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.....

My phone currently is running the KOT49H.N9005DXUGNH1 rom, but i have a need to flash the N900XXUDNC1 modem. Can I do that?

nice one thanks

@fahadali2315 a suggestion from my side, why don't you include this link for latest bootloaders - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12697
and this link for latest modems - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/ref-galaxy-note-3-sm-n9005-gsm-modems-t2842806

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.

I'd personally flash the full Firmware - Benefits... Updated bootloader - Updated Modem & Any associated "fixes".

[D850][Stock]Need stock image for D850 10L

So I have an LG D850 running 4.4.2 and I am unable to go into either Download mode or Recovery mode as I think the laf.img and recovery.img are not correct.
The software version shows that its running D85010L.
The codefire site only has the stock images for 10D and 20F (cannot link, new member)
Can someone point me to where or how I can find the 10L images?
I have been unable to find the firmware image as well so I could extract them from there.
Much appreciated in advance.

It's the US model so firmware options will be lacking. That's the ONLY available tot files available. I don't think it will matter would as D850 is your model and as long as your flashing what's meant for your model it shouldn't matter.

If you cant get into download mode or recovery, how are you trying to reinstall the firmware?

Can anyone provide me latest stock firmware for Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J710FN)?

Hi!
I am in need of latest stock ROM available for Galaxy J7 (2016) Indian variant, which should be flashable through Odin.
After last update in my phone, I could not flash the older firmware through Odin. It shows firmware binary as 3 and device binary as 4.
So, that's why I need latest firmware. I tried downloading it from Updato.com but even after downloading twice, the .zip file failed to open.
So, please provide me the latest ROM. Thanks!

Hi!
Yes, I was in stock ROM when I got an update and after that, baseband was updated. Since then, I'm not being able to flash the older firmware through Odin Tools.
Currently I am using debloated stock ROM (older)
Its build number is NRD90M.J710FXXU3BQJ3.
Baseband: J710FXXU4BRA2 (changed after updating)
I tried downloading ROM from Updato and SamMobile but both came out to be corrupted. I tried from PC and my phone both, so I think the upload firmware zip is corrupted.

Ok,
looks like u have updated your Bootloader (BL) to higher version (U4) as shown in your baseband number. You can not downgrade to lower version. Only thing you can do is to flash AP and CSC file (Do not touch BL and CP) from 4 files stock firmware with bootloader of U3. Please give me an email address here so I can send you 4 files firmware (in which there will be 4 files and out of that two files will AP and CSC). I can not write link here as XDA not allowing me to write any link here as I am "junior".

A530F Sofware Problem

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.
