The following is not a root method in the "traditional" sense, e.g. Saferoot, Kingo. This is a workaround to our inability to root KitKat 4.4.2. However the end result is a Fully Functioning, 100% Stock, Rooted, NB1 Device. (See Post# 2 for "KeepRoot"OTA.zip Method). Proceed at Your Own Risk! (Thanks to @ted77usa @rebel1699 @Maribou @dave5777 @dolph8886 @Surge1223 @jeboo for discoveriing it was possible to downgrade from MK2 to NB1. Special thanks to @rebel1699 for figuring out how to flash a 4.4 SS Custom ROM on our device. Without them this workaround would not be possible).
**Closing my thread now that a direct rooting method is available. Congrats to Everyone mentioned above for your accomplishments while we waited for this!** : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
**Note**: The process below has been proven to work without exception when the instructions are followed to the letter. Should you run into trouble please consider re-reviewing the instructions to identify your error before requesting assistance. Thank you.
Get the latest I337 firmware here: I337UCUFNC1
Donations Welcome!
Here it is: I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM
And here: I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROMwBL (This version contains the NB1 bootloader. MK2 bootloader users will not be able to go back to factory stock MK2 after flashing).
1. Place the I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM in the root of your ext sdcard.
*2. Download the I337_Downgrade_to_MK2 file, extract the .tar and flash in PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+) to obtain semi-functioning(no-wifi) MK2.
3. Use your favorite root method to root MK2, e.g. Saferoot, Kingo Root App, then install the latest Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk.
4. Boot into Safestrap recovery, perform an "Advanced Wipe", and wipe everything except ext sdcard.
5. Flash the ROM zip in the "Stock Slot." Once complete press "Home," then reboot into "Download Mode".
6. Flash the I337_NB1_Stock_Kernel in PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+).
*MK2 users can skip Step 2.
Once complete the phone will apply an update to cache, then reboot and pause on the white AT&T splash screen for about 1-2 minutes before completely rebooting. Done!
- MK2 users can use Safestrap's Backup/Restore function to backup and restore User Data prior to and after flashing the ROM. Make sure and thank @loganfarrell for discovering this very useful feature.
- In general, to flash a different 4.4.2 Safestrap Custom ROM after flashing this ROM reboot into Safestrap recovery, perform an advanced wipe, and wipe everything but ext sdcard. Then flash the new ROM in the "Stock Slot" and reboot (Refer to the other ROM's dedicated thread for any additional requirements or for assistance. Please limit the discussion in this thread to the 100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM and the KeepRoot OTA zip).
- To go back to factory stock, un-rooted NB1 flash the NB1 4.4.2 Stock Odin .tar in the PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+).
- Those that never took the MK2 to NB1 update can return to factory stock MK2 by flashing the MK2 All-in-One Full Odin .tar in PDA slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Known Issue: MK2 bootloader users will experience a lockscreen settings issue. The issue can be resolved by flashing the FMLD_Bootloader in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+). You will still be able to revert back to factory stock MK2. Caution!: NB1 & NC1 bootloader users should not flash this file as it may hardbrick your phone.
I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_TetherAddOn
Instructions:
1. After flashing and booting into I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM,
2. Place the AddOn in ext sdcard.
3. Reboot into Safestrap recovery and flash the AddOn in Stock Slot (Do Not Wipe Prior to Flashing)
4. Reboot. Done!
I337UCUFNB1_MK2-to-NB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip Method
This alternative "Keep Root" method uses a modified version of the official MK2 to NB1 OTA Update.zip to upgrade while maintaining User Data and Root Access! The file is flashed in Safestrap and the end result is a 100% Stock, Rooted, NB1 Device. Proceed at your own risk! Thanks to @jeboo for giving me the idea to develop this method!
**Prerequisite** This method requires that your MK2 system is 100% stock except for root and Safestrap. The update will fail if any MK2 system files have been modified or deleted, e.g. thru Xposed, etc. You must first restore the stock files or reflash back to stock MK2 and re-root.
Here it is: I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip
And here: I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTAwBL.zip (This version contains the NB1 bootloader. MK2 bootloader users will not be able to go back to factory stock MK2 after flashing).
1. Place the I337UCUFNB1_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip in the root of your ext sdcard.
2. Follow steps 2 - 3 from Post# 1 to downgrade to MK2, root, and install the latest Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk .
3. Boot into Safestrap recovery but Do Not Wipe!.
4. Flash the I337UCUFNB1_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip in the "Stock Slot" and once complete press "Home" and reboot into "Download Mode".
5. Last, flash the I337_NB1_Stock_Kernel in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Once complete the phone will reboot to the white AT&T splash screen then "optimize apps" before completely rebooting. Done!
Known Issue: Safestrap.apk will force close after updating to 4.4.2 using this method, however Safestrap recovery will continue to function. Optional: to manually uninstall Safestrap recovery use Es File Explorer to delete system/etc/safestrap and system/bin/e2fsck then rename system/bin/e2fsck.bin to e2fsck (save these files if you wish to manually reinstall Safestrap at a later time).
I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_TetherAddOn
Instructions:
1. After flashing and booting into I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM,
2. Place the AddOn in ext sdcard.
3. Reboot into Safestrap recovery and flash the AddOn in Stock Slot (Do Not Wipe Prior to Flashing)
4. Reboot. Done!
Nice bro. Easy to follow and all. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the issues people are having.

