bootloader and modem change

I tried and succeeded

I do that with twrp 2638 and my custom rom X-note10 but with stock kernel as asked by triangle away

I think that triangle away install his own recovery while resetting counters so no need to have stock recovery

the only thing ,i think, is to have stock kernel

i think that the recovery of triangle away lives only during triangle running

after modem change, i restart automatically with custom rom and do again triangle away to perform bootloader change

and after I restart automatically with X-note and TWRP

thankyou for your help

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Hey OP this works also and allows those who want to have DBT csc as well!

Try a look here. Extract only.

I am too searching for a similar tool to repack as ext4 easly.

Hum

I prefer not use a pit file as it's re-format somes parts of the phone. It's a dangerous way to employ only in last ressort when all the others options failed.

I this case, i advise to use a repacked odin flashable file with cache files from DBT and Stock recovery inside as i do for the Multi-CSC. Less dangerous.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
I used this pit file and all works better than ever. Plus it allowed my phone to be back on dbt officially.

Your method works but you will have to always use your way instead. With the pit file afterwards you can always re flash stock dbt without a fail

dont forget the thanks button if I helped out!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
In this case is only this difference:

hidden.img.ext4

FAIL! (Size)]

In fact, error on hidden.

New pit file to NB4 DBT:

Block Size: 5.709.824

Block Count: 204.800

Partition Name: HIDDEN

Old pit file kitkat:

Block Size: 5.709.824

Block Count: 20.480

Partition Name: HIDDEN

This is only the differences between the two pit files.

Updated the OP for the NB7 Rom. :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lion_sta:
Maybe I got the wrong idea, but it seems to me like you said something related to Updating to KitKat and using the Regionlock Away tool.

Now my question is if you have tried it - if I update N9005 to KitKat, will I have to use the Regionlock Away tool again to be region unlocked, or I will keep the unlock from the 4.3?

THX
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
Each time you flash a modem, you restore the locks, so yes, you need once regionlock away.

Same thing as when you must restore root after a new system flash.

;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lion_sta:
Ok, I understand your point. But Chainfire sais the app works only with MJ3 and lesser firmware.

It wouldn't work with my note 3 until I downgraded my MJ2 to MJ1 firmware.

How do you expect it to work with Kitkat?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
As my phone was bought unbranded and non sim locked, and as i live in the correct country according the phone model, i can not confirm to you if the region is really unlocked, i can not make tests about this, the only things i can say are:

- The app give me no errors when i attempt to unlock the modem on KitKat and say all is succesfull.

- After a reboot, all my connections works fines (data & wifi), so nothing is broken.

Maybe you can ask directly to chainfire about KitKat and put feedbacks here. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lion_sta:
Chainfire does not really answer, have tried.

With MJ3 it would also say is was successful, but a sim from incorect region would not work. Pitty.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
Maybe i not understanded all, sorry in this case, but Region Unlock is different from Sim Unlock.

Are you sure that it don't work because there is too a sim lock and it is network related ?

I had read too that Samsung said that the region lock is permanently disabled once you have inserted a correct sim card.

Don't know if it is true finally...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
Main rom in the op is now repacked with NC2 modem.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lion_sta:
Let me share some thoughts with you.

You said that when updating to kitkat, since the baseband and other things get updated, the region lock will be reset.

Then:

1. Why do the techies from samsung say that once the device has been activated (5 mins talking with the original sim) you can use it anywhere. They dont say that you should activate it every time you update firmware.

2. In order for me to be able to use Regionlock Away, I had to downgrade just the baseband (it was a wild guess, but it payed out) from MJ2 to MJ1 (the firmware/CSC stayed MJ3 all the time). Afterwards I upgrade the baseband back to MJ2 and I am still region unlocked.

So you see, the trick is probably not in the baseband, but somewhere else.

Oh, so many questions and so little answers.

Thank you for your time.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] br46:
i can say that lock away runs well with kk custom rom xnote and twrp

i could update modem two times nb7 and nc2 as writen in post1

i could also upgrade bootloader two times nb1 and nb7

is there anyway to add VNZ csc..

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
Did you tried with chainfire's apps before flashing ? :confused:

Mega link is online here, else check at the bottom of the first post... ;)

Check the first post to download the tool you need...

Download the latest whole stock VNZ rom which contain the CSC you want.

Extract the CSC files Inside the tar.md5 file you just donwnloaded in a new empty folder (cache.img.ext4 & hidden.img.ext4)

Download one of the only CSC repacked file in my first post.

Extract from Inside the file recovery.img into the same folder you just created and pushed the two first files.

Repack the three files, create md5 sum, apply the unlock procedure and flash with your own maked file.

Do this at your own risks...

I have no time to do the firsts steps, but if you provide me the two cache files i can do for you the repacked flash-file if you have some difficulties.

