I pulled this from the new 4.4.4 NK4/N900PVPUDNK4_SPR zip
Its just baseband. Odin flashable tar file.
Do the following and you should be good.
1) download the NK4 tar file from the link below.
2)Power your device down completely using the 3 button combo (Power,Volume down,Home button.
3)Fire up Odinv3.09 UNCHECK auto reboot and load your tar into slot AP and hit start.
4)After it does its thing and shows its done unplug your usb cord and pull your battery.
5)Leave your battery out for 10sec. and put it back in.
6)Use your 3 button combo once more to boot into Download mode.
7)This time make sure to check auto reboot.
8)Load the same tar file again and flash.
After its done you should be good to go. Basically I'm just using the steps suggested by freeza on the NH7 Baseband update. So give that guy thanks too while your at it.
Heres a link to the full release of NK4 when it was brought to us by shadowcliffs http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/stock-rom-n900pvpudnk4-released-t2987901 to see what all the fuss is about. Give shadowcliffs thanks for bring this to us when you get over there and any of the other guys if you find there info useful.

Is their a NK4 flashable kernel zip floating around anywhere yet ?
Alright Goat.. Thank you for this..
In the past, at least on my former Nexus devices, I was able to just flash new radios via a zip in recovery without needing to go home and hook up to my PC to use Odin - is that possible with the Note 3 as well?
I'm at work and would love to just download the radio and update in recovery if possible.

No sir, didn't work for me but I'm not using the recommended route, I'm using Mobile Odin Pro.
When I open Philz Touch tar.md5 file (which contains a recovery.img file) from inside Mobile Odin, it recognizes that it's a recovery partition image and "pre-loads" it into that partition slot for flashing. But when I open the nk4 baseband tar.md5 file (which contains a modem.bin file) in Mobile Odin it says "Partition could not be found in file".

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.

Well, odin recognizes it even with it not being in download mode, and I figured out how to compile my recovery rom, so it is currently flashing, will let you know what happens! Keep your fingers crossed!
EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate it!
Follow this to get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
Here is the MJ4 firmware in a flashable tar. It includes bootloader, modem, baseband, etc.
This will NOT wipe your phone or data. It does not flash a ROM, only the firmware. This will update people to the MJ4 baseband.

I'm sure you can flash it with Mobile Odin, but it's not a recovery flashable.
Careful with mobile Odin. Last time I tried bit with a modem it didn't work so well. Had to reflash whole tar from desktop to get phone back in working order. Unless they fixed it since then.

I am supposed to be putting this in the PDA slot of odin and leaving the file zipped exactly as it was when I downloaded it, correct?

The stock cable should be adequate if not good quality. Compared to the Epic 4G and cable for that I had before...
Flash .zips. Odin .tars .tar.md5 .pit or whatever it is properly. Make sure you have the correct .tar in the pda slot and use an updated version of Odin3 (3.04) and leave all the default settings as is, aside from the PDA .tar, hit start.
Edit: Also make sure to check the MD5, maybe you got a corrupt download.

Hi, Would like some help or information if possible. I have a rooted Note 3 (N9005) and had TWRP on it for about a year, then i tried downloading a new rom it says i need to have a newer TWRP. But when i try to download TWRP (any version) on Odin 3. It dowloads to the phone as i can see the blue line going along at the bottom, it then reboots to my rom and i can use the old rom alright but when i go into recovery it says in red writing Could not do normal boot-Odin mode. And i have to go back onto Odin and download TWRP again and my old rom is back again. 1: How do i delete TWRP altogether and start again ( if i can ). 2: If i cant delete TWRP how do i go about putting a new rom onboard. I have searched your forums and can not see any with same problem with a Note 3. I still have root access and have tried Rootify with no luck.
Newer TWRP and rom are probably based on newer firmware. I'd back up everything, Odin the newest firmware then reinstall TWRP and flash new rom. This way you'll have the newer bootloader and modem.

Thanks es0tericcha0s. How do i get the latest firmware?.
The forum here for your phone. If you can't find it here then sammobile.com but really slow speeds there.

hi es0tericcha0s I downloaded the latest firmware from xda website, and Odin doesn't recognize it. So i downloaded another one and it still doesn`t recognize it. How do i get it to recognize them? i need MD5 or Tar or smd files
I wouldn't know without knowing what you downloaded. Often the .tar or .tar.md5 files that you download here are zipped to conserve space. Most likely just have to unzip it.

Yes thats how it came. Do i unzip it and what files do i extract?
Not trying to be mean, but if you don't know how to unzip a file, this stuff might be a bit over your head.

Your`e not being mean but i did look into the folder and it had 3 files in it a META-INF, qaraqumus and system folder
Then you have a rom and not the firmware.

Ok , little confused as i went to xda and downloaded the latest firmware which is called : QS-N9005-LP-XXUGBPB1 - 01.05.16.
I downloaded a firmware and this time got the extracted file, i opened up odin and try to put the firmware onto my Note 3, but a little into the job it failed and now my phone wont boot up at all. It just gets to the white writing of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005, and no further. Can you help?
What part did it fail on?

Right at the beginning. I found another one and am at present putting on my phone. It seems ok but has been on the Samsung with the blue dots for some time now. Fingers crossed.

It's not uncommon that you would need to boot to recovery and perform a factory reset after the flash. And it will take awhile to reboot afterwards.

Its still not letting me put TWRP on is there any way round this, I downloaded TWRP 2.8.7.0 and did it via Odin 3.10.6. At the moment i have the recovery that came with the firmware and that is saying error on every Rom i am trying. If you cant help where do i put it on, Q & A or XDA Assist. Do i have to format my phone and start from scratch? Thanks in advance.
Need TWRP 3.0 + for Marshmallow roms.
