So as I see many people buy a GT-I9100 in China only to find they cannot flash the international firmware onto the phone, well this guide will help you convert the bootloaders to the International version or the Chinese version, by using some special bootloaders.
1. Start Odin.
2. Put the required file into the BOOTLOADER box. (See below)
3. Tick "Phone Bootloader Update" in Odin.
4. Put your phone into Download mode. (VOL DN + HOME + POWER)
5. Click "Start"
Once finished your phone will reboot into recovery, from here you should put the phone back into Download mode (VOL DN + HOME + POWER), note at this point your phone will accept any firmware, e.g. International or Chinese.
You should now flash the phone using a FULL firmware pack (PDA + CP + CSC), HOME packages will work, but you can end up with boot-loops.
Which file do I need?
If you have the Chinese version of the GT-I9100 then you should use the file with CHN in the filename, if you have the International version of the GT-I9100 then you should use the file with EUR in the filename.
U1_bridge_bootloader_CHN
U1_bridge_bootloader_EUR

S2 is safe from that as the kernels are safe. Only the siyah kernel had that issue.
Would this methode work for i9100-G ?
I would love to finaly get rid of the chinese ROM.

Hi how are you?
Thanks for the info.
I have a question.
This is possible to do too with the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300?
I have a i9300_chn_chn and i find impossible to flash new bootloader no matter what.
It´s exactly the same situation that i had with my SGS2 CHN, and this looks like the case. you cannot flash any modem.bin or bootloader, or anything region related.
So in the i9300 i cannot flash neither bootloaders, modem, etc.
It´s possible to you help me with this? how can you modify a bootloader to foul the SGS3 to think that it´s a chinese one?
thank you.
please new links
odia could you please put a new links because these are dead links, i have a GT-I9108 and i am stuck with this chinese firmware thanks a lot bro, and sorry for my bad english thanx
I find the bootloader file (U1_bridge_bootloader_CHN),
but it does not work for me...
Will you please renew your link?

You are flashing the below at YOUR OWN RISK
This is only for the Euro version, at&t version, T-mobile version or any other GSM version of the Tab. this is NOT for any CDMA version.
This is a new Tab firmware that just leaked out (P1000XXJM6)
So far the know pros are:
1) THE BROWSER IF FINALLY FIXED! it is very smooth even with flash. i am very impressed.
2) Users are reporting new widgets.
3) The drop down drawer is smoother.
4) New readers hub
5) tweaked email client
6) better camera focus?
7) ROM feels very smooth.
Update 11/29/2010
This is an updated package which should be safer to flash via Odin.
All credits are going to Richthofen who compiled this package for us.
As it seems that original package posted in this thread was not intended to be flashed via Odin.
Samsung has introduced a new FW programming method which also supports the upcoming phones. I don´t know if it is already supported by the newest Kies version.
The new format is basically the same as Odin only smarter with a few tricks and more stable.
Richthofen has prepared a new package for us that is flashable via Odin and should work much better with less problems.
Below are the download links and instructions for everything you need to flash P1000XXJM6.
1) Download the the file HERE and extract the it
2) Inside the ZIP you will find Odin 1.7 + PIT file + PDA +Modem + CSC files.
3) Open Odin, select the PIT file + PDA + Modem + CSC into their respective places.
4) Make sure repartition is CHECKED.
5) put the phone in download mode and connect it to your computer. start flashing.
6) The device will reboot. If you are getting tons of FC's on boot, reboot into recovery and do a factory reset.
Done.
** You can root using SuperOneClick method. Other methods do not work at this time.
**If you are on at&t and using the at&t model, please reflash the Bell modem to gain 850Mhz back.

Please be advised that i have not yet tested this firmware so i don't know if it works and i am not responsible if it bricks your Tab!!!
The brave ones are welcome to try and report back.
It was originally labeled as P1000XXJM9 on the Samsung FUS server however it looks like it is P1000XXJM6.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/OO6CWYBQYN
Release date: 11/25/2010
Flash: latest Odin with no repartition (as this does not look like it is a full flash). No PIT file needed as it is not a full flash.

Ok,
Got the latest version installed by flashing the latest update with odin, then flashing dbdata.rfs afterwards....
only thing is, it's now causing launcherpro and other apps to force close, so I'm going to re-flash JJ4 / JK5 clean then re-apply this update.

