THANKS To Unknownforce, Sac23, Phil3759, runwithme, cmonsterf50, fgr, tallblazer124 and Chainfire!
For Lock Screen FIX Only Skip to Bottom of OP. You can Also Skip Flashing MK2 if you decide to do it this way.
This HOW TO will help you update your Sprint S4 to Stock Rooted NAE including NAE modem while keeping the MF9 bootloader.
MDC, MDL, MF9, MJA, MK2 and NAE are versions of the stock OS released by Samsung. MDC was first then MDL, MF9, MJA,MK2 and now NAE.
The recent MJA/MK2/NAE update was major in terms of firmware in that Knox was incorporated. (firmware on the GS4 is the bootloader, recovery and modem/radio. the ROM is the OS) Currently, once you update to the new MJA, MK2 or NAE bootloader you can't go back.
Why would you go back? Well Knox is a pain in the a$$ and trips the flash counter in the bootloader, which will most likely void your warranty. For crack flashers this is a nightmare.
Right now staying on the MF9 bootloader and flashing the stock NAE Rooted ROM from Unknownforce gives you no lock screen security settings. I have found a workaround that lets you keep the MF9 BL and flash the NAE Rooted ROM with lock screen security working. To go any further you must have NOT accepted the latest OTA and are still on MF9 Bootloader.
I am not responsible for anything happening to your phone. Proceed at your own risk. Basic knowledge in flashing via Odin and custom recoveries is required. If you follow this guide word for word you will not have any issues. Read entire post and download all files needed before starting.
ALL FILES Needed:
Odin 3.07(Other versions may work. This is what I use): http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421&d=1341114315

How To Video: thanks wwjoshdew!

Step 1 Update modem and firmware to NAE
Download NAE modem and NAE firmware (with knox removed) thanks to Unknownforce (be sure to unzip before use)
Follow his instructions for installation from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919
Step 2: Install Philz Recovery
Download Philz recovery version 6.08.9 MD5 (last one I tested)
Turn off your S4. Wait for a full power down. Boot into download mode (hold power and volume down, then volume up) Connect USB cable and boot Odin.
Using Odin v3.07 flash Philz Advanced CWM recovery in PDA mode with AUTO REBOOT UNCHECKED. When it says RESET hold the power button, and as soon as the device turns off hold volume up to boot into the new recovery.
Step 3: NAE ROM Install and Workaround for Lock Screen Security Settings
1. Back up Apps with Titanium Backup
2. Boot into Philz Recovery
3. Factory Reset>Wipe to install a new ROM
4. Install the Stock MK2 Odex Rom
5. Boot the Stock MK2 ROM. I did not set up any of my google accounts nor wifi, I just skipped until the pre-setup was finished. I then let the Sprint stuff install.
6. Go to lockscreen settings and set up a pattern or pin lock.
7. Reboot to recovery and wipe System, Cache, Preload and Dalvik Cache. DO NOT WIPE DATA.
8. Install the NAE Stock Rooted Rom from Unknownforce OR Sac23's v3 ROM
9. Reboot and profit.Your lock screen settings should now be functional.
10.Flash SD Card write fix if needed. (most likely you will)
11.(Optional) Install Hotspot mod.
12. Install Busybox and ROM Toolbox from Google Play. Fix permissions In ROM Toolbox go to (Run Script) > (Fix Permissions).
*****Alternate Lock Screen Fix*****
Thanks to @tallblazer124 for this much easier way to get lock screen settings:
Another fix for lock screen which is very quick, is use root explorer or a similar app and edit the buildprop in the system folder.
You can just add # before
security.mdpp=None
in build prop and it will work.
The entry will then look like this
#security.mdpp=None
Then restart your phone and you should have all the lock screen options.
I am now trying to add recovery, but it doesn't work. I tried so many times, it doesn't work for me. I did the 3x , plus the battery pull. I also tried both recovery, still it didn't stick. I will just wait.

Try this. After you flash a custom recovery, instead of doing the battery pull right away, hold down the power button until the device turns off. Then do your USB cable pull and battery pull. I had to do this for a friends S4.

Congrats man on getting everything with the MDL update.
Since i know a lot of people including myself are having problems getting this to stick, wouldnt it be easy if you could share your rom so the developers could use that as a base since you have everything working .
Just a thought not trying to step into anyones toes or anything. Again congrats on the update
Going to try this after I get off work tomorrow.

Yes. Since it does not include kernel and modem you should be fine. Do nand backup first though

Everything worked flawlessly bro! great job on this post.
I must admit the tricky part is getting the recovery to stick but once that happens the rest is cake! Good looks
Too kool of you to leave your nand backup so some of us who are too lazy, or want to avoid odin can restore your back up!
Now, can I use TWRP to restore or do I have to figure out how to change recovery to CWM?

