VZW-N900VVRSEPL1 Offical Firmware

Just thought I'd share this last official update as it took quite a long time to download:

To keep your bootloader unlocked, extract the tar.md5 and create a new tar with aboot.mbn and sbl1.mbn excluded.

Thanks for sharing this.
Quick question, how do you make TAR files in Windows? Wasn't sure if something like 7Zip is capable of achieving this.
Also, is root possible on this build?

Yes, 7zip works fine. As long as you retain your unlocked bootloader by removing those files mentioned, you will be able to flash a custom recovery or patched Magisk boot.img.

Appreciate the reply. By the way looks like this guy already did the work and has these in flashable form if you are interested:

I updated my Verizon Note 3 a couple of days ago. I thought it a bit strange that after the update the Baseband version is still N900VVRUEOF1, while the Build number is LRX21V.N900VVRSEPL1. I had thought I could easily re-root it using the Arabic ToolApp, but it does not recognize the phone anymore as an OF1 but sees it as ver N900VVRSEPL1. I should be very grateful is someone shows me how to root the phone and unlock the bootloader.

I just got a hold of a samsung galaxy note 3 sadly much of the info on this forum is old and don't appear to work to root the device to put a newer version of android on the phone as it has android 5.0 Was really hoping I could put android 9.0 at least on the phone guess not since I can't get no root access to the phone or a bootloader. Any help would be great thanks.
