The link from dutchdog has a NC4 download
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mo2002:
See link above. Was working when I sent the message weeks ago, haven't checked since.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gil Smash:
The only thing changed that you can't get in a MJ7 rom is the radio. Only other things an OTA could change that you can't get from flashing would be an updated kernel or bootloader and both of those have remained the same.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jmorton10:
yea that link worked fine for me too :good:

Will flashing the modem in Odin work for retail versions of the Note 3 or is it for Developer Edition only?

Edit: It works! YOU ROCK BEANS OMG
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BIGSIKE3:
So you flashed the MJ7.zip in odin on the retail N3? that's what I was wondering.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Epic 4g:
So based on what you said, is it OK to let's say flash Jelly Beans ROM & then flash the MJ7 modem? Would that be the equivalent to doing an Odin flash of MJ7?

I don't want to Odin Flash MJ7 & use the Kingo app to gain root, until the whole mess surrounding their so called issues are resolved & it becomes open source as they are claiming it will soon be.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gil Smash:
Essentially yes. I'm on stock MI9 and flashed the radios. Everything works great and any other additions/fixes youd get from the ota are included in the MJ7 roms.

VRUBMJ7 Build Making Life Difficult

When I went to Best Buy and picked up my Note 3 the sales person accepted the OTA update. I have tried everything I can figure to get this thing rooted with no luck. I have never had such difficulty rooting a phone. SO is it me ? Can I root VRUBMJ7 Build? If so How?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gil Smash:
Kingo or vroot. Both of which have know problems in which they potentially steal information from your phone but if you use Kingo and then install safestrap and flash the latest version of SuperSU you should be good to go.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wy1d:
I flashed the MJ7 radio only via Odin. I have MI9 stock rooted and used safe strap to flash Beans 1. So now I'm on rooted MJ7 ROM with the updated radio without having to take the OTA or use Kingo
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dan_joegibbsfan:
I've been trying to use Kingo all night. Trying different cables, different ports, etc ... no luck! I downloaded vroot and it worked first shot.

My N3 was MI9 so I odin'd the MJ7 tar then rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GTvert90:
My phone doesn't like mj7 radio. I can Odin the mi9 radio only and be fine correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gil Smash:
Or the Galaxy Nexus that was fine but that phone was also totally open. Id say got for it but you may want to have a full rom file handy in case it goes wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
For anybody looking for the MJ7 Tar, I uploaded a mirror - it's over here: [Firmware][Guide]Full Stock MJ7 Tar - Guide to Update to Latest OTA
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wy1d:
Does anyone have a mirror of the MI9 Odin file? I bricked my phone trying to restore a backup of Safestrap Slot 1 with Beans ROM into the Stock ROM slot. I saw where others did that successfully but apparently my phone didn't like that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Have you tried the one in the OP of this thread? I only uploaded a mirror of MJ7 due to the one in the OP being non-functional currently. I believe the MI9 in the OP here is the only working link around...but I'd recommend forgetting MI9 and moving on to MJ7 via my instructions and files here: [Firmware][Guide]Full Stock MJ7 Tar - How to Update to Latest OTA. There's literally no benefit to staying on MI9 :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wy1d:
One in the OP has no mirrors found = dead link.

I want MI9 because I already have a backup on my SD card of Beans ROM (MJ7) and I just need to load MI9 and quickly root it to load up safe strap to restore the backup. I don't want to use Kingo due to all the negative press and data gathering they are doing. Since it's just going to sit in my unused stock slot, it doesn't really matter what the build is. My daily will be Beans (MJ7).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
Variations on my question above: Is there any difference between these modems? Is there any reason to flash the MJ7 modem on the DE?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Yeah, I see what you mean about the link in the OP not having any mirrors...I never actually clicked that one until you said something. Looks like [MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION] has 2 mirrors to attend to with both stock tar links not functioning. Dude is a busy guy though! I can't imagine pumping out roms across multiple devices and doing such a good job at it. Gotta cut him some slack ;)

