[Q] Update fto MJ7 firmware with MOP?

Hi all, I'm new to the forums (and Android), so I hope this doesn't anger to the point of spontaneous combustion.... anyway, i'm on the N900V with stock MI9 firmware; rooted with RDLV.
I was wanting to upgrade to MJ7 firmware, and read in the N9005 forums that you can do this with mobile Odin and keep the old bootloader.
Has anyone tried this for the N900V? Or do you know if it could/will work the same?
If not, is there any other way I can update to MJ7 firmware and keep the older bootloader?
please and thanks in advance.

According to the Mobile odin app page I am not sure if the Verizon note 3 is working. Says 9005 and didn't have n900 listed.

4.4.2 modem old bootloader

Hi guys,
Can I flash NA2 (4.4.2 modem) on the old bootloader? or I need to stay on 4.4.2 firmware?

Good question, I doubt it, as flashing radios can lead to bad things.
I wouldn't try it in all honesty

It's risky and not recommended. Apart from whether it would work well, you could brick your phone. Which can be difficult and ocassionally, not possible to recover from.
There simply isn't a lot of reliable information about flashing firmware from other variants.
I won't encourage you to do it, but I would speculate that it's possible. That NFC and a few other things would stop working and that it would be a pointless exercise. You'd also run a moderate risk of bricking your phone. You could reduce that by only flashing the ROM, not the kernel or modem. And in particular if you find the appropriate 900F PIT file and flashed it concurrently.
No warranties, guarantees or anything else. If you proceed, don't say that you weren't warned.
What stands out though is that you omitted a crucial and highly relevant datum. Why? What are you hoping to achieve in doing this?

No you cant. Its like trying to install to install XP windows program on W8

What's on the stock F firmware that's not on the stock W8 that you need ? If you flash a ROM your Basebaband will stay W8 but your phone version will change. Right now i am using XtreStoLite, my model shows a G900T, my baseband is still a W8 ( i'm in Montreal ) and the SE status is enforcing a 900F.

So you flashed a G900T over a G900W8?
My case its a G900W8 (Rogers) and a just want a Multi-CSC option, because I`m live in Brazil and want use the ZTO CSC (for Portuguese, etc). My question: The rom needs be specific to support W8 variant or a 900F can be flashed over TWRP ?
I tested with CM12.1 Nightly, works well, not specific. Just KLTE version. My desite is just a stock version with multilanguage support To my dad usage.

Installing a g900f build on a g900h is the best way to obtain a very expensive paper weight.

No you definitely cannot!
even though its only one letter difference, you may as well install an S4 firmware on an S5 for how incompatible the roms are.

Okk Thanks Bro...For Your Advice .

What is the reason that I should flash Poland? Because I have already downloaded the UK version .
And is it safe to flash
