what does the build number mean? I updated my baseband to mja keeping the mf9 bootloader. Then I backed up nandroid and tried to go back. Well now I have the mja baseband but I have mf9 build number. The phone is working but I would like to fix it.
Baseband and build number are independent of each other. When you update firmware, it stays that way unless you Odin in a different modem. The MF9 build number means that you are still on the 4.2.2 based MF9 ROM.To correct this, just install a 4.3 based MJA or MK2 ROM via custom recovery or Odin.

I stayed on 4.2.2 rooted with TWRP and never took the MJA/MK2 OTAs, to avoid knox. I've been waiting for KitKat, and I'm ready to take the plunge. I've read through a bunch of threads, and have thoroughly confused myself. I have a few basic questions, so I can determine what my options are:
1) Is it possible to go from MF9 (rooted) to NAE, and retain my data? What happens to the modifications I made to MF9 (hotspot, xposed, etc.)?
2) If the answer to 1 is no, is it reasonable to assume that there will be a flashable NAE rom in the near future, so that I wouldn't have to odin to MK2 before going through the OTA update to NAE?
3) Should I give up on trying to keep my existing bootloader, and just suck it up and take knox? It seems like there's probably enough differences in the rom and modem that the bootloader is probably a necessary evil at this point.
Thanks in advance for your help.
There have been several reports of people whose WiFi and data have worked just fine with the NAE ROM plus older bootloader like MF9. I'd wait until a stock rooted NAE ROM appears so we can try it with the knox-free MF9 bootloader.

I am in the same situation and currently on a stock rooted MF9 with a custom recovery as well. I would like to know the best upgrade path to 4.4.2 and hopefully stay on a knox free boot loader.

Once Warboy releases the updated stock, rooted NAE, I'm gonna flash it with Philz recovery to see whether everything's compatible with the Knox-free MF9 bootloader. In the meanwhile, I'm gonna flash just the NAE modem. Cant wait for Kitkat~! (Even though I've had the 4.4.2 update for a long time through my Nexus 5, I'm still very excited, LOL~)

I'm in same boat
on MF9 , didnt even go to 4.3, still sitting at 4.2.2 (with the update icon in my status bar, but i assume its for 4.3 not kit kat)
Im rooted and have exposed installed
would rather have a knox free loader too!
if anybody can advise on the best route to take would be lovely
would like to have kit kat on my phone today!!
I was on this boat but last night flashed the gummy Rom. It is okay but I would love to have the stock Rom. I don't like few things on the Gummy.

Lol I've been wondering if anyone else stayed on 4.2.2. Lol Im rooted with custom recovery. I hit the update button the other night and it wouldn't install and that icon went away, so I got that going for me. But I can't wait for kit kat, just waiting on the whole knox deal.

Yeah I have MF9 and I could keep the same.
I had issues with BT connection with my BMW but works fine with BT headset.
Home screen kind of wacky and you can't select the one that you like.
I just went back to 4.2.2 again until I find a good one.
Yikes
I'm in the same situation, living on my phone with MF9, have TWRP/Custom Recovery installed, and am interested to upgrade to Kitkat. I'm very interested to know what will be the upgrade method for me to 4.4.2, similar to many others in this thread.
I'm on slimkat now and all is working great. Only drawback is no theme chooser

Which KitKat rom did you use? Did it just upgrade your OS or did you have to start from a clean install? Any issues with Knox?

i used Slimkat, but it froze occasionally. now im on CM 11 and its FLAWLESS
did clean install (but had some apps backed up with Titanium)
to my knowledge the whole Knox thing is with Touchwiz based roms
both slimkat and CM 11 are not,so no worries about Knox
I am still on MF9 modem and bootloader
gonna get around to flashing the NAE modem later though

Alright. I'm personally looking to update only to official rom and NAE modem, not custom rom. Hoping I can do upgrade instead of clean install but hoping to get root access back or keep it at least.
Ok so i dont think i care about the knox thing anymore.. So with that said i would like to upgrade to 4.4.2 with the stock sprint rom. What is the best way to go about that? Sorry im just confused with the bootloader and modem flashes.. Its been awhile since ive had a samsung phone.. Im assuming i cant do the OTA due to TWRP....
I am running completely stock and rooted with saferoot,
4.2.2
baseband mf9
bootloader mf9
TWRP installed
please help
Can you just unroot and install the NAE ota then reroot with cf auto root? This is coming from stock rooted mk2.
I tried to update my sph l720 to unknownforce kitkat rom ....BUT
after i flashed the NAE modem and then flash the ROM after wipe...wipe...wipe....format...format ...format
My wifi and 3g data are OK....working.
but I can not make or receive any calls......Just i can receive SMS?
So what is the problem?
please help me
The Solution:
1)Flash mf9 stock odin file.
2)dial the code ##786# to return to sprint defaults.
3) update one by one...mf9>>mja>>mk2 then flash the NAE .
4) Flash the phone again to my local carrier using DFS.
Now all things are working great.
Have you updated profile and prl? What recovery did you flash with. What where you on prior to???

