Hello everyone.
I recently got a GS4, and it has the MF9 update. I've been suffering from poor data connection, dropped signal, etc. After doing some searching, I've found that it is a well known problem.
My questions for you guys:
1) If I root and install a custom rom based on MF9, will I have the same issues?
2) Would I be better off just rooting and installing the latest OTA before MF9?
Thank you!
Custom rom might help. I'm stock rooted mf9 and have no problem whatsoever.

Your connections issues are with your phone (hardware or software), sprint's network or you location.
Doubtful that a ROM will make 'much' difference if you already have problems.
What might help is starting at complete stock MF9 - rwilco12 has a full 'one-click' with root here There is also a full wipe (clears the data partition too) that might be a better option for starting out.
Then once you get your phone activated update the PRL and then the Profile.
THEN maybe start thinking about ROMs. Spend some time looking reading and then reading some more and you will find what you need.
Im having signal issues but they are workinh on lte upgrades right now in my area I got much better connection today after flash comadose mod, I went from around 500 kbps to 2 mbps quite a change and I love it but im still having trouble with 3g dropping out completely still in areas I get 2mbps and then it comes back after like a couple mins sometimes I see an ehrpd error code when it happens

Thanks for all the great info. I'm just at a loss as to what the problem could be. I don't think it's the phone itself; the previous owner said he had zero issues with it. I thought it could be Sprint's crappy network, but I activated my iPhone 5 for a few hours and had none of the issues I have on the GS4

Well since you say you got it used - from someone else, I'd re-iterate reloading the entire stock MF9 from the .tar (or one-click) to reload/reset all partitions and take it back to stock. Without starting fresh you (and us here) have no real idea what is on it.
Then again with what I recommended previously.

Did you restore via Odin? or just the zip(s)
If problem persists after full Odin to stock, updating PRL and Profile then I'd say it's your device. Look at warranty. You could try some tweaks like ComaDose etc. But if they don't do the trick then I don't know.

Hi guys, first of all let me share al my specs in order to place my question properly:
PHONE MODEL: Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (the original stock kernel was: Build Date: 30.05.2013 -> Region: TCE (Mexico) PDA: I337MUMUAMDL Changelist: 518267 Android: 4.2.2)
Actual Rom: CyanogenMod -version: 10.2 10.2-20130923-nightly -jftlecan
Compilation number: cm_jfltecan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G eng.jenkins.20130923.022829 test-keys
Recovery Mode: CWM via Rom Manager Pro app
So saying that I will say this: I came from stock to CM wiping Factory Reset and data/cache only and I used Odin for rootint the device....no problems at all, runs like a charm...
MY ISSUE #1: A couple of auto-updates ago (via Rom Manager), I start to notice that the radio bars (telephony signal, mobile internet signal bars) were from 1 to 2 bars in places I always get full bars (I live on a 7th floor with excelent signal at Mexico City). I searched on the forums (XDA developers and here) and it seems that ROOTED DEVICES SHOW THE REAL SIGNAL PROVIDED BY THE CAREER---->can someone confirm this? Is my phone showing the real signal strenght?, eventhough, keep reading to see that low signal bars are only the beginning...
So as i said, I didnt worry pretty much, because if the bars are little low, but i have a good quality service, who cares? but the REAL PROBLEM appears when another update came and when Im trying to use my mobile internet (4g or 3G, doesnt matter) the signal cuts exactly at the moment of loading a page or any info....it as happened with almost all apps (specially Facebook, Waze and Google Maps)
It happens as follows:
1.- Open any app, like Dolphin browser or Firefox
2.- Page starts to load info (LTE showing download and upload state)
3.- LTE-3G or whatever, shuts down (I see only the telephony signal bars and there is no internet signal)
4.- Wait few seconds, LTE-3G whatever is back...have to try again and agin until LTE remains steady (sometimes it wont until I reboot)
ISUE #2- DURING CALLS:
- Sometimes people cant hear me, but I can hear them...restart the phone and the issue fixes it self...buts is very annoying to restart my phone every single time somebody calls me and they cant hear me
I dont know what to do guys? Shall I wait until final CM10.2 comes to light? Somebody has this bug also? Is this bug part of CM? or there is another app making this rare behaivour...(do you recommend me another ROM for this model of GS4??)
EDIT: I tried to flash the original modem.bin (via ODIN) which is used by my carreer (TELCEL, son of Slim AKA "The richest man on Babylon :silly: is the company´s name). So until now, I can tell that in my first attempts of opening pages or facebook, the randomly LTE turning off-on continues...I will keep testing with this "orginal" flashed modem....

