Does that mean that I will still have to root my phone to enable the unlock ?

[Q] unlock sprint gs4 l720 baseband mk2

I just rooted my gs4 and now im trying to unlock it ive been looking around and cant find a solution to my problem. If anyone knows a way to unlock my gs4 which is using baseband mk2 your help would be greatly appreciated.
Unlock it for what? Need more info. International unlock? Domestic unlock? You should be able to Odin just the MDC modem to accomplish the international unlock in autoprime's thread on unlocking. Then complete the domestic unlock with the other 3or4 threads for that. After you are unlocked you can reinstall the mk2 modem.

Don't we have to be rooted to get edit the build.prop because I'm currently not rooted and I'm so close to finishing it. However I cannot edit the build.prop and I cannot add the apn on the domestic unlock.

No its not working on MF3 .. the phone reboot itself on step 2
Use method 2 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595457
Use Safestrap and flash the MDL modem. Use the procedure in post 2. Then afterwards, flash MF3.

Downgrade to 4.2.2

I'm in 4.4.2. Is it possible downgrade to 4.2.2 without box?

Hi,
It depends in what bootloader you have , Odin will not allow you to downgrade to a lower bootloader that the one you have ( stock rom)

You can't downgrade sorry

That is because you have a newer bootloader......nothing you can do about it , sorry mate
just curious, when it's said that you can't downgrade the bootloader...presumably it means when downgrading to a lower version of android? because i tested the latest ngf1 firmware and updated bootloader and have since returned to fnb8 and phone info is now showing fnb8 bootloader again.
I wonder how each day has someone to open a new thread and ask this question
Discussed a thousand times, and most illiterate person knows that this is impossible, but there are still people who have not understood
xda has its own search

For : GT-I9500
Yes it is possible/
Just Download this firmware and flash it via odin: I9500XXUBMH1_I9500OJVBMH2_I9500XXUBMG9_HOME.tar.md5
http://d-h.st/4bG
I tested it myself and worked fine.
judging by http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/imei-null-t2806504
he has i9505
and so I wrote the previous post

to be fair, the search feature is pretty lousy :\
number of times i've wanted to find something on xda, use the forums' search function and it basically displays EVERY thread in the forum. It doesn't do a great job of actually narrowing down what you're looking for. But what I tend to do now is just use google and type XDA at the beginning of my search. e.g. these are the result for "philz recovery" in the search feature http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=288653448
now do the same in google https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BsS6U8CcJ67Y8gfQjYDoBQ&gws_rd=ssl#q=xda+philz+recovery+9505
it's the first result and takes you right to the thread.
the forum search leaves a lot to be desired, so I kinda get why people struggle finding thing on here :s

Hi ,
Knox is trip so i guess you do not flash the "knox free bootloader" from 4.2.2 so in practice you only flash a modify stock rom......
You can remove KNOX with the removal script.

There's a downgrade bootloader available in the Note 3 Developer Discussion's KNOX thread. Go check that out. Look for the guy called RuchRa or something.

Just use the pit and then use any 4.3 firmware and it will downgrade greatly.
