Seems like you are not from the USA. And are trying to unlock the Sprint GS4 since you want to downgrade your modem. Its possible to do it. I'll leave that task up to you.

The first letter is the year - 2013 for "M", "N" is 2014. So NAE is newer than MDC. 2nd & 3rd is month and week of release or something like that. If you have NAE modem, that's pretty recent, so I wouldn't see any reason to change it unless you're having problems with it.

Yes the only reason for a modem downgrade is to unlock your phone.

Hi, I installed the kt kernell. the only reason why I installed it was so i culd get fas charging support, so I could charge my phone while using it with my appradio. I never used the overclocking part, or any other feature in that kernell. After a while I tried to update to MF9, follow the official mf9 thread, (flash noobl zip, flash kernel file and then flash rom file.) It all seemed to work, but in the phone info screen everything shows the right version exceot the kernell part. i have attached a screenshot. After that i tried downgrading to mdkl, and same thing. kernell version still shows the same thing. any help will appreciated. thanks
That kernel you are on is stock

Is that what the kernel info is supposed to say? I ask because while i Had the MF9 stock Rom it said the exact same thing., and I figured It should said MDL or MF9 somewhere in it.
yep its what it is supposed to say, doesn't specifically say MDL or MF9 in it.
thanks, i thought I did something wrong and screwed my phone up. I appreciate your time.

Baseband has to do with MDL and MF9. Kernel is different. While you still need to know if your baseband is MDL or MF9 for choosing a kernel, the kernel itself isn't really dependant on the baseband.

so only software, baseband, and build should match, am I correct?

The baseband and build should (if you're on stock, at least)
I don't see the software anywhere (sorry, I'm on CM, not stock)

Hello,
after a few days researching and trying to root/flash my samsung sph l720 i didnt found anything but first:
a cousin brought me his gs4 l720 from us, it was unlocked and i can "use" it but i cant enable the hotspot etc...
i was almost going to root it but i started reading about knox, bootloaders etc thats why i wanna ask if its possible to update it from 4.3 to 4.4 and enable the hotspot etc.
software version:
L720VPUAMDC
Hardware version
L720.08
Android Version:
4.3
baseband version:
L720VPUAMDC
kernel version:
3.4.0-1927016
[email protected] #1
Sat Nov 16 11:05:09 KST 2013
Compilation number:
JSS15J.L720VPUEMK2
thats all the info in about device... i wanna know if its possible to root it and install a custom recovery like CWM
also if its possible to update it to KitKat
what happend if the Knox flag triggers ? do my s4 bricks or something ? or it just voids the warranty, because i dont care about the warranty as im in another country.
Just to answer your knox question. All it does is void warranty. You can still unlock root and flash Roms with Knox tripped.

Thanks, now the only thing i wanna know before i root it is how do i check if the bootloader is locked ?
i read in the cf auto root web that if the phone has a locked bootloader it can brick the phone.

Do some more reading ALL over the forums here. So far our device doesn't have completely locked bootloader. just the knox flag.
It's actually very hard to truly brick this device. You may softbrick but that's easily recoverable.
There are posts on how to update to MF9, MK2 or NAE.
You can root any of those with the latest CF-Autoroot and add a custom recovery and flash a way compatible ROMs as per the OPs directions.
BUT PLEASE take some time to read, search and read some more. If you do you will surely get the most of your time and more importantly your device.
Good luck.
Looks to me like your phone is already rooted. Or at the least has been seriously messed with. You have 3 mismatches in the info you posted. MDC baseband with 4.3, then complilation of MK2. These are all different versions. You need to figure out the exact configuration of your phone before we can proceed with helping you.

i copy it exactly from the cellphone, its there any way that info could be wrong ?
Since it appears your phone may have been upgraded to MK2 at one point, you could try just downloading the full NAE (KIT KAT) tar file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619 and upgrading to NAE in one quick swoop. Then if you want to root it, you can use cf autoroot and go from there. If your phone has already been unlocked it should maintain the unlock even with the flashing of the stock tar.

Thank you very much for your response. Well, I'll tell you what happened: To sim-unlock that phone it was downgraded to MDC while using MK2 stock rom. My wife's L720 is in the same case and also a co-worker is in the same situation. So now my question is, is there any problem upgrading it to kitkat (NAE) knowing that my wife doesn't uses the rooted rom?

No problem at all, just use the link I referenced earlier and flash using Odin. This will upgrade your phone to kit kat and you won't loose and data.

Confirmed, flashed my co-worker's phone and everything is working fine (I was unlocked using that downgrade) and remain unlocked.
Thank you very much, the next step is flash my wife's one.

Right now I am running a AT&T Galaxy S4 rooted with towel root 4.4.2, and I have to send in my phone for repair because the screen is messed up. I think it is running the NC1 bootloader, as under Setting->About Device-> Baseband version and it is i337UCUFNC1. I have looked over the ODIN back to stock guides and do not see a stock rom for the NC1. Was wondering if its alright to use the NB1 update or should I be looking for something else. The build number is KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1. Thank you for any help.

There is no full firmware for NC1. We only have an update over NB1.
You can safely flash NB1 using Odin.
Gotcha, thank you for the clarification .
So I can grab any NB1 stock file? Also is there any reason why not to grab the file from Sam Mobile?

Sammobile for some reason doesnt have the newer firmwares, has only MDB and MDL.

I just switched back to my GS5 because I broke my iPhone 6. I am currently running 5.0 Baseband G900VVRU2BOE1. I've been trying to Odin back to KItKat. I get a fail in Odin every time. Is there something going on with the bootloader that prevents downgrading?

I am unfamiliar with that build. How about giving us a screens hot of about phone?
This is the screenshot you requested. I have not heard anything about this build, either. Any help is appreciated

It sounds to me like the aboot qfuse counter changed which would mean that there's no going back to any previous FW. It was only a matter of time before they did it since the VZW S4 lollipop update did that.
We won't know until we get ahold of either the update.zip or the odin tar. I have 2 VZW S5's and both refuse to tell me there's an update available even when I Odin back to a stock FW.
Nice. That's what I hated about Apple. You own the phone, yet, still can't do what you want with it. Well, thanks for checking it out.

It's most likely more of a Verizon thing than a Samsung thing. Although with the 5.1.1 S5 update on T-Mobile, the kernel prevents rooting and T-Mobile phones are on unlocked bootloaders which means they don't care if you root or install a custom rom so maybe it is becoming more of a Samsung thing now.

Want free advice, next time you see an update dont install it it will better if went to the xda forums for more info
As of now there is no way to downgrade. Someone already looked at the update zip. I guess it night be possible once the full OE1 tar is out..something about downgrading everything except the bootloader

the thing is, with Verizon, you can choose to not accept the upgrade a few times, but ultimately, it is forced on you...which is why I rooted my S5 the same week I bought it (to avoid unwanted 'upgrades')

The OE1 update prevents downgrading even if you have never flashed anything, correct?
