[Q] should I update my modem? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Can someone please tell me what will happen to my phone if I update my modem to M919UVUEMK2? I've heard some people say everything stops working, I won't be able to root, I can't gain service and I lose WiFi. Then other people have said that everything works they rooted and they have no issues. Can someone tell me their experiences with it and if it is good can you please provide a link for the new modem.

First off, ask yourself why you want to update the modem. Are you having problem with current modem? If your phone is working fine don't see a reason unless you just want to.. As for what will happened to your phone depends, should be no problems but you assumed any and all risks when doing anything.

does your WiFi and network service work? And is it true that the Knox makes it 100% impossible to unroot to regain the warrenty?

Like you I am running the wicked ROM but I have been trying to switch over to the Google edition ROM and it doesn't work with my modem. And when Wicked ROM updates to 4.3 I would need the new modem.

I'm currently on Wicked v7 ROM and I have the MK2 modem installed on my phone. My mobile signal has improved slightly and my Wi-Fi signal works 100% without any issues. Use the link as posted by Android_Monsters to flash your modem. And yes, at this time Knox makes it impossible to unroot to regain the warranty. But give this forum some time. I'm sure the developers here will figure out a way to bypass Knox.

The developers have already removed KNOX. There are several 4.3 roms ready to go. Official stock with KNOX removed is also out. Install the new modem via ODIN and flash your favoite flavor of 4.3. Simple. No voided warranty.

MK2 not mediafire
Would someone please post a link to the MK2 modem that does not involve mediafire? I can't dl anything from their site. Or just email me the frigging thing. Thanks!

Different first Google setup screen (removed Gmail background, Backup and Location, Communication setting on same page)
Takes bit longer to get first data connection. APN is there.
No SELinux
Market version is old 4.1.10. N4 leak has 4.2.3.
Wayyyyyy smoother animations... 60fps I am pretty sure.
Wallet works fine without modifications.
Imdb and Dash clock widget now works (didn't on previous 4.3 Leak)

I'm watching the cores with CPU-Z and at rest only only core zero is working after my rom settled in for about 15 minutes. WOOOHOOO!!! Hopefully this means battery life is fixed! With previous 4.3 leak at rest at least 2 sometimes all cores firing at rest. Oh and OH so buttery smoooooooth!!

BTW running this on a Bell CDN i337m. I just launched the camera and it paused with a "Please wait upgrading camera firmware" for about 20 seconds and the camera is working awesome so far.
Running great. Finally the TouchWiz parts are almost completely removed. Only one part left and that's occasionally the text color on the send button is white instead of black. They're almost there.

CONFIRMED wireless charging now works when powered off!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!! It would freeze and turn the screen white with lines and massively overheat the battery with the previous leak!!!

Thanks for testing it! Guess we know now that the modem doesn't work. I had removed post since it was not related to this thread.
Were you on a 4.2.2 ROM or this 4.3 ROM (based on your signature you were on a GE ROM)? Also there was no issue when flashing?

I flashed that zip and it flashed successfuly but baseband shows amdj. I should know better I flashed mg8 via mobile odin yesterday and had to odin back to stock to get my baseband back from "unkown". Obviously in my case the flash didn't take as i still have radio and mdj baseband.

is SGH-M919N THE SAME AS SGH-M919?

I bought a samsung galaxy 4 from metropcs and i would like to flash it over so i can upgrade it 4.3 and just have my way with my device, but i do not want to mess it up. So i would like to know if sgh-m919n is the same as sgh-m919 and if so is there any way i can root my phone?
Thanks in advance
They are similar but not the same. I believe you can use the same root method, though.

thank you, but do you know which root method is the safest?

how can i get that? if you dont mind me asking, any link?
thanks in advance
The aosp roms are in the "original development" forum. The samsung touchwiz roms are in the development forum.
Btw in case you didnt know, it's not as important to be on the latest android version anymore because google moved major features into apps in the store. A good example is like google search, the siri competitor, and everyone gets it the day its updated. 4.3 and kitkat don't really add much over 4.2. They look almost exactly the same and the new stuff has really specific uses that most people dont run in to. Almost no apps require it. I'd suggest getting a 4.2 touchwiz rom like infamous or wicked.

They are practically the same.
Physically they are almost identical except metro doesn't have any carrier branding on the outside (a plus). T-mobile is on MDL firmware and Metro is on MF2, which are similar but not identical.
Most 4.2.2 roms have most of what 4.3 offers and even 4.4 in some cases. Although with tmo finally updating to 4.3 next week, I'm assuming most roms will be updated shortly.
While there is always a chance for problems, rooting/flashing roms is fairly easy if you take the time to read/watch a video or two. Chainfire jokes that it should only take 30 seconds to root a device with his method and he isn't exaggerating, but doesn't mean you should rush.
Here is a run down of how I rooted and sim unlocked my 2 metro S4s. Both running on Hyperdrive rom with faux123's kernel.

T-mobile wifi calling on AT&T SGH-I317

HiI have SgH-i317 it is unlocked and rooted. But Knox warranty void 1. means that in cant downgrade to factory rom. I just want to ask expert what precation i should take so i can't brick my phone. also i want to use t-mobile and want to use wifi calling feature i installed and tried jedi master x2 rom and select t-mobile i successfully install rom. but since i dont have any t-mobile sim yet can't check wifi calling feature but with my att sim i keep losing signal in every 2-3 minutes and get signal right back in 10 second but call is dropping as signal get lost.
so can some one direct me right direction so i can utilize this feature when i buy t-mobile sim
Thank you
If you are having signal issues search the JediMasterX thread there are multiple fixes for this on your phone. All revolve turn SE LINUX to permissive and possibly flashing a new modem.

Remember that the phone checks for updates using the AT&T servers, if you are not using an AT&T sim, you wont be able to get the update. I would just load a custom 4.3 TW rom, which I'm sure are a lot better than the crap AT&T releases.
Have you tried to Odin to a stock 4.3 ROM.
You might want to try the one click.
Think I have it somewhere let me check.

Not sure, have you tried plugging it in to a pc using Kies? Do you have an Att sim with you? You could give it a try by using an ATT sim and connecting to wifi

The one click method puts the leaked AT&T 4.3 bulks on it. It is not rooted. If you skip the cf auto root steps you will be on 4.3 non rooted stock.

Well the firmware is already available.
But the devs will need time to pull it apart and make flashables from it
And there will also need to be testing with how the newer radios work.
And potential issues with being on the older bootloader for those that have not updated due to Knox.

^This!
But if you update with 4.4 from samsung and have Knox it will void that.
Everything else should work though.
I, like many others, are not trying to get into this whole Knox thing.
I am just wondering if it will work okay with the old radios.
