Hello I would like to ask you... I have SM-N9005 (baseband) - N9005XXUBMH9 and I cant find any ROM for it, can you tell me whats the problem? Do I have any kind of testing model or what? Thank you for your answers... I really would like to install Lollipop on it, but I am afraid, because of my baseband... Thanks.
Baseband is the Modem its not the firmware .
Development is full of N9005 custom roms as is sammobile with stock roms .

Ahh sorry, so do you think that I can install any firmware on that XXUBMH9?, because i didnt find any on sammobile. I have found that XXUBMH9 was something like pre-release version or something like that...
Download and run Phone Info from play store .

And what do you need from this app ?
List everything in these tabs: General, CSC Code, Firmware
(actually, don't need all, but simpler to just tell you that than each specific thing). Easier still, take a snapshot of your screen and post them on here.
General will tell us your exact phone model, and CSC will let us know which country specific firmware you need. Firmware will let us know which version you have, so you don't downgrade bootloader and mess things up.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed

A word of caution. It may not be so but your confusion about baseband says you don't know much about ROM's, flashing and software components. I'd suggest have a read of the stickies (at top of each section such as Android Development) and learn what gives. You need to know the difference between Recovery and Download modes among other things.
Chances are you will want to root you phone so you can play more, but if all you want is LP, you can DL the Stock firmware for your phone (which is why the guys want the details from Phone INFO) and then flash it using Odin - a program you run on your PC that runs the firmware onto your phone.
N9005XXUBMH9
Feedback on that is that it was Jelly Bean Test firmware .In which case it may not be a genuine Note 3 but a sample .
SM-N9005: Android 4.3 Jellybean
(Current test firmware: N9005XXEBMH9/N9005OXABMH9/N9005XXUBMH9)
Hi guys,
I see several Roms in the Rom Section that require to flash a new Bootloader and Modem.
I can't find any explanation why this is needed or what it changes.
Afterr flashing those. Is it than necesarry to reflash stock if you want to try another Rom.
Would be glad if someone could please elaborate on this topic a little bit.
Thanks

But before flashing anything make sure your device version is supported by the rom. I am in canada and have a w8 version device, not all roms support this device.
You need a new bootloader and modem, if you are upgrading to marshmallow or adding a custom rom. As the older roms do not support 6.0.1 and custom roms have a base from a different device (usual F series of the international devices). You would then reflash the bootloader and modem for your particular version if recommend by the rom developer to take advantage of certain features like radio (modem), volte if supported. It also depending on where you are reads your sim card and imei correctly.
no you do not need to back to stock to flash another rom just follow the rom developers installation instructions. If you have any questions, it is usually best to post in the rom thread as developer or someone who is very familiar with that particular rom can get the help you need.

Hi guys, sorry this is probably a really simple question but I just can't seem to find a binary answer.
I'm currently running;
HydrogenOS V1.4.0
Android Version 6.0.1
Kernel Version 3.10.84-perf+
I want to upgrade to Android N with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-t3347535 but it states that you should flash the modem while people in the thread are saying they don't need to.
Coming from my OnePlus 2, do I need to flash a new modem for this or shall I just flash it like normal and skip the modem step?
Apologies if this is basic but I'd rather find out than go ahead and mess it up...again.
Also if any other information about my phone is needed please let me know.
Thank you

Hi All,
I've flashed @DrakenFX back-to-stock zip's for U variant on my Chinese one, both BootStack and StockSystem zips.
happy to confirm that everything works except the cellular network basically making this a tablet
Trying to go back to Chinese stock, the boot stack for that model has no mirrors on the download page (ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B10_BootStack_by_DrakenFX.zip)
would appreciate if anyone has the file and can re-upload it. Till then I'm stuck with absolutely no phone :crying:
Another option I'm willing to experiment with is to flash the modem so it will work nicely with the U-everything-else.
If anyone has reason to believe this will work and has the modem binary I'll go for it.
Having the U variant supported bands is a-OK by me.
I would've commented on the dev thread but as I'm a new user I'm still not allowed to
Here : ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B10_BootStack_by_DrakenFX.zip , just FYI next time you try to use a different variant Rom, you just need System.img & Boot.img (Stock System zip in this case using my files) , YOU DON'T need other variants Bootstack

Hi! I have the exact same problem - no carrier signal after I flashed B29 US ROM on my chinese Axon 7 although the rest of the phone works fine - could you please please please tell me if you got it working and how??
Best Wishes
Hi there.. I read somewhere that it's possible to flash the global ROM on the US model and unlock the 866mbps WiFi speed (2x2 mimo).. Is this actually possible? If so, is it possible to flash just the radio on Lineage OS and get the same effect?
@TgSn
Did ur problem solved if not, then may b i could help you
Waiting for your reply
