That's not the complete firmware. Go to sammobile.com. You'll download a zip and extract the .tar.md5 file from it. You'll flash that in Odin.

Curiously, which file you use to flash with Odin PC?
Can you show me the file?
And how did you load it into Odin?

So what is the filename you load into Odin? The whole firmware or just a modem?
Try to load only the "modem.bin" file

No no, I didnt mean to rename that big file to modem.bin.
The file you are using is a whole firmware. Try to rename it to *.TAR, then open with with WinRAR. You will see a modem.bin file inside. Extract this file (its size is only about 50MB) and flash only this file.

You guys sure you want to flash a 900W modem onto a N9005 phone?

Stock Recovery

Can anyone give me the stock recovery for N900 4.4.2 please? My phone is rooted but used fake system stauts in wanam xpose. I can download OTA upgrade but failed to install the update. So i guess it must be bcoz of CWM. Thank you so much in advance.

I have the same problem before. And I have flash the stock firmware via Odin. No data will be lost.
If you are going to flash the stock recovery, you'd better flash the stock firmware
You can also download the stock firmware and extract the stock recovery yourself.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to find and download the stock firmware for your device.

Oh.really. I didnt realize it at all. Current firmware is the one that I downloaded and flashed it from odin. Can u guide me how to extract and flash it bcoz I am afraid I will have bootloop or brick.?
Yes I know your application and this is a must have for SAMSUNG.? I wait for you before i proceed anything.

The firmware file is a TAR archive and you can extract it with WinRAR.
You will get recovery.img file and it can be flash via Odin.
But it's easier if you flash full stock firmware. No data will be lost.

Do i need to repack recovery.img into tar.md5? I can add recovery.img into zip archive and then rename into tar.md5? is it a right method? I have modified something in system folder which i have to flash through CWM. So after i flash stock firmware, im not going to lose my data but my modification will be lost.
I hope u understand my problem.

I don't recommend u change of CSC for avoid problems. Having CSC: SER only mean it is the place where the phone was built.

so, i read some forums, and i want to try flashing a different CSC. they say it will only disable update with Kies and i dont care kies...
i think my phone is not locked for a country but i'm not sure, if a backup my rom and try another CSC, will it be risky or all i need is restoring my older backup?
