Failed flashing back to stock NAE from CM11

Tried to odin stock NAE tars from both Samsung Dev site and both links posted in XDA Android Dev forum. "Failed Auth! "every time :/ tried even flashing UnknownForce's NAE stock tar, worked but wifi was a no go. Back on CM11 until i can get this sucker figured out.. **Been researching for hours :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
Why are you flashing NAE firmware in the first place?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xSpaceGhost:
Sacs I'm literally speechless.!!!!! You have made it impossible for me to get a new phone.!!! The $4 lives on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] modifidious:
Just following the guide

Just following Sac's instructions from the main page:

"how to update

jjust want to tell u how i updated so that u guys get where im at with 0 issues

- flash the nae stock tar go back to stock "
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
That is if you weren't already full ng2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] modifidious:
..that being said

So hypothetically, I can flash from CM11 to this Rom no problems? *Obviously w/doing complete wipe first. I just want to be sure before I pull the trigger. Btw, thanks mate!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] luisds87:
For some reason I am not getting Wi-Fi.

Is anyone else having this problem? I cannot even select Wi-Fi.

Running Firmware NAE..

Any other info I will provide if needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
Might need ng2 baseband
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
Jesus people, it's not hard. It's a NG2 rom. You need NG2 baseband/radio. The boot loader should not matter. If your baseband isn't properly updated, you're going to have wifi connectivity issues.

Before even troubleshooting further or making stupid posts about this rom, odin the NG2 radio tarball. Manually enter download mode before doing it. Verify you are NG2 baseband in rom before posting. If not start over. It obviously will not work with older radios. You're cluttering the thread with these posts.

NG2 radio tarball (NG2 radio ONLY, will not update bootloader)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712458249

1. Manually reboot to download mode. DO NOT use the reboot menu to do this. People have had issues with the modem sticking if they do not turn off the phone, and then boot to download mode from a powered down state (hold volume down + home + power).

2. Odin the tarball. You can find how to do this in many threads of this forum. Specifically, look through the firmware thread and g_ding's Super S4 thread for more info. Be sure to have auto reboot and force reset unchecked when you do this.

3. After successfully flashing the modem via odin, you can reboot to recovery. I personally use the latest philz recovery, but twrp would flash it just fine as well.

4. Flash the NG2 rom in your custom recovery. make sure to wipe all partitions (no need to wipe external sd, or internal for that matter)

I know OP had a bunch of steps including going back to stock NAE, losing root, re-rooting, etc. I fail to see why that's all necessary but if the above fails refer to Sac's longer process in OP. I may be missing something and Sac's certainly the expert on his rom. But the above should remedy the baseband version mismatch issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] luisds87:
Thanks will try this.

Sorry, I have been away from the scene and did not even know another modem came out!

Wooo, I am lost, but sorry for the dumb question. I noticed when I looked into my "about" settings.

I am on build NG2, so I didn't even know. -____-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
Look at your BASEBAND version. You previously said your firmware was NAE. The term "firmware" in this scene usually refers to what gets updated along with the rom image itself in an official carrier update release. That's the the firmware (radio (ie baseband), kernel, bootloader) and rom image.

What I linked in my post will only update the radio. The bootloader and stuff is untouched. Sacs rom uses the NG2 kernel for now I think because KT kernel was causing some issues (not sure on this, some running kt with no issues).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dbug2008:
I was already on in g2, followed instructions from that point, I am experiencing frequent reboots. Anyone else? Is there a fix? I am running xposed installer and several modules, I wonder if any of those have something to do with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
If you were already on full NG2 firmware all you needed to do was be rooted and flash the rom. This is becoming a mess. I'm sorry but the instructions in OP are convoluted and confusing people.

