[Q] How Do I Get To MF9 From MK2? Sprint S4

So i updated to MK2 firmware this morning from OTA with my phone running Stock 4.3 MJA. I now realize there's a problem, as it WILL NOT LET ME TURN WI-FI ON. Each time I try, it force switches it off and brings up a KNOX notification saying that the attempt has been blocked. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to get back to the older firmware such as MF9 from MK2 right now? Also, I tried going back to MDC using Odin 3.07 and Odin 1.85, neither worked. Please help.

You can't.. Once your on MJA that's where you are stuck although I believe you can go from MK2 to MJA but that's about it. Otherwise there is no downgrading to any previous firmwares. Please read through the threads... All answers are here if you read...

Hmmmm...I'm now on MK2...just hoping there's some way to get back to MJA even. Also, another thing has caught my eye when the phone turned on. Music force closes and sound doesnt work one bit. Is there any way to factory restore the device at the moment with/ without using Odin? Like an MK2 factory reset file?

I tried the link, although their servers are down so I'm unable to download anything from that site. Is the file I have to download a large 1.53 GB file? Also, Sound doesnt work and Music force closes when i try to use it. Do you know of a way to hibernate or kill any knox related processes in the system so that it stops turning my Wifi off?

Negamann WonderROM has a working r26 ROM that he just finished building today with verified MK2 kernel that works with wifi.

If he didn't take the ota he could of went back. Is that correct? Taking the ota locks the bootloader. If he updated with Odin and Philz recovery he could of keep the mf9 bootloader allowing him to down grade
Love the 90s good times

Waiting for the OP to post back if he was successful in downgrading MK2 to MJA by running the full MJA tar file. I know you can't go back farther than MJA but hoping we can at least downgrade back to MJA if we need to after a failed upgrade or bad ota.

I have downgraded mk2 to mja working fine no Knox flags tripped (still at 0×0). 100% stock everything.

I actually took the OTA from MJA to MK2. thought it would be a better update since it said that before i installed it. Instead, it causes more bugs on my phone, where i cant use Wifi and even play Music, let alone the fact that no sound plays at all on anything and i can't make a call...as the Phone app freezes when i try to make a call.

Please tell me what files you used. because at this point, I just wanna watch a simple Youtube video and call my friends! All of my data (contacts, pics, music) is already backed up on my computer. I don't have Root and i tripped the knox flag once so it says 0x1 which pissed me off

Hey thanks for being great helpers with helping me and my phone troubles...apparently my phone works again! Knox is not blocking my wifi and my sound and Music and Calls and everything is working! I'll post a new thread if any problems arise with this update. But to be honest...stick with MJA guys. Don't go through the same trouble i went through. Too much stress to handle when u can't make a single call or play your fave song or even connect to your beloved Wifi hotspot!

I can confirm that you can downgrade from mk2 to mja as I have done it. They process want difficult at all. Going that OP can get it going and it works out for them.

Ok one question...when u downgraded, where did u find the file? And did the file wipe your data?

I used this. It did wipe everything from my phone. I just made sure to back up everything I wanted to save on my sd card using super backup. You can find that on the play store.

I had the same issue with WiFi not working and get the message. (For details: On a Stock rooted S4, Updated the Security policy and then flashed the MK2 modem).
I went to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42954149 and followed the exact instructions to go back to MJA. It worked. I didn't lose anything. Only a ~26mb download.
Hope this helps.

I had the exact same problem as the OP with wifi and KNOX notifications upon toggling wifi. This had to do with a bad update which I believe was a result of rooting my phone. Something is weird with recovery after rooting the phone with cf autoroot as it no longer looks like the stock MJA recovery. So when I manually installed the MK2 update using what I believed was the stock recovery, I experienced serious issues such as what the OP described.
In any case, I used ODIN to flash the MJA tar which restored everything back to normal. Then I used the stock recovery to apply the update zip file and everything went without a problem. Then I flashed cf autoroot with ODIN and again, the recovery looks different from the stock MJA and MK2 recovery, but everything works fine. I did not do a data wipe during any step of the process and have seen no ill effects so far.
So the take home message is, if you rooted the phone ODIN stock MJA or MK2 if it becomes available before applying any future updates manually. Or ODIN a stock recovery file for your current ROM if one is available. KNOX has nothing to do with this. I disabled KNOX and still could not turn on wifi.

What if you have mf9 baseband? Can i down grade from mk2 to mf9 and if so how do I do this?

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

[Q] Noob here, Help Needed (what's new)

Hello,
First off I am very new to this. I always try to be as careful as possible and do as much research as I can. I follow all the steps as directed and ask questions ahead of time before screwing things up.
My problem now is I accepted an OTA update to 4.3 from what I thought was a stock 4.2.2. Apparently I was wrong and the superUSER app was still installed on my phone. I no longer have the ability to use my WiFi- (I switch the toggle and it just stays off) I have tried to reset and restore. I have tried to delete all data and re-install. I have tried everything I'm comfortable with at this point. I dont know if I should try using ODIN to flash stock since I probably have a knox bootlocker and dont want to do more damage. I am posting photos because I noticed my naseband and my build number don't match up. I am afraid im stuck in between 4.2.2 and 4.3. I would greatly appreciate any advice or even a push in the right direction. I have been searching trying to find a solution for over a month and the most I can get is... "your an idiot, dont update OTA while rooted, etc etc" Hindsight is 20/20. Thank you again for your time.

