Ok so I'm on the NJ3 modem and I flashed this rom. Was having problems, WiFi wasn't working and permissions problems. Flashed ktoonz kernel and now wifi is working and permissions working.
It was stuck at 3% even when off. The cable just went bad. It was just kinda weird because it happened at the same time as some other issues. But it's charging again. Sadly somebody at Thanksgiving dinner mixed up and stole my original Samsung charger, which sucks.

Can you root on the NJ3 baseband? If there's a signal improvement with NJ3 and I can root it that would be great. I'm in somewhat of a dead spot in the bottom floor of my house; I lose LTE in and around my house. It comes back after less than half a block. Pretty frustrating.
that's cool the kernel worked - so you were stock unrooted and took the OTA to NJ3 then flashed this ROM ?
from my VM SGS3 - jdsingle76's rooted 4.4.2 NDC - stock kernel (for now ?) ?
I tried ktoonez kernel and I lose data and WiFi -
from my VM SGS3 - jdsingle76's rooted 4.4.2 NDC - stock kernel (for now ?) ?
JD, you've helped me before, I'm hoping you can help me again.
Can I use this to return to stock? Flash the NDC Modem, then flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53194487#post53194487, and will I be back on stock?

I just realized I have it freaking backwards. Flash the second thing first [FULL RESTORE][TAR] Stock NDC Odin FLASHABLE [4.4.2] [BOOST/VM] and THEN the modem? Do I even need to flash the modem?
The modem is already in the full stock tar.
So no, you don't need to flash the modem.
Sorry, I've been out of the loop for awhile. Did you get everything working ok @strangelady? If so, thanks @MadHat and to everyone helping keep things rolling in here!Good because it all came up roses so I didn't think I would need to! Ahhh this is so good my phone is working again.
--I don't think I could have flashed the modem anyway? Or I could have, but I couldn't guess what could go wrong doing that. Once it came back up it told me I had a System Update (which I received) and it put me back on NJ3. Now I would just like to root it and get my backups from TB.
--I should clarify that I know how to do all the rest hahahahaaaa I never want to do this again. My S3 is such a perfect phone, I don't know what I was thinking. Or, uh, I WAS thinking that "I've had it a year and I'm probably going to get a new phone soon so LET'S PLAY". It isn't like my Triumph or Evo V or even the S2. It's precious to me. I've learned my lesson. I hope you never see me again in these forums but I am oh so sorry if you do (you probably will I can't resist playing with my phones)

Yes, I did! Thank you for checking in!Sorry, I've been out of the loop for awhile. Did you get everything working ok @strangelady? If so, thanks @MadHat and to everyone helping keep things rolling in here!
awesome work JD, I don't post a lot because I do a lot of reading and I find I do not usually have to post because if you do your research everything is covered. But this one has me concerned as it seems a little out of my league. I do not think I am a noob but, not far past. I have a galaxy s3 I rooted it myself and I'm running 4.3., I noticed you mentioned Odin and flashing my custom recovery, I am already running clockworkmod do I have to use Odin? Can't I just flash that car and then the zip using the custom recovery I already have? It's business as usual right? Just flash those items in the order and then the new modem and I'm good to go? And if I have to revert back to back up will I be able to do that? Will I be able to revert back to 4.3? Just a little nervous and thank you for all of your hard work and answering my question in advance. I love the work you guys do and I think it's awesome everyone in this community stick together and help each other. Anyways I will lay back in the bushes and patiently watch for a response!
When I installed the NDC rom on my VM GS3 it disables the WiFi, when I installed the ND8 version everything works but since its on Sprint I get no data. Suggestions?

STOP!!! PLEASE READ!!! Before you flash this zip file in recovery, you MUST FIRST flash either the NDC tar(see below for link),
or the ND8 tar, in order to obtain the KK bootloader and modem. If you flash this directly over JellyBean bootloader, you WILL brick!!
Alright folks, here we go again. Just as the title says, this is the NDC 4.4.2 Kit Kat update for Boost/VM in flashable zip.
Stock, rooted, busybox, zipaligned, odex or deodex. That’s it. Pretty basic. More to come in the future, but this should be enough
to keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!
Notes: PLEASE READ!
Thanks:1. In order for this to work, you need to flash the NDC tar first! Flashing the tar will/should not wipe your data.
2. And yes, NDC tar does come with Knox, so if you flash the tar, you have Knox. And if you flash CWM via Odin to flash this,
it WILL trip Knox, thus voiding your warranty.
3. This MAY cause you to lose your modem, but not to fear, we got you covered.
Download Links:Google, Samsung, XDA – For obvious reasons
@JustArchi – For the Kitchen
@Phil3759 - For your awesome recovery
@Agent4834 – For catching the tar ball in Kies
@Chainfire – SuperSU and everything else you do and continue to do. You’re a magician.
@CNexus – For being there to bounce ideas off of, keeping me out of trouble!
@tdunham - For being a great sounding board and resource! So glad you’re on the S5 now!
@moonknightus- - For the modem. Good looking out brother.

Issues:
1. Kills Modem - Solved, just flash the modem in the link!
2. Conflicts with the "MobileZone," whatever that is - Solved - See Post #2
3. This is an early run, so there may be hiccups. You tell me!
Flash it in a custom recovery like Philz or TWRP or see if there is a tar file inside the zip.How do i flash the modem? It is not a tar file or anything. Odin won't see the file for the modem..
Please someone respond asap i can't get any signal from towers due to the modem not working..
Thanks
Hi there I am having a issue with getting the modem to work. I had to roll back to version 4.3. I am wondering if the issue with the modem not working is because the phone is a Tir-Band SHP-L710 L710TVPU0AOH1. I have read just about all of the post related to the modem issue and did not see any post with a fix for the Tri-Band phone. Has anyone out there run into this problem and got it fixed? By the way the phone was originally on 4.2.2 and in my infinite wisdom I decided try and update to Lollipop 5.0. When I tried to restore my backup the phone just boots and all the apps force closes. I guess that TWRP backup is corrupted. One more thing the NDC "L710VPUCNDC_L710SPTCNDC_L710VPUCNDC_HOME.tar" update fails in Odin for some reason.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for whatever you do with your phone. Please flash at your own risk!Flashing Instructions: (After flashing the NDC tar)
1. Download the ROM of your choice to your phone.
2. Download the modem to your phone.
3. Flash your latest TWRP, CWM, Philz, recovery, whatever you are using through Odin.
I personally use Philz, exclusively. Found Here
4. Reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik
5. Flash rom, takes a few minutes
6. Flash modem.
7. Reboot
8. Profit
Im VM but already flashed ND8. Working perfect so far and I dont mind the sprint labels as I used to be a sprint user before. Will the NDC be any better for my phone?
