I've currently installed a rom on my rooted Sprint GS4 that was originally SPH-L720. After the installation the model number changed to GT-I9505. Now i'm having several problems like no phone signal, LTE 4g no data, and also cant view any type of videos. I made a mistake by not backing up phone before installing the rom. Is there anyway to get my phone back to its original model number SPH-L720? If there's any threads on how to change it back please tell me. I've also tried to install stock rom and that did not work; the installation aborted.
Here's the current phone info:
Model Number: GT-I9505
Android Version: 4.2.2
BaseBand version: L720VPUEMJA
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-Google-Edition

I just replied to you in another thread. If you don't know how to properly flash international roms you should NOT install any of them. Your phone is still a SPH-L720. It says i9505 because of a build prop file in the rom you installed. Flash a TW Sprint GS4 ROM or odin MF9 tar if you don't have the Knox bootloadee yet. Everything you need is in these threads.

You flashed the wrong rom for your device. Odin to stock. There's a thread in development where you can grab the files you need.

Hope your phone isn't borked. Did you see if the zip wasn't corrupted or did you check MD5 sum?

I don't believe that it's broken. I'm able to install I9505 roms but not sprint SPH-L720. But i would like it to have a sprint rom so that i would be able to make calls and go on the web with it.

Wow so much to say, but I'll give this to you.
Grab the MK2 .tar from here (the tar.md5 is in the zip, just extract the .tar.md5 and put that one file in the PDA slot of Odin) and flash it via Odin.
Run Odin 'as administrator. (use Odin 3.07 or 3.09 - seem to work best.)
It'll reset everything (all partitions and modem etc.)
THEN
Spend a couple weeks reading, searching and reading some more before you truly do turn you device into a shinny paperweight.

So, i'm on rogers, running iB4stid latest 4.0 Goldeye rom and i want to flash MG1 modem to get the benefits of better LTE and faster speeds. I've downloaded the MG1 tar, extracted the 2 bin files and i've tried flashing them via odin by checking phone and unchecking auto-reboot but it fails every time. I've also tried using mobile ODIN but it doesnt want to let me use it because i'm probably using a non canadian rom and tell me my device is not supported. I really want to be running on MG1 but i dont know what i can do to flash this, any suggestions? Also, i dont want to give up on Goldeneye because i strongly support ibastids main rom which is by far, the most well maintained rom from a single dev, IMO
Anybody?

I was unable to flash as well for some reason with Odin or Mobile Odin. I ended up doing this:
-Made a Nandroid backup
-Flashed entire MG1 Firmware (from sammobile) via Mobile Odin Pro and used EverRoot to inject Root.
-Flashed TWRP v2.5.0.2 via Mobile Odin Pro
-Restored Nandroid via TWRP
-Now unfortunately no WiFi
-Attemped many kernel fixes with no luck so I Flashed Adam Kernel and everything works perfect and confirmed MG1 Baseband
Alright, thanks for the input, but seems like too much trouble for me.
y not recover to stock, update it to MG1, then use the 1 click root, dl goomanager, get twrp and flash the rom n kernel

He's a Canadian. Rogers not AT&T. What's the deal on the modem that apparently isn't worth the trouble now?
I never understand if all these different names are talking about the same things or different. Will switching to a different modem change your baseband version?
I'm AT&T in Los Angeles using TWRP 2.5.0.2 flashed GoldenEye and I have not flashed any "add ons". The bloatware is gone and my internet is smoking LTE or 4G (same thing) fast and couldn't be happier, baseband still says MDL. The GPS locks faster than any handset I've ever had and Google maps rocks. Everything works, and I'm like a kid with a new toy when I come home from work and mute the Ellen show with the IR blaster. Everything works. Nothing is broken. Best Rom I've ever flashed and the easiest one I've ever flashed.
So what about that there modem deal a bob?

You're currently on mdl firmware. This firmware allows you to put on a custom recovery and flash roms. Are you sure you want to update? You will no longer have the ability to put on a custom recovery.

Yes to all your question.....i337MK2 tar md5 contain 4 seperated files ( first released ) follow the image guide where u have to place into ODIN SLOT ....the one that said combined ALL IN ONE ( newest released ) mean that u just flash into PDA ODIN SLOT ONLY.....just follow that guide on second post it would get u to latest ATT MK2 4.3 firmware. But like @jd1639 said with MDL firmware u can install anything even 4.4.2 rom and also there is alot of custom stock rom without ATT bloatware out there that u can install .....goodluck and PM me if u need more help.

Yes it contains all the bloatware, another reason not to upgrade and flash custom roms.
Edit, it has not been mentioned yet but one you upgrade you can not go back to a previous firmware.
When I upgrade to MK2, does this mean I will need to perform factory reset and all my existing app will be gone or will the app remain on the phone even after the upgrade.
I will do the backup before the upgrade but at the moment when I connect the Phone to the PC, it would mot pick up so maybe I will need the latest software driver, is that correct? I have the same problem with Kies which does not recognise when phone is connected.
Any suggestion would be great.

