What is baseband?
I have a friend who seems to have updated his baseband, but not his firmware. I confused about these terms, can someone please set me straight?
From what I can tell, it has something to do with the communication hardware, sorta a subset of the firmware.
Is that right? Can they be flashed separately?

I flashed an international firmware on a Sprint S4, not knowing that it breaks root and custom recovery. I also lost my 4G. I can fix everything except the 4G. No idea how to begin, any idea?

Well you can begin by going to Sammobile and download the carrier's stock firmware. Flash it via odin. Stay on stock until you figure out how to fix 4G on custom roms.
Good luck, Im sure you'd be able fix it by flashing stock rom
Have you tried fishing the Sprint modem?

Sprint Modem? Can you go a bit more in detail please?
Indie offers an "EnableLTE.zip in the i9505 Omega Thread
This maybe fix the problem, OR AT WORST BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Honestly i have no idea if this works, so be careful.
Indie or another skilled person should know of this fix the LTE bug on your Sprint S4.

The modem is part of any full firmware and is usually different for each provider, region etc.
I believe the US lte frequencies are different to most of the other countries so if you don't have the correct modem your phone may be looking for the wrong frequency.
Try this link: http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720)/Modems
Flash the .tar file in odin in the phone section.
Edit: just remembered when the first ipad to have lte was released in Australia, Apple and resellers got into big trouble for marketing it as lte/4g. This was because although it was lte it didn't actually work with Australian lte frequencies. So as I mentioned above you will need a US modem. That's my best bet to get it going again.

Flashed it successfully, yet no 4g. Could it be that I need to flash a different firmware?

Maybe check that lte is selected in network settings and you have your apn set correctly.

I did, yet no dice. Would flashing a stock firmware replace the modem?

Hello XDA, just a quick question. I get incredible service everywhere except where I actually live. I've been told to flash a modem that'll work better in my region, however if drive just 5 minutes away I get full bars; so I'm not worried about a regional modem.
Any tips/tricks on signal boosting or finding the best tower to connect to? The apps on the Google store do no justice.

This is really a problem with your network, not the phone. You can flash the latest MF3 modem and see if that helps, but as far as regional modems..I have no clue what they are talking about.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111253761
This is the latest modem available for the AT&T i337, not the i337m so anybody else reading this please don't flash unless you have the i337 and NOT ON THE MF3 FIRMWARE.
You can flash with your recovery, should only take a couple seconds. Reboot and enjoy!
EDIT: @jball
I forgot to include that about the MF3 firmware. Thank you very much for adding that!
Are you MDL or MF3 base
If MDL rooted and custom recovery than yes flash a different modem.
If MF3 u can't flash a different modem to my knowledge.

what if you are running MDB? I just returned my phone to stock and rooted with motochopper and I am having this same issue.
When I received my phone it was stock MDL so not sure about MDB.i do know for sure that if you have root and a custom recovery like CWM,TWRP that is not Safestrap than u can flash any of the modems/radios to see witch one you like.GOOGLE is is a friend I use alot to get what info I need most of the time.

Steven is correct, get a signal booster for house. If you complain smartly, carrier may provide. I have same issue, great everywhere but my house. It is just a bad spot or as some call them, a deadzone. Not sure exactly why yours is bad. My house is in a small valley surrounded by tall trees.
I can even go to second story and get some LTE. But, downstairs -111db and virtually no signal at all. Fortunately I have Wifi at home.
Good Luck

I had the same issue with the new modem not sticking. The only way it worked for me was to flash it 2 or 3 times in a row. Seems like this is not uncommon. The new modem did help fix my data drops so it's worth the trouble.
Hey guys, i am using my N9005 on modem NB1(or NB3, not sure which one was which...) and I have extremely bad 4G signal, very close to none. Before upgrading to KK and messing with the modems,bootloaders, etc, my 4G was almost always full signal, now I barely get any. Can anyone please point me out to which is the best modem for Denmark (Telenor), please?

Avoid messing with the modem/bootloader by flashing the Stock firmware.
That should be fine.
You misunderstand my question... I will keep being on custom roms, that will never change
I was asking which stock firmware and modem was for Denmark. As I have seen, different firmwares were out for different countries. I am just seeking the one for my country

So I don't understand why you are asking stock firmware and modem for Denmark? You should search for BTU firmware, that is available in sammobile.com.
