Hello XDA Developers,
I was trying to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy S4 deivce (SPH-L720). I successfully flashed the ROM through CWM. I installed the Google Edition ROM that was somewhere in the forums under Android Development.
But after reading the thread, it seemed that many people were have success with a kernel known as "AGAT".
After about 4-5 minutes of using the ROM, my signal and LTE went away, so I decided to flash that kernel as well. However, now I don't get any signal on any ROM. I flashed the stock kernel through Odin (I was trying to see if that would work), but no luck yet.
Any advice or tips?\
===================================================
UPDATE:
I restored it to the stock firmware and used TriangleAway. I took it to the Sprint store and the guy fixed it up for me in about 30 seconds.
Ya he probably just updated the prl and profile.

yup re activation was only way sprint tech over phone could fix it, if you know the dial code you can try it yourself...I also tryd the google edition rom with custom kernel which is what caused all this network lost, not even my stock rom nandroid back up could help me
Edit: heres the dial code for reactivation youl get data working again##72786#

Do you know how to install the AGAT kernel? I really want Google Edition, but I will wait if I have too.
You have to install the kernel right after flashing the rom...then wipe dalvik/cache and fix permissions. Worked great for me..

Does it matter whether it is on my sd card or if the kernel is located in my internal storage?

hi, this same thing happened to me and I've gone to 3 different sprint stores and none of them knew what I was talking about. my question is, how do you use the dial code you mentioned if the phone has no network connection? I've tried to go back and flash different rom's but nothing has worked. I'm using TWRP, AGAT 4.0, and the stable google rom. any help would be appreciated, I'm currently without a phone.

You're not *actually* calling anyone. It's sort of like command prompt for your PC. But instead of command prompt you use the dial pad It WILL work and it takes less than 30 seconds.

You know, you could make someone on here very happy if you sell your S4, then pick up one with the new official 4.3 software.

Sure but here nobody cares about that also i just got tired of full wiping for where new update. Is it possible to do what I want?
Why? Your device is a rare one. When you do decide to sell it, the value will be at least $100 more if not more with the MDL bootloaders vs the MF3 or higher bootloaders. There is a ton of custom ROMs all better than stock for this device. You can even flash ROMs from other carrier S4s. If you are worried about wiping data because of losing stuff, titanium backup will save you a ton of trouble. Also, it is not a requirement to do a full wipe for a ROM update. It is suggested because if you run into a problem, you can report it to the developer properly. I only do full wipes when going to a different ROM. I can promise that you will regret updating. Like I said, there are a ton of ROMs that are better than stock. Battery life, performance, storage space, etc. There are also ROMs that are almost completely stock.

I still say, make someone on these forums very happy with your MDL firmware, and sell them your device. I'd recommend swappa. Then go buy what you desire with the money. If you shop around, you an find a very good deal on a MF3 or higher S4 and you'll have money left over.
You can do so much with your MDL firmware. Maybe try a different rom for a while. Oh, and just because a developer updates the rom, doesn't mean you have to. If everything is working great, why touch it?

WRONG!!! A lot of people around here would trade their current MF3 or higher S4's for an MDL S4 in a second. Do some research before making such a foolish assumption.

You just want plain stock 4.3 as in back to unrooted ?
I'm not sure sure but there should be just a stock 4.3 ROM for at&t or the i9505 around the forums somewhere. Goldeneye is pretty much stock but optimized and with crude removed.
Let's keep things civil in here, this is a worldwide site. Attacks on culture and country of origin will not be tolerated.

I wanted a stock rom because of constant custom roms changes. But thanks to your replies I understood that staying with mdl is better and I dont have to full wipe every time.
Thank u vwry much and Happy new year
I have MDL on my wife's S4
Hello guys. I am running into a lot of problems wih my wife's s4 on MDL. It has been a while since I tweaked any gadget i have because of our baby. I was wondering what I can do to fix everything. NOTE: Everything is stock
The problems are:
1. I cannot use the tethering option. We are currently in the philippines right now and we have a plan on globe that offers tethering and 4g LTE.
2. The battery life if very poor. The battery on the phone is new and I dont think it is the battery because;
3. the phone gets very very hot and I and assuming something is running in the background continuously hence the problem.
4. I cannot update to new firmware ( the only thing I want on the new firmware is the installing of apps on the memory card.)
I would say you would benefit from a firmware upgrade. If you want to stick to stock and don't care about the other roms then refer to my previous post on page 1. If you have further questions feel free to PM me.

