This is a recovery flashable, stock boot.img, pulled from freeza's stock rooted rom, located here. It's completely unchanged from stock, I just made it flashable. After flashing, You may, or may not have to modify your build.prop to set secure storage to "false." See freeza's thread here, for more info on this.
Use this at your own risk, I assume no responsibility.

Numerous, for example, it will allow you to return to the stock kernel, for troubleshooting purposes, if you expect an incompatibility, or issue with a custom kernel, without having to flash an entire stock rooted rom, or downloading an entire rom, just for the boot image.
By the way I want to thank you for this its a blessing we have ppl who do this for us with that said im a noob should I flash this I have the nh7 modem I flashed the nh7 stockish rom then I restored my backup for sacs moar rom
i flashed the baseband/modem and that loaded fine. i then tried to flash the kernel and get stuck in a boot loop even after i tried the file to set to false. what can i be doing wrong?

Can you provide more info. If you were in a bootloop, how did you set the file to false? Did you flash the fix, in freeza's OP? If so, that's likely the problem. That build.prop is for a previous version.
I did flash the fix. How else can I get the new modem flashed without bootlooping? My modem/baseband is NH7. Just can get the NH7 stock kernel on without looping

I'm not sure what the issue is, I haven't run into this yet. To be absolutely clear, are you flashing the wifi/secure storage fix, from freeza's thread?
Yes as I read it would fix the boot loop. I tried without it and had no luck either.

That's the problem. That fix is fo MJ4. Also, what rom are you on? I'm not sure if the NH7 kernel, is compatible with NC5 roms. I know for a fact, NC5 kernels, are incompatible with NH7 roms (no display).
Your best bet is to Odin the NC7 tar, if you want all NC7, or Odin NC7, and restore your TWRP backup, of your previous rom. Your baseband, will be NH7, but your kernel will be whatever was included in your previous/preferred rom.
I'm on sacs rom. My baseband/modem is currently NH7 and have no problems
Im also on sacs rom and nh7 kernel want make it past samsung screen just a heads up keep a updates back up before trying this

I don't know if it works in Odin cause I haven't tried it, but there is a link somewhere in the Skynote port ROM thread that has the modem as a zip flashable in recovery. It DOES work as I am on MJ9 on Paranoid Android 4.4.2.

Well from "Krowley3's" Sophisticated ROM thread, you can flash it via ODIN with this file: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198557

No problem. Try flashing it then. I'm sure it should work.
Well I ended up flashing the file...the first time was through TWRP and it didnt change anything. The next time I tried through ODIN and it gave me an "unknown baseband" that a lot of people are reporting. I ended up with no data, had to flash back to stock and start all over again using vramc3.
Numzi, how did you get it working on your phone?

Backstory:
So last night my phone turned off by itself and wouldn't turn back on. My first thought it something with the ROM. So I boot to recovery and start a backup before I try to wipe/format etc. Long story short, it ended up being the battery just ate sh*t. So I got a new battery from Verizon, after I tried to ODIN back to stock though...
Problem:
I was on Hyperdrive RLS15, and I tried to Odin open1your1eyes MDK NoWipe. But my phone is just hanging on the Verizon screen. (it has been over half hr) My phone is MDK base (no safestrap), is that the right thing to flash? Is there anything else I have to do?
Thanks in advance, and forgive my naiveness. :silly:

You're going to want to keep your bootloader MDK. With MDK you an flash any ROM you want, AOSP , AOKP , CM , TW..... 4.3...4.4 you name it.
If you updated to MK2 base you'd take away your options. You'd only be able to flash TW ROMs that are based on whatever build your phone is ...MK2 is 4.3 . And your only recovery would be SafeStrap. Not TWRP or CWM
How did end up with HD15 ? Flashed in recovery right? You can find any number of ROMs on these forums that are based off of MK2 or MJ7 and just flash them in recovery.

Gotcha. Yes recovery. HD says it's MK2 based, but my phone build still says MDK in the About screen. That's why I was wondering. Come to think of it though, doesn't that just display the Modem version (which is recovery flashable), correct?

Yes. MDK is your bootloader/Build and MK2 would be your baseband/modem.
Grab this app and it will show you everything https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
And Surge has a thread on here of all our modems which are flashable through recovery although your probably good to stick with MK2 for now.

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.

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!

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).

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.
Just so there no confusion, I'm using a previous thread to keep the litter at a minimum.
Is this possible? If I understand correctly, the locked bootloader prevents us from flashing a custom recovery and a custom kernal and cm11 and similar roms all run custom kernal. .is it possible to flash the rom and then boot into download mode and Odin a stock kernal or would it be incompatible with the rom? Any help would be appreciated. I really want cm11, aokp, aosp or something of the sort. The Google rom just isn't for me.
