This isn't the full update this is just the modem look at your baseband it should say MJA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
Are me and a select few of other people, The only one's who encountered problem's after flashing the MJA modem ?

such as not being able to sucessfully make a call and i think someone else mentioned they could'nt sucessfully send a text (can't verify this cause I didn't try to) I had really bad lag and my phone was acting too wacky after trying to place a call. so i couldn't see if I could send a text okay.

So this resulted in me not being able to use the MJA modem and I sadly had to flash back to my previous modem (mf9).

Anyone have any suggestion's on a possible fix ? I'd appreciate it if you did and you'd share.

I flashed the one in the OP that said latest firmware and utd says MF9 and thats what my basebsnd is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Same issue for me on Cnexus' stock 4.3 ROM. I'm on MF9 bootloader and flashed MJA modem. Lost sound and ability to make calls. Maybe it's a kernel issue. Restoring MF9 firmware from this thread fixed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Someone wanna try this one?

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291675295

I added RPM and TZ to the mix. These might be important to the Modem to function properly. aboot sbl2 and 3 are not present. (These make up the majority of the bootloader chain)

Try it, if it works, great, if not, MF9 is still here to flash back to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
Has anyone given this baby (new modem file above) a test run yet, any luck ?

No go here. Running latest BeanStalk 4.3.1 and lost sound and dialer is froze up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Running out of Ideas... But I'm gonna test a few more things over the weekend, It might need a re-flash of a ROM in order to work after the update... Or you could try simply a nandroid backup, flash firmware, then do a restore after. Or maybe a data wipe and restore from titanium...

Also if someone could flash it, connect to pc and do adb logcat > logcat.txt (nothing will display, just leave running), then forcibly cause the dialer to freeze, then reboot and pull the last kmsg (adb pull /proc/last_kmsg) and send those to me, that would also help.

[MENTION=1354510]Unknownforce[/MENTION] check this out...I ran across this in this thread (quote@post URL below) you just might have got it bro, I'm not going to be home for a while but I'll start downloading your updated tar (may take a while I'm on 3g/lte) you posted today and see if I have any luck like this guy did.

I'll report back as soon as possible. F$%& yeah this guy gave me hope, and to think I was contenplateing on updateing to 4.3 for the modem alone, I even downloaded all the necessary stuff to update to 4.3. Maybe i won't half too...

(quote by opz187)

Hey guys check it out. I never updated to 4.3 cuz of all the issues, but I saw that unknown force updated his modem only.tar today, so I decided to give it a try in Odin. Had some trouble at first, it would pass in Odin, but when it rebooted the first boot would freeze on lock screen and reboot. When it finally got to the OS everything was still MF9. So I odined again, but unchecked auto reboot and f reset time. Then booted into recovery from download mode. Then selected power off from recovery. Finally, I pulled the battery. so next when I booted up, it said Android was updating, success. Checked in about device and voilà, mja baseband and software version on stock mf9. No Knox bootloader, and sound is working. Just thought I'd share my success. Now I'm gonna go play with my n5 seeing as to howi took the sim card from my s4 so I could activate it on sprint haha

Worked for me using [MENTION=4874765]opz187[/MENTION] instructions from my how to thread. Running sacs v2 with mf9 bootloader. Will up date my thread soon. Sound and dialer are working!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
[MENTION=1354510]Unknownforce[/MENTION] dude, it looks like you did it ! I can also confirm using your updated tar file you posted today and with the help of opz187's way of doing this worked ! I'm on sac's v8 4.2 TouchWiz rom Rockin the MJA modem, without having to update to 4.3 which I was just about to do tonight. until I stumbled upon opz187's success in a how to mja thread.

Thanks, both of you

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] asafegous:
What a pain. I tried updating the baseband via cm10.2: no go. I had to install philz recovery to flash stock. Goo manager is down or upgrading or whatever so i had to find a flashable twrp (no thanks to teamwin). I finally got it this morning. Haven't tested calls and audio yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zackandethan:
Tried opz187 method , UF's new modem zip , shabby's recovery . Worked like a charm . Running Sacs V8 , faux kernel and now mja modem . Sound , wifi and everything working fine . Thank you all very much for your hard work and efforts .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] conflikt:
Any MJA flashable modem yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
When you say a flashable mja modem, do you mean as in a flashable zip you can flash with recovery ? If so no, not that I know of .

But! There is a flashable mja Odin tar file unknown force posted yesterday a few pages back. It did the trick with the steps ops187 shared with us.