Not always, most times a factory reset is needed to clear the phone of old apps and data. Root, is lost, but apps that require root can still be present which can become a problem when root is no longer available.

He's on mdl which allows a custom recovery and easy flashing of roms. If he upgrades to mk2, the latest, he'll lose that ability. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47713264
Right, we have a custom recovery and an unlocked boot loader and I flashed an older build of that Google edition ROM, but he just really wants the ability to move his apps2sd. I didn't see a mention of the apps2sd feature in the change logs. Thanks for replying so quickly.

I was hoping to avoid doing the full flash again. I have seen some threads of some Nexus 7 members flashing the required files they were so kindly provided so they can move forward to the 4.4.2 update similar to my situation. If I can't then I guess I will have to suck it up and erase her info and start over.

This forum is for the Sprint Galaxy S4, and it seems you have the T-Mobile device. Here's a link to the tmobile forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
MK2 is the version number that is specific to Sprint. T-Mobile may have the same number or not. But all you need to do is download the .tar file for the latest 4.3 ROM that is available for your phone, put the phone in download mode, and flash via the ODIN utility that you can download as well. This is not a complete guide, so see the relevant threads in the TM forum. Alternatively, there may be a T-Mobile .tar for 4.4.2 that you can ODIN directly. It is up to you to see if it wipes data or not. The one for Sprint does.
Dear friends, I need your help.
I dicide to install custom ROM (Omega 38) to my device. But I made it over stock Android 4.3, I forgot to update to 4.4.2. So now id does not work/ I can only turn on Odin Mode.

Make sure you have kies and the correct odin version. Maybe use another computer or reinstall windows on your computer and start from the clean slate if desperate. I have experienced that. It happens when your computer has some problems.
Omega ROM isn't made for AT&T variant S4.
If you did not flash a kernel compatible for AT&T after you flash the rom then you will not be able to boot up into the system.
Go back to your custom recovery, and install a ROM that's specifically made for AT&T like Golden Eye and so on then it should boot up fine. Also make sure you do a wipe before you install the Rom.
I have a problem....even dought I boot on Partition 1, just created, it says :
E: Unable to mount '/systemorig'
Worst part is...it let me do the installing procces of the Hyperdrive+RLS9.1+S4+Final and then...doesn't boot.

Thanks in advanced!
Try to odin to stock (make sure you get the correct files), root, install SafeStrap following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448942
After that you need to flash the rom, kernel modules (you can get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447764), then after that you flash SuperSU (if you don't have that file then here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 DO THESE STEPS I JUST SAID IN THE SAME ORDER LISTED HERE: Flash ROM, correct kernel modules, and then SuperSu.)
If the same error ocurrs then it's most likely the rom just isn't compatible with you device. Also, make sure it's an S4 Active rom not a normal S4 rom.
NOTE: I do not own an Active, but doing some 5 minute research is what helped me figure this out for your device.
Ok, I´ll try! Sorry, but everything I did before, unsuscefully is the result of many hours of forum research......problem is....I don´t know a lot about this....yes, probably shouldn´t mess with it, but truth is I live in Argentina, and wifi + bluetooth stop working with stock rom....no matter how many times I hard reset it so I figured changing rom might solve it........

after you flash with safetrap, does the kernel have to be flash with safetrap or with Odin? i did root my GS4 using Odin and have the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel. can i use that one or do i need to download any other tipe of kernel??
You need to flash the kernel modules via SafeStrap. The NJ4 modules (and other modules) can be downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 navigate down to the KitKat Install instructions, look for step 4 (Install ATT Kernel Modules), in the first sentence click the hyper link redirecting you to AndroidFileHost, and then download the corresponding Kernel Modules to FLASH DIRECRLY AFTER EVERY ROM YOU FLASH.
THE FILES LINKED ARE FOR NORMAL S4 ONLY.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app
Those two things are different...
You can only flash the nj4 kernel via Odin using the ap slot. I'm not sure if safestrap can flash kernels, because we're not meant to or we would be using twrp.
The nj4 modules should be flashed along with what ROM you're using during use of safestrap.
I was referring to the stock kernel modules (what I linked him/her to) needed to be flashed after the ROM each time. Also in SafeStrap, can't you flash stock kernels? I'm pretty sure you can. If not then I'm just crazy lol.

You need to use the Stock slot. Any other slot causes errors on most roms, and how do you have two bootloader versions? I'm thinking that MF1 is your BL and NE3 is baseband or something.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app
Do not use Safestrap...you have an unlocked bootloader and have no need for it.
It will not work well with an unlocked phone like you have as the recovery is designed for locked US based carriers.
I think he means that he's SIM unlocked. I'm not sure they have an unlocked BL for the Active. If they do, then he should go ahead and use TWRP or CWM.
