*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.tarCWM - 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=12054Custom (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.

I am impressed, nice work. So stock kernel, and you for sure can go back to 4.3? I believe you, but, wow. Try once more please, as this could and can be bad if it has not been tested. Thank you sir for you work and info.

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).

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?

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.

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

Is the "Mobile hotspot" and "data" on the Notification panel (when you swipe your finger from the top of the phone) ???
Or is it the same as the Tmobile version, Mobile hotspot is on a separate app in the app drawer, and mobile data can only be accessed under settings menu?

The nonhlos.bin version must match the bootloader version. For example, if you have the NB7 bootloader, you need to have the NB7 nonhlos.bin. Flash the proper nonhlos.bin.

Thanks for the reply. How can I find out what bootloader I have? I pretty much had rooted my MetroPCS S4 shortly after I bought it back in July of 2013. It was still using Jelly bean 4.2.2. with older firmware M919NUVUAMF2. I hope that info helps. Would I need to find a different nonhlos.bin file or update/upgrade my bootloader? I'm really SOL right now cuz I can't make phone calls. At least I can still recieve texts. Thanks again for any help?

July of 2013 means your warranty is up so tripping knox would be no issue. I'd completely update with the firmware then you can not worry about stupid mix match problems

AP. Uncheck auto reboot, flash it, when done pull battery, back to download mode and flash it again and reboot. Just to be 100. Sometimes bootloader and/or modems have a issue writing to the device.

Edit: Looks like you're flashing the firmware...good choice.
If you've never flashed a different firmware then you would need the nonhlos.bin from the MF2 firmware. You can find that firmware at this link, under firmware...
http://androidforums.com/metropcs-g...cial-metropcs-s4-root-information-thread.html
Alternately you could just flash the new NI3 firmware like shiny suggested. It would be easier altogether. Your manufacturer warranty has expired so updating the bootloader is no longer an issue.

The firmware? No. Mobile odin doesn't flash bootloaders.
Modems should be able to yet I've never used it
Hello, I used to be rooted with custom ROMs ect but went back to stock I317ATTALJ2 so I can give the phone to my daughter. Well everything went smooth until an update from AT&T came through and she ran it when the battery was at 21% but I'm not sure it that matter but didn't help in matters... Anyhow it ran the upgrade and on reboot it stayed on the Galaxy Note II screen and wont do anything but sit there. I let it sit for a long time before pulling the battery and booting but it goes to same screen and same thing. I can not get into recovery (Volume Up, Home, Pwr) but I can go into download mode. With the battery being so low I read that it charges while in download mode so for the remainder of the day I put the phone in download mode and plugged into charger.
Suggestions?
After you get it charged up some and you're in download mode. Just Odin back to stock Att firmware should fix the problem hopefully...
You can find the stock firmware here>> http://bit.ly/1HNVFVJ
Guess the phone didn't like that update ?.

Ok.
Hopefully everything works out next time around.
Another thing you could try is flashing which ever recovery you previously had installed. Last time I was having issues with something similar, after re flashing my recovery everything started working again. Just just a thought that might work.
I'm monitoring this thread too see what happens ok.

Recovery? can I flash the stock recovery using ODIN? If so where do I get it.... I always have used TWRP I wanted to use custom ROMs never really experimented with anything else.

Yes you can flash a custom recovery from Odin. You just have to use the (Twrp) tar file found here>>>
http://bit.ly/1y0Tyg7
Find your device model and download the tar. And make sure you're downloading the correct file for your device ok!
I to use Twrp and luv it.?
OK, well its not looking good....
1) Flashed the stock firmware suggested...... Still get same results!
2) Flashed TWRP through ODIN and it made it to the same screen and froze. Did a battery pull and button combo and it wont go into recovery.
Is there a application that will force your phone into recovery and download modes? I remember back when I messed with the captivate there was a application someone built that did such a thing.
Any suggestions?

Not sure you were on the newer 4.4.2 bootloader or not. If it was on a newer bootloader then you won't be able to downgrade.. This might help you get the phone working again since you just flashed the original firmware.

Unzip, Boot into Download mode, Open ODIN, put tar file in PDS slot, click Start.
Then you can go here for the latest stock Att firmware. If the above steps don't help you, then you could try flashing one one the rooted stock packages from this thread.

Ok not is back working again, which is great news ?. Go to the link I posted for the stock firmware, and use the rooted one.
But first make a backup of your working system first ok.

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.

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.
