I have a Canadian N4(910W8)and I want to change the baseband so I can try different Roms. How do I go about this? I'm guessing through Odin right? Where can I find a stock NJ7 ROM to do this? Thanks guys!

Firstly, if you change baseband your phone will not work with Canadian or
USA roms.
None of the twrp flashable zip file roms contains the baseband or bootloaders.
You need to keep the Canadian baseband which you already have.
What you will need to do is to save your kernel file so you can use it with the
USA zip file roms.
The kernel is located in the /System/ folder and the filename is "boot.img".
Copy that file to your internal sdcard before you do anything else.
Then after you download a usa zip file rom open it up with winrar/winzip
or other archiver and remove the boot.img in the zip file and replace it with
the boot.img you have saved in your internal sdcard before flashing.
Once you do that you can safely flash the usa zip file rom of your choice.
I never advise anyone to use a different carriers rom, there are many con's
against doing so and not many pro's. But go ahead and give it a try.
Good luck!
Thanks for the helpful info! On my note3, I always flashed tmob roms with no issues, but the note 4 is new so I didn't know exactly what would work or not. Might give this a go later on! Thanks again!
I find sys>kernel>boot_adsp> the file called "boot" which is only 4kb in size. Is that what I'm looking for? Does not have "IMG" behind the "boot"
Hi.... I was wondering the same about the NJ7.... I've flashed 2 TMobile roms so far... Darthstocker & Hyperdrive.... As long as you flash the Starkissed Kernel it boots up fine... Without it you just Bootloop....

What one click are you referring to? If you are talking about odin one click, the only thing you should be using that for is going back to stock before flashing a rom. If a rom is flashable through clockwork than you would just put it on your internal sd card and follow the instructions for flashing through Rom Manager. If it is a rom that is supposed to be flashed with odin you would have to open up the zip file you downloaded and enter the appropriate files into odin.

WELL **** I flashed a rom now im stuck on congnition rom and i cant flash another one can u help
You need to be more descriptive if you want people to figure out a solution to your specific problem. Your post amounts to "I flashed a rom, I'm having problems, vague reference to rom manager, help guys".
Here's what we need:
1. What version of Android are you trying to flash?
2. What version are you currently running?
3. What modifications have you done?
4. What is the specific error you are getting?
5. What is the EXACT process you are using to try to flash the new rom?
READ READ READ READ READ, THEN READ SOME MORE!
you obviously have not read enough. there are 2 versions of ODIN we use for our phones:
One click ODIN which is simply a prepackaged version of the regular ODIN configured with the appropriate files that ODIN needs to flash our phones with it....they are packaged up by a developer named DesignGears. not every rom is going to have a one click odin....
there is also regular ODIN which requires you to have the appropriate files associated with your rom (kernel, pit file, modem, csc file, and rom), sometimes devs will package as much of that as possible into one or 2 files to flash in ODIN
you need to spend some time learning how to use these or just use the one click and go back to stock, then leave your phone alone. seriously, freaking out on a forum is not the right way to go about getting help for your phone.
calm down and give up the info that modest_mandroid has requested. none of us magically know what the heck you are talking about when you spout out random things like help, i flashed something and now i cant do anything else
Hi all,
I am noob here and wanted to ask few questions that will help me get all this worked out... and yes, I did search before creating this thread and still didn't find any answers...
odin:
1. what is the main difference between all the odin versions?
2. why would someone delete his efs folder?
3. what is flash lock and why do we need it?
4. is the efs clear option simply deletes the efs folder (like manually deleting it)?
5. what is the dump file and why do we need it?
6. what is the phone bootloader update? is it only for when using bootloaders?
7. what is the f. reset time and why do we need it?
other:
1. what exactly is a csc file? I didn't quite understand it from the guide...
2. can I use a csc file from froyo on gb?
3. can I use a csc file from some rom on a different rom? (same as question 1?)
4. is a zImage ONLY a kernel file? or can it contain other stuff?
Sorry about all the questions... but they are really important for me...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Hi,
I'm also interesting regarding csc. hope that we'll get answers
Try looking in dev for ezbase, and with that comes ezodin that is far less intimidating
Insanity cm 012/glitch
I know ezbase but I still need to know what I asked...
Thank you though
Thread is now on page 3... please help
trying my best to answer
the answer might be wrong, but to my knowledge it should be correct

odin:

not so sure, but the difference is not much/impt afaik.
2. why would someone delete his efs folder?
DONT delete efs folder it contain essential and impt information about your phone such as imei. it is also recommended to backup a copy of your efs folder to your computer before any flashing
3. what is flash lock and why do we need it?
no idea
4. is the efs clear option simply deletes the efs folder (like manually deleting it)?
not sure, but you shouldnt be deleting your efs folder as explained
5. what is the dump file and why do we need it?
you dont need it, if im not wrong should be a copy of the rom used by developers
6. what is the phone bootloader update? is it only for when using bootloaders?
it is for updating froyo bootloaders to gingerbread bootloaders, used only when you upgrade from a froyo rom to gingerbread rom
7. what is the f. reset time and why do we need it?
other:
1. what exactly is a csc file? I didn't quite understand it from the guide...
contains information and apps about your carrier. it is the carrier customization to the rom. i think it also contain the apns needed from the carrier.
2. can I use a csc file from froyo on gb?
yes
3. can I use a csc file from some rom on a different rom? (same as question 1?)
yes
4. is a zImage ONLY a kernel file? or can it contain other stuff?
kernel only
Sorry about all the questions... but they are really important for me...

