[Q] Note N9005 modem flashing

Hello everyone,
I know this question showed up a couple of times before, but I'm confused about the whole situation.
I own a Note3 International version bough from an official Samsung retailer in Poland.
Updated to 4.4 KitKat through official Samsung OTA update and a month later decided to go with a custom room. Installed TWRP and Omega 14 rom. Everything is fine, but I can't flash any modem.
Currently I'm running XXUENB1 modem and tried flashing the latest XXUEND6 from Omega repos and XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base, but with no sucess.
Tried flashing two times with Odin and than pulling the battery etc. The modem version stays the same. In download mode, it says write protection enabled, is it of any concern?
Is it possible to flash a modem on my Note 3?
Thanks for any help.

Under some conditions it seems that modems are hard to be written on phones with certain bootloaders and a custom recovery - but with stock recovery it seems to work better (and it also works with Mobile Odin Pro).

Right, so I tried the Odin Pro and it says after booting to recovery "Memory lock in place - TriangleAway may fix this. Skipping flash."
So I downloaded TriangleAway, did its magic, but with no result.
Still can't flash because of memory lock.
What can I do next?
Should I flash a stock rom with never modem like this one?

At this point do you have the stock recovery or a custom recovery?

Now I have a custom recovery TWRP 2.7.
Now trying stock... no go. Back with stock rom and recovery and still stuck with the old modem.
edit2: went stoch, rooted and tried to flash using mobile odin pro - no success because of write protection.

Could it be you need to Sim Unlock first? I'm sure I heard that somewhere. Give it a Google to see.

But I got the phone unlocked so there is no sim lock, what about this write protection?
Is there any way around it?
EDIT: I've tried with RegionLock Away it did it's magic but still I cant flash modems

Use triangle away. Even if the counter is zero, thew is a hidden counter that trips a write protect on the modem. After triangle away, it should work. Just be sure to follow the directions.

Yeah, your're right, I've messed it up completely.
Flashed a stock kernel, triangle away and odin pro... everything is fine. Flashed like crazy
Anyway manged to flashed the modem from XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base which is around 60MB's and has modem and modem #2 partitions. Question is how can I flash the modems from omega repos which are only 8MB and have one partition only. When flashing with Odin Pro version doesn't change, although flash is a success.

Are they modem.bin or the non-hlos files? Id really recommend doing modem flashes through desktop odin, especially if they're piece meal modems and not a full stock modem flash file.
Other than that I can't offer much assistance for non stock modems, but good luck in your endeavor, and glad I could point you in the right direction to at least get a stuck fladh to work. ?

The files are tar packed with a non-hlos.bin file inside.
Can I use those?

Those should be fine then. Might have to triangle away again first to remove the write lock again, but otherwise should be ok.

If you have 2 files modem.bin and non-hlos.bin on the sdcard, download this Terminal Emulator and try these commands: (required ROOT)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/non-hlos.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot

The problem is that modems from omega repos have only one file - non-hlos.bin.
They lack the modem.bin, for some reason.

You don't have to unzip the files from omega as they are tar and can be used in odin on computer(press pda look for your modem tar file & flash)

You can download the firmware for your device and extract to obtain the modem files.

If you still have a problem flashing the Modem, I used this 5 min. ago and it worked perfectly fine(used flashing instruction from x-note)
Download Odin3 v3.09 to your pc, download Modems from Omega(I used NC2) both GSM & LTE.
Put Odin and the Modems from Omega on PC Desktop.
Turn off your Cell Phone (power off normally). Take out your battery(wait 5 sec.) put it back in and boot in download mode(volume down+home+power) and than connect your phone to pc.
Open Odin and press AP and choose the GSM tar file from Omega.
Press start and wait for the phone to reboot.
Turn the phone off again and boot in download mode (same steps as before). Now look for the LTE tar file in AP and press start again.
You should now have your Modem Installed. Good luck mate

NE 9 modem on Developer

Quick question - - can I just flash the NE9 modem in TWRP just after flashing extreme syndicate room and before reboot? Or do I have to use ODIN?
If I have to use ODIN what are the steps?
Thanks.
{I voiced my opinion with my wallet and bought a developer phone, come on AOSP love.... Soon i hope}

The NE9 modem files that I have seen (present and past modem files) cannot be flashed via a custom recovery, they must be installed using ODIN.
Put you phone in download mode (volume down + power)(make sure you have Samsung drivers installed on PC), start ODIN on PC, connect phone to PC, wait for ODIN to recognize phone, select the modem tar file that is located on your PC, use PDA and press start. Wait until you get a GREEN PASS before disconnecting your phone. Reboot.

