Here's the stock NC4 tar file. This is not rooted, just pure stock NC4. Don't flash unless you want to lose root for possibly EVER! http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963309

Extracted the modem and made a flashable tar. Flashed fine on my phone. Though be forewarned, this is the first time ever doing this. :D

Of course extract the modem.tar.md5 from the .zip file and flash in odin.. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963349
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
I have the DE as well when you got to settings about phone does it show that your baseband has changed after flashing these modems? Mine never does I'm on the mje baseband that never changes even though Odin shows it has flashed. When I got my phone stock it was actually on mj3 not mje I have yet to see anything posted anywhere about a mj3 modem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
So we can run any modem on any firmware? We just can't odin back to an older firmware than MJE?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
I you haven't already tried this, boot into download mode from phone off. For many users it seems to make a difference with a new modem "sticking", when flashing via Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Thanks bud it worked!! :highfive: Something different that time it said "Gathering PIT info".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
Yes, and change the cable.

I did follow instructions from the droidforums link. I had also some bad downloads.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Did you have a bad cable? So far NC2 is better than NC4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
Yea I did. I got a usb 3 solid cable. I don t like the one tha came with the phone.

For me mje is clearly better. I will stay on mje for now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mjh68:
Somebody in another thread said he is running the mi9 modem on Kit Kat. So I think you can flash the older modems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] elidog1:
Correct. I'm trying out the NC4 modem right now. I plan on trying them all to see which one gives me the best reception in my crappy area.

I tried nc4 modem yesterday. Seemed faster for a little while, then started dropping data. After 3 drops in 45 minutes I flashed nc2 again. No drops since.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dougdirt:
Wow, thanks for that link.

I'm going to get back on KK and use the MJE radio and should be a happy camper.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
So, I just Odin'd my phone back to MJE, for like the 20th time since I've owned it, lol, and for some reason, it still says "Custom" on the boot screen. Did I manage to trip KNOX? I don't care if I did, but should'nt it NOT say Custom after I Odin back to bone stock? It's never done it before, just this time....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mirrin:
Not sure but does not mean Knox is tripped to see that you need to go into download mode but I think all the kk rooms show that custom lock on boot.

Yes and baseband and kernel.

If you don't want root. KIES3 can update you to NC4 also.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Grompy:
Make sure to check md5. Reflash. You may need a pit file and to check repartition in odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] moin786:
Ok im redownloading the NC4 firmware and i will try to reflash it...Should i go into Recovery mode > Wipe Data Factory reset > Wipe cache then reflash the firmware???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anticloud:
Simply do factory reset after flash

Whenever I get stuck on the bootscreen, just sits... it usually means things are not clean, even from a straight up flash -

Simply do factory reset after flash, turn off unit; turn it on - should work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Craleb:
so does anyone have a verdict on which Modem works best? I am on NC2 and I'm not sure if I'm imagining things but i feel like i had better signal on MJE. anyone have any input?

thank you :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
I flashed the NC4 baseband to see if 3g was better while at work. I am in a factory and NC4 was better the 2 days I tested it. It's also a bit better at home and around town on 4g. So yea I think NC4 is better than NC2. Could just be my area though. You can always go back to the baseband you want. Give it a shot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Craleb:
Thanks. I just flashed NC4. Went smoothly. I will come back and let people know how I think it compares just in case anyone cares

Edit: this morning I can already tell I have slightly better 4g signal. I work back in a "cash office" with no windows and very thick walls and used to only get 1 bar. Now I have 2-3 :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] moin786:
I just did the factory reset after flash, now things are ok... thanks!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] elidog1:
I've been on nc4, nc2, and mje. I've had the best success with mje. Nc4 was the absolute worst for me. Reflashed mje night before last and it has done much better indoors for me. I work in the middle of no where cow country and its been nice to be able to use my phone for it's most essential purpose...to make calls and text. My 2 cents.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Craleb:
Ok I'm back. Although nc4 was better than nc2 for me I ended up going back to MJE because I kept dropping 4g and only getting 3g.

Root Questions

Hello,

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 that I flashed over to Boost Mobile and I'm running the stock android 4.3

I was trying to root my phone and so far from what I've read KINGO is the way to go.

So my question why do you have to install the MJE firmware before rooting? What is the advantage and do you have to do it?

I'm asking in this forum because this has a collection of all the Modems and tars, so I'm trying to find out if I really need the MJE firmware or can I just stick with the stock one I have. I'm mainly trying to root my phone so I can update my PRL settings.

Also if someone can explain the advantages of having custom Roms and what are the advantages and where can I install those?

