Beans,

Kitkat is out: http://sxtpdevelopers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-verizon/

Can you cut it up into a stock ROM with your Dev edition phone?

IM afraid to flash it to mine with out root yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mlin:
I thought he sold his DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Scott:
Well I hope some one can do this. The Verizon S5 has yet to be rooted and I am not brave enough to update firmware only to find out I'm locked or bricked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mlin:
Users are having luck reverting back to MJE after updating via the 4.4 leak. It doesn't do much for root,,but there is some relief knowing you can go back to 4.3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Scott:
That is good!

I do have an idea....

Do you have time? PM your Gtalk address if you do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mlin:
Ideas are good!

I know [MENTION=4854133]bajasur[/MENTION], [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION], and [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] are working on root. You may want to touch base with them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joeyx2:
Any idea when we are gonna get the modem for kit kat?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Scott:
Yep, just talked with Bajasur.

Crossing fingers :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mlin:
Nice! Crossing mine as well!

I'm ready to get to work on IncognitoROM, KK edition!

:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Scott:
Me too!

CleanROM that is ;)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
any plans for a 4.4 tw rom for dev edition??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BigMcGuire:
EDIT: SOLVED

I'm kinda freaking out. Please help. I installed Odin 3.09, tried to flash the n900v_kk_firmware.tar.md5 but got a "Complete(Write) operation failed. All threads completed. (success 0 / failed 1)." in Odin. Bar got 20% done. I keep getting this no matter what I do. Now phone has: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant and try again." It gets to Modem.bin then fails - Complete(Write) operation failed. Maybe this has to do because I'm on a VMWare machine? I'll try outside of it when I get home

EDIT: SOLVED

Apparently ODIN or the Samsung Drivers do not like VMWare. I went home - installed Samsung Drivers, restarted, started up ODIN, BAM ... flash worked. I'm still shaking. Good grief.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] czach5932:
+1 would love to test drive this if possible and see if it fixes my reception issue
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:
updated OP with kitkat modem :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] czach5932:
Awesome thanks. Can't wait until I get home to try it out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Tidefan13:
Thanks beans

Sent from my DE Note 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] czach5932:
Just flashed and still have service so that's a plus Going to test reception tomorrow and hoping for the best. Thanks beans for everything you do and hopefully even tough you don't have a Verizon note 3 that you'll keep up with the good work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
I flashed NC2 modem on my DE and had no service. Running CM11, but I doubt that matters. Back to mje modem and all is good.

Edit: Symptons: very long boot time (long time at splash screen). Could not detect my SIM card (Please insert SIM!). No APN values present...

Edit 2: Based on positive feedback from several other users, I downloaded NC2 again and reflashed (via Odin). Same exact results, again for me. So back to mje. I don't really mind that much, but if anyone has any hypothesis as to why my phone will not work with the new NC2 modem, I'd appreciate the feedback.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
Hey buddy, i just flashed it on my DE and didn't experience any of the symptoms you described. In fact i have the appearance of a little better signal. Running cm11 (temasek flavor). Maybe you got a bad download? weird though odin does a md5 check, so i wouldn't think that to be the case...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:
I just flashed the NC2 modem on my DE with no problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Caveman419:
I flashed the NC2 modem on my DE yesterday and have had no issues at all. I can not tell if better reception or not...certainly no worse.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Based on positive feedback from you guys, I downloaded NC2 again and reflashed (via Odin) on my DE. Same exact results, again for me. So back to mje. I don't really mind that much, but if anyone has any hypothesis as to why my phone will not work with the new NC2 modem, I'd appreciate the feedback.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Is everyone entering download/Odin mode via reboot menu or from power off 3 keys method?

SM-N900V DE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Power off - 3 key
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
Upon closer observation, I notice I'm still on mje. Everything completed successfully in Odin but I guess it didn't take. I'm going to try again now, will report back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
I think you and I are the only ones on CM11. Will be interesting to see if it's an AOSP comparability issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
Flashed nc2 successfully again, but I'm still on mje lol. I'm gonna try flashing to mi9 and see if that takes. Will report back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Are you entering download mode from power off?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
No I've been using the power menu to get into dl mode. I just flashed mi9 and my phone still says mje. Do you think 3 button method is different from power menu?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Yes it is. You need to enter download mode from power off. Volume down + home + power.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
OK I'll try that method and report back :thumbup:

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Using three button method I can confirm that the only baseband working with aosp is mje. All others fail to pick up signal, the APN list is blank and it takes longer to move past the initial Samsung boot screen. Sorry for ignorantly posting earlier that I was successful.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
So we both have the same result. NC2 modem is not compatible with AOSP ROMs for some reason.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
None of the other modems are compatible, I tried all. I wonder if flashing aosp after flashing a different modem would work. Maybe something to try. I might give it a shot later tonight just to test.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
I wonder if it's possible that we can not flash new modems while running CM11?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jdog94:
i want to flash back to mje modem do i use the same settings in odin......i still do it in the pda slot???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Any chances of a modified DE Odin package with NC2 system? Then us DE users could run the package then install TWRP or Philz enter recovery before first boot then flash [MENTION=3357040]Imoseyon[/MENTION] / [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] `s kernel and root if desired in one swoop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Yes. If using Odin 3.09, then you won't see the PDA slot anymore; it's now called the AP slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
comparison

I know that there are many variables.

can u guys comment on

mje>nc2

My experince with nc2 was not that good. Less dbm.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
I've read quite a few posts about it and it seems some are having a marked improvement from NC2 and some are being forced to revert to MJE.

