As long as you have a recovery and aren't me7 safe strapped it'll work. As for signal strengths, new radios barely effect signal strength.

Are there any release notes or changelog for the MI1 modem? I always love the latest/greatest, but replies above seem to imply that there were no signal strength improvements.

Hi,
I have a stock rooted rom, with no custom recovery. Can I flash this with Mobile Odin Pro?
I renamed the file to .zip from .bin and it is now recognizable in Mobile Odin.
I just want confirmation that I can go ahead with the flash.
No. You can't

I read this off http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/12/...lly-bean-official-galaxy-note-2-lte-download/ saying:
"This is a completely unbranded firmware, and can be installed on almost every Galaxy Note 2 LTE N7105 (except China, Taiwan, Hong Kong versions)."
Could this be due to the CSC/Modem variant?
If so, any idea if i can flash 4.1.1 DXALJ1 (Singapore / Singtel) modem onto this LL1 4.1.2?
I am currently running LK1 (4.1.2) with DXALJ1 (Singapore / Singtel) modem and seems to be fine but just curious.

Just wanted to ask: We should flash this AFTER completing the rooting methods? (Flash via ODIN the same way we did root etc..,) Sorry Im new to Samsung and rooting phones in general, but I do have experience with root/bootloader/etc.., on my tablet...
I see we refer to this as "MDK" Would that be the baseband version or build number? If I am already on Build#JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK and baseband# I545VRUAMDK, would I still need to flash this file to get back to "stock" w/ root? Just a little bit confused....

The provided build at the moment is a "Back to Stock" restore. I'm working on a pre-rooted version but AFAIK you'd have to have the bootloader unlocked in order to flash these. Being on Sprint I'm still a little confused on how that works - hopefully spending a little more time around the forums will help clear that up. (Thinking about getting one of these for the parents as a holiday gift - the lower end one they have seems to just be... substandard.)

Can confirm also it doesn't hurt at all. I was using the new ME7 modem.bin under the MDK firmware.
Also I just got done flashing the rom and it looks like all worked perfectly. Just need to restore a bunch of applications and stuff (using nandroid backup pro to get that done)

I've taken a look at it...what's your question? Back to your original question....if you get a replacement S4 you're most likely going to get one with the latest firmware and a lock bootloader. The MDK bootloader, the original bootloader that came with the S4 when released, is the only bootloader that can be unlocked (loki) which mean the only bootloader that will allow you to put a custom recovery (TWRP or PhilZ) on the phone. Unless you have an MDK bootloader the only way to flash a ROM is with Safestrap and it has to be a TW based ROM.

I've also looked at your other question.... JP already said what's gonna happen if you get q new one through insurance.
Have you tried the full wipe in Odin?? One of Odin files on here is the no wipe. I'd try that before you give up your mdk s4. Or at least Go on swappa and scoop a mdk s4... unless you want to just run TW ROMs ?!?!

+1 on what Mistertac just said. I've got a question for you...if your S4 still works, how/why does an insurance replacement work? I guess it's not any of my business, but I was just wondering how you get an insurance replacement if the phone is still operational.

That link Is to root an MDK s4... yet your running Liquid Smooth? Sorry man I'm not following... Jog my memory lol
If you want a fresh start then sure after you Odin back mdk then root it using that link, then install whatever recovery you want. Starting fresh is a good thing sometimes.

Lol. Sorry! Yes, I am having some weird problems with my custom rom flashes so i want to start fresh and wipe everything with odin then re-flash liquidsmooth. So I am thinking I can skip the "rooting" how to and just go to flashing kernal, then reflash custom recovery? And if so will that cover everything for a "odin re-flash"?

Umm well you need to do things in a certain order.. Flash MDK stock firmware in Odin.
Then root it with that link you provided earlier.
Then install a custom recovery of your choice using say Goo Manager or Flashify.
Then your good to go and can flash whatever rom you want again.
Those are the steps you're going to have to take... No skipping any

Can I ask what weird problems with your rom flashes you're having? May be an easier way for you... maybe just update your recovery.

Most likely no....to asop and cm based roms. ..research a bit.

I'm reading all of these comments and I haven't seen a key word that will be in the new firmware, "KNOX". Have y'all thought about that little issue?

Realistically I don't think anyone on a Verizon s4 has forgot about good ol Knox lol
Although this thread here has jumped around a bit so... I think now the op has just used Odin to flash MDK and start fresh... So no Knox/locked down deal there..

I have the new firmware and I just used the saferoot method, used Titanium backup to freeze everything from KNOX, then downloaded TWRP. I strayed from TW for a bit and set KNOX to 0x1 lol

I have been getting boot hangs. Where it will just hang at the samsung custom unlocked icon screen. Then I'll pull battery and when I get it to boot it lost 90% of the free space with zero files to show for accounting for this hogging of available memory. My theory is that when it boot hangs in writing some temp files or something and then I battery pull (after 20 minutes sometimes) and then it does finally boot and majority of my previous free space is now gone.
Any ideas?

You're not on the I545, so your bootloader wasn't locked.
I'd say definitely use Odin to wipe that phone clean and start new. Although I've used Tri Angle Away on my MDK S4 to get rid of that custom screen. That's an option for MDK users.
Up to you rally.

Just to be clear... Your still on your MDK s4 right? Never got the new one through insurance?
