what do i put into each slot ie; rom in pda, which slot does kernel go in etc?
You use a tar file in PDA, don't extract it so you have the kernel and so on...
Sometimes you will have three tar files,
code - PDA
Modem - phone
csc - csc
These should still be tar files, possibly md5...
The stock roms always seem to come out in 1 file so just put in PDA, make sure repartition is UNticked and flash away...

Greetings;
If your ROM file extension is: *.zip | *.rar | *.tar | *.tar.gz | etc...
You must de-compress it and you will have the files you need.
Some developers pack their ROMs Differently.
i.e: 1 file (*.tar - Zip kind)
To flash them you must enter Recovery Mode (i assume you have ClockWork Mod Recovery) and install from "ZIP File"
If you have only 1 or 2 files:
in example: "I9003XWKPG_I9003XXKPN_I9003DBTKP2_HOME.tar.md5"
These files you must Load the file under PDA Section.
if the file extension is *.pit (obviously) just load under PIT section.
Let me know if you need any further help.
Please Press Thanks Button if it Helped you as this will keep me motivated to help others, doing Tutorials; Apps etc...
Reference Thread
Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 Lollipop Modems and Bootloaders​
Technical background
Actually, we have a dedicated thread that should host updated modems and bootloaders (for both I9500 and I9505). However, the thread was no longer updated since 2014, even the OP is never online since 2014. So, I created this thread to host all Lollipop bootloaders and modems for I9500.
Why do need we update our modem and bootloader?
As you may know, firmwares are updated often, as long as our device still get support from Samsung. Custom ROMs does the same. And often new updates are giving problems with incorrect version of your modem or bootloader (like you installed Lollipop firmware on KitKat bootloader). We need to update our modem and bootloader to ensure the maximum compatibility available and will keep us secure, everywhere (althrough we need an additional protection too).
Installation procedure
Installation via recovery (modem only):
Make sure you've installed the latest version of CWM/PhilZ/TWRP. I'd recommend TWRP.
Make sure you've done an EFS backup (just to be safe).
Reboot to Recovery mode by combination of Power+Home+Vol(+) buttons.
a. For CWM, select Install zip from sdcard.
b. For PhilZ, select Install zip then select Install zip from sdcard0 or sdcard1.
c. For TWRP, select Install.
Navigate to modem zip.
a. For CWM/PhilZ, select "Yes, instal ..."
b. For TWRP, swipe Install button.
Reboot to system.
If after installation of modem your baseband version is Unknown, restore your EFS backup.
Installation via Odin (modem and/or bootloader):
Make sure you've installed the latest version of Samsung USB Drivers on your computer.
Make sure you've done an EFS backup (just to be safe).
Reboot to Download mode by combination of Power+Home+Vol(-) buttons and proceed by pressing Vol(+).
Plug your phone to your computer.
Extract the archive (if compressed).
Open Odin and select modem and/or bootloader .tar or .tar.md5 file(s) into the corresponding location.
Select Start to proceed.
In case if your modem and/or bootloader isn't updated, repeat step 3-6, untick Auto Reboot, and select Start to proceed. Then, do a hard reboot by holding power button for 10 seconds.
If after installation of modem your baseband version is Unknown, restore your EFS backup.
How to contribute
You're welcome to send your contribution. Make sure that version you want to contribute isn't listed on this thread. You need two files: modem.bin and sboot.bin. You could obtain by extracting both files from stock firmware .tar.md5 using 7-Zip on Windows or Archive Manager on Ubuntu (remove .md5 extension first).
Packing into .tar file(s) (modem and/or bootloader):
You need an Ubuntu-installed machine or any distribution based on Ubuntu installed on your machine.
Move both files into your working directory.
Open Terminal and move it into your working directory. Example, if you're working on Desktop folder, enter this command:
Code:
$ cd Desktop
Pack one by one files using these commands:
Code:
$ tar -h ustar -c modem.bin > MODEMVER.tar [COLOR=Green]# Modem[/COLOR]
$ tar -h ustar -c sboot.bin > BOOTLOADERVER.tar [COLOR=Green]# Bootloader[/COLOR]
Replace MODEMVER.tar and/or BOOTLOADERVER.tar with version you're packing. Example, if you're packing I9500UBUHOK1 modem, change MODEMVER.tar to I9500UBUHOK1-MODEM.tar.
Add md5 checksum into .tar file(s) using this command:
Code:
$ md5sum -t PACKAGE.tar >> PACKAGE.tar
Replace PACKAGE.tar with .tar file(s) you've created. If you've more than one .tar file, insert one first and repeat this for another one.
Finally, rename file(s) using this command:
Code:
$ mv PACKAGE.tar PACKAGE.tar.md5
Replace PACKAGE with .tar file(s) you've created (without .tar extension).
Compress it into zip file(s) then attach it here or upload to somewhere else.
If you're a bit lazy to do all these steps above, grab any Odin flashable .tar files, delete everything and replace it with modem.bin or sboot.bin then rename it.
Packing into .zip file (modem only):
Download the attached template below.
Open it with any archiver app.
Put modem.bin inside modem folder.
Rename the .zip file to the version you've included.
Attach it here or upload it somewhere else.

