[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Not all true. You can port ROMs and in some cases via system.img or flashing the system partition(s) with an app like FlashFire or from a root shell, you can 'dd' boot, recovery or system.imgs. for example, my Amazon HD 10 was built from the factory image of the Nexus 6, Project Fi LVY48F so I can port nearly everything from that img to my system.
[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
This is a cavalier statement that should be consumed with a large gain of salt. Yes, custom ROMs adapted for one system can be ported to similar platforms with sufficient time, knowledge and willingness to deal with numerous issues that typically arise from such excercises. Perfect for those with copious time, and perhaps a device or two, to burn. If new to the munge game be sure to leave a trail of durable bread crumbs for recovery from the abyss.

tl;dr - not advised; noobs beaware.
[General Questions and Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
If you mean a link to the stock ROM you'll find it e.g. here. However, a web search will provide you with other locations, too.

And I suggested to follow @Ibuprophen's and @SubwayChamp's advices you above and below your post.

I concur I'd have stated "...anything else might brick the device...", and I'm going to edit my post accordingly. However, does my statement really contradict yours? What is the end state of the process or operation of porting a ROM by whatever means? A functionable ROM, which is originally built for a different device, modified to work on another device (or in other words: dedicated for this other device). I hope you concur that the original ROM is most likely not going to work on the other device without porting it.

And I can only reiterate what @Davey126 truely stated.

Hi All,

Hope you are fine. I just want to update my device's modem and firmware files. I am using Note 4 (N910C). I checked from samdb.org and sammobile.com for files. There is no available my country in the list. Which should i select for my device?

P.S: I am using LOS 14.1

I am waiting your experiences.

Thanks in advance.

To have an updated modem is usually a good idea; however, I personally stick with even mature ones as long as they don't make trouble. Why to change a running horse.

Regarding "your country": By my information, CSC only matters if you're on stock Sammy. As you're using LOS I'm convinced you don't need to care.
[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
We've made a discovery on a certain device. It was known to have only one 'lk' partition. We've now found it actually has two; lk and lk2. This is according to props set at build which account for all partitions., Including this lk2. By all other accounts, using shell commands and file managers, this lk2 partition does not exist.

So do we in fact have a previously unknown kernel partition on this android device? If so has it been hidden or deleted? How would one potentially go about restoring or accessing it?

Thank you for your interest. As i understand i can use any modem file for my N910C. I have one more question. My current baseband is N910CXXU1DPI1 and [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] advised me N910CXXU2DRC1 and i downloaded, then installed.

My question is; as i know version numbers are going in alphabetical order. My baseband is starting with XXU and when i checked from sammobile.com or samdb.org the latest version is

U is coming after S. I mean which one is the latest version? N910CXXS2DRL1 or N910CXXU2DRC1?

Any idea how long does it usually take to complete this encrypting process? It's been more than 3hrs now and its still the same. The time remaining hasn't also change from 00:00 ?

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Its fine now. I turned the phone off and boot to recovery and factory reset again. It went to encrypting again but automatically skipped to continue booting up. Thanks again
[General Questions and Answers] Oswald Boelcke:
First, please allow me to share my personal best practise: Unless I experience problems I don't change my modem (or baseband as it's called) even if I remain on a mature one.

Second, you're correct: Bootloader and baseband are numbered in alphanumerical order.

Now to the topic itself: If your modem was N910CXXU1DPI1 and @Ibuprophen advised you to use N910CXXU2DRC1 then this is the later one. Now to the point, by the information on sammobile.org you cannot recognise the modem/baseband version.

I use my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE+ (SM-G901F) as an example (please refer to screenshots). Sammobile provided following information:

PDA: G901FXXU1CRH2

CSC: G901FDTM1CQJ1

where "DTM" is the "actual" CSC or also called product code.

I downloaded the respective zip-file, which is named: G901FXXU1CRH2_G901FDTM1CQJ1_DTM.zip

Now, when you unzip this file you get a file called "G901FXXU1CRH2_G901FDTM1CQJ1_G901FXXU1CQC1_HOME.tar.md5", and here you are able to recognise the baseband version that is "CQC1" in my case (by the way with the bootloader CRH2).

If interested how to retrieve the baseband (and bootloader) from the stock firmware, here's an excellent guide for the SM-G901F but it might work for your N910C, too (if the firmware is built the same way. It doesn't apply e.g. to my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE, GT-i9305).

EDIT (2018-12-28): Just for completeness I attached a screenshot of a stock Samsung firmware that comes with five "parts". It's for a Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F), and again you cannot recognise the baseband just from the file name ("G950FXXU4CRJ5_G950FOVF4CRJ1_VD2"). As you can see, the baseband is CRI9. The meaning of the different files is by my knowledge as such (refer also to here):

CSC (Country Specific Code or Consumer Software Customisation) - It is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and APN setting.

