I am currently running the SACS CUSTOM ROM 4.4.2 KIT KAT V.3 on my GS4 SPH-L720, and I am extremely satisfied with everything, besides one little thing. I tried installing the Sprint hotspot mod on it and it didn't do anything besides erase my status bar and a mass amount of other glitches. I assumed that when I ran the mod install, the SERVICES.jar that was overwritten contained all that information and that's why all the status bar disappeared and all those glitches occurred, however, I do not know how to combine (if you will [i'm a noob when it comes to android programming] ) the two services.jar files to maintain all the ROM's important info and still install the hotspot mod.
I am running on an NAE baseband.

I had some problems with wifi and found I was doing a few things wrong. Did you go from MF9 to MK2 and flash the modem then install the MK2 rom? Then do the same and flash NAE modem then install the stock rom. If your doing Sac's then just install the Sac's rom instead of the NAE. For the wifi I use this method still just because. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYTis-i7HA4 and it will show you how to do the .jar file by hand then you will know nothing else has been changed. From what happened to me and what people are asking I have found people are skipping steps or doing them wrong. Hope this Helps...
This is the only Hot Spot mod that works with the Sacs 3.0 rom.
You have to dig for it in the OP under older versions

I tried the mod posted above, but I had no luck. I dont even have the option for hotspot under settings. Is it because I have the 720T version? Or do I have to download some other app to make it work?

Need Stock NAE Services.jar and services.odex files
So I have been running this rom for a while and I did have some issues like screen locking up etc… but I re-installed and everything is working fine. Here is my problem… I can’t go back to stock. I get an Odin failure every time and the failure depends on which stock file I am trying to Odin either its a write error or its an Auth. failure. I had this issue once before and it had to do with services.odex and services.jar files. Only I can’t find either of those files that come from the stock build and I am not really sure they will fix my problem of returning to stock but I am so hoping it does. I know I was the idiot that didn’t do the nand back up I just forgot. Any ideas on obtaining the files above or another fix. I need to take the phone back and I am unable too.

Question is HOW did you 'get it'?
What is your current ROM and how did you get/install that?
I got the modem from the tri force rom, i was on a mf9 stock rom, it got changed to mk2. My current rom is slim bean 4.3 2.2 final, and i got it from the official site
Try going to a stock MK2 ROM to see if that fixes your issue.

You could not have gotten the modem from a ROM. It is not included in any of them. If you are flashing some 4.3 ROMs without using Odin to update the modem, you could run into issues.

Honestly, i tried using odin to update my modem but everytime it'd fail when i tried, so i gave up, but when i downloaded the tri force rom that's based on mk2 for some odd reason it said my baseband was now mk2, so i thought it did it automatically, but now no matter what rom i go to, whether it be jelly bean or kitkat based ones the phone apk lags, freezes up, and messes up everytime

And what frostedunit said is true also. Modems must be flashed via Odin in download mode.

You must be on the MK2 modem for Wifi to work on that ROM. Redownload the modem .tar from Unknownforce's thread in development and Odin it in. Sometimes it takes a few tries for it to stick. Just make sure to run Odin as administrator and put the modem .tar in the phone slot.

Hey I just have a quick question here. Is there a way to get wifi to work on a custom rom on the ATT GS4 (MK2) because not matter what rom I flash on it the wifi always breaks but when I go back to stock it works just fine. I even tried flashing the modem file but to no avail. If I can't I can understand I was just wanting to know if there's a workaround to this. Thanks to anyone who helps .
You need to flash the MK2 modules. Do some more reading. The modules are in the Safestrap thread.

Well when I first tried to install a custom rom I used this website to flash the modules and that was when I realized my wifi wasn't working on it. I'll just read up some more I suppose. Thanks for the response .

