Here is an Odin flashable tar of the NG2 modem if anyone feels brave enough to test it out.

Please report back if it works for you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] monkytec:
Just flashed it about 10 minutes ago, everything seems to be working with both the tar and the rooted odexed ROM you posted the other day. Well done sir, and I thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] urbanman2004:
Who originally uploaded this and/or what's its origin? I might go ahead and give this a shot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
So, Churchey, or anyone else who can chime in....I'm currently NAE rooted with Towelroot and no custom recovery as I don't need it. If I Odin your rooted NG2 rom and NG2 modem, will this still leave my phone with the Knox counter un-tripped?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 2WhiteWolves:
It is still 4.4.2. Added HD Voice Icon and Google Security Patches.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] urbanman2004:
O ok, thanks... I'll hold off then. It's not worth the trouble IMO
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Yeah but it would be easier to just take the OTA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
Thanks man. I did actually attempt the OTA but it failed. What flashing procedure should I take? Odin rom...reboot, then Odin modem....reboot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
I would flash the Modem first but it doesn't really matter. Also the OTA probably failed because your rooted.. Did you try using the OTA survival option in the supersu app or full unroot and then take the OTA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
I did apply full unroot. I had forgotten the one mod that I had done. Permission fix for r/rw of the sd card. The log stated that was the reason for failure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Starhero:
Hello. I also have towel rooted my sgs4 and I am completely new to knox.

This OTA is just for HD voice and Google patches? I was curious to know if it might change the OS look to the s5 look, if not then it is probably not worth it for me.

My question is will I trip knox if I flash a recovery via the phone (eg rom manager). I don't own a working computer at moment...but I accept donations to receive one! :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lakemann:
If I am on stock rooted NAE with MF9 bootloader will I lose apps data? Will it keep my MF9 bootlaoder?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mxmr:
The ROM will not affect your bootloader, so you'll still be on MF9.

These roms will not wipe data when flashed in recovery, but I highly recommend doing so prior to installation. Users rarely report a stable experience without a clean wipe before flashing. You can always back up your app data with Titanium backup or ROM toolbox and restore after flashing. And don't forget to make a nandroid!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DanCandy:
I just got my NG2 OTA, it "succeeded" but broke my wifi in the process. I'm assuming the message I receive is from Knox, here it is:

Any ideas what the appropriate steps would be? Are any of the files quoted above useful to this process?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frostedunit:
Some people have been having issues with the NG2 OTA not updating the modem. Check to make sure they match.

If they don't, there is an Odinable modem about 4 or 5 pages back in this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Your Baseband didnt update, this happens to alot of people so just follow these steps to fix it.

1. Use Odin to downgrade your modem and then reflash the NAE modem.

2. Download the file from the OP (Its a copy of the OTA update file) and place it on your external sd card and boot into stock recovery and flash it then it will retake the NG2 OTA update and it should update your baseband this time and get wifi working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
I didnt see the NG2 modem .tar file lol but when this happens i know in your settings About Phone section it'll say the build number is NG2 but the software and the baseband is still on NAE so he might wanna retake the OTA update to make sure everything is on NG2.. Or just flash the NG2 modem .tar file then root your phone and flash the NG2 stock rooted ROM or Super s4 ROM that just got updated to NG2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DanCandy:
Thanks Churchey!

Should I be using the stock files previously mentioned via Odin for step 1?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frostedunit:
All you would need is the NG2 modem tarball. The other 2 are flashable zips of the rom itself that do not include the modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Yeah lol for step 1. just flash the NG2 modem Tarball file from the post that you quoted earlier with Odin and then use the file in the OP to retake the update from stock recovery itll be faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] noonway:
I was on stock (unrooted) L720VPUFNAE and getting the OTA for about three weeks but when I went to install the update it would look in the cache folder and the .zip would not be there. I tried this over and over. Should have known better and just come here. Picked up this .zip, placed on ExtSD and installed in stock recovery. After 10 minute installation and reboot, I'm now on L720VPUFNG2 with no issues to Wifi or anything else. Thank you! The update notice every couple of days was driving me bonkers. LOL!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kozmo2k4:
Thank you [MENTION=4459407]mxmr[/MENTION] for the files. Has anyone try to flash the stock rom and modem tars from post #36 with Mobile Odin?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Whentheworldends:
Just removed Xposed modules and unrooted with SU. Ran NG2 and then used autoroot with no issues. I was tempted to try ODIN mobile but I got sidetracked by another project
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mxmr:
Mobile Odin does not support modem/baseband for our device.

I don't know off the top of my head if it supports cwm flash able zips.

