I used the MF3 Odin files to Flash back to stock MF3 and re rooted to use Supersu survival mode and I took the OTA Update .safest way to root MK2. It can in fact be done

Urgent Please Need help regarding At&t galaxy s4

i have this galaxy s4 from at&t i have no idea who did this but if you see in the image , you will see different baseband and build version !!
now wifi is not turning on and no sound i don't know about other issue , but how to fix this please ??? should i install mdl firmware and will it fix this as firmware i.e build version is different from baseband and installing mdl stock firmware will fix everything ??
and please when you install firmware through odin , you put the file in PDA right ???

You're on mdl firmware. Flash that in Odin, PDA slot
by flashing mdl firmware everything will match i.e baseband is mdl right now , so just flash mdl stock firmware in odin by selecting in pda right ??

Ok.bud no worries. Having a different baseband than your build isn't an issue. However it looks like. Your on official mf3 which means your bootloader is locked which is why you can't Odin amdl. flash the mf3 baseband through Odin. Bc having a old baseband can stop your Wi-Fi from turning on. Or Odin the whole mf3 stock rom
The locked boot loader stops you from flashing back to previous builds but it won't stop you from odining the mf3 stock Rom. You have options. Don't worry though bc nothing is broke. It's not an emergency bud.
Worked mannnn thank-you !!! i flashed stock baseband of mf3 via odin , and then fixed everything phone is perfect

[Q] Upgrading rooted at&t s4 with Kies?

i have a s4 SGH-I337M and i was wondering if kies is still safe to use when upgrading stock firmware? i have already rooted and installed TWRP and i am currently running stock koodo 4.3. also will kies unroot my phone if i use it to upgrade the traditional way?
Well. I went for a leap of faith. After backing up my phone with TWRP I decided to use Kies to update my phone with no issues. Now I'm at 4.4.2 with out root. Dose anyone know how to root and install TWRP on the baseband I337MVLUEMK6? Or to downgrade to 4.3?

Did you try to root with Kingo root and install TWRP as usual ? I don't know much about Canadian version of S4 but I think you can downgrade using odin.

[q] downgrade to 4.3 possible?

AS EVERYONE KNOWS WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 4.3 WOULD THIS BE POSSIBLE TO TRY EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A SPRINT S4?

IT SHOWS DOWNGRADING WITH VW COULD WE FLASH USING ODIN AND THEN WHEN DOWNGRADE OCCURS TO FLASH A 4.3 ROM?
Anyone?

It seems like it isn't a full 4.3 downgrade. It's a temp downgrade without the bootloader.

[Q] About MF3 and updating

I'm on 4.2.2 mf3 with root and safestrap installed. Just wondering if there was anyway I could update my phone to 4.3+ maybe by flashing a custom ROM? I don't have access to a computer so I can't flash Odin files to update. Am I forever stuck with 4.2 until I can get access to a computer?

You can always go with the stock touch wiz Golden Eye custom Rom to get you to 4.4.x. It works with safe strap.
Since you are rooted, you can probably use Mobile ODIN to flash ODIN files without a PC, if it will work with safestrap, I am not sure or not.
You might want to check the General Forum too, there might be an update .zip file you can use with safe strap to get you to 4.4.x
Wouldn't I have to update my MF3 baseband? And would I have to flash it over my stock ROM slot? AFAIK mobile Odin doesn't work with the att variant of the s4. So I can flash any ROM compatible with safestrap regardless of whether its 4.2 or 4.4?