Honestly, that's not surprising at all because Radio/Modem/Baseband (why does it have so many names?!?) performance is greatly dependent upon location in the world and tower technology around you. Just because NC2 is the newest doesn't mean it will perform better for your towers or your area. I'd absolutely recommend going back to MJE and at least trying it, and trying MJ7 or MI9 if you'd like. I've got them all linked in flashable tars in my thread in my signature.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
That is what I was thinking. My dbm's dropped from MJE to NC2 about 16dbm. Not good. I will stick with MJE.

Thanks for the tars.

speaking of why aren't flashable zips? zips are easier to flash on the go. ODIN requires a pc bla bla.... I am spoiled from nexus devices...

Thanks for keeping the tech support comming!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Glad I could help. Unfortunately, Safestrap doesn't allow for flashing modem zips so we're stuck with tars...trust me, I know your pain, I came from a Nexus 4 to my Note.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
I have a dev edition so I don't have to use ss.

It is ok. I guess for me mje>nc2.

Waiting for beans to drop his "jellybeans" 4.4.4 kk based. his 6release is what I use now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
This morning I decided to test my theory so I flashed nc2 using 3 button method and it reboots in cm11 with no service. I then reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik, cache, data, and system and reflash cm11. Reboot and boom I got service. Nc2 worked. However it didn't get better signal, in fact it seemed to drop lte and pick it back up frequently in a spot I can always get a bar or two. So here's the kicker tho, I use 3 button method and jump back into download mode and proceed to flash mi9. When it finishes it reboots and I'm prepared to reflash cm11 again but when it boots up I have signal. Checked and I'm on mi9. Weirdness lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Interesting experiment. Thanks for trying it and posting your results.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gerg004:
So of we're on Beans leak of KK, we can download thr MJE modem and flash in Odin while staying on KK?

This is s great news if it's so. My service/drops/no service has ebeen HORRID with the new modems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
^yes you can flash any modem that is for the N3.

i want to go back to stock but i cant find any of the stock files i download when im in odin (modems are their tho)?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
All 3 4.3 jellybean stock tar files are in the OP of this thread, the stock rooted nc2 is in a different thread. All the files you need including nc2 kitkat are mirrored at my thread in my signature as well.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] e30bimmer89:
I'm guessing this will fix the crappy signal I was getting while on KK? I actually just reverted back to 4.3 because of it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BigMcGuire:
I'm located in Apple Valley, CA and I commute to the San Fernando Valley every weekend. Ever since I went to 4.4 I've noticed much slower LTE SpeedTest.net results - though WiFi problems were fixed and didn't require a build.prop edit to 0 for the radio power save. However, I noticed that my phone was dropping back to 3g all the time when it never would before (on MJE). And in places where I'd usually have 1-2 bars of LTE - I had absolutely no signal at all (a big O with a line through it). This was the last straw - having no signal for a good 3 mins when I really needed it.

So I flashed MJE back on my phone just now. Thanks for this thread! Was a quick Reboot to recovery, boot into Download from Recovery, install 7zip on parent's laptop to unzip firmware, flash via Odin after installing Samsung Drivers on my parent's laptop, Bam... done in less than 2 mins.

Why would a new'er firmware have worse LTE? This was across the board in Apple Valley (90 miles north east of LA) and in Los Angeles (California). It's really noticeable. Nice to be back on a more stable firmware (MJE) - though I have to set build.prop powersave to 0 to get WiFi throughput.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 92slammer:
somebody snag the nc4 modem from the new update...hopefully it will be better than nc2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Check out the post directly above yours where I detail the whole download, md5 confirmation, extraction process, etc. I did have the .7z extension on the file when I tried. I only removed it for a moment to see what would happen when I forced Odin to recognize it. Thanks either way though
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jmorton10:
wondering that myself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scoobysnack:
Yeah sorry about that I was on my phone and didn't see the other replies.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BossJ:
Yeah. Doesn't seem to me that anyone is answering this. Gah.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joshw0000:
Me too. I believe we can flash the MJ7 over MI9 but not the other way around. But it'd be nice to have some clarification as this is the first Sammy I've owned without a unlocked (or loki'ed) bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] G8orDroid:
YOU CANNOT FLASH MI9 over MJ7, you'll softbrick. At least that's what others have posted.

There is no problem flashing MJ7 over MI9, but you can't go back and you may lose root. I lost root but got it back with Kingo after several tries. There are several threads around that outline the proper steps for maintaining root. This one >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2519103 << being the first to come to mind, but it doesn't seem to work for everyone. I think you need to make sure you don't have a "custom" status before you try to attempt the OTA method.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joshw0000:
That's what I meant, I just had my names inverted (fixed it). And we're not talking about OTA's (MJ7 wouldn't OTA for me over MI9 no matter what I did). We're referring to flashing the modem posted in this thread over a rooted/customized MI9 build which would give you a MJ7 baseband and a MI9 system (easily updated with a stock or custom MJ7 rom).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BossJ:
Yes this ^^

Is the MJ7 modem flashable over the MI9? If so, what's the correct way of doing so?

