[Q] Note 3 LDU n900x help

Hello to all holders Live Demo Unit! and the developers out here
I want to summarize in this topic (maybe someone will correct if I'm wrong).
Many guys out there are having LDU unit and few of them might be using it properly but i want to ask people and the developers to help people like me to get it to working properly. I know and want others to know as well that with a Live Demo Unit YOU CAN'T DO PHONE CALLS or TEXT MESSAGING due to its nature. So, we need a custom/stock firmware that will transform Live Demo Unit in to a working tablet note 3 that works on WiFi and for multimedia purposes.
In the beginning when i had it in my hands i upgraded the android to 4.4.2 leading to upgradation of boot loader to newer version and later i came to know that there isn't any going back, you cant downgrade your boot loader.
after installing the firmware with Odin i noticed few issues:-
1. Periodic boots
2.Videos, camera (in video mode), YouTube were not working and as soon as they are opened phone restarts
3.Battery draining issues
4."Network operator" eats battery more other processes (always on the mobile network signal) even in airplane mode
after researching got to know that all the issues were due to modem. i collected all the demo firmwares as well but could got them working , as the modem file (CP_N900XXXUDMK1_LLK_REV03_CL1252918.tar.md5) was not compatible with version higher than 4.3 so in short i was stuck
i downloaded various firmwares stock as well custom and yes cyanogen too but not successful
then i installed cygwinand removed the modem and other files from the stock and thought that it might help in any way but nothing as far
please if any one know how to correct the issue is more than welcome
thanks

AFAIK that is not always correct.
If the LDU has a modem board, you can make it working with phone calls and SMS.
Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to check if your LDU has Modem Board or not? (under MISC INFO section).

@vndnguyen
but it doesnt have a modem in it.i have checked it.

can you please guide me which rom to install.

Step 1. Chech your version of LDU. Snapdragon/exynox. Use phone info samsung from play store.
Step 2. Find the tread in general about the leaked firmware for note 3 ( snapdragon) or exynox ( this variant of note 3 has from today official lolipop) and install by following the instructions. It's all here, just search a little and you'll be fine

i just want my phone to play movies and games . i am currently using 4.4.4 and it reboots and lags just want to get rid of it
what you suggest ???

Stock S5 rom? Nonono
---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------
Find leaked lolipop rom for SM N9005. No other rom!!!!

stock s5 rom for note 3
ok
lolipop rom for SM N9005
will it solve the problem of reboots and video error ?

You will find that rom in general thread! Download odin, firmware and follow the steps described vrey well there ( including pictures). First you need to make your phone to work normally, after that you can try different roms. For now just install a pure samsung rom

[Q] lollipop official stock problems

Hi im a bit of a noob when it comes too this flashing business but i managed to update my i9505 to lollipop using odin and the official stock rom but the problem i have now is my network signal is now terrible where it was good before is ther anyway that a noob like me can fix this issue? Im in uk on giffgaff (o2)
i have never rooted my s4 before and if some one has a noob guide for rooting from lollipop so i can custom rom it up i might give that a look too, I wouldnt mind a nice slim custom rom with a few extra tweeks and without all the google and samsung rubbish that comes standard..
Thanks
P.s sorry for all the questions and sorry if this is in the wrong section

The signal problem is probably caused by the modem.
You have to flash the latest modem for your phone, country and carrier.
If you already are on the latest modem then a lollipop modem might help.
Here you can find a guide on how to root lollipop.
If you want a slim rom you better try CM12 or GPE. If you like touchwiz then look for a touchwiz based lollipop rom around the forum.

Is your phone branded or unlocked? Coz this is very important. UK(O2) still without lollipop update. This is the possible reason that you are receiving weak network signal.

[Q] Lollipop Camcorder N9006

Hi, I'm kind of new to android in general and I'm sorry if I am somehow posting this in the wrong place. I switching through a couple of lollipop roms for the SM-N9006 Note 3 Chinese variant, I found that pretty much every N9005 or N900A works for this phone, but I'm always having issues with the camera recording on these lollipop roms, it either force closes, freezes, or shuts my phone off. I later discovered that my modem needs to be updated to fix this. I tried numerous N9005 firmwares and modems which all gave me some sort of an error on odin, I decided to use to use a N9006 lollipop firmware which successfully flashed. When I checked my baseband number after the phone booted up, it still displays the kitkat baseband and my camcorder still fcs. Could any one provide me with a solution, perhaps an earlier version of the camera app, an unbranded lollipop modem for the note 3, etc?
Thanks in advance

u need to upgrade ur modem from odin and install rom for n900x not N900 or n9005 or u can check note 3 themes and apps u can use camera mod or m9 camera or cm12 camera if u want

Do I need to extract the modem out of the firmware file and reflash it? Or could I just flash one in cwm? Thanks for replying

I fixed it!
Alright peeps, I managed to solve the problem. I first flashed the last Kitkat update for the N9006 from Sammobile, then I just reflashed the lollipop update an now my modem appears updated, video recording works! Thanks for those who took time and looked at this post and those who tried to help me.
I'm not sure..someone please close the thread?

Bootloader unlock = 'No camera found' bug

Okay, thanks to the other members here, I've managed to get to LP .87 with intact IMEI. Now I need a bootloader unlock tool which does not mess up the camera. I've tried several tools but they all end up making an error on camera not being found. I really want to use the MM custom ROMs without the camera bug. Please help me.
Is it possible to flash a recovery with a LB?

Off topic question.. the camera bug appears only when you use roms with lollipop? or it still there when u back to stock rom 4.4.2.

It appears after unlocking bootloader, even if you downgrade. But is is fixable. Check my post on your inquiry.

Some guy said that he fixed his camera with my bootloader unlocker in general section; actually i don't have camera problems at all; so you need to check that and see if it works or not

Is there any possible method to unlock bootloader without camera issue?:crying:

Ja tentei de todas as maneiras, mas nenhuma resolveu meu problema :/
