Link is not working. Someboby please post the mirrow link?
I assume this page at sammobile doesn't have what you want? Version SER-C101XXUBNF4-20140715083831 is available online (Russian) search or try to get it from rapidgator here. It crapped out mid-download for me but I have weak internets.
is there a broken link?
CWM link is broken. Please re-upload
What we have hare is a TWRP flashable of Lollipop that is pre-rooted, and will only overwrite the "System," "Boot," and "Modem" partitions. I performed a factory reset before performing the backup anyways. It will not overwrite the EFS, data, or cache partitions, so previously installed apps might stay, but no promises, so be prepared to lose all your apps. If your phone doesn't act right, perform a factory restore and wipe your Cache/Dalvik. It is recommended to do a full backup before flashing this image.
To install, install TWRP (if not already), and un7zip (7-zip on PC or ES File Explorer on Android) the folder from the TWRP file link into:
"/TWRP/backups/<device serial number>/" (The serial numbered folder will be present if a backup of something has been made from TWRP.)
Then boot into TWRP and 'Restore' "Sprint Note 3 Lollipop Prerooted."
You can Odin the TWRP file from here:
http://dl.twrp.me/hltespr/twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar
And here is the TWRP file:
Sprint Note 3 Lollipop prerooted.7z
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iEgzRTFjrQWVVzSkdUMlVMUkk&authuser=0
I forgot to do this before making the image, but this app fixes SD write permissions no problem:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sdfix&pcampaignid=APPU_1_yNg1VcDzJLTasAS274Fo
I don't know how much bandwidth Google will allow before flipping people the bird. If this happens, let me know and I'll get another method of sharing worked out.
This looks like it will get me to the latest firmware/modem easily, but don't want to be the Guinea Pig. Anyone else have success with this?

As far as my knowledge goes , you cant flash a modem via recovery , no matter what
It has to be done via odin .
so its better to restore the image and then straight away boot in download mode and flash the modem via odin ( if there is available an ODIN image for the OC5 modem ) and then do a reboot
But the rom will work fine with NK4 provided the firmware version is the same that is NK4 as any lower bootloader wont let it boot after the first Reboot.

OK, so how does the ota update flash the modem?
And basically, as long as the bootloader is compatible, it doesn't matter too much?

I was referring to the custom recovery. I dont know how ota does that. Butvi am more than 100 % sure that you can't flash the modem with a custom recovery . its a well known fact now .
Sent from THE NOTE 3 .. size matters and so does the battery backup .....

Actually that is not true. You can flash the modem.bin in recovery. You need the devblock/partition and then add the script to the updater in the zip. You'll need the correct binary as well in order to flash it but you have that already.
I was just looking for some stock note 3 lollipop framework & apk's for some work i'm doing and come upon this thread. I thought i'd give my input on the modem flashable thing while i was here.

Can you please elaborate on this? I was looking for TWRP flashable modem for note 3 and did not find one neither for Sprint nor for any other carrier.
I tried to create an ODIN flashable modem. It looks like modem.emmc.win has the same format as modem.bin (at least the same header and similar size) so i just renamed modem.emmc.win to modem.bin then used:
c:\cygwin420\bin\tar -H ustar -c modem.bin > modem.tar
c:\cygwin420\bin\md5sum -t modem.tar >> modem.tar
copy modem.tar modem.tar.md5
info came from this guide: [TUTORIAL] How to repackage ODIN files and then tried to flash resulting file via ODIN , but that failes with : "secure check fail modem"

I don't know the devblock for the modem on the Note 3 but once you get that you can add a line to your updater-script inside the zip and it will flash the modem in recovery.
The line will be similar to this...
package_extract_file("modem.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem"); Do some searching and maybe somebody has already pulled the devblocks for dev/chef's to use as references. You can make an odin flashable mode but that's a totally different beast. The point of my post was that you CAN do it in recovery easily.
Edit: Here is the mount point for the Sprint note 3 modem...
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
also you can do it this way... /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem like i suggested above. If you know how to create flashable zips then all you need to do is put it together and bam... you have a recovery flashable modem. No need to go through all the trouble with creating an odin flashable... that's a lot more unecessary work.

