Did you try manually select the band?
Enter the secret code *#2263# (*#BAND#) and try.

I have also this model of galaxy note 3 but my problem is i cannot send text message whenever my signal becomes lte. There is no network selection option in the settings. Im using smart postpaid lte sim.

SM-N900L no LTE option
Sorry. I just open this topic again. My unit still the same no LTE option or acces. Pls help. Ty

I have the same problem in the Czech Republic.

Can any one provide assistance on this? I was told by a fellow N900L user that using a custom rom aryamod + Lean kernel might help. I do not know how to install custom rom and kernel. Does anyone know how to do this?

any updates on this? I just have may Note 3 2 days ago, and I'm having problem with weak sigal on TM/Globe.
Can it possibly root and flash a custom rom, I'm thinking to have it on Cyanogenmod ROM

First, check that your SIM/Phone provider offers 1. LTE 2. LTE in your area
Secondly, If your phone is a Korean Original, I dont think it will be global-ready... you may have to update the modem & CSC in order to receive the 4G/LTE bands that you are after.
Third, check the reception bands of your phone model and check that your provider/country uses those 3G/4G/LTE bands. (eg: 700MHz, 750, 850, 900, 1600, 1900 etc)

I have had a brief look in my files and dont have your models firmware or modem to send.. I am not sure if SM-N900L has cross-compatibility with SM-N900S for example, I recall something like that or vice versa..
There are a few options;
> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares
- Find and download the firmware appropriate.
> samsung-firmware.org
> Try connecting phone at desktop with Kies, this model may have an update per your area of the globe.

unfortunately there is no available stock firmware for n900L...but it's the same specs with n9005. so i guess i won't be havingg a problem with that stock firmware.
I'm currently running CM13 in my n900L, the rom was for n9005 and other Note3 with the same specs as Snapdragon800 chipset and Adreno GPU

It's work for me, i'm use ALL Band
Thanks bro :good:

[Q] N910QC CSC Difference

Hi guys.
I'm planning to buy Note 4 in my country, Turkey and they sell sth called N910CQ. I heard that they disabled 4G in that model. I'm not sure if it's about that or not because we don't have 4G here yet. My question is, is it ok to flash N910C stuff to N910CQ? I read that the only difference is CSC and I read that it's about Signals. Thank you.

I am using Note 4 N910CQ - Turkcell device running Russian Firmware (N910C). No issues at all. Device does support LTE unfortunately we don't have a LTE connection.
My phone's about screen says it's N910C not N910CQ

Oh great then! So we can flash kernels and roms for 910C. Do you know what are differences between C and CQ?

There is no differences between C and CQ. Q stands for Turkey nothing else. You can flash C rom to your device.
One thing you should pay attention is when you flash a C firmware instead of original CQ FW, model number shows N910C which makes easier to detect odin flashed firmware if you care about warranity. But anytime you can return to stock CQ with no problem.

Question about converting model from sm-n900k to sm-n9005

1. Is it okay if i just dont root the device sm-n900k and just flash the sm-n9005 firmware from sammobile? I just want to try and change firmware because i can't update the version, still stucked at 4.4.2 having some problems with signal, korean apps and the shutter sound of the camera.
Thank you

Personally, I would not try it as it may brick the phone. The 900k uses a Samsung Exynos processor and the n9005 uses a Qualcomm.
http://www.imei.info/phonedatabase/14281-samsung-n900k-galaxy-note-3/

Are there any other site except sammobile that offers firmware? I just want to update my phone to lollipop version but i am also scared to unlock the bootloader because i cant find a guide and btw im not sure if the bootloader is locked or maybe i just can't find a compatible custom recovery for my phone

Traditionally Korean model has had slightly different hardware making them incompatible with international variants (TV antenna for example on the S1/S2). However, at least from forum posts here N9005 custom ROM should work fine, as long as you keep your old modem.
Although, there should be an official 5.0.1 ROM around with a GOF2 ending, considering the existence of a Lollipop bootloader for it. Have you tried just plugging it into Kies and check for update?
(If you want to give it a shot, here is the baseband + bootloader: https://mega.nz/#F!0MNyVboS!XpjPYizNyY7LPZdsepyTFw . Flash this then a 5.0 custom ROM and you should be good to go)
@audit13 N900K is Snapdragon. Exynos doesn't have LTE, but all Korean model has LTE (different bands for different networks though)

@thebulletfromhell, I am not familiar with the n900k and I based my information on the link in my post above yours. I looked at several site and they specifically mention the Exynos. This one also mentions LTE: http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG-SM-N900K-GALAXY-NOTE-3-4G-LTE-BLACK.HTML
I know you can't believe everything you read on the internet. Thank you for the information.

I saw that too, but it was the only site that mentioned it, so I looked further. Info on Korean models are pretty rare in English, as the hardware for the most part is incompatible with Network Bands in the English speaking part of the world, making grey import iffy, and thus no reason to write about them.