I'm by no means a guru, but some of you seem to be missing the very basics of flashing and differences between rom, firmware, etc. Some of these posts are frustrating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dbug2008:
Dude I've been flashing phones since my g1 days. That's what I did, wiped 3x times, wiped dalvick & cacsh. Rebooted recovery then flashed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bkind:
Just installed tonight! And wow! This is awesome! Came from NAE firmware odin'd ng2 baseband and all is well right out of the box! Thanks for your work sac! This is awesome!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
My bad, thought you meant you followed (unnecessarily) all steps in OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] luisds87:
I've been flashing for sometime too, but did not know that NG2 was new. Like I said I was away from the scene and just got back. I was on NAE and now I followed all steps and all is well now.

I was on V3 and just updated to V4. Going to let it sit out for a couple of hours before I come back with anything else. Looking good so far and Wi-Fi works.

Ooh yea!

Thanks for the help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman121383:
All is well here! Awesome Rom! Anyone have greenify tips...or a list?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DarkEye45:
Before installing I was running ***Sacs_Custom_Rom_4.4.2_KITKAT_v6*** for the last 5 months. Been following all these other versions and finally decided to jump on v4_NG2.

Here is the screen capture before I installed v4_NG2.

----------

I installed NG2 modem first.

Then I dirty flashed Sacs v4_NG2 Rom. Everything is working fine and no reboots or FCs. All my apps and data stayed on the phone and I did not have to reinstall any of them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joej191:
I don't know if this is a known issue but I get this pop up when I stream on off my phone through wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xSpaceGhost:
Can anyone post pictures of the rom? Just the basics I guess. I'd like to see it in more detail. Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentcelsius:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joej191:

Possible bug, thank for that. Anyone else got this? Streaming media over wifi like from Google music or some service, or streaming an mp3 over wifi from local server/pc?

My wifi hot spot isn't working. ..anyone else with this issue?

My wifi works ...just not the hot spot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joej191:
Mine is working.

I just tired on my wife's iPhone. Slow but it gets it done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] goodfellaz2k3:
Any get this when using your phone got an incoming call? I don't see who it is and have to turn off the screen and turn it back on to swipe to answer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] justmerob:
Actually yes, I did get this on the very first phone call I got after flashing. Since then I have not gotten it tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hotrodssnova:
Rom working great! I have had 2 issues.

1 snapchat seems to open but can't load any snaps or upload my snaps.

2 tried to dl a couple of things to the phone via opera and dl fails immediately.

Rom has been running for 2 days now and still haven't figured it out.

Im running ng2 modem on mf9 bootloader..any advice.. .. I did wipe everything like 10 times and still the same
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sinister254:
So I tried to flash kt kernel and it work just no connection data or phone did I do something wrong
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chiefho70:
I am on the mf9 bootloader installed ng2 modem and flashed the only thing that doesn't work is my contact icon in the upper left of the pull down. If you just touch it you get a contact has stopped error. Everything else is working great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hotrodssnova:
https://www.flickr.com/gp/98397906@N06/7e86d3

Is the bootloader correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dentera2:
I just wipe everything again and reinstall it .. theres this driving mode icon always showing on notification bar.. that when I force stopped it makes my settings and other functions to stop working .. .. so I decided to let it open untill some of you guys can advise me of what im doing wrong .. thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Son Rise:
U tried downloading folderMount From PlayStore? It Fixes Some Patches
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chiefho70:
Mine did the same thing if you go into settings and turn off driving mode it goes away I did notice that the quick icon for driving mode is gone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] luisds87:
A new issue has risen.

I'm looking for a solution but no luck so far.

I cannot take a screenshot. Well I can but it does not save and states that "USB storage might be in use"

I tried settings and all and the permissions are set to write enabled and all. I cannot find a solution and tried reinstalling the ROM and it still persists.

Anyone ever had this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hotrodssnova:
Not yet. I will give that a go.

Here's a screen shot. Note the bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chiefho70:
Download folder mount run it and it should fix the problem

I can't seem to add a custom ring tone when I try the sound picker force closes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dentera2:
Yeah .. as simple as that .. wow ...I feel so dumb at the moment lol... thank u man .. It worked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] justmerob:
Any ideas on why under Settings>New 3Minit, there are no options except a few under "System"?

