Frequent signal drops on NAE - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

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.

Terrible after flashing Tar

Hello ever since i flashed the crawjs MF9 tar my lte speed is terrible and my friend same phone stock gets 20mbps where i get 1mbps if that ive flashed different roms hoping to fix it i updated profile and prl still no luck someone help me thanks in advance
Go back to stock unrooted and perform a factory wipe.
Or also on a touchwiz ROM do a ##72786# in the dialer. It reactivates your phone.

First confirm that your baseband and software version say mf9 in about device. If not you need to install the modem again. I have experienced, on occasion, where installing the stock tar from Odin doesn't always update everything on the first or sometimes even the second try. Also what Rom version is your friend using? If your modem is mf9 and his is something else maybe the modem is a problem in your area. I am using it with no speed issues.

If you are still having radio issues you could always just Odin the mf9 modem or if you are wanting to come to MJA Unknownforce has the modem tar
One more thing when you had no radio did you happen to look at about device and see what you had under software and baseband?

Well that's most likely your problem, if you want sacs rom and you are going to stay on 4.2 then flash V8, it is an awesome rom with everything working, very much a DD, HERE IS THE LINK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359590
The rom you flashed is with MJA not mf9, even though it might be possible to upgrade modem through sacs rom it's more than likely to leave you with some bugs, if you decide to try V8 (I highly recommend) let me know how it goes :sly::sly::thumbup:

Just flashing to MJA might not work, you will most likely have to use Odin, flash the MJA tar, only if you are wanting to upgrade (^_-)

[Q] How to go back to stock Rom

I wanted to know how do i go back to the sprint stock rom after i flashed a 4.4.2 Rom?
Are you saying that you updated to NAE, rooted, and now trying to unroot? If so I don't know of any way to do it since there is no tar for NAE yet.

Im not sure what NAE is but the rom I have is Octo-Kat from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493128 any info is greatly appreicated.
NAE is the new 4.4.2 TOUCHWIZ update that just came out for the phone. That's what I thought you meant. To go back to stock, if you mean stock unroofed. It would depend on what version of touchwiz you were on before. If you were on 4.2 then Odin a 4.2 tar. If you were on 4.3 with Knox then Odin MK2 kernel.

Is it safe to upgrade S4 to latest and greatest?

As the title suggests, is it safe to upgrade my rooted S4 from CM10, to say CM11 AND upgrade the baseband and bootloader and all other firmware to NAE (or whatever the latest is)?
Edit: In short I am trying to get off of MJA because of the deep sleep issue that drains my battery.
If you want TW interface upgrade to the mk2 4.3 jelly bean or to nae 4.4 kitkat.

Excuse the noob question, but will i Need to install a TW ROM that has that baked in? Or is there a place to get the bootloader? I see a Spring S4 firmware thread, but no bootloader for MK2 or NAE.
Thanks in advance.
You will have to odin the NAE tar file, then reroot your phone, install custom recovery, and then install cm11 or whatever rom you want. This will bring your phone up to the latest firmware and will hopefully solve your deep sleep issue.
Contact this guy and just flash the modem and bootloader via Odin. The download links containing the bootloader too are not on the page but it mentions that he will provide you with them if requested.

And yes, then you can just go ahead and flash CM11. It's what I'm running on mine. Works very well, no complaints.

[Q] Unroot from 4.3

Can I use 4.2.2 stock rom (From qbkings walk through) if the phone has 4.3 rom on it?
No you cannot because you cannot downgrade via Odin. Use MK2 tar to unroot.
