Is there a download link for just the radio tar? Or did you have to download the whole stock rom and then extract it manually?

I did that. They said go back to stock rom and then flash again. I'm do nandroid back to stock then see if comes back.
Okay nandroided back to stock and still no network mode option. Honestly i don't remember seeing that before I even rooted. So maybe an Odin flash to stock could help other then that I'm not sure but according to status bar it's says 4g lte good enough for me
I also noticed my phone doesn't say galaxy s 4 when I power it on anymore just says Samsung with the custom lock
That's because your bootloader is unlocked and/or system and firmware status is custom.

I would back up your data to be safe and it's always good to do a clean flash with a new rom. Most roms come with a kernel.... FYI, if your WiFi does not work after flashing a Rom, just flash another kernel. Most times that fixes it.

I think you just have to install the MDC modem not the entire firmware. Go to the all sprint firmware post and install the mdc modem. Follow the unlocking steps and then you can go back to the MK2 modem after unlock.

As of now you can't downgrade the modem on mk2 or mja if you took an OTA update to get there. If you flashed your way there and kept mf9 you can downgrade easily.

I'm on the same situation, just got my phone from AT&T (SGH-i337) with 4.4.2, now on baseband NC1, I would like to root the phone and it seems the only way is downgrading to NB1 and then downgrade again to MK2.
But I'm not so sure if it's safe to flash the roms having a SIM lock on my phone, is it necessary to unlock it before trying to flash?
Another noob question, a locked bootloader means I can't get CWM, but can I still install custom roms installable through Odin?
Sorry, No custom ROM's for locked bootloaders.

Sim Locking only restricts your phone to a particular carrier, it wouldn't interfere with a custom rom, as long as said rom was built for your carrier.

I suggest to read a lot here on XDA forums before you do anything.
I've never heard there was no KitKat update for a certain model. It will most likely get the update in the near future and you don't have to do anything. I'm curious what your carrier is...
And if there really is no update for your carrier's model you can flash an other XT1034 firmware via fastboot, like the ones in my previous post