I do have the original files I downloaded to get rooted (the root de la vega stuff) that I could upload (which I'm pretty sure is a MI9 stock file) but it'd be a while until they upload, like several hours. I'll go ahead and start that process when I leave work here in a little while so I can hopefully get a mirror out to you late this evening or tomorrow morning.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wy1d:
THANKS! No phone right now so I'm freaking out a little. Totally no fault of Beans! I appreciate the mirror!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Hey Jellyhead- Thanks for putting up these live links to the modems. I tried earlier many times to flash the nc4 and mje links, but they don't get picked up by Odin for some reason. I can flash other files via Odin using same ports/usb cords, ect.... - did these modems work for you? btw, I was able to download all the files. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
Yes, I've used the MJE and NC4 but not the MJ7. I had posted the NC2 and OB1 as well but there were errors when loading in Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Thanks for getting back to me. Are you aware of any other ways to get these modems flashed other than with Odin?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
I'm not sure if it's possible to flash them with SafeStrap or not. With TWRP you can just make a flashable zip. I'm fairly new to the Note 3 and SafeStrap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zeffchef:
Can you update download sites sir? None of them work at all..Please!

I'll admit that you do have to give them an email address that you have access to even to gain "free" (low-speed) access. OTOH, it doesn't have to be an email account which is *important* to you. Catch my drift?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sykoj82:
Can you share the newest modem for Verizon in a zip format please?

For anyone looking for such things, I put together a series of recovery-flashable stock ROMs for all of the following releases of the SM-N900V (Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3)

There's a link in that thread for a complete set (NC4 -> PL1) of flashable modems, too. :D

cheers
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pltctytc:
i found MJ7 works best for me others aren't holding signals like they use to on OF1 (MJe NC4)

amazing i have a nexus tablet from 2013 and its updated by google to marshmallow and the best verizon can do is lollipop on the note 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pnuker:
Probably because Verizon has nothing to gain from updating it. They want you to buy a new phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pltctytc:
i'll buy a new one eventually i still have a couple more years use out of this one. all they get is $50/month prepaid plan and i don't buy phones from the carrier
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GTvert90:
I know you could on s3/n2/s4 but those were all unlocked/bypassed bootloaders.

Hell I'll go for it an see what happens.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wy1d:
Awesome! Thanks guys. I also just got home and found my Root de la Vega files on my shared drive so I'm flashing those now!

Edit: Back up and running. I made the data partition on the ROM slot the max size so that hopefully I won't get out of space errors in Google Music anymore. MJ7 radio did not get overwritten so that's good too!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GTvert90:
Flashed fine. figured it would but noone really says anything one way or the other.

flashed MI9 modem in odin over MJ7
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jmorton10:
you have the backwards I think??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GTvert90:
not that I'm aware. My phone didn't seem to like the new mj7 radio so I odined back to the stock mi9 radio
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jmorton10:
I guess I'm mistaken then, I thought it was an instant brick to flash backwards that way.

What doesn't your system like about the new radio??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joshw0000:
Wait a second. I'm 95% sure you can't odin MI9 over MJ7. Now, if you were running a MJ7 rom with the MI9 radio, that would work fine but I'm pretty sure trying to odin MI9 when you have the MJ7 radio installed wouldn't work. And you'd be stuck in a soft brick until you odin'ed MJ7.

Can you confirm you had the MJ7 radio previously and now you have the MI9 radio?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GTvert90:
Beans posted the modem only files, when I updated my phone last week I used the full mj7 Odin file has code has in the safestrap thread, after running it a few days I was having more data drops and signal fluctuation. So I flashed the mi9 modem only tonight. Now I'm back on mi9 baseband.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] joshw0000:
Weird that you're having more issues on MJ7 than MI9. I updated for the soul reason of MI9 radio issues. Nice to know that it's possible to downgrade the radio but I'm not 100% sure how. I thought the radio was the one file keeping us from being able to downgrade.

