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

Good to know
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!

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?

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.

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.

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?

Hi, is there any chance to make a Moderm file for N5120 TYG HK Version ? Tjhanks !
*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.

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.

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.

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

First, a HUGE thanks goes @garwynn for helping run the site and building all these one-clicks! Second, thanks to @jdsingle76 for posting the original TAR this was based off of, available here.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock MK5 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Boost/Virgin Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710RWBBST). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock MK5 experience, similar to a factory restore and it will wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the MK5 Stock ROM One-Click.
SPH-L710RWBBST_MK5_Full Restore_UNROOTED (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the SPH-L710RWBBST_MK5_Full Restore_UNROOTED.exe was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on SPH-L710RWBBST_MK5_Full Restore_UNROOTED.exe. *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.
Android Instructions:
Download and install ZArchiver on your phone. Use it to unpack the Odin One-Click 7zip self-extracting exe file (long press on the 7zip exe. Select "Open As Archive". Select the One-Click.exe and then select Extract). Use Mobile Odin to Open File the SPH-L710RWBBST_MK5_Full Restore_UNROOTED.exe. FYI - Modem will not flash with Mobile Odin.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Boost/Virgin 4G logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore MK5 build!

Good stuff man...glad to see you back to work I know this goes without saying, but if anyone on Sprint/Boost/VM has already flashed the ND8 4.4.2 update, they CAN NOT flash this one-click, since that would be downgrading bootloaders, which equals BRICK!!! Great work man...thanks for this, and all that you do.

No you will not be able to recover. A hard brick is not recoverable. A soft brick (or sponge) is usually recoverable. But flashing any firmware from before nd8 (once you've updated to nd8 or later) will result in a hard brick and your phone will be a paperweight. Modems too, do not flash any modems from before nd8 (like mk5) or it will be over.

Is it just in one location? Sometimes they are working on towers in the area which can cause problems. Have you done a clean Odin flash with a factory reset? If yes then I'm not sure what else you can do. The .tar has everything in it. Flashing around older modems isn't going to help. What started the problem?

The problem started when one morning I woke up and I lost singnal, MEID. My MEID was 00000000000. My baseband was also unknow. Then I fixed my MEID it by going to the Full restore (Older version) with DFS QPST QXDM.. I got my MEID Back and my service back. but another problem with full restore was, the phone asked to insert sim card. Since I could not find any solution then I Odin NJ2 tar. Since then I have signal but I get 1xRTT all the time. 3G super slow and hardly get 4GLTE. Even when I get 4GLTE, it is not working.
@madbat99 I saw this flashable modem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787677 Will this work if I flash NJ2 already?
I really think the problem is the modem.
Thank you so much for responding. I posted on Q&A and no one has responding.
I know this thread is old, but I could not get the 'one-click' odin file to run for me. So, I extracted all of the individual files, wrapped them in a tar-ball, and created a tar.md5 that can be flashed using odin. This is confirmed working as I am currently running it now.
I want to upload it to the community, but I do not think xda would accept a 897mb zip file attachment. if anyone wants it I do have it and am looking for hosting sites.
***edit***
I am hosting the file on my private server. this is the link.
Just so I'm clear... if the Boost Mobile S3 I have is on ND8, NJ2 or NK2 (which I never heard about) ... I should not use any of these MK5 Restore ROMs?
I made a mistake in buying this phone thinking any S3 could be used with the Ting service. Found out that neither the Boost nor the Virgin Mobile phones can be used due to some contractual thing between Sprint and Ting. Basically since Sprint owns parts of Boost and Virgin Mobile... it's against their interest to allow those phones to be used with another Pre-Paided Provider.
At any rate, I am trying to revert this phone back to Stock regardless of the radio version. I don't care what the resulting radio is. I just need to revert it to Stock so I can toss it up on eBay and get rid of it. Is there a Stock Restore ROM for ND8, NJ2, and NK2? If yes... anyone have a link? If not... is there a way to revert the Nxx version back to the MK5 version in order to apply the MK5 ROM in this thread?
All help appreciated.

6) In Odin3 screen, you should see a COM Port number like “0:[COM7]” at ID:COM section and “Added!” text at the message box. This means your device has been detected by Odin3.
7) Make sure that, only the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are checked.
8) Now, click on the AP (PDA in older Odin) button and select the CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5 file (I provided in the folder).
9) Finally, click on the Start button to begin the rooting process, wait few moments.
10) Once completed, you would see “PASS!” message in ID:COM port having green background
11) Your phone should automatically reboot after completion
12) You can now disconnect your phone from computer
Finish!!!

"
1) Find and open Odin3-v3.07 (provided in the folder)
2) Click on PDA and choose the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-jfltetmo (provided in the folder)
3) Make sure Repartition is unchecked in the Odin.
4) Checkmark the boxes that say Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
5) Turn OFF your device.
6) Turn it back on by holding down Volume Down, Home, and Power buttons together.
7) Press Volume Up and you should be in Download mode.
8) Plug in your device to your PC using the USB cable.
9) Hit Start in the Odin and it’ll start flashing the recovery on your device.
10) Once the recovery’s been flashed, your device should automatically reboot.
11) You’re all set!!!

If you just want the Modem itself (The modem is non LTE. For LTE you need to flash the entire firmware)

"
Extract the modem (the file is called 4.4.4+modem, i have provided it) from the rar file. (The file inside is labeled modem.bin) Make sure to put it in the phone slot in Odin. (open oden 3.10 and check CP)
Put your phone into Download Mode. Flash the modem.
***DO NOT let your phone reboot. Pull the battery just as soon as Odin says "removed".....
Put your battery back in....go DIRECTLY to Download Mode again....
Flash the modem. Reboot....
Profit....

as far as i know rooting wont make any sense without a custom recovery and a custom rom and/ or recovery. According to The Sickness in post #7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-4-released-t-mobile-s4-t2872900#post55538578 ... "Rooting doesn't trip Knox. Flashing a custom recovery or kernel will put the knox counter at 0x1." i hope this helps, if not let me know.

CF Auto Root WILL trip the Knox flag. The way CF Auto Root works is to temporarily install a custom recovery, copy the the SU files to the /system folder and then when finished put back the original recovery. This WILL TRIP Knox. Since, Knox is tripped anytime a non-stock recovery is flashed/installed.
TowelRoot installs the SU files using another method. However, part of 4.4.4 was to eliminate the security hole that TowelRoot was using. So, as far as I know you can't use TowelRoot on 4.4.4.
If you want to root 4.4.4 at this point, until another exploit is found, you will be tripping the Knox flag. Since, the only way to root currently is to use CF Auto Root.

you are right... and speaking of towelroot, it looks like we are out of luck for now... because the author of towelroot now works for google... and his job is to find those holes.....

Also install Kies. This will install the necessary drivers for the phone to be used with USB.

Odin is recognizing phone, but keeps freezing, running as administrator.
Uninstall kies and download Samsung drivers straight from Samsung website, after that it should recognize it
I actually did the Samsung drivers, it recognizes my phone in Odin, says added, but then freezes when start, then have to exit out of it.

Youll need a pc. And since you already tripped the security blanket, flash the firmware from the firmware link and youll have zero problems.
I added an Odin 3.09 link to the thread for you.
Instructions
Download firmware
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Run the exe in Odin v3.09 folder
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
And youll be good to go. If you want to flash the stock rooted knoxless deodex'd rom, just install twrp/cwr/philz, flash it, reboot directly to recovery and flash the rom and youre set

the modems will be flashed with the firmware. You'll be good to go after it finishes.
The permissive kernel is to be flashed with twrp/cwr. Or I could actually put it in a tar to flash with odin later
Anybody else having data issues with the FNI3 modem? I did a factory reset, flashed the full firmware using Odin 3.09, rooted with cf auto root, and reinstalled twrp. After that, I set up all my apps again. But now with the FNI3 modem, I can't keep a stable LTE connection; it keeps dropping to really slow 4G. I had to flash back the T-Mobile NH7 modem I was using before to get a solid connection again.

Here is what I did since I needed to update my bootloader anyway
Download stock firmware and the modem/non-hilos combo and also the twrp odin flashable file and Odin
Put them on your pc in an easy to find place
Put phone in download mode (power off. Hold volume up and home button and press power, volume up at confirmation screen)
Open Odin make sure repartition is not checked
Plug phone into pc
When it's detected click "ap" and select stock firmware
Click run
Wait
After reboot go back in download and repeat process but use the modem package
After reboot repeat again but use twrp recovery
Download rom
Boot recovery (power off volume down, home power)
Flash rom