Thanks for the reply.... But, do I flash the rom first and reboot, then reboot into download mode and go into ODIN and flash NE9 modem? The rom 'extreme syndicate' is NE9.

ROM installation instructions:
Dev Edition Install Instructions:
1: Download ROM.zip to Internal Storage or External SD Card
2: Reboot to Recovery
3: Flash ROM.zip
4: Flash NE9 Modem
5: DO NOT FLASH NE9 FIRMWARE PACKAGE!!! THIS WILL RUIN YOUR NICE DEV EDITION PHONE FOR GOOD

No problem. If you're looking for a lean, fast, smooth ROM then you'll love that ROM. I've been running it since it was first release (under a different name) and haven't found a good reason to run anything else.

Yeah the rom is terrific. I was running the earlier version also. BTW do u know what KLTE is? I was looking at the unified s5 section and the AOSP roms and wondering if the VZ Developer version is KLTE? Thanks again

I'm not positive what KLTE means in terms of our Dev S5s. I see the term used a lot in threads talking about unified ROMs, but I don't know exactly what phones it applies to.

Problems since lollipop DOC4 (SM-N900w8)

I have a SM-N900W8 canadian note 3. I just installed new DOC4 lollipop rom via odin. I did clean install by wiping data. I root with CF-Root and flash latest TWRP. Everything seems to work perfectly until i try to made some small mod to add datamobile button in quicksettings using this thread. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370
After it boots up to a black screen and a pop up shows up for nearly all of my apps that says they are not responding so all I get is that and a black screen. I reflash the rom via odin without wiping my data, re-root and everything went back fine and my mod works. ???!! I now have my datamobile button.
Later, i made a nandroid backup with TWRP. After reboot i got the same errors.... So i Reflash-rom, re-root, everything back to normal.
TO make a short story, everytime i access recovery or flash something in recovery or modify my system partition i got this errors....
I suspect having partition mismatched ... i don't know...
Any idea ???
Any help appreciated...

Which version of TWRP did you use? As far as I know, the latest only supports up to kitkat (4.4)
Maybe this is what causes your problems?

That's what i thought, I'm using the latest one (2.8.6.0). I ask other users in another thread and they said this version is working flawlessly with lollipop...

I have the same phone, and I flashed lollipop DOC4 using Odin yesterday, with CF-auto-root and TWRP 2.8.6.0.
I just tried (litterally minutes ago) adding the data toggle, and it worked, but I could not reproduce your problem.
Which version of TWRP did you use? The hltecan one or the hltexx?

1. Are you sure you installed correct TWRP? The correct one for your device: HERE.
2. Seems that mod for datamobile button doesn't work for your device. Reflash rom, re-root and don't install that mod. Try that update firmware for some days and tell me how it works :highfive:

I used HLTECAN 2.8.6.0. When i was on 4.4.2 NB7, i was using the same file and i had not problems at all. If you re-read my first post, i said my data toggle is working fine now but i needed to re-flash the entire rom without wiping data to get rid of the many apps errors. I guess i need to reflash everything from scratch... Will use another USB wire and another USB port. Maybe it'll help... Or maybe i should try another root method ??? I used CF-Root for SM-n900w8...

I suggest trying with hltexx, since it is the version I used, and I encountered no problem at all so far.
Let's check for any other difference between devices. I got :
Baseband N900W8VLUBMJ4
Bootloader N900W8UBUCNA2
PDA Version N900W8VLU2DOC4
CSC Version N900W8OYADOC4
Stock Kernel

Hi, can I root N900W8 running N900W8UBU2DOG2 firmware from region TTT with twrp? If not is there any other method I can use to root my device ?

trying to root Note 4 5.1.1 on 910W8

Hey guys i followed this youtube guide for rooting 5.1.1 using TWRP Method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpsGX_Xoxcg
i downloaded all the files but the firmware (not listen i have n910W8 = telus)
I have odin, supersu, TWRP (which n910w8 is listed) and samsung drivers.
I moved superSU and the TWRP file to root directory of note 4 5.1.1. rebooted into download mode, saw the blue indicator on odin and loaded the file. Rebooted holding volume up this time and tried to load the kernal but it doesnt exist.
I think im confused the TWRP file is NOT the kernal? Where can I get a kernal for n910W8 (telus)
thanks in advance!!

