There is a odin flashable for your build in android development. That will get you back up and running.

Did you try it with this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504408
I can link you to the Odin but not sure if there is a solid root for it yet once you Odin to MJ7. I seen they are close but best way is to try and maintain root during update.

This lists MDK, ME7, and MI1. Be mindful that root has not officially been achieved yet for MJ7 (4.3), so if you want root, stick on whatever you were coming from. Also, do not attempt to downgrade- if you tried upgrading from MI1 to MJ7, flash the MI1.
Additional details on how to do this via ODIN are in the link provided. Hope this helps.

Just root your install so you don't need to reflash everything. It's been covered here, there's a specific version of SuperUser you need to install. I don't remember it off the top of my head but a search should turn it up.

I have a rooted Incredible and am upgrading to a Razr. It's been so long since I've rooted that I don't remember if doing so automatically installs CWM??
I want to be able to unroot to get the ICS update but not have CWM, just the default boot/recovery options.
Is this possible or have i completely forgotten rooting techniques?

Plus because we are locked we don't actually replace the recovery with CWM so there is no issues with that.
You dont need to unroot because CWM doesnt yet overite stock recovery

Damn! Well, maybe we'll get lucky, like the sprint s4 section and get a bootloader with Knox removed or eventually find a way to reset it.

http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/ Just googled something about Knox. Looks like even custom bootloaders that have Knox removed will be locked out from further updates. Even supposedly a JTAG won't reset it. My suggestion to those of you who are Knox 0x0, stay that way. Don't install custom recovery.

If this is completely bone stock factory firmware flashed through Odin then I don't know why Knox wouldn't reset. Really sucks if it doesn't but at least us rooted folks can get the full update and get rid of the call audio issue. I threatened Sprint with a Class Action lawsuit for the firmware blocking because as paying customers we are free to do whatever we want with our phones even if it voids a warranty. But when there is a software issue out of the box that they need to correct then everyone should be entitled to that.
According to the article, and the link to chainfire's comments, once the counter is tripped, it cannot be reset. I saw there's over a $1100 bounty to be able to reset the counter, but no luck yet.
Anyone willing to host a mirror for this? Those official mirrors are slow as hell. Might just Odin back to stock and take the update that way, probably faster.
I'd do a torrent but my home connection breaks down all the time.
This may be an extremely stupid question but I've been browsing around and can't seem to find an answer...I currently have VRUAME7 build, and seems as most ROMs have stopped pushing updates for the safestrap / this build.
I'm having some issues on my ROM, screen locks and won't wake up. So I figured, will have to update my version to one of the supported.
Is the only way to do this to go back to stock ROM, unroot, download and then root again? Or is there any sort of tutorial for this out there? I've searched all over and haven't been able to find out anything about this.

Well the easiest way to do that would be to use the no wipe Odin tar of me7 then take the otas up through mj7 or mk2. Once your on one of those builds you can use Safe Root to gain root again and then install SafeStrap 3.7x.
I'll see if I can find the links for you...

Again... I'd just use the me7 no wipe to get you to the point where your s4 will accept an OTA. Then allow your phone to take those updates ...there is 3 otas you'd take to get to the latest mk2. Then you can root.. install SafeStrap and your good.
Your phone MAY be able to take OTA right now if u uninstalled SafeStrap...unrooted ...put any bloat you may have removed back on.. and removed xposed. But its easier to just use the method I said earlier if u ask me

Also look here for videos on how to do things if you needed. I assume you know that you cannot have a custom recovery that allows for aosp ROMs like CyanogenMod. Only SafeStrap.

Nope not bricked just tired of custom ROMs and bugs...I am back on MDK but I will probabaly upgrade to newest firmware and lose the ability to have an unlocked bootloader. I have been flashing ROMs, kernels, themes, you name it...for years and I am ready to just have a stock phone that works all the time.
You can upgrade to NC5 and root via towelroot.com with no issues and get busybox and safestrap. All done with APK's, no ODIN flashing required. You DID successfully wipe and restore to factory MDK?
