I Just tried to update to nae. I followed all steps But noticed a problem when the hot spot fix wouldn't work. I looked at my device and my software version and baseband version still said mk2?!?! Build number was nae... anyone here know what that means? ?

**just nnotice that my wifi doesn't work either... did I miss something? ??

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 AM ----------

fixed the problem, just had to reload the NAE modem through odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
Had the same issue with the modem too. Reflashed and all is good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] eheilner:
long boot time

after flashing the modem it takes my phone like 2-5 min to get off the Samsung loading screen everything things to be working fine but no wifi. Is anyone else having this issues or found an fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] evolishesh:
Where can I get the stock non-rooted 4.4.2 Tar? I've looked everywhere and found it but it fails every time starts to download. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
i saw this question before but didn't see an answer. With MF9 bootloader and NAE can we update to latest Philz or do we need to stay on 6.089
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calikevin:
I rooted my girlfriends S4 using CF-AutoRoot while it had the MK2 bootloader and firmware on it, is there any way to get this update now or am I screwed? Can I use Odin to go back to MF9 then follow the directions in the OP or will that not work now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
Just download the NAE full tar file and install it using Odin 3.07 or newer. Than reroot using cf autoroot. The best place to download the tar file is in random45's thread in the android development thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] butterbuns:
Ya im having the same issue, even waking the phone up take a couple mins, Also wifi is off too.. thats the bigger problem.. lol

Actually now that ive been messing with it now, my touch screen comes and goes, seems to not want to work at all, also phone just goes to sleep on its on and or just goes to the lock screen passcode for no reason..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calikevin:
Are you talking about ODIN firmwares? I could only find an NAE modem, there is no AIO file for NAE in that thread that I could find

Since your phone is already on mk2 bootloader, the best way is to Odin the full NAE tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Suntar:
Well I am having the same issues but with more added.

1. Long boot up time

2. Very laggy or poor response going from screen to screen

3. No Sound what so ever. No ringing but will vibrate when I get a call, can't answer the phone no screen with answering options

4. No wifi

5. No hot spot

6. Screen goes off and takes a long time for me to get is back on. All in all I would call this a complete bust.

I followed the video step by step and have done this twice and the 3rd time just followed the instructions. I had CWM backups and Philz won't see them and or any backup I have on the phone or SD card. I was on MDL and flashed to MF9 and followed the video so if anyone has anything that can help I would love to hear is so I don't have to go get a new phone. I can't get CWM since nothing is working to get my backups since Philz isn't doing a thing for me at this point. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] butterbuns:
Ya im there too now, all the same issues, even a few others.. Im thinking about flashing the full NAE with knox just to get out of this.. Ive tried redoing everything, i never got any error or anything.. So im not sure what is going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Suntar:
Don't go full NAE just wait I am sure we will get a answer today. Actually it is my day off today and no phone calls or texts seems pretty good right now. Not to mention if you do use the full NAE we aren't sure if that will solve the problem so I am going to wait. If you do the FULL keep us posted on the results and good luck...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] butterbuns:
Hard to wait my phone will not do anything.. not make or received calls, texts,.. It will notify me after the call that i missed one.. Ya i really don't want to do the stock NAE but ill try and hold off.

Is it our MF9 bootloader doing this? Is it right that most of the 4.4 and 4.3 roms wont work with MF9? Is that why we are having this issue? I was kinda expecting a problem with wifi but i didnt care much since i get lte all around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] eheilner:
MF9 bootloader isn't whats doing it. I'm sure its the 4.4.2 rom I been reading on sprint forms ppl having problems with it and it being a disaster. I tryed 4.4 NAE with real bad luck so i tryed 4.3 MK2 with MF9 bootloader and everthing is running smooth.

had a side question for anyone, did the update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 lose the toggle data in the notification panel? I don't see it anywhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] butterbuns:
Update: Ok so i downloaded and installed the MK 4.3 Stock(ish) v06 Rom and now everything is not working.. i have wifi and data working now.. phone calls in and out no go, still real slugglish and wakeing it works 40% of the time

But im running 4.3 and not 4.4.2 but at least im back up and running.. and didnt have to flash knox

noticed (not sure if related) but my TB restore file went from over 400+ app to 60 now.. so i can not view or restore alot of apps.. Now my TB folder on my phone is still huge so the data is in there i just cant view it through TB..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Suntar:
I just redid my MDL modem and I have sound back and the MK2 files seem to be working a bit but still no wifi and hotspot which stinks because I use my phone for internet and threw out my local cable co. I also kicked Philz to the curb (never liked it but thats just me) reinstalled clock works and it is letting me restore as we speak a old back up that I use all the time so hopefully I will be back to normal as well soon. I will let u know what happnes BB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calikevin:
Ah thanks, I was looking here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2338919

