Hey, i have the note and in the regional it "KOR", which one should i change to be international?
i see that all the updates are international first.
There is no 'international' like in sole version that gets updates. It still attached to the region you live or bought the phone.
Recently, the German version has been receiving updates first. Code - DBT
But this is no guarantee that will stay that way.
Cheers.

o.k but i live in israel and the phone is not released in here and the region is set to "KOR".
there are alot of free games that i cant find in samsung apps and i like to know which one is the best to set?
b.t.w - i still didnt see the last firmware update.
Just change your region.
Type this on the phone dialer - *#272*your imei number#

please note that by changing your region you will wipe your phone like doing a factory reset. make a backup first.

country code
Hi guys. I've gut a similar problem in that my cmc code is aus and I am in the UK. I don't seem to have the country codes that would suit me, and I have not received the last Feb update. Any suggestions. Really wanting ics asap. Ta all
Since around a month, there hasnt been any new Galaxy S4 updates when it comes to Middle eastern, African and neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan because all of them are stuck at UBMEA. But on the other hand, Indian Sub continent (inda,Srilanka, nepal, bangladesh,etc.) are now ahead of the rest by THREE updates (MF5,MF8,MG1) now which is stupid and it doesnt make sence.
I know it takes time, but in the past with Galaxy S3 updates, all countries used to get the SAME update and then after some time, Samsung used to release a new update when most of the countries had got the previous update. But now Samsung have ignored the rest and concentrating on few countries now.
IT makes me wonder whether whether the rest countries are now being ignored or indian sub continent has got the most faulty units in comparison to others.
Thoughts?
p.s. Not all people like to 0din and flash manually.
There isn't a logical answer at your question. Middle East countries sale match more than Shrilanca Indonesia, Bangladesh e.t.c

I would suggest you use Odin and install the latest firmwares coming out. Those are official updates. I guess that's the reason why your phone came with Odin mode.
I got my phone from a distributor, and my phone came from South Africa. It took a while before I got the MEA update, and now that I see new firmwares coming out, I finally decided to use Odin, my phone is now officially from Bangladesh (software-wise)

If you look on Sammobile or Samsung-Updates at any Samsung device there are regions on ancient ROMs while CSC's like DBT have gotten three updates. It's pretty random from device-to-device and region-to-region.
It's more of the official country importer's fault than Samsung's fault...

No its samsungs, they should send out the update to everyone. I understand the delay, HTC devices also have similar delays when software updates are rolled out.
There are people in the UK Still stuck on MDM..... Not sure why you think you think you are being ignored.
Dont worry though, nothing past MEA seems to make much of a difference anyway lol
dude most latin american countries are still rocking MDE or MDK
now thats ignored, mine was TPA(Panama) and to this day MDK is its latest
i used odin to flash MF3 from TTT, and might flash MG1 if it doenst come ota by august.

Why would a stock firmware brick your phone ? i flashed my Dutch Vodafone rom with the DBT rom from Germany. The only way you can brick your device is if you flash a i9505 rom on a i9500

I seriously dont understand the differences because it is absurd. Either the indian sub continent has sold more i9500 than other countries or Samsung dont like to take notice of other countries. HTC is Way better when it comes to 'Distribution' (and not the number) of updates as they cover the whole continent at once.

HTC is exactly the same. They are just have a different way to do that (by CID) and you can't flash a new firmware without rooting or messing with your device.
All OEMs are the same, they have a lot of differe t firmwares for a lot of different regions, thus making everybody wait for ages or ignoring some regions completely, LG doesnt count cause they almost never update their devices
why doenst samsung release two universal firmwares for the 9500 and 9505 and then the carrier specifics? would be a lot easier

I live in Pakistan
I have a I9500 and I am still stuck with XXUAMDK
Whenever I check for updates from the phone or kies, they notify me with that I have the latest firmware installed.
Although I know that there are updates rolled out.
How to check whether my phone connects to the samsung servers to check for the updates?
And I have not rooted or customised my phone in any way. The status still shows "Official"

You can flash any I9500 official Samsung rom downloaded from here www.sammobile.com/firmware with Odin 3.04. You don`t have to wait for updates.

Hello guys, I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM -9005 not branded
and I'm still not receiving the update via OTA. I also tried Kies but that didn't help me. Does someone know how to get the update without flashing?
I'm in Germany and the KitKat update is already available (since one month now)
PS. Knox counter is 0x0

If you were rooted, then dat would explain why you didn't get OTA notification.
But anyways, as far as I know, only VD2 - Vodafone, VIA - O2 and DTM - Tmobile are available for Germany now and unless your phone belongs to one of these categories or should i say regions, then maybe you shouldn't actually get KK officially yet. Dial *#1234# to check.
And even if you fall into one of the above, you can still jst flash it in ODIN, Kn0x should stay at 0x0 as long as you do not root.
Cheers.
As far as I know the update should already be available, is getting March by now. I'm with O2. But anyway thanks for your reply
Have O2 actually pushed the update? OR are you referring to the Unbranded Kitkat that has been pushed? -- cause both are very different. - Also If O2 is anything like it is in the UK they're slow as hell to push out updates. Often last and very late.
I have a unbranded Note 3, but I'm using a O2 Sim card. I was referring to the unbranded update but I think since I'm using O2 it's recognized as a O2 phone, even in play store it shows my Note 3 as: O2 SM -9005
It should still register as an unbranded model due to your firmware. -- Mine is unbranded also and in play store I have O2 Appspace / O2 SM-N9005 like you. - Could try grabbing the actual unbranded ROM from Sammobile and flash it via Odin.
DBT unbranded just confirmed now.
Yep, update started here too
Lol. That escalated quickly!
Hi guys,
A few days ago I bought my note 3.
It was running on android 4.3.
My csc was N9005LUXDMK1.
My 4g reception was amazing.
Because my csc was LUX I didn't get the update to 4.4.2
So I flashed a version from the Netherlands with csc N9005PHNENA2.
Everything went fine, but since then I lost the option LTE in network modes.
I'm very frustrated about that. The 4g was one of the reasons I bought this phone.
Does anyone have a solution or knows the reason why I lost LTE?
It would be a great help if someone could give me a solution.
Can I go back to 4.3, the original version with LUX csc?
Thx in advance

Hi all,
I have a Vodafone UK Note 3 (n9005). Is it possible to flash the unbranded ROMs on my phone? I don't want custom ROMs at this point but a regular unbranded ROM with all Samsung stuff is fine. The reason being that the Vodafone ROM does not have updates that enable Ultra Power Saving/Kids mode and the TW is a little different to what I have seen in the unbranded ROMs (Ive compared with Indian ROMS for N900)
Please let me know if there will be any impacts when flashing and any steps I should take while doing it. I am from India if that matters. The phone works with Indian SIM no problem there. Just want to keep it that way.

I know both are different. I am only asking about N9005. Did you notice any improvements after flashing NF4? Battery or performance?
I dont want download booster or knox 2.0 just curious about performance and anything different in UI
