[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

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

For Kernel Builders, Samsung has released the source code here: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=N900T
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 NF9 (Bootloader, Baseband, PDA and CSC).

Updated - modem.bin and full image completed.

how do I update the modem without odin the full file? do I just odin the modem.bin file?

Thanks. Are there any major updates in this other than Wifi calling improvements?

Any idea why after I flash the CSC file, with Phone INFO app, it shows as N900TTMBDNF9 and not N900TUVUDNF9 like the firmware?

What is NON-HLOS? Is this something that should be flashed with the modem?

you can just odin flash the one with both of those files combine. its a lot easier than doing both of them separately

@toastido Instead of having people use Triangle away, just tell them they need to boot into Download mode after having the phone turned completely off. If you boot into download mode using an app or using CM's reboot option, the modem will not stick. If you boot into download mode using the button combination the modem will stick.
Thanks for breaking out the full tar...I love to update the modem but nothing else.

Try taking batter completely out, and then using button combination to get into download mode. It has worked flawlessly for MANY others including myself.

Because the CSC contains the "CSC Code" which is TMB.

The reason is that I've not had luck with any other way, and those who have done it with TA (and followed TA's directions) have reported success. I had NE6 not want to update for me until I did TA method. Powered down, battery pull, power up into ODIN mode, flashed in CP, still wouldn't take. I installed and ran TA, following the directions, and when it was finished, the modem stuck like a champ. Obviously YMMV, but I had to reset the flash counter first.

I flashed the Non-Hlos Modem via Odin V3.07. Put the file in the PDA section but the baseband version still shows as NF1.
Any suggestions?

This has been covered so many times take a couple mins and read the other threads.

[Q] Randows reboots on DomPop v.5.0.3 TW Lollipop 5.0 - [UPDATED] 3/16/2015

Did you flash the entire file? There are usually two. The full rom and then updates to the rom. I would check in his thread to see what happened.
Also clearing the cache can help with the boot process

I did everything, but the problem begins when I install the updates.
If I only install v5, my note doesn't reboot by itself.

Gotta ask what was your process for flashing 5.0 did you wipe x3 and format data x3 that is what I normally do Im playing with mods right now but have been running 5.0.3 for a couple of days with no reboots actually never got any reboots while on DomPop
What Baseband and Modem are you running download the systeminfo app from playstore and it should tell you if you are unsure.

As I have understood, you can only update the baseband and bootloader through ota. I Flashed the rom twice, the first time only the system was updated but no the baseband, the second did the modification of odin and everything went perfect.

Change the first from 0 to 1 if you want to do a factory reset when you install the rom
Change the second one from OK to 1 to Odin update the baseband and bootloader automatically. After that open Odin, connect your note on download mode and install the rom.

You don't need to root stock rom. Download openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.zip from Google and install via Odin, after that you only have to reboot into the twrp recovery and install the DomPop rom.
This rom comes rooted.

You're a lifesaver. I had tons of problems with my phone and it kept failing flashes over and over again but I finally got it working with this firmware and now I'll have to see if I can root! Thank you so much! =)

You will need to flash TWRP first and then supersu.

Is the bootloader the same as the previous one?

Hmm....it looks like Xposed no longer works with this update. This is the error when you try to install it:
Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 19 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)

Update: The Xposed_v2.6.1_by_SolarWarez_20151129.apk variant works with this release! Search for it on Google if the stock versions wouldn't run on your phone!

Use the old Xposed Installer v2.6.1 with TW 4.4.4, and you can directly install the xposed framework within the app.

Just a heads-up for anyone having trouble flashing any of these. I tried several times and re-downloaded the modem and the full firmware. They failed multiple times in multiple versions of odin(for me). I gave up on the modem but kept working on the full and it finally took but I was stuck at t-mo boot screen more than once and it wouldn't fully boot. Finally I flashed the newest twrp before taking any other measures and it finally booted.

