SM-N900V on CM13 Radio working

When i noticed the bootloader unlock I was extatic, but I knew there probably wouldn't be many reliable roms out there. I ran into most of the problems I've read through in these forums, mostly no radio or sms even though I followed instructions to a T. It came down to Flashing a radio zip SPECIFICALLY for the 900v. See, when I would get CM13 installed, my phone suddenly shows up as a 9005. Now, I don't pretend to know anything about android development, but I DO know firmware, "drivers"... they tell software how to use the hardware they're operating on. If My phone thinks it's a 9005, it probably also thinks it has a 9005 modem. There were other little quirks like governors, but i won't get into that . In the Jasmine Rom 6.1 announcement page/instructions, there's a little section at the end for "Developer mode" phones. It had 2 additional files to flash after the rom. A standalone kernel, and STANDALONE BASEBAND. I had seen several people say their 900v was now "developer" or something, so i had an idea. Here was the process:

Into twrp 3.0.2, running Jasmine 6.1...

Factory wipe, Flash latest CM13 9.9, wipe dalvik, flash google apps, wipe dalvik, flash CM13 9.9 AGAIN (not even sure this step is necessary), wipe dalvik, flash SU, wipe dalvik, REBOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE, Flash N900VVRUE00F1_Modem.tar.md5, reboot into recovery, factory restore.......

Finally, booted to system and I'll be a sumbitch, the radio's working.

I'm willing to wager all those other roms i tried out, where the radio refused to work, would all work if i had just flashed this baseband. THAT'S EXCITING.

I'm shocked I never read about anyone else doing this, or why i didn't think of it before: that there was a way to flash individual parts of the whole "ROM".

I later flashed the kernel from the Developer files as well via Odin. "lk_hltevzw-v6.4"

What I Wish I knew how to do is take a factory rom or flashable zip and make flashable versions of the kernel, baseband, bootloader perhaps, etc.

Anyway, I genuinely hope my trials help you guys get some cool roms up and running on our 900V's.

Is this the right file?

Hi. Thanks for sharing this fix that you discovered. I'm not real knowledgeable about ROM flashing, etc., so I want to make sure that I'm using the correct file. Is this the JasmineROM announcement page that contains the correct radio file you used?:

[ROM] [LP] [5.0] [RE/DE] [Xposed] [MultiSystem] JasmineROM v6.1 [Sep 11, 2015]

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62769340&postcount=11940

Since I'm a noobie XDA user, it took me forever to find this thread. Is it the correct one? Again, thanks for sharing this information.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
Thanks.

Do you have the original (trader418) file cm-13.0-20160407-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-hltespr-V6.1.zip ? I looked on [MENTION=4841524]trader418[/MENTION]'s basketbuild and google drive, the "OLD" stuff there only runs back to about 04/29-30 or so.

I'd like to compute the deltas (hltespr -> hltevzw). Or is literally the only two changes in build.prop and the assert in the installer?

I'd like to get off of rooted stock; the only thing that holds me back is GPS. (I don't care at all about NFC and very little about BT).

.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tommyjarvis2756:
Yes, that's the right page, download "FLASH N900VVRUEOF1 modem via Odin" located under the "For Developer Edition". The file is named "N900VVRUEOF1_Modem.tar.md5.7z"

unzip the file, then flash it via Odin.

Thank you for this ^^^^^.

I flashed it and configured it last night, & had to drive 38 miles each way (to & from) work today. So I ran a track logger app on both drivesw.

As you said, GPS is solid as a rock in this older (v6.1) Temasek CM13 ROM - no missing segments, no giant offsets. I had just assumed that GPS was always flaky in CM13, but this is good news (sorta) - it means we have a reference version of cm13 to compare to that actually works!

Maybe that will make it a bit easier to figure what went wrong in the newer releases.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
I don't think Trader was building VZW yet on 04-07. The link is to a kanged version of the Sprint CM13 that I repackaged.