Not sure. I havn't used TWRP. I'm going to guess and say yes? I guess just try it. If it doesn't work load Shabby's or SexTape's CWM recovery. They are both easy to install if you can follow directions
Worked great, no issues. It all went through the first try for me.
We just have to get this nag permanently fixed

The weird thing is, I have never had an issue with getting recovery to stick. Even after flashing MDC, taking update, then ODIN Shabby Recovery. Dunno why all the fuss. Maybe different versions of ODIN. I'm using 3.07 I think. Great write-up though.
Is it possible to just update the modem without touching anything else?

Flash CWM in current recovery and your good. I (personally) wouldn't try restoring a nand from a different recovery. If there was a newer version of the recovery and you have a backup under and older older version, you should be good. Your still within the same recovery.

Good post. Thanks for the help. I just wanted to clarify that if people restore your nand it won't install the modem. I see you mentioned the modem so just wanted to clear things up in case people tried to do it just to get the modem.

[Recovery] & [Root]【T210R & T210】 CWM Recovery v6.0.4.9.KK [Unofficial]
READ THIS POST BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY
Updated to CWM v6.0.4.9.KK on 9-23-14 to cooperate with KitKat bootloader.
Now with SELinux enabled kernel for flashing roms that require it
Click HERE for the latest version.
Compiled from source.
@ketut.kumajaya has provided us with a kernel for CWM recovery.
Please report any bugs here in this thread.
Please take a moment to say thanks and/or donate to @ketut.kumajaya for helping us out.
Thank you to everyone who has (and still will) help in testing!!!!
Credits go to:
@ketut.kumajaya for getting this initially working (see THIS post)
@Jamison904 for giving us root
@hkjr for getting ketut to help
@k.aibutsu and @Unjustified Dev for there device source work
and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team
@Tomsgt for the video
Link to kernel source https://github.com/kumajaya/android_kernel_samsung_lt02
Watch THIS VIDEO tutorial for a step by step visual guide for performing the instructions listed below (thanks @Tomsgt for the video).
Supplied in 3 formats:
Odin flashable tar.md5 (for first time installation)
Recovery flashable zip (requires a custom recovery to currently be installed)
.img file (for those who use Flashify or other direct methods).
Instructions for Odin: (use the ...tar.md5)
1. Download ODIN to your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash.
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Wait for device to restart. Skip this step if you unchecked auto reboot.
10. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch this video to learn about the navigation issues and Rainbow Mode: http://youtu.be/iCNdxlNzdBI
If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.
It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions for recovery flashable version:
Boot into your previously installed custom recovery.
Select the Install Zip option.
Find the recovery zip.
Flash.
Reboot recovery.
Enjoy your new recovery.
Flash at own risk!!!!

If you are using the recovery in post #1, then you can skip this post. This post contains modified stock recoveries only.
I recommend all T210R users should flash the newest firmware from Sammobile, ( or just use my pre-rooted version located HERE ).
The modified stock recovery zips below contain a recovery.tar.md5 file that can be flashed using ODIN. These will allow only Google test key signed zips to be flashed. There are two versions, one for the T210R and one for the T210 devices. Both versions work on my T210R, so try whichever one you feel is appropriate.

I had to flash it to see if would do on the uk firmware. When i flash on the original, it made kernel panic.
Now i can flash it. Wanna hears something strange? My CSC is still NEE(nordic)
I think this relates also to the bootloader version. I will try to build T210 kernel with LZMA initramfs support so we can create a small recovery image. Blame Samsung/Marvell :laugh:

The modified stock recovery does not work for t210r. It still has navigation errors and flashing a google signed.zip(ex. Universalrootsigned.zip) has error called status 7. The only recovery that can run the signed root even in original firmware is the 2nd recovery posted by ketut.kumajaya.

My results from testing this morning.
I did a factory data reset and then flashed the full US (T210R) firmware to return to completely stock non-rooted status. Then I flashed the T210R modified stock recovery (that I posted here yesterday) and it worked perfectly. I then flashed the new universal root zip provided by @ketut.kumajaya (it did return one error 7 at the end, but still worked) and I was rooted. :good:
I then tried the ketut's new T210R LMZA recovery and it did work, but still had navigation issues. :good:
I then tried ketut's new XZ recovery, but got a kernel panic. :crying:
So, at least for my T210R (with the newest T201R firmware from Sammobile), the recovery in the OP still works perfect.
I look forward to hear more feedback from others users, but for now, I recommend all T210R users should flash the newest firmware from Sammobile, ( or just use my pre-rooted version located HERE ) then give the modified recovery a try.
Here is a stock flashable sprint flex rom for those who might ever need it. It can be used for development purposes or if you simply messed up your phone and need it.
steps to install
1. First download Playfulgods app that installs clockwork mod recovery
2. Download the flashable rom located here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6HYWZRx8JLsRHhPVVhvQko3akU/edit?usp=sharing
3. Boot to recovery by turning phone all the way off and holding down vol + and power until you see a black screen with a symbol and korean writing. You will then see cwm recovery start.
4. scroll to advance
5. click the loki toggle. This will stop the recovery from trying to loki the boot.img and causing an error. The boot.img is already lokied thanks to Playfulgod
6. Install the Rom and let it finish
7. reboot the device.
Very nice work,....

