I used Odin 307 PDA to update my modem... Worked like a breeze no issues.

My concern is once you flash the bootloader are we able to go back to NB4 or other ROM's of prior ? :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
I've tried all sorts of ways to get the modem to flash and it still says I am on the NB4 baseband. Also is the NE6 Kernel dated May 19th in the about section? Want to make sure it actually took the kernel too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
Im getting the same thing here..Basebad version NB4, but the build number is N900tuvudne6...

I flashed all three tars and a fund of new apps appeared as if I was flashing a dirty flash.. Im gonna try wiping everyting then go to bootloader and flash everything again.. Not sure why someone here recommended flashing the modem first, before the main tar.. I dont get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
Thanks,After trying everything to get the modem to flash this worked!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stash9123:
what version of odin are you using? should be 3.07 or 3.09 pda phone and csc sounds like a much older version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
Triangle away worked for me. Just install the triangle away apk, run it. Select the option to reset and it will give some warnings. Mine then just turned off. I turned the phone on and it rebooted into recovery and then had the option to press up wolume to reset, then when it was done I pressed down volume to reboot into recovery and flashed to modem in PDA and it worked. I was on stock recovery when I did this. I also was cf-auto rooted which the triangle away needs first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stash9123:
exactly why i stripped out the bootloader and never even posted it. there is that chance and this why if you wanna go back to nb4 for what ever reason you are still on the old bootloader and should have nothing stopping you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
Thanks, that worked.. but, we shouldn't have to do all that.. there's got to be an easier way.. I think our first try did not work because we did a dirty flash.. Im sure if we would have wiped everything first, then go into download mode and flash the tar, it would have worked the first time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stash9123:
i was running a ported rom with custom binarys for bootloader. flashed just the modem at first booted back to my rom baseband was updated no issues. then i flashed kernel again no issues after bout 30mins of extracting the system,cache,recovery was finally done so without any wiping from recovery i just flashed it. after i flashed then i went into stock recovery and wiped. booted right up no fc no hangs crashes nothing..........

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cwalker0906:
can someone please explain the difference in the 2 modems...not sure which one to flash. im on nb4 bootloader and modem now. thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phil.culler:
+1 to you sir! Ran triangle away before attempting this, downloaded the zip file from Jovy23's thread (located here) and had no troubles at all. All I seem to have lost in the process of updating is root (easily fixed since I don't care about Knox)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Z-Man™:
I was running infamous I odined nb4 factory reset then odined ne6 baseband updated and all just fine

so you only flashed the modem wihtout the system.cache.recovery tar?

Can someone post a zip for the modem? This tar file isn't working... Odin 3x and still on nb4...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Texus915:
I'm having the same issue with modem not updating.i selected pda and csc in Odin under pda I selected the ne6 tar pushed start and it failed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mdiaz33685:
I had the rom working as plain stock nothing removed, when I removed knox... is when the problem started, I had to remove one at a time till I found the problem,

it was in the - system/lib/libknox_encryption.so = SYSTEM DOES NOT BOOT AFTER REMOVING THIS

I have so many tries, I just left that one in, and removed all the others...

I left my rom Stock with knox for that reason...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
Here is what you should do to prevent bricking.

Note: if you want to go back to NB4, you must flash corresponding kernel again.

The procedure requires to enter Odin mode three times (four if you want to root again).

While the phone is turned off (or pulled battery out and put back after each step), press and hold both home and volume down buttons, and press power button until you see a warning, and press volume up to enter Odin (download) mode.

1. Flash system. If the phone reboots after that, take the battery out and put it back.

2. Flash modem.

3. Flash kernel.

Make sure Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and NFC work properly. If something goes wrong, repeat the three steps again. It is highly recommended to backup using Kies3 just in case you need to do factory reset (I lost email settings, call records, all messages during process, but all other data keeps intact).

Battery is better after properly flashed to NE6. Unfortunately, LTE Calling isn't available in NYC at this time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
Good catch! I usually leave the libs alone and just freeze the apps. That way if there is something dependant, like in this case, I don't run into issues, but still have knox (for all intents and purposes) gone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lwinters8115:
I'm certainly not an expert as to why it wouldn't update your modem other than maybe you not stating that you checked the modem button.

