Hey guys,

I am very familiar with custom roms and your kernels, from always using them on my SGS2 i777 (AT&T), but i just bought an SGS4 i337 AT&T, on MK2 baseband, and everybody suggested I should install the SHOstock v3.0 for the i337 (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2305752).

Problem is, I am sooooo confused now, because there is jeboo kernels: (Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0a-i.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0a.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v2_2.zip)
...than there's your RECOVERY: Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip

so Im very confused now how I should go about installing our most awesome DEV shoman94's SHOstock v3.0) ROM...==> THAT I DUNNO WHAT SHOULD I DO ANYMORE.....

1. Because, on the thread there (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2305752), in POST#1 it says , in the Instructions, that :We must be running a custom recovery using Jeboo's Recovery from Post#4 which is your Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip

2. But how should I run the Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip RECOVERY, if Im on SafeStrap 3.71 (which is a recovery also)???
3. If i flash Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip, wont that brick (or softbrick) the S4?
4. Or if I flash Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip, will I end up having 2 recoveries? Or will I only end up with having only the Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1 ???

5. In POST#3, it says that:
IF YOUR PHONE HAS MF3/MK2 BOOTLOADERS, YOU MUST RUN THE MF3/MK2 STOCK KERNEL. DO NOT TRY INSTALLING ANYTHING BELOW UNLESS YOU HAVE MDB/MDL BOOTLOADERS THAT SUPPORT LOKI!!

So, should I NOT flash your Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v2_2.zip , since I am on MK2 stock kernel/baseband/bootloader....?

Check it out: http://i.imgur.com/cNWijKF.png

7. I mean, what is BELOW MF3/MK2 and ABOVE MDB/MDL? Because it also says, that: All binaries posted here will be loki'd (as signified by the .lok extension).

SO, keeping in mind that Im on Stock MK2 , but also Im ROOTED via SAFEROOT.zip (as you can see in the pic above: (http://i.imgur.com/cNWijKF.png) , can someone please tell me if I should flash this SHOstock v3.0, and more speciafically, WHICH, IF ANY of you jeboo kernels and Jeboo Recovery should I use?

Can I bug any of you to tell me the exact steps on how to get this SHOstock 3.0 on my i337, if I'm on MK2, rooted, and safestrap-ed?

ANy help would be much appreciated

You're not very familiar with the s4. You're very limited on what you can do with it

Still got SafeStrap ROM...which at this point is 30+ some ROMz...which ain't that bad....considering....
Could of done without the hassle of ONLY SS Romz, much more prefer the CM, PACman, JellyBAM, Paranoid ANdroid, Carbon, AOKP AOSP ROmz...but hey... it's just wasn't in the cards, ya know.....? :cowboy:

Sure i would love to try it, bud...
But can you give me a COMPETE GUIDE of HOW-TO?
Keep in mind, Im on Stock MK2, rooted, safestrap 3.71.
Should I upgrade to NB1 first?
Flash some modules?
Flash some modem?
and compatibility pack?

Once on NB1, can I come back to MK2, just in case?
Some ppl say there is no root, of one is on NB1...is that true?

ANyways, please PM me, or publicly let me know the STEPS....from A to Z

THX, TED!!!!

As another user who came from the i777 forums, the biggest thing that wasn't explicitly stated anywhere that tripped me up was that recovery and kernel are NOT linked. That is, you can flash a custom recovery, e.g. Safestrap (which you seem to have already done) without changing the kernel at all. That allows you to flash custom ROMs via the custom recovery, but limits you to ONLY ROMs that can use the stock kernel (they're usually labeled for Safestrap).

As far as being on MK2, an MK2 bootloader cannot be modified with the Loki exploit, therefore you cannot change the stock kernel and thus your phone will remain locked. Thus, Safestrap is your only option. Devs are working on it, but progress has been pretty slow and SS works well in the meantime. It just kinda bites not having the freedom we used to have, but I can't really complain too much.

Just thought I'd share some useful info :good:

THX for the insightfull info bud...That was very informative! :)
I always loved PACman, AOKP, AoCP on my S2, S3, but this AT&T i337 MK2, with locked bootloader...gave me a headache...but that's why we got SadeStrap, thanks for the great DEVS out there...we appreciate your works, and support you with buying you beers and icetea... because we love ur work, guys! :)
Keep up the good work!
