[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hatemarshmallow:
I have read many sources available online. These updates sometime is not compatible with our phones. In case of note 4, certain model's CPU faces shutdown trouble due to update the moment we lock the screen or in standby mode. To keep them running there are apps like wakelock. Download that and select option Partial_wake_lock. This will help a bit hopefully. Worked for me. But this isn't a permanent solution.

Apologies in advance if my terminologies aren't correct or the solution doesn't work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] namthang95:
Sorry for my bad English.

I have a Kindle Fire HDX 7". It had recovery TWRP 2.8, ROM HDX Nexus 4.05 (Kitkat 4.4).

Yesterday, I was up the TWRP to version v3.0.3-1 and up ROM to LineageOS. But the ROM isn't suitable for me so I roll back to ROM HDX Nexus 4.0.5.

I go to recovery mode, factory reset and install the ROM but It's say the vesion of TWRP is newer so TWRP can't install ROM. So I install the TWRP version v3.0.0-1 and reboot to the recovery.

But It stuck at gray logo and I can't boot to Recovery. I can't boot to OS because of factory reset, it's a black screen after kindle fire logo shown.

Help me please!

Ok to boot to TWRP download the twrp img file from XDA and put in your adb directory and type fastboot boot nameofimg.img it may not work the first time but it'll work second time.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Necronomynus:
You have to boot in fastboot and Flash a working Image of TWRP to your recovery partition

You can also boot TWRP from fastboot ready as noted by the previous poster.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PassatSport15:
Ok, I unlocked bootloader and rooted. No issues at all.

Now, I was curious on relocking the bootloader & load stock rom.

The method that I used to flashed the firmware was the Autoflash, something like that.

Now what I did was extracted all the files within that folder. And click the autoflash, mijiggy. Lol

But I believe the most current firmware was MPH24.49-18

BUT I had MPHS24.49-16 - from what I can recall.

Pretty sure that was the latest on the site.

After flashing the phone, it successfully with any issues. The root is no longer present.

But no matter how many times that I add "fastboot oem lock" which does say okay - finished.

I still get that bootloader is unlocked, after it told me it was finished, no errors....

The other issue is upgrading the software OTA, failed!

As far as the radio part, I hope it still works. I don't have an extra Sprint sim card. But I'm pretty sure it will be ok.

Appreciate your help and time to read my crazy thread..lol

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
A few problems here... First off, you likely had MPHS24.49-18-16 not just 16 (I don't think there is such a version) and the one your using MPHS24.49-18 is really old, it's the original MM firmware from Moto's website (the one on Moto's site is very old and dated incorrectly). We don't have the 18-16 image yet, so you cannot relock or even effectively fix this.

Also, you used a tool to flash, so when pieces failed to flash, you didn't even know it... And now you are in a mixed state with a ROM that is partially -18 and part 18-16, which is why an OTA won't take.

When you relock a Moto device, you don't just enter "fastboot oem lock" like a Nexus device, there is a process where you start with "fastboot oem lock begin" then flash a complete, signed factory image, wipe, and end with "fastboot oem lock" in one process.

Many parts to this process went wrong... Right now you are just kind of stuck.

BTW, relocking the bootloader has no effective gains except security... You will still be able to see in a glance it was unlocked from the bootloader screen or a fastboot command and the unlocked bootloader warning screen will still be there (you have to flash a custom logo to make it go away).
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
Did you make a backup of your stock ROM with TWRP prior to rooting? Restoring the backup with TWRP along with stock recovery is usually going to be the simplest and easiest way to go back to full stock.

As acejavelin stated, there really is no benefit to relocking the bootloader except from a security standpoint. As long as the stock ROM and recovery are restored to preroot condition with no system mods, you can take OTAs regardless of bootloader status.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PassatSport15:
My apologies for giving the incorrect info.

When I had purchased the phone about 3 weeks ago.

I upgraded the latest software update via Sprint OTA.

What would be the best route for me to learn.?

The phone is not going anywhere. It is a backup phone, current have a Note 5. So I might as well take advantage of the opportunity.

Being that I'm mixed with 16 - 18 firmware, should I get the latest MM? Or am I just Fubarred..lol

Now what is the latest MM that I can download? Only because I would like to do an OTA when Nougat comes out.

I guess my goal is to start fresh again which seems impossible for now..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you again!

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I think 18-12 is the latest we have so far, but trying to flash it would not help... Your best bet at this point is either custom ROM or wait until we can get the image for 18-16. The problem here is Moto's don't support downgrading, it can be done but it often leaves you in a mixed state.

