My S4 shipped with mi1 however I immediately rooted and frozen sdm
Now since there are safe root with the latest ota, should I update or not? is there any chance that unlocking bootloader on MI1 would be easier than MK2 or they are essentially the same?
This locked phone is really frustrating

I only have a few days experience with this, but in everything I've been reading, there's nothing really past MDK that works with the recovery images...think we're stuck with MK2 until the pros figure it out.

Safestrap 3.7x works with JB 4.3 ROMs so you can Rom away.
Have to agree with equake here.
You're already past MDK, so AOSP-based ROMs are no longer an option while the bootloader is locked, BUT there are several good ROMs available for booting from Safestrap.
Lots of them listed here (try Verizon GPE and HyperDrive first):

Just a side note.. Hyperdrive 12 only works on Safestrap 3.71 which is either mj7 or mk2. And us 4.3 users really only have HD 12 and maybe a couple others to choose from currently. No GPE as that was on 4.2.
Again there are people working to bring more roms our way on 4.3 you can find them in the dev section and Eclipse is gonna be coming soon for us to I hear.

There's Omega, darthstalker, foxhound and Hyperdrive last I checked.
ImO Hyperdrive and Foxhound are the ones to really check out.
Not a huge difference option wise... Hyperdrive and foxhound seem to be tricked out the most. I'm a Hyperdrive man myself.

If you are already beyond MDK, the only reason not to upgrade is no method of root or getting back to stock.
Right now not an issue.
I was rooted on MI1 just went directly to MK2.
No Wipe MK2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
Saferoot -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
GS4 Tether Unlock -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512981
Thanks then i will just upgrade and root
Hopefully the bl gets solved soon

Last I checked there wasn't a way to use any custom ROMs on a Verizon S4 running MJ7. Is this still the case?

No. Root, safestrap makes possible several custom roms.

Hyperdrive 12 is really your only viable roms...Some others are coming online. There are couple threads you would need to read. I'm sure some you tube videos are out. I did a guide in general section that gives a good idea of what to do.

Can I go ahead and install the latest MK2 update and still do Safestrap and HH?
If so I'm assuming I'll need to remove root, yes?

Yea you can update to mk2 to be able to take the ota you need to unroot and get rid of any xposed mods you may have and or restore anything you may have frozen using tibu.
If that still doesn't work you may have to Odin back to whatever your Current version is then take the ota
Then root using saferoot method and install Safestrap and you're off to the races.

I could have sworn I seen a thread after I was updating to MK2 how to install HyperDrive on MJ7/MK2 but have lost it now. Do you happen to know of the thread or a tutorial on how to get HyperDrive installed now that I'm running MK2 and rooted with Safestrape installed?

You just create a rom slot then flash the Hyperdrive zip plus the mk2 modules.. Then reboot and you're good.
Be sure you download the Hyperdrive for SS zip.

I used to run hyperdrive before i bricked my phone. It's an awesome rom.

I was rooted, no SS, on 4.3 and had no issues. Regretfully, I took the NC5 update and have had horrible signal and missed calls ever since. What is the best way for me to downgrade back to 4.3, root or not doesn't matter at this point. Thanks
Surge has a thread in this forum about upgrading to NC5... It also has info and the required files to downgrade to MK2 along with the instructions on how to do so. I did it the other day with no problems. (I didn't stay on MK2 long though, as I upgraded back to NC5 with root)

Thanks. I saw his thread but wasn't sure that was what I needed to follow. I'll give that a shot.

The issue I was having was that after I did the OTA my signal was garbage. I almost never got 4G and my 3G speeds were slow. After I reflashed the update my 4G is back and my speed is back to normal.
Need to know what would be the best way to root and update to kitkat I have used Odin many times is their a stock rooted 4.4 kitkat rom I can flash
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
If your fully stock mk2 right now use saferoot to root let it disable knox when it asks. install safestrap 3.72 then follow the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2749660
IMO updating to kitkat isn't really worth it, until there is a native root that is not downgrading and rerooting and then upgrading. and if you want to keep root stay on mk2.

Exactly I'm with him on that one
... Mk2 is where I'd stay unless your extremely comfortable with Odin and troubleshooting.

First i would like to say, Thanks for checking out my post. Now i have a question. I am running freezas rom and i have the nh7 firmware. How do i upgrade this to nk4?
Is it true i have to facyory reset my phone and run the ota update? If so it will not allow me to update, because my device had a custom rom. Also where can i find the nk4 tar file so i can odin it to my note 3?

If you factory reset, then odin the nk4 update, you will be on official firmware. Odin will over-write your old system, giving you official status. This is how we all go from rooted roms to official in order to get updates.

Or wait for a dev to put out a rooted update. And lollipop is being sent out so maybe wait a little bit.
