[GUIDE][HOW TO][N900W8]Canadian Note 3 - KitKat 4.4.2 ROM with WIFI/BT/NFC Fix

*MEXICAN USERS, PLEASE SKIP TO PART 4*
The following is for Canadian Note 3 users - model number N900W8. Please do not attempt the following on ANY other device (including the N900T). I am not responsible for your phone or any damages, so perform at your own risk.
[PART ONE - UPGRADE FROM 4.3 TO 4.4.2 STOCK]
1. Download the following Stock TelCel (Mexican) 4.4.2 files.
http://pc.cd/7kH (AP - System)
http://pc.cd/gXH (BL - Bootloader)
http://pc.cd/K7H (PIT - Repartition)​
2. Download the following Canadian modem and CSC.
http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/d0ed8bf1a29d2c01 (CP - Modem)
http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/6cb078fbe8a64316 (CSC - Carrier Specific Code)​
3. Download Odin 3.09.
http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/7625af2fbef08abc​
4. Backup important files to your computer and boot into download mode (hold HOME+VOLUME DOWN during boot).
5. Plug the phone into your computer, preferably with the cable that came with the phone.
6. Open Odin 3.09 and load the 5 files you just downloaded into their corresponding spots.
7. UNCHECK Re-Partition. Make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are CHECKED.
http://i.imgur.com/f5vVc5h.jpg​
8. Click start and wait for it to finish.
*Notes*
-This will factory reset your device.
-There has been some controversy over whether to leave Re-Partition checked or unchecked. Try unchecked first, then checked if it doesn't boot up.
-If you are having problems, try booting into recovery (hold HOME+VOLUME UP during boot) and factory resetting your device and restarting.
-If you boot and find bloatware from a different carrier or something isn't working, open the dialer and type *#272*YOURIMEI# and change your CSC to the appropriate carrier. This will factory reset your phone.
-We have the ability to revert back to 4.3 (flashing stock 4.3 rom in Odin), but the method isn't concrete. You should be ready to stay on 4.4.2 if you are going to flash it.
-If you are having issues writing to the SD Card, take a look at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617921
__________________________________________________
[PART TWO - ROOT AND CUSTOM RECOVERY]
1. Download Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root file.
http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip​
2. Load into Odin 3.09's AP section and flash in download mode.
3. Download BigBiff's N900W8 TWRP recovery OR Chenglu's CWM recovery.
TWRP - http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hltecan-recovery.img.tar​CWM - http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963​
4. Load into Odin 3.09's AP section and flash in download mode.
*Notes*
-Assume this will trip Knox warranty to 0x1. Some users have reported otherwise, but just be ready for it.
__________________________________________________
[PART THREE - CUSTOM 4.4.2 ROM AND KERNEL + WIFI/NFC FIX]
1. Download your favourite custom 4.4.2 rom from the N9005 forums.
2. Download custom (N900T) 4.4.2 kernel.
Custom (CivZ) - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12054​Custom (Wootever) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581888​
3. Download the WIFI/NFC fix (NB7 Source)
fs1.androidfilesharing.com/2a941b72c218c505​
4. Place files on SD card. Some roms are known to wipe your internal storage.
5. Boot into TWRP Recovery and wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
6. Install custom rom, kernel, and WIFI/NFC fix, then reboot.
*Notes*
-A custom rom alone will break WIFI and NFC, follow these instructions to install a custom rom and fix connectivity.
-The stock kernel caused connectivity issues on custom roms, use CivZ's custom kernel
__________________________________________________
[PART FOUR - MEXICAN USERS]
1. Complete PART ONE using these files instead of the ones above.
http://pc.cd/7kH (AP - System)
http://pc.cd/gXH (BL - Bootloader)
http://pc.cd/dXH (CP - Modem)
http://pc.cd/K7H (PIT - Repartition)
http://pc.cd/97H (CSC - Carrier Specific Code)​
2. Complete PART TWO of this post. (Root and install TWRP)
3. Make a full nandroid backup via TWRP
4. Complete PART THREE of this post (custom rom, kernel, and fix).
5. To fix connectivity, boot into recovery and restore ONLY the EFS files and the modem from the nandroid you made and reboot.

I've managed to successfully install 4.4.2 onto my Rogers Note 3. I extracted the modem and CSC from the latest Rogers 4.3 and flashed with Odin 3.09 along with TelCel (Mexican) files below.

