I don't know if it's true, but there's certainly cause for concern.

I extracted the zip file on PC and sent to device ext sd card. Zip file about 1.3Gb and extracted .tar.MD5 is 2.11Gb.
Can Andrewtst confirm your extracted .tar file size pls?. 
Like u say could be an incomplete extraction. Will just put zip into Mobile Odin tonight & reflash.
Thx bro for your feedback. 

He doesn't managed to make full extraction..hence the modem excluded. I believe he only manage to extract recovery..kernel and system..lolz

play store download zaza remote... the best i can found... others cannot find my air-cond here... york and panasonic... 

Or you can try put your previous  .tar.md5 files into MobileOdin again and see if it fill in your modem section.

Or better still..at MobileOdin..click at modem#2 section and see if it can be fill by your previous  .tar.md5 files. If can..just flash that modem#2 only. No need to reflash the whole firmware again.

Possible.
Mine is only 2.10GB, yours one more big, hmm...

Better let the Mobile Odin Pro check the .md5 before proceed.

** and I think I know your XDA name already.    

Noooo~i just root it with kingo yesterday....nooooo

The only file size i see is 2.11Gb ( the whole extracted .tar file ) & can be place in Modem#2.
Is this the one?

Since it can fill the modem#2 section then you can just flash the modem only.
After that see if your CP change to MJ7 or still at MJ4.

I had the same problem too. What I did was restart the phone while connected to the laptop and then let windows search and install the drivers automatically. These took about 2 hours because my internet is slow maybe but as long as laptop can detect I'm happy already.

I forgot to mention I tried installing from Helium drivers, KIES but everything just does not work before that.

Just flashed. Still the same MJ4. Lolz 

Haha! Did you make any changes before flash? I only open the tar and flash. Didn't touch any.

Maybe you should re-download the ROM. Hehe

gone la you all! use la china app samo la! use samo la! tell d china apps are suspicious! muahahaha 

say bye bye to your IMEI 

Actually what can they really do with your imei? In the days of analog phones they could clone it but current gsm security is good enough to detect duplicates.

Its like looking up a public directory and finding Wong Fei Hung has a phone number...  so?

But of coz it's the other unknown stuff that vroot and kingo do that is of concern.

Rooted my N3 with kingo last night and 1st thing i do is install Xposed.
search well it have it

Then this morning read about the kingo issues
