Hmm did you use the correct file ... and as far as Odin freezing, mine did that too but I left it and it was okay after a bit ... i think it does that when looking at the md5 ... that's what I think

Bootloader Update MK2 to NH7

Thought I'd share that the ONLY way I could get my bootloader to update to NH7 was to use ODIN 3.10, and tick the Phone Bootloader Update option. I was coming from a MK2 bootloader if that helps any. Yes, I followed the steps on the OP, and yes I did all the suggestions that the others have posted. This was the only way that it worked for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
Thanks for sharing this. I had happily ODIN'ed from NB4 to NH7 a week or so ago, restored my ROM, everything was better, I obliviously thought.

Looking at the Phone Info app just now, I realized that only the modem was NH7, and the bootloader was still NB4. WTF!

Going to try 3.10 ODIN when I get back to my home computer to see how that goes.

EDIT:

Took a couple of tries. First time didn't work despite having that button pushed. Some other posts elsewhere say that button does not mean so much, but who knows. Got it to stick by flashing it 2x in a row. Each time powering down completely then booting into download mode vs. restarting into download mode. Some other posts say this makes a difference.

Yet other posts say you can just click the bootloader button to flash just that part if only the bootloader is not up to date. Didn't get the chance to test that myself.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
I just followed the advice from an earlier post in the thread and used odin 3.10 to flash the NH7 firmware (as opposed to using 3.07 suggested in op) and ticked bootloader update. Updated bl and all else to NH7 with no issue. Came from MK2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] suck it monkeys:
No Signal

just went through all the steps as mentioned. and I am not getting any signal. one thin I noticed is that the Baseband is still showing NB$ but build is showing NH7 so i assume that is the issue. How do I correct this?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saham424:
OK I will update the OP when I get a chance but you will have to reflash the nb4 modem and do everything else the same from the OP. Then after all of that flash NH7 modem and do everything else again from the OP ... Happened to my brothers phone and this solved it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
You can go straight to nk2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
Thanks! Wish me luck it's been a while since I done this lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chosen_on184:
Question and sorry if it's asked already.. In a rush to work and just wanted to be sure

If I am on the NB4 Baseband and the MDL bootloader ..

I can upgrade straight to NK2 correct

Also when I flash full firmware is basically flashing a full rom and will I have to re-root once I flash it or will it already be rooted ?

Thanks I tried to rush and read the OP but it there seems to be like 3 different things going on there and to me it was a bit confusing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saham424:
Just a note: if it doesn't work just reflash your nb4 firmware first over your nb4 firmware (only the nb4 firmware and nothing else) then after all that mess flash the new nk2 firmware using the steps for the most part ... I had to do this because it didn't work the first time...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saham424:
Yah it's the official firmware including the rom so you do have to re-root... But I wouldn't bother... Just flash the firmware then flash the latest twrp... Go back to the forum and just find the custom 4.4.4 rom that's based off the nk2 or a 5.0 rom.... Official roms are heavy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] UJ95x:
Hey, thanks for all of the download links. My last S4's power button broke and I had to get it replaced. Sadly, the new one shipped with 4.4.4/NK2. Is the CF Auto Root method you linked still the same for that build? Can I just flash Shiny Side's rooted firmware via Odin, or do I need to be rooted first?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
It should be fine. Shinyside's build is not firmware, it is a rom.. You can just flash a recovery and flash the rom after. No root needed

Edit: why did you post a similar question on a different thread? It is not needed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vicious89:
I have flashed many roms including the CM12, lollipop,nb4,nh7 roms , but however my bootloader is still on MDL. The only problem was the TW roms having signal drop issues. Sickness dev mentioned baseband/bootloader mismatch. How do you upgrade the bootloader and is it necessary to do so?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darkgandhi05:
^ I came here for the exact same reason. Hope we get an answer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
By flashing the full firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darkgandhi05:
When I flash the full firmware (M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_M919UVUFNH7_HOME.tar.md5), it stays on MDL baseband. I've tried this twice.

Edit: Apologies... I should've read this thread more thoroughly.

This is what worked for me: Using Odin v3.10 instead of v3.07. Using the "AP" button (instead of "PDA" like in 3.07). After loading the md5 file, checking the "Phone Bootloader Update" box (as stated by another user on this thread). I'm on NH7 baseband now. Thanks all for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darkgandhi05:
New question: When booting into recovery I get "recovery is not seandroid enforcing", but it still boots into TWRP. Is it still safe to wipe/install the NH7 permissive ROM and kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Yes. That's normal. Will get it when you boot a permissive kernel too

I was going through the posts and noticed that one question didn't get answered and that is the exact same question that I have :s. So i m running on 5.0.1 GPE Rom on S4 with MDL Bootloader and NB4 Baseband. What does upgrading to NK2 give you ?... I m debating whether or not to upgrade it, I am a regular flasher but this is a bit confusing for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saham424:
I just feel like the most updated firmware (bootloader and baseband) is more beneficial because it was made for the newer android builds, so it's less likely to have problems compared to older firmware with newer builds... Just my perspective... I'm not to sure on exactly what's in the NK2 firmware... Just that it has Chinese in it now in the official TW firmware... That's just the rom though...as far as just the firmware don't know... Also mismatching baseband and bootloader may cause radio issues just an FYI...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jok3r10:
Thanks for the info.. I went ahead and did it successfully. Odin v3.10 seems to work the best.

