before you do anything is this for a phone on the 4.3 ota or a phone going to the ota?
keep in mind if it is on the ota this file will brick the phone. if your going to the ota keep in mind there is a dangerous root that can brick it and there is little to no hope for a boot loader unlock as this phone is almost 3 years old now and the ota is likely the last update it will receive from samsung so if you wish to go to 4.4 based roms that will be impossible if on the ota...

I have NOT taken the ota, nor do I want to, and am still on rooted 4.1.2 with CWM. SDM is frozen. The file you have linked is what I believe to be the easiest way for me to return to 4.1.2 stock via ODIN. All the older ODIN files would require taking OTAs to get back to 4.1.2 and even though I don't think VZW does skip OTAs I'd rather not be taking OTAs at all.
So am I correct in that this file is a one shot ODIN to get back to stock 4.1.2 directly? After which I'd root and still be "free" to do what I want with MY PHONE!!!

If you unzip the file, it should be at least a 1 GB tar (or tar.md5) that you flash in Odin.
Edit: It's compressed, that's why it's a zip. Usually stock image tar files, when compressed, are about 700-800 MB.
If you go to the ota you will be giving up any custom ROMs possibly permanently I would recommend waiting for a custom version of the it's with Knox stripped out. The ota also seems to be buggy from what I read.
You are not liking liquid try hellfire 4.4.2 it is just as fast as the mf1 tw ROM and I have yet to find a bug or issue.
I just got phone yesterday and it's on 4.1.2 vrbmf1. All I want to do is root the phone so I can freeze sdm so I dont' get updated. Can anyone help me? I tried every possible method on every forum and none work for my phone.

Did you try casual root? That works for me every time.
The i337, S4 can be a very difficult device to come to grips with. With each firmware version there are new root methods and recoveries that can be used. The purpose of this guide to try to put all those in one place and provide a basic summary. There are many smarter than I who have done the hard work and I'll try to give them credit in this guide. If I've missed anyone please pm me or post here and I'll correct it.
FULL DISCLOSURE, I DON'T OWN THIS DEVICE AND NEVER HAVE. I JUST KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT. IF THERE ARE ANY ERRORS OR IF SOMETHING CAN BE CLEARER PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
The very first thing you need to know is what bootloader version you're on. To determine that go to menu, settings, more, about device. Look at the last three characters of your baseband or buildnumber. You'll be on either mdb, mdl, mf3, mk2, nb1, or nc1. NOTE, if you’ve flashed a modem your baseband may not reflect the current firmware version. Alternately if you’re rooted, for a definitive answer, in a terminal emulator on your phone type the commands:
su (return)
getprop ro.bootloader (return)
1. You're on MDB or MDL, your bootloader is easily exploited and you can use a common custom recovery, TWRP or CWM with loki. See this excellent guide by @ xBeerdrioDx, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494
2. You're on MF3 or MK2. DON'T TRY TO USE TWRP, CWM, ROM MANAGER, or TWRP MANAGER. My personal recommendation is to upgrade to NB1 (once you upgrade you will not be able to go back). To do that see @muniz_ri stock odin tar's at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223 . You'll need to extract the file using winrar or 7-zip. You'll end up with a .tar.md5 file. Use that in odin's PDA slot or AP slot if you're using odin 3.09. For odin I'd use this, http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...=9V2YMclcePs8PugxewUhmw&bvm=bv.73231344,d.b2U
NOTE: Using odin will wipe your device so backup everything up on your internal sd card that you want to keep to your PC.
To root, install Safetrap and flash your rom:
If you've used the rootable version to upgrade your firmware you can boot into your device and use towelroot to root it. Towelroot by @geohot can be found here. https://towelroot.com
Now download and install chainfire’s supersu apk from the play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
Use Safestrap 3.72 as your custom recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
Before installing safestrap go to the play store and install SELinux Mode Changer, grant it root access and change mode to “permissive”, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux&hl=en
Flash your rom and the nb1 modules, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=17227 Thanks to @guut13
NOTE: you can only use the stock rom slot
3. You’re on NB1. DON'T TRY TO USE TWRP, CWM, ROM MANAGER, or TWRP MANAGER. I’d take the OTA to NC1 which is rootable. Use towelroot to root and Safestrap 3.72, see above, but flash the nc1 modules.
4. You’re on NC1. DON'T TRY TO USE TWRP, CWM, ROM MANAGER, or TWRP MANAGER. Use towelroot to root and Safestrap 3.72, see above, but flash the nc1 modules
5. You’re on NI1. DON'T TRY TO USE TWRP, CWM, ROM MANAGER, or TWRP MANAGER. Use this by @muniz_ri http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-root-i337ucufni1-t2881298
And the most important link I can give you is the great work of @guut13 which is mandatory reading for everyone on the i337, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
Thank you so much for posting this! You really ron the fear out of it for me.
Recoverable or brick?
I am so very bummed I did not come across this thread before I jumped feet first into playing with my new S4. Suffice it to say I did not know of the pitfalls involved, nor was I aware of the different S4 iterations.
I did not pay close attention to any of the things I was supposed to note. I know it's an i337 from ATT and that it was running 4.4.2. I rooted using towelroot and then tried to install TWRP using their interface available on Play marketplace. When I rebooted, I found that I was stuck in Odin mode. Having very quickly come up to speed on the complexities address in the OP, I'm going to try using the 4.4.2 Odin OTA all in one linked above to bring everything back to stock. Odin does connect and recognize the phone.
My question is...is there any hope this might work? I have no idea if I'm on MDB, MK2, MF3 or NB1. No way for me to find out that I know of.
Thanks!

