I would like to point out i made yet another guide for gs2, because yesterday I went to "unlock" my mum's i9100 and I had a very time
If somebody wrote a more comprehensive guide, sorry i miss it
I want to install any other modem but my note 3 does not let me do anything
I use Tweaked S5 Base Note 4 Style rom Android 4.4.2 Version 7.0
Modem is: XXUENB1
Build: KOT49H.G900SKSU1ANI1
I disabled already the reactivation protection, USB DEBUGGING is also enabled.
I use the original USB cable from note 3. KIES is not installed on my pc and I used ODIN as admin.
I got another modem, put my phone into download mode connected of course, and used another modem and put it into (CP/PHONE) in Odin3.10
It says, the flash is successfull but after reboot, the MODEM is NOT changed :"(
I tried several other modems but I can not seem to install any modem! HELP!
I tried to install stock rom via ODIN but it failed as the modem installation...
PS: Safestrap is on my device, my device is of course rooted and I also use PHILZ TOUCH 6
Did you follow this steps?:
1. Download the modem.
2. Unpack the rar file to anywhere on your computer, as long as you can access it.
3. Open up the included Odin and uncheck auto reboot.
4. Click on phone/CP, select the modem.bin, and press start.
5. When you finish the flash, manually reboot your phone back to download mode and flash the modem.bin one more time.
6. When the flash is complete, reboot and you're finished!
It's because you did not power off your phone, or remove the battery before doing the button combo for download mode, let it stay off for 15 seconds then try again.
Should work fine.
Okay, I will try to do the dual Flash and tell you if it works!
First and most important thing for installing/upgrading to Stock MM is clean install (even for Odin flash). That`s why we need a WIPED device. And if you fellow this step, then hopefully you`ll never get any issues (bootloop, abnormal battery drain etc). and this is for rooted devices with custom recovery (TWRP).
I always follow these setps.
DO it at your own risk.
1. Go to TWRP Recovery mode (by pressing volume up + power + home button)
2. Enter in Wipe menu
3. Advance wipe
4. Tick Cashe,Data, System, Internal Storage (except external storage/ Micro SD Card) and swipe to wipe.
5. Go to Reboot menu.
6. Power off the device. (Ignore " No OS Installed " message).
7. Open back cover and pull out Sim cards and Memory card(if any).
8. Download Odin ( I use v.3.11.1).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
9. Install essential drivers for your device in your PC/Laptop..
10. Download Stock MM (latest) Firmware for your Device from sammobile.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-J700F/
11. Extract (.tar.md5) it in Odin folder.
12. Go to Download Mode (volume down + power + home button and then volume up)
13. Open odin
14. Connect your device with Original Usb cable.
15. Odin will say "Added" once you connected your device. If not, then check all the drivers and Usb cable.
16. In Odin, make sure "Auto Reboot " and "F. Reset Time" options are Ticked.
17. And make sure "Re Partition" option is not ticked Or marked (checke twice). Don`t touch any other options in Odin.
18. Click on "AP" tab and select the firmware you extracted earlier for your device (.tar).
19. check again everything.
20. If everything is OK. then click on "Start" and sit back.
Odin will display "PASS", when it completed.
And your device will reboot.
After setting your device, power off your device and insert Sim cards (must) and Memory card (optional).
Switch on your device.
Here you can check for the latest software update for your device again. If any update is available, it`ll ask for download and install the latest OS. you should install this update (if available) with wifi/data connection. I`ve installed the latest "J700FXXU2BPG3_J700FODD2BPF9_INS.zip" and after setting the device for the first time, it asked for the OS update again. I downloaded and installed the update and it was "BPH2" with "August Security Patch".. And now I`ve "BPH2" in my device. And I think this the latest update from samsung for J700F.
AND AFTER THAT YOU SHOULD DO FACTORY RESET.
Now you can setup your device according to your wish. And enjoy new stock MM.
These are the steps , I always follow when installing /upgrading any samsung device and really it always provides a very stable and smooth performance.
I just share my procedures.Hope it helps.

If your stuck in a boot-loop and you have a broken Home button or Volume buttons (Heck may be even both ), you can't enter to recovery and fix the soft-brick. I had the same problem and after hours of searching i found a way to boot into recovery using odin.
Steps:
1. Use MICRO USB JIG to enter download mode (Can buy on ebay and local phone spare part shops)
2. Set odin settings to Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time. (Reccomended cf auto root odin, It is preset for this type of flashes)
3. Load tar.md5 to AP and flash it
Voila, Now you are on twrp :highfive::good:
Flash twrp image from sd card and use reboot to recovery option or you can flash a rom directly from this
(If you are on a stock rom it may get overwritten, so use above step to flash recovery)
For other phone models: Use cache.img in chainfire autoroot and recovery.img(Don't use the one that comes with cf auto-root) of your phone model and search & follow instructions to build a odin tar.md5. Make sure to follow file order(of your device) in odin tar other wise your phone will brick.
This is not my sole work. I only followed the instruction and built the odin tar.md5 file

This is a guide to an untested yet possible method of rooting the Samsung J330L
So far I have been able to install Clockwork mod successfully and wanted to share my findings.
(links at the end of page)
NOTE: I take no credit for creating/editing the files listed below
*IF you follow this guide you may void your warranty*
*I am not responsible or liable for any damages while following or attempting to follow this guide*
The Korean variant of the J3 is relatively easy to install CWM.
You first must install, as with any Samsung device, Odin.
You should be able to download the latest Odin from there web page below
Secondly you need a 2017 firmware set for the j330L both to do the installation and to flash if anything goes wrong.
After installing Odin and extracting the .tar files you will need to put you phone in download mode by pressing and holding the home vol- and power keys
when you get a blue screen hit vol+. You should be in download mode.
Connect your phone to your computer and open Odin. You will need to install the BL AP CP and CSC files. (For the CSC file use the HOME file)
reboot and boot back into download mode
Flash the recovery.tar in the AP slot.
Reboot to recovery by holding down Home power and vol+
----Past this point i have had no success flashing magisk or super SU so I am currently working on flashing a ROM for root(causes boot loop)

Your device should be able to rooted using TWRP or use Magisk manager to root the boot image.

True but at the time of posting TWRP causes boot loop. I haven't tried the TWRP version that you posted tho. I will give it a shot.
Ok After much testing i have successfully rooted the damn thing with the twrp installation above and the latest Super User but installing magisk or installing a custom rom now causes bootloop. This damned phone is irritating AF but root does work.... now i need to find out how remove my kernel so i can base a rom off it