You could try flashing the latest version we have available manually (don't use a tool) and it might be close enough to able to OTA from there. You have some though, rumor has it initial surveys for an upgrade on the Pure just went out to MFN users this week, assuming it is the Nougat upgrade trial then once it starts you have 4-6 weeks barring any problems they encounter before public release. Assuming of course that history repeats itself and Lenovo follows the same path as Moto has previously.

So basically I'm saying have patience... We don't know when (or really if) we will get the current firmware image, sometimes it's quick and sometimes it takes months.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PassatSport15:
Update on my xt1575, that I could not take an OTA, it gave me an error - unsuccessful.

My original software was MPHS24.49-18-16, December update, latest software.

Well, I went ahead unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, then rooted....

Days later I had decided to unroot, so I would be able to take the OTA.

While I unrooted my device, it was successful, but could not take the updates at all.

Now I reflashed again, in this order below.

Autoflash Script with MPHS24.49-18-8.

Reboot the phone, checked if it was unrooted (No root)

Now I went to software update, and the phone did it's upgrade, like last time. Did the update, device rebooted and it was SUCCESSFUL!

I am finally back to the original software MPHS24.49-18-16

Which was December 2016 update.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] atzakas:
I have the A2017G model and recently updated it to Nougat 7.0 via the official update file from ZTE Germany. I had this issue from day one.

After pretty much any phone call, I have no signal (not during the call, only after) and I have to wait 2-3 minutes before it gets restored. Sometimes I have to turn airplane mode on and off or even restart the phone (the latter only a few times)

I tried changing the settings and selecting my network manually but nothing helps. I didn't have these issues with my previous phones with the same SIM. Any ideas?

Newbyish question

I have been flashing roms to my Note 3 for some time now :) touch wood I have never totally killed it, a few bootloops and Samsung flash screens but all in all pretty cool.

I currently have DarkLord Reborn v3 about to go to v4 of this rom. If there is a better edge rom that people can suggesst even better but this one seems pretty ok.

I have tried getting the right BL and CP for my Note 3 but I am never really sure if I get the right ones as I dont quite know what im looking for in the name to be assured I have the right one.

Sam Mobile seems to have a couple of variations for my phone and I havent got a scooby doo which one is really for my phone.

My Phone is SM-N9005

Im in the UK

And I use the BTU thing ? :)

Can anyone point me to the exact ones I should have please :)

Thank you,

Carlton
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
You can use this tool and flash 2 3 or even 5 ROMs to your phone and switch between them with only one restart. That way you can see which you like more or less.

Saying one ROM/kernel/app/mod is better than other is not good since all the ROMs were built by devs for you for free. You are free to choose but not judge which is better or worse. You cab try and decode for yourself.

I hope I am clear

You can use the BL and CP on OP since they are for N9005. You can flash them on top of each other, even old one on top of new one. Just follow the steps on OP. That way you can test and see whether they are good for you. Mostly, for bootloader, the rule is newer the better. But that is not case for baseband (CP) since it also affects your gps status. Just flash them and see which is good for you
[Galaxy Note 3 General] carlton1972uk:
Thank you Eleo, I will look into this a little further, and I agree that all the ROMs I have used have all been brilliant in their own ways, so thank you again :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
Can I flash BL & CP of TGY on my XSG device without any harm?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hereiwas:
XSG is only the firmware's region not the phone model! CP and BL in OP are for SM-N9005 ( Note3 ) only
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
XSG, TGY, ZTM, TMS, TNZ, XSA are all CSC for firmware specific for a region.

My question was/is, can I flash different region CP, BL to N9005 from another region. For e.g. Can I flash CP & BL from TGY to N9005 from XSG?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hereiwas:
Of course you can
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
And without any harm as N9005 TGY has 16GB PIT and XSG has 32GB PIT
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hereiwas:
Mate you can flash all the cp and bl from op without any problem! Do not be scared, just flash and test to find the best for your phone.That's all ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
You are confusing firmware and PIT with bootloader (BL) and baseband (CP). Firmware contains bootloader, baseband, csc, recovery, system.img and kernel. Pit file is completely different file, it is rarely used and is for repartitioning of phone memory (as you said, for 16 and 32 GB separately). There are also custom PIT files (as for increasing /system or /data partitions for some reason). Bootloader and baseband alone do not contain PIT file, csc, recovery, system.img or kernel.

Baseband contains modem file for mobile data, wifi, gps, bluetooth and etc. Bootloader contains mbn files as primary bootloader (aboot.mbn), secondary bootloader (sbl.mbn) and etc. They only change modem and bootloader, but not csc, PIT, recovery, system.img or kernel.

I hope it is clear.

