SM-N900S, K is not affected because of the hlte unified build. It's because of Android 4.4 bootloader(or modem).

And, S4 LTE-A(SHV-E330S) is IDENTICAL with N900S when it comes to this issue.

Trust me, me and my friend have done almost EVERYTHING and could not get it done.

Here's some few things.

- Previous hltexx(not hlte unified build) ROM is also suffers from LTE call receiving.

- Confirmed international SM-N9005 stock ROM also suffers from LTE call receiving. CM is not to be blamed

- Copying telephony-common.jar from stock N900S does not help (endless FC)

- Changing RIL files(binaries & libraries) from stock N900S does not help

- Disassembling N900S, N9005's telephony-common.jar does not includes any "critical" differences

- JB bootloaders & modem users are 100% not affected

- Porting JB modems by altering kernel ramdisk (manual mount of NON-HLOS.img, modem.bin) is making kernel panic every minute (says modem is not initialized)

- Reverting all telephony related commits on CyanogenMod does not help

I've been working on this like weeks.

I'm now thinking of getting a board replacement(and hope for a JB board).

BTW, aren't you Korean?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
It must be the modem then. If it's not caused by anything in CM itself, I don't see where else the difference could be.

Is it not possible to flash a modem from stock 4.3? What about flashing stock-based ROMs from other regions, has that been tried as well?

If those two things are not possible, I agree that there's probably no other option than to get a board replacement at the service center.

It's really strange that at least for me (N900K), everything else works fine. I can even receive SMS when I'm on LTE. The only thing not working is receiving calls, which should be handled by the CSFB, but why on earth does it not work?

[edit:] The dts files for our Korean bootloaders are also different, have you already looked at these?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] arter97:
Flashing stock 4.3's modem via ODIN is possible but weird because the Baseband version doesn't get changed.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Flashing other N9005 ROM from other region would be useless since it's international model and should be not region-sensitive.

Me too, everything is working JUST EXCEPT receiving calls...

Hi there,. just got a korean samsung galaxy note 3 SM N900L

currently its running 4.3

im new to note 3 so im thinking if whats the best thing to do with my phone, i want to install 4.4 kitkat but i search and read that upgrading to 4.4 i cant downgrade back to 4.3,. and if i upgrade to 4.4 and root it, can i still go back to pure stock 4.4? im only interested with the 160 chars and 3x4 kb of 4.4 kitkat,..

thanks for your time reading my post guys,.

than you
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
You are correct. There's no way to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3.

You can root 4.4, and unroot it by flashing a clean stock image through Odin.

You will have your knox flag set to 1 as soon as you root, and there's no way to reset this.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maynard14:
thank you sir... i see.. i bought this second hand so no warranty either... aha..but what do you recommend sir? should i update to 4.4 or just custom rom it? i think my n900l doesnt have any custom rom for 4.4

HSPA/ LTE-A

has any one tried changing its HSDPA release 8 (default) to HSDPA release 9 under carrier hidden menu? if you have did did it affect LTE? im just curious because if i go to a country that has only 3G+ i would think HSDPA release 9 would be better cuz it would uses Dual-Cell + MIMO 2x2 oppose to HSDPA release 8 just only MIMO 2x2 technology. any thoughts?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
I'm not sure if the 4.3 n900l can use n9005 ROMs, as the hardware is a little different. The recoveries are the same, though, so it should be fairly safe to try.

Certainly you should not update to 4.4 if you want to try other ROMs.

However, if you are using the phone on LGU+, you have no other option but stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maynard14:
guess its to late,. i updated to kit kat 4.4 ahah,. but i have no regrets, i like it, but i hope someday they will find a way to manage to hack the kitkat and install other ROM base on kitkat

This ROM based on the European version of the latest N9005 international version of rom production.

N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1_N9005XXUBMJ2_HOME

Because 9005 is the support lte .

The State Bank 's 9006 retail version does not support the hardware I guess are the same, but the system did a shield .

This ROM supports three versions of Korean N900L \ N900S \ N900K

A complete ROOT privileges , the latest suppersu 1.65

2 integrate third-party Recovery Chinese latest version

3 come and go electric attribution

7 google framework both supports the latest Samsung built- painting localization and translation are offline , direct use

8 Transparency weather plugin. Desktop look neater

9 high percentage of digital power .

10 redefines the desktop layout program with the contents of the folder configuration

11 perfect support for long messages.

12 add their own modifications latest version of RE Manager.

13 Add long press the menu button to end the current process , sometimes to the telephone may manslaughter phone from his pocket and took out the process , this version has been on the phone to make a whitelist excluded.

14 join the top right corner clock lock screen , long press the power menu pop-up clock

15 Adding the upper left corner to display network traffic as long as the connection wifi or mobile phone network will be

State Bank added 16 keyboard handwriting input method. That the pen with them very interesting.

17 pen windows add commonly used in software options

still no available rom for the n900l note 3,,, gota sell it if there is no rom for it until now
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
There are some themes you can apply on the stock ROM, but unfortunately other than that there are no ROMs and especially for AOSP/CM-based ROMs there will never be any.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
Hello, it will work when I downgrade to 4.3 and flash Cyanogenmod on my N900L? Also, how do I do that? Thanks.