Something is really wired:
Someone has posted a complete stock odin tar file here (ROM)(ODIN)OC5 stcock firmware tar
most (but not all) people report that after flashing baseband gets updated to OC5. I took the tar and repackaged first to only include modem.bin & NON-HLOS.bin like the rest of the odin modem tars. Now it successfully FLASHes with odin but after reboot it still says NK4 in baseband.
I went even further and created a tar that has everything besides system, cache and recovery - again it flashes successfully but but after reboot it still says NK4 in baseband. It almost loks like the update is done but the version number is not updated somewhere.
i can post links to files if anyone wants to try as well
Ok, I was finally able to update basdeband to OC5. to do so I had to go back to NH7 modem first. For some reason it would not upgrate modem from NK4 to OC5 doesn't matter what i did, but went from NH7 to OC5 in the first try. so here is what i did:
1) Downgrade modem to NK4 using this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/jk7qevy1swwfw2e/N900PVPUDNK4+MODEM+BOOTLOADER.zip
The link and instructions are provided by this thread: [ROM] kk 4.4.4 [N900PVPUDNK4] NO KNOX [DEODEX]
Download zip above ( NK4 modem and bootloader )
Extract the zip files
Boot into download mode
Use odin 3.07 from zip click PDA box flash modem first (you should be able to use any other version of Odin as well)
I did not FLASH the bootloader. The NK4 odin tar file contains 2 files : modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin So I prepared the OC5 modem tar with the same files from OC5 stock tar.
Reboot and make sure your baseband now ends with NK4. After a minute or so the popup came up saying system is being updating. Wait until it's done and reboot to download mode again.
2) Download OC5 modem and bootloader zip file from the link below and extract:
https://www.mediafire.com/?6qeh035h9xh60ng
Now you can flash OC5 modem,. reboot in to Download mode again and follow the same steps as above, but select modem-OC5.tar.md5, flash, reboot in to Download mode for the 3rd time and upgrade bootloader using bootloader-OC5.tar.md5 file (in Odin click the bootloader box flash bootloader).
reboot, verify that your baseband is now OC5
reply please
is this a rom that I can flash?
Only if you have a custom recovery. If you don't, or don't know what that is, then you need the "Odin" ROM
just thought id put this up since i haven't seen it posted.
this is the full OD3 stock Rom tar.MD5 file
it is odin Flashable.
I will warn you alot of people are saying once they upgraded to this bootloader they couldnt get OA6 roms to flash so beware.
any download mirrors would be appreciated
Here is another link but this one you have to unzip then use Odin to flash the tar file inside thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61215093
download
use odin 3.10.6 but i believe 3.10.0 will work also
put the file in the AP slot and flash
you will most likely lose root but here it is any way
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=cd08ce789eb6b040!141
It should be noted that if anyone flashes this firmware they will NOT be able to flash back to a previous firmware.
i will also note that some people could gain root with chainfire and flash custom recovery through odin then restore backups of OA6 but again beware

Wasn't sure about chainfire's root method on this version since I'm not running it, so hopefully it still works. @Ramer has uploaded this as well to a file hosting site so if he doesn't see this, ask him for a link for his download link so you can add a mirror site to the OP as an alternate if you like.

Here the file I put up on AFH: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952615017
I have to question the title of this thread though. This is NOT flashable in recovery. It's the zip file that must be unzipped on a PC and then Odin the tar file. It's the original one from Sammobile.
The OP gives correct instructions, I just think the word flashable is bound to confuse someone.

thanks for the mirror it says right in the OP "Odin" flashable
also in the instructions it says to open odin use the ap slot etc
plus if anyone tried to recovery flash it would just fail, no damage done

You are correct. It's probably just my hesitation to using the word flashable and odin at the same time. I've lost count of how many users see a zip and think "I'll flash this"
Tried this and I still show BOA6 software and baseband ? Also after I installed it on odin I didnt like it much so I was able to flash MOAR after I flashed OD3. weird

Pull your battery out. wait a few seconds. put battery back and boot into odin/download mode. vol down+home+power
then odin the tar
it will work
Had the same problem, wasn't able to flash back to BOA6 using odin had to flash OD3 to get the phone back and running
not sure about rooting, but my hotspot is still enabled from previous root that i loss when updating to OD3
You can still flash OA6 roms as.long.as.you have a custom recovery and.root

Yes. Once flashed don't reboot. Pull the battery and go back into download mode and flash twrp. Img in the ap slot
You can find the file at Moars op under recovery and odin
After you flash the custom recovery image pull battery boot into recovery from recovery hit reboot. It will then prompt you that there's no root and would you like to root. Choose yes. Tada
Sprint GS5 Moars 6.2
I did as instructed, but the TWRP that i loaded did not ask for a root option, it did some updates, then it automatically reboots the phone, I pull the battery, then reboot it back into recovery again, and reboot it back into recovery from the recovery screen, it ask me to install super user, i say yes, then reboot back into system now it has a icon that says Superuser installer, I click on it and choose TWRP, gives me error

There's no custom recovery options if you're on OC1 bootloader, but you do have options for root/flashing. OC1 is rootable with KingRoot on the desktop. If you want to flash roms from there (or xposed), you need to use FlashFire.
Thanks for providing this. I was rooted but I wanted to flash the latest stock firmware that would allow me to root again if I change my mind. I attempted to download OC1 from Sammobile but it was taking way too long. In the meantime while waiting for the download I found this post. I downloaded it here, flashed it and went through the initial setup of my phone. At this time the file is still downloading from Sammobile. I'm letting it to continue just to see how long it takes.
Can you post the pit file?
This is what it should look like: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199111 You should be able to take the .tar.md5 file and unzip it using 7-zip and pull out the .pit file. You'll need to unzip the tar.md5 anyway so you can get to the PDA(or AP) file.

