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 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.
Hi Guys,
On my Galaxy S5 (900F), this is what's installed at the moment:

Quick questions:
Is the Baseband the MODEM?
How do I update only this? Is it possible to take it off a ROM?
I want to upgrade it to NG2.
thnx
Baseband is the radio (aka modem) version. The radio can be separated from a full firmware package and in the past, some people have done this, preferring to change or update only the radio. Android 4.3 made flashing more restrictive and the bootloader will now prevent doing this for most carriers now. So if you wish to update the radio you will likely have to flash a full update or stock firmware package.

- Yes. Baseband, Radio, Modem and CP (Cellular Processor) are referred to the same thing.
- To update only the baseband: Download the appropriate firmware, extract and get 2 files: modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin. For detailed instruction how to update the baseband, please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help
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.

Hi guys
I have a korean Note 3 (N900L) running on Omega v23 custom rom developed for N9005 version. When i initially got this phone it has NK1 baseband version which was a bit weak in receiving signals so i decided to try out other modems. After a very brief research, I found NG1 modem and flashed it but the result was even worse than the previous modem. Now I cant even get messages and make phone calls. Although my signals are full and phone is registered on network but still.
Apart from the signal issue, the rom works just fine so the problem is with the modem file.I downloaded NK1 Modem for N9005 version and tried to flash it via odin but the flashing fails during file writing ( I guess i cant flash some other version baseband ) If anyone can guide me to the right direction or give me a link for NK1 Modem file it would be great. I know NK1 is out there somewhere for this model because I saw it flashed when i get this phone. I just need to find it. any help will be much appreciated.
P.S: I have attached a screen shot for reference

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 might have the new version, the L720T. root method could be different?
