Hi Guys,
Im running Hyperdrive RLS15 on my S4. Its got safestrap 3.71 and baseband version MK2.
Id like to upgrade my baseband version. I see that NC1 is available here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2720163 , but I cant figure out how to get up to the minimum baseband version to be able to complete the steps in that thread.
I'd like to get my stuff upgraded so I can go up a android 4.4 rom.
Could you guys point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Currently I'm running SS 3.05, I'm looking to update to the latest version 3.11.
Can someone detail the upgrade process? Is it possible to keep the ROM I have installed in SLOT-1?
Managed to update it, not sure if I did it the right way, but everything seems to work!
hey, i've learned recently (i think) that i can flash the TW based version of Eclipse ROM on my Verizon GS4 with MI1 firmware. am i correct? if i am, can someone send me the download link to this particular ROM and make sure it works with MI1 and how to flash it? thanks, any help is greatly appreciated
Hi- I meant to post this in the sprint section. can't seem to delete this post..
Greetings,
The first week or so S4 was out I had gotten one and rooted it. Not very long after that a 'System update downloaded - touch to install' has been on my phone. Many many months later I have decided to finally ask if it is OK to go ahead and update my system and if not to the latest update, then to which? And if I can let my phone automatically do it or if I need to be careful.
I'm afraid I don't remember how I rooted my phone. It was a 1-click exe I believe.
Here is some information that may help.
Android ver: 4.2.2
kernal ver: 3.40- Sat apr 27 2013
software ver: L720VPUAMDL
Hardware Ver: L720.08
Please let me know if you need more information to help me.
Thanks!
You could update, but you will probably lose root so you will meed to root again.
But, if I were you I would stay on 4.2.2 and just get custom roms to get 4.3 or 4.4.
When you get the official 4.3 on the s4, you still can get root and custom recovery though limited options.
Safestrap recovery is the only custom recovery so far and this recovery can get you 1 or 2 custom roms that are TW based.
Basically, aosp roms are out of the picture. Also going back is impossible!!!! so no more 4.2.2 or 4.4 custom roms that
you might want.
If you still want to update and receive 4.3, go ahead.
This is the the new 1-click root method.

Is there a way to upgrade my safestrap to 3.7? I am on ME7. I am trying to install Hyperdrive and with no luck has this happened. I tried version 16.1 and realized that was for kit kat. then 10.1 and it still did not work.
Is there any possible way for ME7 to get upgraded to kit kat and keep root? i keep seeing pages where 4.3 can get upgraded but nowhere with 4.2.2
Please read the stickie in this forum concerning everything you need to know .....gives links and info ...

Safestrap 3.71 is fully functional on the SCH-i545 on Jelly Bean (Android 4.3).
There is no Safestrap release for Android 4.4 (Kit Kat) unless you use the 3.72 release from the AT&T phone. That's known to not work properly on the Verizon phones, but several people have managed to use it to support a 4.4 upgrade while retaining root. Those are complex upgrade processes that require people to carefully follow the upgrade process. There's apparently a large number of people who can't manage that process successfully.
Read the several MK2-to-NC5 upgrade threads. Decide if you can be disciplined enough to follow those processes precisely. If not, wait for a native NC5 root technique.
I545VRUFNK4 ..... can't find info which way to root?
Hi
My phone has downloaded lollipop (5.0) but I haven't installed it yet. I have seen it mess up some phones already. I have android 4.4.2 with baseband I545VRUFNK4 and kernel 3.4.0 build # KOT49H.I545VRUFNK4
Can I still use the safestrap that is designed to be used with NC5 Base?
I usually am able to find such information... but was unable
Thanks in advance for help.
So, you're on NK4 atm? I believe that was the mini update in between NC1 and OC1 (lolipop). This post tells you how to root NK1. If you plan to go to either of the lollipop builds (OC1 or OF1) use this post for OC1 and this post for OF1. don't use safestrap fro lolipop builds, they don't work with them. use flashfire in the posts.
Thanks for your help.
I could have sworn I searched for *NK4*
maybe I didn't have right settings... or maybe the search engine is lousy.
thanks again
