How to flash baseband and bootloader for Linux users

You need Heimdall - use either GUI or CLI: https://www.glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

Basic tutorial using the GUI version is here: https://spoonjab.com/how-to-use-heimdall-to-flash-roms-modems/

Basic tutorial using command line (CLI) is here: https://ohthehugemanatee.org/blog/2...m-slash-baseband-firmware-on-a-samsung-phone/

Steps --

1. Download the appropriate bootloader and baseband files from the OP.

2. Extract both tar files somewhere handy (same folder/directory is easiest).

e.g.

3. Turn off your phone, remove the battery then put it back in.

4. Hold volume-button-down / home /power buttons together till phone boots into download mode. Accept warning to continue.

5. Use either Heimdall GUI or command line.

6. Detect your phone (GUI: Save PIT file).

-- GUI: Go to Utilities tab and click "Detect". Download your PIT file by clicking "Save As", wait till it's ready and then click "Download". Save somewhere appropriate on your computer (easiest is with the baseband and bootloader files).

-- CLI: type

heimdall detect

7. Flash the bootloader and baseband

-- GUI: Go to Flash tab. Browse to the PIT file you saved in step 6. Under the Partition Files box, click "Add". You then need to add the APNHLOS, MODEM, ABOOT, RPM, SBL1, DBI (sdi.bin) and TZ files by clicking "Browse" under the Partition Details section.

e.g.

-- Command: cd into the directory where all the files you extracted are. Type

heimdall flash --APNHLOS NON-HLOS.bin --MDM modem.bin --ABOOT aboot.mbn --RPM rpm.mbn --SBL1 sbl1.mbn --DBI sdi.mbn --TZ tz.mbn

e.g.

IMPORTANT: Please double check your command before running it and do not just copy the one above - the necessary command may change over time with Heimdall updates and file updated.

8. Wait for phone to reboot and then check your firmware versions in phone info against the files you downloaded.

Hi im newbie for this. Im really confused what to do first. I want to custom my note 3 N9005. But i don't know what to do first step.

Should i unlocked my bootloader first? Before i flash twrp recovery?

Or it's okay no need to do unlocked bootloader and just flash recovery via odin and im ready to go find good rom and flash it in recovery?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
If your bootloader is locked you are in the wrong model forum .

N9005 does not have a locked bootloader.

Usual method is to follow the instructions of your chosen rom .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] babku:
hello all,

Someone can re-upload the last bootloader ?

And / or

explain me or give me link to thread where it's explain, how extract "one file firmware" and make a file BL.tar.md5, I know many thread exists and i have read few of this but none allowing me to do it correctly with certainty

thank you for your help and sorry if my english is not good.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] babku:
Thank you for your answer.

I have already see some of the thread in link and i have a problem with this tuto, i don't have the same files in my firmware when i extract the tar.md5

For exemple, i don't have the baseband in "amss.mbn"

I think, i can extract two firmware, mix the files for have the last BL with the CSC i need, and make a new tar.md5 (with this tool : https://samsungvn.com/diendan/threads/chia-se-tool-build-tar-auto-samsung.1437/ ) for flash with odin => Can you confirm please ?

[IMG="files after extract firmware"]https://imgur.com/sbFffaX[/IMG]

I think i need the aboot.mbn ( bootloader ??)

rpm.mbn (i don't know)

sbl1.mbn (i don't know)

sdi.mbn (i don't know)

tz.mbn (i don't know)

NON-HLOS.bin ( code region?)

but i don't have the file MODEM.bin

I know i have doing something wrong but i don't know what, do you have any idea ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
Why not flash the latest firmware through Odin ??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] babku:
because i need french baseband and it's available only with old bootloader in a old firmware (2017)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Believe me, you don't need it.

Yes i guess i need french baseband, i have no certainty.

i have read few thread and i know it's not really country dependant but i have also read if there is stability problem with 4G , this can resolved it.

Actually i have a spanish baseband on my note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Whatever makes you feel better. Just flash the firmware if you somehow cannot succeed after reading posts.

But your 4G stability has no relation to that.

Hi [MENTION=8092410]Hereiwas[/MENTION] and others!

Could you update this thread? And post the files to download again? The files seems deleted.

And I think the latest ROM to extract the BL and CP is it:

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-3/firmware/SM-N9005/KSA/download/N9005XXSGBRL1/261595/

Could someone post the mentioned BL and CP for us?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if I can upgrade this old beast (Note 3 N9005 with Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8974, GPU Adreno 330) to a newer Android than 5.0?

I need at least 5.1, but 6.x or 7.x were even back ported to it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kramer04:
Are you sure about that ?

I thinked NON-HLOS.bin was for bluetooth and wifi and modem.bin for 4G ?

i'll see the thread
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
The idea is they are both modems. Bootloader files have .mbn extension. CP contains modems and BL contains mbn's.

Does not matter actually as long as you flash both of them.

There are ways to repartition back. But of course it will wipe the storage as when you repartition your PC. PIT files are present on xda, so if you somehow even accidentaly change it, you can get it back to working state.