BL (Bootloader) - As its name implies.

AP (Application Processor or probably "Android Partition" [PDA in earlier Odin versions]) - Android or System.

CP (Core Processor) - The Modem or Baseband.

One disaster led to another

I have a Verizon galaxy note 5. Thinking I was deleting one photo, I accidentally deleted my whole camera folder. I tried using a 3rd party PC program to retrieve the deleted files. When the retrieval process hung up at 90% finished I started looking for information about the program and found that it doesn't work without the phone being rooted. So I figured my photos were lost (gutted about that, lots of grandkid pics there) and restarted my phone. But now when I boot my phone, the start screen has an icon of a unlocked lock with the word custom under it. There are 2 new icons on my notification bar, one says VO))LTE and the other kinda looks like two chat bubbles mashed together. My Verizon data is spotty at best and when I try to open my secure folder it says that it's been locked because of unauthorized software on my phone. I guess my question is, did the file retrieval software root, or try to root, my phone? The software was marketed as file retrieval and did not say anything about rooting. Is there anyway to get the phone to a state where I can get back into the knox secure folder? I don't have a problem rooting the phone, just would have been nice to have a heads up to back up the secure folder. Also, I now get a notifcation that says "Security notice: Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any changes" nothing happens when rebooting.

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

PS Anyone have an idea on the new notification icons and how to get rid of them?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I know that on my KFHD7, the way it is rooted involves installing a "second" bootloader and that the Amazon OS is backed up and stored in a "hidden" partition that isn't actually hidden and hasn't been removed or "flashed over", the original OS is still installed, it just doesn't get a chance to boot because the second bootloader interrupts the stock OS during boot and boots the OS that you've installed, the custom OS runs "on top" of the Amazon OS, so to speak(that's also why my kindle runs so slow with anything newer than lollipop and also why I can see a discrepancy in how much available space I have left, the original OS or its backup are taking up that space, therefore, the device shows less space than it should have). The ROM you install is not installed over the original OS, it is flashed to a separate partition created when the second bootloader was installed. The original OS might be the "ghost" partition that you mention because the way it is partitioned, the custom ROM does not have direct access to the partition that the original OS resides in, but it can be accessed by more complicated methods.

If the other Kindle Fire devices are rooted and flashed in the same manner, it would explain what you are seeing.
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
[MENTION=9593734]pol-der[/MENTION], [MENTION=7408621]Oswald Boelcke[/MENTION] is correct regarding the CSC (Country Specific Code), aka Product Code, for your device.

If you look at the SamMobile image you had posted, you'll notice the various different "Country/Carriers" at the top left of each Firmware listed. Those are the CSC's/Product Code's.

The importance of those, especially the Modems, is that those updates for each CSC has their own carrier frequencies.

For example... If you had flashed one from "Saudi Arabia" and you/your device is from somewhere else in the world, you could "potentially" experience issues with your Carriers Towers because the way the Modem connects to the Saudi Arabia towers may/could/might not necessarily be the same from where you're actually located in one form or another.

I'm not stating that it won't work or you will have issues as much as the potential of the possibility of experiencing them (it could vary from minor to major issues).

I hope I explained this okay via text... :thumbup:

Good Luck!

That is what my kindle already does, that is what the 2nd bootloader is for. If you mean, be able to boot between the stock Amazon firmware or what ever custom ROM you install, that I don't know. The way Amazon twisted up their OS, it doesn't like to play well with other kids on the block, if you know what I mean, but it can be forced to get along if you stuff it at the back of the bus and shut its mouth and leave it there to sit quietly while the cool kids get to play.

Thank you very much. I haven't said much about this because I have only seen a few instances in binary files that mentioned dual booting. I don't mean any ROM. One would have to be built for it or ported. I have that taken care of if I could get it to flash. There is an app that could be adapted to fit the HD 10 that allows for dual booting, and now potentially any amazon tablet that's rooted can have a custom room without pissing fireOS off. If that partition just has the base os on it, then it may be easily wiped or replaced. Now how to access it..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The reason why my version of fire hd was rooted and flashed with the 2nd bootloader is because the bootloader is locked on my version. Locked bootloader won't allow replacing the OS, that partition is effectively dead as far as manipulating it in any kind of way. But, locked bootloader can be tricked with tools such as the 2nd bootloader on my version or Safestrap Recovery(these two tools are very similar) as on other locked bootloader devices that can't be unlocked or have modified system partitions.

The process involves interrupting the boot sequence at just the right moment, then it kinda "freezes" the stock kernel and OS right before they load, then it slips in the 2nd bootloader which then boots the recovery or ROM depending on which one you're booting.

You could probably dual-boot something, but it wont2 be by removing or replacing the stock OS, you'll have a 100% brick then. You might be able to recover it with a fastboot cable though.

The stock system can't be touched, but you can sure slide another in past it while it still has its eyes closed.
