[Q] Galaxy S4 Root. Help Needed!

Hey. I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 and I rooted it a while back. When I rooted it, it was on the MDL firmware. Eventually, I wanted to return to stock, so I used Odin to flash the MF3 firmware on it, little did I know, AT&T made it nearly impossible to root with this new firmware. Now, the phone is working running the stock firmware, but I get some weird bugs and also the Samsung Custom splash screen still shows up when I boot it up and not the Galaxy S4 splash screen. Is there any way to fix this? Would using that tedious new way to root the MF3 firmware help at all?

[Q] kit kat upgrades nc2 or nc5

Have rooted different phones many times, but keeping up with all the different builds is getting hard and what is possible. Recently on my Galaxy S4 went from the original MK2 build and rooted it and went to the sneaked NC2 build, Was going to go to the NC5 build and or put hyper drive on it, but the question that I have is, once a phone has rooted and NC2 installed, Does all future roms relate to the latest update . For instance if I install hyperdrive on my galaxy s4. Do I consider it a Nc2 build or the original mk2 build? I ask this because it seams everything reverts back to the original locked boot loader from when the phone came new from the factory, I get confused when you follow the instructions to install a different rom and its stated that this rom is for the mk2 when in fact my phone is now a nc2. I ultimately want to get the hyperdrive installed on my phone that is a nc2 that was upgraded from mk2

[Q] Fixing the modem in a TWRP Recovery, Rooted Stock 4.4.4 Sprint Galaxy Note 3

I know 100% for fact that the phone is Spark enabled. I did a stock update to Lollipop once and had great Spark signal on my device. I hate Lollipop and my apps that require root access do not function on Lollipop.
I am wondering what I need to do in order to access Spark LTE again. I am using a 4.4.4 stock rom that is rooted via TWRP and Super SU. I don't recall exact versions and such as I have been using the same stock rom for a year now.
I recently retried 5.0/5.1 and my rooted apps still have issues, so I do not want to use Lollipop.
Is there a modem file I need to change to be able to get Sprint Spark? I had it before also on 4.4 when the phone was 100% stock and I did the official update to 4.4 from 4.2 or 4.3(been a year).
The phone was bought out, no longer under warranty as of November, and Knox already tripped so I don't care about any of that. The phone was manufactured Sept/Oct 2014 if that helps.
Any suggestions?

i dont know specifically how to fix your issue, but im betting if you look in your devices general forum, you will find a thread with all the available modems. you may have to try a couple until you figure out which one is correct for your version, if its not noted.