Thanks. Yeah i did everything beside flash the modem. Looks like I'll be unpacking my Pc. Would mobile Odin work to flash it??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] matraca:
Mobile Odin doesn't flash modems, you need PC Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] moysauce:
Is mja a big upgrade in terms of wireless network performance? I personally like mf9. It seems like a lot of work for something that might make minimal difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mderuelle:
just thought id say i flashed the newest version of the mja tar file you released and it worked flawlessly if i inchecked f.reset and auto reboot and from download mode going into recovery then powering down from recovery. i forget what thread i followed but it is a how to guide in the general section

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Updated main post with the latest firmware and the Note about turning off the options that some people say worked for them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Confirmed about turning off options. I tried it with options on just to test and it did NOT flash the firmware. Removing the options solved this problem. It worked the first time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] balistic2:
Hey unknown I am flashing the MJA firm ware from http://d-h.st/dGN. The flash happens successfully. After when I boot up I still see MF9 in my software version and my baseband. Am I missing something? I was flashing the MJA FW while on your TF3.1 rom. so in download mode System status and the other thing were both set as custom. I remember when going from MDL to MF9 I had to get those thing set from custom to original (or what ever not custom is) Thx. Go BlackHawks!

Side Note:

I was able to successfully flash your TF4.0 rom. With MF9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Make sure you're powering off all the way not rebooting to download mode via the reboot menu and also turn off auto reboot and the other option and then when it says pass, hold power button for 10 seconds to reboot.

And hell yes go Hawks!!! :) I was at the rally earlier this year what a blast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dtr145r:
i tried with the boxes checked first, nothing

then twice with the boxed unchecked and holding the power, nothing

then the 4th time with the boxes checked again and it worked.

i think its just luck... idk

thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] balistic2:
Yep it was cause I was not fully shutting down the device. Thanks UF! I am now running your TF4.0 and it is working great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] madvj:
I just flashed this and it passed. Manually rebooted and it was stuck at samsung galaxy S4 screen..then finally booted but wifi is not turning on. Any fixes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
If you're on a 4.2 Rom still, you'll need to install a custom Kernel.

I suggest installing a ROM that is of MJA base, so you're up to date.

Has anyone had success in flashing the mja modem while on a mja based ROM then switching to a 4.3 CM ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CCallahan:
Ok....on Triforce 4.1 with KT latest and just flashed Unknown MJA firmware via Odin. Everything works fine but I have the "Preparing network" notification (green circle with checkmark) and it wont go away. Preventing me from updating PRL and Profile. Only thing I can think of is I flashed the firmware in "PDA" mode instead of "Phone" mode but it seemed to have flashed successfully.

Anyone with ideas on how I can eliminate the notification?

**EDIT....I stopped the DM service and it went away. Will see if it returns. Profile and PRL allow me to update so hopefully it is fixed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] exeleon:
Interested in how this worked out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Laos101:
I ran the MJA firmware but it still says "MDC" in my baseband. Do I need to manually go from MDC to MDL to MF9 to MJA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
No, follow the directions to the T. You must completely power down, not reboot directly to Download Mode. Also, as it says in red, some people have experienced better luck unchecking the options that are on by default, such as Reboot and Reset time or whatever those options are and then manually powering down the device after that and then booting normally. Try it again with those things and see if it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Laos101:
Ah I see now. Thank you!

Odin will not find md5?

I have tried to install latest MJA modem and powered down phone and am in download mode. I started Odin 3.07 and 3.04 and neither will allow me to choose the md5 file? I downloaded several times. I placed it in a folder on my desktop and was able to access file but it fails each time I try to update the modem. I spent a while doing this with no results. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I am missing some simple step. Thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
did you run Odin 'as administrator'?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] robbbzilla:
No I did not. Is it that simple? Sometimes I can overlook the most basic things. I will try it again tomorrow and post back. Thanks for the help!! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mderuelle:
Did you unzip the file you downloaded before you tried to Odin it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] omegakai:
If im on andriod version 4.2.2, MF9 can i flash the Firmware first then flash a 4.3 rom after? or do i have to be on a 4.3 rom to flash a MJA firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
You can flash the firmware(modem) if you are on 4.2. I was on a few 4.2 ROMs running the latest firmware without issue. YMMV.

