NOTE : For Flashing Modems you can use CP/PHONE in odin too.
For users who do not know how to flash stock please follow this great and easy guide

Nice. Let's hope this does help users like we thought it would..
Edit- My method isn't right. You flash the first time and then manually reboot into download mode then flash the second time.

do we have to be rooted to flash modem from odin? does it trip knox?
thanks

You don't need to be rooted. And I don't think knox will be tripped since you aren't flashing anything that's been modified, only flashing unsigned/modified images via Odin trips knox. But since you are flazing a signed modem you should be fine.

Hi,
Thanks for the guide. Very helpfull. I have a few Noob questions...
1. Do I have to do a full wipe/ cleam install after updating modem, or will the OS remain intact?
2. Where can I find the latest modem for N9005?
3. Is the latest modem always the best, or should I only update if I'm currently experiencing problems with the 'old' modem
Thanks...

1. No need. Just follow the guide, nothing more..
2. Check the modem thread that's in the general section, if you can't find it there then you may have to pull it from the stock FW. Also some roms devs have the modem in their OTA/OP so may wanna check there as well.
3. New isn't always better. Update if you have issues, if something isn't broken then there is no need to fix it.

Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 on N9005
Is there any method to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 bootloader on N9005?

with the current modem/firmware/bootloader (I don't know what gives me the issue) I cannot use LTE while I have an SM-N9005 and friend of mine with unrooted Note 3 (bought in a shop in our country) has LTE 4g, while I have an Italian CSC.
If I use a modem from an other rom, will I have LTE as well and still have my Knox intact?
Thanks a lot guys
Your threat was a live saver man. For a sec I thought I lost my phone. Flashed modems b 4 but thanks to u I got reminded to use the new Odin(stupid me used the old one).

You cannot go back to old bootloader once you are on KitKat, try flashing a new firmware.....

Are you Flashing the Full Firmware to update the bootloader?
Are you Flashing the Correct Firmware for your Carrier and Device?
Your Device is in Download Mode?
USB Debugging is enabled?
You Have the Samsung Drivers installed on your pc?
If the answers to the above is Yes - Try a different USB cable and Port on your pc

Thanks for your answer . Do i have to flash a full firmware and the bootlader at the same time?, cause i just use the bootloader zip to flash.

Ok I had a notification on the Moto G that there was an official Lollipop update available , along with a prompt to download 23.21.17 ( see attachments )
I initially tried upgrading from a rooted stock version of UK tesco firmware/Rom .
The firmware update started and the phone booted into a boot-loader ( with android image laying down ) The firmware update started , However this firmware update failed around halfway and the phone simply booted back into kitkat firmware/Rom
I then suceeded in re-flashing a stock UK KitKat ( 4.4.4) retail rom , then unrooted the Moto G , so theoretically the phone is stock but boot-loader is still unlocked .
I suspect the phone recognizes the boot loader is unlocked and fails to complete the update process
IS there a possibility this is an incorrect update ? I have not seen officail confirmation of lollipop for UK peregrine XT1039 yet which makes me suspicious of the new lollipop update on phone . Could this be due to me using Hola VPN ?
Please advise
Bump
I guess this means I have to update the unofficial way ?

Reflash stock ROM, and stock recovery. Ota will not update if the phone is rooted (even unrooted), if the system files are changed (xposed) or if the recovery isn't stock. So, basically, you can't use twrp, Cwm, etc. You have to be COMPLETELY stock.

Does it matter that the phone has been unlocked ? I mean an unlock code was used so it could acccept any sim card . Does that mean I have to reflash Tesco Firmware Rom , or would retail firmware ROM be ok ?
Hey guys,
I'm a bit confused on how to flash the above mentioned rom as I'm still on 5.0.2 even though the update is actually already out.
What confuses and scares me is the warning about the bootloader and modem...
Anyone did go from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 and flash xtrestolite as rom?
Help would be appreciated, I'm too used to the easy flashing of nexus devices
flash stock 5.1.1 , flash twrp through odin (take from their website to your device),**** flash unikernel I think for root access ****, and then flash xtrestolite from twrp.
**** = maybe not needed, but just in case

Everything is actually mentioned in his thread. Read it and ask if you have more questions.
But short. Flash 5.1.1 bootloader and modem, flash 5.1.1 stock, flash twrp, install XtreStoLite.

Why would we flash the bootloader and modem first? Wouldn't the 5.1.1. stock include it all?

I have absolutely no idea. I couldn't get on 5.1.1 before that, but I may have different something wrong. But it can't hurt, to do the above.
Judy follow the instructions on the thread.
Hey guys i have a problem with 5.1.1 and twrp 2.8.7.1: when i reboot in recovery i can't see my phone in windows explorer and i'm unable to copy the rom on the phone. Do you have the same issue?
5.1.1 For N910H Only
Hi Every one ... I'd Like to share my little experience on Installing Stock Rom 5.1.1 And Rooting + Custom Kernel
1- Download Odin3 v3.10.7
2 - Download 5.1.1 Firmware FOR N910H From Here , Extract it and Start Odin then select [ AP ] , select the extracted .md file
3- You must Select Nand Erease All From Odin options before flashing
4- Press start
5 - After Flashing and your phone starts normally continue with the setup wizard
6 - Download ( I Prefer ) TWRP 2.8.7.0 Custom Recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-treltexx.img.tar
7 - Flash the recovery with Odin again
8 - Restart your phone in Recovery mode
9 - install GoogyMax 2.0 Or Latest Talexop Kernel or Spacex Kernel
10 - Now your have offical stock rom 5.1.1 for N910H with fullroot with custom kernel ,
N910H Bootloader and modem Thanks for @liquidguru for sharing the link
Flashable Modems for 910H version Here - Flash in cwm or twrp recovery. No wipes needed
now you can flash other custom rom based on 5.1.1 like RulingLite or E-TEAM DN5
you can use 910c 5.1.1 kernels it also works on 910h i use it and it works
And maybe Enjoy flashable 300+ font HERE
I hope this was useful, i just collect what you needs in one place, thanks
Flash recovery + custom rom ( ie n910c ) + n910h bootloader.
If you want to use custom rom ( n910c rom without modem ).
No need to go through all those steps to get custom rom.

you can install bootloader via Odin

after flashing 5.1.1 Stock Rom , flash the recovery as i mentioned in OP using ODIN too, then u can flash any custom ROM even from n910c
but in case of 910c you should flash n910H modem and also you have the link in OP
by the way i test to use 5.0.x n910h modem with 5.1.1 and it works

Maystro be aware that if the custom ROM they are referring is a 5.0.x, they may have to reflash a stock 5.0.1 ROM or bootloader to make it work. Users are having problems reversing from 5.1.1 to 5.0.x because of bootloaders.

If you don't get OTA, use smart switch or odin. Smart switch is better. It could automatically decides which firmware is the most suitable for the phone. All you need is model number and serial number.

When I say update is like update a dead rom, like XtreStoLite ^^' not an official one. Thanks for your answer anyway
If you are already on a custom rom then most likely you have a custom recovery such as twrp. You can download a rom put it on storage and flash. I always do a full wipe when going from one rom to another (this is essentially a factory reset, so you will lose settings and apps/messages amd so on) but you can do a dirty flash where you don't need to wipe but there are possibilities of issues occurring. If you are on a 5.1.1 rom and whish to flash a 6.0.1 rom then make sure you update your bootloader to a 6.0.1 one.

The point here isn't to change rom by update. I have XtreStoLite I have modded it to be faster but the Base is old. I ask how to update the Base of a custom rom without change anything.
You would have to build the rom from scratch with updated base, as far as I know there's no other way.
