Just to let you know.......downloaded twice from this server on my lappy and both files came up corrupted. Can't even open with 7-Zip.

Also, I keep getting a pop-up saying that the download has been interrupted.

Tried a third time and got the same "download has been interrupted" pop-up. After resuming and finishing the download, I looked at the file size and it was 246mb.

Does this work with the MDL baseband as well? I'm seeing MDC in the filename so I want to make sure

So if you're already on MDL modem, have stock rooted ROM, stock kernel, triangle away back to zero and official, using Mobile Odin with this "should" put everything back to factory including putting stock recovery back on? I haven't had the need or time to pull the trigger to test it yet. I'm glad there's finally a stock tar of this. I guess it's just a matter of time before one clicks are made with this and rooted tars. I know this phone is slightly different with flashing than the e4gt. My mind is still stuck on the way things were done with that phone.

I would say that it will. I think even if you have the MDC modem it should upgrade to the MDL version. I'm going to try in a few minutes...almost downloaded. I am wondering if triangle away is even necessary. I'm showing "custom" on my phone so we'll see what happens.

I've already posted on sxtp about getting a one-click. They make things so easy. But at least with this file I can skip the (1) one-click MDC..... (2) wait for OTA upgrade to MDL.

This definitely is different from my E4GT.

BTW , what is that SS_DL.dll file in the zip?

Edit: OK, I just ODIN'd the file. Custom binary now shows Samsung Official and system status is Official. I forgot to check the kernel, but I'm pretty sure it's stock. Also it did flash modem.bin. ODINing this file left all my apps intact. I was expecting it to wipe my internalSD, but apparently it didn't.

Since I wanted to start from a clean slate, I'm now flashing the one-click MDC stock restore and I'll take the OTA and go from there. I'll just have to wait for a one-click rooted restore.

I wonder if the root option in mobile Odin works with stock MDL.

I attempted to root my s4 via motochopper (before finding out that this method does not work) - then I Odin'd the CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.zip and rebooted. (per qbking77 instructions which were ALSO out of date) It installed the SU apk (red pirate android) and once rebooted, SU did not work and root checker told me I was not rooted. At this point I am wanting to remove SU (since it's not working, binaries will not update) and return to "normal". I should Odin the file in this thread for the VPUAMDL, correct?

I follow instructions well, have read a thousand threads about this today (before diving in) and have rooted a dozen phones before this (never an s4) - I have never had a problem, until this happened today. I'm a little irritated because I was relying on the information as CURRENT (because info on rooting and installing custom recovery for the s4 seems to be SPARSE) -

Any help is appreciated,
Thx, Chictek
