I'm hoping someone can clear up something for me. This is a screenshot of my baseband version. As you can see it's ME7, but I can flash any rom just fine without safestrap. This shouldn't work, right? Am I missing something or just being a dum dum?

You're on mdk with loki but with me7 baseband or as you can maybe say radio version. Just like HTC having its own radios and you can flash a newer version through recovery.

Not 100% accurate. The latest radio is MJ7. Currently the only correct way to apply it is to flash via Odin.

I recently got a replacement S4 with version 4.2.2, so I rooted it and installed Hyperdrive rsl10 rom. Now my Galaxy Gear watch won't connect. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks for the help guys.
I believe you will have to flash a 4.3 rom since you won't be taking Verizon ota updates. Gear watch needs 4.3 roms

Ok I haven't seen where I can install a 4.3 rom on this 4.2 build.
What's your baseband? Are you using Safestrap or Loki'd TWRP?

Ok, then you have two options. You can either go back to stock and update to 4.3 or wait until Safestrap is released for 4.3 so you can flash Hyperdrive RLS11.

OK going stock and losing root isn't an option. lol
Mateopase is right. I didn't catch that you were stuck on safestrap...

I'm on MK2 right now and it seems hope of bootloader unlock may be in the form of reverting back to mdk.
Of this is the case here is my question.
If on mdk can you flash any stock kernel like mk2 or are you stuck with mdk based kernel. I ask this as mj7 had charger issues but mk2 doesn't.

Where did you see that we could revert, or are even close to being able to?

Not able to revert but has been talked about. I'm just preparing in case it happens and finding out info. It may never happen.

If you're on an MDK s4 you'd be able to flash any kernels that are made for the phone as well as any modems.

There is leaked copy of 4.4.2 for ATT with new a new bootloader

This is NOT to be flashed on the Verizon variant, because you know somebody out there is going to want to try.

A new bootloader means there's a good chance we may soon be able to flash custom recovers right?

It is very doubtful unless they find an exploit that wasn't in the MK2 bootloader.
You can flash back to 4.3 after you flash this leak. It doesn't trip the qfuse. But once the official release is out that might change but yeah people on VZW should not flash this.

This might be good news. If the kernel changed for 4.4 and you can flash back devs might find a work around.

Hi all, I got a couple questions. I'm currently still on 4.3, running a safe-strapped Rom (Galaxy s4, VZW). I'd like to upgrade to KK.
Is the latest firmware available OTA still NC5?
What method will I need to upgrade, OTA or flash stock? Since I'm rooted, is an OTA even an option? I do have SuperSU pro's survival mode (I heard that worked for a couple people). I'm guessing otherwise I'd have to Towel root.
Finally, I assume I should delete the custom ROM slot and factory wipe my stock slot before updating. Will doing a reset affect safe strap, or will it leave it alone?
Thanks!

Thank you for the link, and everything else you've done around here, Bob. I read around a little but I couldn't figure this out: do I have to use Surge's method to upgrade or can I take an alternative route (in guessing Odin) , now that towel root exists?
I'm hesitant only bc I tried to use his downgrade /upgrade methods on a different phone and had some problems. Thanks.

Nvm, I'm going to try to giglie's method. Guess I'm going to wipe my 2nd Rom slot and factory reset my stock slot. Hope I'm on the right track?

You can't use ROM slots with 3.72 safestrap. ROM must be installed to stock slot. Take and research this info.

I went back to stock using Odin. took update, rooted with towelroot installed Safestrap 3.72 . Then installed custom KK rom. All worked without any issues

Thanks for the info. I was just curious, could I do a full unroot/reset (I rooted with saferoot) instead of flashing stock with odin? I mean, same end result, right

Thanks for the link again. I meant I would wipe my current custom ROM slot before I flash to stock or update anything.

I would recommend Odin full wipe tar. This gets your phone 100% stock. It's safe, simple and proven to work.
Watch the videos they help a lot.
I haven't done it the other way!
Don't want to miss lead you.

First i would like to say, Thanks for checking out my post. Now i have a question. I am running freezas rom and i have the nh7 firmware. How do i upgrade this to nk4?
Is it true i have to facyory reset my phone and run the ota update? If so it will not allow me to update, because my device had a custom rom. Also where can i find the nk4 tar file so i can odin it to my note 3?

If you factory reset, then odin the nk4 update, you will be on official firmware. Odin will over-write your old system, giving you official status. This is how we all go from rooted roms to official in order to get updates.

Or wait for a dev to put out a rooted update. And lollipop is being sent out so maybe wait a little bit.
