So I have the I9505 and apparently it was imported from Hong Kong (It's fully unlocked and working) the baseband version is ZHUAME3 and the build date is May 14 which is the latest in Hong Kong... I wanna flash the stock UK ROM which has the build May 29 because it's newer. Do I flash using Odin? And will it remove data?
Also, will I have problems with networks?

Well if you are having unlocked version u can flash the latest firmware using Odin and ya flashing over old firmware wont delete the data
make sure ur are getting the correct version for ur device

BAckup ur device data to be on the safer side

One last question... when I download the ROM from samsung-updates there're 2 files one for the ROM and one for the kernel do I need to flash both or just the ROM?

I am seeing conflicting reports on flashing stock Roms from different regions. Basically I have the N9005 and I want to get the latest updates as soon as they arrive.
So is it safe to flash a rom from another region considering I turn off the activation lock before proceeding? Do I need to worry about my EFS being wiped/cleared? If my phone is region unlocked is it possible to get locked if I flash a rom from another region?
Which is the best rom to flash right now? The UK unbranded BTU one?
Thanks.

Just go to Sammobile and download uk btu and your be safe
yeah your phone will most likely get region locked if you flash a different regions firmware..but you can easily use CFs regionlock away app to fix that... as for efs getting borked, there is a high chance, seen users with both note 2 and s4 that have that issue so i would recommend backing up your efs...

Hello,
When ever I download a firmware file it comes as one file, e.g.: I9505XXUBMGA_I9505ITVBMH1_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5
When I put it in Odin (AP) I get a Fail(Auth) error. However, when I try to install a firmware that is divided into separate files, e.g.:
AP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CSC_OXA_I9505OXAFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
The flashing procedure succeeds, I use the same cable and the same USB port.
What could be the cause?

Ived seen a few people saying you can downgrade your phone into 4.3 by using mobile odin pro...So do this at your own Risk. And Sammobile released another kitkat leak 4.4.2 FNAD firmware today so you might wanna check that out . And im sure Samsung will release the Official kitkat firmware soon .

I have another question. The reason I opened this thread is because i'm having reception issues for quite some time.
I changed to a different carrier today, the device cannot connect to the new carrier, I also changed to the new firmware
you just mentioned, still nothing.
Should I try to flash a different modem? if so, which of the modems are compatible with this version of firmware?
Thanks

You can just flash the latest omega rom mate and make sure your doing a fullwipe so you wont get any problem later. And dont forget to make a backup first incase something will happen. About the modem , if your not having any problem with signal issue after flashing the v2x then no need to flash any modem. And Feel free to check sammobile for the modem you need that base from your country/provider and download the modem/lte from here and flash it via odin .

Best thing you can do is stay on Fn5 modem then flash the latest version of Omega rom , If your having any Dropping signal issue then flash the modem base from your Provider , But feel free to flash the FNC4 modem since that's the latest one for your Country !

I'd like to install a stock ROM in my Note 3 SM-N9005, but there are many ones. The one of my country is stuck with 4.3. Can I install a any stock ROM of any country and will it work?

As far as I know you need to flash the correct ROM for your country. You'll find the lastest ROMs at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
To search and download a firmware it is recommended to join for free at this website. Then search for your model "SM-N9005" and for each country the last firmware version will be displayed. You can download and flash it.

Provided that your phone is not locked to a network, you are free to install ROMs from different countries. Just make sure you choose the correct ROM for your particular device.
So I'm going to bite the bullet and go to KK from JB.
Once I've KK'd my phone I'll put a custom rom in it.
knox is tripped and I'm rooted.
Will I need to unlock the bootloader once flashed?
Also getting a bit confused as to which is latest stock firmware for my SM-N9005?
Been googling and I have a ND3 and a ND6 versions?
But then I google more and get NE and a NF versions?
Phone is the european version originally on vodafone.
Don't suppose it really matters as I'll be going to a custom rom but would like to start from the latest in case I don't like any of the available custom roms as yet.........
Thanks for any help you provide
no-one knows the latest international european stock rom version?
AFAIK there isn't a "European" version per se, different ROMs for different areas/countries.
Go to samfirmware.com and check by date released.

Go to sam mobile NF is current latest version but you can go for NE version. European Version doesn't really matter just download appropriate file for your Vodafone firmware . Here is the link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29534 (ND3)
You can try the NF version(Latest) also if you want to even not for Vodafone stated on the Website but before you flash, make sure to tick the update bootloader because you are still on JB firmware. Then you can try any of Custom Roms available on Android Development Section.

Is it PDA or CSC that indicates latest?
I know the HK roms are for 16gb phones although I think someone has a 'fix' for int 32gb versions.
Although the NF version is for the 900T I think it can be flashed to the int9005?
Damn Samsung and their knox tripping

Mate, if there are no NF available for N9005 then dont flash it. You have and and you must download only the correct version of firmware that is sm-n9005. PDA is the one that indicate the latest. In sammobile website the latest version for N9005 is NE so you have to go for NE for the latest version. I have no idea if NF1 is flashable on european 32Gb cause of rumors and what not that will brick the phone, and to be safe just download the NE firmware. :good:
