Flashing process with Odin

I've seen a few posts with flashing problems like modems not sticking on the Note 3.

The process below works for me practically every time and the modem sticks.

The critical part of the process is that the battery is taken out and the USB cable disconnected after each successful flash (as advised in post one of this thread).

Before I was doing that, I would just power down the device and not take out the USB cable, and it could take quite a few flashes before it stuck.

(Speculation) Maybe it's got something to do with power still going through the motherboard when you just power off???

It's a combination of a number of processes you will have seen before, including the process in the first post of this thread.

Flashing Process with Odin

When flashing bootloaders (BL) and modems (CP), you must cold boot your phone for the flash to succeed.

To perform a cold boot into Odin, follow these instructions carefully:

Power down your phone

Unplug any cables from your phone

Pull the back cover off and remove the battery completely

Place the battery back in your phone (there is no need to wait)

Place 1 finger on volume down key, and 1 finger on home key

While holding those keys down, place another finger on the power key

Release the finger from the power key when you feel a vibrate

Release your other fingers once you see the Odin warning screen

You may plug your phone cable back into the phone now, or after the next step

Press volume up key to enter Download mode

Start Odin and be sure it recognises your phone and shows ID:COM port number

Untick Autoreboot

Flash MODEM.BIN (CP slot - unzip it first)

Wait until Odin finishes the flash, remove the battery and USB cable, then close Odin

Place the battery back in your phone (there is no need to wait)

Place 1 finger on volume down key, and 1 finger on home key

While holding those keys down, place another finger on the power key

Release the finger from the power key when you feel a vibrate

Release your other fingers once you see the Odin warning screen

You may plug your phone cable back into the phone now, or after the next step

Press volume up key to enter Download mode

Start Odin and be sure it recognises your phone and shows ID:COM port number

Untick Autoreboot

Flash NON-HLOS.BIN (CP slot - unzip it first)

Wait until Odin finishes the flash, remove the battery and USB cable, then close Odin

Place the battery back in your phone (there is no need to wait) and replace the back cover

Boot as normal

If this post helps someone flash a new modem it has done its job.

Thanks for the awesome thread [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]

[Galaxy Note 3 General] MyKeyC:
Most compatible firmware, and Missing CSC and PDA

Hi there.

I have a SM-N9005 (HLTE), currently running Resurrection Remix 6.0.1

I'm just in the process of transitioning back to one of the S7 derived ROMs.

I downloaded and flashed N9005XXUGBOK4_N9005NZCGBOK4_N9005XXUGBOK4_HOME.tar from (from Sams):, although I'm not entirely sure which modem I have (possibly N9005XXUGBP1)

I have just downloaded N9005XXUGBOK9 for the bootloader, recovery, and kernel. There isn't a modem either in this or in N9005XXUGBOK6

Could you please inform me of which combination will be the most up-to-date (for a Marshmallow or N based ROM) AND compatible. It's such a confusing myriad of numbers and letters that, apart from a progression from, say BOK6 to BOK9, there is no logical connection.

For example Aryamod S7 requires BL_N9005XXUGBPB2_BOOTLOADER.tar.md5 &

CP_N9005XXUGBPB1_MODEM.tar.md5. Will there be any conflicts here, with my carrier, or with hardware? I really have no idea. Do all the letter/number combos need to match, as much as possible?

Kind regards

Michael

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

I forgot to ask: In this process (using the app Phone Info, I discovered that my phone does not have a CSC version or CSC country, or a PDA version.

Currently, this seems to be set via the ROM (at the installation process). Though it seems that this should somehow be set within firmware. Therefore, could you also advise me on this, please?

Thanks again.

The latest modem is not so god better reception with PB1 and gps lock with my experience (were i live)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
custom roms, especially ports from other devices, always seem to remove any info related to the CSC part, i use SamMobile's app to extract the same info, and many times i had the same thing, no problem to be honest.

Regarding updating, just update to the latest ones, Samsung wont tell us what they change so no point on actually discussing what revision is better. My only recommendation for you would be to stick to BL/CP (and maybe CSC) from the same package of the release, and dont get confused if, let's say, you download PDA PE4, and the modem or bootloader is PD8, very normal, and many times we see Samsung actually revert back.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] NateDawgg:
Hi [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]! I am using the Canadian Note3 (SM-N900W8) with 6.0.1 Resurrection Remix installed.