I was able to root my phone properly. The key reason to root the phone was no access to tethering. Details for my situation:
Samsung S4, i337, MK2, andriod 4.3 from AT&T. I unlocked it and have been using with Rogers here in Canada but the tethering gives the Mobile data not available/invalid sim error.
I researched for solutions here and on google and all solutions required root, so I rooted the phone using the guide mentioned above. After that I used the method in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535141
However, since I am using non-AT&T sim, this does not work any more. Further I uninstalled all AT&T apps using ES file explorer but still no luck.
Then I figured out and tried other solutions like FoxFi, etc etc.
Then I used the framework file from the thread below which was able to turn the toggle on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512981&highlight=at&t
Now I can see the the tethering tuned on. I can also connect to the wifi. however, it does not connect to internet. I think I am still missing some piece. I cannot post in the thread above as it is developers section. But I am lost, there is no further solution that I could find on forum or google. My mobile data works fine, I can turn on the tehter, I can connect to the hotspot, but I cannot connect to internet. It is a phone issue for sure.
I am not sure what to do in this case. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have tried this as well, but it did not work.

Does anyone think flashing with stock ROM will help? does it delete all system files altogether? But the only stock ROMs available are AT&T, so I do not see it helping much. Any ideas?

If there's a tethering mod for the i337m on 4.3, try using that tethering provision instead. Otherwise, you could try flashing a ROM that uses an i337m base, but you can't flash their stock firmware directly.

I have tried that tethering mod (if that means replacing the tethering.odex file in the system)
I don't know what i337m base ROM is, but if it is installing AT&T stock ROM, then won't I be in same situation again?

I337m is the Canadian S4 model, I'm saying to use a tethering method designed for that (the two you posted were for the Verizion and AT&T but not Canadian) or try a TOM based off the Canadian firmware. That way it'll have the file for your specific carrier tethering already in it.

First of all I appreciate your patience in these replies and helping me out.
Here is my next query.

but they also said I need to make sure that the baseband matches. I have MK2. Should I flash that or should I just go ahead and install the ROM as no such info is mentioned in the XDA thread. Also, are there any other changes I should make before installing this new ROM using safestrap?
please let me know

You'll have to look in the All Things MK2 and NB1 thread for install instructions and if it needs a modified updater-script for Safestrap. Also, the latest version is a 4.4.2 ROM so you'll either need to update to KitKat, use the KitKat Magic Toolkit, or use an older version of Goldeneye.
Hi All,
Appreciate the guides and community here. Looking for a little help on my ATT S4 KitKat 4.4.2. It's rooted via Towelroot.
I want to run a custom rom that isn't slow. I have Odin, proper Samsung USB drivers.
1) Can CNW be used on my phone to boot to recovery? If not, what are the alternatives and how do I use them (is there a guide you can share)?
2) Do I have NC1 on my phone, what the heck is NC2, NC1-what does this mean, is it relevant?
Thanks all
-Christian
If you have updated your phone to the att 4.4.2 firmware then you should be on NC1 which means you cannot put cwm or any CM rom. The only recovery you can use is safestrap. After that you can only flash rooms the specifically say safestrap compatible and you must flash the att_nc1 module after flashing rom for WiFi to work. Read the safestrap thread under the development section before doing anything.

Those numbers NC1 etc are your build version. Can be found under Settings/About Phone. It will dictate what you can and can't do on your phone--We have no NC2 yet. :good:

I don't use safestrap. So not sure. Did you wipe all including system. And flash to correct slot. Stock slot I believe. Use correct safestrap. Also need sellinux, spelling? The lock is suppose to be there if rooted. Read the last 20 pages of the hash code safestrap thread plus the op. And same on All Things ATT/MK2 in General. May give some ideas. ☺

Iam all for custom ROMS. I made one for the Tab3. If all you want is the stock Nexus experience, you could just download the Google Now Launcher which is Google release the AOSP launcher. Then if you want the individual AOSP apps, you can do a search here or a google search, and you will find XDA threads that provide the apps with installation instructions.

That was useless, there is no hotspot mod currently available for the NG2 update. All the people that made this mod before have moved on to new phones. Your options are to download Xposed framework and use wanum to open the hotspot, or install a wifi tether app from the play store. If someone knows "fgr", maybe they can convince him to make a mod for NG2 since he was the one that made the MK2 and NAE mod.
