.rar files are compressed files, they can be extracted.
If you are not familiar with .rar files, download and install the free and open source application 7zip, it handles most compression formats.
Just wanted to say thanks with real words...not just the button. I spent 2 days figuring out the best way to nuke my original SS and root and get OTA'd up to NB1 from ancient MF3 with the original first GS4 working Safestrap version and then rerooted and able to flash new KK ROMs. After 3 different directions through like 10 different posts, THIS ONE was the one that worked. Thank you! I now have rooted NB1 with tehering even. YAY! Now to see what tasty KK ROMS I can run.
I have a GALAXY S4 SGH-i337 running baseband MK2 rooted using the safe root method, I would like to go back to stock, and get kitkat, Would it brick my phone if I used SuperSU's Full unroot, and then took the OTA to AT&T's latest kitkat build?

Also, Will this remove the "custom" icon, as well as any other traces of root? Basically, I would like to go back to complete 100% stock, as If I had just purchased it, as a new device.
Download and run Triangle Away. Then unroot. That will remove the "custom" bootlogo. Or you could not unroot. Because root is awesome.
Hi all, I'm on i337UCUEMK2 4.3, i want up to 4.4.2 . Can I use this method for my S4 ? Thanks all !

There should be no need to first flash the NB1 Full Odin tar when starting from factory stock NC1. The fastest way to rooted, stock NC1 is to flash the NB1toMK2 downgrade tar, root, install safestrap, flash the NC1 100% Stock Rooted ROM then flash the NC1 kernel and you are done.
This is my first root attempt and I kind of understand the process but, where do I get the files? and do I need to flash from nc1 to nb1 or can I start from stock nc1?

You know there has not been to much on the net about this so to find this I am very great full to all who participated.
But I have not rooted a phone before , although I am pretty good with stuff like this, paying a pretty penny for my phone I am to afraid of trying this without having a start to finish tutorial and the links needed to do the root process.
So my Question is if there is anyone kind enough and with the knowledge, that could make a youtube tutorial on exactly how to do this starting from nc1 stock and can also give all the links to everything needed to do so? Thanks to all contributors

Hey guys...
I had a bit of trouble following the instructions in Post 3, (2nd method). I had already soft-bricked upgrading from a previously rooted MK2 using other methods and eventually had to go on to a full NC1 flash (with bootloader) to unbrick. Then I tried following these instructions. Everything went well until flashing the kernel via Odin... at that point I froze in ATT splash animation for half an hour. After trying a few more times, I decided to stop before the kernel flash and it worked fine. I don't know what the other kernel is supposed to provide but I now have...
Rooted S4
Android: 4.4.2
Baseband: I337UCUFNC1
Kernel: 3.4.0-1125940 (dpi@SWDD5916 #1) Dated March 25th
Build: KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
I believe this is the kernel it is supposed to be. Did the ROM get updated with the correct kernel without the instructions for installing the kernel separately getting culled? Is there something about the kernel supplied in the ROM that I should be worried about?
Next step is to freeze AT&T Update so I don't have to worry about them screwing with me again.
I'm guessing that this is for both NB1_Stock and NB1_Stock with tethering ROM? To flash the NB1 KernekModules.zip

Just a quick update: earlier today I got my S4 running rooted and running 4.3 with Safestrap and the Wifi antenna fix. It's been working like a charm, and I can finally get full use out of my phone. The whole process was a bit more agonizing that I was expecting, but the important thing is that now everything works the way I want it to, and I am loving it. You guys are the best. :good:
thanks for that info. i see theres quite a lengthy and technical thread on unlocking. ill have to keep an eye on that. i did manage to find a 2gb sdcard thatll work for now. if xposed works fully, ill be happy for now. but bootloader will need to be unlocked for future updates past kitkat and when att stops providing updates. if i know att, this may be the last update from them...