Using the phone info app I have the current info;

PDA: (Is blank)

CSC: (Is blank)

Baseband: N900W8VLUBMJ4

Bootloader: N900W8UBUCNA2

It is a MM rom.

Am I correct in assuming the most recent BL and CP are the VLU2DOH1 versions? Also should I be concerned about the blank PDA and CSC options? Thanks for the help, I just want to be sure to have the correct info before I do this!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jcadduono:
For Canada, yes those are the latest versions. As for your blank PDA and CSC, that is due to using a non-TouchWiz ROM (CSC are only valid on TouchWiz, flashed to /system/csc by recovery from a cache.img.ext4), PDA is your ROM version and that's self-explanatory.

I need to add newer firmware....

Would be nice to see Canada get an update again someday...been almost a year since last one!

[MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] I ran into a snag. I followed instructions. It passed, I went to reboot and I got the set kernel bit warranty thing. So basically tripped knox. The phone booted up fine but it was annoying. So I attempted to flash the stock kernel to see if that would do anything. Bootloops. But I backed up the modem(saw a post about doing so) and now am restoring. Hopefully this will fix this for the time being. Any idea why knox tripped. I though flashing BL and CP don't trip. Also when I booted to recovery, got the kernel warranty msg. This is the first time ever tripping knox, been doing the custom thing since my s2,s5 and note3. Any wisdom would being GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jcadduono:
Oh I hadn't looked at your post earlier well enough. You were on an older N900W8UBU bootloader (Mexico and SA regions) so booting the Canadian firmware with Mexico bootloader may have resulted in a mismatch of signature, tripping knox.

I'm not certain on the ability to cross-flash bootloaders between UBU and VLU. Did you follow the instructions on the first post and do cold boot battery pull into Odin before flashing?

If your phone was originally UBU I suppose you can continue on flashing UBU bootloader/firmware/modems (I don't think I've uploaded the latest yet)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NateDawgg:
It all works just fine, I just have accepted the fact that I will now have that yellow text. There doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of it but the phone still functions normally. Now to get the purify kernel to work lol.

So just to be absolutely clear - when flashing the modem you need to flash both files - modem.bin first then NON-HLOS.BIN?

What is NON_HLOS.BIN btw?

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

One more question to OP if I can.

I have a 9005 for UK (BTU). I'm aware that phones for different countries use different frequencies so I'm guessing that one shouldn't install a modem that's designed for another country CSC?

I am still on JB but intend to try going to kitkat first and then lollipop. I am trying really to improve my signal strength which is not very good on this phone.

My options for BTU seem to be:

Kitkat - N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNJ3_BTU

Lollipop - N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU

And for this I've downloaded the separate modem / bootloader for the lollipop from your ftp. But others talk about later modems and seem to install them regardless of the region considerations.

So I'm confused which parts - bootloader / modem / kernel wiill control the frequency needed for your country. Isn't it the modem which should be kept BTU in my case or am I not understanding the issues?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FabreFaction:
modem.bin is for your 3G modem, NON_HLOS.BIN is for your LTE modem.

I am using this for my UK N9005: N9005XXUGBPB1

My 9005 is unlocked and I use GiffGaff/Tesco/O2 networks generally.

Have fun flashing.............. FF

If you have ticked KNOX (0xX) and custom binary\kernel\recovery:

1). Set phone to "Download Mode";

2). Run latest "Odin" with admistration rights;

3). Unchoose "Auto-Reboot" from "Options" in "Odin";

4). Set "BL" and "CP" in "Odin";

5). Flash;

6). When "PASS" - unplug fablet from PC and remove battery on 5 sec.;

7). Do same from 1 to 6;

8). Power on fablet - you get latest bootloader and modem.

Hello Friends,

I Own a Note 3, International Variant, and was on Arya mod, it is an awesome mod.

Unfortunately it is no more supported.

I am not starting this thread to discuss whether what the developers of the mod did is right or wrong.

This is for many other friends like me (i know there are many) who were using the rom.

What Next ? is the question for which i have started this thread.

So guys please post your suggestions about which rom should we all use now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] yurmuki:
You asked couple of questio s in op.

I think kmokhtar has asked moderator to close his thread because he was not getting funds. Off course it was difficult for him to continue.