I fixed permissions and also did the Folder Mount from the Playstore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joej191:
Mine is the same, +1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman121383:
I was also missing those 3minit settings while I was v4. Hot spot didn't work for me either as I had mentioned before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] justmerob:
You said "While on v4", so did you go back to v3 and they are there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman121383:
Im on v2. With the "b" fix zip flashed.

Frankly never tried v3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] justmerob:
Gotcha, I've been on Sac's ole 4.3 ROM forever and it ran so good I didn't switch for months now. Just came to this one and it's freaking awesome! I do like the 3minit settings but it's no where near a deal breaker for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hotrodssnova:
The folder mount app did the trick. Thanks given. Snapchat working perfectly.

Opera also downloads like normal.

I also noticed that the speed of the phone picked up considerably. Big difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] axs3543:
Anyone has a working Samsung link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman121383:
Same here been running Sac's for months myself now. Maybe I'll re flash and see if works. I'm loving v2. The built in 3minit stuff is sweet though plus all the s5 stuff. Anyone confirm download booster works too?

All in all awesome rom.by no means am I complaining. Thanks again Sac.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hotrodssnova:
Working great on my end. I have the wallpaper issue also. But it's no deal breaker. I just used a picture from my gallery and it stuck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xSpaceGhost:
Yeah. Me too. I thought there was a fix out there. I remembered a few ROMS back there Wasatch wallpaper fix. I just wasn't sure if it applied to this baseband rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chiefho70:
Seems to be working good the only issue I have is not being able to add ringtones

Sorry for the question... I have a Sprint flashed to Boost S4... its already on NAE... Sacs 4.4.2 V6 .. If I Odin to NG2... will I lose my Boost flash at all ...because that's the one thing I dont know enough about.... as far as what it takes to lose a flash.

.. Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ahsanshah:
Pardon my lack of Knowledge. My galaxy S4 currently shows software details (see attached). I want to know how I'll be able to install this Sacs ROM on it. I don't want to get some trouble. My phone shows SPH-L720 in download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calikushed:
What kernel is everyone running? Also what kernel comes with this great rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dcillusions77:
Stock and stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xSpaceGhost:
KT Kernel (Ktoonsez) 7-12. Once you have installed the ROM, let it settle in for about an hour. Then boot into recovery again, and make a backup. Then flash the KT-kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dustbuckets:
I thought there was an issue with KT running on NG2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman121383:
I haven't re flashed v4 a 2nd time yet. Is anyone having any issues with v4? I loved it but hot spot didn't work. So I re downloaded it to give it another go.

Maybe an update I'd coming soon ?

I gotta say tho v2 with the fix is solid. Everything works. Rock solid stable. No rebooting. Battery life is good. Love the roms Sac!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chiefho70:
Will this fix also allow you to add ringtones from your music
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
Yes that is exactly what it fixes.

Just wondering if anyone has issues with screen mirroring? Every time I connect I get a pop up that says connection failed. I can't find anything in the logs. Another friend of mine with a stock ROM can connect fine.

Edit,

Using the Samsung all cast hub.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thexfactor2011:
Screen Mirroring Solved!

Problem solved. [MENTION=2744265]sac23[/MENTION]

I modified the wfdconfig.xml in /system/etc. I had to change the ContenetProtection section of the xml.

Before:

<ContentProtection>
<Valid>1</Valid>
<Version>WFD_HDCP_2_1</Version> <!-- Valid values WFD_HDCP_2_0 and WFD_HDCP_2_1 -->
<CPPort>6789</CPPort>
<EncryptAudio>0</EncryptAudio> <!-- Valid values 0 / 1 to indicate Audio encryption or not -->
</ContentProtection>

After:

<ContentProtection>
<Valid>0</Valid>
<HDCPValid>0</HDCPValid>
<Version>WFD_HDCP_2_1</Version> <!-- Valid values WFD_HDCP_2_0 and WFD_HDCP_2_1 -->
<CPPort>6789</CPPort>
<EncryptAudio>0</EncryptAudio> <!-- Valid values 0 / 1 to indicate Audio encryption or not -->
</ContentProtection>

I also attached the entire xml in a zip.