The link to forum that I was using to root which I mentioned above is:

Is there a flashable tar for the NC2 modem? I need the rom not the modem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Yes, it's in the OP (original post).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Jstrick5:
Running CM11 and MJE on a Dev Edition. Multiple times a day I notice my data completely drops out and I have to toggle data off/on to get a connection again. Is this a known issue at all with CM/Radio combination or with a dev edition? Have searched but haven't found much of anything related to others seeing this or a possible fix.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MichaelMcC:
I'm on KK NC2 and having poor modem speeds. Do any of the other modems work better? Also supposedly xlte is live in my town. Should the current nc2 modem support that? I'm getting speeds from 1 to 4 mbps tops. And when on the original rom I was pulling 20 mbps. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Modem results will vary completely from user to user and area to area. I'd recommend trying out MJE & NC4 - both tars are linked in my thread below in my signature. See which one works best for you and stick with it - being on the latest modem isn't necessarily the recipe for success.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robroy90:
Help Please...

I have a Dev unit and I had it running NC2 w/ lean kernel but it just was not stable. It would spontaneously reboot at least once a day.

So, I thought I would try the new Hyperdrive KK Rom, along with Hashcode's kernel instead. I am not quite sure what went wrong, but now I can't even get the device to boot into recovery. After I flashed, it will just sit at the boot splash screen.

I guess I need to roll it back to 4.3, and I did find the dev edition .tar file that Beans created, but won't I need to flash back to a 4.3 bootloader also? I can't seem to find a dev-specific 4.3 bootloader file to flash in Odin. I am on a 4.4 BL now because I was running the NC2 leak.

Thanks, please advise.

-Rob
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
I'm not sure what "NC2 leak" you flashed. Can you be more specific?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robroy90:
I was successfully running the NC2 posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726558

I guess I just am really confused on what went wrong, and more importantly, how I can fix it. I can't even get into a custom recovery. I have tried flashing TWRP 2.7 and Philz in Odin and the flash completes, but then the phone won't boot into it. All I can get it to do is go into download mode to run Odin. Should I re-partition it?

Thanks, just looking for guidance on what to do to recover.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Go back to that thread, to the original post and read the line that says "Requirements: This build is compatible with ONLY the Retail Note 3". You missed that, or didn't understand what it meant.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but when you flashed that file you transformed you DE into a retail device. And there is no way to go back. No custom recovery possible anymore. You'll have to use Hashcode's safestrap. So you will have to Odin a stock Touchwiz tar.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robroy90:
No offense intended, but I am sorry to tell you that you do not know what you are talking about. I don't think you understood.

Scroll down. Post 2 specifically gives Dev Edition specific instructions.

I am since happy to report that I still have a DE device, and my issue wasn't with the NC2 leak. The issue was from trying to upgrade from it. After some further research and trial and error, I used the .pit file to re-partition my device. I then installed the MJE recovery .tar that Hash made. That got my device booting again.

I then was able to flash the NC2 leak again, and this time I used Hash's kernel instead of lean kernel. That is where I sit at this moment and I will see how stable it is to see if the issue is with the NC2 leak, or the lean kernel.

I hope this helps someone else who found themselves stuck where I was.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
You are right, and I did not read far enough in the post. I am glad that you resolved your problem, and still have a DE. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

Every one is super confused when people are asking for this request:

Where can I get a stock NC4 tar?

What we mean by this, in the OP there are FULL tar's for MJE and before. These files are GIGABYTES and has the ENTIRE android system.

Where is the one for NC4/NC2?

The modem tars are 30mb or 58mb, NOT at least 1 gigabyte.

My phone isn't booting into recovery, it's just going back to the boot screen so I need to completely reinstall android.

Safestrap never comes up, it just shows Galaxy Note 3 screen, all I have access to is Odin Download mode.

I need to flash into the AP slot in Odin the stock NC4 tar that is over 1 gigabyte.

Where is this file please?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Grompy:
you want to flash mje then safestrap install nc2 rom then flash the nc2 firmware. even though root is now available on nc4, there are some disabled settings in nc2 that may allow for kexec support. unless you are already on nc4 then look around post 120 to 200 I posted up in this thread somewhere.

For anyone who screwed up and wound up on NC4 because the took the update or were forced to recover for some reason there is a root method now. I have Verizon Note 3 and was on NC2 till I screwed something up on accident and had to use the Verizon software repair tool. The link below explains the new tool. It's just an apk you install and run. Cluck one button the phone reboots and your done. It says it works on pretty much anything with a kernel dated prior to June 3rd including the S5.

hey folks,

Hoping someone can help me out. Ever since upgrading to the latest BajaRom with NC2, the modem/radio has sucked big time. I get less signal where I used to, on the fringes, inside buildings, etc. I get a lot of NO SERVICE indicators. Very frustrating. So then I found this thread and tried some other modems, so NC4, which was much worse, and now I"m on MJE. MJE is somewhat better but I'm still getting horrible up/down speeds but the signal strenght appears to be somewhat better, but still nowhere where it was before the upgrade to Android 4.4.2.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

added nc4 modem and full stock tar to op
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thepolishguy:
Curious.