Wow, I've nevet come across that scenario before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] djfreaq:
Came here to add that flashing over your current ROM with NB4 is necessary (if you're on NB4) before trying to flash NH7 or NK2.

Flashed NK2 directly over CM11-M12 having the original baseband M919UVUAMDB. Worked.

Hi Guys,

Hope this helps for anybody who tried to follow the OP directly on a custom ROM like (cm11, or any AOSP variant). Btw, many thanks to [MENTION=3307487]saham424[/MENTION] for compiling the OP. It helped a lot and saved lot of time.

I was on cm11-m12 snapshot with M919UVUAMDB baseband (this was the original release per this link).

I downloaded the NK2 firmware from sammobile (you would be downloading the zip file) and it contains M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5 file.

I followed the instructions in the OP and flashed the NK2 (M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5) directly using Oding v3.07. After that I was able reboot phone, but it did show the old baseband (M919UVUAMDB) with new firmware version NK2. However, I was able to see the LTE signal, WiFi and BT working properly at this point of time. Then I went into recovery and did factory reset and wiped dalvik cache. After that, the phone rebooted but the radio is not connected nor the WiFi worked and the baseband is still the older one. This could be a mix up due to having the data from my previous ROM (cm11-m12), but not sure.

So, I would suggest that it would be good to Wipe the data/dalvik cache before you start so that nothing mixes up with stock firmware.

I then set the phone in download mode again and this time used the Odin 3.10.6 (downloaded from this link available in Sammobile.com). I also checked the "Phone bootloader update" option (per a post in page 6 of this thread) and proceeded with flashing by selecting the NK2 firmware in the AP (equivalent to PDA in older versions). It failed at around 70%.

Then I unchecked the "Phone Bootloader update" option and did start again the process by clicking the "Start" button. This time it flashed successfully and rebooted the phone. While this happens, there is a chance that you would see something that would say similar to "Incorrect progress bar status". All you need is to see the PASS (in green) in the Odin tool which is important. The baseband is now updated and shows M919UVUFNK2 and build number as KTU84P.M919UVUFNK2.

I followed the instructions from OP for super user. It flashed without issues.

For TWRP (v2.8.4.0), initially I tried flashing using Odin v3.10.6 and it did not work. I did it again with Odin v3.7. It worked.

After this I re-flashed the CM11-M12 (of course, you have to Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Data) and now it is showing the updated baseband (M919UVUFNK2).

In a nutshell this is what I did:

CM11-M12 -> Flashed M919UVUFNK2 -> Flashed Super SU -> Flashed TWRP (v2.8.4.0) -> Flashed CM11-M12

UPDATE:

The battery performance is really worth mentioning after the baseband update and having the CM11-M12. It is really worth updating the baseband and having new versions of cm based on 4.4.4. Also, with regard to the SystemUpdateService wakelock issue with the latest Google Play Services I denied the following: Keep Awake, Auto Start and Wake Up. Also had to do the same for the Amazon Appstore. Screenshots from two different days added.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saham424:
I found that when I wanted to update from nb4 to nk2 it didn't stick the first time so what I did was flash my previous firmware over itself, like if Im on nb4 I flash nb4 again and then I do nk2 firmware after and then it sticks... Weird, I can't really explain why.

New XDA member

Hi Thank you for posting this. Before I get into my questions I'd like to say I'm new to understanding how all the elements you've listed above function, I'm also new to XDA. Before I go on and start noobing things up, I want to say the process worked flawlessly. Except after booting up into 4.4.4 I noticed the phone doesn't connect to pc with usb cable. I can't for example transfer files back and froth from mobile to pc, because the pc couldn't detect the device. I never had the issue prior. I turned USB debugging on/off, reconnected with another USB cable. The issue remained unchanged. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this type of issue, whether it is a bug of some sort, or it's just me doing something wrong in the process. I think maybe something didn't install correctly for usb, or got left out. The phone will charge normally however, it just doesn't connect to transfer files. Before I found all the collective material you've provided here, I started the process with what the developer had provided. Which you already have listed (Stock 4.4.4 NH7 Galaxy S4 M919/Jfltetmo). My device is rooted with SuperSU Pro, I used CWM, and ODIN 3.07 for the modem file.... 4.4.4 and the kernel I had stored on ext sd, I booted into recovery, wiped/restored everything, cleared cache and dalvik cache. I then went back installed 4.4.4, then installed the kernel afterwards. Then I booted into download mode, and flashed the modem file using odin 3.07. However it wasn't done "twice" as you recommend here. Since the usb connecting option didn't work, I restored back into the previous rom settings I had saved, and it works okay again. Any advice or feedback anyone can offer about this will be very interesting to see where I went wrong. Thanks again!