Thanks :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] suzook:
Just flash in odin. I did it no problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] G8orDroid:
My mistake. The latest post didn't mention "modem" specifically, only MJ7 & MI9 and when I saw the mention of flashing MI9 over MJ7, I felt I needed to respond. But yes, you should be able to flash the modem with no problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] flascrnwrtr:
OK, I have one of the unlucky phones that won't take the MJ7 update through normal install or through Kies. So, my question is this... if I use Odin to flash the MJ7 modem, could I then wipe the main slot in SafeStrap and do a restore of Jellybeans1 (since it is MJ7 based) and basically get to the equivalent of having taken the update?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BossJ:
Do u put the mj7 tar file in the ap slot? All checks stay the same??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Yep, AP slot & Odin should open with the correct boxes checked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] suzook:
Yes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BIGSIKE3:
Do you have to be on the stock rom slot in SS to flash the new radio? or can you just do it on what ever rom/slot you are on?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 0vermind:
The 7zip file for the MJ7 1.3GB is corrupt. Tried to download twice and verified the MD5s. Won't let me extract. Same issue as DutchDogg. Looks like the file got corrupted during upload OP. Unable to download the MI9 stock tar, the page on androidfilehost says "no mirrors found." I'm surprised.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] njfoses:
To my understanding the only way to update the full firmware is to take the ota or odin stock MJ7. You will not have the "full" update if you follow your method.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joshw0000:
My mistake. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FAL_Fan:
Mj7

I am having the same issue with mj7,won't open in Odin, won't unzip with either 7 zip or winzip, I've downloaded mj7 twice and no luck. Please help. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
As we've figured out through trial and error, the MJ7 file in the OP is not functional at this time.

[MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION] - could you reupload this when you get a chance? We are really appreciative of your work on the numerous helpful threads thus far, you're a real asset. This is a hot file right now and many people are going to be needing it, I would assume. Thanks!!

For the time being, here's a link that Hashcode posted to the same file, but it's not a zip - it's the straight .tar and it worked perfect for me.

Yeah, don't take it if you want root and safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BigMcGuire:
Hopefully the fact that they released a new modem so quickly means that it'll fix the crappy modem that came with the initial KitKat release. :P
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Saythis:
The issue with the NC2 modem was that it isn't an official release modem. NC2 is a leaked modem and there's no telling when in the development process it was released.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 92slammer:
Well I flashed the nc4 modem and seems to be worse than than nc2. ...at least for me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BigMcGuire:
Looks like MJE it is... Since going MJE from NC2 I've kept a very solid 4G signal (haven't seen 3g at all). I've also got reception where NC2 was showing a red circle with a line through it. Wonder what Verizon is thinking. Note 3 users will upgrade to S5 with poor LTE performance? :P
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 92slammer:
I flashed it around 1230 today....been on 3g most of the time since

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
I do have a DE. I have flashed nc4. So far so good. Nc2 made my n3 unstable. NC4 is similar to mje in my house. I have several spots where I measure dbm and speed. Will compare. Also I want to look for drops to 3g from lte.

Dbm in my house are not much diff. Speedtest about the same , both compared with mje vs nc4. -89dbm and 25-30 mb/s down.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] untouchablez:
Thanks for chiming in, appreciate it! Just finished flashing NC4 and all is well, so anyone with a DE should be good. Gonna run NC4 for a few days to see how well it stacks up vs MJE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Has anyone running CM11 tried to flash the NC4 modem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
I have dev edition . still running 4.3 by beans with col x kernel. I dont understand why the nc modems make my kernels go crazy. I ll give it one more shot. Had to wipe everything a do a full restore to recover from bootloops. When it bootloops it gets into android, the restarts , then it repeats the process. Once I reflash mje back and full restore from backup everything works.

Modems should not b related to rom/kernel combo.

Any ideas? Redowloaded file same result.

I dont do aosp bc of the lack of exfat support.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Sorry, I have no ideas.

And I don't understand why these modems won't work with AOSP. Not that I really feel compelled to use NC4, but I'd sure like to understand.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:

NC4 vs MJE comparison

I have a DE device. I am on 4.3 beans 6 release with colonel x kernel r11.

I always do a dbm comparison in certain spot and correlate it with speed test. same server.

After that I can say that MJE> NC4 by about 8db. That reflects in the speed test as I get 64-70 with that dbm and 80-85 mb/s down with MJE.

so I am back on MJE. The LTE to 3G seems a bit more stable.

I will have to test drive NC4 more but atm I do not c a reason for me to switch from MJE to NC4.

Hope this helps
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chocu1a:
Tried the NC4 modems. Better than the NC2, but I kept dropping data in my house, which was a lot stronger 4g signal on MJE.

Back to MJE.