CREDITS to @lch920619x for the original guide, @aboodyaiman for teaching me how to convert the ROM in the first place. This small guide is simply a newer one with updated links and steps on converting ROMs to work with 11GB pit. I'll add images when I have time yay
You will need THIS PACKAGE for converting between 8GB and 11GB pits, THIS PACKAGE for converting the ROMs you want to work with 11GB pit.
If you haven't download Odin yet then here is ODIN 3.12.3 ( you will need it to convert PIT between 8GB & 11GB
Installing the PIT files
1. Download the PIT Package
2. Flash pit your desired pit (PIT)
<8GB.pit to convert to the standard 8GB data partion - RECOMMENDED>
<11GB.pit to convert to the 11GB data partition>
3. Flash CF-Auto-Root (AP)
4. Wipe Cache & Data in stock recovery.
5. Flash modem (AP)
6. Flash param.bin (CP)
7. Flash custom recovery (AP)
8. Format all partitions using TWRP
9. Optional: Update to latest TWRP if you wish
Converting ROMs to work with 11GB pit
<Haven't test on Alberto's Lineage since I don't have the device anymore, REMEMBER that Alberto said he is NOT supporting 11GB pit for now>
1. Head to Python website, download and install Python
2. Download ROM CONVERT PACKAGE and extract it anywhere
3. Extract File context, system.new.dat and system.transfer.list from the ROM zip you want to convert in to where you extract the ROM CONVERT PACKAGE
4. Execute extractor and press 1, then press Enter three times
5. It will provide system folder when it's done
6. Extract boot.img, meta folder and file context from the original ROM zip again.
7. Replace updater-script with the one in the ROM COVERT PACKAGE
8. Add all to zip archive and flash your new 11GB pit compatible ROM
sry i am a newbee for packing and unpacking rom. I want to flash ALE95 n5 7.1. but since it doesnt supports 11gb pit. i am giving a try.

Hi
Try downloading your firmware from sammobile.com based on your country code and flash it with Odin while your phone in Download Mode, in Odin, check f.reset time and auto reboot, don't check any thing else.
The firmwares link:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/sm-n7505/SM-N7505/
SAM MOBILES FILE FAILED BUT "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip "
The file from sammobile (dot-com) did NOT FIX the issue of my note3 neo sm-n750; but with the old file, i tired before, ( "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip" from filehost(dot)com fixed the issue.
Why i failed before with the same file?
Actually i copied the "...full-factory ROM.. .zip" into an sd card and tried to 'install from the external sources' option in phone's recovery.
why?
As you know, the Odin only allow .tar,.md5,.smd .gz, .tgz formats; NOT ZIP file. I thought the recovery program can extract the zip file from the external SD card and do the rest . So i didn't try to extract it manually.
The zip file from sammobile contains only one md5 file. I tried it with odin's AP button and executed but failed with some error messages.
So I extracted "...full-factory ROM.. .zip file" (once i left), and I got AP, BL, CP, CSC files. then I selected and executed each file with ODIN's desired buttons and It gave my SM-N7505 a new life.
Anyway, Thank you very much dear Mr.MigoMujahid for spending time to help me
God Bless you

Hi Mr-Shihab
To flash a zip with recovery, then it has to be a flashable zip, it should be built in a specific way so the recovery can work with it, and the zip you have is a normal compressed files, so it can't be flashed at all with recovery, also note that the zip you downloaded from sammobile might be corruptedly downloaded, because sammobile offer a clean roms, anyway, you can also use samsung-firmware.org, it's a trusted site as well.
Ps: that md5 file you got works the same as the 4 files you downloaded after.
God bless you too
Had the same issue with a note 3 neo once, completely bricked it and couldn't flash stock firmware. Went to odin recovery mode as it is called (or something like that) and just put in some information found once you take the battery out and it did its thing and bam it is working.

There is Odin download Mode and there is Recovery Mode!!, which one do you mean?! ?
Also Recovery Mode is to flash files or wipe, and Odin Download mode is to flash files with Odin, how did you input anything there?!!

There is a recovery mode (not the one where you flash your roms and replace with twrp) in kies (my bad for not saying that) that reflashes the whole phone, you could literally erase the recovery or the kernel and you'd still be able to recover it which you can check out here