Just read the OP carefully about how to flash. I bet 2/3 of the questions here are regarding people who did not read the part about the batter pull or didn't power down completely and just just a 'reboot' type application or quick menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] robbbzilla:
Just wanted to send a thanks your way!! It worked once I ran as admin. Took a few tries but worked!! Thanks for the help!

Has anyone gotten a flashable for the new mk2 update that i can flash without being on new mja BL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newtonfb:
When can we expect flashable mk2 update ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mderuelle:
Come on man that's like the number one rule here when he has the time and gets around to it I'm sure he will. He hasn't failed us yet on getting us flashable firmware it just takes time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
I just need someone that has taken the OTA to get me a copy of their dumped partitions from modem and non-hlos so that I can build the proper files needed for this. (PM for info on how to do this if you need)

[MENTION=2348768]newtonfb[/MENTION] how do you like the N5, by the way? Thinking about getting one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PiggySmalls:
I don't know how he likes his, but I love it. Moved from the S4 to the N5, and pretty happy with my decision. Still kept my S4 to play around with. Google is still working out bugs on 4.4 though, which is the only problem. If you get one, get it through the Play Store, not through Sprint, unless you have an upgrade available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newtonfb:
I love my nexus 5. Im actually one the s4 forums because my dad has an S4 and he needs the hotspot mod since he doesnt get internet at his house so he uses that.

But going back to the n5 its great. I had gnex and a nexus 4 and now the n5. I really cant say anything bad about the n5 since it does everything i need it to and more. The battery last all day for me and i do alot of stuff on it, but ive heard other people complaining about it. I really cant say anything bad about the phone its awesome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
See I've read that the battery life is substantially better than the other devices out.. it boasts 17h talk time...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PiggySmalls:
I haven't gotten that, right now the stock kernel is doing better for battery than the customs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Added MK2 Firmware, same as MJA, KNOX bootloader is NOT included. MF9 bootloaders should be able to stay at that level without issue. Wi-Fi seems to work OK moving from MJA to MK2, so as long as you're an an MJA based ROM, it should work without a hitch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
Thanks a lot, if we already have full MJA including the bootloader for MJA would you recommend upgrading to the MK2 bootloader or keep MJA bootloader and just upgrade firmware to MK2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
It doesn't really matter, it's extremely unlikely that they changed anything in the bootloader that benefit the system and/or android at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
By the way, where are my manners... Thanks [MENTION=803586]Warboy[/MENTION] for getting me those files!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
Alright so a few questions came to mind, originally as i was downloading the mk2 tar you posted, but I just did a backup and dived into it and answered them for myself.

On another note thank you unknownforce for putting some of your own time into this to bring us a mk2 modem only flahsable you never let down and always come thru your time and efforts are appreciated :) .

So im just reporting that all went smooth and I'm rocking the mk2 modem along with sac's 4.2 t.w latest and KToonz 4.2 latest. I can't can't confirm weather I see a increase or decline in reception or data speeds on mk2 opposed to running mja. It honestly seems like all is the same but no worries.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] k2buckley:
Sometimes need to run Odin a few times for it to stick for some reason. I'd run it again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xxxicu812:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
Make sure you guys are power g down your device fully like the OP States. That's where i went wrong, I used the extended power menu and it didn't work. So try powering your device down completely and hold volume up, and power together to get to Odin mode. Worked find for me and all is MK2.

Edit.. Volume down, sorry haha. What supposed to be in bed by now, but wifey is turned over and get the brightness all the way down lol. Long story, don't ask

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edlee:
thanks unknownforce for disinfecting the modems, I updated to mk2 modem fine through odin, data and wifi are working under slim beam 4.3.1 build 2.2.

are there are known modem improvements with mk2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
UPDATE: To the fellow who asked me in a p.m if it was worth updating to mk2 from mja for noticeable improvements. At first I didn't notice too much of a increase or decline In reception or data speeds, but...after traveling around a bit and some usage,

I can say my recpetion has improved in areas where I would normally have poor signal and bad speeds. as for data speeds yes!! yes!! yes!! these recent updates sprint has done In my area are now showing with mk2 modem opposed to not showing with the previous mja modem hands down (this is only for me its gunna vary per person and location I'm assuming)

$$screenshot link below$$ of speeds on LTE now are sweet! the speeds use to be 1.xxMb dl before "at best", now it easily averages 10.xxmb I'm beginning to like sprint a lot more due to data speed improvement right about now :). Hope you have as much luck as I did with it ...

and thanks again unknownforce for getting this up,live and in the forums for our use your time is appreciated bro