There is a little bit of controversy on this...but I did NOT have re-partition checked in Odin. I would try having it unchecked first, and play around after if you have issues.

Stock kernel, Mexican and Canadian variants are both N900W8.
I was able to flash back to stock 4.3 with Odin a couple times last night. I will do it one more time and confirm with you though.

Just successfully flashed back to stock Rogers 4.3.
Flashed stock via odin, first boot was hanging so I factory reset in recovery. Works fine now.

Thanks for this bro!!

this is probably more wishful thinking than any real hope of it having happened yet - but I have to join the hordes to ask the one question - has anyone flashed on TMOBILE Sucessfully yet? (Intellectually I am sure I know the answer - but I feel compelled to ask the question just the same)..

Yeah I saw this as well. I had it not work with re-partition checked, and it's worked every time since then with re-partition unchecked. Not sure what the implication of this is yet.

Apparently you can flash a modem.bin with Odin...give it a quick google.
I didn't know this and used Cygwin64 Terminal to convert it to a .tar

If you have trouble getting the bootloader and/or Modem to stick, install "Triangle Away" by @Chainfire and follow the directions to reset your counter (even if it says zero), then boot into download mode, and re-flash them with Odin and they should stick.
To verify, you can download "Phone Info - Samsung" and make sure that all 4 items say NF4 (Bootloader, Baseband, PDA and CSC).

There isn't a way to do this while retaining the rom and root.
Also, the latest is NF9.

FOH3 Modem.bin files for MDL and non MDL bootloaders

UPDATE: https://mega.nz/#!G0sUgLYQ!FLkCzuu_9MjGXuxQAZ3sGIZEGVTZLsy48v92NSZiaWQ
^^^Modem & Non-Hlos in a zip file. Extract and flash what you need.^^^
Non-Hlos <<<(need to be on [OH3] MATCHING Bootloader!)
FOR MDL BOOTLOADER FLASH ONLY THE MODEM.BIN (NOT NON-HLOS)
Everythings working, sound, calling, LTE, Wifi etc.
Steps I took in case anyone needs it: have latest samsung drivers, open odin (I used 3.04). Untick auto reboot, POWER OFF PHONE dont use reboot menu because files wont always flash correctly. Hold power + vol down to boot to download, make sure it shows up in odin. Click PDA navigate to modem.bin (if its not showing up enter ** into file name field and hit enter....poof its there) now flash it and wait until you see success. Unplug phone, Close/Reopen ODIN, Hold power to shut down, boot to download and repeat modem flash to make sure it sticks.
Make sure you have a backup of rom and current/older modem in case you want to switch it back or what not. Not a dev, just wanted to help out and give back to the community.
Thanks @shiamatsu for this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 , no clue if sound would still be effected by non-hlos.bin on MDL
Thanks @dirkdigles for the heads up on non-hlos.bin.

Mine were just stuff that should have been put in OP, so I moved it.

While this allows one to update to the latest baseband, does it address the stagefright fix or is the entire firmware flash needed?

The entire firmware is needed. But it's a moot point if you're running a custom ROM; once you reflash your custom ROM, you're at risk if your devices dev hasn't patched the ROM.

It might be better or its just a placebo effect, mine seems more stable. Really need to try it in your area for yourself and see, too many different configs for this phone to be sure for everyone.

I was able to flash the modem.bin just fine. However, I'm on the NK2 bootloader, and I can't get the non-hlos.bin file to work. I've used Odin 3.04, 3.07 and 3.09, and I get a Pass message every time. According to the Phone info app, I'm still on The NK2 bootloader. I used the phone slot for the non-hlos.bin file. Has anyone else had this problem?

Its probably easier for EVERYONE not on MDL to just update with odin official firmware, then odin TWRP or whatever recovery and restore the backup you should've made. No need to re-root or what not. This post was mainly for MDL.

You can't flash non-hlos.bin on a bootloader that doesn't match. You gotta take the original TAR and do something like this guy did

What is the most recent bootloader? I upgraded to the knox one already and was using NB4 non-hlos and modem.
I tested out the FOH3 non-hlos and modem and so far it seems to be working with whatever bootloader I have.

You should be able to ODIN flash TWRP then you will need to flash a custom kernel to get root, and flash Superuser.
I have not tried it yet though, so I have not verified if it works or not.

I tried flash clean rom via odin, fully bootup, reboot to download, installed TWRP recovery, then flashed superuser.zip. Bootloop.
There was this other article on the net about the 910C saying they got 5.1.1 but you have to flash back your booloader to 5.0.1.

