Bootloader with different CSC

I'm using the N9005 on T-Mobile's network in Detroit MI. I chose BTW in for the CSC when I installed my custom software. I just found out the CSC for this phone is Singapore. I'm only getting 3G and sometimes H+ for data so I thought to update the baseband. I see Germany (T-Mobile) has a newer baseband. The USA doesn't have a baseband for the N9005 at all. Can I use the newer Germany baseband? Should I change the CSC to Singapore now that I know it's the correct CSC ? :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Your answer is in sammobile site. If you look for firmwares of N9005 released for USA you will see that there is no USA option at all. Because note3 firmwares for USA are released for N900T, N900A and N900P devices for t-mobile, at&t and sprint-exclusive note3 devices.

You can change CSC by reinstalling the custom software you told. If it will not work, contact the dev of custom software
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kcohen67:
You didn't answer the question. Should I change the CSC to match Singapore (which I already did), and update the software according or Can I use the modem/baseband for T-Mobile (N900T) that is available here in the USA?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
I dont advise using N900T modems on N9005 phone. I dont know what would be the consequences
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
There are couple of people talking about flashing N9005 stock on N900T, but dont know if vise versa is possible.

I am really curious to know if one can flash N900T stock on N9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Try asking in Q&A forum. You will get a response
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zed37:
Hi which ver will be correct for N9005LTE in Poland - as i know im using some international ver so far
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Any of the given in OP will be good. There is no country dependancy as explained here. You have to try each of them and find the one that fits best.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iskyi:
Hi, I am using a HK Note 3 in the US on T-mobile. This is a pass me down since my OPO went for a swim and died lol.

I just flashed the latest Trader418 Official LineageOS [BETA] rom and am not getting LTE. Does anyone know if I can get LTE if I flashed the latest German modem posted? Right now I am only getting 3g on my phone. I am already on the latest HK firmwarem, so if I only want to flash the German modem would that be ok? Or do I need to flash both the German bootloader and modem at the same time?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
You should flash both bootloader and modem, since their contents may vary from thread to thread.

You probably need to select also correct APN and correct CSC. These are common issues met by users who cannot connect.

Also, flash stock lollipop beforehand to check whether the bootloader/baseband is enough to connect to LTE. If it is enough, then you need to get correct APN and CSC. For correct APN ask your local provider.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iskyi:
Sorry, what is CSC? I am not too sure what that is lol. I am already on the T-Mobile USA APN, using all its settings base on T-mobile website for connection for unlock phones. Everything works: sms, mms, calls, and 3g but not LTE.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anshulsingh:
Hi, I recently flashed latest baseband provided in this thread CP_N9005XXUGPQB1. Now my signals keeps on droping from time to time. My earlier modem was not the best but it worked better than this. The problem is that I dont remember which one was it. I use phronesis rom V6 on my n9005 . Can some one suggest me as to which modem should I try for networks in India?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonarudra:
Me too facing similar problems.... Same modem as yours. Battery draining fast and frequent drop of connection however gps is working fine
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iskyi:
I just try to change the CSC but the only available CSC on my phone is the Hong Kong and Taiwan one. There are no USA version to select. Is there a way to change it to USA? Any help would be appreciated.

I also try installing the German modem and bootloader since T-mobile parent company is base there in the hopes I can get LTE but after installation I lose my IMEI number. I am on stock rom since it is better to do it on stock rom and the use a custom rom when everything works.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
Do you have a N9005 ??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anshulsingh:
did you try with a different baseband?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonarudra:
Not yet but back to phantom kernel. Lss kernel was giving eroors and consuming battery a lot

Hi Sir,

Can you include the BL and CP of this firmware(GALAXY Note3 SM-N9005 XTC Philippines (Open Line) - N9005DXSGBQA1)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stuartbdavies:
Are the BL and CP paired with each other and must come from the same ROM, or could I install the very latest BL (say BL_N9005XXSGBQD1) with a CP specific to my country (say CP_N9005BTUGBOJ1)?

