[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWalkop:
NO. WHY?

All caps aside, if you don't notice it I wouldn't look for it. Because once you find it, it'll probably stick to your mind for a long time.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
Exactly right. If light bleed is so bad that it really bothers you then by all means return the device and try to get a better one, but if you can't even tell if the problem exists don't go looking for it. All you have to gain is dissatisfaction with an otherwise good device. Watch some movies, use the device as you normally would, and if it looks good to you don't worry about light bleed again.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
Or you have the same experience I had. Little to no appreciable light bleed. My first N10 had none, but had a small fracture/defect in the glass (you'll see my image in the light bleed forum).

Second one, a nickle sized but very dim bleed and only seen when in a closet with the door closed and no light.

Acceptable.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Molestratus:
Loving mine. I have a small "chipping" in the top glass, also minimal light bleed.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasW:
I took another picture the other day in a closet, since the first one I posted in another thread gave the screen a purplish glow due to the angle. Also, the Backlight Bleed app icons were at the bottom of the screen so I turned the N10 upside down for this one. The white icons are overexposed, which I suppose means the bleed in the photo may be exaggerated to some extent, but it seems pretty accurate as to the extent itself. Again, 100% brightness in a dark closet. I'm telling myself I can live with it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johno86:
If you go looking for a problem - you will find one. Even if there was not one to begin with.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anoles:
I am on my 6th unit. I've had it for a week, and I've been using it constantly. It appeared to have minimal bleeding upon opening. After a week of "breaking it in," however, the bleed in the bottom left corner is quite apparent. Anything brighter than auto-brightness and it's noticeable in any setting or on any screen. I'm just tired of gambling with every return. I mean...this is my 6th one. *lol*

Judge for yourself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Finally a way to flash modems/firmwares without needing to take the OTA!! This means no losing Root, no losing Recovery, no data wipe, just strictly updating the Firmware!!

There are two different versions available here, one includes the bootloader chain and the other does not, if you're unsure of which one to use, simply use the one without. (First one listed) None of these include the KNOX Bootloader. I didn't want to include it and have someone mistakenly flash it. I can produce these upon request, but this simply isn't necessary to update.

The download links are listed in the second post, but READ the instructions carefully as the procedure is very specific.

What you need:

An extracted FirmwareAIO.tar.md5 from the second post

Odin (I used 3.07, but I am pretty sure others work too)

A PC... (duh)

Sprint Galaxy S4

A brain

Here is the procedure:

Power OFF the phone (do not use reboot to download mode, do a full power off)

Hold down the Volume down key and then press and hold the power Key.

When the screen lights up, release both

Press Volume up to Continue past the first screen, you should now be in Download Mode.

Plug the phone into the PC with Odin

Fire up Odin and select the modem tar.md5 file with the PDA button

Click Start and Let it flash until it's done.

It will auto reboot and you'll be all set.

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.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ashton4life:
Hi all!!

So where do we find the next updated modems and OTA info?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] smoke423:
Unknown how to tell if I have did this modem right? Im on ur rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
If you're on ForceROM 2.0 or greater, then you should already be on MDL firmware, because that was one of the things you had to do before upgrading.

But to tell which one you're on, go to settings, more and about phone. The last three characters of the baseband version will tell you what you're on.

Not entirely sure what you're asking here, but if you mean when the next OTA comes out I don't know the answer to that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] smoke423:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
I've never used either of them, so I can't say, but try it maybe? let us know if it works?

What I can say is that I've tried to put them into an update zip to flash in recovery, but with no success.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
I'm assuming the new modems will be worked into your ForceRom as it is updated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
No, I won't include a modem in a ROM. (It wouldn't work anyways..)

But I will point at this thread when there is a modem/firmware update that's needed.

But your baseband, build number and modem should all say MDC or MDL shouldn't have mixed MDC and MDL builds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CNexus:
Are you on the Knox enabled bootloader, or MF9 bootloader? And you are now on 4.3 TW with MJA baseband, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Haha I figured, I was just giving you a hard time! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] imneveral0ne:
MF9 bootloader. AOSP 4.3.1 MJA Baseband.

Haven't messed with 4.3 TW because Knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CNexus:
Knox is only relevant if you have the Knox bootloader. Otherwise you don't need to worry about it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Works on CM10.1 as soon as I booted up apps started updating. Gonna make a test call.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Scratch that. No phone calls or text messages. Phone app froze up. Had to flash MF9 modem to get calls back.

