Want to change my bootloader - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a question concerning my bootloader :
I have a GT-N7100 (French version)
I have Cyanogen 10.1 ROM
I have Devil Kernel
I have N7100XXDLK7 Modem
My bootloader is N7100XXALJ1 which is quite an old version
I would like to upgrade it to the latest N7100XXDMB6
Is there a way to upgrade my bootloader From N7100XXALJ1 to N7100XXDMA6 without going back to Stock Rom and keeping my Cyanogen 10.1 ROM?

Flash latest Bootloader

Hi!
I want to try Vanir ROM and i need to upgrade my bootloader.
- Where can i find the latest version?
- And how do i updgrade it? Do i flash it from recovery?
Here is what i got from booting from bootloader:
HW VERSION - 9
BOOTLOADER VERSION - PRIMELC03
BASEBAND VERSION - I9250XXLF1
Thanks!
I don't think you need the latest bootloader even for KitKat ROMs (correct me if I'm wrong, never used Vanir), I'm on LC03 and CM11 works without a hiccup.

My device:- GT-N7100 ( Galaxy Note 2 international Version)
I am currently using Omega 18v (Android 4.1.2)
I would like to upgrade my omega rom to any other custom 4.4.2 kit kat rom..
Now my question is..
1) Can i flash rom directly from 4.1.2 to new downloaded 4.4.2 rom

and then i will install 4.4.2 rom..

Yes you can directly flash 4.4.2 even if you are coming from 4.1.2 ROM,only thing you'd need is MJ5 bootloader (it's the last known bootloader that is KNOX free and works perfectly with 4.3 and 4.4.2 Touch wiz rom as well 4.4 AOSP ROM .You need MJ5 bootloader basically to have Wifi Working.Some people managed to get it working by staying on old bootloader and only flashing Dr.Ketan's wifi fix but in either case you don't need to upgrade to official 4.3 to flash 4.4.2.If you upgrade to stock 4.3 from samsung you will have Knoxed bootloader which will prevent downgrading to 4.1.2.So if you think you'd ever want to go back to 4.1.2 ROM then you shouldn't upgrade to stock 4.3 and just flash custom roms (after flashing the mj5 bootloader).I can provide you download link and instructions for MJ5 bootloader which can be flashed after upgrading your ROM to 4.3 or 4.4.2.Make sure you have a backup of your 4.1.2 ROM along with EFS PARTITION(that's a must) and then proceed ahead with flashing new ROMS.

From 4.3 to Kitkat 4.4.2 in good conditions

Hy all,
I just bought my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (edition 2014)
Phone Model: SM-P600
Device type: lt03wifi
PDA Version: XXUBMJ6
Android version: 4.3
CSC: XEF
Root : OK (CF Auto Root)
Recovery : Ok (Philz Touch 6.41.6)
Knox : deleted
Backup : done
I would like to flash a Kitkat 4.4.2 custom rom, but first let me know if I can flash directly (after nandroid banckup) or if it is better to install a stock KitKat rom at first (via Odin) and then after flashing a custom.
With my Galaxy Note 2 I know that I had to change the bootloader before flashing Kitkat but here I do not know.
Thank you for your information and advice

It is important to Flash stock 4.4.2 before flashing any custom kitkat Rom . And it becomes very must if you are flashing a CM based rom. Flashing Stock Kitkat changes the old bootloader to the kitkat bootloader which is essential for Flashing CM based ROMs .
Hope this helps you !!!

Bootloader and CM questions..

Colleagues,
I have an SGH-i317 AT&T Galaxy Note II. It is rooted, has TWRP 2.8.1.0 and SuperSU 2.46 and TitaniumBackup all of which work just fine. I used Odin 3.10. I'm about to flash custom ROMSs CM10.2 and CM11. I have a couple things I don't quite understand before I flash. Hopefully someone can help. In the past, AT&T forced OTA upgrades so I'm at runnign rooted 4.4.2. (Specifics on my firmware are below.)
1. I know Android has broken a third party app's ability to save files to the external SIM. Is this problem inherent ONLY to vendor 4.4.2 builds like AT&T's, or does CM and other custom ROMS that are based upon 4.3 and 4.4 suffer from the same dumb limitation?
2. I've read online that the boot loader software became vendor-signed-package aware and is now a "locked" bootloader. AT&T forced my perfectly good 4.1.2 to go to 4.3 and consequently to 4.4.2. Is it not possible to actually replace that bootloader? If not, why not? Is that not possible at this time?
3. I noticed that for my SGHi317 that there is no such thing a an t0lteatt anymore for CM11 since they have merged their development branches. So will the latest t0lte work for SGH-i317? Do I need to do anything special other that flash it and the correct gapps to the phone?
Thanks for the help!

Good Evening, Everyone,
I just bought a used SGH-i747M 4.4.2 i747MVLUFOB3 3.4.0-1784548 [email protected]" BUILD KOT49H.I747MVLUFOB
Seller said It was on Koodo.
Might I ask you a few questions ?
1) Are there advantages to flash Rogers radio as I'm on Rogers ?
2) What is the newest Rom (Lollipop ? Marshmallow ?) that you have been using Without-Losing the Stock driver to enable the use of a MHL Cable (I have one) ? MHL means: USB->HDMI .
3) Any steps you feel I should know before ? Ok, immediately flash TWRP, then Full backup with TWRP.
Any signed TWRP flashable with stock recovery ?
4) Flashing this will Unlock the Provider ? Rogers' modem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/modem-4-4-2-modems-i747-i747m-t2856577
Thank you All.
Flash the latest stock ROM from Sam mobile which can be found here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I747M/RWC/
Rogers, bell, and telus all use the same bootloader and modem. The only difference between the carrier firmware is some app customisation included with each ROM.
Kit kat is the last official ROM.
Once the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem, you can flash twrp to install a custom ROM.
