you can download from the mirror here :

(if you find samfirmware is slow).
If you only flash original firmware, it won't trigger KNOX. region doesn't matter. just pick up the latest one, and don't forget to tick "upgrade bootloader" when you are flashing with ODIN PC. Otherwise, ..... mmm... better not think if you never tick it.

Do you have any real reason to upgrade, other than "to have the latest android version, because THEY say it's better" ?
Maybe this thread will show you the pain in the *** that kitkat is on Note 3:

Maybe you'll think again about upgrading (just my humble opinion).

[Q] [Help] How to install stock firmware from Samsung via Odin when CWM is installed?

I have a Galaxy S4 i9506 model SHV E300S from Korea (SK Telecom). Currently running 4.3.
Please give me detailed steps on how to install the firmware i downloaded from live samsung updates for my firmware. Do I have to extract the file and what to do on Odin. Is it also safe to do it via Odin if I have Philz recovery installed but my phone is not rooted? Can I also jump in from 4.3 to 4.4.2 without installing other firmwares between them?Thanks!

What does your screenshot means? I have tried updating via Kies and it actually downloaded the firmware I need. Isn't it official then? I just can't continue the process as Kies does not recognize phones with customizations or modifications, in my case I have Philz recovery installed as CWM. I want to upgrade because 4.3 in SHV-E300S has battery problems, as it terribly drains so fast!
What I want to know is the exact steps on how to update the phone via Odin IF Philz recovery is installed. Thanks

Please give me thed etailed steps and settings for Odin. Is there also no risk on loaing my IMEI and network connectivity? Thanks

Thanks sir. Additional question: Do I have to install earlier versions of 4.4.2 or 4.3? I'm currently using 4.3 and I've read from another thread here that I have to install other fiemwares progressively (from my current version to the next and further versions till I reach the desired one) to make sure partition configurations won't go wrong. Can you confirm this? Thanks again!

ok. stay calm. That's the 1st rule
I believe I can't ask you to check your about device, since you are stuck at ODIN mode already.
From what you are saying you are on latest Germany firmware, if I'm not wrong it should be ND3 Kitkat.
Did you try to root using the correct file of CF-Autoroot ? I mean did you use the correct file for the Kitkat N9005 version ?
Since now you are left with no other choice, I suggest you to download the same firmware of ND3 - DBT version again (if you still want to stick with germany firmware).
But if you want the latest one, you can try Singapore XSP NE4 (I'm not sure, but some users reported the NE4 XSP is not so good in dealing with GPS).
It's up to your choice mate. But if you are worry too much, you can just grab the ND3 - DBT (I'm not sure the germany this one still need the .PIT file or not), or any other Europe firmwares (try not to grab the provider branded firmware)
You can find this on samfirmware.com
Once you get already, you can use ODIN v.3.0.9 to flash.
Let it boot... if you stuck at the N9005 logo, power it off (or take out battery for few secs and put it back), and then press vol up + home + power to go into stock recovery, and then choose factory reset and wipe cache, and then reboot.
Btw,
Reason why you are not able to flash the firmwares you are listed above, is because you are on Germany last built (ND3) with the ND bootloader. It is not possible for you to flash earlier firmware with earlier bootloader.
Hope you understand my long explanation
feel free to PM me if you need more help.
cheers.

Downgrade ROM for TowelRoot

EDIT* SOLVED* - Solution in post #13 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57050358&postcount=13
Current ROM : KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9
Target ROM: G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip
Model: SM-G900F
Reason for doing this:
I want root without tripping the KNOX bit, so I must use TowelRoot, but it's incompatible with my current ROM
I would like a ROM for my region (it's a grey import phone)
Can anyone confirm?
Will this flash trip the KNOX bit?
Will there be any issues arising from the fact the ROMs have different regions (one is Netherlands (I think?) target is UK)?
How can I verify that the kernel in "G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip" is official and signed by Samsung before flashing? I downloaded it from here... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/29315/G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip/
I've looked around the forum and I'm confident it will be ok, but I rarely see people flashing different region ROMs. Any help and advice is much appreciated!
Thank you

1- Flash newest rom for your region with odin
2- flash old kernel with odin and then root your phone using towel
3- flash latest kernel with odin
Check here for roms link
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900F
And enjoy

Thank you, ok heres what I'll do
1. Download latest ROM for my region (UK) : BTU G900FXXU1ANG2 Android 4.4.2 03.07.2014 (BTU-G900FXXU1ANE2-20140512140232.zip)
Edit* 1.5. Wait for 600 hours for rapidgator.net's download to finish
2. Flash with odin (version 3.09 from the link on this page http://www.galaxys5update.com/firmware-g900fxxu1ane2-4-4-2-galaxy-s5-sm-g900f/ )
3. Download BTU G900FXXU1ANE2 Android 4.4.2 08.05.2014 (BTU-G900FXXU1ANCE-20140408194209.zip) (pre-June kernel donor ROM)
4. Flash kernel from 4.4.2 08.05.2014
5. TowelRoot
6. Flash kernel from 4.4.2 03.07.2014
7. Report back
I hope this works. I'm very concerned about the KNOX bit
Any good tutorials on only flashing the kernel from a ROM image?