EDIT: NOW REQUESTING TESTERS FOR THE BOC7 & BOC8 FIRMWARES (FILES NOT YET OBTAINED, SO I DO NOT RECOMMEND APPLYING ATM). NOT RECOMMENDED IF YOU USE YOUR ALPHA AS A DAILY DRIVER! BEFORE "APPLYING", YOU MUST...
-Understand and be okay with the high-ish possibility of having your device brick during/after flash.
-Understand that if something does go wrong, you cannot put the blame on me. Follow all safety instructions for flashing and it should work fine.

Developers Tip: If you want to flash firmware without wiping your data, make sure there is no pit file selected under the PIT tab in Odin, then extract and remove cache.img.ext4 then repack as a .tar file. Applies to both combo and 4 file firmware packages. In 4 file packages, cache.img.ext4 is in the CSC file. However, in some cases this may put your device in a bootloop.
Cheers!
Sorry but... what is the diference between "4 file" and "combo"?

The simplest way to explain 4 file is in Odin, there are 4 firmware slots. The "4 File .rar package" has the correct file for each slot in Odin to flash. Example, extract the .rar package you (might have) downloaded, and you will see 4 .tar files and the pit file. So the BL_xxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx_HOME.tar file would go in the BL slot in Odin.
Combo is basically all of those files that would be in the 4 .tar archives put into one. If you choose to download this file, the .tar package must be flashed though the AP slot in Odin.
And the .PIT file would go under the PIT tab in Odin.
If you don't want to lose your data while flashing, you can do this:
-Don't use the pit file in Odin
--or--
-If you chose to download the 4 file firmware, don't flash the CSC file and don't use the pit file.
--or--
-if you chose to download the combo firmware, you can use 7zip (I recommend downloading it onto your pc if you don't have it already) to extract the archive and delete cache.img.ext4, then repack the remaining files (Except the pit file) into a new .tar archive.
Cheers!

Open Odin and look to the right of the window, you will see 4 buttons, named "BL" "AP" "CP" and "CSC"
Extract the respective 4 file firmware from the downloaded .rar package to your desktop or downloads folder and open the folder once completed.
From there, you can insert the 4 .tar files into Odin. Once in Odin, click on the BL slot and navigate to the folder that contains the extracted files. Once there, select the tar file with the letters BL at the very beginning, and vice versa.
Example: BL_G850AUCU1BOC6_G850AATT1BOC6_LRX22G_HOME.tar (which is the bootloader files for lollipop firmware) would go under the BL slot in Odin.

If you downloaded the combo (all in one) firmware package, extract everything in the .rar file and place the .tar package under the AP slot in Odin, and if you want to perform a clean reset, make sure the .PIT file is under the PIT tab then PIT slot in Odin and make sure that "NAND Erase All" and "Re-Partition" is checked under the 'Options' tab.

I've tested all 4 of the firmware packages and each of them flashed no problem. What firmware version are you on right now? You can check that by going into Settings --> Device --> About Device.

The device hasn't received any ota updates so the flash should work. Did you download the version of Odin I posted on this thread? And did you try the lollipop or the kitkat firmware?

Wiping data will be pointless if Odin can't flash the firmware completely. Did you test the lollipop firmware or the kitkat firmware?

First time with kitkat I left it all night and it didnt end.
I have disconnected the phone in the morning and not started, then I installed the bootloader (of lolipop) alone and it is doing well.

Try booting your phone into download mode then reflash the Lollipop bootloader in Odin (BL File goes under the BL slot for 4 file). If you are not wanting to wipe your data, and if you downloaded the 4 file firmware, you can simply reflash the lollipop bootloader files then afterwards go back into download mode then reflash the AP and CP file. The actual bootloader in the phone does allow the flashing of different firmware versions for the device so it sounds like a small bootloader issue.

You also said that Odin was stuck on something during flash. Do you know what file was it stuck on (What file it said at the top left-hand corner of the Odin window)?

Try a different usb port on your computer, and if the same thing happens, try a different usb cable or switch the ports again.
No roots available still for g850a?There are other sites showing a root method
Is it possible to root if the g850a is flashed back to kit kat? has any one tried to flash the TWRP recovery available on their website for the slte? is that only for the exynos version? and possible try rooting throgh there?

The G850A Has a locked bootloader, therefore, cannot run TWRP or any custom kernel or recovery.
Cheers!
