[TRICK]Changing baseband version without losing your data.

I used to dual boot my phone and play with some of the custom samsung based rom and i was on lph baseband version on my primary rom and i installed samsung based custom rom which is based on LQ6 baseband version then after playing with secondary rom i removed it and came back to stock 4.0.4 and i realized my rom baseband version is changed same as secondary...
so if anyone wants to change their baseband version without affecting their data can boot secondary rom with requried baseband version.
Thanks for your time.

There's no trick. Baseband (modem) has absolutely nothing to do with your data. How you managed to get a dual boot working, and yet not know this basic fact is beyond me

Here you go. Flash it from CWM. Baseband is independent of ROM. You can flash any baseband on any ROM. Even GB ones on ICS or JB

Can I install CM on non-KNOX bootloader?

Currently I'm on a Pre-rooted stock ROM and would really like to update as stock OTA is not working.
Info:
Model : GT-I9505
Android : 4.2.2
Baseband : I9505XXUBMGA
Kernel : 3.4.0-1081224
Build number : JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA
So, I don't have the newer bootloader with KNOX yet.
Further, I already installed CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery
My questions:
Can I simply install CM10.2.1 or CM 11.2 through CWM?
Or do I have to update the bootloader first or does it include in CM?
Is there a catch in updating my phone concerning KNOX and chance of bricking?
I'm I stuck on CM or can I always revert to my backup of rooted stock 4.2.2?
Thanx in advance for any help.
I searched, but couldn't find correct answers...

Yes you can just install cm but if you try to install newer touchwiz roms then you need to change your modem. And wrong section....

So KNOX is all about stock Samsung ROMs?
And I don't need an updated bootloader for all other ROMs like CM and OMEGA and can switch between them without issues?

yes.

Knox is basically a counter to counter rooters. You should be able to flash any ROM like normal but there may be some changed needed to be done for the modem. I'm sure there are multiple threads about the i9505 modems...

Install a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) then find a ROM compatible with your phone.

They're on i337, TWRP or CWM won't work on 4.3. They'll either need to root and use Safestrap and the ROMs from the index in the general section, or use ODIN to go to stock 4.4.

Find any 4.4.4 ROM and flash it. You will need a 4.4 modem also I believe, so find a recovery flashable one. Don't use Odin for it, just to be safe and not upgrade your bootloader.

What software version are you running? What's the last 3 characters of the baseband or your bootloader version if you already know? Or, are you already rooted with a recovery?

I'm running android 4.4.2. I rooted this phone using towelroot and I think I have a stock recovery.

On NB1 you can't get to Lollipop yet due to the locked bootloader. Hopefully the GPE ROMs will be updated to it, but it's not guaranteed they will be able to function at all since we can't flash kernels.
