[Q] Repack stock firmware with mj5 bootloader - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I want to replace the boot loader from the stock firmware file with mj5 boot loader, so I can flash using PC Odin (don't want to use mobile Odin).
In the flashable mj5 boot loader I see 3 files: param.bin, sboot.bin and tz.img
Do I need to copy only the sboot.bin and repack the stock firmware (ignoring the param.bin and tz.img)?
Or what is the right way to flash the latest firmware without changing the bootloader using pc Odin?
Thank you!

What is the right way to flash any stock firmware and keep MJ5 bootloader using pc Odin?

bump
This is the same question that I would like to ask. Or one of them.
I am now on mj5 bootloader running custom 4.4.3 ROM (Dr.Ketan V14). I'd like to go for stock kitkat, but keep the mj5? If I flash the official 4.4.3 firmware with ODIN, I will also flash the new know bootloader right? Is it enough to flash the official firmware and bootloader ath the same time in ODIN? Will this result with official 4.4.3 with mj5 bootloader and without knox? Will I be able to root it?
Thanks,
Cheers,
estu

[Q] Updating Official 4.1.2 To Official 4.4.2 Without Installing Knox Bootloader

Hi guys can someone help to update my GT-N7100 which running on official 4.1.2 to official 4.4.2 N7100XXUFND3 Without Installing Knox By Trying Like This Method I Saw On Youtube : How to remove KNOX Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini firmware (with Linux)?
-On This Official Rom "N7100XXUFND3" (The Question Is Can I Delete The "sboot.bin" And/or "boot.img" From This Rom And It Will Not Update My Bootloader To Knox When I Flash It With Odin 3.07 Or It Will Hard Brick My Device).
Thanks In Advance,Any Help Or Info Is Really appreciated .
(And Excuse Me If There Is Any Mistakes In My Language).
Wifi with bootloader older than 4.3 not working at 4.3 or 4.4. OK now for this method first you need root and second you have to flash mj5 bootloader, it is writing Knox bit etc but is cosmetic and is possible to downgrade at everything you want. After you have to use mobile Odin to flash 4.4.2 official from your device (mobile Odin flashes everything except bootloader) and you will be ready but not rooted. If you need root you have to flash philz recovery 6.25... + and flash from recovery supersu update 1.94. After root also you can remove with a root file manager completely Knox apps from your device. If you want to restore warranty flash again original recovery with mobile Odin (if you don't want to extract the firmware put all firmware at mobile Odin at the place which is writing recovery) and after run triangle away 3.26. Links you can find at forum. If you own mobile Odin pro is good to know that ever root for the moment not working at 4.4.2 and you have to do the same procedure.

Note 2 - Latest firmware XXUFNG4 - MJ5 Bootloader no knox - Can not flash via Odin

My Note 2
- Latest Firmware XXUFNG4 4.4.2, old bootloader MJ5 (no knox)
- Can not flash any .tar, .md5 (CWM, TWRP, CFAutoRoot...), odin 3.04 and 3.09 always says no pit file, and failed. So that I can not root
- It used to work well with older firmware 4.3 and 4.4.2, but now it fails
I am trying to root with Kingo... But is there any better solution to this?
I reflashed new firmware via odin, and it has been OK and rooted already. Thanks all.

Ok, i can use ODIN. But from where i can find the baseband for rooted custom ROM (CM) SGH-M919?
My method...Backup your current rom. Odin the oh3 stock release, odin cf root, odin twrp, backup the new stock rom, restore prior backup.

Hmmm...thats what i am actually thinking as of now....but looking for easy alternative like if we get the flashable zip or something of this baseband i can just flash it without taking backup of ROM and reinstall the ROM etc.....
But am looking for a site where i can download these basebands....
i take it you are trying to update the modem/baseband ihere you go. Must be done thru odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/foh3-modem-bin-mdl-bootloader-t3191094
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE THE BOOTLOADER unless u KNOW EXACLY what you are doing...changing bootloader to the wrong bootloader will brick your device and some modem packages conatin bootloader. so make sure that you are getting a ODIN file that only contains the modems and no bootloader!
if you wish to properly update the bootlaoder and baseband properly ....just ODIN the OFFICIAL samsung release for your device and then re-root and reinstall recovery and then your rom.

Perfect....I will use this one....
And on S4 you don't even need to root before flashing TWRP and your ROM of choice. Just double flash the stock release with ODIN, let it boot up and make sure all is well, go into Camera to let it see if it needs a firmware update (happens automatically first time you run stock camera app), and when satisfied your phone is good, go into download mode, take TWRP + whatever else you want.

I747 downgrade

Hi my names Adrian.
I have a question about my I747. Can i downgrade my phone to oryginal firmware if i have now Android 4.4 CM 11,2. This mod based on I747UCDLK3 bootloader? If nothing bad happens to my phone if go back to stock? thanks for the reply.
You cannot flash a stock ROM that has a bootloader that is older than the bootloader currently installed on the phone.
Even flash by odin with PIT file? This method works on I9300.
Nope, can't be done with a pit file. Are you sure you can install a 4.1 bootloader over a 4.3 bootloader? I don't have the 9300 so I can't test.
Ok i understend. In 9300 not downgrade bootloader. I using 3-files ROM with new bootloader. This method allowed me back to stock from CM14.