I am not an expert but from what Im seeing your on a 4.3 rom but the modem did not update. Your modem is still mf9. I would flash a 4.2 rom and go from there. I don't want to give the wrong info hopefully someone can chime in that knows more than me.

Yeah that is what I was noticing as well. I have soft bricked my phone twice now trying to use odin and going back to a stock 4.2. The flash says fail everytime. I am wondering if KNOX is blocking ODIN from flashing the new ROM. Thanks for your quick response and I guess this means I am on the right path. Now I just need to find a way to flash a stock 4.2 on my fluster clucked half 4.2 half 4.3 phone.

I do know that once you're on MJA there's no going backwards. Try odining the modem. Make sure you turn your phone off...then boot to DL mode. Don't just boot to DL mode seems to work better that way.

I would suggest first trying to reinstall your mf9 modem via odin , if that doesn't work I'd try to install the mja modem via odin. You can find the links to files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42954149&postcount=2

Any time I try to flash my "stock" firmware, Odin says "Fail!

Sounds like you're trying to flash a firmware other than MJA or MK2. You are most likely on the latest firmware and trying to flash a previous one.Look for an MJA or MK2 and you should be good to go.

Hey thanks for responding. I have been trying to flash the MK2 firmware over and over again using the newest Odin. I have also gottent he phone working again by loading a stock rom off external_sd, but now my wifi isn't working. I know that's an issue with the Modem not being updated, correct? Everytime I attempt to install the MX2 firmware it FAIL! (Auth). The only thing Odin seems to want to install is custom recoveries. Gladly, I am not bricked, but I did stay home from my first class today to fix my phone Any idea on getting the WiFi working?
ROM I Installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586586

Unfortunately, I tripped the KNOX Flag, but I'm not worried about my warranty currently because I do know what I'm doing for the most part, except this is my first time rooting/unlocking a phone instead of a tablet so it's much more intricate.
Thanks

Although I'm still on MJA I've heard of people having success by just flashing the MK2 modem. Just look for the modem and flash it with Odin.

Dude what I'm saying is I try to flash the MK2 Modem file, but Odin just gives me a "FAIL! (Auth)" error every time.
I also figured out that my phone and Kies is reporting the following:
PDA: MK2
Phone: MK5
CSC: MK2
Is MK5 even a thing???? I'm so confused
UPDATE:
So I didn't realize that I had the SPH-720T so I was trying to flash the wrong firmware, and when I installed the custom rom, my firmwares were mismatched; therefore causing the errors. It's flashing the MX5 PDA file successfully as we speak. I will update further on what happens.
UPDATE 2:
The Firmware installed as it should have and my wifi is indeed working again. Phone is clearly functioning and everything seems to be in order. Now I will never touch my phone ever again until I learn more about the ROMs and compatibility.

I haven't tried because that file isn't the modem its the whole 4.3 rom and boot loader. that's why it's 2.1 GB. I ended up bricking my phone until I found the MX5 firmware. so I have no clue. I'm done messing with Roms until developers start working on the triband version of the S4

downgrade problems sph-l720

help. I updated my galaxy sph-L720 s4 the official 4.4 kik kat. note that I did not like this version and decided I had to take it back 4.3 mk2. to flash it with odin I get fail. anyone can help me how to return it to the mk2 version. Now I get the cell as 2 small computers, or I will be left in download mode and can not do.

The easy answer is that you cannot go back. It is impossible at this point to downgrade through odin. Once on 4.4.2 you can't go to 4.3. Also 4.3 to 4.2.2.

Ok now I get ya. Unfortunately one you took that 4.4 OTA that's where your phone is now going to stay. You can't downgrade firmwares like we used to. So you're going to have to Odin back 4.4. However once you that you can root it, install a recovery, and then install a stock 4.3 ROM.
That'd be your only way. Your bootloaders stuck on nae now

Yes. Once back on stock 4.4 you can root install custom recovery and THEN flash whatever ROM your heart desires, mk2 if you wanted.
I myself haven't rooted or done anything to an S4 with the nae bootloader like you have, but I'm sure the information is on here for you.

thanks for all the great info...i wanted to post this in the development forum; however, since im new i need 10 posts to do so
anyway, heres my question: with 4.2.2 there was a hotspot mod for the services.odex and .jar files(mad props to crawrj!!!)....then fgr modded those files to work with 4.3....the difference is in the usb tether. Im using the Cradlepoint MBR1000 router b/c it has USB ports to receive my 3G/4G internet off my Sprint Galaxy S4....i use this combination to supply internet from my phone through the router into my entire home!!!! its been working awesome, but i accidentally accepted the 4.3 upgrade and now the usb tether option under settings/connections/more networks/tethering/usb tethering stopped working with the router ???? i can usb tether to my pc, but when usb tethered to the router, my phone says, "no usb device connected"
i am rooted, have usb debugging checked.....but dont know how to get this up and running again.
granted the naive hotspot technique from qbking77 works great; however, only 2 devices can be wirelessly tethered at any one time - thus the need for the router...and i prefer a usb tether for streaming.
CAN YOU HELP ME? Or at least pass my issue on to someone who can pm me or something....being a nube really sucks..lol..thanks!

Yes. Once back on stock 4.4 you can root install custom recovery and THEN flash whatever ROM your heart desires, mk2 if you wanted.
I myself haven't rooted or done anything to an S4 with the nae bootloader like you have, but I'm sure the information is on here for you.
