Been up all night trying to unlock my GS4 but I am unable to find a good MDC tar file. The ones that I download odin will not take them does anybody have a good link that still works ? I am trying to get this phone unlock for tmobile use.
hello sir. So ive followed everything from beginning to end and just cant just quite get it. I started with a stock sph-l720 ng2 build. Odin flash auto root. Flashed mdc modem. Int'l unlocked just fine. Set back to mtp+adb in diag. And then when i follow the rest of the steps i cant seem to get it. Steps 9 and 11 is where i get thrown off and someone else is saying dont do the build.prop lines. So now im just all mixed up. Please help im losing it. Been here all day trying to get it. Id appreciate it.
My device was already unlocked for international use by sprint, does that make any difference?
Do people not read? You cannot downgrade your software after you have Knox which I am 90% sure you have. To do the unlock you only have to downgrade the MODEM which is able to be downgraded with Knox. That file is in the OP.<ID:0/009> Removed!!

I cannot seem to flash the rom via Odin. Can someone help please?
It gives me a SW REV error
Have to use the app from here: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/general/sprint-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250 for international unlock. If you need to use it domestically, then you will need to install the MK5 modem and then follow the steps from this thread. It seems to work fine with ATT and ATT based networks (Cricket, Straight Talk, etc) but not so much for T-Mobile.
Hi i tried looking all over to find how to downgrade to MK5 but no luck, do u think u, or anyone else for that matter, could link me to a guide on downgrading to MK5 for the l720t, as well as the proper odin tool? id appreciate it very much
The MK5 file I found was in bin format. So, you need to:
Boot the phone into Download Mode
Open Odin as Admin (Odin 3.07, 3.09, 3.10, any of those will work)
Put the modem.bin in the Phone or CP slot, depending on which version of Odin you are using.
Plug in the phone and make sure Odin recognizes it and hit start.
Once it reboots, verify that it took by going to Settings / About Phone
That's it. Just make sure you don't check off repartition for some reason. It will be disabled by default. F.Reset.Time and Auto Reboot checked off is fine.

Thank you so much! and after this process would i be able to use boost mobile on it?
No. Boost is CDMA and does not use SIM cards as their main connection to the cell towers.
No, not at all. Sounds like you might want to do some more research before you start modding your phone.so would i be able to use boost without even having to do this process?
Jesus people read before you unlock. You cannot get LTE on ATT or T-Mobile on the Sprint GS4. The bands are not supported.Ok so I got my phone to work on T-mobile but I am not getting lte on the phone or data. Also my sprint number is still stored with that phone because when I insert a tmobile sim card and the phone it says voicemail, so i think that means I wont be able to get my T-mobile voicemail on that phone. Is there a way to remove my sprint number feom the unlocked phone?

3) i went to the dialer and typed *##0011# which brought me to the "service mode" menu.
5) Select CDMA, then 1.COMMON, press next page until page three of COMMON and select 8.PREF MODE SET and selet GSM_WCDMA_ONLY