And yes... those are the only two differences.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:

Will it do Bluetooth stereo correctly? I ask because that's one reason I'm sticking to a TW based rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
Not sure if you were asking me or someone else. I've used it with two BT devices, both of which worked (a laptop & an OBD II engine reader), and it worked without hiccup but I haven't tried it with any audio devices.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] landwaster:
It works! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I flashed this version of the ROM you provided, and it's working perfectly for me. The GPS is totally solid, and the system functions flawlessly. I can attest that it also works with Xposed perfectly. This was the only version of CM13 I installed where the GPS worked. As for the Bluetooth, I do know that it sync'd with my car and fitness tracker with no problems. I don't have any BT stereo headphones to test, sorry. Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
The only thing I have noticed so far is that the current YouTube app seems to get "stuck" quite frequently. It is responsive to touchscreen input, but after it plays a few clips it won't play any streams any longer, and I have to kill it off in the task manager and restart it. (There is no "play" button visible, almost as if it thinks that it is playing.) I have a different Android device on the same WiFi network that seems fine in this regard. Not sure what to make of it at this time.

Very happy to have working GPS on a CM13 ROM though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] marblesmike:
Installed this last night and no major issues so far. Good battery life, BT stereo streaming works (I have a BT stereo in my car and it paired and streamed flawlessly), good GPS, etc. Much more stable than the Darklord MM rom in which I would randomly not get text messages.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] marblesmike:
Update: only issue I'm having is with BT calling. I can stream audio over my car stereo via bluetooth but when I try to make or take a call I get no sound or garbled sound.

Any ideas? I'm checking out the Temasek thread and he's up to version 10.3 for Verizon phones/sims so I'm going to back mine up and give that one a shot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrfollis:
Same here, Darklord MM rom worked great at first, then over time text message problems then mms not work at all then no text or mms., Now I'm back looking for a more stable version or fixes or another Rom.

Any help or direction to another great rom like darkloard mm but working would be great. (I did try installing the zip for mms fix at no avail, even after re install and following the step by step proceedures on the videos..

Thank you all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] marblesmike:
Update:

I installed Temasek 10.3 for Verizon and had the bluetooth calling issue as well. So I downgraded it to 10.1 (someone said BT was working for them there) and still no bluetooth calling. I found a "Purify Bluetooth fix" zip and flashed that and voila no more BT calling issues.

I flashed this today, but I cannot get Skype to work. As soon as I open it, even before I enter my information, it stops working. Has anybody else had any issues with this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
I don't use Skype so I can't say.

I will say that I've had crash-on-open app troubles on a few apps that work well on stock (on several different Android device types) but aren't happy on various versions of CM. Not a ton of apps, but it happens.

If you are curious as to the mechanism, usually the "logcat" will have a java stack trace in it that will give the approximate location of the crash mechanism. Some app devs will be responsive if you provide them that kind of diagnostic details. I wouldn't hold my breath expecting Microsoft to do that, but you never know. Just don't mention CyanongenMod ;)

As far as using logcat goes, I've tried using a few logcat-recording apps. They work, but the typical output of logcat is so prodigious that it is tedious to look through logs on the device using the app, so I just capture the files manually (either using ADB on the PC or a terminal emulator on the device) and move the log files to a PC to look at them.

su
# clear the current log
logcat -c
# start logcat ; proggy will run until ^C
logcat -v threadtime >> /sdcard/logcatcrashcapture.txt
# put terminal emulator app in background and start up the problem app, then Ctrl-C after the crash
^C

good luck

So I tried this to a tT Question is do you have a developer verizon phone? I know I do not have a developer phone because any htlevzw rom or zip does not work. I tried flashing the kernel and it would not work. My phone is SM-900V retail version NOT developer on Verizon and does have TWRP installed and bootloader unlocked. I need help getting Tema to work on mine w/ cellular towers. Only lollipop seems to work which means Jasmine Rom

No matter what my phone thinks its still SM-9005. And my Sim voice says out of service. My Data is in service and i can use 4g to download though

I tried both Tema version CM13 v6.4 and CM13v11

FWIW, here is the build I am running already modded to remove the assert and have basic VZW functionality in build.prop

Use at your own risk :)

I can confirm this is the only rom i have seen radios work on. gonna try to stay on it for the next few days. I do have a question. Every rom I have tried out is now getting "the kernal is not seandroid enforcing" on boot, including this one. It's installed with twrp 3.0.2.1. It boots fine, I'm just wondering if this will effect anything or can i ignore it?