You can open rom image with winrar and then extract kernel file (boot.img) and flash it with odin

Is there any way to make sure all the files are signed prior to flashing?

Not mirrors, but these files have the same descriptions and the download is much faster.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/34794/G900FXXU1ANG2_G900FVIR1ANG2_VIR.zip/
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/31537/G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FVIR1AND2_VIR.zip/
I assume there's nothing wrong with using the ones provided on sammobile.com with regards to tripping the KNOX bit?

Hit a snag,
Not sure how to flash 'boot.img'.
Will I get away with just creating a *.tar containing only 'boot.img' using 7zip and then flash with odin?

Anyone?
Finger is on the button

Update: Will gamble and proceed with the technique here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
I read that 7-zip tars are *NOT* compatible with odin (can't confirm).

Ok, everything worked.
But I'm a tool, and as some of you may have noticed I installed the Virgin Mobile ROMs rather than a carrier-free BTU version.
So I'm going to repeat the process and pray that flashing over a rooted OS doesn't trip the KNOX. (Does anyone know if it does or not?)
It's getting late tonight but I'll try and get back tomorrow with a final step-by-step.

Solved! Try at your own risk!
Thanks very much to iNTER5Love for leading me in the right direction!
SM-G900F Only!
As of today I am rooted running a post-June 2014 ROM and my KNOX status is 0x0!
Back story: I live in the UK and I bought a grey import S5 SM-G900F to save some cash (about £150!). It came with a different language and non-UK region specific ROM. I wanted root but my phone had a post-June 2014 ROM so TowelRoot wouldn't work. Keeping KNOX 0x0 was important to me also (this is day 1 and I didn't want to lose the warranty immediately.)
Rant: That said, I refuse to accept rooting voids the warranty. Despite what Samsung say, we are European consumers and we have rights! If root did not directly damage your device and you can prove it (after 6 months) or Sammy can't prove it did (before 6 months) then you have a warranty! Be prepared to fight for it though.
To business:
In my experiments I found that you can feel free to do the following without tripping the KNOX counter:
You can flash a different region ROM as long as it's official (e.g. from SamMobile)
You can root using TowelRoot
You can unroot using SuperSU
You can flash kernels using ODIN (again, as long as they are from official Samsung ROMs)
You can mess up at least once I accidentally flashed a Virgin Mobile ROM instead of a carrier-free ROM. I repeated the steps again and I was fine.
Materials you will need:
Target ROM (the ROM you want to be on when we're done)
Donor ROM (a ROM identical to the target, but with a build date before June 2014)
TowelRoot (for the 0x0 KNOX-safe root) - https://towelroot.com/
tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07 (for preparing the donor and target kernels for flashing) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2446269
ODIN 3.09 - https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
I've put the steps I took into guide form as follows...
Download the latest version of the ROM you want (Target ROM) AND a version of the target ROM with a build date before June 2014 (Donor ROM). The ROMs MUST be official ROMs released by Samsung (e.g. from SamMobile)
Flash the target ROM. The one I picked was a UK version and I was coming from a Baltic EU ROM.
Factory reset (not essential, but good for clearing residual bloatware)
Copy TowelRoot (https://towelroot.com/) on to your device now! (I found that after the next step the system is very unstable)
Extract 'boot.img' (the kernel) from your donor ROM (using 7-zip)
Create an boot.tar.md5 from the 'boot.img' you just extracted using tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2446269)
Flash the file you just created with ODIN
Install SuperSU (or an SU manager of your choice – Essential to protect you from rogue apps!)
Run TowelRoot
Extract 'boot.img' from your target ROM
Create a boot.tar.md5 (same as before)
Flash the new boot.tar.md5
Finished
You are now effectively running your full Target ROM (we temporarily swapped out the kernel, then swapped it back in). Your system is now fully rooted. Your KNOX counter reads 0x0.
Closing Notes:
I've been researching for at least 6 hours. I've easily missed references, if you think I've used something of yours please PM me!
Please report back so others can benefit from your experience!
There is no guarantee this will work for you! Everything you do is at your own risk. If warranty is essential to you then don't try this.