I got the solution from this thread

Sacs does it again and hits one out of the park! You keep going brother and your gonna blow the doors off that old v8 rom!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
I been running Triforce ROM which has not been updated in ages. I am looking to update to yours but you say to flash the NAE Stock.. got a link to that for flashing? I want to make sure I flash everything correctly since this ROM is back in February I know I am behind on a lot of updates.

Basically from what I am understanding is that I have to go back to Stock than run the update and flash the new TWRP? Do I go directly to v4? I just want to make sure I do the update correctly I am currently making a full backup with Titanium Backup and another with Online Nandroid Manager. Going to test the Nandroid Backup than proceed with updating this ROM once I verify steps here.

BTW this does have Knox Bootloader and I already tripped the Knox Warranty so just what prerequisite files and steps need to be done to flash this properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] p3tr0s:
I just dirty flashed v4 over v3 and its saying android.process.score has stopped.... I can't use it at all... Any one have any ideas before I clean install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Try cleaning cache and dalvik?

Another way of dirty flashing is to wipe just system since that's what is getting updated then install rom

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

In all honesty if you get yourself to stock ng2 which this is based off of you will have no worries at all. You have already tripped your knox so you definitely have no worries. Be sure to completely wipe then install using a recommended recovery. The developer has given install directions to have the best experience which should always be followed otherwise any bugs are just your own fault for not reading. Follow the op and all will be well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
I was told to flash this so this would be the stock that I need to flash to.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=34368

L720VPUFNG2_L720SPTFNG2_L720VPUFNG2_HOME.tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Indeed. Flash this. Root your device . Then flash sacs ng2 rom and all will be well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
Ahh. so I will have to re-root my device after flashing it than. Guess I'll be putting my Samsung Toolkit to work again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
If you have been around for awhile and know rooting is just a custom recovery and flashing the newest super user apk via recovery. Cf auto root works but i prefer to root my own device. But yes flashing a stock rom you need to re root phone and use suggested recovery to flash rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
Thanks well I flashed it but I could not enable WiFi at all the button just shut itself off. I tried to factory reset but I can not enable WiFi. Any suggestons?\

nm found I needed to flash update 2 from the Op. Now I have working WiFi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Check your baseband make sure you are ng2. There should be no issue with wifi. If so check your build.prop. I'm only assuming you know common issues. One last thought are you triband? If not did wifi work before you flashed rom? Trying to narrow down scenarios.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
Ok got that fixed.. now what software can I use to root? Or the easiest method to root? My damn Skipsoft Android Toolkit is auto closing before it starts for some damn reason and it's what I used to root before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Cf auto root will do it for you. Easiest way. Qbking has a video/download for this in the general forum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
Thanks.. was very quick and painless with that tool. Now about to flash this ROM and than start the restore from my backup.

Got a serious problem with Gallery though with this ROM. it is showing all junk app folders but not my pictures on my SDCard I can't find them at all in Gallery. How do I fix this?

Second problem I have is Titanium Backup Root crashing when I try to restore from xml backup.

Couple questions:

1. Anyway to get infinite scroll back on the home screen? I hate that if I keep going left I reach a stupid My Magazine.. I would like to dump that altogether

2. Rom is a bit unstable I am getting apps that stop working like Titanium Backup with XML restore

3. Getting other apps that will have a UI crash message and has stopped working.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
This ROM appears to be real unstable.

This ROM I have tried 3x wipe and than letting Play Store restore but the apps still are real buggy. Even the apps installed by default with the ROM keep crashing. This ROM I am afraid seems to have a lot of bugs in it yet.
