how to unroot MJ7 to take OTA update?

After reading a few threads about the new OTA, ive decided I want to try to get the OTA update. I am already rooted on beanz b4 with mj7
Per my understanding, i need to do the following:
Backup my current beanz rom
Download MJ7 stock .tar file
Go into odin/download mode and push the file through
Reboot
At this point i should be stock?
Take the OTA
reboot
re-root using kingo
install safestrap 3.65
Restore my beanz rom after kingo root.
Are these steps correct? Just want to make sure so that I dont brick anything.
As far as Odin / download mode, I have never used it apart from checking my knox counter.
How do i push the mj7 stock .tar file in? Is there a special windows application i need to do this?

if you have a microSD, you can back up everything to it, then take it out, flash MJE from ODIN, now re-root, flash SS, then flash beans 4. it's easier and perhaps potentially safer to just ODIN flash the MJE tar instead of flashing back to MI7, waiting for the OTA, taking it and continuing. Id link these but im new. If you go to original android dev for this phone, youll find a thread beans has made with the latest ODIN, and all the TAR files.

MJ7 to MJE help

I am currently rooted, safestrap, and running Hyperdrive 3. To get to an MJE based rom can I just flash the MJE Tar in odin or do I need to remove safestrap, flash stock MJ7, then flash MJE?

The full MJE tar will be fine. It'll flash the newest radios, upgrade the kernel and newest firmware. You can then simply re-root and ROM away. You don't NEED to be on MJ7. It'll probably be best to do a factory reset after flashing MJE in ODIN after the phone boots up the first time. I've noticed ODIN doesn't always remove data or added system files previously in the folder. Not sure if ODIN flashes /userdata.img

Yeah I almost always clean flash so in this case it is a no brainer. Thanks for the info

[Q] How to go from Baseband MDJ to MK6?

I'm running Goldeneye 8.0, 4.2.2. I'm looking to update to new MK6 baseband so I can flash goldeneye with kitkat but when I flash MK6 through mobile Odin, I get an error saying that memory is protected or something like that. Can anyone help with this?

I had the same issue when flashing with mobile odin. I ended up using Odin to flash the modem. Only difference is that I was on stock 4.2.2 with MG1 baseband.

Place modem .bin file in PHONE section
make sure to untick autoreboot
flash
Reboot
I'd recommend checking if you have the latest drivers as well. Also check the 'Modem files' thread I linked above - seems like some people are having the same issue with i337m

Thanks for the reply, I've come to find out that you have to be on a stock rom to flash baseband, that's why it wasn't working for me before.

Perfect that's good to know if a new baseband gets released.

[ODIN) [All-in-One] [OB7-Stock-Firmware] [Kernel,Boot,Recovery,Modem,Carrier]

I made these odin flashable firmwares for those who need them. This is only the stock firmware for Lollipop 5.01 build OB7. (NO system or data partitions) If you need to flash the stock OB7 firmwares then this will do that for you. This will not wipe your system or data.
Once you flash the "OB7-FW.tar.md5" you must reroot and flash a custom recovery if you want to flash custom roms etc. Simply odin flash cf-auto-root and the latest recovery by TWRP and you'll be back in business.
The OB7-modem.tar.md5 requires no extra steps... it's just the modem.
I have tested these packages on my Note 4 running OB7 firmware. Note: If you are on OE1 firmware, you will NOT be able to flash this OB7 firmware successfully due to new security measures in the OE1 bootloader.
OB7-FW.tar.md5 This tar package includes all of the stock OB7 firmware including kernel,modem, recovery, bootloader, etc. Please flash this in odin on your PC ONLY!
OB7-modem.tar.md5 This tar package includes only the modem and HLOS patch. Can be flashed with odin on your pc and also mobile odin.