Also the current best roms are note 5 port. In my opinion au note 5 port is the best with idle kernel v6.6.1

Also this port seems really stable for me and is a daily driver for me. He has also fixed flickering bug.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Freyelis:
Sad that he discontinued the rom.. It's one of the greatest Non-ported roms around, and still is up to date.

Now for the next few months, I'm planning to flash Note 5 Port now, since Aryamod is no longer here.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] immi:
I would suggest Phronesis Rom based on Note 5 port of darkera13. Use it with ShinTo Kernel and convert your device's partitions to F2FS. Your Note 3 is gonna rock ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] yurmuki:
Phronesis is good port but has network issue. I flashed network fix also but the issue continues.

Specifically when you try to open websites in browser and apllication forums the internet works slow in this rom. This does not happen i itially but after several restarts the. Network behaves a bit slow in forums. Yes the downloading speed is fine

F2fs is real fast but upon changing rom in twrp the issue arised and the content was deleted while flashing other rom

I've have aryamod running and its the best ROM I've used in years if flashing so sad to see the thread closed.

I've seen a few devs ask for cash in the past then move onto newer phones leaving the contributors with nothing. Not saying he would but I didn't like the contribute or closed thread approach.

Anyway. Im currently running Morningstar's CM13 on dualboot and its a keeper.

Mega smooth. Lightning fast. Other than a few remaining sdcard rw issues (with fixes coming every couple of days) its stable and easily good enough for a daily driver.

If you haven't tried it you are missing out.

I'm also curious where to go from here, currently on AryaMod 7.3. Considering Temasek CM13 ROM today. I always doubt the stability of a port such as Note 5. It is from a different phone, surely it will have issues?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ithehappy:
Same here. Until I get a new phone I understand that this will confuse me even more. If Samsung had at least given us the official 5.1.1, I would not have bothered so much. But nowadays when people are using 6.0, staying on 5.0 seems like an annoyance. Mind you that I have absolutely no complaints with 5.0, but still you get the point, I'm a updated-nerd after all.

But after trying almost all the ROMs, I'm back on Arya. Face it, there's no ROM as stable as this. Running with Shinto kernel and its Precognition governor, phone is smooth as butter.

Tried the Note 5 port, (won't name), my respect to dev and all that, but it is just not a complete product, yes, it is really smooth and all that, but I never really was a fan of these 'ported' things. But if Samsung doesn't provide official 5.1.1 by year end, then I'll be forced to use those I suppose.

No comments about any CM, just isn't my cup of tea.

Hi all

If I choose to install a custom ROM, will I loose dual sim, good camera or any other oxygenOS OP2 features?

Also, what would you guys suggest I install as a better ROM than stock ?

Thanks
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trinaaa:
Sorry but if you read in one of this several threads, you mostly find the answer to your question in the first post! Why don't you search a second?!

No Fingerprint, no laser autofocus! I think these are the important features to mention.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shigi1231:
spelling check, i believe the word is "lose" lol

If you install a custom ROM, you will have gains and deficits. You will not lose dual sim, as far as most roms are concerned, and you will also lose Fingerprint scanner. The image quality that your camera will produce will be slightly lesser than stock due to the lack (i believe, and in accordance to my observation) of Laser autofocus, but the quality is not something noticeable unless you greatly zoom in.

These are just the common deficits you will face by getting a custom ROM, the other smaller factors are unique amongst other roms :)
[XDA Assist] Crazed Aussie:
I'm hoping some helpful folks can please point me in the right direction to allow me to unbreak my phone. It's a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5, model #: SM-G900T, running Lollipop 5.1.1. I downloaded the Lollipop 5.1.1 update without an issue. (This was about a week ago. I don't auto-update because I want all the bugs shaken out of any new build, and the various patches put in place.) Oh...Yes, I am based in the US.

A few days later I popped over to the Play Store and downloaded several apps, in particular, the CM Master Cleaner...Which broke my phone while I wasn't looking. Specifically, it deleted com.android.phone.

Now, I have various apps and things, some being rather important, not working anymore. I'm something of a total noob when it comes to phones. But I know enough to realize I am in deep doo-doo right now. If someone could please point me in the right direction so I can try fixing this myself, it would be greatly appreciated.