You can rename any tar.md5 file in .tar file and use any archiver to extract files.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] doodydood:
just wonder why would u need VNZ CSC?

Just use the multi CSC region/carrier free firmwares from those European countries. Will work with any carrier in NZ.

Yes that is correct..that is the full csc..its from the mj7 rom

[Galaxy Note 3 General] T.A.R.D.I.S.:
Hello,

Sorry for my english.

As you know, French Free Operator has many particularities about csc. Is it possible for you to make a file with just the xef csc based on NC2 modem?

It will allow for no roots user to have the good csc for this network.

Thanks a lot dear compatriot for your reponse.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
Hello,

Have you tried this file before asking ? N9005-hlte_CSC_OXXEND2_RECOVERY-XXUEND5_REPACK.tar.md5

Do not use on an older rom, especially if it is not a KitKat one

.

There is Inside the CSC XEF that you search for, if you are on XEF before flashing, you keep this CSC after flashing this file or the whole repacked rom i share on mega.

This is my situation, just my operator is SFR.

I have read on somes french forums that this file works fine, i am not sure about FREE operator but there is no reasons that it won't, even for 4G.

The MODEM is independant of the CSC.

There is no NC2 Modem just for the operator free.

This is the latest flashable modem file at this time: N9005-hlte_MODEMS_XXUENC2_REPACK.tar.md5

If you are already on NC2, no action is requiered here for the operator FREE.

I think you have just to flash the whole repacked rom if you want to update all in one action. :cool:

If you have problems, just provide me the link/exact name for the rom you have actually or you are sure that it works on free operator network and i will extract the CSC to make a repack for this operator.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] T.A.R.D.I.S.:
Thank's.

I have tested this patch. Thank you, it's a good file.

I search file with just one csc inside. I want just the xef csc if it's possible.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
First way:

Edit cache file and re-compil the new one.

And then, make a flashable package.

I am unable to do this and have not enough time to investigate.

Maybe you know someone who can edit and compil an .ext4 file. :rolleyes:​

Second way:

Find a rom wich contain only the XEF csc, i searched inside my latests backups of JellyBean (4.3) and Kitkat and all roms are multi-csc, even if they are called 'xef', maybe you know one....

I wonder too if olders roms are compatibles with free's 4G, i think no.

This way should be a waste of time. :eek:​

Third way:

Root your phone and delete others countries folders in sytem/csc.

I can guide you here if you need :cowboy:

Remenber that each rom flashing will restore all the csc.
​

Can i ask why you want only xef csc ?

If this for a lighter package, you can try this one

The Multi-CSC OXAEND1, 5 Country Codes.

BTU, DBT, ITV, XEF, XEO​

Sorry to be unable to do more...

i cant update bootloader from ND3 to ND5

i put bootloader ND5 on AP and mark bootloader update tick ..reboot and again nd3 show

i put on BL and bootloader tick ... reboot and again ND3 show !

please help me

tnx
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Crystal7_Magic:
You can try to:

- Uncheck "Auto Reboot" in PC Odin

- Check "Phone Bootloader Update" and "F.Reset Time"

- Use the BL box instead of the PDA box.

> Start the flash then when you will be sure that flash has ended, reboot directly after that to recovery mod, then reboot normaly.

Let us know if it has fixes your issue ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] T.A.R.D.I.S.:
I'm sorry but i know how i have to use this file.

I still have a problem, after i flashed the repacked rom + the multi csc it selects btu as default, how can i change the csc?

EDIT: i prefer to keep the phone stock, so no root
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dobbsylondon:
Hey all,

I've had my note 3 for just over a week (SM-N9005) UK, O2 and it came with 4.42. I'd like to know if the O2 stock is here somewhere?

base-

PDA - NB4

PHONE - NB1

CSC - NB1 (O2U)

thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] turtle76:
Hi,

Just to confirm this: I am currently on stock unrooted NB4. If I follow the steps in this post to upgrade and root I will definitely trip knox right? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
As far as i know you need root and this app.

The CSC package you use came from a BTU rom, maybe it is the reason. You was already on BTU before flashing ?

I am on XEF and have no problems and keep my csc, but i use the csc package Inside the repacked rom only. I read on somes french forums that the other package you take, work fine too with XEF.

I am currently downloading the ND3 ITV rom to have a look Inside the cache file, Maybe you know yourself an older rom wich is only with ITV csc, even a JellyBean...

I found a way to study.

I am back in 2-3 hours with details....

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=o2u

You already have the latest if you want to keep this csc

Yes.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
Try the itv file in the csc folder in mega. (csc from nd3 itv rom)

Maybe you need to do a factory reset after to complete the job. (backup your datas before)

I not tested the result so i don't know if it will working. Ok ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kylothow:
Sorry if I asked help but by the time you replied I had already solved the problem... I downloaded and unpacked the ND3 rom and extracted hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4, packed both in a tar and than flashed over the stock Thailand ND6 rom. Worked just fine.