So if loki is enabled in cwm then the rom dev doesn't need to patch the boot.img? or is because it's the stock boot.img?
I'm on T mo but hellz yea to development congrats n thanks! !!

Any headway on a 4.4 Rom? Decided I'll wait for a Rom rather than unroot for the update. It's good to see advances are being made! Good work dude.

If your on sprint variant you can update to kitkat and root it with IOroot25 that's what i did. I'm also waiting for roms but not 4.2.2 roms im waiting for kitkat roms i don't see the point to be hype for JB roms when kitkat is out and as long as you can root kitkat that should be fine to hold you off until roms start popping out.

need recovery to work on kk first b4 you can have roms.
So if I flash this stock Rom will my phone accept the kk update or do I still need to unroot? I read something about needing to unroot but also read you can flash a stock Rom? Confused about the best way to take the kk update. I've just seen some people saying it's best to wait for a kk Rom and others say go ahead and update then root haha
No won't update with custom recovery

Was finally able to download the zip file, is there anyway to get it on my device from Recovery? My Device is stuck in a boot loop but I can get the phone into recovery mode, but I believe the CWM on my device isn't working 100%, I can back up and restore if that helps, but when I restart the system, I get nothing but the LG Boot Logo.
Tried adb sideload, "device not found"
UPDATE: Somehow got sideload to cooperate but keep getting * failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status>' * get this at about 55-60%
Sideload gets to exactly 59% every time, then fails. Can I not sideload this Stock ROM?

only issue so far is that it wont let you install custom ROM's, After flashing a Custom ROM it just reboots back into recovery.
hello
first off cool but i think this needs to go some where else maybe wrong
sorry to be annoying i just dont want u to get yelled at if its in the wrong place

Just don't reboot into recovery from any software.
Turn off the Tab and enter recovery with the 3 keys method (power+volume up+menu) and you will be able to flash anything in recovery and reboot into system.
Just DON'T EVER reboot into recovery using the "reboot into recovery" option on any software including power menu.
I have this issue for a long time, even when I was on 4.1.2 and that is how I got rid of the problem.

But the first time you installed the update you rebooted via software command, right?
If you boot into recovery from off with the three buttoms... you can flash the 4.4.2 and it will load into system.
Just don't reboot into recovery via software command.
Test it.

I did the upgrade on my device no problems GOT ROOT then had issues. After root any changes ie: install zip, backup
The unit would get stuck in recovery mode. Recoveries tried TWRP, PhilZtouch, CWM
SDcard issues were fixed with Nextapp SDfix after root
Anyone having any other issues?

My [ROM] SM-T210R 4.4.2 Kitkat root via UPDATE-SuperSUv1.94.zip
Thanks for your tip I now can install zips without recovery boot loop.:good: That was a major issue with the new Samsung 4.4.2 update.
Next issue I'm working on is boot-animation. Tried [Aroma] boot-animation (no luck), ROM toolbox Pro boot-animation (no luck)
Since trying I now have no boot-animation. Next step I shall try and push the zip to get something..
The new 4.4.2 is very fast otherwise.:good:

Give NoleKat a try... it is based on stock 4.4.2 and it has the kernel fix that brings back the boot animation.
You can find it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=17472 Download V1.8

Did not work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 did not work becouse i cant get into twrp or adb mode. When i power on my g2 it says ''Secure booting Error! '' and goes to a black screen, it mostly useless:crying:
What about fastboot? What we're you doing before you bricked? Did you do a three button salute to drain all of the battery out?
edit: It has a heartbeat (its turns on) so its not hopeless yet.
I dont know about fastboot mode but when i plug my phone into my laptop after the screen goes black it comes up with 15 drives or partitions. I just tried this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 but i did not work.
I was trying to flash CM Mod 11 Nightly in Twrp But ''error executing updater binary'' error came up in the 3 roms i flashed before Cm Mod. Then i restarted my phone and it wouldn't let me go into download mode or twrp, it just said boot certification verify failed. The error in twrp looked like the 2nd photo.
We'll if you can get into twrp then download a stock and flash stock firmware (the base). No backup? There is a stock all thread and I promise you this is fixable.
Edit: what base are you on? Like 12b or 24A

Are you sure you're following the directions from post #1 to the thread I linked you to? It doesn't sound like you are. The system image is bigger than 2GB, so you won't be able to flash it.

Maybe you should tell us what it is you did to fix your phone for the benefit of those that might fall into the same/similar situation. Doesn't have to be step by step, but a quick little summary might be nice.

Your IMG file?
I have been trying for hours and can't get it work. What is IMG file that you used to get it to work for the "[FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2"?
I tried using "xdabbeb_vs98039a_bootstack.zip" and "xdabbeb_vs98012b_bootstack" by extracting it out to get the:
1- sbl1.img
2- aboot.img
3- rpm.img
4- tz.img
5- recovery.img
Thanks!
