Currently I'm just running rooted stock, haven't decided on a rom yet, but..
I keep getting this notification there's an update for my phone blah blah.
My current baseband is L710VPLI3
Is there a safe way to update the baseband version but keep root?
Rooted stock android version: 4.0.4
Unzip this and flash in phone slot of ODIN (attached) to just update baseband. To update the whole rom and stay stock rooted then this should do ya
ty sir.

My HTC EVO is still running 2.2 Baseband ver. 2.15.00.11.19. It's rooted with CM. I've avoided updating to the latest version of Android because I didn't want to lose root. However I think it's time to update. I'm concerned that once I update I can't put the genie back in the bottle. Would someone be kind enough to walk me through the process so I can update to the latest "rootable" version of Android and how to "reroot" (if needed) after the update?
just install the latest update . 2.3.5 then click link below in my sig to root
no problem
Just go get the update as a custom rom and load it. You can also find the updated radios out there and flash them too.
Current firmware version : Android Version : 4.0.4 / Baseband Version : I747UCLG1
Latest firmware version : Android Version : 4.1.1 / Baseband Version : I747UCDLK3
My phone is rooted but I have not added any custom roms yet, I just wanted to know if I could up date to the lastiest AT&T 4.1.1 and then back it up just encase I wanted to go back to the newly updated Factory rom and then install a custom rom? Also I have TWRP v2.4.3.0 running on my phone..

yup, update via a flashable stock firmware zip in recovery (in the android development section i believe) or in odin (also in android dev section). make a nandroid and either run on stock or flash whatever rom you want to try out. of course, since your phone is rooted now with custom recovery already installed, you could just make a nandroid and flash something now. if you want to revert to stock, download the latest official firmware release then. cheers
Saw this in the development section. It looks to be cwm or twrp flashable 4.1.1.

Samsung KIES is where i updated mine to 4.1.1. i believe KIES also allows you to revert back to ICS if necessary. (it's called phone recovery or something like this).

Try mobile Odin in the play store. Download and extract the firmware to your computer. Then put it on the root of your external or internal sd card. Run mobile Odin from your phone and choose the ever root option. You will then have the newest firmware, rooted, with all your data intact.

(ATT S3) I was running 4.1.2 then rooted and installed custom rom.. notice phone having few issues so i decided to revert back to the stock firmware but flashed the 4.1.1 firmware. so my baseband shows the new update but shows 4.1.1 version. The phone runs fine but have any of the new features so how can i fix this.
If your phone is stock firmware for your carrier have you tried updating ota or through kies?

If you reverted back to a truly stock ROM, then you can update it using Kies.
I'm using SlimKat 4.4.4, yet my phone's baseband version is 4.1.1 (I747UCDLK3). I'm looking to upgrade my baseband version to 4.4.2 due to some issues.
Can I upgrade straight from 4.1.1 to 4.4.2?
Or do I need to upgrade to 4.1.2 -> 4.3 -> 4.4.2? If this is the case, I have one concern. There are many footnotes saying if you downgrade from 4.4.2 to a lower version, you will brick your phone. These footnotes don't specifically say whether they're talking about OS version or baseband version. Is it safe for me to upgrade to 4.1.2 -> 4.3 -> 4.4.2 with a 4.4.2 ROM? Is it safe for me to flash a 4.1.1 stock ROM?
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

first if wanted , i would get the free unlock sim code (am pretty sure is available on 4.1.1).
all i have ever read says to do the incremental updates (safest).; which i believe you can do OTA ; or flash thru recovery.
yes , you will most surely brick your phone if you try to downgrade bootloader from 4.4.2.
AND you want to keep bootloader and baseband at the same version. upgrade one then upgrade the other.
if your already on 4.1.1 , then yes flash away the stock 4.1.1 rom ; if youre talking about after you upgrade to 4.4.2 then the 4.1.1 may not flash unless you edit the updater script (think thats what its called , been awhile).
good luck !

This is an I747, right? I think the I747M had LK3 firmware too. If you happen to be on an I747M don't flash any of the I747 specific stuff below, or you'll probably brick your phone.
Since you're still on the old firmware it might be a good idea to carrier unlock your phone if you haven't already done it. You'll lose that ability if you update.
To update to 4.4.2 firmware you can go two ways. You can Odin back to unrooted stock and you should start receiving OTA updates. They will be incremental and they'll come about 24 hours apart, or you can set your system time ahead a day to cheat that. Eventually you'll get up to the 4.4.2 firmware. NE4 is 4.4.2, but NJ1 is the most recent. This is probably the safest way, but it will be somewhat slower. Those OTA's are full firmware packages so they're big downloads.
Or you can flash bootloader/modem only upgrades in custom recovery. Enewman17 has posted everything you need to get an I747 up to date to XDA. I flashed all these while running the Slimkat stable 9 ROM to get my I747 from LK3 up to NJ1. This has to be done incrementally and you have to boot successfully into your ROM in between each firmware flash. You can't jump from the 4.1.1 bootloader to the 4.4.2 bootloader. First flash the MJB firmware update linked to this thread then reboot into your ROM. Next flash the NE4 firmware zip also linked to that thread and then reboot into your ROM. You're on 4.4.2 firmware at this point, but if you want to be on the newest bootloader and modem then flash the NJ1 zip attached to this thread. If you go this route be sure you read enewman's posts very carefully and understand exactly what you're doing because fiddling with the bootloader and modem is the #1 way to hard brick this phone.
For the most part you can flash any ROM you want no matter what firmware you're on as long as it is intended for I747. You might find that your wifi won't work or your modem doesn't work or maybe it just bootloops if you get on a ROM that wasn't intended for the bootloader/modem currently on your phone, but you can still boot up into recovery and restore a backup or flash another ROM and get out of that. What you have to be very, very careful with is the bootloaders since Knox was introduced, that's MJB, NE4, and NJ1. Those bootloaders cannot ever be downgraded; don't try it. You'll hard brick and it is pretty hard to recover from. Its also for the best to keep your bootloader and modem matched on this newer firmware; the OTA method or the zips linked to the threads above will do that. Custom ROMs that are AOSP/CM based won't ever mess with your bootloader and modem. They're just a system image and a kernel. What you have to be really careful with is Odin, those are usually full firmware packages. AT&T hasn't allowed a stock image beyond 4.1.1 to be released for the I747, so once you're on the newer bootloaders there is no more option to Odin back to stock.
Good luck.
Hi im a newbie and I wast just wondering if anyone knew where I can find the latest firmware update? I have an att note 2 that I flashed back to stock 4.1.1 and then rooted it but im having a hard time flashing all the latest custom roms like they keep failing! So my only guess is that my modem or kernel or baseband or bootloader needs to be updated or something! So my question is is there a way I can keep root and update these and if so how would I go bout doing so? Any answers would be much appreciated!
The simplest, but not fastest, would be to flash back to a completely stock 4.1.1 from and run ota updates until the phone is running 4.4.2.