--
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
You cannot downgrade to 4.3 once you've flashed 4.4. Also, CyanogenMod would not have worked to begin with because the radio is completely different from any other models.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maynard14:
oh that sucks,.. so i should leave it as is, i cant stand sms 160 char limit, huhuh, how about tmobile roms, can i flash them to n900l?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
You can probably get a modified sms/mms package, and maybe the character limit can be passed. But no, you cannot flash tmobile or any other than LGU+ model ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
If they fix the lte calling/messaging issue for cyanogenmod w/ the n900s and K do you think L will work too? Also, if I say that I don't need calling and messaging, will it still work?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
Try this one (jisoo's post)

<br />

Here's one based on the 03-19 CM Nightly: SM-N900S-cm-11-20140319-NIGHTLY-hlte.zip - 208.14 MB.<br />

<br />

If you want to update yourself, you need to extract the new zip you download directly from CM, replace the updater-script and the boot.img file with the ones included in the zip I linked above, and repack everything into a zip file.<br />

<br />

As I said, receiving calls probably won't work if you are on LTE, but I would be very interested to hear if that is the case for you -- I'm on N900K on KT and for me it doesn't work.<br/>
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
I have a question again;

If they fix the LTE issue will it be compatible with the N900L?

If I am able to flash CM but not recive calls and message, looks like L will be supported...

(PS: Happy Children's Day)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
I was browsing through.....

Found a ROM compatible with all hlte variants on 4.3 AND 4.4 bootloaders...

Wonder this will work..?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596887
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
The radio on the n900l and LGU+ network is so different from anyone else that telephony (voice calls and SMS) will never be supported on CM.

The current LTE issue is unrelated to this.

If you are on 4.3 bootloader, yes.

If you are on 4.4 bootloader, it won't boot because the required dt.img and RAM offset inside the boot.img are different on the Korean variants.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
Anyway to fix this? Is there anyway to edit the dt.img and boot.img compatible with this ROM? I got a "Could not do normal boot." in Download Mode.

Flashing stock right now...

Please tell me a way how to edit it. (the format)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
You need to use mkbootimg https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools to unpack and repack existing boot.img.

These tools are fairly straight-forward to use. You need to first unpack the boot.img from the zip file you want to flash.

Then, you need to replace the dt.img. The one our Korean KK bootloaders use is about 850KB. You can use the one from the boot.img from the modified CM build shared here.

dt.img will only need to be updated if the kernel sources change drastically (i.e. there's an updated source drop from Samsung which CM decides to use). You will know that the dt.img needs an update if the device boots otherwise fine but you get a blank screen. If this happens, if you let me know I will provide an updated dt.img.

(You can of course build your own. It's a little more complicated. What you need to do is use the normal kernel sources in CM [or Slim or any other ROM] and make sure the dt.img is built from the korean dts files only. If someone wants to try this and needs some guidance, feel free to pm me).

After you have replace the dt.img, you also need to edit the "img_info" file to adjust the offsets. What you want is the following two values:

You will notice that the N9005 builds have a different value, and that the original dt.img was bigger. These are the two reasons why N9005 do not boot on the Korean KK bootloader.

After you have fixed these two problems, you can repack the edited folder into a new boot.img, and drop this inside your flashable zip.

Topic is slowly upgrated
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
HI, thanks. I am really weak when it comes to these things, can you explain me how to unpack and repack? I am not sure how its done since I can't find detailed how-tos. Also, do you think Lte/call receiving/messaging work on lte?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hyvahar:
Hello!

I just wanna see if I have understood this correctly or not but does the sms and calling problems with the model sm-n900l occur only when in LGU+ network? Since I'm moving back to my home country and continue of course using my operator there, so could I able to flash roms and possibly also enjoy using my phone normally. I guess no 4g is needed, since not planning to pay extra from that back home but remember just seeing one post here that one option is to change the operator. :D

Btw, just out of curiosity, how does the simlocks work here in Korea? Is the phone like forever locked to LG, or does it open after certain period of time or smth? Since I bought this phone as used and actually the guy promised this to be an international model, yet it should work in my home country as well, but perhaps he didn't understand what I really meant with an international model.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thedawg03:
all korean phones are sim unlock for international purposes but you cant switch between korean carriers.i tried using my friends sim card and a few others in korean and i get some unauthorizes carrier message... but when i use it out of korea say philippines pre-paid sim card it works fine.

my note 3 900K has a variety of frequencies and in assuming so should the 900L

these are my bands for LTE/GSM/WCDMA that i know of ,could be more not sure how the whole LTE band numbering system works. they say for examble b1 should be down 2100hz up1900hz

LTE b1,b3, b7, b8

GSM 900/1800/1900

WCDMA 850/1900/2100

First of all thanks to Jisoo and a lot of active contributors to this thread.

I have been trying to update to the latest nightlies but to no avail.

I just wanna be sure , updater-script file is " file_contexts " ?

I replaced both files boot.img and file_context and repacked as zip. Then I select cyanogen update from About phone. Phone was rebooted but installation was aborted then boot was resumed normally with no installation.

Any ideas guys?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
updater-script is in META-INF -> com -> google -> android and you will find updater-binary and updater-script
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gatesofortune:
Hi techcaptain,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

So I just replace the metadata file or both metadata AND otacert file ?

I couldn't find any file with the name "updater-binary" and "updater-script" in that folder

Hi good day. just wanna ask i anyone here has a latest custom rom for SM-N900S?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
I think to update yourself - you do not have to replace those files - just the boot.img and the updater-script.

I am very curious though that you don't have those files - maybe try replacing the META-INF folder from jisoo's CM he uploaded before to the updated CM.

Hey guys,

So I just got my hands on a sm-n900k model and wanted to root it. Using Odin I just used the cf-auto root for the n900 model, I didn really pay attention to all the details. After trying to flash that, I got a FAIL mssage and am Stuck on a Odin mode screen that says:

Any idea what can I do to unbrick it? After some research I understand that I should flash PIT. I'm looking for a stock firmware to do that with, but not luck exact this one (baidu.com/s/1jGA1F98) but it downloads with 1kb/s and no idea if this will work.

Later Edit: I managed to find a correct firmware over here hsh97.tistory.com/296 and installed it with Odin using the PDA option. Works fine now, no root though.
