driving me crazy.

went from mf9 -> nae (no bootloader)

been wiping and wiping only to finally realize it was the firmware update.

any info guys??

EDIT:

did a bit of searching but didn't find any answer besides downgrading to mk2...

i used a PC to Odin, all was successful.

then tried slimkat, ose, both with ktoonz newest kernel(and the previous weeks), no go.

then I tried negalites tw ROM and got bootloops. (this was the reason I wanted nae, to try his ROM)

so my only option is downgrading I understand?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ppillow:
That's what I did. Went to mk2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
hey guys,

where can i find a flashable Modem for CWM?

i am currently at work and i guess 4.4.2 roms dont play well with NAE modem so i want to tryout diffrent ones
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TanKCR:
Odin Won't finish

I have tried NAE Modem Only with both 307 and 309 it starts just fine, but then it sits indefinitely at a sliver of completion. Am I missing something simple?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] neno2323:
This happened to me also .. crazy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bond17_007:
Thanks for posting this.

I used the OLD MDC version to unlock Sprint SIM. When I updated to MDC my wifi stopped working.

I downloaded and reapplied the NAE version from here. My wifi still does not work. My old Firmware was stock VPUFNAE version.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dmt010:
Regardless what I do. I can't flash this nae modem even when mine says success after it flashes

Here's my stats presently

Before installing Tripped Knox: yup ... Oops lol

Model SPH-L720

Present Boot loader version: L720VPUEMK2

Baseband version: L720VPUEMK2

Modem board: MDM9615M

Hardware board: qcom/MSM8960

Platform chip: msm8960 /apq8064

Hardware version: L720.08

Operator: Sprint.

Ideas anyone ? Isn't there a sph-l720t out there ? Perhaps this modem only works with the T version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ppillow:
Works on sprint. Make sure you turn off you're phone!!!! Then start the phone in download mode!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
You have it wrong. NAE is for the regular version so it would only work for the regular GS4. Keep on trying and make sure the MD5 sum checks out. Some members reported that it took about 5-6 tries for the modem to stick even after odin said it was successful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dmt010:
Question what version of ODIN are you using to flash this? I'll try re flashing tonight when I get home

Im using Odin3 v1.85
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dmt010:
NOTE: With MJA/MK2/NAE Firmware, some people report better success with turning Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time unchecked. Do the same flash, but when you see PASS on Odin, unplug the phone and Hold the Power key for 10 seconds to reboot.

I had to do this for it to stiick :) Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dt1401:
There are from the SPH-L720T NAF firmware and they should be flash-able with ODIN

Anybody know which modern is best for 4g ? ... My gfs signal is total garbage lately.. Thought about roam control since she has unlimited data and roaming features.. Not sure why her sprint signal has been garbage lately though, suggestions anyone?... Running cm 12 ... I'm vzw with full LTE blazing speed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Sprint and Verizon use different bands for LTE this is why there is different coverage for both carriers. Verizon at the moment has a lower/higher frequency that allows for better building penetration.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] VaderSS:
It really depends on your area. I'm in the San Francisco Bay area, and I can't really tell a difference. The nice thing is that once you are set up to flash it, it's very easy to flash it back so you can try different ones out.

Downgrade from NAE to MDC baseband ?

Hey,

Is it safe to downgrade from NAE to MDC baseband then go to NAE again?

(my original baseband was MK2 then updated to NAE)

Thanks,

Short answer, yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] webender:
Launch day phone MDC -> ??

I've had my S4 since launch, and the first week I rooted it. Then..... nothing. I've been using it that way ever since. W/ Titanium freezing things I didn't want.

But now that Google has shut down credit cards in wallet for anything but 4.4, I guess it's time to update.

My question. It looks like any bootloader past MF9 is bad (Knox?), but then I keep reading about people saying I should use the NAE radio.

I tried using just the NAE radio w/ Odin, but the Audio and Phone screens got screwed up.

What combo of bootloader / radio builds are y'all using? Best guess from my research is to load MF9, then the NAE radio over it. Does that sound right?

Right now I;m running MDC / MDC with C-Rom 6.5, everything seems to be working, but battery life is poor, and reception is not as good as stock.

Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
You can use a NAE ROM like stock rooted, Negalite, Sacs , etc. And still be on your current boot loader and have NAE modem.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrnamster:
Wow getting NAE baseband/modem to stick was a pain coming from MF9!

Finally got it to stick using the method in the very last paragraph at http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-radiomodems:

First, was on MF9 and odined stock NAE tar but no wifi and was still on MF9 baseband.

Finally, got NAE modem but phone lagged and had with no sound.

Had to do a full wipe in recovery then flash the stock NAE tar again in download mode. All is good. Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] weboide:
For those looking at a heimdall solution to flashing.

Here what I used to flash MK2 (on ubuntu linux):

Wait for the "Ending Session..." to show.

Then Reboot by holding power down, and then power it back up. This seems to stick better this way.

This also works for NAE, just flash only the 2 first files. (in my case NAE didn't work well on my phone with CM11).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Son Rise:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2WhiteWolves:
Did you get the Developer Options on? Did you power all the way down, just not a restart? Did you use run as administrator on your pc with Odin? Then follow OP instructions to the T?

Personally I updated each one, but that was my personal preference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dweber81:
Hey so I get the same thing. I came from the Negalite Rom which NAE based. Since I have no data or wifi that would mean I wasn't on NAE to begin with thus no data. Right? So I tried flashing the modem tar file for NAE and it failed so I tried a few others. They all failed. I then tried the AIO and then failed too. I've followed all the directions. I'm not sure how to get in developer mode but I'm running stock right now and I'm rooted. Oh, and philz won't odin either.

Ideas? Help please!! Thanks.

Edit: Looking at the fail its right after the NAND write starts. Is something up with my phone as to why I can't flash this or Philz recovery at all??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
Your phone is not on MDC. That is the fail point you would get when trying to install an older tar file on newer software. Check the text on the top of the download mode screen and see if there is any reference to Knox. if there is, then the phone has already been upgraded to at least the Knox bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dweber81:
EDIT: Ill just admit I'm an idiot but not a noob. So the issue is the L720 vs the L70t. It's firmware specific and I was trying to flash the l720 firmware.

So I get the same thing. The only thing in reference to KNOX I could think of is that it says Write Protection: Enabled in Download Mode. It's the 2nd box from the bottom in grey. Hope that helps resolve this issue. I ran the Auto-Root and that goes through. Of course write protection being enabled makes sense why nothing is working but why is auto root working though? Makes sense in some odd way. Well, thanks to all for looking and helping. I'll keep digging around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dweber81:
I'm not sure if it's mentioned in this thread anywhere but this FIRMWARE is ONLY for the 720 model. The 720 model is totally different firmware. If you are having issues on Odin with any of these firmware 99 percent chance your on T. Take your battery out and check. I spent a whole day trying get to figure out what was wrong. With that being said be careful. I came from Negalite and that worked. Check XDA for a thread on everything about the L720T.

On Ting/Sprint S4 with this baseband L720VPUAMF9 I was having reception problems so decided to upgrade radio. I followed instructions in op and flashed baseband L720VPUFNAE everything seemed ok.

Calls will not let me answer. If it does allow me to hit answer there is no sound. Phone does not ring. Not sure I get any sounds out of it actually. I can send and receive texts just fine. I cannot make a call either, it acts like it will call then screen goes black. After a few seconds it acts like it's ringing but no sound.

Yes, you cannot flash .tar or .tar.md5 files in custom recoveries - these types of files need to be flashed with Odin.

There is a lot of conflicting information out there regarding which slot to flash modems in, so stick with what works for you - but I've found in the later Odin versions that I have the best luck flashing under CP (phone slot - not pda) instead of AP.

WiFi issues are usually kernel related. If you're not on a stock kernel try flashing a stock kernel or check to see if you have the latest build of your custom kernel. Either way it always has to do with the kernel not liking the modem in some way.

I booted into DL mode to try and figure out what bootloader I have currently, not knowing if its even displayed, I have a line with a few accronyms (didn't note it down) but it says 0X30 ..

I just used the same exact version as you have ( Odin3 v.1.85. which I've always used) and worked the same way I'd flashed NAE. Try running the flash again with the back off of the phone. AS SOON as you get your GREEN PASS in Odin, pull the battery, unplug the data cable and replace the battery. Seems to work every time for me.
