So to tell you what I did first I Odin'ed back to stock MF9 and from there I flashed the 4.3 updated zip. My galaxy gear seems to be working perfect but I get all confused with having the right modem, bootloader, etc etc etc. And also I thought 4.3 had some thing called My Magazine which I don't see. Here are pics from my phone....does it look like its updated correctly?
You're updated.

I've been flashing ROMs since I got my phone many months ago but, despite flashing CM10.2, Omega 13, Slimbean build 2, etc... it seems that I still have the MDC baseband.
How can I find and flash an updated modem?
I ask because I don't get 4G or LTE on slimbean or Omega and others indicate that they did. I am hoping that an updated baseband will get them working.

Odin back to mdc unrooted and catch the otas to mf9 then use cf auto root to root, do a nandroid backup and flash whatever rom ya want. Thats what id do. I get lte on slim and all aosp roms..

Actually, just odin the full mf9 tar file from sammobile and you won't have to do the OTA crap.

So I Odin'd the MF9 baseband, that didnt help.
Then I Odin'd the entire MF9 ROM - THAT STILL DIDN'T HELP!
Even in stock MF9 I didnt get 4G. I was going to bring it into a sprint store but on a hunch i went to Update PRL (that didnt help) and then
Update Profile - Voila!
So, if anyone else has this problem, flash back to stock and do an "Update Profile."
I have since flashed back to SlimBean and retained my 4G. Still have no idea how I lost it but I'm glad it's back.
here you go bro (link below), Hope this help's it did for me, cheers

Can someone explain how to do 'Update Profile'?
Hi...
I am a nexus user.. When a Google update comes out. I just look for rooted version of update and I install it. Or I install ota and reroot.
Now I have s4.. Rooted.. And cwm recovery. Mk6 is out... I Dont know what to do. I Dont want to erase my setup. Do I just wait for someone to post the update? Flash it with cwm or Odin? Do I unroot first or get a version that is rooted?
Any help to direct me with my options for upgrading so mk6 without losing cwm or root would be appreciated.
Thanks.

best option is to update the baseband using the modem file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542043 which you install using Odin
then flash a 4.3 rom such as GE using CWM
this avoids any issues with the OTA or stock 4.3 firmware, retains cwm and root and gives you the functionality of 4.3
Thanks for the reply and info. Ok.. So modem I can follow instructions in the thread above. No problem. But where do I get mk6 flashable file? What is GE? I am currently on rooted samsung stock 4.2.2. Is GE a custom ROM? Normally when flashing a custom ROM u need to start clean as far as I read. Can I just update my stock with stock? Any one takes ota from samsung and adjust to prevent losing root and cwm?
Thanks

Just figured you mean Google edition .. I understand I can go Google (which needa wipe) but that is not what I am asking now. I would like to update my samsung image to mk6 (4.3 without wipe). If I wanted to go to Google image I would have updated long ago when 4.4 came out but I have been waiting for Samsung's update.
How do samsung rooted stock users update their phones?

Hold on... You said that you were on 4.3 here you are saying that you are on MDC. If you were on 4.3 there is no going back to any previous builds..Unless you updated to 4.3 minus the bootloader. If that's not the case take this and download to the latest 4.3

I am rooted with triforce 3.1 and MF9. What is the best way to get to the latest rooted stock ROM? This is my wifes phone and I have the Note 2 which I brought to 4.3 and there were a few tricky steps, just wondering if it is the same with the S4.
Thanks for any help you may offer!
To update to the most recent firm wear try this link below. And then just flash a 4.3 rom. Hope this is what your looking for.

I just did this last night:

It's stock, already rooted, and you just need to flash the MK2 modem along with it and you'll be set. Worked great for me.
My Galaxy S4 is rooted, but not running a custom ROM. It's currently running 4.2.2 and it downloaded the 4.3 update, but when I apply it, it fails. Is it failing because it's rooted? How can I get it to update to 4.3,or even better, 4.4.2 (Stock ROM, just want it rooted)?
Try searching its not hard. And yes it won't accept because you're rooted and if it did take it you would lose root.
Is there anyway to just download the 4.4.2 update and install it? I want it to be EXACTLY the same as if it had come OTA from Sprint.
Download the tar for NAE and Odin it. Done deal.

How do I do this? Do I have to unroot the phone first?
I'm wondering how you achieved root. Search and learn.
No. If you don't know how to use Odin you have a lot of reading to do.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I honestly don't remember how I rooted the phone. That was 7 months ago. It is completely rooted though, I can do what I need/want to with it, but I want Kitkat and root.
Well first of all you will need Odin, Samsung drivers, and this file on your PC.

Are you in the correct area? Your carrier says Verizon. Their gs4's suck to root.
I am on Sprint. I'll update that. Also, flashed my phone with Kitkat and rooted it. Everything's working fine. Thanks everybody!
