VZW S4 16GB
MDK bootloader
MK2 modem currently
Vanir 4.4.4
TWRP recovery
I'm running Vanir (previously 4.3, now 4.4) with the MK2 modem. Clean flashes with wipes, both ROM and modem. Bluetooth has always been a little finicky, more so with the 4.4 upgrade. Never had a problem with my cars with previous phones (e.g S3). Also, data/LTE occasionally stops working requiring a reboot (every few days). A search of the Vanir thread doesn't bring up any persistent issues with the ROM itself.
Would there be any issue installing the NC5 modem?
I was going to try reflashing the MK2 modem, and then Vanir itself. However, since the issues are all modem related, I thought I'd try NC5 first. I'm also wondering if 4.4.4 has any issues with older modems.
I'm not mdk but I have always used gigilies nc2 wifi fix zip...never any issue with wifi..bluetooth...GPS on any custom rom...ever.

You don't want the MK2 modem. Either flash gigiles fix as decaturbob said or the nc2 or nc5 stand alone modems. Use the modem for the rom you are running.
Here is a list of modem for S4 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487298

The issues with your data are most likely not the modem. A few of us had this same problem on various aosp Roms and switching modems did nothing at all... It was to do with the apns in the accrual ROM. Bluetooth as well. Some had issues with BT on Vanir too I recall.
One of my friends on here can't even run certain Roms I can due to the BT deal and we have our S4s set up the same exact way...
In the end I suppose it can't hurt trying a new modem. The NC5 one should cover you but pretty much just keep trying different Roms as well and see if those problems continue...

I presume what you mean is that the AOSP ROMs were built off a specific ROM as base, rather than compiled from scratch, and that ROM did not have complete APNs for VZW? Was there a fix to add the correct APNs?
Is the gogolie fix for wi-fi only? I don't have any problems with wifi.
I found gigilie's SafeUp/Down post, but couldn't find the post about the wifi fix. I found a repository "gogolie mogolie" on androidfilehost. Is that trustworthy?
I think I'll try to upgrade to NC5 first, then gigilie's fix.
@mageus if you go to this thread there are the zips you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487298
you have no need for the wifi fixes or nc2/nc5 modules
the only benefit from mj7-nc5 is that is enables aws band 4.
other than that the modem you choose should be the one that give you the best service/reception.
you will just have to try them out.

Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my brother's GS4 to work with his Ford Sync system in his vehicle. According to Ford, the GS4 with ME7 firmware is compatible. However, his rooted phone is on MDK firmware. Can I install that firmware on his phone and will it limit what rom's I can run on it?

If that phone is on MDK it can run anything really without an issue. A ton of options are available for it. I'd suggest a Kit Kat ROM myself... Unless your in love with a certain ME7 based ROM .
Does that phone have a custom recovery on it?

Yep, TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery. It currently is running the AOSP Google Edition ROM, which he is happy with. Can I just change the firmware to ME7 and keep everything else the same?
Thanks!!
BTW, that rom is a kitkat 4.4.2 based ROM.
Also, I forgot to ask......If I change the firmware, can I change back if need be? Any downsides to changing from the MDK firmware?

I'm thinking that maybe Ford Sync works with everything from ME7 and up. I don't think you need to specifically be on ME7.
I've seen others on here running Kit Kat ROMs and having no problems with Ford Sync.
Your list of ME7 based ROMs isn't going to be that big. However you have many many options of 4.3 ( MJ7 & MK2 ) and 4.4 ( NC5 ) ROMs to choose from.
What ROMs have you tried? Some have minor Bluetooth connectivity issues

If you flash a firmware. ..you will lose the mdk. ..so don't do that...you can flash others roms and kernels that won't effect the firmware.

Thanks a bunch guys! That's what I was afraid of, regarding the firmware. Hmm......he was running a different rom before when he had all the issues. We just went to this rom recently and he went back to his GS3 until I could sort this phone out. I'll have him try the GS4 again with this rom and see if it works any better. Thanks again!!