N9108V - Note 4 for China Mobile version. 3G and LTE not working in Europe (Greece)

Hello everyone,
A Note 4 N9108V end up to my hands, but after using it i realised it cannot properly operate in my network.
It is a snapdragon variant, single-sim version for China Mobile, has lot of Chinese stuff totally useless if you are outside China and does not have Google apps also.
I manage to root the device, install custom CWM recovery, install a MIUI7 ROM that is quite good, install Google but still have problem with 3G coverage (and LTE ofcourse since in China LTE is different than EU)
I have 3G coverage, but if i will move to another location i will not be able to make calls, and i will also appear as unreachable if someone is calling me. Also data connection will not work. Later, it may work correctly for a while.
In GSM mode is working perfectly
I took it to a local repair center to check for hardware problem, they say that it is probably the baseband (modem) software that is designed specific for the China Mobile network, or there is a bug.
I tried all the available official ROMs and modems for this device (4.4.4, 5.0.1, 5.1.1) but nothing improved.
The only thing i manage to do is to have this amazing phone working only in GSM mode....
It is like having a Ferrari with pedals.
I am thinking if it is somehow possible to load the modem file for the EU model (N910F), and this may "unlock" the needed frequencies to operate correctly. Or even, if it possible to load the entire N910F or similar non-branded Note 4 formware to the phone, since i suppose the hardware is the same.
I tried to load this modem file and the n910F firmware with Odin but is not accepted, the procedure failed.
Any ideas, proposals etc?? (except of hammering the device, this will be my last option) :laugh:
Thanks in advance

Samsung note 4 not getting anything more than 2G

Hey all im totally new to this and i apologise if this has been covered.

So i contacted samsung repair center and was quoted a ridiculous price to repair and i just bout a new one to only find that its not an australian version i have a sm-n910k and my original one is a sm-n910G what can i do i cant get 3g i cant get lte i can only get 2G and minimal bars of service at that if anyone can help any advice atm is great advice thank you all in advance.

Go to settings/mobile networks and set apn settings manually depends on your sim carrier and country.
Just google your sim carrier apn settings and you will find easily.

I have already done apn settings and still to no avail i cant work this out for the life of me the only thing i keep thinking is that this model may not be compatible with my country as i know the sm-n910g is australia and the sm-n910k is korea i think ive bought myself a dud unless theres something i can do software wise idk any input is great imput though :/

Did you bought a new device, n910k or was it a replacement part? If you're comfortable, you can always change the USB port itself. I've done it for my Note 2 before. The USB port should be just a ribbon cable so you don't have to worry about soldering and stuffs like that. The prices are also way cheaper too.

Apparently the usb port is tricky to replace as its apart of the screen as samsung has told me and its a whole new device its the korean version im not sure what to do as the place i bought it from is a long distance away from where i live and i was wondering if there was a way i could install like the sm-n910G firmware to it. Im at my wits end with this and not sure what to do.

Oh right. I forgot about that. It was a simple plug out and in for my Note 2.
The issue right now is that the n910k, most probably does not support Australia's LTE bands. Hence the reason why you can only connect to 2G. You can check out gsmarena for the supported LTE bands for different models.
You can install a stock Note 4 Exynos firmware from another country with a carrier that uses the same LTE band as your carrier. It should be safe as some members here are able to install different firmwares meant for another device on their device, example N910G on N910F provided the CPU are the same.
Go to SamMobile, and find the firmware for Note 4 and you can see a list of Note 4 firmware available for download. You need to do some leg work though to ensure that the firmware you're flashing is meant for the Exynos version and the modem supports your carrier's LTE band.
This video shows what I'm talking about.

Ive found the firmware for a sm-n910g can i use that to go over the sm-n910k? It has the firmware aswell as a csc which i think im going to need to research to know exactly what im doing as i have no clue atm lol but cheers heaps man i feel like im getting closer

No don't install over the n910g over your n910k. N910k is using a different cpu than N910g. N910k uses Samsung's Exynos processor and N910g being a Snapdragon processor. Idk what would happen if you flash a N910G over a n910K but I think it would be considered lucky if your phone would be able to boot up.
Your n910k should be able to run on another firmware meant for an Exynos processor like n910c. I just don't know if, after installing over your 4G would work because of different LTE bands. But this website says there's a chance it might work.
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/zYzu9/samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910c/australia
Usually in most cases, when a user accidentally installs a firmware meant for another variant, assuming they would get past the samsung boot up scene, they would not be able to get any network connections. This is due to different firmwares having different modem files for the different LTE bands. However if you were to install over a firmware with the same internals as your current device and more or less uses around the same LTE bands, it should work.

Here you go. It's every firmware ever listed. You need to create an account before downloading though and the download takes forever. You can install the firmware when your phone is in download mode using Odin via your computer.

You can try a random one. Preferably one without a telco. Example, N910C and not N910C (telco name). It shouldn't matter much as the difference would be that the one with a telco would come preinstall with the telco apps. Also, preferably from a English speaking country because usually the language would be based on country.
I would recommend you to download the original firmware for the n910k in case if this fails, you would be able to fall back to the original firmware.
