I am running 4.4.2 on SPHL-720 (Samsung galaxy S4 (sprint) and just received a notice that a system update has been downloaded. I have not installed it yet. Could this be the 4.4.3 update?
I think it's NG2 modem update
I'm running sacs older version 4.4.2 version 2 I think with the nae modem. Has anyone tried the update? Will this break root? What's the benefits? I've searched and found nothing.

Look like I lost root. I need to re root my phone. If anyone has idea let me know
I found the downloaded zip on my phone and it is the NGA update. However it will not install on my rooted NAE phone. The recovery mode install fails.
A) You cannot accept an OTA while rooted. It will not install unless your device is bone stock.
B) Please learn to use the search function. This update has been out for over 2 weeks and there are 4 threads on it that will answer any questions you may have about it.

I live in Pakistan and no official firmware is present for this country. And also I don't know which region firmware was installed on it because I did buy GT-i9505 used from a shop.
I wanted to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4.2 hoping that it will fix the WI-Fi issue present in Galaxy S4 I9505, so I flash 4.4.2 stock rom (Newzeland NZC) with ODIN.
This is the file I Flashed :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...CGNH2_NZC.zip/
The issue of Wi-Fi that was in 4.3 was it Wi-Fi Button was not enabling and was grey out(light green color) when I enable it.
So for fixing that, I flash stock 4.4.2 rom.
I read this thread present here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2192025
But I couldn't decide which file(modem) to download and flash via odin in (Phone) Tab.
P.S: Is there any other way to fix the wi-fi or the only way is to flash any of those modem? Please help !
I have a doubt that when I synced Gmail and samsung account caused the wifi to not work i.e turn the toogle grey/light green.
Here are my current screen shots of totaly stock rom which I'm using. I have not even applied root.

Can anyone suggest me something to fix this? Please.
Hey guys i recently updated my s4 to the new OTA lollipop and it came with so many issues that it basically rendered my phone useless. I looked at the baseband version and it says "L720VPUFNG2," when I looked up the update version on google it comes up as "L720VPUGOD2."
Just curious what the difference is between the two. I am hoping that maybe the OD2 version would solve my issues with the phone. Otherwise I will be downgrading for now.

OD2 is Lollipop, NG2 is KitKat, and because the baseband is still NG2 I am guessing something went wrong with the update. I would Odin the OD2 tar. By the way, DON'T TRY TO DOWNGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE. You can flash older ROMs but do not try to Odin an older version.

I haven't used my S4 in a while since i got my S6 Edge i was wondering is there a root for the S4 5.0 I've been looking everywhere and no luck yet
I'm seconding this question.
In addition I'm on 4.3 and my system can't even manually pick up on the update. What's up with that?
Third that...
I just got my S4 L720 replacement, came pre-loaded with 5.01 and I can't find a way to root it, cant do anything with it really...
Haaaaallp!
Just use Odin to flash TWRP, then in TWRP flash Chainfire's SuperSU.
It's the same as KitKat, what mattzeller said or Odin CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chainfire

Ok I'm not an expert at all and I don't want to follow the wrong guide and mess everything up. I googled some of the terms and I don't feel confident enough in what I found.
How exactly do I get to KitKat (be it the stock rom or the one really close to it) and root it?

You can't Odin an older firmware. Odin the same firmware or a newer firmware than you were on.

i have been trying to odin jelly bean roms. i have tried to odin 4.4.2 but wont up date either. when i recieved fone it was running dark stalker and everything is custom. my current binary is custom and also is system status
I am new to all these so forgive me if I don't know something obvious. I have a grand prime sm-g530h that I tried to root using the cf-autoroot chainfire files. But it did not work and I ended up stuck in odin mode forever! I was trying to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop. Anyway I could not even go back to kitkat version using the 4.4.4 file from chainfire. Here is the link to this problem if anyone is can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/help/stuck-downloading-mode-trying-to-root-t3400043
Anyway, I then downloaded the firmware from sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46171/G530HXXU2AOC2_G530HODD2AOA1_BNG/ and this time it worked and I was able to get back to my phone! all the apps that were previously installed were present as if nothing changed.
I did notice one difference between the file sizes. Chainfire MD5 files were around 30 MB while sammmobile files were around 1 GB!! and a lot of processes happened when I installed the sammoble firmware using odin which did not happen when I tried to use the chainfire files.
Here is a screenshot of odin after installing sammobile firmware:

My concern is why is there a such a huge difference in size of the MD5 files? Should I be concerned? Did this also install any hidden malware that I should be worried about? I see something called "hidden.img.ext4" and other stuff! Is sammobile.com safe? Please help!