My GS4 has worked with Sync when running ME7, MI1, MJ7, MK2, and NC5. Never had any issues since I got the phone.
(Sure wish it had been a MDK phone, of course.)
I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. I've tried a couple of times to load a KK ROM on my S4 with MDK. I've tried Hyperdrive and a few others. No matter what I do, I can't get Bluetooth to function after installing the KK ROM. I've tried updating the radios and that hasn't helped either.
I'd be willing to give up MDK but I don't know anything about flashing with SS/Odin so I was hoping to stay on MDK so I can use TWRP. Could that be the problem? Thanks for any guidance, I really appreciate it.

How many Touchwiz ROMs have you tried?, And have you tried any AOSP ROMs like CM or Slim?
I wouldn't give up your MDK!!
I'd try a couple more roms and then if that doesn't fix it use Odin and start over with stock MDK and root .. custom recovery it.
Also... Try flashing KToonsez kernel along with whatever TW ROMs your into and see if that helps.

Hi guys,
I know with phones I've had in the past, we could flash roms from other carriers as long as we flashed a Kernel for the carrier you're currently on. Is this the case with our Sprint Note 3? There aren't a lot of roms available for our variant, so I was hoping to find more roms to experiment with, but don't want to mess anything up. Thanks in advance for your help.
First, what OS version do you have on your note 3. If you have updated to 4.4.2 NC5 you CANNOT downgrade to a older version of KK like NAB. Assuming you have, then you can only flash KK 4.4.2 based roms . I don't think you can flash roms from other carriers as the Basebands won't match.
EDIT here is some more info; ( Thanks topherk )
If you "dirty flash," there's no problem with that, just know that if you ever encounter an error, we will be unable to help you in any way.
You're right, cross-flashing might leave remnants (features) of the previous ROM, but there's no guarantee that they'll be utilized correctly or linked correctly to the system files. As far as I know, the "worst" thing that could happen by dirty flashing is an unrelenting boot-loop. In those cases, you should just do a full system wipe and re-install the ROM.
I recommend, as Micmars does, a full system wipe prior to installing any ROM, but to each their own.
Typically, ROMs do not install different modems. As far as the MJ4 vs. NAB vs. NC5, here's a little primer on the various versions:
MJ4
This was the last Jellybean TW released for the Sprint Note 3. If you are on MJ4, you'll have to update your bootloader to NAB (or NC5) in order to update to KitKat ROMs (and you can't go back). The
NAB
This is the first KitKat TW ROM for the Sprint Note 3. Once on NAB, you can't go back down to Jellybean (yet... some people are working on it). You need to be on the NAB or NC5 bootloader in order to flash these ROMs.
NC5
This is the second KitKat TW release for the Sprint Note 3. It introduced some updates to the system and it includes WiFi calling (I've never used it, but others say it's really nice). You can flash back and forth between NAB and NC5 ROMs as much as you want, without changing anything. You need to be on the NAB or NC5 bootloader in order to flash these ROMs.
As far as updating to NC5 ROMs, just look at the changelogs between the NAB and NC5 versions of the ROM. If the added/changed features look appealing to you (or it looks more stable), then by all means update.
As far as modems go, I always stick to the newest Modem, which always tend to work best for me (I'm in a large metropolitan area). Sometimes people will report that the older modems (MJ4 or NAB) work better in their area. The Modems are completely separate from the ROMs, so flashing an older (or newer) modem should not have any affect on the stability of the ROM. It's really up to you if you want to update it.
As far as bootloaders go, if you are already on KitKat ROMs, I'd recommend updating to the NC5 Engineering Bootloader, but as long as you're on NAB, you should be fine. Just make sure to read the OP of any ROM you flash, they typically will tell you what version of the bootloader you need to be on.

I'm fully aware of how to flash roms, and the merits of not "dirty flashing". What I'm curious about is whether or not we can find, for example, an AT&T Note 3 Rom, flash it on our phone, then immediately after flash the Beastmode kernel for our Sprint variant, and be able to actually boot into the rom and not lose the important things like wifi connectivity or 4g connectivity. I remember with other phones I've had in the past we were able to do that, without any major issues.