Regards,
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
You can.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stitchface:
Stupid question. Can I turn my sm-n900v into n9005 by flashing n9005 bootloader and modem? I want nethunter but I've had no luck with the n900v variants
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kiss.bd2@facebook.com:
Hahahha stupid ans .... yes u can trun man to cow . In to eating grass . Sorry ... man
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
Take it as above poster does not have a clue .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] asusgarb:
I can't understand something about BL and CP versions, so I hope you can help me understand.

Actually the most recent official rom is Italy h3g. BL is QE1, but CP is older than the Nordic Country one.

So newest rom doesn't mean newest CP too, right?

But sorry, how can I find CP infos? on Sammobile only available data are BL and CSC.

Can you give me a hint?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Yes. Newest firmware doesnt mean newest CP.

Only after flashing firmware or CP extracted from firmware to your device using odin and checking settings/about/software info page in your device. But I never cared about newest CP. New BL never worse than old BL. New CP sometimes worse than old CP.

So, no. I check only BL when flashing firmware or BL&CP extracted from a firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBlitzS:
No Europe Bootloader and Modem?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
BL and CP for whole europe? Italy, Slovakia, Germany and Nordic countries are not in Europe? And why you need "Europe"? Bootloader does NOT have country. Read explanation in OP. Newer the better. Same is about Modem, no country dependancy. But it is not "newer the better". You need to test each and every one of them one by one to find suitable for you. So why insist on "Europe"? Try any bl&cp in OP. If you dont like any of them, flash firmware downloaded from updato.com or sammobile.com.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
YES in the firmware on sammobile.

Flash the stock rom and you have them both .

But no such country as Europe .

/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N9005/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBlitzS:
Ok, I want to flash it only with a Rom I've installed so no stock rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
Select stock rom and extract mode and bootloader.

Or search for the BL CP you use,
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBlitzS:
Thanks for making it clear. I thought you need a bootloader for each country. So I can flash any bootloader and I have to test which one will work?

Because here it said:

Samsung firmware TGY build 21-10-2016 Country Hong Kong (PJ2) SM-N9005 and more country names, so that is why I asked if there is a specific one for The Netherlands or Europe.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
You asked for Europe only -=NO

Netherlands yes 3 network providers firmwares on sammobile .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBlitzS:
I downloaded new firmware of sammobile but when I extract it I get a MD5 file so no BL and CP. Can you explain how to do it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
A long procedure to explain from start for a new user. Better to use extracted ones

It is just an identification. Samsung releases firmware with a country name. In our country we dont even have N9005. We only bave exynos version note 3. So by your principle I should not be able to use any bootloader or modem.

:D

No. You can try any bootloader and modem from this thread. Doesnt matter to your country or not. As long as it is for N9005, you will not have any issues. Just finding a good modem may take a while. But you can find it in your first try too. Try to use the same bootloadee modem couple. Any bootloader newer than PB1 (explained here) will be good.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] asusgarb:
Probably one of the easier way is sing SamFirm Tool https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 (the tool, not the site).

If you download the rom in binary mode, once extracted you have all 4 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC). They appear also in firmware description, but without CP, BL.....

I add a screen of example where I chose latest BL reading on sammobile
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBlitzS:
Ok thanks for the explanation! I already have the latest Firmware for my N9005 (downloaded on Sammobile), does it mean I also have te latest Bootloader & Modem from Sammobile?

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Thank you, that makes things lot easier if I can try and use every bootloader and modem (for N9005) and not only the ones for The Netherlands
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Actually you dont need to update. Yours is already up to date right now (newer than PB1)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBlitzS:
Thank you for letting me know. Sad to hear, because my rom doesn't work that good (booting is very slow etc. Rom is MagmaNX) So I thought a new bootloader would fix it.. So this one is older than the one I already have?: xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/general/modem-bundle-odin-samsung-usb-driver-t3567206
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Mine is QA1. But I used PD1 for long time. No issues. As long as it is newer than PB1 -> no issues. As I told you.

