EPK2 bootloader and modem for N910T - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General

I downloaded the EPK2 firmware from sammobile and parted out the BL and CP for those of us on custom ROMS. This allows you to ODIN just the BL and CP w/o losing yer custom rom or any data or anything. Tested it myself and am currently running it trouble free.

I'm downloading firmware EQB1 from sammobile, can you tell me how to parted out the BL and CP so we can do the same as EPK2?

What's the decryption key? ^
And what are the steps for updating to EQB1? What is CP? Sorry for all the noob questions. Have been out of the game for awhile.
I want to go to stock so I can get OTA's, as I will be giving this phone to my mom.

Thanks! I see several people now have downloaded the file so I won't upload it, but it'd be great to see the separated BL and CP. Otherwise, thanks!

I do have for the last previous versions and also this new one has already been uploaded... I tested the BL and CP first on my phone to make sure they worked, then I flashed the firmware, then twrp, then SuperSU..

I'm sorry I didn't find you before I did the same sammobile DL and extraction myself. Thanks for maintaining threads for this purpose. I'm gonna stop duplicating your work, just lemme know if you stop updating.

I've been on FireKat for a long time which uses 4.4.4. I'm a little rusty on this but can I update my bootloader and modem now with this one and still use FireKat on 4.4.4 until I find a newer rom on 6, 7 etc I like later? Was thinking yes but wanted confirmation first or reasons not to.
Thank You kindly for any info!

This may sound stupid to some, forgive my ignorance, but if I flash the BL and Modem over my current DOK2, can I then just download and install a custom rom that is based on EPK2 and flash it like normal? Or do I need to actually flash the OFW?

You will have to flash a newer ROM. Whatever DOK2 ROM you are using now will prob not play nice with the updated (not upgraded) BL and baseband. Personally, I haven't found a MM ROM that I liked for this device.

Yeah that is what I had planned on doing. I was just wondering if flashing just the modem and BL would allow me to then flash a custom MM rom without having to first flash the full firmware. Was just looking for a short cut. But I have not decided if I want to upgrade or not. I am currently using Maximum Overdrive v7.1.1, just seems a bit sluggish these days.

I totally agree! Fingers crossed that xposed works with TW one day. Yeah, I just flashed the modem file via odin. Works great on KitKat. Tried calls via cellular & WiFi calling, data via LTE & WiFi, tether, and Bluetooth all around. Don't know about battery life yet or signal (cell tower practically in my backyard) but will report any negatives here if found. Oh btw, use cp button for modem on odin. And you we can always flash back to the old MK7 version if there any issues.... Enjoy!

The OP loaded them on Google Drive now.
Do we still need install modem file, boot.img and stock kernel even after I flash (through ODIN) the firmware from sammobile? Sorry, I have been installing custom ROMs and trying to get back to stock to see how it works. I thought just flashing firmware would be enough (and I thought this will take care of latest model, boot.img), am I wrong?
No need to flash these if you did the whole deal.

It's possible to have minor improvements through an updated baseband/modem/radio version but nothing miraculous. Sometimes newer versions are worse. Just depends. Mine seems the same so far. We'll see. You can always go back.

[CANADIAN] Odin 5.1.1 Bootloader & TWRP Flashable Modem - SM-G925W8 BOI6 *UPDATED*