You did confirm in your settings that the flash took and you're in fact on MI9 baseband?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GTvert90:
Yes system says MI9 baseband. Radio seems like something that's different from phone to phone and location to location. The S3 has what 7 modems out for it? You read through the thread and everyone says one modem works better then the other for them. The next guy says this one works better then the other. And so on
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] borisshnitkin:
i was able to downgrade also back to the original radio that came with the phone. seemed to work better with my phone.i didnt loose root or anything.i also did it because i had better battery life with the original base band.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
flashing radio/modems never effect anything in the system. Its a seperate partition.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

you can not go back from MJ7 to MI9 firmware because the bootloader is black listed, but you can swap back and forth between radios no matter what firmware version your device is on.

Is there an Odin file for the DE MJ3 radio? We should be able to try that on consumer phones as well right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mwebb34:
I'm running beans rom version 2, do I flash the modem using Safe strap? Also will this modem be better than the one already installed? And finally if I flash the new modem do I have to flash different firmware.

Thanks for your help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AlpineMan:
Anyone have MI9 stock ROM or MI9 stock rooted ROM in ODIN format? The one in OP says no mirrors found. Looks like it's broken.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] SirBindy:
Absolutely NOT. It says right in the first post that they are to be flashed with ODIN.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MotorcycleMike:
Does the DE have to flash the modem in Odin also or can it be done from TWRP?

Thanks!

I've been reading about these modems ...what are they and why do we need them?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
They are what your device uses to communicate with the outside world (wifi, network, etc)... So pretty important. Most of the time new firmware builds get updated modems (aka: radios or basebands) with little tweaks that can improve anything from signal to battery life. They are kind of location specific in their benefits though so one might be better for you and the other might be better for me.

You can Odin one and give it a try and Odin to another if it doesn't improve things for you. You can even go to older modems, but you can't go backward in firmware, aka build number, with a locked bootloader, just FYI.

MJ7 baseband won't take on DE

I've flashed the MJ7 baseband on my DE with bean2 (MJ7 build)...but the baseband always shows MJ3. I'm using Odin 3.09 and AP. Flashed about 10x.

Does the OP's MJ7 baseband work on DE with MJ3? Is the DE version not MJ7 baseband (which is hard to believe)? Has anyone with DE and beans 2 been able to flash to MJ7 baseband?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TSman74:
Just solved this problem today. My baseband also showed MJ3 even though I flashed the MJ7 modem. (Only flash the MJ7 modem on the DE not the stock tar MJ7!)

After 6 tries changing usb ports, restarting the computer, and starting the phone into download mode by restart menu and from the complete shutdown with battery in and out it finally stuck. Why? Couldn't tell you. Just trouble shoot with the above methods until it does.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] soundneedle:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
I wonder if SafeStrap has anything to do with it? It's getting to be the time I tried this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
So I'm assuming when the new modem is packaged like this I can just flash it via Odin to get the new modem installed? And it should work with ROMs that use that modem, right? Just trying to make sure I got this all straight.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wroder84:
Just to throw it out there I have had issues with Odin and it was because I let the phone download the drivers automatically. The way I fixed it was by manually installing the drivers I found on the Web and that allowed for Odin to flash properly. Thought this might help somebody.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] js0uth:
hope you post the stock odin for the dev edition soon.

every time you release a new build. i always odin back to stock then reflash. i dont know why i just do. lol. more of a personal preference that i know everything is fresh and less prone to problems. ive been doing so since the note 2. and never have any problems.

thanks beans.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Speedy Gonzalez:
Noob question but flashing a tar file with odin flashes modem too ? I am waiting for the MJE tar to odin back to stock re-root and restore beans b4 backup
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Yes, it installs the firmware, modem & kernel - same as an OTA. That's why everybody is recommended to take the OTA (which usually means Odin back to MJ7 stock to get things in order so it works), because there were big changes to the kernel and it's usually best to be on the latest modem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Speedy Gonzalez:
thanks for clarifying :good:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Theoretically, yes. The posted zip is having problems though, myself and others haven't been able to unzip it.

Until that gets sorted out you can get updated by Odining back to a stock MJ7, taking the OTA, then rerooting with kingo. That's currently the only way to get the MJE kernel modem & firmware.
