How much research have you done?

It's either one or the other, it can't be both. Go into Settings>About Phone and see what baseband it says.

Asking questions is researching to me, do you have the answer to my question? I have done enough research to downgrade sucessfully from NC5 to MK2 install root go back up to NC5 and run hyper-drive. I like hyper drive but would like more roms to toy around with. Enough with the ego,I'm posting in the right section of the forum and it's a simple question. this question could very well answer more peoples questions and your thanks meter might go up. I've done enough research to know being mean gives you a bad rap and answering questions and bieing helpful in a help section gives you good reputation.

No.... You can not have "to" recoveries. Only "won".

Unfortunately you can only stay with safe strap, the Loki method only worked with the MDK bootloader the phone originally came with when it launched.

Baseband only refers to your modem by the way. Basically you need to know what your bootloader is aka what build your phone is currently on.
Seems you've been answered already as to your recovery question. Only SafeStrap is available for your phone as of now.

Hello
So i just wanted to make a small and clear thread where newbies like me can come and check the most common answers.
Okay so my questions are -
I am Running 2.3.6 Gingerbread Stock on my i777
I bought this phone second hand so i dont know about the past of this phone.Also i bought this phone is US and then came to India.
My Phone -
Stock Kernel - i777UCKK6
Stock Rom - 2.3.6 - Gingerbread
I've read that many people are having problems on galaxys2root.com and have even bricked their phone by Installing wrong kernels.
So can you please tell me which Kernel i should flash ?
And which rom should i flash ?
Also will Flashing a new rooted ROM on my phone Lock my phone with At&t ?
Search and read.

It's best to stay away from that site entirely. The site developer has multiple similar sites for many different phones, and apparently does it for the money, and is not really very good at helping people. Also, while he is a developer, his products sometimes, as you mentioned, cause severe problems.

It's best to make your own choice. The best roms are available on these xda forums. If you don't like the first one you try, you can always switch.

Some of the JellyBean based roms will. SHOstock3 will. Most of the others won't. If that happens, you can unlock it again for free with GalaxSim Unlock, as long as you download it from the developers thread and not purchase it on the market.

Hey, why don't you read Creepy's stickies for once? It's got everything you need. Without reading the stickies you won't follow the tips properly even if someone spoon feed you.
Hi Creepy, thanks for the wonderful tutorials. I have an unlocked 777 and rooted with that stickies only.
On a side note, ShoStock 3 will not cause loosing the unlock status for every devices. I haven't lost my unlock status after flashing ShoStock 3.

Whats the connection of CWM in my quote?
Sorry if it's being asked a lot. I was flashing ROMs last night and I wasn't in the most stable of mind set. Anyway I wake up to a text from my buddy about this update. I remember doing a Samsung update but not an ota and it never went to download mode. How can I tell if I updated it?
I keep seeing VRUAME7 as the new update but this is my current about info and my build is obviously a different rom but my baseband isn't what I see as the before and after screenshot and I just checked my phone with a root checker and it passed. Sorry for being a noob but I came from a gnex! Can anyone give me an idea how to check if I did or if I'm fine?
Sorry I meant to post this in help / q&a not general sorry please move it!!

You're running a custom ROM (CleanROM), so you don't have the update. You do not want to flash the update since it kills root access and prevents the bootloader workaround. This is discussed in nearly every thread in the forum right now.

If you updated you wouldn't have a Root and I don't think you'd have a custom ROM.

The update fails if you have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), which is needed to flash roms. So as long as you have a custom recovery the update can't go through

No problem. I came from the Gnex too and there is definitely a little bit of a learning curve with the S4 modding scene compared to the Gnex. Questions are the only way we learn!

Yes. Especially since I don't fully understand this auto Loki (I understand it flashes a pre release kernel that is insecure hence how I rooted the phone via Odin and motochopper in the first pkace), that and with the boot loader still being locked or at least not unlocked and being bypassed I wasn't 100% positive. Now can I flash the new modem.bin from the update via Odin without messing anything up? From this thread:

Did you install the module sets after flashing hyperdrive?
Nvidia Shield Root and More
Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way.

Concepts are the same. You flash the mk2 kernel patch from safestrap thread immediately after flashing rom.

Hey there! I was just thinking that since those of us with phones that already had KitKat on them have the odds stacked against them in regards to rooting and custom ROMSs and whatnot, that it would be helpful if someone could make a list of ROMS and themes that will work with our phones via Safestrap. I really wanna try out some ROMs again on my phone but don't have time to deal with a crashed phone because I tried to load a ROM that won't work with Safestrap. Anyone have any thoughts on that idea?

It was meant more as a suggestion than a question, but I get it. I saw that other thread (I assume this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630040 is the thread you're referring to), but it says in big red letters that it's for Safestrap with 4.3, so I didn't think it applied to what I was talking about (4.4.2). Is that thread in the link the one you're referring to, and if so, are you saying that those will all work on our phones with 4.4.2 and Safestrap 3.72?

Pay close attention to steps 16-17. Good Luck.
After this update to the newest recovery- cwm or TWRP (making sure you get the working versions for our device) and the development forums are your oyster so to speak.
Edit: Sometimes just flashing a superuser app will do the trick if this is your only issue, but if you came from stock this is how I started back in the day.
Edit: Some ROMs also require root access in developer options set to "apps and adb".
