Hello? Yes, I'm a noob. I tried to read and understand, but was not able to.
I have bootloader unlocked and rooted 4.4.2 stock in my m8.
I want to install the 4.4.3 roms.
My simple question would be what are the steps to get 4.4.3 radio? installed
wait to make it clear you only want the radio of 4.4.3 or the whole rom ?
but if you want to install the rom you need to have sometype of custom recovery after you installed that (you can do it through rom manager app on google play)
after that choose your rom that you wanted to install and then just flash it using the custom recovery

You didn't mention your carrier, but essentially you want to update to the latest firmware first, then flash a 4.3 ROM. To get to the latest firmware you either take an OTA from your carrier, which requires being completely stock with stock recovery and no changes to system, or flash a firmware file that someone has extracted from the OTA package. The latter is imo easier if you are already on a custom recovery. The development forum for your carrier likely has a post dedicated to updating firmware.

Go to link i posted to get your vzw firmware up to date. An fyi when you said radios you meant firmware an the radios is inside the firmware zip. After you update firmware you can flash 4.4.3 ROMs.

Hello,
I have a Sprint Note Edge (SM-N915P) and I honestly don't like this lollipop update. I tried flashing with Odin back to KitKat but no luck and research on google says bootloader is the problem. Can anyone help me ? Any information on how to unlock this bootloader or just any method on how to downgrade back to kitkat.
I still need help!! Please anyone?
Thanks in Advance.

You need to flash the apropriate KitKat Bootloader for your Phone through Odin. By apropriate I mean 4.4.4 Bootloader for SM-N915P. You can search Google or download your Firmware from sammobile.com or sth. Then in Odin > BL > select your downloaded Bootloader and after it's done you can flash any KitKat firmware or ROM from recovery.
Hope it helps

Hello, Thanks for this information. I have the 4.4.4 Firmware for SM-915P downloaded but when flashing with Odin i normally use AP or PDA to flash, i never thought of using BL(bootloader) to flash the firmware. I'm gonna try using your suggested method once i get back home and i would post a reply back to you. I truly appreciate it.

NO YOU SHOULDNT. Dude you gotta flash the BOOTLOADER FIRST or it's NOT GOING TO WORK. Open your firmware with WINRAR or sth like that, find the bootloader, boot.img or sth flash through BL and THEN flash firmware through AP / PDA. You had it right all along, but you need to flash KITKAT Bootloader first

Hello again, I tried exactly what you told me to do but still says failed. I downloaded stock kitkat (4.4.4) Firmware, then in Odin > BL > and selected the 4.4.4 firmware. I've attached a picture.
But if you're just talking about just only SM-915P "bootloader" file for kitkat and not the actual full firmware, then it is not present on sammobile.com or on any place with google search. The only bootloader file i found was for the international version (SM-915F) http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/n915f-kitkat4-4-4bootloader-tar-unlock-t3063928http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...15f-kitkat4-4-4bootloader-tar-unlock-t3063928, even XDA website don't have the bootloader for SM-915P. :crying:
I've been trying for weeks, trust me. And i feel like i've reached a dead end and stuck with lollipop OS that i don't like.

Yes, i opened the firmware with WINRAR and no bootloader file present. I downloaded it from sammobile.com. Even after extraction no boot.img present in the file. Picture below.
You gotta go deeper...

The firmware file you've opened with winrar contains ANOTHER COMPRESSED FILE (the actual firware that's going to be flashed). You have to go deeper. Double-Click on that file ('blabla'.tar.md5). wait a while until you can see its contents in winrar and THERE YOU WILL FIND (among others):
* aboot.mbn
* NON-HLOS.bin
* rpm.mbn
* sbl1.mbn
* sdi.mbn
* tz.mbn
Extract all of the above files >
compress them in a .tar file using 7zip or another program >
flash ONLY THIS FILE through Odin | BL >
when its done flash firmware through AP / PDA
p.s. : If you cannot flash the .zip firmware then extract and flash the .tar.md5 file inside. AFTER you've flashed the bootloader

I was so impatient that i opened up a new thread on how to extract a file with winrar. I feel so stupid now. I should have waited for a reply from you first. I guess we still learn everyday. I appreciate the time and effort you're putting in this thread to walk me through. I'm forever grateful and thank you so much. I will do exactly what you mentioned and post a reply afterwards on the result. Thanks again.

yes you are...
inside the .tar file you created there is a folder that contains the actual files to be flashed. That's wrong. Don't compress a folder, just the files

Do you have any suggestions? Or can you link me to a kitkat bootloader i can download, like the one you use for yourself. I don't know if this is a Sprint note edge issue because all other variants of the note edge seems to downgrade back to kitkat.
Lollipop just have too many issues like the one you also posted about the phone heating up badly, that happens to my note edge too. Battery draining like no tomorrow, it's just ridiculous.
I just wanna go back to kitkat.
Thanks again.

Hi!
I am at the moment using latest build of FlashKernel but thinking about first reverting back to stock kernel, so I instead can flash latest ElementalX Kernel for 8.1.0 (March update.)
Now to the question..
How is the exact procedure and way to do this actually? I've tried google it but can't really find anything that tells me how-to do it. Anyone around here that can shed & share some light on this?

Flash the stock boot.img to the "boot" slot. That is to say:
Download the full image or ota from Google. Extract it and locate the boot.img. You may have to extract a second zipped file to find it , I forget. Fastboot flash boot path\to\boot.img where "path\to\" is the path to where the extracted boot.img file is located on the computer. Be aware that recovery lies within the boot.img so if you had twrp installed and still want it then it'll have to be reflashed with the two-step process (boot the .img and flash the .zip)
Hello guys. İ am new here and ı dont know how can ı use. İ need help for A530F device. İ rooted this phone and I wanted unroot. İ downloaded odin files and upload to device. Device has not opened when ı upload AP\CSC\CP\BL. But when ı upload just AP device starting but S\N and IMEI unknown. How can ı fix. Pls help me. ( Sorry for my English.)
You have to flash the latest firmware for your device. Failures such as yours are due to old bootloader/modem. They're older than the one on your device.
AP does contain system files and recovery, so it'll flash just fine. You need to find out what your actual modem version is, so you can flash a more recent one, if found.
If you can provide more information about your firmware, it'll help us help you.
Firstly, what it means flash.
I have already downloaded latest version (A530FXXULCUI1 TUR). But device not open.

Flash means to install something through the recovery. Or Odin.
Can you flash the modem (CP) alone? Using Odin? Can you flash the bootloader (BL) alone?
If it does flash successfully, you should receive your signal back. Unless you have a problem with your EFS partition.
