Hi all,
I am using MOAR v5 right now. I plan to update to MOAR v7.01 soon, but I don't have the time right now. v7.01 requires the MK3 modem. If I flash the MK3 modem now, but stay on v5 for now, will it screw up making/receiving calls/texts?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, you can flash any modem you want to.
Right on. I thought so, but I wanted to check before a potential brick. Thanks.

Definitely so, I flashed while on that version and will also make your transition to v7.x.x that much smoother. Just reset your modem through the dialer afterwards

I am avoiding the Knox OTA and have flashed OTA based ROM without the new baseband.
While there is a mod with a combination of 4.3 baseband and 4.2 LTE, I would like to know if there is any benefit in doing that - given the problems a number of posters have run into ? The Stock odexed ROM seems to run Ok without.
Here is how you do it. For me I just like having the newest baseband. But, it stands to reason they improve over time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

I was referring to that thread and was wondering what the benefits of the new baseband might be. Should have also asked if there are no problems with it on 4.3 ROMs, will there be any issues restoring 4.2 nandroids after ODINing the modem?

Their would be no problems if you odined the modems, only if you had the new bootloader.
I think the OP is shooting for an answer to "Does the new baseband improve signal quality" or "MAke the battery last for like a decade" or anything like that.
I have no idea because I've not tried it. But I'd certainly be interested in the answer.
It improved signal on my end. On some ROMs the signal would drop also when the phone goes to sleep and this helps with that too.
One other thing is I'm seeing Lte where I wasn't before (but I don't know if that's because of the modem or they are improving around here).
I don't know about battery life yet though.

I would settle for a year on the battery - lol.
I have not read anything so far that answers this, and there is a mixed bag with respect to issues after flashing only the 4.3 GSM modem. I am more concerned with the latter.
I flashed the "ROM] [STOCK] M919UVUEMK2 | 4.3 | Deodexed | CIQ Free | KNOX Free" with no issues on MDL and ran pretty good. Only issue initially is was not able to get the Wallet Mod to work on it (since it was Deodexed thought it would work, as deodexed is specified in the MOD thread), but no luck. I seems to break NFC - maybe why OP of Omega thread gave up on it.
When this gets sorted out, you might update the OP of your thread, as everyone who does not accept the OTA will have to deal with this.
I have the Wicked ROM v7 with the 4.3 modem and the 4.2.2 LTE installed on my phone. Along with the latest Ktoonsez kernel, I've notice a decent improvement on my mobile signal. My Wi-Fi signal works as well without any issues. I recommend that you try it and see what results you get.

I had ODIN'd the 4.3 modem before I read your reply.
I am on Wicked v8 and kT kernel plus also duel boot 4.4 and believe I have seen some improvements also. I was more concerned abut some of the issues some had run into and have not had any so far.
Hello I have a couple questions about my T999L I am running a stock deodexed rom but the baseband and the build #s don't match baseband is MK4 and build MK7 is this a problem ? Also I am on version 4.1.2 I would like to get up to a custom 4.3 Rom what ones can I use? I had to come back to this because my wifi wouldn't work? thank for any help.
Its quiet possible that you had different Modem than your Rom. No issues. It sounds like you got this phone from someone else. They may not have flashed insecure kernel. That's the reason for Wi-Fi Not Working.
So long you don't have signal issues, its fine to keep that modem. As to 4.3 Roms, there's plenty to choose from.
Okay so I have a question I am hoping someone can help me with. I am on t mobile, I have an S4. Currently I am rooted and I have android 4.2.2 Alpha 11.0 Bioshock kernal 3.0. I installed it when it first came out and since then I have been MIA at work. I want to install "the Sickness" on my phone. But I wasn't sure if the procedure was the same as usual. I saw something about "safestrap" and I just wanted to make sure I can load the rom as I would normally. Thanks for any assistance, I did look around before I posted this but could find anything about tmobile. I probably miss somethings.
No safestrap, you can flash it normally but you'll also need to update your modem to NB4
Update the modem first?

whats up guys im having a bit of trouble finding the stock roms for galaxy s3 im looking for the latest stock rom thats rooted. it can have small tweaks for performance. If anyone can provide a link that would be sweet thanks again guys i tried looking up stock roms but it didnt help to much
Well with the information you've provided I'm left not knowing a whole lot, so I'll just assume you're on the latest nd8 build and if so here is the link to that stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741413
please make sure you read the Op, because if you are not on the nd8 build you DO not want to flash this.

how'd you have trouble? and the latest ones flashable are under the name ND8 and NDC....
If you're on JB 4.1 it is mandatory you update via unrooted through PC ODIN first before you actually flash the KK TW Roms.
Stock Unrooted L710VPUDND8 or Stock Unrooted L710 BST/VM NDC
Once you're done then you can head to these two threads for the stock odex/deodexed versions of the ROM
Stock Rooted SPH-L710 Sprint Model or Stock Rooted VM/Boost ROM
Kudos to @jdsingle76, @DR_CDMA, @CNexus for these.
The stock ROMs don't carry tweaks. But there are great and standard tweaks you can find on XDA-D. But you should
only use it as a last resort if you're device really does need it. One tweak would be Operation Killjoy by Team Kernelizers
and the other is ComaDose v3.5 mod tweak mashup for d2spr by Goddly.
( Kudos to @Exit_Only, @kobridge, @Phakker, @j_ding84 and @idcrisis for all of the insane mods/tweaks and @Goddly for the mashup ).
Thanks guys I'm running miui 4.2.2 currently I'll look into the threads posted thanks again. Do I need to flash the nd8 tar if I'm on 4.2.2 already?

Hello,
Is there any kit kat touchwiz ROM available which is somewhat stable? I would like to be able to use tap n pay. I have a Verizon NOte 2 with such a ROM and it works great. I am upset that it is so hard to find a ROM for the tmobile phone.
I guess Tmobile never released kitkat for this phone?
Lol .. :sly:
Use S.W.A.R.M (Stock) or Test Rom 1.2 (it has some S5 apps - does not have wifi calling) follow all instructions for installing.
Sorry SWARM isnt KitKat. Rom of Thrones is - which is the base for my Test Rom 1.2 - Good Luck.

Thanks,
I did try test ROm and my wifi wasn't working. I now know that its because I needed to update my baseband .. Which I have now done. SO ill give one of those a try.
I also understand that we can load AT&T roms on this phone as long as we are using the T889 Radio,,, so I am looking at those roms as well

Yes. You can also try AGNi Kernel if Wifi still isnt working. From my experience 4.3.0 is the best so far.

I had to flash the wifi fix. Im not sure if flashing a kernel would have fixed my wifi problem. As I understand; the issue is that my phone has the original bootloader that it was shipped with. it doesnt have the 4.3 OTA bootloader therfore I had to install this wifi fix.
SO now I have a Tmobile T889 running an ATT touchwiz rom... I have working LTE(LTE worked with Tmobile roms too). To get the LTE to work I had t flash the latest tmobile radio. My Google wallet tap n pay works again. I am extremely happy about this setup!
Oh... and I am using AT&T go as the service... not Tmobile

Yes flashing a kernel would have fixed the wifi. Flashing the patch wouldve probably made things worse to be honest..now the only way to revert the patch is to odin back to the original firmware...
Im on 4.1.2 Bootloader myself. Havent upgraded to anything above that..i only flash kernels and the modems. Works fine for me. Only issue is the charging while phone is off doesnt work.
Which Rom did you use?
