Is there anyway to root it after I get it back to 4.3 stock?

You can it's just more of a pain. This method works: http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-s4-t-mobile-sgh-m919.html?m=1

Were you on 4.3 already when attempting to root or were you still on 4.2.2?

If you're on 4.3, just download the latest CF-autoroot. You can root just like your previous versions. :good:

It doesnt matter if he uses Triangle Away right now, he has TWRP on it. Until he is 100% stock + rooted it will always say modified.

You're completely right. I forgot that he said he was still rooted. Assumed he unrooted at this point.

I'm 100% stock+rooted and it says under status that my phone is custom. Even After using triangle away. If I want to get the OTA update I'm gonna have to ODIN flash a stock firmware.

In triangle away check the box for 'System Modified Workaround', After a reboot it disables root for a few minutes, it should say Official after that.
What kind of recovery do you have? Stock?

Flash stock recovery (I think there is an Odin file floating around) then use triangle away. Should reset you back. The bootloader is running a check on the recovery at boot. If it doesn't match a certain value (I think it checks the signature) then it trips the counter.

Might not even matter, but just in case, do triangle away before you flash to stock. That's the way I've been told to do it, and its safer I guess.

Whoops. I actually responded to this post, buy I guess I quoted it.
To be safe, I'd use triangle away right before you flash you stock ROM. That's the way I was told to do it, and worked without a hitch. Plus, it's way easier.

Quite possibly the easiest thing to find. Use Google or YouTube and type in "how to unroot TMobile S4."
All the instructions give you links to the official stock Roms.

[Q] firmware upgrade encountered

I've tried flashing with Odin the MJ5 bootloader. Also, I've tried flashing the wifi fix supplied from Dr.Ketan, again with no success. In one of those attempts flashing failed, as indicated by Odin. Now all I get is this warning: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
Can't do anything else, no recovery and no download mode. Help?! :/
On which rom were you, when you flashed the bootloader via odin.?

I think you should flash the oficial 4.3 bootloader again.. but i am not sure..
BTW, after you fix this, try chainfire auto-root and not the bootloader patch to root the device

I flashed again the 4.3 andriod rom from India. It started and i think i cannot downgrade back now.
i will stick with 4.3. but i want to root it.
I try to go to download mode, but it does not come instead, it andriod system recovery mode comes every time instead.
it shows option like
-reboot
-apply update from ADB
-apply update from external card
how to i get into download mode
The button combo for download mode is volume_down+power_key+home_key

AT&T GS3 Odin Files

Im trying to odin my phone back to stock because I want to sell it. Ive tried many times using the latest odin version and the android 4.0.4 file. I read somewhere about something like the bootloader being on 4.3 or higher while the software is still on 4.0 and that is a reason why it is not booting past the glowing samsung logo.
Anyways im just looking for a file that contains The Bootloader and PDA file to go into Odin
Thank You
Was your phone ever running a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM? If it was, you can't just Odin back to stock 4.3 because AT&T never released a complete 4.3 ROM. AT&T updated the ROM to 4.3 via OTA updates.

I was running a custom 4.4.2 rom. If that helps at all
Is there an Odin file for the stock 4.0.4 boot loader at all?
To avoid bricking you must verify you don't have the 4.3 bootloader. If you're on a lower version, stock FW is I747UCDLK3 4.1.1

Flash again with Odin but do not check auto reboot. When the firmware has been flashed and you see the word reset, wait about 30 seconds, pull the battery, disconnect the USB cable, boot into recovery, do a factory reset, wipe cache, and reboot.
+1 audit13's advice. If 4.0.4 won't work that way, can you reflash the custom 4.4.2 Rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
All you need is a factory reset from recovery. It's a common problem going from aosp to tw roms. Also, check your gps after it boots. If it doesn't work, Google "alternate gps fix xda" and that will fix you up

How do i flash it? My only choices are Odin and download mode.
You may need to do a factory reset. Then Odin. If no custom rom, factory reset will put u back to stock.

Does Odin have a option to do a full wipe/factory reset?
That may be the only option.
He must have used the wrong root script, like AT&T or Sprint root.

Currently downloading a Stock Rom that's works with Odin, not from sammobile.com because it didn't load up the website.
Hope this will work, if not i don't know what I'll do.

Well i didn't downloaded the Stock Rom, because i thought this one would've work (UVUAMDL Official TAR)
I did it with Odin and failed right away. I don't think this can be fixed. So i quit,unless someone has a ''Way'', but
i doubt it.

You need either 4.3 or 4.4.2, MDL is 4.2.2, it'll never flash, so flash 4.3 or 4.4.2, you can only flash 4.3 if you had that firmware before you attempted to root, if you had the latest update you need 4.4.2!!

How did you manage to get it to 4.2? As far as I know downgrading from official 4.4 firmware WILL brick your phone. There's no way around it. I'm very curious to know how you did it! Thanks in advance!

When I was in 4.4.2 I wanted to root it (of course) but I used the wrong baseband version/file so it messed up. Then it gave me like some type of warning saying (SEANDROID EFORCING) Warranty Bit: Kernel
I told my bro to fox it and he did, idk how he did it but he did. I search up on youtube SEANDROID EFORCING and I guess thats how he managed to save my phone.

That's what happens when you flash a 4.2.2 ROM which you can still do.. that SEANDROID message doesn't prevent anything so there is nothing to bypass.. If you're ok with 4.2.2 then I guess you're good but personally I would prefer to be at least on 4.3.. All you have to do is follow my previous directions
Edit: you could also just flash a 4.3 or 4.4.2 ROM

[Q] Galaxy s4 stuck

I flashed TWRP onto my phone and it went fine and I flashed a rom and it was all going good. But now it's stuck on a screen that says " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again." but when I try to use kies it can't find a device. I've tried flashing a custom recovery again and resetting my phone but I can't get any of that to work. Any tips?

That means you have a knox enabled bootloader and that bootloader is expecting a matching or newer firmware to be flashed.

Try flashing 4.3 or 4.4 from sammobile:

Yes you can still root with cf autoroot. And you will be able to flash a custom ROM.
