I'm having incredibly bad battery power using wicked x v6.2 on my sph-L710
heres a picture. Before that when i was running on the rooted version of 4.4.2 i also had bad battery life, I was wondering if i could go back to boost 4.3 using the mk5_stock deodexed through odin. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

You can, however, download a rom zip for 4.3 and flash that through your custom recovery. Like jds boost TW 4.3. Perfectly safe but if you try using odin to go back, it flashes the older bootloader, you'll brick.
 
You can also try using greenify. It forces apps you aren't using to hibernate until you use them stopping them from using battery life to run in the background.

No problem man. Hope you find a rom that works for you. A rom won't ruin your battery but it can drain it faster. If all roms you try do it you might want to look at a new battery.

Might have also been a bad download or flash session. You could try downloading your rom again and doing a clean flash. Sometimes a flash goes wrong and screws things up.

I could be wrong but I thought somebody said you cannot switch to a different modem it will not work you have to use the one that came with the update for everything. Again like I said I could be wrong
 
I read ^this also. You are stuck with the ND8 modem now. Be very careful flashing modems on a knoxed phone. Lots of bricks on xda from people flashing nd8 modem by itself. I think they were running the MK3 and MK5 boot loader and tried flashing ND8 modem. Since you already have the ND8 boot loader you should be fine.

Cnexus had to pull the download.

You can use odin to move forward. Just not back. You're safe using any custom roms but like I stated earlier using odin to go backwards will brick your phone. Flashing a rom doesn't include the bootloader or modem so it's safe.