Either way you MUST have the same boatloader and firmware version to successfully flash anything which can be an issue for those still on MF9 or pre-knox bootloaders.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WhyteDem0n:
Deodexed works just fine!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phistyle:
on NAE right now.. can I just update my modem only by flashing the NG2 through odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] starkillers:
Hey guys, I posted a thread about the stock messaging app being sluggish after the ng2 update. Lots of views, no replies. Was hoping somebody here on ng2 can tell me if your messaging app opens sluggishly. You can really see it when you hit the soft menu key while in the app. So far, I see it only affecting stock message app and hangouts messaging. I'm stock not rooted even did a full wipe because of my ocd, yet still sluggish. When phone restarts, you will notice it gets snappy again but after system fully loads, it gets sluggish. Appreciate anyone checking it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Anyone like it? I got wifi Hotspot working and it looks/runs pretty nice lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Looks like it is inspired by blu Kuban. I like it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Yeah i have the s5 weather widget and wanna get the s5 dialer/contacts working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kbboykin:
I just got the OTA update this am. But when I allowed it to install, it failed. I am NOT rooted and have NOT deleted any system apps. Will this file allow me to update to NG2? Will I get another system update download if I wait? I have never had an OTA fail on my S4. I have been having strange reboots and lags recently, maybe it's time to go ahead and use my upgrade to the S5, but I'm waiting to see what else will be out there come September.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Yeah just download it and place it on your external sd card then boot into your recovery and choose "apply update from external storage" then click the file that you downloaded and it will retake the update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ActorMike:
So have people stopped making ROMS for the S4? I Went back to stock rooted because none of the ROMS worked with my GearFit smart watch.

So there is no way to apply this update to a rooted phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Flash modem and NG2 ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ActorMike:
how do I get the stock recovery back on the phone? Right now I have Clockwork Recovery. I use ODIN but I couldn't find anything anywhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Triumph:
for those having the WiFi issue, where it won't start.

I solved it by re-wiping the phone, installing the Stock rooted rom, then before the rom boots, went into download mode and flashed the firmware tarball, then let the phone boot up.

Worked just fine after doing that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] flight243:
Do you guys know if it's possible to downgrade from NG2 to NAE or below both the system and modem or separately? (at least the modem to sim unlock the device). Can't find references to a possible downgrade in this or other threads...

Big thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
You should be able to downgrade everything except the bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mikeprius:
I currently have CM 4.2.2 with an NAE baseband. My phone has tripped knox so im not sure what bootloader i have. I think i want to keep my existing rom.

Can i just odin the NG2 tar and thats it ? What exactly will it do for the baseband vs NAE ? Currently my phone is working and i dont like KK hence why i am still on JB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] flynhawn2002:
Hey [MENTION=5473179]churchey360[/MENTION] so if I am on NG2 will I be able to odin NAE without any issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
No only NG2.tar file can be flashed with Odin because you cant downgrade bootloaders but you can flash an NAE ROM in custom recovery and you can downgrade to the NAE modem with odin if you want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mikeprius:
Bump on this. Or do I just download the NG2 stock deodex file, flash it then tar in the NG2 modem ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] flynhawn2002:
[MENTION=5473179]churchey360[/MENTION] thanks for your quick reply! And you answered my question...I will flash a NAE ROM and downgrade the modem! Thanks alot!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mikeprius:
Nevermind i got it. Used the files and flash zip and tar in. My reception still sucks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] urbanman2004:
thanks [MENTION=4459407]mxmr[/MENTION] for the files.

I was trying to hold off on it until 4.4.3/4 or L to released but I got tired of the damn update alert that wouldn't go away and OTA wouldn't work b/c I was using TWRP. Basically I did the following:

1. Flashed the 'NG2 Modem tarball' with Odin

2. Copied 'stock rooted odexed' rom onto USB stick via OTG cable (external sd card will work too) and booted into custom recovery, and flashed it.

*NOTE* I didn't clear dalvik cache
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] churchey360:
Anyone know if we will get the lollipop update or at least an update for the new Touchwiz ui?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] urbanman2004:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tekone:
A S4 here after OTA, the Build Number is NG2 (K0T49H.L720VPUFNG2). BaseBand is still NAE and Software is still NAE. If I flash back to MK2 and reflash to NAE method will work? Why doesn't it happened?

Because of a combination of features (removable battery, fm radio, sd slot, etc), I was considering getting a c5502 or c5503 ZR to use with T-Mobile, but have read some very bad reviews of the main camera. Having a hard time deciphering the mixed opinions, and also wondering whether any software updates, firmwares, ROMs, or apps make the camera better. Sorry for the broad and uninformed question, but not sure how to really gather up this information. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
XZR is my fourth Sony device. The camera is excellent. XZ, XZR and XZL have same camera of 13.1 MP.

previously I had xperia SP and it had worst camera as per sony standard.

If you want best camera phone then go for Nokia Lumia or Lenovo.
[Sony Xperia ZR] JimDandy68:
Thanks. Curious why I read so many reviews of the ZR panning the camera (main, not front-facing). I'd assume Sonys would have good cameras. Surprised to hear Lenovos might be a good choice.
[Moto X Q&A] daede86:
Hi guys!

I've finally received 4.4.4 notification to update my German Moto x!!

I'd like to know one thing before I proceed.. If I update, will I have to root again the phone?

