hello, i have some questions that stuck in my mind and i need an answer
first, i live in Algeria. and the coming I9505 are from different varies. i mean some are from Germany, and some from France (Orange)...Etc
so, here's my questions:
1. what worst can happen when i flash for example (I9505XXUHPK2) firmware, but the original phone firmware is (I9505XXUHOJ2)?
2. why Samsung made all these Basebands & Firmwares? and what's the difference between all these?
They are for different carriers/countries.
If your phone is carrier locked, and you flash the firmware from a completely different carrier, you will have no signal.

Okay, but there won't be any hardware issues? Or the phone won't even boot if I flash another firmware?

I'm running Golden eye rom. And my baseband is I9505DXUAMDM. The problem is, i'm having trouble with the network. When the phone gets idle, then i use it, it has no network and takes while to have it back in. Idk but when i bought this phone, it was only locked by Globe(sim) which i was using globe as well. So i believe it doesnt have anything to do with that carrier locked thingy. TIA.

I am using the MJ5 modem on most of the 4.3 and kitkat roms and I am not having any network drops.
Since the 4.3 update, old modems are getting network drops. So you need to update your baseband. Try MJ5.
Btw I'm locked to Globe as well.

Yep just download the MKE and MJ5 earlier on that thread.
So, just flash it then? No need to reinstall everything?

just flash it via odin , and make sure to turn off your phone manually before reaching download mode.
Want to do this right, so thought i would ask before diving in.
found a new firmware update from sammobile.
got custom recovery, rooted, supersu and titanium.' backup.
if I flash via download mode and ODIN, will it wipe my phone?
how to do this right without loosing everything? just use titanium and backup system apps etc and give it a whirl?
It won't erase anything. But you will lose custom recovery and root. All apps will remain.
ah, excellent. then just rerootwith chainfire auto root and flash recovery again.. thanks..
Btw, I`m in norway. and noticed this release now, http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/41069/N910FXXU1ANK4_N910FTEN1ANK1_TEN.zip/
but it is more recent firmwares than this. would it be safe to flash a newer rom than this, f.ex an unbranded rom from italy etc? or would i be asking for trouble.?
You can flash newer from other regions with no problems.

I recommend flash the firmware related to the CSC (region code) of your device for avoid problems. You can install this app for know your CSC very easy and flash the latest firmware via ODIN for your note 4: HERE

Meant to reply and not to thank cause I don't agree with you. Csc is interchangeable.
As long as you don't try to downgrade and the firmware is for your specific model then no problems should arise. Been doing it for years with every samsung I have had since the original i9000. Don't know what you have done to come up with those problems.
The only way I see a problem is if you tried to flash a firmware that specifically was asking for a pit file to repartition and you didn't comply. Then yes, there I can agree.
And I'm always speaking of original firmwares.
Cheers

It is ok. Ty for your explanations but i still without agree with you :highfive:
Most of Europe uses the F model. Some countries import the C variant. If you flash the correct one for your model it won't cause you any problems. Doesn't matter if it's Italy's Germany's or any eu state just as long it is for the intended model. I don't know if it applies globally though.
If i set my phone info to original via wanam than i got software update, is it possible to update?

I coudn't install a firmware for a different CSC for my SM-N910H, it always fails at the end of odin flash, I am not the only one with this problem. I read somewhere that you can't install a ROM with a different CSC for some of Note 4 variants.
Hi guys, so I deccided to update my Kitkat to the new Lollipop. Biggest msitake this week. Its been 4 days that I've been tryign to fix this with no luck.
So I lost my LTE connection and I cannot get it back. I flashed so many modems and bootloaders with no luck. Some will give me 3g but never LTE even though the modem says LTE on it. Random reboots. Can someone please help!?

1. This seems problem of the custom ROM. You can ask in the correct thread of the custom rom or simply flash stock lollipop (step 2).

There is no Lollipop for mine. There is only 4.4.2? What do I do here?
And isn't there a way for correcting this without reflashing stock ROM?

You can flash UK Lollipop firmware if is unlocked. They use the same Bands for 4G:
- Australia -> 4G LTE Optus 1800/2300Mhz.
- UK -> 4G LTE 800/1800Mhz/2600Mhz/3500/3600Mhz.

I never flashed my radio when i changed my rom, how did you flash? and whats your model number? chances are you flashed a radio not native to your region
Here is the video with what's happening (sorry for the potato quality): /watch?v=3wnC-GIZHWs
Does anyone have an idea about this? I've tried reinstalling the firmware with Samsung Kies, no luck. Tried the same with Odin with a firmware from sammobile, still no luck. I don't have a warranty for it and I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

do exactly the same thing, but tick UPDATE BOOTLOADER, after (if) it boots, use SamMobile's app to determine if Modem and Bootloader are updating...

Im not sure, seems a lot like hardware issue.
Did your phone come branded, like Tmobile and Vodefons stuff?

Yea, it came locked in Vodafone, I unlocked it at a nearby GSM service. I'll take it there to see what the heck it's happening since I can't solve it myself. Thank you all for the support.
Try this...
Find the PIT file for branded phones (branded = carrier roms such as vodfona, etc)
Get SamFirm and download a branded 5.0.1 BOL3 rom, it'll download it in 4 tar.md5 files rather then one. Make sure it's a vodafone rom, it may be a csc issue.
Good luck...
I know that the AT&T and T-Mobile variant of the S7E can use the custom international firmware, but can our variant do the same? Like can I use any of the SM-G935U or SM-G935F, I know this is a newbie question, but I'm asking because I had a S4 and I could load custom roms on my S4, but I'm not sure about now since I switched to iphone then switched back.

So I'm guessing that the SM-G935F firmware is something I can't install on my SM-G935V, since its using different hardware than my phone? (Kinda wanted to ask because theres more selection on the F firmware than the U firmware

You're right. The F cannot be installed unless someone finds a way to port it over but the U firmware can be flashed without a problem.

From what I've seen that is correct. There are different roms available for each carrier as well if you plan on swapping a lot.
