[Completed] need help with galaxy s4 after towelroot

I'm new at rooting and searched and searched but couldn't find any answers for some questions I have. I apologize in advance as I know you guys get a million questions most of which are the same. I have an att galaxy s4 and I used towelroot to gain root. Afterwards I tried to install a custom recovery and tried both cwm and the other one (team win something or other) and both installed fine but neither would give me an option to backup anything up. Now when I try to boot into recovery it doesn't give me any options anymore it goes straight to the android logo and says downloading but nothing happens as I let it sit for a very long time and it does nothing. Then if I try and mess with any other buttons it says trying to install a custom Os can cause damage press volume down to cancel. Which I do because there isn't any other option... what am I doing wrong? Anyone with some help would be appreciated thanks in advance

It says I'm too new to post on development threads. How do I check what operating system I have to figure out which version of safestrap I need. My phones build number ends with nc1 if that helps. When reading that post I didn't see any version with the last 3 of my phone

[Completed] [Q] What File Should I use To Debrick My Galaxy S3

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 From At&t Its the I747U I believe. I have Hard Bricked My phone By Trying TO flash Android 4.3 Using Odin and it didn't work to hot.
My Phone originally Had android 4.1.1 before I tried Flashing to 4.3. My question is What De bricking File Should I use one for 4.3 or 4.1.1? or What Should I do? Since I'm a Big Noob Any help or links to the right file would be appreciated Thanks in Advance.
My Phone is a
Galaxy S3
SGH-i747 Says in the back But I'm in the US so i believe its the SGH-i747u too since i think its the same thing
its the 16 GB model if it even matters
Another question for the SD Card should i get a Speed 10 with 16GB or 32GB?

Hi,
Since you have more than one question and also, to be sure what to flash....you can ask for help in your device section...
> AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III > AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Be absolutely sure you are flashing the files made for your specific device.....otherwise you can permanently brick your device. I'm not sure there's a "u" in your device model just because you are in the United States. Better ask about that for sure.
Good luck!

[Completed] [Q] cant understand what version i have and how to update to kitkat

hello i bought galaxy s4 via aliexpress i been told its i9500 but when i tried to update via kies or FOTA it saying that its the last firmware
can you tell me by this info how can i upgrade it to kitkat? and if not how to install custom roms?

It seems like someone did a Frankenstine Operation on the Phone.
Based on the Firmware on there, it appears like this is an International Galaxy S4. If so, please post in [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly. so that we are sure that is the device.
Based on your other Screenshot, your Bootloader is that of AT&T Canada Bell Galaxy S4 North American Version. If so, please post in Stupid Questions Thread - No question too stupid!
It is very crucial to not flash the wrong firmware as that would certainly Brick your Phone for good.
Once correct variant is confirmed, you might be able to get the correct Stock Firmware for your device.
If I really REALLY have to guess, since Product and Device code can be manipulated in the Rom, I'd trust the Bootloader, more to identify what it really is. And in your case that points to AT&T S4.

[Completed] soft bricked samsung galaxy s3 1747 ATT and have tried alot!

Mom here trying to fix my son's phone that he (I'm certain) soft bricked. He attempted to use Odin and not sure he even had the right files. He panicked and disconnected when he started it. It will not go into recovery mode and I get the "encountered an error". I can get it into download mode which I've heard is good but I get fail everytime I try to go back to stock firmware (not even sure I'm saying the right lingo here!). I know I go into Odin 3.07 as administrator. Battery needs to be charged. I know which 2 boxes have to be checked. And Im using I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME. If someone can tell me if there is another file that I"m supposed to be using that would be great. I would really rather do this myself than spend the money at this point. It's a Samsung Galaxys S3 ATT SGH-1747. Any guidance is appreciated!

I wouldn't know I'm afraid. You'd need to ask in the second link maybe. ?
They may all be the same file.. May be... Just different places to download it from.

Which one do I choose from below?
I'm not sure which link I'm supposed to download:

[Completed] Galaxy s4 i337m (Bell) Sim Unlock with latest CM11

HI All
I have Rom'd the latest cyanogenmod (CM11 with android 4.4.4) on my phone. So it's rooted. Now I want to sim unlock. Even though I own the phone, Bell wants to charge me $50.00 to sim unlock it. This is ridiculous, and I refuse to give Bell more money.
So here are the questions I want to ask:
I have android 4.4.4 with CM11 on the phone. I want to downgrade to stock with android 4.2.2 - is there any reason why I can't flash the stock 4.2.2 rom
After I have downgraded, I want to use region lockaway. Then I want to go back to CM11 with Android 4.4.4 - will the sim unlock still be around
Can anyone tell me if doing the above will work?

Hi,
Don't mind the thread title, but you would be best to ask about that here,
