What means PDA and CSC from the firmware page of SamMobile.com?
Are those firmwares for "factory unlocked" (not from operator) versions of GT-I9505?
Are there two variants of that model?
What's the difference between I9505OXXAMDB and I9505OXXAMD8?

When you click on a firmware over at samfirmware it should tell you.
Edit:
Sorry if you mean you want to check your phone's region you can download "phone info" from google play.

Type in dialpad #*1234# and post what you see, where did you buy the phone and where do you live? Have you looked on www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ for firmwares?
Kuwait and I got it from a mobile shop here

Firmwares Saudi Arabia unlocked KSA http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=KSA#firmware or STC (carrier version) http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=XFU#firmware. Download and flash with Odin 3.07 in downloadmode (will not trigger KNOX warranty).

Nope, the info from #*1234# is almost useless because OJV is a Multi-csc, it includes the following 3 csc: XSI, KSA and XFM.
(you can get this info by open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, select menu --> CSC Lookup and search for the 'OJV')
So you don't know what exactly your csc is.
Instead, in your previous post, you know exactly your csc is XSI. So the download link for your firmware on sammobile is:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=XSI#firmware

If the phone is unlocked he just has to flash the latest Saudi KSA rom, but apart from the CSC file they are probably identical

Yes I see, but I think the OP will prefer flashing the firmware from the 'Original' CSC
Why can't I do it OTA? If so..

My bad.....actualy they all have the same changelist number they probably are about the same.
EDIT: sorry BE Firmware? you mean if you can flash black edition in a non black edition , i think so , the device is the same only change is the outside , software is the same only change a few things , wallpapers , ringtones....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687769
You can flash Black Edition firmware on a Black Mist device. The only difference between the two is, as mentioned, some added wallpapers and ringtones.

help plz !
Why you wouldn't use the one from Hong Kong I don't know (since yours was originally from HK)... but maybe the rom you downloaded is corrupt or not fully downloaded.
Did you check md5? Try to download it again.. or I would suggest you go to sammobile.com and get official HK lollipop version.

Help upgrading from JellyBean

Hi,
I'm currently on 4.3 and some apps are now no longer supported and I'd like to get to the latest version.
Can anyone help me with the process? I'm not sure whether I need to go to KitKat, Lollipop and then Marshmallow, or if I can do a direct copy.
I'm slightly wary of doing this because I tried it a couple of years ago to go to KitKat and ... it didn't end well but I managed to get back to my 4.3 version.
Full Details:
Baseband Version - N9005XXUDMJ7
Kernel Verson - 3.4.2-2019540
Build Number - EchoeRom_v6_JSS15J.N9005XXUDMK2
SELinux Status - Enforcing SEPF_SM_N9005_4.3_0012
Hardware Version - MP0.602
Thank you in advance
Are you asking about Samsung stock rom.
Or Custom rom ??

It's a custom Rom - EchoeRom v6
I don't mind changing to whatever makes it easier if that helps
Update stock firmware via Odin from updato,com,#
Then choose your rom .
That will update bootloader and baseband for later custom roms.
Thanks.
I've gone to the site, filtered by United Kingdom (Vodafone) and it's come up with 2 options:
GALAXY Note 3 SM-N9005 5.0 April 23, 17 United Kingdom (Vodafone) (VOD) N9005XXSGBQA1
GALAXY Note 3 SM-N9005 5.0 January 28, 16 United Kingdom (Vodafone) (VOD) N9005XXUGBOL3
I'm guessing I want the bottom one?

The QA1 would be newer.
Once that's been downloaded/installed, should my phone still work on 4.3 but also have the capacity to take the newer Roms?
It will be whatever you download 4.4 .2 or 5.0
Then add custom recovery as required by choosen rom.