I' selected "pda", "modem" and "CSC" using the same .tar file for all three and it worked perfectly for me. It did take a while. In all I think it took 10 -15 minutes or so. I was just patient and didn't disconnect it until I saw the light blue progress line on my phone was all the way 100% complete. It goes pretty slow.

try this

1 make a backup in recovery of your rom

2 after backup is made wipe everything as if u were gonna flash a new rom

3 reboot into download mode and flash the stock nb4 tar this will return you to stock once there reboot into download mode again

3 declick auto restart in odin and begin to flash the modem

4 after it is done flashing manualy reboot the device back into download mode and reflash modem again with autoreboot checked

5 let it boot into stock nb4 and check your baseband should be good to go

6 as long as modem has finally updated re odin your recovery

7 restore your backup but make sure you dont restore the efs and modem as it will re downgrade back to nb4

Flashable Modem

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537693

still didn't work for me :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajm786:
Yeah, just tried that, and it didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] :
I noticed that after flashing this, not all websites are pulling up...for example, if I go to youtube.com.. very little information loads on the page.. I have tried clearing the cache, galvik...but no dice... I finally fixed it by going into etc/hosts.. and renaming it to hosts.apk... rebooted and viola.

EDIT..

The battery seems to drain a lot faster too...it was at 100%, and in just a few minutes went down to 95%

---

Question... so I wiped everything and just flashed the n900t_ne6_system_cache_recovery_stock... I don't need to flash the modem or kernel since it's part of the big tar file, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajm786:
FWIW, I was completely unable to get the modem updated.

So, I said screw it; I downloaded the complete .tar file for the new NE6. I ODINed to the new image. Even after doing that, it still didn't update the modem. So I then downloaded the regular modem tar ODIN file (NOT THE NON-HLOS VERSION); in ODIN, I used the file to populate the 3 places: PDA, PHONE, and CSC (yes, the same file in the 3 slots). I then clicked Start, and it did its thing. What do you know; it worked!!!

I then used the TWRP 2.7 tar image in ODIN to get back to TWRP, and then simply restored my backed up image. I'm now in Temasek CM11, and the baseband AND bootloader are both updated. In System Info, the baseband shows NE6.

Are you trying to update the modem only? What build are you on now nb4?

If so, I used the modem without hlos and placed in modem 2 slot in odin mobile. Also I had to run triangle away first but depending on your status you may not have to. Try flashing it first and you will see a message flash really quickly if it doesnt work saying to use triangle away. If you see that or your modem is not updated after the flash than make sure you have stock nb4 kernel and run triangle away. Reboot after 10 sec like it says than flash the modem and it should work.

I myself have flashed the new modem only... As I do not want to update all my firmware at this time, if you want to flash anything more than just that, flash the entire firmware at once, it is now available from multiple sources here. Or directly from SamMobile, don't try to piece it together, you run a good chance of borking your phone up for good if you don't know what you are doing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CravingMender9:
Aah! Got it. No prob.

Let me just make it easier for people like me.

If you are on stock rooted 4.4 with Knox intact, and you want to keep it that way, do the following:

0) Use Triangle Away and reset status (if not clean)

1) Download n900t_ne6_modem+nonhlos, n900t_ne6_kernel-only and n900t_ne6_system_cache_recovery_stock from the OP.

2) Run Mobile Odin, open each file and verify it is loaded properly

3) Make sure keep root (everRoot, Injuct Superuser and Mobile Odin) and other options are selected (should be there by default).

4) Wipe Dalvik/Data and cache (Not required but HIGHLY recommended)

5) Flash

6) The phone will reboot. Wait for progress-bars to finish. It'll go to Odin Mode, Downloading, Do not turn off this device. Again, very important, wait for progress-bars to finish. When it seems like everything is done, and it is not doing anything anymore, press and hold the power button to off and reboot.

7) Phone will reboot and it will take a long time, but once done, you'll have NE6 + Root + Knox 0x0 safe.

UPDATE: I updated my bootloader as well. Same method as moving from 4.3 to 4.4.2. Knox still 0x0.

Steps to update bootloader (do AFTER above steps):

8) Make your own NE6 bootloader, or for N900T only, you can download the file from this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53016778&postcount=95).

9) Use Odin (PC) and open the bootloader you created/downloaded.

10) Select ONLY auto reboot and Phone Bootloader Update in Odin. DO NOT SELECT "RESET TIME".

11) Restart phone in Download Mode

12) Press Start.

13) After flashing, phone will restart. If all goes well, have fun, otherwise flash the CSC file from post above.

14) Enjoy :)

Enjoy, and have patience. Do it properly and carefully and you'll have no problems :)

Hope this helps.

PS: Thanks to [MENTION=4888297]jacodaburr[/MENTION] for the original bootloader. I didn't want to try his bootloader in fear of tripping knox, but took the plunge and came out successful :)

BTW: Xposed Framework turns off and has to be updated after this to work. I don't know if it is this update related or generally so.
