[Q] Rom flashing dilemma!

Hey guys, I'd like to know whether I can flash a rom with an older baseband version! Like if we talk about note 3 Exonus version, and I'm updated to Kitkat! My version is N900XXUDNA6 so if a rom is based on N900XXUCMK2, can I flash it!

No bootloader downgrade is possible. Once upgraded you must stay with it

I'm not sure about the exynos model but on N900W8, you can flash an older baseband through odin.

Help Please re: flashing 4.4.2 on note 3

Hi Guys, I am fairly new to flashing and rooting. Have successfully done on my Galaxy S5 and now trying on my Note 3 - N9005. I tried flashing a latest 4.4 rom - Echoe rom and it got stuck in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Logo. Now i have flashed stock rom (Australian Vodafone) running 4.3. My question is since i am trying to flash a 4.4.2 rom, do i need to do anything specific or just flash TWRP and install a custom rom? i noticed there were 2 versions of TWRP one ofr 4.3 and one for 4.4. I am confused as to since i am on 4.3 version do I flash TWRP 4.3 version? or since i am looking to flash 4.4 rom should i install TWRP 4.4 at first place?

you need 4.4 twrp. It should be 2.7.1 I think. you also need to me sure the Rom is compatible with your phone.

During my first try, i had TWRP for 4.3, which allowed me to flash Echoe Rom based on 4.4 (latest version) for N9005, it even showed me success notification but it never booted past Samsung logo. I then flashed TWRP 4.4 version, but it then wouldn't boot in recovery. i reflashed TWRP 4.3 version and as last resort i had to flash stock firmware.
I will now flash TWRP 4.4 version at first instance and try flashing a rom again. maybe will try a different rom. Thanks for your suggestion :good:

This should be in Q and A don't be surprised if this thread gets closed ..

hello there.
u were sayin u r on 4.3 JB rom.
ur device is N9005 international 32gb right?
let me tell u 1 thing which is a good thing to remember.
4.4 rom will need a 4.4 bootloader.
since u r on 4.3, u must be on 4.3 bootloader which is incompatible with 4.4 rom. flashing twrp for kitkat won't help.
steps that u need to take (easiest) :
1. download 4.4.2 stock firmware.
2. flash with odin v3.09
3. root with cf autoroot (download the KK version)
3. flash custom recovery for KK version (twrp/cwm/ philz). I personally prefer cwm as it has give me less trouble for any custom rom.
4. u can flash any 4.4.2 custom rom now.

THANK YOU!!! This makes lot of sense.:good: I will upgrade to KK first, then custom recovery and then rom. One question? 4.4 is not yet available for my carrier in Australia. can I download and install the Poland version that is floating around internet. Or would you recommend some other.

I prefer UK firmware (BTU).

good luck.

SM-N900V - OF1/OB6 Question

Hi guys,
I've rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP recovery then flashed "cm-11-20160410-NIGHTLY-hltevzw.zip" (223.8 MB) from cyanogen mod download but it doesn't work well (really bad service).
I'm looking for a better ROM but I wonder if I can install OF1 ROMs with a SM-N900V (baseband version ending in OB6). More details: android version 4.4.4, Kernel 3.4.0.
What is the most stable ROM I could install on my phone? Thanks! :highfive:

Sorry guys, but could you answer? Is it possible to install OF1 ROMs on a OB6 SM-N900V? Couldn't find the answer on google/xda forums.

I want flash cm13 for SM-G7105 but.....

My phone is SM-G7105 (HK version)
Android 4.3
PDA G7105ZHUAOF1
How can I root this device? I only find the ways that for Android 4.4.
Then , how can I flash the Recovery like TWRP?
Can I flash this ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3464864
If no, where have cm13 for my device?
I am Hong Kong people, so my English is so bad

Did you try to root with framaroot or tools like these ?
Did you try to upgrade to Android 4.4.2 ?
If your bootloader is unlocked you can try to flash a stock firmware with Kitkat 4.4.2.
I suggest not flashing recovery before updating Android to 4.4.2 as TWRP broke my phone if it wasn't at last stock Version (red lines everywhere and phone heating a lot).
I think you can try flashing the ROM you linked as it is for G7105.
