Yes. You will have the same sound issues. So to avoid that just flash the modem.bin (gsm) as instructed by the OP and you should have no issues with sound whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonahtriangle:
Sound works for me. No problems here. However many others report no sound. This is a hit or miss.

Need Help im on the MDL bootloader with the MK2 Modem. Everytime I try to flash NB4 modem via odin it fails. Uncheck autoreboot on check phone. Pls help

This reminds me of having an iPhone and avoiding the new version of iOS just to keep my jailbreak, pretty sad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Try with odin v3.07 and make sure you are putting it into the "Phone" section.

I agree, any time I am reminded that iPhone is a thing I get sad too. :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hardcore69er:
does this mean the modem.bin file has the LTE fix included or flash LTE fix after flashing modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
The package linked in OP doesn't include the NON-HLOs.bin file (LTE modem) so flashing just the midem.bin will keep your current LTE modem (MDL) in tact.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Also start with your phone off and go into download mode manually, vol. down+power, tends to stick better when done this way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwjack:
Redo?

If I have problems can I re-flash to MDL modem?

I am on rooted stock M919 pre-knox 4.2.2 debloated with MDL baseband and bootloader. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
As long as you're on a pre-KNOX bootloader you can downgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xda23:
After I do this then do I start mobile odin cf's paid version from the Google play store?and then flash the modem.bin not the 4.4.2 -non-hlost.and after that do I just reboot my device. Right now Im on baseband mk2 running wicked v10 4.3 rom. Thanks In advance!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
I never used mobile odin before, so I have no clue. You don't have a pc or access to a pc? Yes, when you do attempt this, just flash the modem.bin only.

While waiting on a modded from OTA kitkat ROM, I ODIN'd the new modem (was on MDL bootloader and MK2 modem), and it seems to work OK with current TW stock based ROM and two multi-boot 4.4.2 ROMs.

Network and WiFi working OK, so would not have to revert to older modem if I revert from new ROM.

Does NB4 modem work well with MK2 4.3 TW Rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Razzzzer:
Just flashed this running Wicked v10

I had 3 bars before.. now I have full bars...

wondering if the modem is working better or if its reporting differently?

seems to be working good so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] VillainDivine:
So you've had no problems using the 4.4 modem on your 4.3 ROM'?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Im on 4.3 ROM (dbombROM) this modem work great. Like I said before, never seen full bars before till now.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tgtran:
First of, thanks to shiamatsu!!!

Secondly, I would like to let everyone know the new baseband NB4 is working fine on 4.3 (for my case, Infamous v9r2)

Here are some caveats to watch when doing this. I learned it the hard way, first few attempts failed with the scary message "“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“. On top of that, Odin failed with "PIT partition" whatever...

1. Re-install Samsung drivers - I haven't hooked up the S4 to my PC since the MK2 firmware. I noticed the hardware detection, when I plug the phone via USB, was much faster after re-installation

2. When hooking up the phone in download mode, allow couple minutes after Odin recognized the phone before flashing

3. Leave the "Auto Reboot" checked - this is my experience, YMMV... When unchecked, Odin failed for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
What? why is there a PIT partition involved in a modem.bin flash? O_O

Place modem.bin in CP or phone entry of odin and flash. Are you sure you are not running an M919V or M919N?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tgtran:
Don't know - Odin threw this "<ID:0/008> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/008> There is no PIT partition." and slam that red FAIL on top

I googled around for PIT file, found it for 500/505 but not for M919. So I decided against it

Using PHONE on Odin, my is M919 (US Tmobile)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
Damn... never seen that on a modem flash. Which odin version did you use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tgtran:
Both 3.0.4 that came with the NB4 zip file in the OP and 3.0.7 that I used previously on MK2... Both threw the PIT error

Like I stated previously, I think my problem is with the Samsung driver on my PC. I changed USB port, USB cable, and everything I can think of - I was desperate. But when I reinstalled the driver, things started to fall into places.... The comment about "auto reboot" - I tried with that option unchecked, Odin didn't throw any error but it would not give me "RESET" or "PASSED"... Left that option checked and I was able to get the modem on my phone (this was my case, YMMV)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sahi2myfriend:

Flash

Ussually flash alot but just wanted to make sure if we odin this modem file first and then use fennys kitkat rom or first flash rom and then modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Fenny's rom won't affect your modems at all, as you probably already know. I'm not sure the order that you do it will matter much. The Odin-flash of the modem won't change your rom, the recovery-flash of Fenny's rom won't change your modem.

What I don't know is if Fenny's rom will perform better with this new modem or the old one. Maybe it makes no difference. Perhaps in that thread they discuss it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devsk:
I am on MDL bootloader and tried to flash to NB4 modem and it always fails. Tried a few times. In both Odin 3.04 bundled and 3.09.

Is this not working for M919 from TMobile? Do I need to do triangle away for Odin to succeed in flashing this?