Installing a new modem for you Note 8.0
The below guide assumes you have:
1. Rooted your device. If you don't know what this is, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389973
2. Have a custom Recovery installed (not stock recovery). An example of a recovery program for the Note 8.0 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287802
3. BACKED UP YOUR ORIGINAL ROM (including the EFS folder) VIA NANDROID BACKUP. Do not skip this step. If you do not know what a "Nandroid" is, you should not go any further. Read here if you are clueless: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389973
The process of flashing a modem (baseband) over another modem is as follows:
1. Extract a modem.bin file from a stock ROM of choice. You can find your countries "Modem" file in the stock Samsung ROMs by simply downloading a stock ROM from SamMobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) for your country/carrier, and then use a zip program (like 7Zip) to explore the ROM contents, and find the "modem.bin" file from that. Make a copy, and place onto your Note 8 (internal or external SD card).
Alternatively, you can access Civato's modem collection by reading the post below this one by Civato (Thanks Civ).
2. Make sure you purchase the "Mobile Odin" app from Play store.
3. In Mobile Odin, find the "Modem" menu, select it, then navigate to the file called "modem.bin" that you got from the Stock Samsung ROM for your region.
4. After selecting, it will return you to the main Mobile Odin menu. Select "Flash Firmware" menu item.
5. Check the box that has "Wipe Davlik cache" so it is on.
6. Mobile Odin will now flash the modem.bin file.
7. If you check your Settings-->About device you will find that your baseband has not updated (well it didn't for me).
8. Press and hold the power button on the Note 8, and the recovery menu should come up (if you are using Philz or TWRP recovery). Select "Reboot". Then a 4-way reboot option menu comes up. Select "Reboot into recovery".
9. Device will then shutdown and go into recovery. As it does so, it actually flashes the modem file at this point.
10. Restart will occur automatically, and android files will be updated.
11. After it boots, a check of the settings will reveal the baseband has been updated.
12. Done.
Thanks to cherryanne who pointed out the direction.

Hey Civ
I wanted to stay on your ROM, but I lost WiFi scanning ability to detect one network here. On stock, I can find both the access point & the router. On FlexBeam, I lose the router in the scan. So I am stuck on connecting to only one access point. I thus went back to stock ROM
When you have the aroma settings, we have to select a region. Unfortunately U.K. is the only one I can select, and I wonder if this cuts out the Australian modem (if modem has any impact on WiFi). All I know is that on Stock, I can connect to the router and on Flex I cannot.
I really appreciate your work on this, and am NOT complaining. Just saying why I reverted back to stock on what is otherwise a solid ROM experience.

I can take a look into the wifi configs but it surely doesn't got anything to do with modem.

Hi Civ. Not much luck unfortunately with the flash of the Australian CSC file (it did flash, I could select it, but WiFi still not performing as well as stock). WiFi can only find one of the routers and not the other as it can under Stock Rom. Very frustrating as it doesn't make any sense (especially as I loaded your rom after the stock Rom, so it should have the right Modem).
Don't know what else I can do. I have tried your latest ROM 3.6.2 with the above, and no luck. Anything I may have missed?

All of my posted recoveries work fine. You didn't follow the directions close enough. Make sure you flash the universal root.zip once you get the recovery working. If not, it will re-install the stock recovery automatically.
Please explain how you are trying to add TWRP or CWM to your device. Do not leave out any details. This what we can see if you are missing a step. It should be a very simple process if the steps are followed correctly (as mentioned above). So please explain how you are doing it and what tools you are using.

I think step 7 is where you might be going wrong. Again, I THINK, I could be mistaken. But I would say start the tablet in normal mode before attempting to go into recovery. After the tablet starts, go ahead and shut it down. Then try and go into recovery mode.
Also, did you start Odin as an administrator? It sounds like you are OK in that regard as you got it going and loading. But if you are still having problems then try executing Odin as administrator.
Which .tar file are you loading? Is it one of the recovery files such as TWRP or CWM?
The only other thing might be the version of recovery you are trying to load. Make sure it works with your tab and firmware. I am sure you have already checked that, but just in case you forgot.

I think step 7 is where you might be going wrong. Again, I THINK, I could be mistaken. But I would say start the tablet in normal mode before attempting to go into recovery. After the tablet starts, go ahead and shut it down. Then try and go into recovery mode.
Also, did you start Odin as an administrator? It sounds like you are OK in that regard as you got it going and loading. But if you are still having problems then try executing Odin as administrator.
Which .tar file are you loading? Is it one of the recovery files such as TWRP or CWM?

