Actually no I never said you didn't have to got back to stock, what I said was that the lte problems may have more to do with installing a leak first. Its already been discussed that the ma5 and lk8 leaks did some base firmware modifications storing information in alternate locations. That is going to possibly cause problems if the new update goes back to the old locations to store its firmware data. As it is not all going to be rewritten as this rom apparently doesn't have some of the firmware. Now I want to point out that I am calling this a hypothesis I don't have the knowledge to check this out I simply am floating a theory for someone with the skills to do so.

Did I know that before? No I floated an idea got new information and came up with a better hypothesis it is called the scientific process.

Now if you bothered to read previous posts I had a conversation with the rom creator in which he saw I had caught the kernel he included and that was included in Rogerws update zip was the OLD kernel.

How do I know? Go to the update.zip original posting on the general page and fing look at the posted screen shots of the official completed update version numbers. The kernel included here and the official kernel build numbers DO NOT MATCH. Suprise I did actual research before opening my mouth and making an initial hypothesis. I can't program but if you go through my posts and the people I have helped with themes and roms over the years I CAN BETA TEST and I am DAMN good at it because I'm through as hell.

I had no problems when I had simply installed this rom over stock rooted ljc other then my kernel number didn't change. I couldn't test lte because the closest state with it is 3 hours away from me. Some people in this very thread have updated like I did AND found lte to work. Hence the hypothesis that the problem lies is the modified firmware layout in the leaks.

Now how do I know where the kernel problem came from for sure? Because I went back to stock and then updated from rwilcos file. Guess what at that point i checked the filenumbers ITS KERNEL NUMBERS ARE INCORRECT! THEY DO NOT MATCH THE POSTED SCREEN SHOTS FOR THE OFFICIAL OTA UPDATE. So the problem appears to have started from rwilcos file. The build date on the kernel meant to fix the exynos exploit should be 2013 not 2012. You are not exploit proof with a old kernel, from what I understand, meaning your information would leave people here open to attack.

Do I care? Am I pointing fingers? NO I am simply helping people make sure they have the correct firmware and file information.

So once again STOP GIVING OUT BAD INFORMATION. Either help people or get out of the way.

Once again people right now if you are wanting the correct best kernel and don't want to download the official ota via sprint use Garwynns kernel its build numbers seem to match with the current numbers.

Someone pointed out that this room may not have the tz and other firmware bits. So I would suggest going back to stock ljc and then using rwilcos update. Rooting again then installing this rom and finally installing Garwyns kernel.

That all said I am a bit worried rwilcos update file may not have all the firmware bits either. Does anyone that has ripped it apart on a programmer level know for sure?

Thanks
