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.

That's why you flash a stock rooted MF9 ROM if you want to be on the latest and rooted.

S4 rebooting as soon as I boot it!?
Hi!
So I followed Djembeys guide to root my s4 back when ME2/MF2(or smthn in that matter)was the newest firmware avable. But now I wanted to go back to stock and update my phone and as stated in the guide that would be no problem, well OTA didn't work so i did it via Kies. It worked as expected for a while before my phone started freezing and rebooting itself forever, like as soon as i get into the launcher.
Things I've tryed to do:
*Checking in download mode that everything is official, it is, and the phone doesn't seem to reboot while in download mode, should I flash a stock rom, I mean, what if the phone shuts off in the middle of the process?
*Doing a factory data reset via stock recovery, the "android" in recovery falls down and a triangle at his stomach. However the data reset worked, but it didn't solve the problem, still reboots but now when the phone is trying to set itself up.
What can i do guys? You think i can send it back to the store seeing everything is official in download mode?

[Q] Noob bricks his S4...and recovers; but needs help fixing

I successfully installed something like MF9HotspotMod last month and everything was cool until I did the Android 4.3 update. Then I attempted to root the phone again and bricked it for a day with in stuck on the yellow sprint screen until I did my next trick.
I went into recovery and installed jlftespr_mja_text2.zip after trying many attempts I read off of forums. This was the only rom that actually got my phone to work.
Everything looks good except for a had some issues with the phone not working in LTE areas. Sprint said to turn LTE off and set the phone to CDMA only (that really didn't solve the issue but got them off the phone.)
How can I get this back to as close to as possible stock rom, something that will run the Multiwindow App that uses Xpose Installater (the best thing to happen to phones since the G1 came out!), and get free wifi hotspot?
Android 4.3
L720VPUEMJA
Kernal: 3.4.0-1927016
se [email protected]#1
Build Number
JSS15J.L720VPUEMJA

If you want to get back to stock you have a couple of options, download the full MJA tar from sammobile or a mirror site and install via odin, then root it with cf autoroot and install the MJA hot-spot mod. Or download the rooted stock MJA rom from the development section and install then install the hot-spot mod. Simon center you are having problems with your radio, I would recommend starting crash with the full tar.

Nope its this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522810
You need to download that tar file and odin and just flash it. This will delete your internal memory and then try to perform ##27286# in the dial pad and try it and see if it works.

When you say "the tar file"- are you talking about the third one on the of the link you sent, the kernel?

Nope not the kernel just the one of the other two zips. The kernel is built in the the tar file. Just download which ever one. Extract it, you just get a .tar.md5 file. Start odin and put it in the pda slot. Set the phone in download mode. Connect to the phone. Flash it. BTW THIS WILL DELETE YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY SO MAKE A SAFE! BEFORE ANYTHING! Once that is done. Boot into recovery. Should be stock recovery now. Just do a factory reset and reboot. And presto you should be stock mja. Just go to the dial pad and enter ##27286# and it should reboot a couple of times. And see if that helps you.

Now can you tell me what's the best method to root for purposes of getting multi window support and Wi Fi hotspot?

[Q] kitkat root now wifi n hot spot not work? ?

I updated to kitkat today after I unrooted then I used odin v1.85 n the tar.md5 file for rooting the rooting went fine but everytime I try to kick in wifi or hot spot it says" your phones security has blocked an action..."???
Also my baseband is mk2 n my buildnumber is nae

Little more background info after updating I tried to put the nae hotspot mod into my framework n backed up my old ones by putting .bak n restarted the phone n the hotspot nor wifi worked so I removed the modded ones n put back the stock n tried that still didn't work n then unrooted n tried again n neither of the two work I can use any advice that is given Thanks
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Just wondering if you thought about flashing the hotspot mod instead of pushing the files yourself.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Yeah I did but at this point I just want to get my wifi working even without root cause it's not working currently n I'm unrooted n which number do we look at for the hotspot mod the build number or the other one
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

You need to start from scratch, you say you updated to Kit Kat after unrooting?? The reason why your phone isn't working properly is your update didn't complete properly. You have mismatches in your software version and baseband. Did you update with the OTA file or did you install one of the semi custom roms from the development section. Anyway, the wifi problem is probably a mismatch between your baseband and your kernel. Sense your software is NAE and your baseband is MK2 I don't know which hotspot you should use. Straighten out your install first and then you should have working wifi and hotspot.

Well how do I start from scratch to be honest I used the the supersu unroot tool cause mine was stock but rooted but then I hit the install icon in my notification window n it started installing the update n it succeeded n it says I'm on kit kat but software and basband version are on mk2 n my build number is nae ?

Then the update failed. You could try to Odin the NAE modem files but that might not fix you. If it was me, I would try to Odin the stock mk2 file and see if it completes. If it fails, then your bootloader was upgraded to NAE and you won't be able to go stock. If it completes, then you should be fully mk2 again and you can try the ota and hopefully it succeeds this time.if it succeeds everything should show NAE.

"We are do I bet the stock mk2"? I hope you're asking where do you get stock mk2 tar file. If so its in the development section by random45

Are you rooted?
If so, what rom are you running?
This is the exact issue the UnKnownforce is trying to fix in his thread.
Go HERE and search the thread for lockscreen. You'll find many posts concerning this issue. There is no 100% fix yet. Works fine for some and not for others.

That's what I'm guessing he did. Someone said that if you flash with cwm not Philz or Twrp that it works.

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.

Yea i took the Ota everything was nae but my baseband then I flashed the nea modem is

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.