In your number 7, you should be holding volume up to get into recovery. When you see the Tab 3 logo, release the power button but continue holding home and volume up until you get into recovery.

I flashed just the System img on my T-Mobile N900T just to see whats changed. Wifi, NFC, Bluetooth working without needing any patches. VoLTE, Wifi Calling, Download Booster options not there and not working but that's expected since it's not a T-Mobile firmware. The biggest change i noticed so far is that Samsung set the Sound mode back to how it was on Kitkat. You just have Sound, Silent and Mute. It doesn't show any of that Priority or Interruptions stuff anymore which is good since i had a issue with my alarm working with the stock T-Mobile firmware. So i had it on Mute last night and my alarm worked this morning just like it used to on Kitkat. So i'll keep it for now

The download link is taking forever for me. Personally I just want to update the baseband and get back to CM12. Can someone extract the baseband file from the zip? If not I'll just wait for the download to finish on my end (9 hours!!!, frigging RapidGator!)

Only if you have an N900W8 - NOT an N900T as I see in your signature. This baseband and bootloader is made for Canadian Note 3 phones only. Sorry, I don't have the N900T baseband/bootloader on hand.
Mega link for N900W8VLU2DOC4_N900W8OYADOC4_BWA (Bell)
Pure stock, require odin to flash.
Why is this in the T-Mobile subforum? Does it work on the T-Mobile Note 3?

It's because XDA doesn't have a Canadian variant subforum for us. T-Mobile's /system works on the Canadian variant and vice-versa, but not the baseband or bootloader. That makes this a good subforum for N900W8 because their custom ROMs work on our phone. OP should probably change title to include [N900W8 ONLY].
Hi jcadduono,
I have the N900W8VLU2DOC4_N900W8OYADOC4_RWC.zip (around 1.4 GB file), when extracted: 2 files;
N900W8VLU2DOC4_N900W8OYADOC4_N900W8VLU2DOC4_HOME.tar.md5 & SS_DL.dll
I'm on stock N900W8 4.4.2 NB7, rooted, twrp.
Wasn't sure if using mobile odin and the zip file, would install ROM, MODEM & BL.
Sorry for the noob question, but in addition to the baseband file, will I need any other tar.md5 file to get my rom to DOC4, without the LP (DOC4) Bootloader?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok, the file you have there ending in _HOME.tar.md5 contains the full firmware upgrade including bootloader (mbn files), baseband (modem), ROM (system, kernel, and recovery), and CSC (written to cache for recovery to apply to system and give you proper carrier apps and access point names for data/phone operation). If you want everything in one go, including the bootloader upgrade, you may want to backup everything from your phone's internal storage first. I'm not sure you would want to use mobile Odin for an entire firmware upgrade operation, and you'd especially want to have an actual desktop Odin available in case anything goes wrong to recover. (it's also not recommended by Chainfire to use on LP yet)
Odin 3.09 for Windows
New: Cold boot your phone into Odin by removing your battery and USB cable, then waiting 5 seconds, reinsert your battery and do VolDown + Home + Power to boot directly into Odin from OFF. Once Odin is started, you can insert your USB cable. Some people have had issues where bootloader and/or modem wouldn't upgrade without a cold boot.
This *should* be sufficient to upgrade fully to DOC4:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then press Start. It would likely upgrade the bootloader even without the "Phone Bootloader Update" box checked
Once it's finished, it will reboot your phone and start installing the CSC. I would recommend going back into recovery after that completes by using VolUp+Home+Power buttons, then using wipe data/factory reset. I don't think it's entirely necessary, but it should save you from any issues caused by previous settings on KK firmware.
Once you boot up, go through the wizard until you reach your home screen. Open up the dialer and call *#1234# - this will open up a version info dialog, telling you which version your ROM (AP), baseband (CP), and carrier data (CSC) are. Make sure they're all ending in DOC4! If they aren't, get back to me. If you want to check your bootloader version as well, get Phone INFO Samsung from Google Play and go to the firmware tab in it. I don't know how to check it from dialer. I am fairly sure the DOC4 bootloader can be downgraded (it's a Canadian tradition) although it WILL trip Knox on downgrade (do any carriers here actually care?) so I wouldn't be afraid to use it.
IF you want to upgrade and be sure that the bootloader is not included in the upgrade, you will need the tools to create Odin flashable firmware files.
DISCLAIMER: I have no clue if LP will run on KK bootloader, you would have to confirm!
img2tar.7z
Extract that and you will find the folder img2tar, inside of it are a bunch of folders that you can fill up with files extracted from the _HOME.tar.md5 (using 7-zip). I've placed empty files in ap, bl, csc, and cp folders to tell you which file goes where. All you have to do after placing them is run the .bat files to generate the tar.md5's.
If you wish to forgo the bootloader, don't use make-bl.bat.
When using Odin with these generated tar.md5's, this is how you will fill it out before pressing Start:
I still recommend doing a factory reset via STOCK recovery with both methods.
Once you've confirmed everything seems ok, you can install TWRP easily from Odin using only the AP box with this TWRP recovery flashable tar.
Rooting can easily be done by putting recovery flashable zip latest SuperSU on your internal storage or sdcard, then flashing that from TWRP.
Issues I've run into while firmware upgrading:
Modem doesn't upgrade - reflash CP file from last step only. If that doesn't work, reflash both CP and BL (modem might require new bootloader).
Modem & bootloader don't upgrade - COLD BOOT: remove all power from phone (unplug, remove battery) then reinsert battery and do volDown+Home+Power to get into Odin, then insert USB cable.
Infinite length loading screen, never boots - data partition is blank or incompatible with ROM, boot into STOCK recovery and wipe data/factory reset to fix. (if you used NAND Erase All in Odin this will happen)
T-mobile boot logo - CSC flash failed (you have no carrier data), reinstall stock recovery and carrier data by reflashing AP and CSC through Odin.
Phone doesn't show up in Odin COMs - No Samsung drivers installed - download them here.
EMERGENCY RE-PARTITION FILE - DO NOT USE THIS unless you are somehow bricked but still able to access Odin through VolDown+Home+Power. Use in Odin with _HOME.tar.md5 in AP slot, Re-Partition, PIT file in slot.
Wow... Thanks for the awesome detailed instructions! :good:
Will let you know how everything works out.
Thanks again.
Great guide thank you!
I've tried everything, doing reset in stock recovery, flashing samsmobile file, BL separately, CP separately and both together, nothing works, the bootloader and modem don't stick. Any suggestions?

