Bricked my dad's N900W8 (various questions) - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've flashed and root several android phones before and this time I kind a messed up, trying to flash the Enoxys version of the Android 7.1 onto my N900W8 (turns out it was Snapdragon? which. I was able to flash TWRP on the phone and when I try to flash the actual ROM on it, it failed at partitioning the data in ext4. I can probably grab a stock rom (although most of the links are dead now) and flash over it.
My questions:
Does anyone still have the N900 LTE modem that can be flash on N900W8?
Has anyone able to flash the US/Canada varian straight to international version?
Most of the links that I found on the forum for stock firmware had been dead, is there a current "up-to-date" spot to grab the firmware for this old phone?

[Q] Firmware (Modem)

Hi,
Currently my baseband version is N9005XXUDMJ4. Do I need to update (modem etc.) for Android 5.1? I want to use Temasek's unofficial build. If yes, where can I get an up-to-date version that I can flash with Odin?
BTW: This is an Austrian phone.
Update to a lollipop based baseband is the best way for zero issues in future. Yes you can flash by odin, but if your system and bootloader is kitkat. Why not flash a comlete Firmware? Thats the best way..... there are lots of links @ " general" forum .called how to..... blabla lollipop und so weiter.
Thanks, found a link for updating modem and bootloader, but decided to download the full firmware from sammobile. I'll flash a custom rom immediately thereafter, though.

Bootloop after installing new CP Note 4 Lollipop Carrier 3

I wanted to install Alliance Rom for Note 4. I am running Lollipop from Three UK and I have rooted my phone and installed TWRP. I backed up my modem before installing a new modem recommended to install Alliance Rom. BOB4. But I cannot get my phone passed the bootloop even after restoring my backup. Please help.
Non hsl modem file? And many having problems with this cuz different bootloader. I general tip are to first flash latest stock firmware so you get all modems and bootloader. Then flash lp custom rom. Look at sammobile page
What is CP on Odin? If I tell you my Samsung info, can you tell me if I can install Alliance Rom lollipop. I am note sure because my CSC is BOB2

[Q] rooting/to Downgrade unrooted LP S4 i9505, needing Stock KK Rom !?

Hi guys, i am doing this for a friend, hes on offial 5.0.1 LP accidentally updated it and he doesnt like it.
we need to root it and then downgrade Bootloader and Modem then flash a Stock based ROM yes !?
i have fetched latest KK modem/BL from a thread on xda , one with WiFi fix supposedly.. and the latest KK BL as well.
but i cant find a Flashable Stock KitKat Rom anywhere.. can someone help me with this please !?
and maybe link me to the stock Modem/BL as well.. cause i dont wanna brick his phone.
for now i have only Rooted it with AutoRoot.
You don't need to root it in order to be able to downgrade. You might even trip Knox in the process, so you're on the safer side if you don't do that. But as you have probably already done that, you could back EFS up using EFS Professional or terminal, just in case it gets corrupted during flashing.
I'm not completely sure about the downgrade process and what it takes not to brick your I9505, but you can find stock KitKat firmwares (flashable in Odin) here and here. There are some stock KitKat firmwares here as well, but some of them are offline. You can find some firmwares at SamMobile too, but you will probably need to pay to download from there.
Some pre-Lollipop modems can be found here, some more modems and bootloaders here.

Flashing Stock Lollipop Touchwiz ROM?

My Note 3 (SM-N900, Exynos) is currently booting CM 13. I'm gonna sell this phone, so I need to flash the stock Touchwiz firmware that the phone came with out of the box i.e, 5.0 Lollipop.
1. Since my phone runs Marshmallow right now, should I flash a Lollipop bootloader before I flash the stock Lollipop Touchwiz firmware?
2. I'm from India, and I'm a bit confused because there seems to be two firmwares for my region - INS and INU. Which one should I flash?
3. I've been told I should use Odin to flash the firmware, so is there any chance I might brick the phone? or lose the root status?
I'd be grateful if someone could help me out with the above questions. Thanks!
Flashing a stock rom with Odin will lose root. No need to flash anything before flashing stock with Odin.
Use Samsung phone info app from the play store, find the pda and csc. Then match stock rom pda/CSC to the phone.

I only see the info about Product Code, Baseband and Bootloader. The PDA and CSC fields are just blank. What do I do now?
Flash the firmware for your network or the original network .
Boot into download mode, confirm the model, and flash a rom from sammobile.com.

Rooting / TWRP

Heyyo, Slenderman8090 here! I am currently on the newest firmware build that Verizon Sent out. I am downgrading so I can flash/root OB6 Firmware. TWRP doesn't seem to want to flash via ODIN, but I keep getting an AUTH error on ODIN. I am a 3 Year patron of XDA/General Development, and I am not familiar with Verizon and it's lockdowns. So, what ever I can do, please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Slenderman8090
EDIT:
I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT, NOW AROMA DOESN'T WORK ON MY TWRP, WHAT VERSION IS NEEDED?

As far as everything I've been able to keep up with and read, in order for our Verizon (hltevzw) Galaxy Note 3 phones to be bootloader unlocked with a properly functioning TWRP recovery that also handles AROMA files as well, TWRP v2.8.7.0 (4.4 (the Verizon "hltevzw" variant), is the correct/proper variant that you'll need to flash onto your phone instead of the version that you've got currently. Also, it apparently doesn't matter at all whether or not you've already got a newer version of TWRP recovery installed, any newer version after v2.8.7.0 can't flash AROMA. So since you want to flash AROMA files, TWRP v2.8.7.0 (4.4) is apparently the last official version to be released which supports AROMA. I'm not sure why it didn't carry on into newer releases, but I'm sure the devs had a good enough reason for not doing so.