Thank you so very much for saving me from myself. It worked! It took a long time to download but once I had it the process went off without a hitch. 30 minutes later I had it rooted again, but I think I'll hold off on trying any new ROMs and just use Titanium to remove the bloatware and stick with what I have.

Just freeze bloat ware on titanium, don't delete it. That way if you freeze something that's needed you can simply unfreeze it

When you say lose at&t service are you referring to your warranty, if so, yes if you're rooted when you go in for service. To root, just download the towelroot app. That's the only step by step you need.
Before you root ask your self why are you rooting. If you don't have a good answer then don't root. Don't do it just because you can.

This is odd. I flash back to stock from being rooted, had to take the phone to verizon. I got home, did a factory reset, rooted with pingpong, loaded my apps. Then woke up this morning asking me to install this AOE2 update.
Any idea why it's asking to install? I also thought being rooted stop OTA updates.

No, rooting alone will not stop update requests. Either go into system/apps and rename SDM.apk to SDM.apk.bak or get titanium backup and freeze system updates 1.0
Some Roms will have this disabled but stock wouldn't.
Thanks!, but any idea why it wants to install an old update?

Yes. But be careful about the update after that. It might not have root.
Use pingpong6 Hit get root. When supersu comes up, hit install. It will say it can't. Pingpong will come back up. Hit the download files button. Then it will say try again. Do it and you will be asked to reboot. A little different than OC3.
Now if I install the update and turns out I cannot root again. couldn't i just flash back to AOC3 and root. Or do these updates apply a firmware or something that will stay after flashing back?
thanks again

OE2 will root After that it is not known. Not everyone can flash back to an earlier firmware like we can. After OE2, who knows?
You can't go back I'm pretty sure
But you can root OE2. The update after will not be rootable by pingpong. A new exploit will need to be found to get root

I'm running the stock deodexed Rom by gunthermic. I have the 3minit battery mod installed. Can it be installed on his odexed rom? Can you even decompile an odexed rom?
So I was looking at the clean rom. It mentioned Knox removed. Does that mean that installing this rom, knox will not be tripped? then If i have to have warranty work I can load the stock rom back and be fine?

None of the Roms on our Verizon site will trip knox. Nobody would install them if they did.
Ok, so this is my first device with a locked boot loader, and the concept of flash fire is completely foreign to me. I couldn't find a good guide that answered my question, so here goes nothing...
I was able to root of1 using king root. Got super su working, and installed flash fire. Now, my question is am I able to flash a Rom if it's based on OE1?

I wouldn't try. I'm not a developer, but from what I've read there isn't any back-flashing from of1 without bricking.

Yea, that was my fear too.
But from what I think I know about flashfire, it doesn't touch the bootloader, just the /system partition.
I also think that all the brick-related warnings were if you tried to flash an earlier build through odin/download mode. If Flashfire is just flashing a ROM on /system I would think there would be no brick issues.
Perhaps this is a question better aimed at a developer, as I'm only guessing here.
But I GUESS, going from OF1 to OE2 would be substantially similar as going from OE2 to OC3. Right?
Can anyone else confirm that they have OF1 and are able to root?
...or, is anyone else still on OF1?

Kingsroot doesn't support 920V.
seriously guys.. i don't think Vzw and AT&T s6 community would keep something like rooting OF1 an unannounced story.
I used Kingroot within the last 1-2 weeks to get root on my S6 running OF1. I then got SuperSU up and running, verified with root checker, Terminal Emulator, and have been using Titanium Backup to freeze/delete tons of bloatware.
There is a dev (elliwigy) willing to build a ROM based on OF1, but is looking for verification of root from other users first. Thread here If you have OF1 and are able to root please let me know and comment in the thread too.
So... Nobody else running OF1, huh?
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
I think it's because people don't want to trip Knox which is why no one is responding. When King Root was released, people stayed away from it mostly because that reason.
As far as I can tell, knox has not been tripped.

You can download to previous bootloaders if you take the OTA to PD1. I'm not rooted and had a problem with my bluetooth on PD1. I didn't wanna lose my hotspot mod so I wanted to downgrade to OK3 and then take the OTAs to PC3 and then PD1. Here are the steps I used:
1. If on PD1 reboot to Recovery and wipe factory reset however many times you see fit. I only did it once.
2. Reboot to Download Mode and flash PC3 tar file via Odin
3. Once phone reboots to Welcome Screen power phone off by pressing and holding Power button
4. Reboot to Download Mode and flash OK3 via Odin
5. Once phone reboots it will sit at splash screen
6. Reboot to Recovery and wipe Factory Reset however many times you see fit. I did this once.
7. Let phone reboot and Profit

If I can downgrade on Verizons supposedly locked bootloaders, then you should be able to do it with Sprint because they're not as tough on the bootloader locking like Verizon is.

I'd like to know as well. I'm sick of seeing this dumb update icon and message. I'm stock and haven't rooted yet (still deciding on Samsung Pay) but might want to at some point.
Im on PD1 on my unrooted, never been rooted Note 5. Ill test it for everybody. Gimme an hour and ill be back with good info.

Yes. I just checked the downgrade from PD1 to PC3. It was just fine. So i checked the downfrade to OI6 and had no problems with it either. I think i had repartition checked when i started this thread. That is the only logical explanation. Yes... you can down grade afterall. I stand corrected in myself. One thing to note is that after the downgrade you have to factory reset in recovery, or it just keeps bootlooping.

Thanks for your confirmation. Good to learn that I can downgrade anytime I feel like

IF you take the PD1 update you won't be able to revert to previous bootloaders. It contains nothing interesting except security enhancements. It is only 28mb and does nothing good for us modders.
