I have a problem with my S4. I tried updating to a the new Negalite MF9 r10 update for my MF9 Samsung S4. I have a problem though, after I updated the rom, I reboot the system only to find the little green android guy saying downloading. Basically it is in download mode. I was wondering if there is any way to transfer a new rom onto phone via recovery? I have a back up from a different rom which I thought I made a backup for the Negalite ROM.
Is there anyway I can transfer a new ROM onto the phone in download mode? It's a dumb question but I cannot figure it out.

Perhaps there is a way to do it with Odin? Or does Odin only work with .tar files?
Nevermind, I just used the old backup and it worked. I guess I'll try a different rom since I tried to flash negalite r10 from scratch again and I got the same error.
Not sure if you noticed, but r10 is for MJA not MF9. If you are on the MF9 bootloader and modem you need to follow the instructions in this post to get r10 to work.

That's odd because I downloaded the r10 version from the MF9 thread shown here.

I suppose I'll just try another rom and if that doesn't work, I'll update the S4 with the link you provided, thanks.

Hello guys,
I installed the ROM under this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288531&page=13
The flashing of the ROM was successful but the only thing that it's not working with this flash is that I'm unable to turn on my wifi feature.
Is there a way to fix this without remodifying the ROM?
Any help will do. Thanks guys!!

First just an FYI questions go in the QA section. This will be moved there by a Mod so just giving you a heads up. Were you on MDC or MDL before you flashed the rom?

That's what I was thinking. That Rom is MDC based. So you have MDL Firmware but MDC System. If you want to stick with that rom here is what I would do. Make a backup. Odin the stock MDC tar twice, don't ask just better this way . Install custom recovery back on. Restore only the system. You should be fixed. Or you could probably get away with just installing the MDC Kernel. You can find the tar and kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256514
Flash a custom kernel and your Wifi will work.

That's a great suggestion there crawjr. I will try the kernal suggestion first if anything. Even though i feel uncomfortable messing with the kernel system. Sorry for the noob questions I haven't been on this page for ages since the G2 was first released lol. :good:
Sorry about these questions all Im sure they are newb but I just want to make sure before I go about doing anything....
1. I am rooted on MF9 and thinking about going to the google Rom is there a 4.3 out for the Sprint version or it just 4.2.2 just need a no or if yes a little link to help me out due too I have not seen one.
2. If I go to google rom and decide I want to go back to MF9 how do I go about doing this in odin do I use official MF9 software? or what?
The GE rom posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345386
is off of the 4.2.2 GE S4.
If you're looking for a rom based off of 4.3, give the Cyanogen Rom 10.2 nightly a shot, located here. http://get.cm/?device=jfltespr

To go back to stock, you can either flash the stock M9F rom through custom recovery, or odin everything back to stock using this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471

Use either the post above for pure stock or this
Download Deodexed No Data Wipe Tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471
For stock + root + busybox
Assuming you have a custom recovery installed just make a backup in recovery before flashing the new ROM. Then you can revert to your old rim anytime you like.
ok cool thanks everyone for your help new to the S4 things so trying to catch up yea Im running MF9 Rooted at the moment with CWM about to see what this google rom and just trying to make sure I don't brick my phone taking it calm and easy for a bit will get more gutsy soon enough lol
ok i had the sprint gs4 but traded it for the htc one.. but i dont remember how i did it.. but he is still on MDL and he wants to be on MF9.. i rooted his phone months ago put twrp on it and flashed freegs4 rom.. i just went to his house to try and update it for him and i flashed the firmwear update in odin everything went great i looked in about phone and its still MDL?? so how do i update him to MF9 the rite way>? thanks
Grab the full Odin frimware tar and flash that. It'll bring it up to MF9 completely stock. Then use CF Autoroot to get root, install goomanager and install twrp or cwm.

The baseband shows as MDL still?
Or the software version does? Or both?
If you're on an old version of freegs4, it's probably based off of a MDL build, and the software version would still show MDL.
Check the baseband.

Its better if you just flash him straight mf9 stock rather than just flash an mf9 rom. Could save him and you from any troubles. Like the one your encountering now.

I think leader builder had the best solution then. A full reload of the MF9 firmware then reroot with chainfire.

Question is HOW did you 'get it'?
What is your current ROM and how did you get/install that?
I got the modem from the tri force rom, i was on a mf9 stock rom, it got changed to mk2. My current rom is slim bean 4.3 2.2 final, and i got it from the official site
Try going to a stock MK2 ROM to see if that fixes your issue.

You could not have gotten the modem from a ROM. It is not included in any of them. If you are flashing some 4.3 ROMs without using Odin to update the modem, you could run into issues.

Honestly, i tried using odin to update my modem but everytime it'd fail when i tried, so i gave up, but when i downloaded the tri force rom that's based on mk2 for some odd reason it said my baseband was now mk2, so i thought it did it automatically, but now no matter what rom i go to, whether it be jelly bean or kitkat based ones the phone apk lags, freezes up, and messes up everytime

^Try this^ this is by far your best chance!
And what frostedunit said is true also. Modems must be flashed via Odin in download mode.
now my issue is wifi not working ;( i'm on the rom "stock(ish) v01"

You must be on the MK2 modem for Wifi to work on that ROM. Redownload the modem .tar from Unknownforce's thread in development and Odin it in. Sometimes it takes a few tries for it to stick. Just make sure to run Odin as administrator and put the modem .tar in the phone slot.

Is there a single ROM out there for someone who went from MDL(I am pretty sure), who then ODIN'd MF9 way back last year...who then ODIN'd NAE MODEM ONLY, and is able to use their phone or camera, on ANY ROM whatsoever?
ive tried Negalite and SACS...using philz and twrp respectively, full wipes and all...roms install, some better than others...but on neither can I use phone or camera...and in 12 hours I am going to be halfway across the ocean
if anyone who knows of a similar situation, and has an idea for a rom that I can use while currently on MF9 bootloader, but NAE modem...pls help
thanks
Youll have a wayyyy easier time just Odining a full NAE tar..

okay...but my firmware and radio both say nae...whats a full nae tar gonna change?
That's the current version of the official ROM.
Sorry i meant MF9. Since your on MF9 bootloader than you should be able to flash the MF9 tar right? This way your at least back to a normally functioning firmware. Then just flash your favorite rom. I'm not sure about your specific situation. Its a little hectic. Lol but this would be my best guess and probably correct. Lol this way you'll at least have a funtioning device.. right?

true...so odin flash an mf9, like i was originally on, then find another rom thats working on mf9? suggestions? i loved sacs and negalite, but i believe ive got to be nae for those....
Im sure thats not a problem. NAE is simply the baseband/bootloader. This is not affected by rom.

You could try and flash stick rooted nae ROM and if that works for you then dirty flash nega or sacs.