SM-N910F Baseband/Modem firmware for Android 5.1

Hi all, just updated the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to CyanogenMod 5.1.1 ROM. Phone doesn't recognize SIM card (I live in UK) anymore, baseband is showing as "unknown" under the About Phone section. Please can someone let me know where I can download the Baseband/Modem firmware for SM-N910F?
Many thanks!

You could attempt to download the full stock firmware by either using 'Samfirm' or the website 'Sammobile'
Unbranded Note 4 CSC is BTU but it is currently still on Android 5.0.1 but the modem and bootloader will still work fine with Cyanogenmod ROMs.

Right, I did download the official Samsung firmware N910FXXU1BOC5 from a website, but when flashing with Odin 3.09 I was getting a error. So I ended up using the customized ROM which didn't seem to have the baseband/model inside. How could I extract the baseband from the official firmware in MD5 format?

Bootloader
Modem
Put your phone in download mode manually (Pull the battery out and put it back in after 10 seconds and then hold volume down + Home button and power on the device) Then connect it to your PC and run Odin as Admin and flash the bootloader and modem.
Make sure you uninstall Kies if you have it installed.

Hi mate,
I have a quick question with which I hope you can help (if you have the time of course ). There is a newer firmware version for UK, which is COK3 (and O2, which is what I have), and I'd like to update to this one, but the only way I know would be to update the phone entirely and then root it again and install whatever mod rom I'm using from there. However, this would be a painful lot of work. Do you know (or mind sharing) how to extract the baseband from an official md5 release so as to update this only or as well as the bootloader? Is there any way to put the entire firmware md5 file on Odin and tell the software to update just one thing?
I saw that you did just that above and I'm having some trouble with the phone connection being lost quite often, so it would be of great help.
Many thanks in advance for your help mate!
Cheers

Thanks for the quick response mate! You are the man! I still have a couple of questions though. Firstly, what's the difference between the cp and bl files in the link in your signature? I take it that bl stands for bootloader, but not sure of what cp stands for then. In any case, the most important bit I need/want is the baseband, and since I'm in the UK and my network carrier is O2, I believe the XXU1COK3 (as per Sammobile) would be my best bet, is that right? Will it make much of a difference with the XXU1COJ3 that I have installed right now? In any case, is the bl-cok3.tar file in your link the same XXI1COK3 baseband?
Secondly, that other post that you included is for a galaxy s3 and within that topic they link to a galaxy s4 topic, will those files and guidelines also work for our note 4?
Finally, I have TWRP recovery and within advanced backup I can individually backup the boot (which I imagine is the bootloader) and the modem (which I suppose is the baseband as such). Do you know if I could I install a new firmware through Odin and, backup the modem and boot, and then restore everything but those two things from an different rom backup? Have you ever tried?
Thank you for your time bro! I know that these might be a little bit of a newbie's questions but for more thar I search, I can't find anything close enough to answer what I'm asking.

Thank you for your time bro! I know that these might be a little bit of a newbie's questions but for more thar I search, I can't find anything close enough to answer what I'm asking.

In the bootloader and modem folders I have included the latest Odin, if you use that the 'CP' and 'BL' will make sense.
CP= Modem
BL=Bootloader
The steps should still work for the Note4.
I don't back-up and restore bootloaders or modems using TWRP.

Aah OK, that makes sense. But then the modem I am talking about is not in that list, is it? However, the bootloader is I think. Is there any chance you could extract the xxu1cok3 modem for the UK and O2 to add it to your list? ?? Pretty sure other people would appreciate it too, I know I would :good:

The modem isn't COK3, only the bootloader was.
The modem was COJ3.

Yep, that's what I thought. And the coj3 is the modem I have now (not working so well ). As I said, Any chance you could extract the cok3 modem from the full firmware to add it to your list?
Thanks in any case mate!

I don't see a point in doing that, it won't make a difference. The firmware does not have a 'COK3' modem. So I can't extract it if it doesn't exist. The O2U firmware had a bootloader of COK3, CSC of COJ1 and modem of COJ3.
If the modem isn't working well then you should flash a stock firmware for your region and apply the appropriate CSC.

Oooooouuuch! Sorry mate, my bad, I must ve read it wrong and only seen what i wanted to see. I was convinced I saw that that firmware release came with modem too.
In any event, thanks mate as you saved me a lot of time wasting with that last attachment
