You can. But you might have signal issues due to the baseband being for another country.

[Q] Note 3 N9007

Hey guys,
I just upgraded to a Note 3 with Optus in Australia, and it seems to be a N9007 instead of N9005. Does anyone know if it's possible to flash N9005 roms onto it?
Thanks
I have the same problem... I just want to root my N9007, but I dont think there is a solution...

I've tried for a few days to get a few AOSP 4.4 ROMs working on the new N9007, everything works, except the modem. It's just not seen by the ROM, so my guess is that we'll have to wait for somebody to make a compatible ROM (or do it ourselves!)

Couldn't you then just flash the modem that is supplied with the N9007 - I would assume it is a different modem to the N9005?

I don't know enough about modem firmware across Android versions. I thought (but I could be wrong) that a 4.3 modem file wouldn't work on 4.4? In which case, we're waiting for a 4.4 release anywhere for the N9007, then the modem files could be extracted and put into any 4.4 ROM.
I could be barking up the wrong tree. Does anybody know if a 4.3 modem firmware/driver will work on 4.4?

Modem 4.3 won't work on 4.4. N9007 is still a very new model and I guess you still need to wait a little while more.
One other thing you might like to try is to reset your APN or to configure it according to your carrier. I've just this week replaced my Galaxy S3 with the Note3 - with my S3 I would change custom rom every couple of weeks and if the modem didn't work I would simply reset the APN which would fix the issue.

I've been trying really hard to understand if there's actually any difference btw the N9005 and N9007 (both Snapdragon). Can some1 please correct me if I am wrong because all I can see is that the firmware and versions (N9005 or N9007) is based on the android version and the country it is issue for. As an example...the below 3 firmwares are all available for Hong Kong....
Model = SM-N9005
Country/Carrier = Hong Kong
Date = 2014 June
Version = 4.4.2
PDA = N9005ZHUENE6
CSC = N9005ZZHENE6
Model = SM-N9007
Country/Carrier = Hong Kong
Date = 2014 May
Version = 4.3
PDA = N9007ZHUAND1
CSC = N9007ZZHAND1
Model = SM-N9007
Country/Carrier = Hong Kong
Date = 2014 February
Version = 4.3
PDA = N9007ZHUANB1
CSC = N9007ZZHANB1
I note that the Omega v17 Android 4.4.2 ROM is based on N9005ZHUENE6, so even if my Note3 firmware was one of the N9007 from Hong Kong or Australia why WOULD I NOT be able to simple flash the N9005 - this should work. I've only had my Note3 this week so still trying to get up to speed with the rooting process etc before I flash a custom rom. Also, I am still trying to determine with of the Note3 custom rom would people most recommend.
Below is some more info I've found (article)
http://www.galaxynote3update.com/sa...ote-3-n9005-4-4-2-kitkat-update-n9005zhuenb5/
Hong Kong’s Galaxy Note 3 N9005 4.4.2 KitKat Update N9005ZHUENB5 Release
Hong Kong’s Galaxy Note 3 variants are similar to any other Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 but it runs with a different software build version other than those released in Europe and Asia Pacific regions like the latest 4.4.2 software update N9005XXUENB4. There are three Galaxy Note 3 versions released in Hong Kong, Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 (Exynos) and the other two are built with Snapdragon processors – the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 LTE and the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9007 TD-LTE. The Note 3 TD-LTE (SM-N9007) variants can connect to TD-LTE with 2300/2600MHz band of frequencies, and has also seen exclusively released in Australia under Optus mobile carrier, but there is no KitKat update for that version for now.

4.4.2 is out from Optus in Australia for the n9007. The Optus page has it coming out "in the next few days", but Sams Mobile has it already. I'm downloading it currently.

Got it after a couple of attempts.
I initially attempted with "CF-Auto-Root-htdlte-htdltedi-smn9007.tar.md5", but stuck in bootloop.
I then tried "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5" (which I successfully tried on Android version 4.3), and successfully got root access on 4.4.2.
Has been working fine since.

In case you haven't heard, the official 5.0 Lollipop ROM is now out from Optus (or Sam's Mobile) for the poor old n9007...
I've got it to Root stage with TWRP, but haven't had a proper go at getting Xposed working on it yet - that will be over the weekend.
Other than that, very happy with the ROM so far.
Next step will be to extricate the modem files, and see if they can be used in any of the excellent other n900x ROMS...
Just got Xposed working perfectly (so far only using Wanam and Menubegone modules, but they're working flawlessly) with Arte97's recent beta v79 Xposed, from here:

First time didn't work, "not enough storage space" as warned - then removed some apps, tried again and successful.

[Q] Can I flash a international I9505 modem to my I337?

Hi,
I took my I337 AT&T S4 (GE45, boatloader MDL, baseband NI1) to Taiwan and is currently running on Chunghwa Telecom 4G TLE network. But I am not getting the LTE speed because CHT uses band 2 1800mhz while AT&T uses all these other bands beside the 1800mhz.
I want to flash an international version modem like the latest XXUGNG2 so I can get the 1800mhz frequency. Is this doable?
Someone said it's a bad idea to use a modem from a different variant. So would it be better if I flash an I9505 custom rom like Omega or Echo first, and then flash a AT&T suitable kernel than flash the I9505 variant's modem?
Me too but noone help us.

ok, you should be able to flash any G900F tar.md5 file from any country on it. You have the international verison of that phone and it has TONS of tar.md5's for it that will all work just fine. only signal difference you will notice is in the different radios that are in the different tarballs, other than that, they should all work the same