Falling back from what? You can not take a phone that has been upgraded to 4.4.4 or above and 'fall back'
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] OffTheChainz:
Figured with a unlocked bootloader running TWRP no longer on safestrap it would be possible now to still load older roms along with the new.

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

I tried using resurrection remix. It ran great and looked sweet. But it wouldn't connect to VZW. I used Odin to get back to stock. Ready to make another attempt at a new rom. Wish there was a recovery flash able stock rom I could use with TWRP when all fails on testing a functional rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
It's not... The bootloaders are incompatible.

You can load Jasmine ROM 6.0.1 (based on Lollipop not Marshmallow)

Thank you will give Jasmine a try

BTW Donc appreciate all your help on the other thread to unlock bootloader! All your post are very informative and easy to read.

[MENTION=3683732]mightysween[/MENTION]

While trying to research RIL/baseband for CM13, I have tested virtually every ROM for n900v with various combinations of KK and LP modems.

So far, these are the only two that have worked for me...and I must say that the first works VERY well... tempted to use their sources to build out CM13.

Bro....Try to update the Thread
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
After 2 years, generally people assume a thread is not "active".

I suggest u better update the thread coz now the n900v has many Oreo cool and sweet working ROMs, they r smooth and fast.....

They include Havoc, Liquid Remix, Dotos, Lineage, Pixel Experience, etc

My favorite daily driver is Havoc, its gat extra features that ain't in the others, Liquid Remix also has features almost same as Havoc except that on my phone Liquid heats unnecessarily

Rr-n-v5.8.5 working on vzw note 3

In case anyone is still using the Note 3 from Verizon you are able to use RR-N-v5.8.5-20180313-hltetmo-Official-vidwhal.zip

I have been using this Resurrection Remix Nougat as my daily driver for months now with no major issues. LTE working just fine.

You must flash twrp-3.2.2-0-hltetmo.img to use this ROM. Along side that I flashed the 7.1 pico gapps and Magisk 17.1 I also use Substratum with this ROM which is nice because it includes Overlay Manager service. I've had this Note 3 since it Kitkat so it is nice that there are other options. Despite older hardware, this Note 3 still holds up quite well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
To be safe I Odin'd the latest firmware 0F1 because they usually have requirements that come from the latest firmware that the rom does not come with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tomixnscale89:
Flashed Dirty Unicorns and wow is this fast. I actually think i'll stay on this even if CM 13 comes out!

I did have trouble with google play services working with the stock gapps. Once i flashed the nano version it worked fine.

A lot of times flashing older ROMs you will run into the Google Play Services thing... usually it can just be updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dreyeth:
Yeah I tried toggling it back and forth, and a bunch of other things, I just tried the 'magic number' got a Verizon phone service recording saying

my feature update could not be completed.

I'd be testing out that CM13 build that a lot of people have had good luck with, but it goes into a crash loop on the very first chance I get to click a button... o_O
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
Hmmm...guess Straight Talk is its own beast. Not even sure how they could lock down the magic number. I would guess the reason you can't get into that is the same reason you can't get LTE

I still can't figure out why CM11 radio doesn't work with NC4 or NK1 modems... so strange since CM11 was an official build.

For those interested more in battery life and performance than running the latest and greatest, CM11 (and all the options based on it) would be a good option.

I wonder if the CM11 kernel is choking on the 4.4 stuff... I think today will be a kernel experiment day

so I still think its one of the best.

can't connect).
