So I decided to take the update to 4.3 and since doing so I went from 3 to 5 bars of 4G to none. I either have 3g or no data at all. I'm not rooted yet and did a factory reset but nothing changed. My question is could I root and flash the last modem before mja or should I just go back to 4.2? Thanks for the info!

There is no going back to anything else once you update to 4.3. Trying to do so will most likely result in a non working phone. Try updating the PRL abs Profile see if that helps any.

Updating prl and profile had no effect. Would it be possible to root and stay on mja but use the mf9 modem? Thanks for the help btw, I appreciate the info.
I also tried updating to mk2 but that still didn't solve the signal issue. I may just take the phone to sprint and see if they'll do anything about it.

I'm on sprint. I woke up this morning to the notification for mk2. It was only a 26mb file so I doubt the update was anything too major, I just thought I may as well update to see if it would fix my signal issue but no luck.

My last phone was a nexus and I could flash different radios with no problem but I wasn't sure if it's doable for the galaxy as well. If I could stay on mja and use an mf9 modem that should fix my signal issues but I thought I'd check here before attempting so I don't brick my phone lol.

The thing is that with the new update, they incorporated Knox which not only makes it difficult but can brick your bad boy if you try going back to an older build... Once you take the OTA 4.3 you're basically stuck there. The only way was to not take the update as there were ways to update minus the bootloader...

Well I meant do you think it would be possible to stay on mja, jand ust flash the mf9 modem to fix my signal issue. I wasn't sure if that was possible with our phone or not. I never should have taken the mja update in the first place.

Like I said once you apply the 4.3 MJA that's what you're stuck for the moment. I dont think you can use anything from any previous builds..

Yes, you can flash the mf9 modem. Are you sure they aren't just working on the tower near you? I would drive to other areas and make sure before you just start flashing things when it turns out to be a tower issue and not a phone issue. Sprint takes towers offline for maintenance all the time.

So it ended up being the sim card. I went to sprint and left my phone with them for an hour and a half and they figured out the update corrupted my sim card, replaced it and I've got 4g again.

Your going to have to be a little more specific.. Ex:Which recovery did you try flashing? What are you on MF9, MJA.

Was on sacs 4.2 rom with MF9. flashed up to Sacs 4.3MJA rom. Didnt really care for it so I restored my backup of sacs 4.2 MF9 using philz touch. I have not done the ota either.

Well, i reflashed sacs 4.3 rom and its working again...I think we will leave well enough alone for the night.
I've been searching around as much as possible but the XDA search function seems to be broken because no matter what I put in the search field it returns no results.
I updated my S4 to the latest OTA and am now on MJA. I rooted it and installed TWRP. Reading all this stuff about MJA and Knox has me worried I might screw something up so I want to make sure before I proceed with flashing roms. Can I flash roms now without worrying? Can I flash 4.4 and not brick my phone? I don't really care about tripping counters or voiding warranties.

Well first off, I don't think TWRP is playing nice with the MJA update at the moment so I would recommend using Philz Touch CWM recovery, Then just head on over to the rom threads,and check them out to see which one would best suit your needs. I myself am running Stock Rooted but it's just my personal preference..:thumbup:

Thankyou, there isn't much concise info on the MJA update and what we can and cannot do with it.

So here's what happened. Unrooted my s4 to get the 4.3 update. Don't care about warranty issues so then I rooted again and installed CWM recovery and then wireless teather hack. After restart it just sticks on sprint screen. Being hasty and stupid I did not back up stock firmware before I installed the teather hack. Is there a way to get the stock rom back on this rooted phone. So far all I can find is the stock firmware to keep the former bootloader. Will this tar file work for me as well? Help greatly appreciated.

If you want to download the stock MJA you can go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47359331 Then you can re root and then use Philz Touch CWM. You should be good to go..

Hey everyone,
I'm currently on a stock rooted mf9 rom with the hotspot mod and I'm encountering a few issues. I can't really have any issues right now as I'm busy with school, so I just want to go back to completely stock, preferably how I got the phone. I knew how to do this on my old og evo, but Samsung phones are very different from old htc phones. Can anyone tell me how to do this (in detail) or can anyone post a link to the directions?
Thank you guys so much in advance.

Thank you so much. That video was actually fantastic.
Is there any chance that I could just download the newest update instead of MF9, or should I go to unrooted MF9 first and then update?