@muniz_ri ur saying here to put the file in the PDA slot correct which mean using odin3 v 1.85 correct. If so that might be my problem in the past with this down grade method I used odin3 v 3.09 and flashed the pit and AP files from @ted77usa downgrade method. Do you think that could be my problem. And again thank you so much for all your help lately I know it has to be annoying but thank you so much for walking me through so much stuff because of you I feel very confident in doing this so thank you for all your help. Also thanks you to all the other dev's that I have been such a pain in the but to hahah

No problem. I believe Odin changed the name of the PDA slot to AP in version 3.09. I use version 3.08 but whichever version you use you don't need to add the pit file. Just follow the above process to the letter and you should be fine. Good luck.

You can skip step 2. Also, place the rom in the root of your ext sdcard. OP updated. Thanks
ok ok. i think i messed up,,, I installed safe root instead of safe strap is it the same? should i unnstall? and how do i boot into it.
ok got it .. figured it out.
You need safe root to install safestrap. After you use saferoot, install the safestrap apk and launch the safestrap app.

**You can begin the following process from any 4.4.x Build/ROM or higher but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW.
**Caution!** The following process is only for the AT&T I337 S4 Variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
Downloads:
- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip
- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM.zip
Attention! Set your screen timeout to 10mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set Reboot setting to "Download."
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the I337_OK2_Bootloader.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA/AP slot. Done!
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the AT&T splash screen for about 1 - 2 minutes (15 - 20 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional:
- I337_OK2_TetherAddOn.zip
- I337_OC3_Batch_Debloater (Customizable)
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Awesome
Amazing! you done it again @muniz_ri downloaded and installed perfectly!
Is there a way to root without having to flash back to nj4? I'm already on OC3 and a non-odin method like on nj4 would be pretty nice.
muniz_ri said:
Instructions:
1. Extract the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup from the .rar archive and place it into the following folder: ext-sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxx, fyi...the name of this folder will vary. If the folder does not already exist you must first use safestrap to create a nandroid backup and Safestrap will create the folder for you.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Wipe" then "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
3. From the main menu press "Restore," then select and restore the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup.
4. Once complete from the main menu press "Reboot," then reboot into "Download" mode.
5. Last, flash the I337_OC3_Stock_Partitions using Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+) and reboot. Done!
Upon reboot the Safestrap Recovery splash screen will flash a few times before pausing on the AT&T splash screen for about 2 minutes before completely rebooting. **You will no longer be able to access Safestrap Recovery from 5.0 (see notes below for workaround)**
Optional Tethering AddOn:
1. Place the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn onto your ext-sdcard.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Install," then select and install the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn(Do not wipe prior to flashing!).
3. Reboot. Done!
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. This process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC3 (BusyBox is also pre-installed).
3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to 5.0. However you can access Safestrap recovery by flashing back the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel (reflash the I337_OC3_Stock_Kernel once you are done using Safestrap).
4. The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!

Rooting tools just puts everything on your sd card that you may need if you have to start all over. TR root BusyBox And SuperSu And Safstrap. It also install SafeStrap And the SafeStrap without odin apk on your current rom. Just click on Safestrap Icon grant SuperSu access and make sure Safestrap is installed . Then click on the SafeStrap Reboot app and click flash grant SuperUser access when prompted. Then click on the reboot to safestrap box. The phone will reboot toSafeStrap without having to use odin to flash a kitkat kernel. Then you can flash your rom. Then after you flash your rom you will need to flash the Lollipop Stock kernel zip located on your External SD card and Internal SD in a folder called .1Stock_Kernel_Zip it should be the first folder at the top of the list. Install the zip that matches your firmware. Then click reboot system. No need to use odin. The above process is if your on a Lollipop Rom already. If on a kitkat rom you will need to reboot to safestrap flash rom then reboot to download mode and flash firmware
SafeStrap app in the S5 root folder says it installs. Tap reboot to recovery button just reboots. What is "SafeStrap Reboot app"? This isn't making much sense here at all
Alright so, I'm a bit new at this part since I JUST got my phone rooted finally. What the difference between this and your BOC4?
Just flashed this last night coming from kk clean flash I didn't have time to play with it till this morning I noticed don't have the video call option anyone else having this.? I have it activated since this option was available for our phone