They are not carrier specific, they are for N900W8 VL model phone (not T-Mobile or Mexican).
These are sold by Bell, Rogers, MTA, Tbaytel, Telus, etc.
Chances are if you got your Note 3 in Canada and not from T-Mobile then these are for you.
Same here - BL and CP just not sticking when flashed independently of the whole firmware. Thoughts?

SCRATCH THAT - GOT IT!
Using the info from the bottom of this OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/odin-flashable-lollipop-bootloader-t3058101
I followed iketil's directions to flash only the bootloader and modem:
1. Completely turn of your phone, usb cable must me disconnected.
2. After the phone is turned off, remove the battery for 5 seconds
3. Put the battery back in and boot directly in to download mode (vol down + home + power) then press vol up 1 time to enter download mode.
4. Open ODIN on your PC and put the BL and CP files in their respective sections (Odin v3.09)
5. Now connect your phone to the pc via USB
6. Untick auto-reboot in ODIN before you flash.
7. When the flash is finished in ODIN force a new direct reboot in to download mode (vol down + home + power), you'll also have to restart ODIN.
8. Then tick back the auto-reboot tab, flash only the CP file one more time and let the phone autoreboot.
This worked. My modem and bootloader stick and were updated to OC4. LTE signal strength seems to be better too!

I had the problem too, all I did was take the bttery out for a minute then loaded directly to Download Mod and flashed checked phone update bootloader box. and it was all good
Hey
I'm having troubles with dropped calls and disconnects from Rogers network. currently I installed temeseks LP 5.1.1 custom ROM. This was a clean install and I also upgraded my baseband to Rogers doc4. Everything works except the call quality. Could it be because my bootloader is NA7? Should I upgrade to doc4 bootloader as well?
I need a combination of g985f binary 4 and how to install it please
Wrong thread.... This post should not be here...
You mean the Odin firmware? You can use the frija tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910594
And then install it using the latest odin,put the extracted files according to name (except CSC,Use HOME_CSC if you don't want to lose data...)
Boot your phone into download mode (plug in USB cable while off and hold both volume key for the S20 series I remembered...) If you're flashing official firmware you shouldn't need to unlock your bootloader.
