Unable to flash MJ4 modem (SOLVED)

I have downloaded the MJ6 firmware for SM-N9005 which includes MJ4 modem.
I extracted modem.bin and put it in a .tar file to flash with Odin, as I have the DjeMBey MJ6 rom but old baseband.
It flashes successfully but my phone shows MI6 baseband still The problem is because "Auto Reboot" is ticked.
The solution to successfully flash MJ4 baseband is as follows:
1) Flash the modem.bin inside a .tar file in Odin under CP (or Phone). UNTICK THE "Auto Reboot" OPTION
2) WAIT UNTIL IT SAYS PASSED
3) Keep phone on, unplug phone, close Odin, plug into different USB port and open Odin again
4) Flash modem.bin inside .tar file again as in step 1
5) WAIT UNTIL IT SAYS PASSED
6) Keep phone on, unplug phone, close Odin, plug into different USB port and open Odin again
7) Flash stock NON-HLOS.bin file from MJ6 firmware in Odin
8) WAIT UNTIL IT SAYS PASSED
9) Take out battery
10) Reinsert battery
11) Profit
I hope this helps some people

Thanks, and modified my original post.

I made a N9005-2modemsMJ4-RomMJ6.tar.md5 whit both modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin.
(2modems means two files to one modem. For me must be flashed always together).
Flashed whit MobileOdin, worked very well. (on MO Chainfire call that modem and modem #2).
PS: By Odin3 I think must be also the same, both 2 files inside the .tar.md5
Hi @danieljamie
Your steps 1) to 11) on OP are horrible, I don't like same work. Sorry.

To unpack and repack I use this tool TAR.MD5 Packager by @A.S._id . Thanks. It's very good.
To unpack the cache.img and the cache.img.ext4 I use THIS by @AdamLange. Thanks.
<cache.img> or <cache.img.ext4>, it's good. (Without < >)

This tool will convert IMG file into TAR.MD5 (Odin flashable) file.

No. For me, the .zip from CacheRipper is only to storage. The META-inf inside is from another device, may be the SII. I never tried to install it.
You unzip and have the CSC directly on a folder system. Usually I copy from this and paste on /system from device.

I have converted the cache.img.ext4 to csc.tar.md5 file, can I just flash the csc.tar.md5 using pc odin on download mode? I will need to place this in the csc box, right? Will it wipe my data when I flash the csc? Appreciate your advice.

Hi. i need help on this topic. I have N9005 having multi csc and defaukt csc set to XSI. I want to change the csc but *272#* is not working on my phone.
so if i manually replace csc files on pc and then repack csc and and flash it using odin, will it trip my knox?
sorry for bad english.

Here is a link to the MK2 tar if that's what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443
Version 3.09 is the latest odin is attached. Load the mk2 tar in the AP slot after extracting the tar file from the zip.

Help Flashing Modem

I am having NO luck flashing the NE2 modem on my G900i, i have tried with Odin V3 and mobile odin.
Odin: I have tried a .tar file and a .bin file, the tar failed but the bin passed but did not take. I even did the flash, pull the battery and flash again trick.
Mobile Odin:
Modem #1 = modem.bin
Modem #2 = Non-Hlos.bin
It booted into recovery but i got the message "Memory Protection in place" on both modems so it wouldn't flash them, then the phone rebooted.
Can anyone help please.

It doesn't work with m/o I try ed it a number of times with no success
