See picture. Currently still on stock rom rooted, ktoonsez kernel, and still on mdc.
What will be the steps to update to mf9? Can I just flash the firmware and call it a day or are there extra steps?

Check out this link to update your modem. I just got done updating mine and it went super smooth. After your modem if updated to mf9, go and flash any mf9 based rom.

So you're saying that if I flash that file by noobnl to my phone using Odin, once that's done I can just flash ANY custom rooted MF9 rom using TWRP and I'm set?

I would back up your data to be safe and it's always good to do a clean flash with a new rom. Most roms come with a kernel.... FYI, if your WiFi does not work after flashing a Rom, just flash another kernel. Most times that fixes it.

So I just flashed the mf9 rom and it went smooth except for I lost ktweaker app to adjust ktoonsez kernel. Running choppy and such. Going to flash his newest updated kernel. Im still on an older version.

Hello ever since i flashed the crawjs MF9 tar my lte speed is terrible and my friend same phone stock gets 20mbps where i get 1mbps if that ive flashed different roms hoping to fix it i updated profile and prl still no luck someone help me thanks in advance
Go back to stock unrooted and perform a factory wipe.
Or also on a touchwiz ROM do a ##72786# in the dialer. It reactivates your phone.

First confirm that your baseband and software version say mf9 in about device. If not you need to install the modem again. I have experienced, on occasion, where installing the stock tar from Odin doesn't always update everything on the first or sometimes even the second try. Also what Rom version is your friend using? If your modem is mf9 and his is something else maybe the modem is a problem in your area. I am using it with no speed issues.

The rom you flashed is with MJA not mf9, even though it might be possible to upgrade modem through sacs rom it's more than likely to leave you with some bugs, if you decide to try V8 (I highly recommend) let me know how it goes :sly::sly::thumbup:

If you updated by keeping the MF9 bootloader you can go back to stock. If you took the OTA however, you can only downgrade to 4.2 with a custom ROM.

what custom rom would work in my case? if you can give me a link to one.. there are so many here.
If you're on the MJA or MK2 bootloader, you're stuck with it.
And why would you want to go back to 4.2? Any ROM would work, but seems kind of pointless.

If I sound like a jerk then sorry ahead of time. This is not just to you but anyone toying with checking this out. There are many people asking questions that clearly show a lack of understanding regarding this update and what you might end up with if it goes bad. If you are currently on a custom Rom, it is beyond my imagination why you would want to go to a stock Rom that you might not be able to get back from. This forum is already piling up a few users that tried going back to mk2 and are now probably stuck with a coaster till someone releases a full release Odin install. Several very solid devs are quickly putting together something. I would be willing to bet within a week we have a couple projects to choose from.

Through Odin just flash the full mk2 update. Make sure you wipe data or things will be broken, I had to do it twice before everything worked right. This will also give you sock recovery. From that you can just re root the same way you did the first time and then reload a nandroid back up if you have one from your previous rooted room.
Hope this helps you

I have the same problem with NAE build number, but MK2 baseband and software (also MDF security software version if that matters). Did you ever figure out how to solve this? If so how?
For those with mixed nae and mk2. First flash the nae modem thru odin then flash a nae rom. As for now those people who decided not to go full stock to take nae and are stuck this is the only work around for this problem. Until we get a nae tar yall will be stuck for it for another week or so.

Well that makes absolutely no sense. You took the OTA then rooted and flashed the NAE modem??? If you took the OTA why would you have to flash the NAE modem. Something is fishy here. Are you on the NAE upgrade or are you a piece meal install with mismatched bootloader, modem, and software. If you are on stock NAE then the lock screen should work as mine works with all options. If you are on a custom rom, that is where the problem is. Post a screenshot of your about phone info page or list the specifics of what you have so we can further help you.

You might be screwed until the stock tar comes out. If your baseband hadn't changed with the ota, then the update didn't complete. You may still be on the mk2 bootloader. There is suppose to be an app that can tell you what bootloader your on, but I don't know what it is called. You can try to Odin the mk2 tar file. If it completes your golden and then can redo the update. If it fails then you have the NAE bootloader. you can try installing a custom kernel to get wifi back, or see if you can find a copy of the stock NAE kernel.