Is there a knox free version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] butterbuns:
im stitting here with the full stock NAE loaded in odin, my phone in download mode and my cursor over the start button.. just trying to work up the nerve to hit start.. ugh

in my mind this should correct my problems, not sure i really care anymore about the knox bull****.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Suntar:
Well I got my phone back to where it was just had to do the MDL modem and then removed Plilz so I could use my backups and reinstall CWM. I will wait before I have anything to do with knox and this taught me the leson about that. Just wait until someone comes up with a better rom or works the bugs out of this one. I also learned another thing here as well. I generally read all or most of the posts but for some reason I just looked on the first page saw the instructions and started d/l the files without reading about the problems but lesson learned. Good luck BB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] butterbuns:
Well i tried downgrading back to MF9 and still had issues.. ended up doing the full stock NAE update and then it was even worse.. i actaully took it to a sprint store and they had to flash the update to the phone.. so im back up and running got 4.4.2 NAE modem Knoxx (ugh).. im not not rooted.. about to cf auto root it and put philz on so i can get back to putting my apps on if they are visiable to TB..

That sucked..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Glad ☺
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
Yes, still up and running, not a single issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
Me too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SixSixAtl:
Same here. I'm now on KT's 0319 kernel and everything is fine. I have also tested out the latest version of both TWRP and Philz and both seem to work fine although I prefer TWRP. In an effort to troubleshoot why my screen rotation wasn't working, I followed Mudavo's guide to the letter and reinstalled NAE a second time and still have no issues (after more research I subsequently discovered that screen rotation quit working because I deleted the Samsung Hub apk).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Suntar:
Sorry to hear you had to do that BB. I just found out that I am deodex and I thought I was odex so with me that might have been my problems with everything messed up. I was messing around with android tuner and saw under ROM system deodex which totally surprised me since I just rooted my phone and never did anything else to it. Maybe when I used the NAE or whatever but when I get home this evening I am going to retry it all with deodex and see if it does anything different or just plan works (hope so). Glad you got your phone working again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chiefho70:
Worked great for me no problems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tenaciousj:
Had some issues since doing this. NAE was laggy and unresponsive so I flashed back to MK2. Works decent but can no longer update profile or PRL due to errors 407 or 6602. Flashed back and forth between MF9, MK2 and NAE modems and wifi no longer works on any modem except MK2 (might be due to just being on MK2 rom). Never had a issue updating profile or prl before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] eheilner:
i would try a data wipe and start over ##72786# but note that this will wipe an unlock and re-lock the phone. also for safety i would wright down you MDN MSID. I have done this reset a lot and you don't always need it but sometimes you do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tenaciousj:
I did try ##72786# but not with data wipe first. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sykox2:
edit: wrong thread sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dougrun:
took 2 tries to get the modem to stick but this works. a lot of my apps on the sd card are not showing up though, just ghost icons. radio and wifi work fine, phoneinfo reports mf9 bootloader, and nae for the rest. Superuser detected knox and asked to disable it and said successful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jonmcginnis:
Up and Running

Thank you Mudavo! I followed your instructions in the OP to the letter and all seems to be running smooth as silk. FYI, I was coming from MK2 Stockish (v3) with Unknownforce's Knox-free MK2 firmware. After completing this NAE upgrade I noticed Samsung knox, so I flashed the TRueClean No KNOX zip just in case. Now that stuff appears to be outa there. Probably could have just deleted manually...not sure what was entailed in the trueclean zip, but I just did it anyway ~. Hotspot tested and also working like a champ. No apparent read/write issues with SD card after flashing the fix.

Anyone know of a Flashable 4-in-1 reboot menu - odex?

Thanks again Mudavo. This rocks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SixSixAtl:
I've used the QuickBoot app for years...it's free from PlayStore
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Echo113:
Can I do this if I'm already on NAE with mf9? I just need my lockscreen options fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] luisds87:
Can't seem to do a clean wipe. In recovery it will just reboot. I don;t know why!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] luisds87:
It won't let me format Data. I don't know what the problem is.