[CANADIAN] Odin 5.1.1 Bootloader & TWRP Flashable Modem - SM-G925W8 BOI6 *UPDATED*
Thanks to @risx for grabbing the OTA zip to get the stuff we needed.
Prerequisit: You must be on a 5.1.1 compatible TWRP as well as a 5.1.1 rom when flashing these packages or your going to get stuck in a binary miss match. While there is a fix for this with out the W8 5.1.1 odin packages, it takes a lot of musical flashing. So be sure to be on a compatible 5.1.1 rom, Kernel and TWRP first.
As always, you flash at YOUR OWN RISK. I will of course try to provide support if I am online, If you appreciate how much the pain in my butt was, and you didn't have to do this your self. Click Donate.
The Bootloader MUST be flashed via ODIN 3.10.X or higher. in the BL slot. Hence why its a tar. Sorry no flashables, Samsung locks the boot loader areas to everything but their own signed recovery, from their own signed update.zip
BOH8 BL
BOI1 BL
BOI6 BL *LATEST*
The modem is TWRP flashable
BOH8 Modem
BOI1 Modem
BOI6 Modem *LATEST*
You can get ODIN 3.10.6 HERE
Samsung USB Drivers HERE
Thank you so much bro, everything works like charm!!
Thanks @risx for the update.zip file. You made our day!!
ok - this is probably a stupid question, but where do i download the twrp 2.8.7.1 for the g925w8? I can't seem to find the file in my searches. Thanks!

No, you must be on a 5.1.1 compatible TWRP as well as a 5.1.1 rom to flash this or your going ot get stuck in a binary miss match. and there will be no fix for this untill the ODIN package is released by samsung, this usually follows days to weeks after an OTA.

this separate bootloader and modem are not for people who wish to stay stock. for you, you should wait for the ota. This is for people who are already on 5.1.1 roms who wish to have the proper bootloader and modem. There would be no purpose for you to install this if you wish to stay on rogers 5.0.2 and then get their ota when its released.
I have been having problems with the BOH8 modem and XtreStoLite 2.3
There is a delay in receiving txt & my incoming calls randomly sometimes go straight to voicemail.
I flashed back the OG2 modem and it seems to be fine now. Wondering if anyone else has this issue?

Downgrade apg1 to pd8?

Is it possible if so how to do it
Don't think so. I heard that the bootloader is different in PD8. Can't hurt to try though, right?
let me know if you can I would like to downgrade to PD7 so I can flash SM-G935U since it is also U2
---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------
You can try flashing the ENG BOOT then downgrading it to PD8
Yes its possible. Go to the firmware thread and download the pd8 firmware and extract it. Open Odin and put each file in it's respected place (file that starts with ap in the ap slot, CSC in the CSC slot etc) and then flash. After reboot you should be good to go. Warning though, make sure you have everything backed up somewhere else though because it will wipe your entire internal data.

Even on PD8 since it is V3 boot loader it will not allow since the error message states you are trying to downgrade the boot loader from V3 to V2. As anyone has tired to go to PD7?

We're out of luck until the SM-G935U's bootloader is updated.
Apparently T-Mobile is the only one pushing out the new bootloader. ATT & Verizon can still flash SM-G935U firmware.

I don't understand what the big deal is? I was on pd8 and did Odin (NOT OTA) to pg1. I then did Odin from pg1 to pd8. Why is everyone trying to figure out of it works? What's different about the bootloader because I even flashed the pg1 bootloader and then went back to pd8.

Help me identify the correct FW to flash/update to Pie 9.0

I have an Sprint Samsung S8. I want to update to Android Pie 9. Its currently on Android 8.0.0 - R16NW.G950USQU5CSA4. And I want to flash with Odin to any compatible Android Pie FW. I am personally not looking to unlock or anything. The confusing part is that when I research the FW version (G950USQU5CSA4) it comes as a Verizon FW. So I am not sure if is safe to flash any of the Pie FW available on sammobile for Sprint.
It is safe to flash for example to one like G950USQU5DSD3 that appears in Sammobile and is for Sprint?

Awesome, thank you!
For any newbie like me who ever had a look at this thread. This definitely work as said by @kpwnApps, I downloaded SM-G950U, build G950USQU5DSD3 (3.92GB) from Sammobile and flashed with Odin. Flashed AP, BL, CP, CSC (not CSC_HOME) on its respective place on Odin. 5m 32s later it was updated with no trouble.

Last question, I am personally not interested. Just curious. As long as is the same android version, would it be possible to downgrade too by flashing with Odin and earlier version? or would something like that cause a brick?