Ok this happened to me also. The only way I got it to work was this. I put the BOD5 full factory image on my internal sd card and used flashfire and flashed the system image and the cache image and the boot image added a wipe to wipe data injected root. I also had it flash the SuperSU zip 2.49 just incase the inject root didnt work Once the rom installed I activated video calling it then worked. Then I used flashfire again did a full wipe and flashed this rom and its worked ever since. I think there must be something in the cache image that triggers it and once its triggerd its fine. There might be a better way but I cant get it to do it again so I even odin back to NCG firmware and started over and when I flashed BOD5 rom and firmware video calling worked right out of the hat. Maybe dirty flashing over BOC4 then making sure video calling works then reinstalling with a full wipe might also work

You have to use the SafeStrap Reboot app to reboot to SafeStrap not the SafeStrap App. The SafeStrap Reboot App Actually flashes the NI2 kernel without using odin. Then if you installed the rooting tools for sd BOD5 zip you will have a folder on your sd card named 1.Stock_Kernel_Zip it should be the very first folder in the list. Inside that folder is the Stock kernel you will need to flash in safestrap to reboot back to rom. Just flash the Stock_Kernel_Zip and then click reboot now or reboot system from safestrap.

I didnt think there was alot at first but after looking through it there are alot of changes especially in the Video Calling And HD calling framework. I think Verizon must be getting ready to add calling over wifi because there is some of that framework in there as well

would you create a file folder in the OP so that we can be able to do this step by step please? PS I am using SS not flashfire so if you would include this options in this matter too that would really be great.

You cant flash a firmware file with safestrap only flashfire
**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
Downloads:
- G900V_PF4_Stock_ROM.zip (For "Locked" Bootloaders - Unrooted)
- G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_ROM.zip (For "Locked" Bootloaders - Unrooted)
- G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!)
- G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!)
Instructions for "Locked" Bootloaders:
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" setting to "Download."
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the **flash.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the G900V_PF4_Bootloader using Odin's PDA/AP slot.
**The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition.
Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Verizon splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (10 - 15 mins for deodexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Instructions for "Unlocked" Bootloaders: (Your Knox Warranty Bit will be tripped!)
1. Use the following guide however the above ROM's for "Unlocked" Bootloaders are pre-"system rooted," therefore there is no need to flash the SuperSu .zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Notes:
1. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Recovery, and Bootloader.
2. Native tethering is enabled on all of the ROM's.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically wipe User Data.
4. The Debloated version has all Google, most Verizon, and all Knox apps removed.
5. If you do not already have root access follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
6. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Use FF's backup function to backup then restore your data after flashing.
Confirmed that after about 7min on the VZW boot animation, the deodexed version works just fine.
I wonder how long we'll get away with using the OD5 bootloader. lol.

Use Odin's PDA or AP slot depending on Odin version used.

This strikes me as very important information that should be included in the steps before it instead of being a footnote. Can anyone clarify the complete steps/process? Also, any idea what the changelog is?
EDIT: I'm on the rooted OD5 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900vod5-5-0-keeproot-t3136945 Just trying to make head or tail of the instructions in this post. Do I need to flash the OD5 bootloader since I'm already on OD5, or what?
I'm a little confused why the first 3 steps in the FlashFire process is necessary (Google+ signup part) when you include the link for v19 just below, am i missing something here? Also, not being familiar with FlashFire, once i flash OE1 will i be given the option to boot into download mode to Odin the OD5 bootloader? I'm coming from OC4 so order is crucial here I'd imagine. Another also, i generally like deodexed roms, any caveats associated with this one? advanced voice features? My Verizon access? Thanks

I left the links to the FF thread for reference as it contains good discussion re: FF's progress.
As for the bootloader instructions, I will add the steps to the instructions. I mistakenly assumed most people already had that level of understanding.
And the deodexed version is only intended for those that plan to use xposed or themes. If you do not plan on doing either use the regular rom.

Although I would recommend just following the backup/restore method as it is faster and safer, you could open the ROM with Winzip/7zip, navigate through the META-INF folder until you get to the updater-script, then open it with Notepad, and remove this part of the script:
package_extract_file("wipedata.sh", "/tmp/wipedata.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/wipedata.sh");
run_program("/tmp/wipedata.sh");
then save the file and if you used Winzip, close the program and choose "Update Zip file with changes". If you used 7zip, when you close Notepad, it will ask if you want to update the file in the archive and just choose "Okay".

