How do I know which bootloader do I have? I'm currently running build B35.
Can someone direct me to a thread how to flash universal bootloader and modem?
If I use bkores flash toolkit, it said you have to flash universal bootloader, modem along with Rom and Gapps but in which order?
If using twrp for future flash do I need to flash universal bootloader and modem every time I switch ROM?
I'm not an expert but here's what I understand.
1. You don't have to worry which version you have unless you're flashing a custom ROM, usually for Nougat you want the B15 and for Oreo you want the B35.
2.Universal Bootloader>Modem>ROM>GApps>Magisk/SuperSU
3.You only need to flash it once if you're switching ROMs with the same android version.

If you haven't you need to unlock your bootloader before you can start flashing custom ROM. You can find a guide on how to do it here.

Hi there,
just got my hands on this international Note 3 and looking to root it and install a custom rom. I think I got all the information and softwares on how to root and flash custom recovery. but I'm just not sure if I need to upgrade my bootloader before flashing a custom rom? I don't even know what bootloader i'm on. but I do know that I'm still on 4.3 stock.
please let me know of anything that I need to do before flashing a custom rom.
thanks so much!

ok thank you!
I tried using kies to upgrade to 4.4 as i figured that would be the easiest way, but keep getting an error, so I do need to flash stock using odin. but I'm so confused as to which one to download. right now when I fire up kies, it shows this:
current firmware version: PDA:MJ7 /PHONE:MJ7 /CSC:MJ6 (ZTO)
Latest firmware version: PDA:NG3 / PHONE:NG2 / CSC:NG3 (ZTO)
can someone let me know which firmware I need to download from sammobile.com?
thanks so much.
oh please disregard. I didn't know sammobile.com had a place where we can search by country, etc. it's really cool. so I found what I needed.
thank you.
I was able to do an OTA update, so now I'm on kitkat 4.4; so my question is, now do I need to do anything for preparation in order to root?
thanks.
nothing to do
flash cf auto root and you re done...
thank you! you guys are great!
This should be an easy question to answer for those of you that have had this device for any length of time. I am a new nexus user, I just received it yesterday, in fact. Here is my current setup, Android N beta program ota (latest) with unlocked bootloader, twrp, and systemless root. My question is, can I flash any rom of my choosing, marshmallow based or otherwise or do I need to be on stock marshmallow to start flashing the current roms? I ask this because I'm not sure if I'm on the correct bootloader, etc.....
Thank you in advance.

The latest Marshmallow build uses the same bootloader and radio as the Android N Developer Preview, so nothing to worry about there. You would need to flash the correct vendor image for the build that the ROM (you want to flash) is based on. This is standard procedure when flashing a ROM on this device anyway though.

It's simple boot into recovery and make a back up of your stock Rom in case anything goes wrong. Download any custom Rom but make sure you are on the correct modem and bootloader before installing

Hi, i have a xt1621 non plus, i've unlocked for rooting Marshmallow, but now i have the Nougat Stock rom 25.93.14-4 via stock recovery. I've read in other threads that i need the latest stock rom for my device to re-lock the bootloader. I can't find the rom.
Now, when i downgrade to Marshmallow, the update to Nougat 25.93.14-14 appears, but is possible to re-lock with the OTA update?
Regards.

No, you need to flash the images via fastboot and then run the lock command. There are explicit instructions on this forum.
