I unlocked my UK vodafone flashed the BTU version but kies does not recogonise my fimware.I tried flashing back to Vodafone firmware but my phone is slovakian and kies does not recognise my firmware.I used odin 3.04 .Do i need to include a pit file ? The vodafone software has 4 files inside but the BTU only has one.

[Q] i9505 safe update?

Hi all
I have i9505 with:
AP: XXUDMH9
CP: XXUDMH9
CSC: DTMDMH2
The device is stock as it could be but is already with the KNOX bootloader. If I flash the following firmware (downloaded from $amsung) will my device status and knox counter remain untouched? (flash with odin 3)
PDA: I9505XXUEMKF
CSC: I9505OXXEMK3
MODEM: I9505XXUEMKF
The correct firmware for ya is: HERE. In theory only KNOX will be 0x1 if u root it, u want come back to android 4.2.2 or install custom kernel/recovery. Flashing STOCK ROM dont have to be a problem with KNOX :fingers-crossed:

[Q] SM-N9005 flash latest XTC or BTU NF4 over XFV (South Africa Vodafone) via MOP

Hello to all,
Current Info: haven't flashed any other rom, only update via OTA then rooted via towelroot thanks to @geohot, knox 0x0 (installed knox v1.0.0xxuenc2):
Country: South Africa (Vodafone) - region unlock: I'm currently using here in Philippines with a local simcard without issues
Model: SM-N9005 (32gb)
Model name: GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Product Code: XFV (original)*
PDA: N9005XXUENC2 (so far this is the latest for xfv)
CSC: N9005VFGENA4 (multi csc - same with UK vod)
MODEM: N9005XXUENC2
As from the title these are the following questions:
1. Can I also use "N9005XXUFNF4_hlte_Stock_Odex_Not_Rooted_NoKnox.zip" by @mdiaz33685 to upgrade to btu NF4 over xfv NC2? taken from @sweeney_uk post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53952241&postcount=1
2. How about using official btu NF4 from sammobile.com then flash via MOP?
(It's clear to me that flashing later/latest version will not trip knox but i'm hesitant because I haven't found in the forum that flash over from exact product code of mine xfv to a different csc)
3. What are the issues using BTU NF4 in Asia?
4. What if I use official xtc NF4 firmware from sammobile.com then load in open file section via MOP, will this work without tripping knox?
I want to keep root access and knox 0x0 and unbrand my phone (i prefer to have xtc so I can receive OTA here) . As much as possible I don't want to use PC odin because some user soft bricked their phone and I think i can't revive mine via kies since it doesn't support initialization of different region csc.
Sorry for this redundant questions as I already post this to other threads. I decide to make this thread hoping to get more advice because I want to be 100% sure. Thanks in advance

Hi mate
As long as you flash with Odin knox counter will not be trigger , as far as i know I9505 modems can only be flashed with a recovery so any modem should be safe to flash
Check this thread , they hav a nice collection of modems