Hi!
I'm using CM 7.1.
Are the modems you can download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
the same of the corrisponding stock roms (JVU modem --> JVU rom) ?
I'm too noob to post there.... (and considering my question probably this is the right thing!)
Can you use stock modems in CM 7?
In particular I'd like to flash the modem of my italian carrier H3G (Tre) branded stock rom. Can i do that? The rom has code NEJVE.
Would it be better to flash my carrier modem? Since It was modified according to my carrier network, it should work better than the "stock" CM 7 modem.
Am I right?
Thank you!
may be you can : u have to install this zip file in CWM v5+ recovery, but always keep system backup.
download your carrier modem. then extract the modem.bin file from there. then put the modem.bin file into the root of the zipped folder using winrar, and remember do not unzip the file. hope u know how to put the file with winrar. i m also uploading 2 picture for your help.

wow nice i didn't know how to create a radio package for the recovery!
Can i also flash it with odin or is it mandatory to do it from the recovery?
are CM 7 modem the same as stock rom modem?
jvk cm 7 is the same as stock jvk modem and the same for the other versions?
Or are cm 7 modem modified some how?
same as stock, just in a different zip.ยจ
I have some modems here perka.zapto.org
I managed to make an update modem package and flash it, with the modem NEJV5 of H3g (italy).
Now let see if it works better!
Just wondering if theres a database or something I'm missing. I've just flashed imilkas CM9 port and am nit in an area with 3G at the moment. I'm worried when I do I won't have it as I've had that issue before so I'd like to have a couple of options I can flash in case. Is anyone aware of anything? I've tried searching but its becoming vary tedious in my phone.
Thanks

The first one is ICS radio from the first Chanfire Repack, the other two simple Gingerbread modems. I find that GB ones work better for me on ICS, either one of them. I'd also recommend that modems be flashed using Mobile Odin:
1. extract modem.bin file from zip
2. place it on your SD card
3. start MO
4. tap on 'Modem', navigate to the modem.bin file
5. let MO flash the radio

Hello
Here's the story
I have a note 5 n920c my original csc code was mid (iraq)
I installed the ( MinotaurusRom V10 ) rom
I didnt have issues with it but i wanted to go back to stock
So i did that but the issue is i now have the (xsg) country code (united Arab Emirates)
And i tried all kind of roms
Is there a way to get back my original csc code .
""( Smart switch doesn't work for my phone .. it says . N920c doesnt support initialization)""
Thanks .:crying:
You can factory restore using Kies, instead of Smart Switch.
Do an Emergency Firmware restore. That will make everything as factory.

You'll have to edit the zip to fit your country's CSC code manually, but this is probably the best method to change CSC without wiping your internal storage. It's what I do whenever I flash a custom ROM that changes my CSC.
Do note that you have to flash the zip DIRECTLY after a clean flash of the custom ROM or else the CSC will not change. Or you could flash the zip and then do a factory reset in twrp (or is it the other way around? I can remember. Just experiment around it.)
Good luck
Edit: or if you do want to wipe your internal storage along, you could download the PhoneInfo app from play store and change your CSC from there.
Edit 2: from my personal experience, for some reason the default CSC in the N9208 Malaysia XME stock ROM is the Philippines CSC. So what I did was I went inside XME folder which is inside the CSC folder which is inside the zip file, and copied all the files there and replaced the files in /CSC (basically outside of the XME folder). If the same thing happens to you this may help as well. Also check the .xml file and make sure that it shows the right CSC for you.
Edit 3: also this belongs in the Q&A forum, mods please move this.

hello eushaun99
so when I open the XME firmware (zip file) I only see one file which when unzipped/extracted turns out to be one file... I dont see any folders.
Would you kindly elaborate on the method. I need to try changing CSC as I no longer have 4G/LTE on my phone.. just H/H+
ps with latest ota update/security patch, my note 5 9208 ain't letting me downgrade to any previous firmware via odin.
Kindly help me out
Thanks

The one file as in the .tar.md5 file? If so rename it to .tar, then you can extract the files inside. After that follow the link I gave to extract the cache.img which contains the CSC folder.

thank you so much for the help.. i did that and replaced the file.
Now how would i go back to original zip file.
all img & bin files need to be converted back to .tar.md5 file... is that possible with winrar?

Uhh, you'll have to do some research on that as I don't have any experience in tarballing stock ROMs. I've seen some guides somewhere to tarball stock ROM.