P.S. [MENTION=8092410]Hereiwas[/MENTION] you can copy this info to OP. It would help some users to not be confused

so what will happen if i downgrade to kitkat i will lose my current modem & i don't need to install it by odine again ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
You should check mixer_paths.xml for incall audio. I dont think modem (baseband) has anything to do with incall audio. It is for making connections for gsm, gps, bluetooth and etc. For example you shouldnt change modem if blueotooth audio is low, right?

No comments...

Maybe. Why dont you make a protocol and share it please, or better yet flashables with modem. It would help users without PC who cant use odin.

I'm on N9005XXUGBPB1 baseband and i live in India (purchased n9005 from UAE)

is this the latest baseband ?

I'm running on Aex 7.1.2 ROM

would be grateful if someone can tell me which baseband shall i flash
[Galaxy Note 3 General] r0bis:
From what I understand it is important to keep to the process to detail - i.e. turn phone off, take out battery before flashing and straight after as well. I used heimdall command line to flash - it is pretty straightforward and does everything in one operation when on GUI I would have to download PIT image first and then to add partitions (or are they called firmware images?) one by one. So more confusing and more room for error. I found this a good and concise info on how to do it. www .pasternok. org/ articles/ heimdall-bl-cp-hlte.txt (remove 4 whitespaces from link)

So my point is - maybe something went wrong with sound for me because in the first instance I did not do the process correctly, maybe because this was an incorrect firmware, but now that I have flashed the above modem and firmware correctly everything just seems to work. SM-N9005. I am curious how audio is affected by mixer_paths.xml

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

Where can I get some information how mixer_paths.xml works for incall and media audio? I have been puzzled by this. As you say I also did not believe modem/bootloader could have anything to do with phone audio, but I flashed the NORDIC modem/bootloader via heimdall and the audio distortion I was experiencing just went away. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
The mixer_paths.xml affects the gain, volume and etc of incall, media and other audio/sounds. In this case, asusgarb was complaining about "low incall volume", which can be controlled by this file. Though your issue of interrupts, crackles and hisses seem to be unrelated to that file, and more related to the quality of connection, which can be affected by modem/baseband per se

downloading from first post and flash with odin but there is no change on BL and CP in phoneinfo!

why?

should i flash it with twrp or ...?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Did you do ALL THE WRITTEN steps, including removing battery? Please explain. Removing battery is important step. If you do all the steps, then the bl and cp will be updated.

P.S. I assume you own N9005 device. Not other models.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] titan-computer:
oh thanks, my bad.

i've updated all that OK.

but my problem hasn't been fixed. cannot search manually network operators...after almost 30 sec it shows : Error while searching for networks

what should i do?

ps : i have n9005 hero2ltexx
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Choose a ROM that has fixed it. It is ROM problem, not baseband. For instance on MagMa NX it is fixed.

P.S. hero2ltexx is not N9005. Hero2lte is s7edge (AryaMOD ROM which was ported from s7edge). N9005 is note3, HLTE.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] titan-computer:
you sure that was rom problem?

i think because CSC wrong, can i change csc anyway?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
Yes you can change CSC .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Aroma installer of AryaMOD should have CSC choice. Try it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] titan-computer:
how?

you mean dirty flash? no way else?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Open ROM zip, find csc folder, replace with yours, reboot. Check csc from phone info samsung app. If ok, then check manual operator. If doesnt work and if it is "vital" for you, change ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] titan-computer:
changing rom is too hard for me and manual operators is very important.

i did change the CSC but doesn't work. is that different between CSCs?

what should i choose?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Dirty flash with other csc.

If it is important for you and you cannot change the ROM, fix the issue. There is no other choice.

Good luck
[Galaxy Note 3 General] titan-computer:
i mean what csc should i choose? :laugh:

what is the difference between csc?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
It doesnt depend on csc. That is what I am trying to explain. It works if I choose tur or btu or other csc. That is the function you need to fix. Not change csc
[Galaxy Note 3 General] titan-computer:
ok. understand that.

can i fix this function with replacing files? can you tell me the function name for searching about that?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
As I said, I cannot download whole firmware due to website restrinction. When you download it, extract the zip. Then extract tar.md5 using 7zip file manager (it seems total commander works too), then share me 7 files from inside extracted tar.md5:

- aboot.mbn

- modem.bin

- NON-HLOS.bin

- rpm.mbn

- sbl1.mbn

- sdi.mbn

- tz.mbn

Zip those files into a zipped folder and share download link. I will make BL and CP for you.

P.S. Don't forget the firmware version you are sending. It will be beneficial when writing the BL and CP name