This^^^^ Swappa.com , And since this thread has run it's course.....Thread Closed.
Not really scared lol. Last phone I had anything custom on was the s3. Looking around it's obvious things don't work the same.
Only thing I have done with this s4 is root. Now I'm wanting to run a rom without all the extra att bloat. So just wondering what rom and recovery I should go with. I have Nl1 if it matters.
I want the bloat gone but still have the fancy features. Any input is appreciated!

Lots to read. But, in case it isn't immediately obviuos, you will need SafeStrap and its recovery. You will only be able to run, for the most part, TouchWiz roms. No custom recoveries or kernels.
Yeaaa lot of reading done after posting lol. Got safestrap running and recovery. Decided on the golden eye rom. For some reason I lose imei. Created a new Rom slot for it and flashed the module after the rom.
Had this issue on the s3 but can't remember what I did to fix it. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

thanks bro working great now. everything i read said creat a rom slot. even a couple vids.
wouldn't hurt to back up efs also along with a nandroid now or however you do it on SafeStrap. Put a copy of both on PC also--:good:
backed up efs with samsung tools. nice to have an app for that now! also did nandroid.
for anyone who comes across this thread. get samsung tools here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/efs-samsung-tool-universal-support-t2602325

Can someone try this zip for Verizon on that you can not get data on? I am not on Verizon but just trying to help out. This has to flahsed with a clean flash and at the same time as you flash the ROM. So flash ROM ....gapps.....data zip and then whatever else you want. Hope it works. Its just a stock apns_conf.XML from stock Verizon and made it into a zip. Real simple but hope it works.

Thank you for this. I've been running stock happily because of the reports of data issues on cm12 based roms. Aosp rom that I've tried worked fine. I don't want to chance messing things up having to flash the factory image to get data back honestly or I'd give it a shot right away. Downloaded it just in case people report good results.

Really, I am nowhere near a dev. Just a real possible simple fix converted into a flashable. I am on sprint and sprint data is a son of a gun. Sprint fix is the same file but with sprint apns. And I was just thinking that it would work for Verizon with the Verizon apns. Just trying to help.

Appreciate that. Especially since you're not even on Verizon. It's hard alot of times to find people that want to help especially when its not their problem on their device. So I applaud the effort. If I get a chance and feel like a risk-taker I'll try it lol. If not when I see someone mention the data issue again I'll direct them to your thread.

I found a *****en ROM named Nameless in the f/g variants of the Note 4. Was all psyched to flash it and play with it only to realize there's data issues. Is there any body who knows how to fix the data issue or maybe properly port this to our device?

I tried that and was unable to get it to get data. It really stumped me
Edit: Oh damn. I realized I flashed the wrong kernel and tried again. after flashing the data fix I got data for a second before the phone rebooted. I wiped everything but data when I flashed from my stock rom

T_T I'm not sure of what to search for. For branded roms it's relatively easy, but as an INT'L ROM I'm not sure if my process would work. So it's just some obscure file? I was thinking it may be because I flashed something wrong. No chance you can remember where you think you may have seen it? Like xda or another site?

I have been trying my hardest, asking on every forum i can find, to find out how to get the beta release of emotion kernel R24 for N910T. Not one single response.....but anyway. It is my understanding that the latest release of Emotion Revolution rom has r24 kernel as an option in aroma. My question is this; would it be possible to unzip the R23 kernel zip for N910T and replace only the R24 boot image from the emotion rom and leave all the other system files. Or would that be a really bad idea? Ha. I just want the kernel on Tekhds URv7. I know this is possible a really stupid question but I'm just now beginning to learn all the technical details of these things. And I will say ahead of time that any answer will be beneficial because I don't know much about how a N910T kernel differs from international as far as data is concerned or what the fix actually fixes when you flash it. But if it has any relwvance my phone is carrier unlocked and i dont even use tmobile. My goal is to learn something new everyday without hard bricking my baby like I did my N900A. I'm not by any means new to rooting but am very new to having a device that I can actually play with. Thanks in advance and us noobies appreciate everybodys patience.
