I tried the unknown force mk2 modem only and didnt work, it says fail after flashing via odin. As result of the fail, it removed my recovery and when I reboot the phone it has no sound

You should have done some more research. MK2 modem on some MF9 ROMs causes sound loss. Upgrade to the latest Triforce and Odin the modem again. You might have to try several times to get it to stick.

I flashed the latest TriForce 5.2 which its based of the MK2 released. I'm going to keep trying flashing the modem.
Maybe my bootloader its locked ?
P.S: Thanks

You are on mf9 the boot loader is not locked. And I meant the mk2 modem zip not Odin file.

on top of stock rom, my stock rom was JeallyBean 4.2.2 i337 mf3 not mdl and i read there are no mf3 files for odin
So i managed to fix this problem just by downloading stock rom for my phone and flashing with safestrap: Galaxy S4 rooted Stock ROM AT&T SGH-i337 MF3 (i found that on google)
The rom i downloader is rooted. and it said to install Loki after finishing flashing rom but i managed not to.
after you finished flashing you need to install also: jflteatt-MF3-modules(attachment) : this will make your wifi to work.
Every thing i just said, worked for me! do this at your own risk! im not responsible for any damages!!!
Wait what if you flash MDL with safestrap, and use goo.im for TWRP? It could possibly brick but just an idea.

It wouldn't. The bootloader is still MF3 no matter what you do to the system, and so it will still be locked with no way to bypass it.

can i go back to 4.2.2 from 4.3?

hey guys... im on 4.3 MK2 rooted, can i install a 4.2.2 rom stock or custom ?? with 4.2.2 modem and bootloader.
thanks.
If you updated by keeping the MF9 bootloader you can go back to stock. If you took the OTA however, you can only downgrade to 4.2 with a custom ROM.

i tried eveything so i can downgrade and how he said is the only way. i been trying everything but no luck. i hope your not trying to return your phone because if u have it rooted and have "kernel not seandroid enforcing " then wait until some dev can fix that

but i can downgrade to 4.2 (100% 4.2) using a custom rom?? or i will be on 4.2 but with the same new bootloader?
what custom rom would work in my case? if you can give me a link to one.. there are so many here.
If you're on the MJA or MK2 bootloader, you're stuck with it.
And why would you want to go back to 4.2? Any ROM would work, but seems kind of pointless.

i downgraded the modem to mdc and did the unlock process. it worked, i can make and receive calls but when the phone is going to 3g i get a error message "LTE esm 29 emm-x cannot establish wireless data connection" nobody else had that issue.. i dont know if hte fact that my phone is not activated on spring is relevant.. it shouldn't be, because im using the phone outside the US.
i dont know what to do to make this thing work.. i have flashed from mdc to mk2 or mja like 5 times and i always get the same message.

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 ???
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
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 ??

i tried flashing mdl stock by odin in pda and it failed , this is the message displaying please help

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

No. It shouldn't fail. You're probably trying to flash the entire firmware package. THAT won't work. You need to flash the modem related files ONLY

There is no locked bootloader...only a secured one. Every L720 I've had to unlock never failed the MDC flash in Odin. Are you SURE you have the MDC modem and are you SURE you have an L720? Check the sticker in the back and in download mode it tells you the model.

Yes i look at about device is L720 with MF9 firmware..
Its correct.. Its no problems using odin 1.85 right? Or must specific version?
THAT might be why! Let's move into the present and try it on Odin 3.07 or 3.09 (I personally use 3.09 all the time because...well its the most recent one).

Frequent signal drops on NAE

I am running Negalite ROM and just recently updated my firmware to NAE using Odin, and now my signal is terrible, the data keeps cutting out. Is it possible to flash back to MJA using Odin, or can you not rollback? Or is there some update or change I can make to the APN or something to fix it? Thank you for any help you can provide.
Only modem is reversible via Odin. Anything else is NOT possible.

Thanks, does that mean I can flash the MJA or MK2 modem from post 2 in this thread and it should rollback fine? Thanks again.

The NAE modem package is not complete. If you skipped over MK2, you need to go back and flash it, then flash NAE on top of it. Otherwise, your reception will misbehave.