It's defiinitely a modem issue. You can flash new modems and try. (backup efs before doing so, actually if you dont already have one - do it before now and save yourself some grief)
If that's not fixing the issues...
I'd backup what you need and start fresh. It would be the easiest way to resolve all your issues. Maybe even try a different kernel set for your region and phone.
Kies has a useful firmware recovery option that sets you back to stock.
The Kies will use your model number and serial to get you your stock firmware and reset you back. Id wipe all data under settings then do it. After its done, do another factory reset in recovery.

Thanks for that advice, i guess Im going to do all that if a new kernel doesnt fix the issue (I havent found any kernel for my region which supports Android 4.3, only 4.2.2, and someone told me is not correct to install such a kernel). Good day to you!

So after done all the "back to stock" steps, I still get this questions:
1.- Would I still be ROOT but with stock firmware (Touchwiz) and cool features originally made for Samsung GS4? (such as air gestures, etc etc)
2.- If im "unrooted" by the steps described in your link, can I upgrade to 4.3???
Thanks you are so kind!
Check out GoldenEye ROM or MDOB ROM in the development forum. They are extremely stable, super fast, tw and excellent battery life. CM is awesome, but is seriously way to flawed for our S4's right now to use for day to day life.

Thanks. I successfully installed stock Rom (Touch Wiz) and the signal has been impecable (full vars and excellent internet speed). I have to say that stock Rom is faster than CM in its current state I'm having a better experience right now ( and didn't had the time to explore all the Samsung apps in their depth) thanks again for your kind help!!!

Well I just went back to original stock firm ware via Kies, and now the radio signal issues are gone!! CM 10.2 didn't work well for me as the stock rom is now working in my phone. Something tells me that some times it's better to just rooting (for enjoying cool apps as Greenify) and not installing custom Roms (because all this kernel carnival is just to much, and appart of all we have to install radio firmware? Just no!)

So... I did the stupid thing. I attempted to go back to my old MF9 backup through TWRP after upgrading to MJA, and now my wifi won't even turn on. I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours now, trying various fixes. I've tried to use ODIN to flash back to complete stock, but that just destroys my phone until I flash a recovery through ODIN. Everything I've seen on the forums so far has made it seem as though there is no hope since Samsung added in Knox.
I'm sorry if this has been resolved elsewhere, but I've literally been searching the General. Q&A, Android Development, Original Android Development, and Developer forums for several hours today with no luck. Can someone please help me with this? I just want my phone to be fully functional again...
EDIT:
Here's the deal; my main problem was with Wifi not working. The Stock MF9 Kernel was not working, but the 4.2.2 TW Kernel found here finally did.
did you try this?

i just gave up on trying to do a restore. I actually used Titanium to get as much information from my old backup as possible then just rolled with it. I know that probably isn't what you wanted to hear but that what worked for me.. hope that helps
I have read that the WiFi issue may be a Kernel issue.. Did you try a different TouchWiz kernel and see if it worked out?

This is actually what I was trying to do, sadly. Titanium was backing up my info to the phone storage rather than the SD card, and I had to do a data wipe to get to MJA, so I lost them. I figured I could restore to my MF9 backup to redo them, and that's when the trouble started.
I finally got it working. I had to try several different kernels until one finally worked. Now about flashing a new ROM...