I am on Firmware and Build NAE now, but still nothing. I tried flashing the MK2 ROM and it doesn't work. I tried the NAE stock rooted and it works but the lock screen thing is buggy as hell.

Any help. I am phone-less right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] warriorpluto:
can anyone access the hidden menu on this latest build? i cant

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jkjambo:
One question (maybe stupid but anyway)

As i know sprint s4 ships with unlocked bootloader, so if it's unlocked why can't we downgrade?

4.4.2 update lock bootloader or there is some other problem?:silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] madvj:
I am on MK2 baseband and on custom rom. I want to flash Stock NAE with root. Can someone please point me to right direction? I already have knox i guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
What bootloader do you have?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DAE51D:
Not sure who your question is directed to, but if it's me, then I'm using that PhilZ one right? Otherwise tell me where to look. In "About Device":

Software Version: L720VPUFNAE

Hardware Version: L720.08

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband Version: L720VPUFNAE

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-481102

Build Number: KOT49H.L720VPUFNAE

Secuirty Software Version: MDF v1.0 release 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
If you don't know what bootloader you have, get an app called "Device Info", then look for Bootloader in the Software information.

After you tell me your bootloader version I'll get back to you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DAE51D:
I used Elixir2 (already had it installed) and it says "L20VPUAMDL"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
OK then, I think the bootloader could be part of your problem(s). I know that the older bootloaders won't play nice with NAE.

My suggestion at this point is to run a all in one version of MF9. Once you do that and have a good stable running phone, then run this procedure again to update to NAE. I would suggest using a lock pattern (not a pin) before updating to NAE as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DAE51D:
How do I do that? How do I get a MF9 ROM and Bootloader? I have a firmware for ODIN already.

also have that MK2 nandroid but it probably has the same bootloader then too right?

There's no way to just update the bootloader to NAE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
If you update your bootloader to NAE, you can not go back to an older bootloader. You are in good shape now, but you do need to update in steps. The MF9 bootloader is the last one that will allow you to go back to older bootloaders. The MF9 bootloader works well with the other NAE software.

Here's the thread for MF9 all in one, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2486134

Get that on your phone, get it up and running smoothly. Once you are happy that everything works then you can update to NAE following the instructions on this thread.

Also, please note that I said to set a lock PATTERN, not a PIN before you update to NAE.

You asked for help, these are my suggestions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DAE51D:
Okay thank you Jim. I will give these suggestions a try and I very much appreciate your time and help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Will be updating op tomorrow with these instructions. You do not need to flash MK2 if you do this.

Thanks to [MENTION=823168]tallblazer124[/MENTION] for this much easier way to get lock screen settings:

Another fix for lock screen which is very quick is use a root explorer or a similar app and edit the buildprop in the system folder.

You can just add # before

security.mdpp=None

in build prop and it will work.

The entry will then look like this

#security.mdpp=None

Then restart your phone and you should have all the lock screen options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DAE51D:
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU [MENTION=2646044]Mudavo[/MENTION]and [MENTION=823168]tallblazer124[/MENTION] ! :victory:

Here is the magic incantation to do it as it was a little tricky to figure all these bits out. Using ES Explorer and also Astro both, I couldn't get them to save the file, even after the 'remount rw' command.

Go slowly and carefully and check the results of each command to make sure you don't fat finger something as it could cause a bad day...

> adb pull /storage/sdcard0/build.prop build.prop
> edit build.prop (with a text editor like Notepad++ or whatever you like)
> adb shell

su
mount | grep system
(notice what block device is used, this is my Galaxy S4's...)
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system

> adb push build.prop /storage/sdcard0/build.prop

cd /system
cp build.prop build.prop.original
chmod 644 build.prop.original
cp /storage/sdcard0/build.prop build.prop.fixed
chmod 644 build.prop.fixed
rm build.prop
cp build.prop.fixed build.prop
chmod 644 build.prop

ll build.*
grep mdpp build.prop
rm /storage/sdcard0/build.prop

mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system

(reboot your phone)

Are there any side-effects of this setting now that I need to be aware of? And why isn't this the default already in the ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Update OP with alternate much quicker lock screen settings fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cephraim:
I am on 4.2.2, stock rooted, with L720VPUAMF9 bootloader.

I have the 4.3 OTA update nag.

I would like to upgrade to the latest OS version, w/root, and be able to recover all my app settings. I am running Titanium Backup.

Will the OP process work for me? Have all the issues of the first few pages been ironed out? Or, are the still some issues or missing components?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
The OP is and has been working well. As far as App's, most all developers have updates for Kit Kat, so as long as your App's are up to date they should work fine.

