N7100DDDLK6 (BASEBAND VERSION)
3.0.31-1071214 (Kernel version)

Well Baseband version isn't the firmware one but I think you could first try to update your system via OTA or Odin.

You can try to download default samsung firmware from sammobile and use Odin to install the firmware. For me it works.

thanks for your replies mates!!
I do not understand what is the difference of the files that I flash with factory oxa the samsung firmware.
I understand that the firmware in samfirmware there is only one file within a zip to put in pda only and oxa factory has 5 it is mentioned in the first post to leave the factory.
or you mean that first flash of a file and then the oxa factory?
thank you very much:laugh:

Note stucks on Samsung Logo and wont boot up, able to get into download mode and TWRP

Hi,
So my note 2 was working fine yesterday (rooted) until a security update informed that I need to reboot my phone, now it's stuck with samsung logo and nothing else. I tried to wipe cache but it's failed to, able to factory reset using TWRP.
NO OS installed and unable to recognize ext SD card (FAT32). what should I do? Is it bricked? it's the N7100 model International.
Edit: I also tried to flash twrp and CWN but it shows up as "Failed" on odin.
Thanks,

To solve your problem flash international firmware through Odin, firmware version NOT beyond your current bootloader (which is it?).

Thanks for your reply, is there a way to find out which firmware or bootloader that my phone has without turning it on? I have the unlocked GT-N7100.

Maybe you remember your last firmware version? Anyway - the latest international firmware is OC2 and you can go for it.

Im not so sure but I think the default language was Spanish, and it doesnt get LTE in the states. Could you help me with instructions on how to acquire the stock firmware? Thanks!

N7100 is a 3G device, no LTE, so are you sure you don't have N7105 or any other LTE variant?

Oh no It's the N7100 variance, I tho I didn't mention the model in my post. Is it possible to flash any stock ROM or it has to be the one which the phone comes from?

hey so I tried to flash the ROM but it's "failed" in ODIN.
<ID:0/004> sboot.bin
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> FAIL!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Is there a way to fix this? I can't wipe cache either in TWRP.

New update N900TUVSFPL1 available

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-27648
Android Security Updates
Phone Samsung GALAXY Note3
Model SM-N900T
PDA Version N900TUVSFPL1
CSC Version N900TTMBFPL1
PHONE Version N900TUVSFPL1
Region TMB
Country USA (T-Mobile)
Build Date 12.12.2016
Changelist 6005498
OS Lollipop
OS Version 5.0
If anyone tried using CF-root successfully, leave a confirmation below.

I'm interested too if anyone flashes please report back asap. Doesn't seem like much seeing as the rom is still 5.0 not 5.1 or 6 so more than likely its just 300 mb of "security updates".

Just an update: the new PL1 firmware can be rooted by CF-auto-root.

One more update: the android security patch level is still 2016-09-01, the same as the SPH3 firmware. Don't know why they say this is an "android security update"in the description.
I thought the android security patch level should be 2016-12-01 since it was built on 2016-12-12.

i couldnt ge the cf-root to work on mine. it says theres a dev error. is there a newer version to use?

I did that 3times and it keeps giving me the same error message. I think I'm using the wrong tar file. I'm using the one for n900TTMBFOB6. Is there a different one for N900TTMBFPL1?

Should be the same.
I downloaded here:https://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root
Unzip the file and Odin flash the tar.md5 file only, not the zip file.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT WORKED PERFECTLY. It must have been the file i downloaded from before.

Baseband not updaing
Hi guys..
I have upgraded to the N900TUVSFPL1 update.. but I noticed the baseband still says N900TUVSFPH3 and the Android Security Patch Level says 2016-09-01... is this normal?
the Build number does say N900TUVSFPL1.

Did anyone try flashing roms through TWRP? if so what do you guys use?

I think that you have to power off the phone and boot into download mode from the power off state. Otherwise, the bootloader and baseband won't update.

In order to install the update, I had to get into download mode.

Right.. but it makes a difference if you reboot into download mode (while the phone's still on) or have the phone turned off and then boot directly into download mode (volume-down + home + power).

Yes.. I had to do that in order to re-root using CF-Root and also to flash the recovery.

Is this ROM based on Android 5.1.1 like others are speculating? If this is just 5.0, I'm saying "Screw Touchwiz", and staying on my AOSP Nougat...

Is it possible to take only the most update modem (CP) from this?
I am looking to flash the latest modem for Tmo US Note 3.
Maybe flashing via Odin in the CP button?

FlashFIre. Many older posts talk MOP, TWRP, etc. At least with this hardware and firmware, FlashFire is all I use. (Much gratitude to Chainfire.)

Code:
# Install Heimdall and print pit
sudo apt install heimdall
heimdall detect
heimdall print-pit --no-reboot > pit.txt
# Extract binaries from firmware package
head -z -n -1 N900TUVSFPL1_N900TTMBFPL1_N900TUVSFPL1_HOME.tar.md5 > N900TUVSFPL1_N900TTMBFPL1_N900TUVSFPL1_HOME.tar
tar -xvf N900TUVSFPL1_N900TTMBFPL1_N900TUVSFPL1_HOME.tar
Lastly, review the pit file and pick the partitions/files you want to flash. Use the tool you're most comfortable with to do the job.
Many posts refer to the necessity of bootloaders and modems being compatible. So I have not (and would not) flash just the modem. Er, that is unless someone else already did it and reported success.
(PS. Wish *I* could walk out my door and do the Haiku Stairs, a bucket list item.)

Download the last firmware for ur devise from sammobile website then flash the rom using Odin app

Ok,
I download last firmware from sammobile
(PDA: G960FXXS7CSK6
CSC: G960FODX7CSJ1)
and now what files I must chose in odin (I have Bl, CP, AD, CSC and HOME CSC)?

Put every file in its place bl in bl cp in cp and there is 2 csc file choose csc not home csc

I put only Bl, CP, AD and I left CSC blank, and after that the phone restarted and entered the recovery menu so first I did a wipe data / factory reset and then wipe cache partition and then I restart phone. And now everything is fine and ok ..

CSC is Country Specific Code. It isnt strictly necessary to flash a CSC if youre flashing firmware on your phone, but its not a bad idea to say the least. It tells the phone what carrier (or potential group of carriers) it being set up for and when the correct CSC reads a SIM card that its prepared for, the phone will then install carrier bloat and other necessary stuff to make WiFi calling and voLTE possible.
Biggest thing that people really need to remember about CSC and HOME_CSC is that CSC factory resets the phone whereas HOME_CSC does not

So, I must flash it again and use CSC?
Because for now everything is fine, and telephone is working good..

no, you dont need to. if you flashed other stuff and skipped the CSC, then the phone will boot and work with the CSC info that was already on it. Flashing firmware without a CSC file wont cause any issues with the CSC itself (shy of compatibility issues if you jump android versions or something like that)
if its working fine, then roll with it. if you dont have wifi calling or voLTE, then you might need to flash the CSC to make them work