My phone has unlocked bootloader so there is no problem, but right now I'm on holiday and I don't have a pc to root it again..

Thanks a lot!
[Moto X Q&A] John Cez:
I have not upgrade to 4.4.4 yet.

I don't think you need to root again
[Moto X Q&A] daede86:
Thanks!

I've read some other user just flashed the stock recovery, installed the ota and flashed back twrp recovery..

Others instead use fwz method

I think I'll wait until I'm home just to be sure :) I need my phone during the holidays!
[Moto X Q&A] qiuness:
Hi, i was wondering the same thing. Is there a method for someone to create an update for rooted phones?

Also can you link me to the threads for flashing back to stock and what this fwz is?

thank you
[Moto X Q&A] daede86:
Here you can find some info about FXZ (sorry for my typo)

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/fxz-moto-x-4-4-4-212-55-26-t2827307

In the same thread you can find the stock recovery, a user posted it. Just search stock recovery in the thread and you'll find it!

I'm not the right person to help you in detail.

I'm not an expert user :(

In the meantime I froze motorola OTA app to hide the update notification..
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Guys, before anyone gets in trouble....there is no FXZ for the german (or any asia/european) Moto X's yet.

The only one released is the Verizon one....so DON'T flash the verizon FXZ.

You need to flash stock recovery back, and if the phone STILL won't take the OTA, also use "mfastboot" to flash system.img from the 4.4.2 FXZ (which IS released for the european/asia models). Afterwards, the OTA should install without fail.

You WILL need to re-flash TWRP no matter which method you use. You will also need to re-root IF you flash the system.img from the 4.4.2 SBF in order to be able to accept the OTA (you only flash system.img from 4.4.2 if the OTA fails after you have flashed stock recovery - it normally means you have modified /system in some way, and restoring the full system.img fixes this issue).

Good Luck - Remember: Don't flash the Verizon 4.4.4 FXZ to your non-Verizon phone. Not a good idea...
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If your phone doesn't vary from Stock but rooted, you can get away with flashing stock recovery back on there and taking the OTA. (OTA wont install via custom recovery like TWRP, CWM, etc). And if that is the case, you will retain root. You can optionally flash TWRP back on there.

If you have Xposed installed, it will need to be disabled or removed for the OTA install to work.

It is when you mess with stock files in /System or other folders on the phone.. i.e. remove, rename, etc. files from them, that you may also need to flash system.img and possibly other parts. This is due to verification checks in the OTA zip itself. If you have to flash those parts, you will have to re-root. Not an issue if you have an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto X Q&A] daede86:
Thanks a lot for your help and clarification!!

I knew I wasn't the right person :)
[Moto X Q&A] daede86:
Guys just to be sure of the right process..

-download the actual sbf of my phone

-extract recovery.img from the sbf

-remove xposed

-flash the recovery with flashify

-take the ota

-flash back twrp recovery

Am I right?!

Thanks a lot
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
IF you do not vary too much from Stock (i.e. didn't remove, rename or replace any "stock" files on your phone), then yes.

Oh, for Xposed, there is a disabler ZIP you can flash from custom recovery located in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer (or /SdCard/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer ) instead of removing it, as sometimes removing it doesn't undo all the changes.

Hi man, i have a problem.... Let's start: i had a eu moto x (xt1052) with fr firmware, moto is stock, so locked bootloader, stock recover and no root, i had received the ota to 4.4.4 but it cause me some connectivity problem, i have done the full wipe but i didnt solve; so i try to flash again the ota file but the installation fail and when i try to restart i had a bootloop (moto remain to the M screen).

i'm able to open recovery, to charge it and pc see it; how can i solve?

i also try to use rsd but there is no 4.4.4 firmware and i cant flash 4.4.2 (downgrade)
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Need more details.

Since the OTA ZIp usually erases itself from the phone after successful install, how did you try and re-install it? Where did you get it from? When you say it failed, exactly what do you mean? (did you get an error? of so, what did it say?)

And you are right... DO NOT TRY AND DOWNGRADE!! Once you have 4.4.4. on there, stick with 4.4.4 or you risk bricking or setting yourself up to brick.

Since you can get into stock recovery, try and wipe data and cache from in there. Does the phone still bootloop?
[Moto X Q&A] daniele1992:
ok, so it was an ota zip that someone in the italian's forum use, when i try to flash it it fail after some passage and show something like impossible rename the file? or similar.

how can i solve?

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Hmmm ok. There is only ONE safe way to fix you back up. It won't be the easiest thing in the world to do since you will have to have someone on the EXACT SAME variant help you with this.

Re-flash TWRP. You'll need to find someone on the exact same XT1052 firmware (who also has TWRP) make a backup of JUST system and boot (not userdata).

They will share the backup with you, and you will flash it using TWRP (restore). That should fix you up -- it is the ONLY safe way to get back on track without downgrading and risking a brick..

hard to find but i will try, other question if i flash the new 4.4.4 firmware (when it will be relased) will i solve?