You can convert img.ext4 to .tar and extract them. I can share you the tool thread. I used that tool to extract one system file from system.img.ext to try on a custom ROM. Maybe you can even replace the pit file if you find it (have no idea of location, but a quick google search would reveal you the answer). I would search about working of volte on only TGY firstly if I were you. Whether it works on TGY or only TGY. That is your main question isnt it? Though I still doubt you will meet any problems unless it is stated on firmware download site.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
First thing first, VoLTE on TGY for sure, “only on TGY” not sure, may be BTU, but it never worked at my end.

Actually, I did flashed TGY firmware on 32GB N9005, even though it was not a total disaster but was surely a herculean task. It took away my entire y’day evening, night and early morning today.

Flashing TGY rom was easy using PIT file available on XDA, but painfully found useless to flash TGY rom as its pre-configured with locked configuration to HK carriers. However I could retain 32GB memory. (needless to say, I lost all my data, which I already backed up)

Coming back to BTU/XSI/XSP was initially impossible, Odin will fail flashing system image saying volume size is too big 4620288 < 4718592 but then found success after flashing 10’s of different 32GB firmware.

Learning, PIT is not stored as file in firmware but it’s a (one of the) properties of system image file. If someone want to extract or searching PIT file in firmware, it impossible to find it. It’s like searching FAT or NTFS in computer system. When (and if) Samsung distribute firmware they distribute image files to make exact same working replica on identical devices. CSC, imei and other device info are stored in EFS which is untouched during odin, OTA or recovery flash.

In short, PIT is not a file which can be replaced in firmware or image file (system.img.ext4), but an information of partition and file allocation of a image file. PIT information can be extract from device (and probably only from device).

However, my VoLTE remain a quest :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
As I said I have no info and havent had any issues with pit file. I backed up my efs and downloaded the pit file for n9005 from an xda thread. That is enough for me. When I will have pit issues, I will flash it via odin.

Flashing firmware wipes your internal. That is not surprise, that is why it is told to backup to external.

From the talks with Kamy (AryaMod dev) he said for VoLTE to be working (on custom ROMs) on carriers that support VoLTE, a dev that has access to VoLTE should make it. Without having VoLTE available, devs cannot implement or test it.

By the way, isnt VoLTE a carrier thing? If your carrier supports it, flashing that stock firmware will give you the VoLTE capability (in csc) with other bloatware like from TMobile or AT&T...

I think that is enough OT on this thread. Good luck

Hi, I can understand different versions of the BL and CP but what do build signify? How do I know which build I have to flash on my N9005 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleo:
Newest BL.

And whichever CP gives best gps on your location (find those who are on same location or flash all CP one by one till you get good gps). If you dont mind gps, then newest CP too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anshulsingh:
what is XSA, TNZ, XSP etc ? When I see TNZ and XSA both are QA3 , both have the same bootloader version and have same release date .So what is the difference in them?

Thank you

Firmware 2019-03-03; Build date Fri, 07 Sep 2018 09:52:40

Extract firmware.tar.md5, 12 files.

BL = (Bootloader)

CP = (Modem / Radio)

For CP; combine modem.bin + NON-HLOS.bin.

For BL; combine aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn and tz.mbn.

Autotar are Linux program, I don't have Linux.

Also Root Explorer create and extract tar files.

Combine = "add to archive".

For Windows; WinZip, 7-zip, 8-zip .., handles .tar archives.

(unfamiliar with 8-zip, I create modem.tar file "empty" open that empty modem.tar and add files, same with bootloader.tar)

Odin flash; modem.tar bootloader.tar's successfully !

Nice; NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, compass, LTE works.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:
No and No
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dark$hadow:
Thanks, JJEgan.

I have N9005XXUPQB1 CP, which seems to work with LineageOS. But there are a few problems: The satellite lock works very bad or slow, it doesn't seem to lock on Glonass at all (though the gps seems to receive the signals), only GPS. Also, mobile radio seems to be a bit weak or unreliable, especially regarding 3g/4g. I am not sure, could this also be the fault of LineageOS and should I update to a newer version, or is this a problem with the CP. If it is the latter, what are other CPs that would work with newer LineageOS versions?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hassan 4:
(FOR "N9005" MODEL ONLY, ALSO KNOWN AS "hlte")

Since all links in the topic are dead. I downloaded EGY (Egypt) and NEE (Nordic Countries) firmwares, extracted the bootloader (BL_RL1) and baseband (CP_QB1) from them, respectively. The baseband itself solved a very weird bug for me which was sound quality issues like crackling on lineage or AOSP roms in general. I've decided to share them with you in the attachments as they are the most stable ones with custom roms. They are odin flashable tar files, download and add them to BL and CP, then press start, and wait for odin to show "PASS!" in green color.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] EeeK:
just flashed my n9005 to this rom from android 9.0 and so far so good

haven install magisk yet but wondering if there a need for this.

btw will there be any chance volte will work on this phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rollinrollinrollin:
Some Heads Up: I tried a bunch of different versions of the baseband and ODIN but to no avail. After the reboot I always stayed on the old baseband version....until I put out my SIM card. I am not sure if the flash after that did it or the reboot without the card was sufficient.

Is someone here with RRN 5.8.3 ROM on HLTE and got GPS working? I've tried every modem linked in OP and for the life of me I cannot get GPS to work. I'm having the (known) issue where you get a lock for (less than) a second and you lose lock for a few seconds with the short fix again in a never ending cycle. Basically GPS stopped working, when I updated to a Nougat based ROM (Trader LA / RRN).