Scott, check my first post. I edited it with a link to the page with the kernel I used. Make sure that you choose the correct kernel for your Android version. The MF9 and MJA designators have nothing to do with which kernel you need, so make sure to check in your "aboout phone" section to find out what android version you're running. Using the 4.3 kernel on 4.2.2 will cause a bootloop, which is easily fixed by flashing the correct kernel.

GPS is very important for my line of work, and I'm trying not to panic.
I'm on MK2. I've been using stock and SHOstock ROM flawlessly since getting the phone just before Christmas. I've NEVER had any GPS issues. Ever.
I decided to flash the Safestrap version of Hyperdrive on ROM Slot 1, along with MK2 kernel module. Installed fine. I flipped back to STOCK rom(SHOstock), until I had time to mess with the new ROM. On the way home from work, I realized I had no GPS.
Using GPS Tools and GPS Fix apps, no satellites showing at all.
I've done everything I can think of, including using ODIN to flash back to stock MK2. Still no dice.
Can anyone give a guy a hand? I'm currently running stock and have re-rooted using saferoot(the same way I rooted previously).
Thanks in advance!

Nothing has happened to the phone(no drops/spills/etc). It started right after flashing the new ROM, so I'm fairly certain it has to be related.

Dlp22, I have the same problem, did you solve it?
any suggestion!
I had the same problem after upgrading to MK2, almost on the verge of getting rid of GS4 and switching to another device. But for now, I have fixed it by installing Hyperdrive RS13 using Safestrap on Stock slot (did take a backup of the stock slot before wiping it out)...

they sent it to the wrong address and so it is not arriving until this afternoon and will test and report asap.
OK i have the replacement phone and am using it and it clearly gets a better signal on MJE as it arrived. where i am using it and after upgrading to 4.2.2 i would get No Mobile Network and that doesnt seem to be happening or show any signs of happening by signal strength.
what if anything should i test/try before root and upgrade?
sidenote: root was needed asap as the N3 tried to download KK almost every 2 minutes and had to freeze SDM just to use it without turning off data.

It's a known issue with S5 browser; that's why I left it harder to read. Check Post #2 for more details. You can handle it, revert to Note 3 browser or use the builtin Chrome, which is better for me. Some S5 apps require S5 firmware & so, they're working perfect on v2.0.

You do realize you should be running the MJE modem on 1.3.3/1.4, right? You upgrade to NC2 or the full MJE upgrade process with JasmineROM 1.4, then you go back into download and flash the MJE modem. Tons of people here have had to do that - I get much better reception on MJE modem. There are no issues with running MJE modem on NC2/NC4 firmware (stock, Baja, Jasmine, Hyperdrive, etc)

Sure, just pointing out that firmware and modem are unrelated. I run MJE modem on NC4 firmware. It takes literally about 2 minutes to flash different modems, so you may still want to try MJE and NC2 modems on your current firmware to see how they compare to NC4 modem.
Loaded up 1.4 so far with no problems so far. One question I do have is how do I get rid of that pesky WiFi connected notification? I tried wanam but it still seems to show up. I don't want it to even show up the first time.

At home, this happens when I'm in the same room as the router. These symptoms started happening after the OTA updates, but seem to have gotten continually worse. I've tried the usual settings changes to no avail.
Is there any reason to believe that putting a custom rom on my S4 will solve the wifi stability issue? If so, I'd happily give it a shot before I completely give up and get a new phone. And, I've had the hardest time trying to figure which guide to use to install a custom rom. I have a US AT&T SGH i337 that is running 4.4.2, and the Baseband version is I337UCUFNC1, Kernal version 3.4.0-1125940. I rooted my s4 using towelroot.
Thanks for the help, hoping I can fix my S4 and keep it...
If it were me I'd flash the nb1 tar file and see if I had the same Wi-Fi issue. You might have a hardware issue. If everything worked then I'd take the ota to nc1. If you have a problem now it's probably the modem image.
Use the rootable nb1 tar file, it's rootable with towelroot.
Flashing the tar in Odin will wipe your device so make sure you backup first.

Thanks for the help. I'll see if I can figure out how to do that