In case it gets stuck at T-Mobile boot screen after successful firmware flash, just hold the power button till your device turns off,
Then go into stock recovery by using power+home+volume up button and do a factory reset.
It should boot fine.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to list that I did that also. For me at least this S4 was very stubborn to take on this flash. I was mostly posting so if anyone else ran into this so they wouldn't panic. All is well now though. It came around eventually.:good:

I searched this out because I'm looking for a Stagefright fix for the S4 (my wife's phone). It looks like the other ROMs were last updated prior to Stagefright, so I expect they are not fixed. However, I'm OK with stock as long as it is rooted.
Are there any issues with rooting? I read in this article that T-Mobile put a SetUID restriction on the kernel and the normal process for TWRP and SuperSU doesn't work.
The author was writing about the UVUAMDL firmware, and offers a link to download a patched MDL kernel with the restriction removed.
Since this thread is about the UVUFOK3 (a later version), it seems likely that the SetUID restriction still exists. However the article also says "MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON UVUAMDL build OTHERWISE THIS KERNEL WILL BREAK THINGS IN YOUR PHONE!" So does that mean "UVUAMDL only - nothing newer or later" or "UVUAMDL or later"? No way to know since the article has not been updated since UVUAMDL.
Has any one successfully rooted the S4 after installing this firmware? (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB)
Is the kernel provided in M919UVUFOK3_Stock_Kernel.zip already "fixed" to remove the root restriction?

I don't know about the restriction you talking about but I have successfully flashed a custom ROM on latest OK3 firmware.

Nothing is modified as it is a stock package, stock kernel is only required if you flash some custom kernel and wanted to go back to stock by just installing the kernel instead of full ODIN.
This is what I always use to root:
1) Install latest TWRP via ODIN
2) Boot into recovery
3) Flash latest SuperSU zip using TWRP.

So it should be a fairly straightforward process? The issues technut experienced are unusual? Has anyone else installed and rooted using this ROM? Please report on how it went.

a103, when you say "flashed a custom ROM", do you mean a different ROM than the one in the OP of this thread? (since this one isn't really custom) If a different ROM, which did you flash? I didn't find many options that contained the OK3 firmware.

The phone currently is running Wicked V8 custom ROM, so I think I need to flash everything. What are the steps for updating all three; firmware, kernel, and modem? Is there a particular order to flash them in Odin?
I read in another place that the firmware contains the Modem so I wouldn't need to flash the modem in addition to the full firmware (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB.zip). Is that true in this case? Does it include both modem and kernel?
Edit - After searching out how to open tar.md5 files I can now see that the full firmware does include the kernel and modem files. So installing that one should sufficient to update everything.

a103, did you have any of the problems reported by technut above? Was it a smooth process of flashing?
Here's what I think has been said:
0) Before starting - copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, Titanium Backup APK, and Titanium Backup data onto ExtSD card.
1) start phone into download mode, Use ODIN to flash M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_M919UVUFOK3_HOME.tar.md5
2) restart into stock, let it stabilize.
If any problems or stuck on Tmo screen, restart into stock recovery and do factory reset
3) once booted into stock FW, power off.
4) restart into download mode, use Odin to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jfltetmo.tar
5) boot into TWRP
6) install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
7) reboot into Android - phone is now rooted again and ready to go.
8) restore user apps (not system apps or data) from TiBu, restore TiBu XML data for SMS and call logs, etc.

How do I Upgrade My Modem from PD1 to PF3?

I haven't done anything to my phone since I Unlocked my Bootloader, Upgraded to MM and Unlocked again, then installing PaulPizz from July (it's an outdated version, I know).
The thread I used to put on MM, put on the PD1 modem. I need to upgrade to PF3. I don't see a thread on how to do it Can someone explain to me how that works? Do I need to re-flash the full firmware and re-unlock or just the modem file? Please provide detailed instructions. Thanks.

Just download the partial update from here and flash via ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67481370&postcount=1403
Note you are flashing a kernel as well so you may have to reflash whichever kernel you prefer.

BTW I'm still running Jasmine 6.0

If you're presently on a unlocked and rooted rom this will not lock the boot loader or require reroot.

I'm going to need better instructions.
I downloaded N910VVRU2CPF3_PartialFirmware_PatechedKernel.tar.md5.7z
Extracted it via 7zip
Booted into Download Mode
Connected my cable to my computer
Started Odin
Clicked AP, loaded N910VVRU2CPF3_PartialFirmware_PatechedKernel.tar.md5
Clicked START
It Failed.
Can you help me?
EDIT: OK, this is odd. It failed the first time and went through the second time. It worked. Thank you, @freduser .

No problem

Aren't pd1 and pf3 the same thing?