Nothing is missing, just follow the instructions closely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DAE51D:
DAMNIT! :eek: So apparently my phone is not "all good". It doesn't have any 3G or 4G data as I just learned the hard way?! I've been using WiFi this whole time at home for the past few days getting it set up. I turned on Bluetooth and saw various devices pop up. I've been talking on the phone (voice) and sending/receiving text messages (SMS) and so I just presumed all the radio stuff was working. WTF? How do I enable the data for Sprint?

Also, is there some sort of indicator in the notification bar? I have a graph meter bar and the battery percentage next to the time. When I open up all the little quick buttons (4 rows of 5) there is nothing for "Data" like there used to be in my old ROM.

See attached pictures for my settings which seem to be right to me?

Email app doesn't work (not to be confused with Gmail which does in fact work). This one I have set up exactly as on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it even is the same version 4.2. Also I tried to restore my TB version which is the same from previous ROMS. It's not a connection issue b/c if I configure it wrong, it says so anyways. It just sits there spinning a loading circle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
I'm sorry that you're having so many problems. Shortcuts are not always the best way to go. You had more problems than just the lock Screen issue.

I think at this point you are faced with starting from scratch. I know you don't want to. See my earlier suggestions. We know from the experiments that Unknown Force has done that jumping up to NAE has not gone well for those with early builds and bootloaders, without incremental updates. I know from reading your posts that you made the jump to NAE without updating to MF9, once you have a smooth running phone with no issues on MF9, then update to MK2, then update to NAE. I think things will be just fine for you then.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cephraim:
Great video!

The last step is not discussed, though:

12. Install Busybox and ROM Toolbox from Google Play. Fix permissions In ROM Toolbox go to (Run Script) > (Fix Permissions).

What's this all about?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thakidfrom235:
Not sure what im doing wrong or what can be done to fix my issues. Originally was on the MDL baseband with stock rooted rom. I used the all in one MF9 (Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM) to get all my parts running on MF9. At this point everything was running Great

I used this method, made sure to follow every instruction carefully and updated to 4.4.2 NAE while keeping my baseband MF9

The Rooted Stock NAE rom gave me many issues:

1) No Sound

2) Very long/ sometimes unresponsive wake

3) Screen lag/delay when swiping left/right through apps

4) I could not use the camera

5) When i would press the volume rocker it would make my phone freeze and be very delayed

6) Could not make a phone call, I could receive a call but would no be able to Talk to or Hear the other Person

7) Screen would lag or sometimes freeze and go black when i enter my pin or pattern to unlock

8) I could not use wifi (solved this issue by using KToonsez latest Kernel)

I decided to change the rom and see if that would help.

I Flashed to CandyKat 4.4.2 rom and I noticed a great improvement

All of my lag issues were resolved, wifi was working without changing the Kernel

the only issues that still remained were:

1) No sound

2) Could not make a phone call, I could receive a call but would no be able to Talk to or Hear the other Person

3) Camera would sometimes work. but mostly would crash or give me an error

Sorry for the wall of text but i tried to include all the details for you. Anyone know what i am doing wrong or if there is a way to resolve these issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cephraim:
Which steps in the OP does this eliminate?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
The answer is in your quote.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cephraim:
So, 4) and 5) of Step 3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DAE51D:
Okay. I think I give up on this. I can't get NAE to work with both WiFI and Sprint Data. I can get one or the other with no rhyme or reason as to which radio is going to work after installation. I don't know until I get to the very first screen where you start to set up your accounts. I've been dicking with this since 4/14 (over a week) and it's just issue after issue it seems (as documented by myself in previous posts).

I'm currently on the MF9 all in one dealio and it works like a champ (sans the little icon that wants me to update to the newer firmware)!!

Why can't this NAE process be all-in-one like the MF9 one is? It's so super simple and works great!

Or can't someone just post a nandroid backup of a clean NAE install with all the fixes applied (sd write, hotspot, lock screen, etc.) to download and shouldn't that work the same as trying to do all this ODIN stuff and Firmware things and trying to get the right combination. As I understand it, a nandroid is a snapshot of everything in one package right? Seems like it would save so many headaches since we're all on the same phone/hardware. Or am I missing something about the "need" to do all these steps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thakidfrom235:
To get wifi working flash KToonsez latest Kernel and edit the build prop like he states in his instructions. Check original android development thread for his latest kernel.
