Can u have Modem and baseband to Poland?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Use any of them available. They are not country dependent. Advised: CP of Nordic (QB1) and BL of Italy (QE1). Countries are just codes. It does not mean that bootlader/baseband can be used only by that country.

Explained 10-15 times in thread. Please read and search before posting.

P.S. Modem and baseband are same thing. Maybe you mean Modem and Bootloader

Thanks. I have instaled modem. Have a nice day! :D

Baseband problem

Hi,

I have a Galaxy Note 3 hlte. It shows good signal strengh, but voice calls all not going or coming through. Check attached photo. Have tried more than 15 basebands I found here on XDA. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
If using any custom ROM, please post on the thread of ROM or ask from the dev of ROM. Possibly your baseband is outdated or ROM does not support hlte

[MENTION=8092410]Hereiwas[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION],

I have flashed CP of Nordic (QB1) and BL of Italy (QE1) like suggested...Everything is fine except that the EFS/IMEI backup apps are saying that, they can't find any EFS/IMEI partition in the system...I have heard that it's due to the Lineage 15.1 rom which completely destructs the EFS partition after installing...I was not getting any network & the IMEI was showing as unknown & after installing these CP & BL, I got the network back...Earlier I was not removing the battery & it was not working at all...Then after removing the battery & by doing the double install procedure it worked & they have been upgraded successfully...THANK YOU...

I know many people who are using the Lineage rom have this same problem of getting their EFS partition corrupted after the rom install...I DID take a backup of EFS & Modem in TWRP before installing Lineage & after installing the rom, I restored to them but that didn't solve the EFS/IMEI partition not found issue...

Anyways, I got my network back...And Thanks to both of You for that... :)

Hi guys

I have a problem with the Note 3 N9005. The phone on version 4.3 did not accept the ota update. Upload it to Oden for release 5.0. Then the network disappeared and there was no imei.

Try different version of odin. I got same problem with my n9005, i try every different version of odin, and it works. Old version work
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
I believe your bootloader maybe locked. I think you need to update whole firmware instead of only bootloader or modem. As you read the thread name, this thread is only for N9005, which can update bootloader and modem without issues.

I am assuming you are updating with N900P modem, not N9005 one.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] YYCLeo:
I have this same issue and I've been trying to update my BL and modem for the last few days. I'm running a canadian SM-N900W8, wanting to update to the advised CP of Nordic (QB1) and BL of Italy (QE1) cause i'm having troubles with my GPS.

The current firmware:

BL version: N900W8VLU2DPG1

PDA version: N900ZCU2BPJ4

CSC version: N9300CHC1APGJ

Baseband version: N900WW8VLU2DPG1

ROM: AspireTeam.C9.V5.0

Kernel: lsskernel-hlte-can-3.9UX (I get better battery life with this kernel)

TWRP: 2.8.7

Is it possible to flash the BL and modem through TWRP? If so, do you know where I can find these files? Again, I'm looking for the advised Nordic (QB1) and Italy (QE1) BL.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Your device is NOT N9005!!! You can NEVER USE N9005 bootloader! Or you will BRICK your device and make it unusable.

Flash LATEST FIRMWARE for N900W8 from SAMMOBILE using ODIN.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] YYCLeo:
oh damn! I thought it was a variant of the N9005. Well, that's embarrassing.

Thank you sir for saving me from my own stupidity.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] audit13:
[MENTION=6156884]YYCLeo[/MENTION], as previously mentioned, flash the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900w8 from sammobile.com, update.com, or Samsung-firmware.org. After flashing, try out the GPS function.

Telus, Rogers, and Bell use the same model # so it doesn't matter which carrier's ROM you flash with Odin. You can change the CSC using the dialler after flashing.

I miss a bit .. but reading the last three / four posts, I see that everything continues to work as usual.....! Great
[Galaxy Note 3 General] .san:
I've been unsuccessful in getting a combination of CP_ and BL_ that works on my N9005. So far I've tried the following combinations:

CP_N9005XXUGBPB1_BL_N9005XXSGBQD5

CP_N9005XXUGPQB1_BL_N9005XXSGBQD1

CP_N9005XXUGPQB1_BL_N9005XXSGBQE1

CP_N9005XXUGBOA2_BL_N9005XXSGBQE1

As far as I know this prevents the OS to detect the SIM card.

Are there any steps / tests I can do to find out which combination works on my device?

