does anyone have this to flash with ODIN? I just need to flash this to get the newer baseband radio from it.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Okay found all of the stuff OIDN and drivers and the rom along with TWRP 2.8.7.0 to flash with ODIN after the firmware it flashed so that you can go back to a know good working recovery once your done with the baseband update. I'll post a link to my google drive once I have all of that in place. Now what I'd like to know is if you would like it all in part ie. rom zip then the odin zip and the recovery zip and the drivers zip or would you like it in one big zip file? Let me know. That way I can get up to the drive that most of the users want it in. Thanks and glade we still have devs that work on this old but still kick a$$ phone.

I apologize for the late reply, but here's a download link from SamFirmware.com (a mirror which doesn't throttle downloads to less than 56k dialup speeds).

Take sim card out while flashing.
I tried to flash mine through ota update. Somehow damaged my sim.
I realised a day later that i could not send an sms message. Recieve ok send no. Everything else was fine. Lucky i had my girl's sim to test it.
Had to get a new one at the store. They tried to charge me. Ha!
Better safe than sorry.

I accepted this update via OTA and had no such problems, I suspect your problems may have been caused by a failed update.

Yes. it was. The file I downloaded from here (QD2 Update) would not complete flashing. So I ODINed the PL1 firmware and tried to flash again. did not work. blahdiblah.
Eventually I went through the OTA update from PL1. the phone rebooted telling me to insert sim. I managed to restart the phone and get the sim recognized, but the sim was damaged somehow with it not being able to send text messages.
Went to the store. they at first tried to charge me for a new sim.... but then the guy remembered that I had previously called his manager complaining that he was too good of a salesman.... then he told me straight: "we've had a bunch of complaints about that problem" (OTA updates breaking SIM cards)
So, Just to be on the safe side, I take the sim out from now on.

I suspect you may have an out of date modem that's not compatible with the latest Lollipop update. My initial questions to you are did you install this update via OTA or using ODIN and what OS did you have prior to installing this update? If your currently installed modem is indeed out of date, the first troubleshooting step would be to re-flash the N900TUVUFQD2 firmware using ODIN.

I have the SM-N900TUVUFQD2 from T Mobile, but not on a major network.
Would like to update to Marshmallow, can someone please post the steps on how to do this or a link if someone has the Marshmallow update file, please.

The link in AndroidHacker99 post is 5.0 Lollipop

Update; I am running Phronesis N5 6.0.1 v3.0 and it is running very well with no problems.

Alright, sounds like there needs to be some clarification here.

#1. I installed the update via ODIN, and IF you flashed the update via ODIN as well, your baseband WILL update (assuming something didn't go wrong, in which case I recommend a re-flash to ensure the process completed successfully).
#2. I never intended this to become an error reporting thread, I was simply posting a notification for those who didn't know about this update. You should go post about this in the Troubleshooting section of this Note 3 (TMO) subsection.
#3. If you want to complain to me saying "This update broke my phone!!"... It's not my software, therefore it's not my problem. All modifications (this includes firmware flashes) are YOUR responsibility and YOU perform it at YOUR OWN RISK.

Go look around on XDA, everyone says "PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK".

Hope this cleared most of it up, if not... go re-read it because you probably didn't ACTUALLY read it.