Tried a few test calls and nothing. Just dead air and no info on the in-call screen.

Might be because I'm on 4.2.2 AOSP. I wonder if 4.3 AOSP is different.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] imneveral0ne:
I'm on 4.3 AOSP and same problem.We're much closer than before though!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
This might be an AOSP thing... After updating the Modem there is a screen that comes up about finalizing the Android update and it runs for a good minute or so... Then it says Android Update complete. Did you guys see this screen at all on AOSP? You might need to go back to a stock ROM first, then update the modem and then let it do that finalize, then go back to AOSP at that point...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
I can't get my modem to update at all. With all of the problems I have had that isn't much of a surprise. I am stuck on the MF9 Modem now. I have Odined the MDC, MDL and MJA modems. MDC and MDL don't error but don't take. The MJA modem gave me the firmware error and wouldn't go any further.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
I can confirm that also, i just flashed the MJA modem on TouchWiz (sac's 4.2.2 latest build and KToonz latest) and experienced similar symptoms even after seeing the finalizing android update mesaage and it confirmed it was complete.

I Tryed makeing a call after the (finalizing android update message) to see if these folks findings were correct and i didn't get a re-boot but couldn't place a phone call successfully.

I repeated the process twice re-flashing mf9 them MJA to see if anything changed but no luck. So i had to flash back to mf9 to get my phone back to a normal state and could not see if texting worked cause it was lagging pretty bad and was acting funny after attempting to make a call on MJA.

Just an FYI. I was stuck on the MF9 Modem but everything else was MJA and I had no sound. I have been fighting it all day. Trying everything. I gave it one last try with this Modem but this time I Odin'ed it from Phone and NOT PDA. It took and my sound is back. Thank you [MENTION=1354510]Unknownforce[/MENTION] for the modem. One day when you have time I would like to know how you get the modems into a tar format if you don't mind.

So after all that has been said and done with today's testing.can a person who's on 4.2.2 TouchWiz sucessfuly get the MJA modem working on there device with no issues?

such as the one's myself and other's experienced after flashing the MJA modem on 4.2 TouchWiz&AOSP rom's. like not being able to successfully make a phone call and someone said they couldn't text.I can't confirm weather or not I had issue's texting after flashing the modem cause I never tried to but I'm sure if I did I would have not been able to also.

Was it ever confirmed weather or not flashing CNexus's stock rooted MJA ROM,then flashing the modem worked with zero issue's?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KelevrA_8:
Hey crawrj thought i would share this with you. This is the method i use to put things into a .tar. it has always worked for me.

I am running Cygwin on windows 8

first open Cygwin and cd to the directory with the files you want to make into a .tar and then type this code.

$ tar -H ustar -c (files you want to make into tar) > (output file.tar)
$ md5sum -t (output file.tar) >> (output file.tar)
$ mv output file.tar output file.tar.md5

so an example

$ tar -H ustar -c modem.bin > Modem.tar
$ md5sum -t Modem.tar >> Modem.tar
$ mv Modem.tar Modem.tar.md5

Other users reported they couldn't make a call or text successfully without getting a soft re-boot after flashing the mja modem.I didn't get a soft reboot when trying to make a call.but I can't confirm weather I could text or not cause I didn't try to.

I had to flash back to mf9,to get my phone back to a normal working state (lag free) after makeing a call.

Are you on 4.2.2 (TouchWiz or AOSP)?

Hmm that's weird your getting bad symptoms like these after flashing the modem on 4.3 even.you know crawjr mentioned he lost sound when flashing it onto his 4.3 ROM. but fixed it by flashing the modem in the phone slot in Odin and not the PDA slot.

Idk if it'll work for you but even doing that I had no luck. I still had the same symptoms.maybe you'll have better luck though being that your on 4.3 and not 4.2 like me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Snazarian:
So Im confused....dont Modem and Radio mean the same thing? and we also have a Firmware?....... is there a guide somewhere that explains all of this?

I come from the old school days where the 'firmware' of a device, any device would mean the piece of software that was held in ROM. We would hack the firmware of video cards (to OC) and cd/dvd burners so we could copy xbox and ps games..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Yes. Firmware on the GS4 is the Bootloader, Recovery and Modem/Radio. The ROM is the OS.

The recent MJA update was major in terms of firmware in that Knox was incorporated. Once you update you can't go back.

Why would you go back? Well Knox is a pain in the a$$ and trips the flash counter in the bootloader, which will most likely void your warranty. For crack flashers this is a nightmare.