I am on Golden Eye 24 ROM and using KT kernel, I can use the phone alright. I get LTE speeds and wifi works fine. The only issue I have is that I can not get a lock on the GPS, ever! So, I was thinking of upgrading the modem but to no avail. What am I missing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] trufan1:
Why are my LTE speeds suddenly dead after installing this modem? LTE is active but it is horrendously weak compared to when using the 4.2.2 modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
Running odin as admin? don't know if it affects anything. Also, have you tried the fastergps app that patches the gpsconf file by selecting your region?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devsk:
Yes, running Odin as Admin. Haven't heard of fastergps but I will try. I should mention that I don't get any GPS at all. I have waited like a half hour in "GPS Status" app.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Well, fastergps didn't do anything for me....:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
Another tiny thing that sometimes is looked over, golden eye 24 is kitkat right? in settings > location, is it set to high accuracy?

I don't really remember if touchwiz roms have this setting of toggling GPS/location between battery saver and high accuracy. Basically battery saver is just wifi and cell, and high accuracy is all of them including GPS antenna.

If you are going to use triangle away, I think you have to flash a stock kernel. Its one of the warnings before using it I believe.

As for flashing the modem.bin, I don't know why some people have errors while flashing it. My binary counter is set at custom, with 1 as per the triangle away app. I just flashed the NB4 bootloader by itself and it worked fine, then flashed both modem.bin and non-hlos.bin and it went fine. I was already in knox 0x1 so I didn't give a crap about it ;b
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devsk:
I don't know what happened but now I suddenly could flash the NB4 modem through the same Odin 3.04 version which I tried earlier 10 times. So, now I show the NB4 in baseband. But unfortunately, my GPS is still not working...:(

So, who knows what's going on with my GPS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RazoE:
Worked for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
I have the original bootloader that shipped with the S4 when I got it last year. It ends in MDB. Can I still flash the NB4 modem or do I need to update to the MDL Bootloader first? I asked in another forum, but couldn't get a definitive answer.

How did you put the phone in download mode? by rebooting into download mode from the os? or by turning it off, then turning it on into download mode? or by taking the battery out then turning on into download mode? Are you running a custom kernel/recovery?

I' think the bootloader is somehow blocking the modem upgrade or is reverting it back to the 'before flash' after it reboots. For some reason, some people have luck by flashing it twice or three times through download mode. Others are able to flash by pulling the battery out then getting into download mode. Others can't at all.

Flashing the modem through recovery does not work, script goes through without errors, at reboot modem is still the previous.

Mounting /firmware-mdm as rewritable then dd flashing modem.bin into mmcblk0p2 works fine. Reboot, modem still the previous one.

There is something happening to the bootloader that sometimes it 'unprotects' the modem partition and odin is able to flash it, whether it is at the Nth try of a consequent reboot, or at the first one.

I wonder why this phone or the i9505 have such variability with flashing modems when the at&t variant flashes modem easily through recovery or odin.

edit:

Well I guess I found out, in my phone, how to flash modems or bootloaders successfully at first try with odin. Turn the phone completely off, then turn it on into download mode, then flash the modem.bin, even with autoreboot ticked it succeeds. If I do it by rebooting into BL mode from the OS (never turning the phone off) or by holding the power key, modem.bin or BL flashes fail at first try (as in being reversed) and only succeed at second or third without odin autoreboot and rebooting manually. Creepy security enforcement is creepy.

Its not for MDL bootloaders only, You can also flash it on on MK2 as long as you only flash the modem.bin image.

Did you restart the phone into download mode instead of starting from power off? Don't let it reboot after flashing, just press and hold the power button until the screen is off and on again showing charging, then unplug, turn the phone back on. I did that and the modem sticks on 1st try.

Why would it be necessary to update the modem. Will it possibly fix a status 7 error I keep getting while trying to flash a 4.4.2 tw rom on my tmobile galaxy s4.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiamatsu:
Looking thru google about this "status 7," it's not related to the modem but to the recovery you're using. Try updating it to its latest version. Edit: Are you on version 6.0.4.7?

Use a different recovery and see if the problem goes away. TWRP never causes any issue for me.

I flashed an I9595 TW stock rooted rom 4.4.2 and my phone doesn't have any sound, it seems to call but the recipient never recieves a ring. Tried calling voicemail but it eventually times out. I tried flashing a new kernel but then it broke the modem totally to where I was getting constant error codes. I had to completely clear delete the partition and clear cache and delvik then revert to my backup to get the errors to go away. will flashing this modem fix my issue with the phone? I assume the modem in the rom has a European modem or something that isn't compatible with my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I assume you meant an 9505 ROM. What kernel did you try and what Modem are you currently on? I was able to run a number of International 4.4.2 ROMs before the OTA came out here, but had to upgrade to MK2 modem to do so (believe there were sound and/or WiFi issues).

You would not have flashed any modem above even if it was included in the ROM - you have to ODIN them.