Might there be other reasons why the SIM isn't detected?

I'm using the latest official (3rd August) build of LineageOS 14.1 as the OS.

Thanks a lot for any help!

I just want better battery timing rather than n

on screen 2 hour :( on whatsapp chat. so thats why i wanna try best bl and cp and kernel so if you please suggest me? best bl and cp in your opinion?

and also temme about latest bl, cp an modem
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
No best bl

No best cp

No best kernel

No best ROM

And etc.

These were already mentioned. Please read info on OP of this thread about bootloader and baseband and what they effect. You can flash them one by one and observe. They dont affect battery significantly. Your usage, battery health (try to buy new battery), flashing fails (less error logs the better), incompatible apps/modules (they provide error logs that heaten phone, decrease battery life and usable cpu), kernel choice (choose the one that is better fit for your usage) and etc are more important.

Your bl and cp are not old. So you are safe to use themor you can try changing and observe difference. Newer bl does not hurt but that is not the same for cp. You need to check which one fits your location (for gps) more.

[MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION] I could had PM you my question, but then thought to post in this thread so that it can be benefit to other too...

Is there any ways to flash TGY firmware (16GB N9005) to 32GB N9005 without any harm or losing 32GB partition?

If yes, can you please tell me the steps.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hereiwas:
I think that [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION] is not in the mood for answer to the same question once again ! If you read carefully the Eleo's answer you quoted, you can easily find the " solution" ( It is in quotation marks because it is a false problem ) ! Anyway... my device is a 32 gb, and as i wrote in OP, i try every file before to share, including the one you're talking about and surprise: my phone is still working and it's exactly like it was before. Now, for the last time : you can not damage in any way, even if you want to, your memory partition or something else!! I hope it is enough mate. Regards
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Well :) I am in mood but super busy.

Firstly, NMBNMB was asking about firmware, not bl/cp [MENTION=8092410]Hereiwas[/MENTION]. Pretty sure you didnt flash all the firmware.

Secondly, why would you flash only that one [MENTION=1599934]NMBNMB[/MENTION]? I havent tried and cannot say whether it will even harm your phone in any way. For that, you should ask the google about whether pit file is present in firmware. I am 99% sure it isnt present and you are safe to flash it. Because pit file is advanced android stuff and should not be pesent in such publicly available way. But to be on the safe side, google it.

And remember, you are only responsible for what happens to your phone. So, be thorough.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hereiwas:
yes i see now, forget it! I thought he was still talking about bl and modem..my bad, sorry [MENTION=1599934]NMBNMB[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RaduNastase:
So if i understand correctly, the multi rom tool works for N9005 as well. It is not Galaxy S4 exclusive.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Of course not. It works for more than 100 devices. See supported devices list. It doesnt hurt to read the OP of that thread though
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
Thanks for your response and also thanks for clarifying my question. [MENTION=8092410]Hereiwas[/MENTION] No worries......

I want to test VoLTE feature officially (possibly) only in TGY firmware. Trust me, I did lot of googleing before posting my question and could not reach to any conclusion.

Obviously, I am not a expert but I tried to opening up (unzip) the firmware files and found cache.img.ext4, hidden.img.ext4, system.img.ext4 and few others image, bin and mbn files.

What I understand from firmware files is that system files are flashed as image file, pre-formated to ext4. Logically, I can flash small image file to large disk, but vise as versa is not possible. If one shall flash small image to large drive, then the file allocation will be alloted as per small disk and then large disk will act as small disk.

Also, during firmware flash via odin it set PIT file (running comments shown during flashing on right side of odin window). However, I am sure there is a way to re-partition via odin but not sure how! so I asked expert like you.

Respect for your understanding!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kramer04:
hello

i just want to understand one thing.

When Samsung makes new rom, it creates 4 files , so i think devs and carriers can made their own apps and made their own firmware

so we have :

AP file: system + boot + persist.img + recovery + userdata

BL : aboot + NON-HLOS.bin + rpm + sbl1 + sdi + tz

CP : modem.bin

CSC : cache + hidden + pit file

but in your CP file you put in modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin

i think there is a reason but i don't know why.

could you explain that ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
CP doesnt contain only modem.bin always. Modem.bin is required for wifi majorly (many more functions) and non-hlos.bin is required for lte (4g) connectivity. So actually both of them are modem files and are mostly put inside CP.tar (with some exceptions). So NO. CP doesnt always only include modem.bin

We had discussions about that starting on page 1429 on phronesis note7 port thread. Feel free to read them
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Before doing anything you HAVE TO confirm that the flashing was successful. To check it, install Phone Info Samsung app on Playstore and navigate to its firmware tab. Check whether the BL and CP flashed by you are presented there. If not, then please read OP thoroughly, especially about removing battery part. 99% of users who failed flashing was because they didn't read that part.

