail, the thread also has links where you can

Currently there are only three full featured custom roms which are fully compatible with MF3.
Darthstalker v9 is one of them and it was very recently updated.
You will see the links to them on the very first post.

Hi, you said you forgot to flash the kernel modules to get wifi working with MF3, but when you did, wifi was working correctly. I cant FOR THE LIFE of me figure out how to get my wifi working. I flashed the "jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip" file from Hashcode's safestrap forum, but cannot get it to work. Ive also wiped everything and tried flashing the rom and module again, but no luck. Do you have links or can you tell me which kernel I should be flashing please? I really love Darthstalker and this is the only thing holding me back..
EDIT: Nevermind... Thank you anyway.. I re-downloaded the module and re-did the whole flashing process. Its working now.. Weird. Ive done the same thing atleast 5 times.. Oh Well.. Im happy now! :victory:

I didn't see anyone mention it so i'll tell you - this is a simple fix.
If you are running MF3 and are using this GPE Rom 4.2.2 via SafeStrap, you need to simply flash the kernel for MF3 AFTER you've flashed the GPE Rom.
You can A.) Wipe your current Rom-Slot, flash the ROM itself then immediately flash the kernel provided at (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925) ---> Just above "Manually remove SafeStrap"
Or you can B.) Just flash the kernel zip package over the same Rom-Slot you have the Google Play Edition Rom 4.2.2 on.
I am new to flashing so sorry if I have asked some stupid questions.
I have SGH-I337 (ATT) and would like to root and then maybe install Cyanogenmod or any other custom ROM.
Device Details:
Baseband - NC1
Build No. - NC1
Android Version - 4.4.2
I tried to root NC1 directly using motochopper. Then I read and I am now trying to downgrade.
I have got ODIN 3.09 but it does not say support to I337. I have gone through Noob Helper
I have downloaded all zips from Downgrade
After reading the article of Modems; I got confused about my bootloader.
I also have gone through the thread but after that confusion, I did not proceed ahead.
Could anyone please help me?
How to identify boot-loader?
Which ODIN to use or do I need to use SAFETRAP (not sure if bootloader is MF3) ?

Dont worry about Odin saying the device is i9505 or so. The flash will work.
For samsung phones running full stock firmware, all the components have the same version. Since your build is NC1, your bootloader is also NC1.
You are in the right track. Follow the downgrade thread to partial downgrade to MK2. Then use saferoot to root. Then install safestrap v3.72. Then use the deadly venom kitkat magic tool to install any kitkat rom of your choice from this list (post 3).
You cannot install any AOSP based rom. So, no CM. Even google play edition roms dont work.
You can install AOSP themed roms (like BlackBox3.0)

As already stated, no AOSP based roms will work (ROMs that are built by compiling AOSP code). Only TouchWiz based roms will work. If you need AOSP look and feel, you can install an AOSP themed rom.
CM/AOSP on ATT S4 is only possible if you have the MDB/MDL bootloader. Anything above that, it wont work.

Sorry for the repeated questions.
I tried to update through Safestrap with BlackBox. But I got stuck on the boot screen where it shows Samsung Logo. I might have done something wrong. I just clicked next on BlackBox 3.0. Could anyone please help me !
Edit:
When I tried to reboot into recovery mood (Vol Up + Home + Power) it says:
" Secure Fail Kernel
(Warning Sign) System Software not authorised by ATT has been found on your phone"
Don't select the reboot now option in the aroma installer at the end. Then, after the ROM flash is complete and before you reboot the phone, you need to put the phone back in download mode and flash the MLD ap/bl/cp files from the tool

He probably was following the steps that were provided elsewhere here that had you go from nc1 to nb1 then back to the M (I can't remember which M) one.

I had rooted MK2 and the installed the custom ROM (Blackbox) and then was suppose to flash NB1.
So, if I just did a factory reset it would solve my error?
Thanks for the help!

I tried doing the factory reset. It just wipes all the user data. And I am still stuck on the same screen with Samsung and the custom logo.

I have sent you a PM. Probably I can assist better on hangout.
Hi,
I just got a new phones so I decided it'd be cool to root my old RAZR M. I got the root and unlocked bootloader, and then I went in to try and install a custom rom. It ended failing and it gets stuck on the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" screen. I'm able to go into fastboot and recovery.
I did some looking around, and I found that you can use RSD to get stock ROMs back. I tried downloading the 4.4.2 ROM from here, but it for some reason ends up going down to 0b/s and then says network error, so I tried the 4.1.2. It downloaded, and i went in using RSD to flash it, but it says that gpt_main0.bin failed and it stops. Since I did that, whenever I go into recovery it just freezes and I can't do anything.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to either get the 4.1.2 one working and root that or get the 4.4.2 one downloaded and try that?
Thanks
EDIT: Got 4.4.2 loaded back and did research and got CM11 loaded. Thanks anyways!
Please tell us what stock version you're on and what recovery and ROM you installed. It sounds like you've combined a JB BL ROM with a KK BL phone or vice versa.

I'm on 4.4.2 stock, the recovery I have is TWRP. I tried to install CarbonRom. I guess i should have done more research for ROMs.
Also, I've been able to keep a download of stock 4.4.2 rom going and it's ~85% done so I'm hoping it's able to finish this time.

Yes it does, however CM11 for KK BL (moto_msm8960) still has these nasty WiFi and GPS bugs. If you want a bug-free CM11, you'll have to follow the guide in General section to downgrade to JB (98.30.1) and then flash CM11 for JB BL (moto_msm8960_jbbl). Don't worry, if you've unlocked your BL, then nothing would relock it, not even downgrading.

That is BlissStalk, not BlissPop. BlissPop is on droidrzr.com. yes it's 5.0 (as stated in my signature) and it should work since your on a moto msm device.

Any fix for this?
Even I have an XT905, and from what i have searched on the net, an official kitkat update hasnt come for xt905.
What can be done to get the latest boot files, so that I can flash the latest custom roms, almost all are based out on KITKAT
You would need a KitKat compatible modem for the XT905. And as you already mentioned, it's not available yet.
But it's still possible to use XT907 ROMs for the JB bootloader.
I am using BlissPop on XT905. You just need to download the "jbbl" version. The first boot takes some time so be patient.
It is buttery smooth and battery life is awesome.
Radio is on separate partition and is not flashed by BlissPop