Booting very slow? How much? I suppose it is your first custom ROM. I advise you to compare once you have seen other ROMs too

;)

You should try changing kernel (will remove root and xposed in MagMa - read OP of MagMa for "root type selection)

Kernel tweakd

Faster phone -> higher battery discharge

Low battery discharge -> slower phone

Best advised kernels: phantom kernel (MagMa NX first page F.A.Q. post) or darklord kernel (google search to find -> prohibited to share in XDA)

That is all I can provide in this topic.

Good luck

Thanks for the information! Will try the rom with the Darklord Kernel! I already have installed some custom ROMS on my I9505 (S4) before and it all worked great, so I saw the MagmaNX Rom and it looked so good, so I tried it on my Note 3!

How to update BL and CP using Linux?

I only have Linux computers, Odin seems to be a Windows only software.

Can anyone please tell me how to update BL & CP from Linux?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Justben13:
Install a program called (Heimdall) it's like Odin but for Linux.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] garzaj:
I just installed it and it detected my phone, it is command line, so do you know how do I update BL & CP with Heimdall?

I also tried the print-pit action, but it fails. So I have the feeling it doesn't really work.

I assume I must flash, but what would be the right commands? This is the help:

Action: flash

Arguments:

--repartition --pit <filename>

--<partition name>|--<partition identifier> <filename> [...]

[--verbose] [--no-reboot] [--stdout-errors] [--delay <ms>]

[--usb-log-level <none/error/warning/debug>]

or:

--<partition name>|--<partition identifier> <filename> [...]

[--pit <filename>]

[--verbose] [--no-reboot] [--stdout-errors] [--delay <ms>]

[--usb-log-level <none/error/warning/debug>]

Description: Flashes one or more firmware files to your phone. Partition names

(or identifiers) can be obtained by executing the print-pit action.

WARNING: If you're repartitioning it's strongly recommended you specify

all files at your disposal.

Does it necessary back to stock firmware 5.0 before updates the modem & BL

I'm on a custom rom 6.0.1 MagMa NX UX9.5

P.S Just am asking
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
No. You can update them whenever you want. Some key steps (as explained in OP) should not be missed like removing battery after powering off and before booting into download mode. Otherwise no problem. You can do it in nougat custom AOSP ROM or dualboot woth MM and nougat ROM (or any other configuration) too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBlitzS:
Yeah, I know! I have a Note 3 AND S4. That's why I installed it on my Note 3. I also have a S4, with the WizCyan Rom installed! So it's not my first Rom and that's why I asked if the start-up time is normal on my Note 3, because my S4 is super fast with all the Roms I've tried before. I hope this makes everything more clear!

I'm based in Malaysia, the closest country from the list to me is Singapore. My phone is n9005 international, I'm using latest trader418 LA14.1 But I was advised to flash Nordic bootloader and baseband files. My GPS does not work. Doesn't connect to any satellites, at all. Can I only flash modem for Singapore, maybe that will fix my GPS? Or do these files have to be flashed together. I don't think my GPS issue is that the ”contacts aren't touching", i tried that it didn't fix anything.

Also how come my firmware isn't recognized?

Thanks to firmware sound issues went away

Thanks;

I installed LineageOS and as my SIM was not detected I looked for firmware. I found this page and jcadduono post. I went to updato.com recommended via jcadduono; got the latest firmware for my country (GB). First that firmware download was 2 G in size - I understand this includes the official samsung image, probably. I found then another most up to date firmware there for GB and flashed the modem and the bootloader. SIM started working and GPS was fine, however there were huge problems with sound. Interrupts at moderate system load, crackles and hisses at specific interactions with UI, quite mysterious. I even submitted a bug with details including waveforms at Lineage JIRA bugtracker as REGRESSION-983 Audio distorted when switching apps (it was rejected as it was not a regression). So I did not know what to do and went back to this thread and downloaded the latest NORDIC firmware, flashed and audio issues are completely gone now. Fantastic. For a beginner like me it was hard to know that audio could be so affected by firmware. There were, it would seem, issues with buffering and with reaction to application focus change so I would have thought that was an OS bug, but your firmware page fixed it. Now I am enjoying good sound and a great phone; thanks a lot!