About BL and CP: the ones that you presented as second option here (Nordic QD1 and QB1) are perfectly suitable to be used on note3 up to Oreo.

Please report afterwards.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] audit13:
[MENTION=9355050].san[/MENTION], I meant to say phone in my post, not login. Darn spell check on my iPhone changed it.

Good luck and report back with the results. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] .san:
I've confirmed that he flash was successful. Before I used this command

adb shell strings /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem | grep N900

That didn't confirm if the BL was successful but that was confirmed with the Phone Info *Samsung* app.

To confirm I flashed to the version you mentioned which should work (Nordic QD1/QB1). You can see the result here:

[IMG="firmware overview of note 3"]https://i.imgur.com/rSOzbHU.png[/IMG]

Note that the icon in the top bar still shows no SIM card detected.

FWIW, I'm flashing using heimdall instead of Odin which boils down to this command:

sudo heimdall flash --ABOOT aboot.mbn --RPM rpm.mbn --SBL1 sbl1.mbn --DBI sdi.mbn --TZ tz.mbn --APNHLOS NON-HLOS.bin --MODEM modem.bin --no-reboot

I'm not sure how to flash this tar.md5 using heimdall so I might need to look for a Windows box to do this with Odin.

P.S. Sorry I'm not sure how to create a thumbnail on this forum yet. Will update the post once I figure that out.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
I know that this combination works perfectly for lollipop, marshmallow, nougat and oreo (I have used this on all of them). The fact that it doesnt work for you, only means that you havent tried everything else.

One more thing you can do is to try other kernels and other builds of the same ROM. From what I recall, LOS nougat official and LOS oreo unofficial updates weekly for note3. Try another build. Also, try kernels like synergy, synergy unified and xenial. Those are fairly new updated kernels and also have effect on fixing sim not recognized issue.

As far as THIS thread is concerned, you have done your job correctly and there is nothing to add to your duty on this thread. For the rest, please follow up from LOS by trader418, xenial kernel and synergy kernel threads.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] .san:
I've tried the combination of the following set of ROMS:

lineage-14.1-20170713-UNOFFICIAL-hlte

lineage-14.1-20180503-nightly-hlte-signed.zip

lineage-14.1-20180802-microG-hlte

lineage-14.1-20180803-nightly-hlte-signed

lineage-15.1-20180506-UNOFFICIAL-hlte

RR-O-v6.0.0-20180211-hlte-Official

RR-O-v6.1.0-20180619-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal.zip

Long story short, they all fail to detect the SIM card. The more modern builds (Android 8) keep asking for the SIM code but never accept it. and won't even allow me to enter the home screen. The Android 7.x versions simply show the missing simcard indicator in the topbar. After reading some stories of people who got it running by flashing CL/BP after installing a ROM (I think someone mentioned it started to work after re-flashing the same firmware on a RR ROM). Tried that as well... no success.

Finally I've tried flashing with the latest firmware (CP - QB1 and BL - QE1) on various installed ROMS... no luck either

I've tried most of these with GApps installed as well, although I think it shouldn't matter, but that didn't help.

I've seen this thread, does it make sense to you?

forum[dot]xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/solution-lineage-os-sim-t3640689

So I'm not sure where to look for support/help on this issue. I don't want to give in yet but I don't see any practical options anymore without grabbing random ROMS and combining them with random firmware combination in the hope that something sticks.... Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
Does it work with stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Your issue seems to be defying the conclusions that were done under many observations, i.e. QB1-QE1 combination works best with all ROMs. Which means your case is exceptional. What makes your case exceptional, I don't know. Hundreds of users including myself have tested oreo/nougat ROMs with that combination and did not have no sim issue (other than custom synergy kernel, which was fixed with custom synergy unified kernel). Since the information providing your exception is missing, I cannot comment on or even advise anything. You could have faulty sim card or sim blockage. That is all I see from your post. Flash stock ROM and observe whether it works. If it works, then as I said, unless you mention or provide enough info about your setup to verify what is your exception, I am clueless.