I took the plunge and tried to install a T-Mobile rom, and it booted up fine, I could make phone and receive phone calls, could receive texts, but I couldn't send any. Not sure really what I would've needed to do to get texts working properly though so I went back to my nandroid. Tried following a guide to get the rom working on our carrier, and the rom wouldn't flash. Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it. Looks like I'll just stick with the Sprint Roms.
Okay so I recently decided to to upgrade to the 4.4.2 KitKat root through this video http://youtu.be/AIRoQKTLeJQ and I was running the stock deodexed rom that was provided. I then looked up some compatible custom roms and came across several that were supposedly compatible with NC5 and Safestrap 3.72. However, on most of them (Echoe Rom, Bajarom, Phoenix Rom, etc) the wifi does not turn on even after rebooting. Bajarom it would work (it would take FOREVER to turn on though) until after I restored my nandroid backup (just data) from before I upgraded to 4.4.2 via the video. Then the wifi function would stop... Echoe Rom and Phoenix Rom both had a Galaxy S5 port that had S5 apps, themes, etc. These ones wouldn't have any network access at all. WiFi and 4G would not work. I would still have a signal so I could send texts and call people. I tried flashing modules and modems and NC5 fixes but nothing would work... Does anybody know how to fix this WiFi problem?? Or does anybody know of a good, clean, custom TouchWiz rom that has working wifi? This would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Did you flash modules after rom? That's the only way your wifi is going to work.

You could try flashing that wifi fix, which will set your modem as NC2. Then flash the NC5 modem and you'll have the NC5 baseband and working wifi (this is what I do for Hyperdrive).

You could try flashing that wifi fix, which will set your modem as NC2. Then flash the NC5 modem and you'll have the NC5 baseband and working wifi (this is what I do for Hyperdrive).

Okay so I recently decided to to upgrade to the 4.4.2 KitKat root through this video http://youtu.be/AIRoQKTLeJQ and I was running the stock deodexed rom that was provided. I then looked up some compatible custom roms and came across several that were supposedly compatible with NC5 and Safestrap 3.72. However, on most of them (Echoe Rom, Bajarom, Phoenix Rom, etc) the wifi does not turn on even after rebooting. Bajarom it would work (it would take FOREVER to turn on though) until after I restored my nandroid backup (just data) from before I upgraded to 4.4.2 via the video. Then the wifi function would stop... Echoe Rom and Phoenix Rom both had a Galaxy S5 port that had S5 apps, themes, etc. These ones wouldn't have any network access at all. WiFi and 4G would not work. I would still have a signal so I could send texts and call people. I tried flashing modules and modems and NC5 fixes but nothing would work... Does anybody know how to fix this WiFi problem?? Or does anybody know of a good, clean, custom TouchWiz rom that has working wifi? This would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hyperdrive is excellent. I Love it. The link and everything you will need to know can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724 I have tried other ROM's also, Baja, GruesomeWolf, just to name a couple and I have found Hyperdrive to be the most stable.
Hey friends,
heard a few might have some wifi issues with OC1 or want the modules for safestrap (this should fix the WiFi issues from muniz's broken 1st release OC1 and save you the trouble of downloading again) and will allow support of wifi or fix it if broken in almost any 5.0 TW ROM you use in the future.
Here is my WiFi fix for OC1 ROMs for Safestrappers / non MDKers (updates HLOS)
before you ask yes you can flash this in Flashfire. However I'd recommended waiting to use this great app until some bugs are worked out and its more stable. I'd continue to use Safestrap right now as that is what I will be using for future ROM releases.
Here is my NK1 WiFi Fix in case you're looking for it.
and the infamous NC2 WiFi Fix
NC5 WiFi Fix
NG6 WiFi Fix
Gigilie-do you have a fix for MDK users of the stock modded OC1 kernel in Muniz's stock rooted OC1 thread? Can't turn on Wi-Fi when the stock kernel available in that thread is flashed.

I was just wondering. This is if you can't turn wifi on right? Are there other issues? I can turn wifi on but it weakens after a few minutes and I have to turn it off and back on to get it working right. Will this fix that?

it might. this flashes your modem, HLOS and modules. Normally if your WiFi isnt working and your on Safestrap its because one of these 3 has been left behind or doesnt match the other 2 anymore.

I dont officially however you can try grabbing the newest OC WiFi zip open it on PC and delete the nhlos .bin and you wont have any risk and it very well could fix WiFi. Let me know if it does and I'll post the MDK zip for all then Otherwise your probably looking at a need for a custom 5.0tw kernel with modules in the zip package.
