[Q] Flashing Lollipop from different carrier? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
Completely lost track of how the Android scene works while being on iOS for three years. I rooted my Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005) and now won't get updates even though unrooted and flash stock recovery etc. My question is:
Can I flash for example 5.0 Lollipop Vodafone (UK) even though I am with T-Mobile (Hutchison 3G UK)? If yes would there be any issues doing this?
Thanks.

Anything please?

GPe GS4 9505G in Germany t-mobile

Hi, all! this is my first post. After long frustrating hours I decided to ask for SOS.
I just moved from the US to Germany. My GS4 GPe 9505G (from the US) works fine here up to 3G but it will not pick up LTE because here in Germany they use different LTE channels...
Also, I just received the OTA update for 4.4 and everything is good on 4.4 now.
My question is, is there any way to update the "Baseband" /modem to the German i9505 model baseband so that I can use LTE here?
In the past when i tried to update the modem via ODIN, it will not accept it, I can try the Linux way...any HELP will be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thank you all for reading.

mexican n900w8

Hello all,
Although a very experienced flasher and one point of time used to mod roms for symbian I seemed to be kinda confused of the note 3 i just bought.
I have this variant of note 3 n900w8 probably telcel /tigo and i got via ebay. I bought it cause I heard n900w8 is the best modder friendly device out of the available.options and also I plan to use the same in Canada.
As you can see in the attachement its on android 4.3 and I am planning to update kit kat and root it. Since its a mexican variant and I am.moving to Canada should I flash the canadian rogers/bell stock rom or the telcel one? Also should i root before flashing or not?
Incase Canadian firmware would be okay to flash, will the device work with Indian 2g/3g where I am currently at.
Thank you
Bump !! Any one please ??

Read first the threads in General about the W8, specifically those that talk about the "invulnerable" or "friendly" bootloader.

[Q] Debrand Note 4 by flashing stock - what about radio?

Hi
I have a Three UK branded Note 4 and I'm currently using it on Vodafone. I'm looking at flashing the stock firmware for the UK to debrand the device. Does this process change the radios at all?
The reason I ask is because sometimes I'm seeing loss of mobile data that I can only resolve by toggling flight mode. I'm wondering by flashing stock or indeed Vodafone firmware would help this situation.
Thanks
If it's a newer firmware than the one currently on your device, then it will more than likely contain a newer modem firmware too.
Post back how you get on.
I have a Three Note (although also using Three network) was thinking of rooting/flashing to get rid of some Samsung bloat.
flashed my vodafone handset to BTU stock no problems and yes it does debrand the handset in the process. As for radio's just let it update if needs be better to have the correct radio for the rom version.
Did you find any benefits over the Vodafone branded version? Improved battery life for example?

[Q] Seeking Lollipop update on Note 3 after switching from AT&T to T-mobile

Hi, I've been searching for a solution for failed Lollipop update on my AT&T device. I bought my device with AT&T and switched to T-mobile with sim unlock a year later. I'm currently running N900A...NC2 (4.4.2). My device is rooted but i haven't done much after rooting it except removing some bloatware. I'm able to download the OTA update that AT&T is pushing (at least i think its the lollipop update). However, after download the installation fails. I don't know if this is because i'm not with AT&T any longer or is it because my device is rooted. Tried calling T-mobile with no avail. Wondering what my options are at this point.
I read in a thread here that DO NOT FLASH other carrier's stock firmware with ODIN. How true is that? I'm pretty novice at Android devices. So any help/suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Root can stop OTA.

General question on flashing a Note 4 after changing mobile provider

Hi,
I have a Note 4 (model N910A) that I was using with AT&T. Recently I moved over to T-Mobile and kept the same phone.
So my phone is 'unlocked' and working fine but I noticed I have a lot of AT&T bloatware still on the phone so I was thinking
of flashing it with a custom ROM; my question is this.....
Should I be following the instructions for a T-Mobile Note 4 or for a AT&T Note 4? Or perhaps it doesn't matter?
Thanks in advance, any help appreciated....
As far as i know if you have n910A model you cant flash custom rom beacuse thier bootlader always comes with lock

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend flash a custom ROM onto your device. As it's specifically design to work on AT&T's LTE/4G bands, so even if you do flash a custom ROM onto it. You are not gonna be able to say put a Verizon SIM into your device and be able to use their LTE/4G bands on your device.