Thank you again and sorry if I wasted your time :rolleyes:

EDIT:

So, ITV added some useless bloatware and no more... I remember when my Note 3 shipped it had the XEF csc on it, and from what I remember it had no extra bloatware and let me select Italian; the question is, from what I seen the European cscs missed some Samsung hub services, does the XEF csc have them all?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
So we had the same idea.

No waste a time for me as i learnt something :)

I removed somes pre-installed apps with titanium (about 40: knox, screensavers, print services, Google play livres, samsung video, etc...)

I do not remember exactly...

I can use Italian if i want, when i want, even on xef.

I not use Samsung hub, but it is on my xef csc, as too, somes others Samsung services (equal offer as Google do i think)

So maybe you will find what you search for, but there my be a lock from Samsung online services as you use apps in Italy attribued to French ...

Best way to know is to try... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Crystal7_Magic:
Small question about CSC files : I was wondering what were the impact of using old CSC files (hidden and cache) on a recent ROM package instead of a more recent CSC files.

Will it be more efficient to use a recent CSC package or it will change nothing? But in this case what is the purpose to upgrade CSC files which are in ROM?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Bogeyof:
I´ve done an update with this package (and Multi-CSC OXAEND1 for Germany), all went fine.

But I have 2 questions:

- I had last nordic firmware (N9005XXUEND5_N9005NEEEND1_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5) on my phone before and "phone info" shows the same changelist (1168347) as for new ND6. Does it means, there is no difference (no change) between ND5 and ND6? Did I an useless update?

- With nordic firmware, I had CSC NEE, now it shows BTU/NEE. But all my language settings (German) are fine and I think its all ok. For what do I need "correct" CSC (which was DBT in original state of delivery), is it worth to change CSC again to DBT or is it OK to leave it on BTU (as I said, all German language customisation runs well)?

Thanks for a short info!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Le Ch@land:
For exemple, in France, for the operator 'FREE' and to be able to use 4G speed, the first csc compatible is since MK3, all latest ones are unusuables, others operators are not affected such as 'ORANGE' or 'SFR'.

So i think if the csc package is updated, it is due to updates of somes parts, which are not necessary these that you need.

Depending of your situation, it may change nothing, or all...

If all work fine, by default an update is not necessary.

When i repack a rom, i take all the most recents parts i find, to be sure to be updated or everyone. :cowboy:

For me same changelist equal to same build - same rom. When it come a new build whith same changelist, I update the repack essentially to be on the latest system build avaible.

A csc is use to configure somes parameters such the network and somes apps in the phone (i do not know exactly what is done). If you have a problem to find an app, play movies in the play store, or to connect to others online services, an incorret csc may be the cause.

So, if all work fine for you, unnecessary to change the csc, or just for having DBT as you are in Germany just for the 'look'...

Keep in mind that change the csc perform a factory reset on your phone and you must all reconfigure after... in this case, the app Titanium Backup is your best friend. (I have problems with Rom ToolBox which not backup datas of the apps.)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Crystal7_Magic:
Thanks for your explanations:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Bogeyof:
Thanks for your answers too! I have noticed one more thing:

In your screenshot, boot loader is ND6, mine is after flashing your repack still ND5. I found a hint in an other thread, that the modem won't be flashed, if system state is custom, to flash modem, I just would have to use triangle away before flashing to set state to official.

Do u think its necessary to reset system state to official before flashing a firmware with new modem and/or new boot loader? With custom state wouldn't flash?

Edit: I answer myself, i´ve done it again with triangle away and now I´m on Bootloader ND6. So I think its necessary to set state to official for a complete flash of all parts...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] kylothow:
So, this method worked for me, but I'm on 4.4 bootloader.. if you don't need to use tw 4.3 just flash a 4.4 rom (maybe the nd6 one, so it updates the baseband too).

I forgot to say that if the first flash doesn't work you should flash, as I said, with auto reboot disabled, after the flash finished, shut down and boot directly to download mode (don't let the system boot).

So if this method doesn't work (and no one else have better advices) just flash the nd6 rom.

Yeah i followed the instructions.. Ill download the whole rom. Thanks by the way!

Hi,

For many reasons, i will only maintain roms with XX base.

I tested the kernel from the last HongKong Rom repacked with a XX rom and got softbrick, just reflashed XX kernel and all returned fine, except it reseted my android ID.

At the oposite, i ve got no problem with the HongKong Modem without any improvement noticed.

Mix different bases can cause problems that are not worth the trouble.

Another question, if I have the DXUENE3 bootloader can I go back to an older ROM, eg the XXUEND3, or I will brick my phone doing so?