So I found this
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56498/N910W8VLU1COI4_N910W8OYA1COI4_TLS/
which is telus 5.1.1 Rom. ill move this to my root directory and load the 910W8 TWRP file in odin and flash? Ill give it a try now wish me luck lol

ok i followed a guide online and now my phone just keeps restarting. I think im in big trouble. Im able to load openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-trltecan.img into odin and boot to TWRP but now i cant load kernels? looked so easy to do now im down a phone? any help is much appreciated thanks!!!

You need to odin (bell, rogers, telus) 5.1.1 then odin TWRP then twrp a custom kernel. Our 5.1.1 needs a custom kernel in order to work rooted. Or.....you can load a custom 5.1.1 rooted rom that is W8 compatible or any Tmobile rom such as Tekxodus which i am running.

ok so i loaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-trltecan.img in AP (for my device) copied the custom rom
" cm-12.1-20150423-NIGHTLY-trltetmo" which was suppose to work with my 910w8 (910T) used recovery to flash it and also supersu it flashed OK... I restart and i see a little blue guy and its stuck optimizing apps. Suck in restart loop.
what did i do wrong? try a different kernel ?
thanks in advance
EDIT 1
im trying the " Tekxodus" rom. this file is way larger whats going on with that. Is it the same procedure to flash it?
EDIT 2
Flashed to tekxodus rom optimizing apps... now its stuck System UI has stopped. and I cant do nothing. Any suggestions? ?? ?
EDIT 3
Do I need to flash a certain BootLoader along with the recovery for my device (BL and AP) ? , reboot in recovery and flash the custom rom ie "Tekxodus" ?
found this guide for 910C
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-root-galaxy-note-4-n910c-android-5-1-1-lollipop-1518168 with these steps
"Step-1: Download the flashable root package and transfer it to the storage of the phone
Step-2: Download Android 5.0.1 bootloader package. Extract it using any extracting tool and you should find a folder containing Odin flashable tar package and Odin binaries"
so confused lol

All you have to do is Odin stock 5.1.1 rom (COI4 i believe) then Odin TWRP then flash Tekxodus V3.2. Let everything optimize and let it sit there for a good 10 mins after optimization. Ignore what its doing. It will just work. No need to flash anything else unless you want Xposed, then you flash that right after flashing Tek (do not boot in between)

any idea where to get a custom kernel for 910w8 5.1.1 to root stock rom?

Im running this rom (flashed using odin)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56498/N910W8VLU1COI4_N910W8OYA1COI4_TLS/
stock telus rom. I loaded this rom by clicking BL in odin and selecting it (along with my recovery for telus 910w8). This was the only was to get my phone back into working order.
______-
I loaded my recovery for telus into odin and went to download mode.
booted into TWRP
Flashed Tekxodus V3.2.
Optimized apps for about 10 minutes and it just restarted and optimized again and again.
One time it said System UI has stopped and I was hooped.
not sure where I went wrong?
thanks for the response btw I really want to get this going cheers

Flashing roms and getting bootloop

Hello guys I need a little help here in every time I flash marshmallow rom or nougat rom I got bootloop so after googling for an answer I found that the solution is by changing or updating the baseband version so I need you guys to give me a link for a modern baseband version and tech me how to flash the baseband version.
I know I am asking too much but I really love flashing those roms so please help me.
My baseband version is SM-G7102XXUBOE1
I am now using CM12.1
And I tried to flash stock firmware then flashing those roms but still Getting a bootloop.
Note: all lollipop roms work good (except blisspop Rom when I flash it I got bootloop so I extracted the cm12.1 boot.img then I flashed it so blisspop rom booted but Wifi, hotspot and ril didn't work.

Revert to stock ROM using Odin (use NAND erase all option). Then back to install CM13.

1.download NK1 firmwire from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/stock-firmware-grand-2-google-drive-t2849501
2.Extract zip to get a .tar file
3.Download Odin.
4.Select AP and click on the .tar file you extracted
5.Factory format the phone,then take out battery for 8 sec(not so necessary ).Then switch off grand 2.Then hold vokume down+power button and click volume up when asked for confirmation
6.Attach the phone to PC and click on flash
7.After finishing,turn on mobile,complete first setup in stock ROM then install TWRP recovery on the device and install any ROMs. Your problem won't occur again

I have the same problem but i can still run my phone on boot but after some few seconds, it will reboot and then goes back to lock screen and then does it again. I flashed Ressurection Remix for Grand 2 btw
