Help me figure this out

Hey I just bought my galaxy note 4 from my country's carrier yesterday and it started with lollipop right out of the box and it had some issues like old galaxy apps which wouldnt update so I did factory reset and solved that out. I find it not normal that it wasn't running kitkat. And I also noticed that my basedband version differs from my build number. What does this mean exactly? Also there is a section at the bottom of my about device which says configuration version not available. Please good ppl help me out to figure this out. And just to repeat, the device is bought from the official carrier's store. I'm applying screen shots .

Problem when updating to Official Lollipop

Hello everybody, I don't know what to do, I'm trying to update to Lollipop (I'm comming from Stock android ROM on my device), the phone do the necesary stuff and when it reboots it stays the same, no lollipop installed, no error message either. The phone is exactly the same as before. What could be the problem?

Are you on kit Kat 4.4 right now?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Yes, it is on KK.

How are you updating? Are you using OTA(a notification that tells you that there is an update available)? Or are you flashing factory images via fastboot?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so have you rooted or installed a custom recovery?

I would flash stock 4.4.4 system partition image in fastboot and give the ota another go.

FAQS and GUIDES.are stickied learn the basics .
Baseband is not relevant .
You require firmware not baseband .

So this means I can flash different roms with different baseband?

1. Install this APP.
2. Go to the tab: CSC Code and look for the Active CSC Code.
3. (with computer) Go to Sammobile and look for the 3 letters of your CSC (This will be the original and CORRECT firmware for your device).
4. Download, unzip and flash it via ODIN.

Thanks for the instructions, will try it when I get home

Bootloader woes

Just received my replacement Moto Style from insurance company naturally I wanted to root it like my previous Style was.
OEM unlock has been activated
USB debugging has been activated
Adb works
fastboot works
Unlocking bootloader does not generate a token
I keep getting "remote signature verify fail"
No matter how many times I've tried it will not work get past this.
Stuck on 5.1.1 and it won't ota update to MM either as my device is upto date
Any ideas how I can get past this bootloader problem?

Try with unknown resources enabled
PS: You could try hard reseting...

Had this email from Moto support, will have to give it a try, if all else fails I'll be sending it back to get it sorted

Help with bootloader unlocking (sm-w900w8)

I want to get a custom rom but im pretty new to bootloader unlocking....i know my phone has it locked because Kingo root was removed on reboot BTW my phone is a note 3 from canada AKA sm-w900w8 (sorry if i posted in the wrong place this is my first time here at XDA)

w900w8 ? n900w8 ?
If it's really locked, don't you think that by now there is tons of info on the web ? The phone is not from yesterday.

Why don't you Read the N900w8 ??? Thread in general section or search XDA .
Bootloader locked sorry I know nothing about that on your model are you sure you have the right model .Boot to download mode to check model .

Question one.
Is your phone a model with a locked bootloader.
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Yes

Boot to download mode it will show the actual model of your phone .

The Canadian Note 3 sm-n900w8 does not have a locked bootloader. For a custom ROM, flash TWRP and flash the ROM from TWRP.
The phone doesn't support fastboot commands.

Thanks! once you told me that it really helped thanks audit13!

Thanks for the heads-up. No wonder when I tried to install ADB & Fastboot, the installation couldn't be completed. Now I can root with CFAR and install TWRP on my Canadian Note 3 SM-N900W8 with confidence. :good:
