Hey
When I enter the service menu, and check software info, it says for Phone Software Version: 1246-7916_4.1.B.0.431
For the file system version it says: World-i_4.1.B.0.587
Do I have to update the phone software version now, because the phone is running fine? Or is it oke this way?
Thanks a lot
Bram

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.

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?

The baseband should be PL1 but the android security patch level should still be 2016-09-01.

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.)

Okay, yes it is
Heres my post when I was searching for it myself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/development/how-downgrade-7-0-to-6-0-1-t3590649
The download mirror link is in there
Download and extract using the password in that forum
Boot into download mode and flash it with Odin.
I can confirm this works.
Just got an S7 Active G891A and I want to downgrade the firmware to root it. It's on the QB2 Firmware. Is it possible to downgrade without risking bricking it?
Does anyone have the latest retail version of the G5S rom stock?
Version latest is NPP26.102-49-1
this firmware will not come out, it will have to wait for the next one.

I think I found one place where it's suposed to host the "MONTANA_NPP26.102-63_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" file, but it's a paid download site.
i'm not going to pay to download because money in Brazil is something very scarce especially for something charged in dollar :silly:

So my guess is, we can still flash .49 version rom even we're on higher version. (just simply not to flash gpt.bin, this cause error when your version is newer than .49)
And after installed .49 version, we will receive OTA update then we update it?
Not sure if this is the correct way to get back to stock rom and relock the bootloader...

To relock the bootloader you'll need a firmware more recent than the previous one you installed. If you had the .49-1 installed, you'll may need to wait for one more recent firmware popout as this .49 will give errors while installing (the "oem lock begin" command only locks the bootloader if you install every single file from the firmware, which will fail because an lower version of the firmware was installed).
In short: you can get back to stock but can't relock bootloader unless you didn't installed the OTA .49-1 or have an more recent firmware available

Yes, you can update without worries. Just remember to maintain your system untouched before any update. If you root or install custom recovery, the update will fail and may get into a boot loop

So I'm currently running NPPS26.102-63-1 , and my bootloader is unlocked. Am I still capable for OTA update? And if I decided to install custom recovery and rom, can I flash .49 version stock rom?

You can upgrade through OTA with unlocked bootloader, you only can't if you modify your system. But if you are running .63-1 I'm not certain about reinstalling the .49 ROM as they may be different, like different modem or other resources like NFC resulting in bricking. Test at your own risk. I'd like to test .63 ROM, but I can't find any free places to download it.
(Or if you want you can also try the ZUI ROM, it's a stock rom from a chinese moto g5s with ZUI interface)

So the reason is the latest firmware for locking bootloader
Untill now I have thought that the problem is with only my device can we ask for Motorola for the latest firmware releases so that we can relock our bootloader

They used to have a site for you to download firmware, but it hasn't been updated like 3years... Even Moto support doesn't know where to get it..