That means your firmware has already been updated to a version newer than MF9. Once you have gone to 4.3 (MJA or MK2) you can't go backwards to 4.2.2 (MF9). IF you have already upgraded to Kit Kat 4.4 (NAE) then you can't go backwards at all.

Thanks for your help cruise350. The knowledge of MF9, MJA, MK2, NAE helped me alot. Finally it's working now perfectly. I am running hellkat rom (NAE) now.

@dreamii, I'm confused? I am running the MK2 along side KK without issues. Did you have problems with the baseband? Did you upgrade to NAE baseband to get your calls to come in and is that what solved your problems?
Just trying to understand where it went wrong? LoL!

What I was running MK2 and hellkat 4.4 rom, I couldn't get any outgoing or incoming calls. And there is this sound issue also. The speakers, the headphone jack wasn't working. After I upgraded to NAE, it worked smoothly. In my case, combo of KK 4.4 and MK2 firmware was giving me trouble.
So this is what I did.
1. NAE stock 4.4 rom
2. NAE firmware flash with Odin 3.07
3. Wipe clean stock rom/cache
4. Install hellkat rom
Works like a charm now. :good::good::good:

Did you try other KK Roms? Did it still have the same issues? Maybe a bad download?
Coud'nt you have just flashed the NAE modem then update PRL/Profile? Most times that should fix it.

I did try other KK Roms when I was at MK2 + some JB roms also. Same issue. I tried stock unrooted KK rom, TriForce JB rom, Omni Rom, Avatar KK rom. All had same issue.
I didn't thought of just flashing NAE and updating PRL/Profile... huh.. Should have done that so it save some times for me.
FYI, I just rooted a S4 with the MF9 BL and flashed LS KK with no issues, everything works.

You can't update with the ota, it will fail. You need to bring your phone to stock mk2 first. Easiest way is to odin the mk2 stock tar file.

hello
i need downgrade 4.4 to 4.3 via odin and 4 files
please help me
I think device will probably reject it if you try to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3 because of bootloader, but not sure, but surely it happens when you down to 4.2
1. Firmware you can find in sammobile
2. If it fails, the only way is recovery flash CWM package
it will fail, i have i9500 and it failed from 4.3 to 4.2.2, and from 4.4.2 to 4.3.....and i think the two devices are the same in terms of knox
I was successfully flashed 4.3 after 4.4.2... downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 failed...
sent using voodoo magic
you can downgrade but you need to remove KNOX
You can write how you did it.
I tried and received an error. Luckily managed to get back to 4.4.2 and the phone works. What ROM and what Odin. Please help me.

Hello,
I have samsung SGH I337 phone and its not rooted. I bought this phone in Sep 13 and unlocked with some code. Currently its stuck at 4.2.2. and I want to upgrade the phone to latest 4.4.* . As I unlocked the phone, this stopped getting update from ATT and dont show any available updates.
Can someone share the process to upgrade to latest kitkat ?
First, if you're on mdb or mdl firmware you might want to reconsider upgrading. If you are you have the ability to use twrp or cwm custom recoveries and easily flash roms
But if you still want to go ahead and update then flash the nb1 tar file in Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149
This will wipe your device so backup anything on your internal sdcard. You will not lose the sim unlock.

Forgive my ignorance but can you tell me what is the significance of mdb or mdl firmware. Also does upgrading the Android would create any issues on my phone.
Need one more information on Kitkat version i.e. which kitkat version is stable and has no issues.

You're on mdl firmware. There are users here who would love to be on that firmware version. Being on mdl allows you to run custom recoveries. With newer firmware you can only use safestrap as a custom recovery which limits what you can flash.
Edit, once you go to nb1 firmware you will not be able to go back to mdl.
But you said you're not rooted and have not run custom recoveries. So if that is not important to you then flashing the nb1 firmware will up grade you to 4.4.2 kk.

If you upgrade to 4.4.4, and want to flash custom roms you'll have to use safe strap. If you keep 4.2.2 you can flash 4.4 roms also. I wouldn't recommend updating, but it's your choice.