Alternatively AEL or other non enforcing 5.1.1 compatible kernel are needed for Samsung lollipop 5.1 or greater with root.

Ripped the BL/CP parts straight from the firmware.
Since I assume none of you want to exactly download a 1.84GB file for just a bootloader and modem upgrade (why would you go back to stock), here are the BL/CP parts!
-
[Update: 13-1-16: PIT file now available to recover from a bad brick]
[DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU NEED TO REPARTITION YOUR PARTITION TABLE, OR YOU'RE IN A BAD BRICK.]
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960684492
INSTALLING THESE FILES
1. Load phone in download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
2. Open ODIN3 on your computer. (Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed.)
3. Load the booloader file in BL.
3a. Load the modem file in CP.
4. Hit the start button, and let the files flash.
5. If there are no error messages in the log portion of ODIN3, then you have successfully flashed and upgraded to the 5.1.1 bootloader.
NOTE: At this time, you CANNOT downgrade from the 5.1.1 bootloader, so take caution.

2. Open ODIN3 on your computer. (Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed.)
3. Load the booloader file in BL.
3a. Load the modem file in CP.
4. Hit the start button, and let the files flash.
5. If there are no error messages in the log portion of ODIN3, then you have successfully flashed and upgraded to the 5.1.1 bootloader.
NOTE: At this time, it is unknown if you can downgrade from the 5.1.1 bootloader, so take caution.

T3 isn't interchangeable with T firmware.

I'm gonna go on the limb here, I'm 50% certain you can't go back to COG2... Be very cautious... When I Odin'ed DOK2 the process seemed odd not sure why lol

Will say modem on DOK2 seems way more stable, I don't seem to have as many data drops, and me personally I could give two s**ts if I can go back to cog2..doesnt matter as you can still flash those roms, I'm on a DOK2 Bootloader and modem with a cog2 rom right now...by the way thanks for the bootloader and modem files man..lol..really didnt wanna go back to stock

Yeah, pretty much agree here. This new modem has given me a lot less data drops. I had really spotty HSPA, with it dropping so constantly. Tested it out during school today and it hasn't dropped.

N910T3 BL+CP parts ripped! I also managed to acquire a PIT file for the T3...DO NOT LOAD THE PIT FILE INTO ODIN3! I HAVE IT IN CASE SOMEONE WHO HAS A SEVERE BRICK CAN USE IT!
Same instructions as before for flashing the BL+CP parts. Reference a few posts up.

Lawdy.. lol how many threads have you asked this in. I answered this in another thread.

OK3 Modem.bin for MDL

Don't flash non-hlos on MDL(4.2 BL) or earlier. Make sure to have matching BL if you need to flash non-hlos (after 4.2 BL).
OK3 modem and non-hlos.bin: https://mega.nz/#!Gxl32K5T!5AMM2euixhLzwycVhYinX3_7yEhdLaIPV26skxxuIqk
MD5: (don't forget to check it before you flash)
Modem: 02f473be26157d920f6ffc9ebe5a3bdd
Non-hlos: b2f6d727678e922365530bf89e3bfa55
[Don't reboot into download from OS....power off first and hold vol down and power to manually boot into download...(if you cant boot into DL mode that way try holding just vol down and plugging it into the comp)...helps to avoid issues flashing]
Flash with odin (I used 3.04), untick auto reboot and use AP/PDA or CP/Phone. Enter ** into field if the file doesn't show up. After flashing, close Odin, unplug the phone, reopen Odin, reboot back into download manually and connect to Odin and flash modem again. Reboot. Done.

For some reason, I can't get the files to show up in the PDA field. But they do show up in the Phone field and .bin is in the list of files it looks for. I tried the ** but nothing happens. Should I use the Phone field?

Noob here, when do we flash the non-hlos.bin file? After or before we flash the modem.bin?

You can just flash the modem.bin you don't need the non-hlos.bin; it's one or the other you don'i flash both. I use the OK3 modem on S4 tmo with the MDL boot loader and have no problems. Some have better results with OH3 vs OK3.
To be safe you should read the other threads re: modems and boot loaders. There are options to change the boot loader but they are OS version dependent. So, you should read the other threads first so that you better understand the requirements and possibilities. Better to be safe than sorry.
IF YOU'RE NOT SURE DON'T FLASH!
