Need help regarding correct firmware update. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi There!
Received samsung sprint s4(SPH-L720) as a gift from my brother.I am from INDIA and in INDIA. As i am having frequent signal drop and also disconnects in mobile data , i thought of re installing the software.
Baseband version: L720VPUAMDC
Build version: KOT49H.L720VPUFNAE.
I feel that both the versions should be similar..meaning MDC-MDC or NAE-NAE. Am i correct?
Please go through the screen shot for my phone details and guide me which firmware i need to update.
Other problems i do face are;
1.very low music and video player volume including earphones plugged in.
2.I dont see mobile date in quick panel.
3.youtube closes frequently when used.
Main things i am after are the signal drops and volume problems. Please guide to slove them.
Many thanks in advance.

Just to answer your second question. The Sprint Gs4 doesn't have the mobile data toggle. It used to be there but then it for removed with 4.3 update. You can get it in most TW custom roms.

Your MDC baseband is old, and it's not included in the roms. you need to explicitly flash the MK2 modem package, and then the NAE modem package on top of it to bring the modem fully up to date.

I would imagine the reason no one has answered your question is because it is something that is easily found with about two minutes of searching. As to what is the latest version of Android on Sprint Galaxy S4, http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourSamsungGalaxy.
There are two ROMs in the Android Development Forum that are specifically designed with the current modem but I have run three AOSP roms after updating to the latest version of Android from the Sprint update.

[Q] lollipop official stock problems

Hi im a bit of a noob when it comes too this flashing business but i managed to update my i9505 to lollipop using odin and the official stock rom but the problem i have now is my network signal is now terrible where it was good before is ther anyway that a noob like me can fix this issue? Im in uk on giffgaff (o2)
i have never rooted my s4 before and if some one has a noob guide for rooting from lollipop so i can custom rom it up i might give that a look too, I wouldnt mind a nice slim custom rom with a few extra tweeks and without all the google and samsung rubbish that comes standard..
Thanks
P.s sorry for all the questions and sorry if this is in the wrong section
The signal problem is probably caused by the modem.
You have to flash the latest modem for your phone, country and carrier.
If you already are on the latest modem then a lollipop modem might help.
Here you can find a guide on how to root lollipop.
If you want a slim rom you better try CM12 or GPE. If you like touchwiz then look for a touchwiz based lollipop rom around the forum.

Is your phone branded or unlocked? Coz this is very important. UK(O2) still without lollipop update. This is the possible reason that you are receiving weak network signal.

Problem to configure LTE after flashed new ROM(

Hello ,All
i am new to this experience and need help here.
I have recently flashed S6 PORT by Albe95 over my Galaxy S4 ,baseband V # I337MVLUEMK6 (Fido). Every are allright except could not endable LTE .after input all infos requires it allways got message the current profile is blocked .what should ido?
thx
Have you tried updating the baseband?
No.and how to do it?
The simplest way would be to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com, then install TWRP, then flash the ROM.
Ok thank .will try
I am having a similar problem. Ever since I upgraded to Goldeneye my LTE coverage is not as good as it had been.
Does this sound like a baseband issue? Would appreciate guidance on how to check that?
It could be a baseband issue. How was signal quality on a stock rom? If it was fine, it sounds like it is a rom issue.
You may also want to try upgrading to the newest bootloader and modem too. Update options for the i337 and i337m will vary.

Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Modem Baseband flash with Odin

Hello guys,
I am verry sorry to bother you with this, but I am just to dumb for this part.
I am quite familiar with the whole custom rom business but I try to fix my mothers phone where I installed a Cyanogenmod custom rom (12.1) some time ago.
She experiences some mobile network issues which, I guess, are related to a old baseband / modem version causing troubles.
Can you tell me which version is the right one to flash via Odin or preferably via twrp?
I plan on updating it before installing the lastest 12.1 CM snapshot.
I believe she has the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 International with LTE and Snapdragon processor.
Under baseband version ("About the phone") it says I9505XXUEML6.
(I dont know if this is correct I can remember that I once installed a Google Play Edition Rom to get rid of the bloatware).
The phone was bought in Germany.
I know that you guys are probably busy with more important stuff but I'd really appreciate it if you could quickly help me with that.
Have a great day.
Thank you in advance.
Update: I got the files, changed the cable Odin passed but no version change!
Update 2:
Manually going into fastboot instead of using the reboot menu did it! Thank you so much. (Maybe add that info to the guide to avoid similar problems with othe people)
Thumbs up & good night!

because i have downloaded an official previous lollipop version from this xda site link is SC04EOMUGOI4 Link: https://mega.nz/#!hEZ3kQoT!UDugAgYis...6EQPCf9vjrXeZg
this is an only stock which i successfully installed into my s4 i dun know japanese or vietnamese this mobile is!! but there still a wifi turn on problem.. and now i am going to download new update of lollipop which came after above linked version will that new stock rom fix my wifi problem or if not then what should i do.. i am desperate to get back to daily use of my s4 but could not find a complete rom.. my mobile is rooted will this cause any problem.. if someone has grip on this issue i would rather ask him/her to guide me like a newbie it would highly be appreciated.

How did the wifi problem occur?
Boot into download/Odin mode and confirm the model # before flashing anything else.