I noticed you mentioned if you already are on OC4 then you do not need to boot into Download mode, if I wanted to upgrade the bootloader to OD5 could I boot into download anyways and upgrade to OD5 (kill 2 birds with 1 stone kinda thing?)

How to "downgrade" to Kitkat on lollipop (PB1 bootloader) NCG Safestrap Working
If you took the OTA for lollipop (PB1) you are no longer able to downgrade to any version of kitkat with a standard tar it will fail because of a tripped qfuse but this way you can pretty much downgrade to kitkat. You will just have PB1 bootloader.
FYI I did this on a CID 11 locked bootloader Verizon S5

-Open flashfire grant it root access then click the plus in the bottom right hand corner and click flash firmware package choose the NCGStocktar.md5
-make sure boot, recovery, system and cache are selected make sure modem firmware and firmware are unchecked then click the checkmark
-look for process cache click it and uncheck Enable and allow cache wipe then click the check mark
-click everroot and uncheck inject SuperSu
-then click Reboot and choose Download
- then click the plus again and choose wipe make sure System Data, 3rd Party apps, dalvik cache, cache partition, cache partition format
-Click and hold on wipe and drag it above flash firmware package
-then click flash and click ok when it says it will go black for a second if its black for more than a minute pull the battery and retry
3.
-once in download mode open Odin on PC (if it doesnt go to download and attempts to boot pull battery and manually go into download)
-verify the device shows up under ID:COM
-now click options and uncheck auto reboot
-now choose NCG stock kernel in ap slot and click start this will flash the kitkat kernel
-when its done unplug the phone from the computer and pull the battery
-then when the battery is back in hold volume down, home and power all together until you see download mode
-click reset in odin then select the NCG Stock Modem in ap slot then click start
-when odin is finished the device should reboot and attempt to boot kitkat
4.
-when kitkat is booted download towelroot from the phone or copy it from the pc to your phone and install the apk
-open towel root and click make it rain it should say no reboot required
-now download supersu from playstore
-open it and click update su binary then click reboot
-now donwload busybox from the play store and install it
-now download the safestrap NCG apk file install it open it and accept the license agreement now click install safestrap
-then click reboot to recovery it should reboot your phone to safestrap

Nice work and GREAT Thread to start for one's that don't know of this or the experience to do so or of completely the 'how-to-do'...:good:
What is the reason for Safestrap in this case? Is it necessary for just the downgrading to 4.4?
I used Safestrap some time ago to load a second rom on my S3. Does Safestrap have the same purpose for the S5?
Thank you very much. This is clearly written and should be easy to follow if I need to do so.

Been searching for other possibilities, finding only dead links to AFH.
AFH search for "ncg" shows:

20140409_G900V-NCG_MODEM_NON-HLOS.tar.md5
NCG_Firmware_No_Bootloaders_V3.zip
Hmm, AFH search engine is quirky. Search for "NCG_Firmware" includes:
VRU1ANCG_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5
AFH search for G900V_NCG includes:
G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
I'm hoping/guessing that (please correct me if I'm wrong):
"NCG Modem" [file from OP] = 20140409_G900V-NCG_MODEM.tar.md5
"NCG Kernel" = G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
NCG_Firmware_No_Bootloaders_V3.zip does not contain a tar, but directions in OP indicate firmware should be flashed via flashfire (vs odin for others), so I'm assuming that this can be flashed instead. So:
"NCG Stock Tar" = NCG_Firmware_No_Bootloaders_V3.zip
Will these work? If yes I will post links to files.

I suggested searching for "ancg", not for "ncg".
You were supposed to find G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_G900VVRU1ANCG_HOME.zip - a stock firmware file.
Additional search for modem and kernel is not necessary because you can easily pull them from this stock firmware and pack into tar-files.
7zip will do this for you under Windows.
P.S.
Hmm, AFH search engine is quirky.

It looks quirky, probably.
But as a good search engine it should index all those filenames somehow.
I suspect that it splits filenames in letter/non-letter points and indexes all those parts after this.
At least, this theory explains why searching for "ncg" and "ancg" produce completely different results.

I did search for "ANCG" and I did find G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_G900VVRU1ANCG_HOME.zip.
I downloaded it and opened zip to see if it had separate tar files for modem and such. It's just one tar file, and given that I didn't know it was option to pull out individual components and tar them (nor do I know how to do this as I don't know file locations/names), I figured it wasn't correct file...
