Did you try to flash the Telstra rom or the XSA rom?
I found flashing Telstra's rom doesn't seem to work...
Also, what version of firmware were you trying to flash?
You can't flash an MI7 rom on an MJ7 bootloader. Just goes into a bootloop... If by some miracle you get to android then usually wifi and phone WONT work. You need MJ7 (or higher) rom on MJ7 bootloader...
Make sure reactivation lock is OFF... You can end up with a brick otherwise..
thanks

- 1st, you cannot flash MJ7 over MJ9. Choose a higher firmware (e.g MK1, MK2, ML1, ML2...) to flash over MJ7.
- 2nd, donot flash carrier's firmware (vodafone). Choose unbrand firmware.

sorry for this basic Q,
when you say MJ7 / MK1, do you read the PDA, CSC or MODEM

Not exactly PDA nor CSC nor MODEM... It is the Bootloader version, as you cannot overwrite a bootloader by the older one.
However the firmware usually comes with the "same version" for both the PDA and the bootloader. So in general you can also said it is the PDA version.
MK1. So I need to flash like MK2 and above

The phone is hongkong TGY MK1. I LIVE IN australia

So far tried multiple roms but unsuccessful although it said PDA MK1 OR MK2. BUT I noticed that theses roms modems are mainly MJ7 and my current one is MJ9.
That may be the reason?
If any one is lucky and was successful in flashing any rom over the honkong TGY one please help me.

That's right, but try to root it.... You now have the new bootloaders that trip when you root, and if something goes wrong forget using Kies 3 to fix as the newest firmware Malaysia has to date is MJ1, the old bootloader.... Welcome to bootloopssville, population - You....

I don't know about the branded version, but I succeeded in flashing MJ6-BTU on my french XEF phone. Root is working - Knox is 0x0.
Universal RDLV is able to create the system.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4 files, but you have to include some other files from the Samsung tar.md5 file or camera and WLAN will be broken. DO NOT include the *.mbn files - DO NOT include the unmodified system.img.ext4 - this would result in Knox 0x1.

Hello do you flash a rdlv version or a non modified one?
The safest way to go up (providing you currently have nothing higher than MJ1), is to create a URDLV Firmware, to keep the old boot loader.
Then flash the modem and NON-HLOS file from the original Samsung tar file.

You flash a RDLV version, but you have to add some additional files from the Samsung firmware. At least you have to add NON-HLOS and modem, but in my case this wasn't enough, so I built a new .tar.md5 file with almost everything. The only files I didn't include were the *.mbn files. System+Cache from the RDLV tar.md5, the rest from the Samsung tar.md5 file.

You will understand how to create your UK MJ7 firmware unbranded and rooted. Don't flash a newer firmware than MJ1 to keep the old bootloader and don't use kingoapp or vroot .... They use an exploit which won't exist anymore when samsung will decide it ! You will be happy to have the old bootloader at this moment ...

Thank you, i understand that it's important tout keep the old bootloader. So my iinterrogation is about i update my mi7 directly to rdlv mj7 or i update first to mj1 and after to mj7.
Bootloader on mi7 and mj1 is the same?

Hello,
i'm not sure what you want exactly. If i understand your phone is XME and you want BTU ? So if you flash a rom from sammobile with multi-csc your phone rest on XME. You need to flash BTU exclusive one ( i think, ask for confirmation ).
But before flash you need to know if you want root after or customise, because of knox warrantly and new bootloader you can't do this is you don't do the right thing.
You can read this also :

2.when i am flashing a rom will my device remains as sim free/region unlocked?
Hi there,
1. MJ7 is simply the last few characters of the firmware version of that ROM. To check your firmware version, it should be in Settings > About Phone and it will show your firmware somewhere.
2. Yes your device will stay region unlocked

You're fine to flash the ROM. ROMs that show any different firmware to yours simply mean that once you flash the ROM, you're firmware will change to the ROMs firmware. Just be sure to carefully read everything in the first post of the ROM thread so that you're a bit more confident with flashing the ROM and understanding the whole process

The update process should be flawless. If you want, you can also flash polish firmware and have kit kat today, then you can flash a rom like X-Note 10. But if you just want to stay stock rooted, use ODIN to flash stock firmware and re-root afterwards

It's the same phone! The bootloader has nothing to do with anything, its only relevant when we talk about upgrading and downgrading. The guy just wants to upgrade to KK, he can go in xnote thread and there are instructions for the upgrade, and in case you didnt know, xnote is designed for 9005 and W8 is not officially supported, so next time you try to open your little piehole, do your research first

1- Could you point out why you didn't like this modem? Any problem or disadvantage?
From the end user's point of view, I think it is hard to distinguish between modem versions.
2- You can download firmware from sammobile, extract it to get modem.bin file and NON-HLOS.bin file to flash.
3- To get the latest firmware for your device, you can install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, then open 'Firmware Browser' menu.

Best Modem for me is the NF2 on NG2 Firmware
Hi all,
thanks for the answers.
I don't like this modem because it never goes in 4G (I have TIM) and often when I try to call it says "Not registered on the network", expecially when I end a call and I try immediately to do another call.
I don't want to change ROM because I need to root/unroot often to use SkyGo, so I need a ROM that can be rooted easily.
So if I understood well :
the best modem is NG2. Also for my ROM?
I need to use Odin to flash modem. Does it change Knox value?
I need to extract from the ROM, modem.bin file and NON-HLOS.bin. Where do I have to put in Odin to flash it?