"Full stock tar". Is this file directly from Samsung? I mean - does it have to be "altered" in any way by someone before we use it? Or is it just as it comes directly from them?

Just curious is all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thepolishguy:
So I Odined NC4 just to test it out (I was already on NC4 rooted) to see if it restored my system and proper baseband (I rolled back to MJE to see if it helped).

I lost root and restored NC4 baseband.

But it did not wipe my device clean. I was glad actually. But then I was wondering if it was supposed to completely wipe my device? I thought it was?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:
straight from samsung kies :)

ya for some reason kies tars havent been wiping data lately but u can do that in stock recovery to ensure a full fresh install if you want
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thepolishguy:
Thanks for the answers and for all you are doing.

Another question... Under...

settings /about /status /device status

It still says custom. I thought Odin would "fix" that? Is it because I Odined the MJE baseban?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:
did u reroot? if not then its possible it could be because it doesnt have same baseband as base
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thepolishguy:
I did NOT reroot. I used Root Checker to confirm I was not rooted. I guess I can Odin the NC4 baseband and just see what that does. I'm not really worried about it. I just thought it would be official/normal (whatever it says).

After flashing the latest NC4 Stock ROM in ODIN...during the first boot,,,the device never initializes and gets stuck on the Verizon logo...(waited for 25 minutes)

Then i have to remove battery, go to recovery mode and then Factory reset data, wipe cache partition, reboot and the device initializes properly...

I tried to flash Stock NC4 2-3 times and same thing happens everytime...Did someone else face same problem...

This problem was not there when flashing Stock MJE Rom...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thepolishguy:
I have only flashed NC4 one time in Odin. But I did not have the problem you are talking about. Which Odin did you use? I used 3.09 from the OP and did not run into what you are talking about. But I was on NC4 when I Odined NC4. If that matters. Not sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] moin786:
I use ODIN 3.09 always,,,i was on MJE earlier and when Official NC4 was released...i downloaded the Stock ROM and flashed in ODIN...after flashing, the device automatically reboots but gets stuck on the giant red screen with verizon logo...i waited for 25 minutes and rebooted but still it gets stuck on the same spot...so later i went to recovery mode and do factory reset and wipe cache then only the device works fine...dunno why this happens with my device...

I have done this process 3-4 times on NC4 also but still same bootloop...

I also see some error messages when i enter the Recovery mode to fix the bootloop...the error appear at the bottom of screen...

for eg: E: cant mount something bla bla 2-4 lines....like the image below

Anyone else has this problem of getting boot loop right after flashing ROM in ODIN...

Did u use pit file while flashing...

I did not use the pit file because I was unsure if I should or not. But sense you are getting those mount errors maybe you need to use the pit file? But hopefully someone who really knows will share. Sorry I could't give you better information.

Me three. signal is horrible. i've seen a lot of conflicting advice as to which modem/radio to use but nobody seems to have much luck with any of them. I'm about to go back to JB 4.3 becuase at least i could send texts and make phone calls inside a building with it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
Agree with the last replys. Tried all modems with different Kit Kat ROMS and still having signal issues in locations that previously worked fine. Just think Verizons Kit Kat Note 3 build somehow affected the radio in a negative way.

My Note 3 has been running pretty laggy ever since I flashed it thru Odin. What do modems do? How dot you put them in Odin? Will it make my stock NC4 Note3 faster and less laggy then before?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
Modems communicate with cell towers. You put them in the AP slot in odin. They will not make your device faster or less laggy.

So is there anything I could possibly due to make this bad boy run just as fast as it was when I got it right out of the box??? It already had 4.4.2 NC4 on the dang thing when I got it out of the box...and ever since I tried rooting it and did a normal Odin Flash the damn thing is just really running more sluggish and laggy then ever......I need help bad.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] highdro:
Do you have power saving mode turned on? You said you tried to root it, did you succeed? And what did you flash in odin?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
I ran the NC4 .tar file from Beans firmware and the Re-paration file as well. did a complete full wipe of the phone then went into stock recovery and factory reset the phone (wiped data/cache) then rebooted it. And it has been laggy ever since then.

BUT I DID have Power Saving Mode on and didn't realize it limited my CPU usage. And I can already tell a big difference! Also no root did not succeed at all. I could never get the SU Binary to update and just all around decided I didn't want it, and uninstalled Busy Box and Superuser files as well as every rooted app on my Note, then proceeded to.wipe phone.

So any other ideas to make it run alot smoother bro??? Thanks a ton for telling me about the power saving crap! Already can tell it's alot more smoother. But not as smooth as before...
