HI everyone. I think i accidentally installed the wrong firmware on my att sgh-i337 GS4. I'm not positive but that's what I think will happen. Appears that it is not rooted as I ODIN keeps failing. Also wireless does not work so I cannot get any internet connection to work. I just want to get back to ANYTHING usable. KIES does not see my device. Please help me get back to anything. I was trying to help a friend with his phone and ended up in this state so I want to get it back to him working in anyway. I've done a few of these and never had this much trouble. Help please. Thanks.

Right. I've been trying to do this. Whenever I do that ODIN says "AUTH FAIL" Originally i was on ATT Stock 4.4.2. Thank you for your reply. Very much appreciated.
Not sure. I have one that I thought was correct from the other day when I started this mess. Can you tell me where to get the appropriate file?
Look in the general forum, index all things att......

Okay. Is this correct? I was going to use the "rootable" one...

Thanks again for the help.
Awesome! Fixed! Thank you a million. Now, what's the proper way to root this device at this point? I spent at least an hour reading about how to root the sgh-i337 with 4.4.2 which it appears this phone is now running. I don't want to go through that mess again. If you could provide me this step now I would really appreciate it. Again, can't thank you enough.
Use towel root by geohot. Just Google it

Okay I will try that again. I did use that first last time and it would appear rooted based on the root checker app then I would reboot and it would say it's not rooted. Additionally things that required root said the phone wasn't rooted.
Again see the index, all things at&t.... You should do the update to nc1 before rooting with towel root

I know I"m killing you here but i'm treading lightly based on my last experience. The NC1 update I found is only 20mb. Not a full build obviously. The thread says this:
"irst you need to odin back to stock NB1, and then flash the NC1 update in stock recovery.
NC1 update zip can be found here.

Not sure how to do that at htis point. Thanks.
Also..yes trying to figure it out based on "Post 3" as indicated but I'm not totally sure where i'm coming from or where I'm going...
