[Q] I need firmware Kitkat 4.4.2

For a Galaxy Note 3 LTE N9005XXUDMJ7.
Were can I find it? On Sammobile I find nothing for that number in combination with kitkat 4.4.2. Please help me.
I have a Bosnia and Herzegovina Note 3.
Will a firmware 4.4 from Slovakia (or Uzbekistan, Papoea New Guinea, or ...) work? As long it isn't branded? Or do I have to stick to N9005XXUDMJ7??

why do u need that 4.3 JB?
flashing other region shld be no problem as long as same device.
e.g: n9005 must take n9005.
however u have to avoid hongkong and Taiwan firmware.

[Q] Wich firware is the good one ?

Hi,
For a couple of days my Galaxy S5 XEF SM-G900F tells me there's and update for the firmware. As my phone was rooted no FOTA were possible so I uninstalled the root. Still no way tu update from OTA.
I tried Kies, but it always stop at 19% (tried on 2 different computers). So ok, back to the only one method that always works : ODIN BUT
Kies tells me that the available version is DA: OC7/CSC: OC2/PHONE: OC7
On sammobile, the only one firmware that has a csc: OC2 is the one for a specific carrier (Bouygues) . Which one should I download and flash to be up to date please ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.