Gonna try

ive been searching but can you help me put stock 0e1 recovery back on my phone i forgot to factory data reset after i updated to 0e1 and rerooted and now my phone is super buggy and i think its because i didnt wipe on stock recovery which usually fixes my problems. thanks if you can help or not. ive wiped on twrp of course but my stock rooted 0e1 rom just isnt right idk but like i said the stock recovery to me really wipes evrything. ive tried aosp roms but there even more buggy can you please help thanks

No one has it yet

Right. There is no official tar ball available for OE1 firmware. OTA is the only way right now and nobody has pulled and uploaded the update zip for OE1. Im afraid you're gonna have to try the OB7 official rom tar or else you're stuck until a tar pops up somewhere. And that may not happen for OE1.

Thanks for the report. Which software version are you currently on? Extension OB7 or OE1 ??? You must be on OE1 because it flashed successfully on my OB7 software. I will upload another version for you to test.

Yes, I am on OE1, I will gladly test for you. Just keep me posted.

So just to clarify, if I am on KK, I can ODIN this then cf auto root then TWRP? And don't take the update to OE1 because it's not worth it?

Ok, don't mess with this, it's for a different purpose. Read the OP in @tx_dbs_tx 's hybrid X 2.2 rom thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956667
Read the OP carefully as there is a VERY specific procedure (it's easy) you MUST follow to move up to lollipop.
Stock tar in the OP here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3056478
If you'd rather have a stock rom instead of hybrid x download the stock tar and follow tx's instructions to the T in his Hybrid-X OP before flashing it or any lollipop based rom.
Remember, you MUST flash the stock OB7 tar BEFORE flashing any lollipop rom.
EDIT: If you decide to go stock, do not take the ota. Once you cf-auto-root & odin twrp you won't have to worry about it anymore. The same with Hybrid-X. Once you flash that no more OTA worries.

Did u find the hidden image ??

I'm not going to pursue the OE1 secured bootloader thing. We will have to wait for an official tar ball and rebuild roms from it. Until then I'm staying on my OB7 rom.

I dont quit but thanks for your efforts

Meh sourcecode is out

Galaxy S4 i337M Basedband

Can somebody tell me what's the latest baseband and how to flash it pls?
I flash roms all the time but some of the TW based roms don't give me any mobile network and they usual require a certain baseband. My current one is

I337MVLSGQB1
If the baseband isn't in the https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att section as a flashable zip using TWRP, you'll have to download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash the baseband extracted from the ROM zip using Odin. That will guarantee the latest baseband gets put on your device.

Thanks for your reply

But won't that just flash the entire firmware causing me to have to unlock and flash recovery and root all over again?

If your phone is unlocked from its carrier, it stays unlocked even if you change ROMs. Also, I misstated what you had to do to get to the appropriate files. After downloading the large file from sammobile, extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. You should end up with a .tar.md5 file. Rename that file to .tar, and extract the files within. The two you want are modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin. Those two are then flashed using Odin.
Of course, you could do the adventurous thing and download one of the existing flashable modem zips, then replace the existing modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin in the flashable zip with the versions from the stock ROM package.

Forum for the sgh-i337m is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att

Oh I downloaded the Bell one and saw the modem.bin but didn't know which other one was needed so thanks

Rogers, Telus, and Bell use the same stock ROM with a bit of customization on the sgh-i337m; therefore, you can cross-flash the modem, bootloader, and system as they are the same.

Oh cool. You've been a great help, thanks for the info

So i updated to QB1 but not getting any cell service when i flash certain i9505 roms like Super Touchwiz v6, Machinex or something like that, Imperium v18.1. Some require QG1.
Would QG1 or any other baseband/bootloader/modem be able to work on my Rogers i337M?

I know this phone usually can flash any rom that is for the i9505 so just wondering if it's able to go that far as to use those as well

I would not cross-flash bootloaders or modems as invalid modem/bootloader combinations may hard brick the phone.
You may need to flash a different kernel when using custom ROMs desgined for the i9505.

Okay
