oh btw if u dont like this post u can delete
and my imei is not working

Link does not work even if I cut and paste and remove the space between .com. If this isn't a hoax then a correct link address would be greatly appreciated. Also, how do you know you have root and do you have an S4 Active?
EDIT: Never mind, I found the video and it is not for the Active. Nice try, but make sure you know what and where you're posting next time.

dud i have the active and is working fine i have the att i537

Then why didn't you post in the existing thread? There is a lot of confusion if you read the comments for that video. For some it worked, for others it didn't, but I didn't see anyone say it worked on their i537. This is not really helpful if even you don't know what you did to get it to work.

In the title of this thread you say you rooted MI2. This was already achieved months ago; MI2 is a pre-release. What we are struggling to find is root for ML2 which is official 4.3 firmware for the i537.
I think you need to do a little more reading about the different firmware.

Hi to everyone and thanks for taking your time to read and help me out. Well I have the s4 active i537 and my firmware is ML3 4.2.2 and I keep seeing ppl go to 4.4.2 stock but none say there for my type of firmware or how to go about updating it. Some say it works just fine others say it dont let them do certaine things... I have mobile odin on my phone and im obviously rooted so any help on this topic will be well appreciated. Thanks in advance...
based on previous threads in the Q and A subforum, one can install *stock* 4.3 image *ML2* using Odin, update via wiFi to 4.4 and root using https://towelroot.com/

Do you have an AT&T i537, or was it purchased from a different carrier?

just to add another possibility but it may also have been a non-carrier purchase from phone store, unlocked device from any number of online vendors ... as in my two i537 devices from such a source, not purchased from any carrier, in case it matters.
The phone is from att but is being used on another carrier.

All you need to do is flash the ML2 Odin package and then flash the NE3 OTA after that and you'll be on 4.4.2. It should only take about an hour.

Thanks a bunch I finally got my i537 on 4.4.2 also got it rooted. Possible safestrap? And any way for me to run a costume rom? I read somewhere that there's a way to load a costume kernel after it has read the stock one 1st so I'm guessing it would alow to use any costume rim but I don't know if it works the way I think it does.

What phone do you have? If, as I'm assuming, you have a Samsung phone, but it's not the i537, this thread might be what you're looking for. I used it to deodex NE3 on this phone and it seems to work well for deodexing stock Samsung phones in general.

Emmm, I'm posting in the i9295 thread because I have an i9295, of course.
Btw, the op should state clearly for what variant of active this thread is. Basically for the people new in this forum.

This forum is for the Galaxy S4 Active. There are two variants, the one you have (i9295) which is the international version, and the i537, which is the U.S. (A.T.&T.) version. They are similar in hardware and yet many things are not compatible between phones.
You have a good point that maybe the op should specify which variant of the active this is for, but this is posted in the correct forum.
As far as I know this tool won't work for your phone but the one I linked to in my last post will.

Anyone have any trouble uninstalling apps (user or system) after flashing this? If I try to uninstall anything (either through the Play Store, with the system installer/uninstaller, or with Titanium Backup) most of the time it causes a reboot (I think a hotboot or something because it doesn't go through Safestrap or show the full boot animation on the restart) and more importantly the app I wanted to uninstall is still there. I just figured out I can uninstall user apps by deleting the appropriate apk file from /data/app/ using root-enabled ES File Explorer but I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue or any idea how to address it. I don't even know if this issue is related to deodexing, I just started having this issue after I deodexed using this tool.

If you weren't rooted before the update I don't think there is a way right now at this point.

I believe that you can odin back to 4.4.2 NC2 without issues and then towelroot and safestrap. Follow the thread in general section.

I tried the PingPong root method used on the S6 with no luck. I did add the FPtag that the OP asks for in requesting new devices, so who knows, maybe they will look into S 5 support

Let's hope they work on the S5.
I am skeptical. This seems like it's "too good to be true" but I am wondering if anyone has tried this:

I already had to take my phone to the AT&T Repair store after trying other things. I don't want them to think I am up to something.

Unless we can roll back BL then it won't work, unfortunately.
My att note 3 was on 5.0 with locked boot loader and went all the way back to 4.4.2 to root

It also has to do with qfuse counts.
muniz_ri posted a very informative message in one of the other related threads, but I've lost track of it, but one of the counters that is hardware based once flipped will prevent earlier BL from functioning with the hardware.
Thus, for the G900A once you've run the OC4 bootloader you can't go back to the earlier editions.

[Q] Update to LP no AT&T sim

Hey guys I bought a S5 for a good price for someone as gift just opened it not to long ago and can't update to Lolipop without AT&T sim I was looking for odin files to update it but I can't.
Phone came with 4.4.2 but it's not root-able.
Can anyone point me in right direction where to find odin lp files? SM-G900A

I don't know where the files are. If you read that OP in the link i have you it will tell you that you need to download the nce file then use towel root to root. It will work. Then in that same thread you will be able to upgrade to LP.

Yes. Use the ap slot to downgrade. You do not need sd to do it. After you are rooted read the top of the op about how to get Flashfire. You'll also need busy box i think.

what's funny is I tried to root with towel then kingroot now on boot shows custom when it's really not lol at least not yet or even root shouldn't show custom.
EDIT: rom loaded fine. I hope somehow it did not get re-locked to AT&T sim only though will have test my foreign sim to test
EDIT2: sim unlock seems to be fine my Polish (Play Sim) roamed on AT&T
No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

Kinda funny had the phone for few hours and already playing with it to make it better lol. Would you happen to know if there is any easy way to get extra languages?

I would stay away from xposed for now like you said. It's not fully compatible. I don't use any apps to make it faster. I just use titanium backup to remove bloat. But right now I'm running TMS 2.0 for my rom and it's blazing fast. And i don't have any problems with it. At first you would get media fc but he has a fix for it now.

Once again thanks for your time and help process went well.
I'd load the TMS 2.0 on it before you give it to whoever your giving it to. Lol. I don't think they would be able to tell a difference other than its faster. Just hide or remove apps that you don't think they should me with so they can't me anything up ya know.
