How do you check to see what version bootloader you have? I have unlocked my bootloader on my Note 3 and am running OF1/5.0. Ready to install TWRP and new ROM. But, not sure if I have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader and can't seem to find a simple answer and how to confirm.

This is what you'll get... In my case.. NC4 bootloader (unlocked) and OF1 based OS (Jasmine ROM)

Thank you for the recommendation. I dig the app, though I still don't know which bootloader I have going by the 4.3/4.4 scale. I'm assuming by now I have the most current one, which ever one that is, because I installed the latest TWRP and am running CM13 with no issues thus far.

The last 3 digits represent the OS/bootloader/firmware versions. In my case, bootloader is NC4 which is 4.4.2, my baseband (modem) is NK1 which is 4.4.4 and the ROM base is OF1 which is 5.0

That's because it's referred to just by OA3. Why does he need a modem?

Here are the stock ROMs- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59310363
I would try www.sammobile.com for the firmware. I downloaded it from there before I had to return mine.
Hello!
I have AT&T (i337ucuamdl) Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.2.2 installed. I have rooted the phone years ago and have not touched since. How do I update the phone to the latest 5.XX version? Is it possible to preserve the root? I saw the warning about MDL version that it is not supported. Anyone?
Thank you!
Look here.
Will I be able to use OTA updates with this ROM?
Thank you!

If you really still have the mdl bootloader, then you don't want to do an ota update, which will replace the exploitable mdl bootloader with a locked one.
If you have already done ota updates on the phone in the past, then you are already on a locked bootloader, and the above link would be irrelevant.
How did you get 4.2.2 onto the phone without replacing the UCUAMDL bootloader?

This is what I have now. Interesting that some applications are saying the phone is not rooted. I have done it 2 years ago. I cannot recall how I did it.
Thank you!
The application tells me I am not rooted.
I guess it is better to repeat the root procedure now.

This will root and install TWRP on MDL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
This will give you stock OC3 lollipop and keep your MDL bootloader.

I have rooted the phone successfully yesterday. I got a problem during my backup with FlashFire. Apparently something happened during backup and my microSD card got locked. What ever I do now I cannot format it or write anything on it. Anyone experienced it?
Thank you!
Yeah. I had 2 go bad on me out of the blue. Thankfully, they were SanDisk, which has a lifetime guarantee.
Snapping along on stock rooted 0C4 I337, wishing for some good up to date lollipop ROM's to throw into flashfire
Installed OC3. Do you know if the OC4 is available? It fixes the security bug that I would like to use.
Thank you!
I have a few concerns to address. I recently bought the Galaxy i9505 (or in my case, the Sprint SPH-L720T version). The device comes unlocked with stock firmware/software, Lollipop 5.0.1 baseband OH2.
Now I will try to make this as clear as possible. We don't have the Sprint network here, I'm on Vodafone. I just flashed an official ROM from Sammobile with a different baseband version (this one) because I can't find the version that my phone came pre-installed with. I upgraded to address the StageFright and widgets app draw issue that was on the stock ROM.
Now my question is: by flashing a different baseband version, will I lose the ability to have an unlocked device and incur roaming charges on my network, or is the unlocked to work on multiple networks feature on a firmware level so I don't have to worry about it?
Thanks.

You will lose your domestic/international unlock of you upgrade the Baseband unless it was actually unlocked by Sprint.

Yeah, I kinda figured that would be the case. Good thing I made a backup.
I suppose you wouldn't know where I can get a StageFright Patch for the OH2 version by any chance?
Good Day everyone, I am looking for some directions to the correct section. I live in Australia and have a Sprint SPH-L720 S4. I would like to take the phone back to stock S4 firmware, as the phone works awkwardly in Australia. Any help please? Cheers

Follow the first 6 steps in the instructions section of my ROM thread (linked below). Substitute OD2 for whatever firmware version you desire to flash. Just know that you can't go backwards, as in you can't flash older firmware than what you are on.

Thank you I will give it a go. I bought this phone from a guy, not knowing it was a US Sprint phone.

Depends on which one you choose. OD2, OH1, and OK3 are all Lollipop firmware.
Everything is working great, I am not seeing any issues at all.... but I am using Jasmine 6.1 which is based on OF1 lollipop 5.0. I had been running 4.4.2 when I unlocked the bootloader and then installed TWRP and then Jasmine6.1.
I was digging through my phone's status via the Phone INFO app and (not really surprised) that my bootloader was still NC4 and my modem was NK1 (I flashed the OF1 modem when I flashed lean kernel).
Like I said, all is working well... I tend to leave things alone if there're not broken..... SO.... Is there any reason I should update bootloader or modem?
Thanks in advance...
Don

I would advocate the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." approach.
Assuming you archive the various Odin stock releases so you'll have them in the future, you always have the option of rolling forward, but mostly won't have the option of rolling back.*
For earlier releases of firmware than what you are using (e.g. MJ7 and MJE) there seems to be an inability to boot stock kernels from later releases. And even non-stock kernels as well (I can't boot twrp-3.0.2-0-hltevzw-4.4 for instance, even though it doesn't have a "stock" heritage).
But I'm not sure this is a fundamental technical incompatibility or something that is merely sensitive to the kernel configuration options used during their builds.
It is a significant practical issue for folks on old firmware that might prevent them from using a "debloated" newer stock release, however. If folks who are willing to build kernels for us (I am trying OB6 and NK1 kernel builds with zero success at the moment) figure out what the technical issues are we might makes some progress here; if not the practical issues will remain.
But who is to say that something like this might or might not happen in the future to folks currently unlocked on "4.4" bootloaders? Keep those Odin stock bundles archived until you get rid of the phone!
* I realize there are some exceptions.
Yea... For now... That's my plan... Was just wondering if someone knew for sure one way or the other.
