It's same like the UK version? Because I saw that update on sammobile a little time ago. But this romanian version it came out after the UK one. So it's something new, or if you can find some change log please post it, I'll try to search to.

do you have to root the tablet in order to install update?

No you don't need root to install it, you need a recovery mode like CWM or TWRP (hope that's the name). If you're from the region where the official update is available ota, no you don't need root or costume recovery, you can update via Kies. If you will flash the ROM from sammobile site via recovery (ex. CWM) and you have root, you will lose it becouse that's the official ROM from Samsung and it's not already rooted, but you can reroot , your device. Look in to the Android Development category to finde out more about rooting and flashing ROMs or Kernels. I recommend you to read more about rooting and flashing ROMs becouse you can brick your device easily, so take care.

[Q] Upgrading the firmware for a different country

Hello to all, I have a UK/BTU Note 3 and the kitkat update has not been out yet. I was wondering if I should update my phone with another country official firmware but I am not sure.
What are the cons of doing it?
Will I be able to have OTA updates after or I must download and flash updates myself?
Are there any other pros except that I will not have to wait more for the update? Are the firmware for some countries better than others? I heard that Poland's firmware is working better than any other?
Thank you very much

U will get update threw OTA only from country u flash, if u want to come back to BTU u must flash threw Odin, u waited for long & today branded UK firmware start seeding so it should not tack much longer time for BTU now, yes poland firmware is the one getting flash without issues of size & its stable also.

Thank you for clarifying it! if I remember correctly, 2 months ago on sammobile forums someone told me that I could not get OTA updates If I flash a different country firmware.
Are you sure I will be able to do it?
Maybe I will flash the polish firmware if I get Poland's OTA's because as I know Poland is always getting the updates first.
So it would be better for the future to get the updates without waiting so long...
Also as I see on sammobile there are two 4.4.2 firmware for Poland. Which one should I choose? (tried, but I cannot post links yet as I am new to the forum, sorry)
I Am 99% sure but I will ask anyway, flashing official Samsung firmware does not void my guaranty, am I correct?

My mobile is from uae, I flash first A6 Poland firmware at launch after that received ota of poland latest B3, My knox is 0x0, I hop I answered your questions, feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

Thank you again, you answered all my questions.
Only one left! should I download and flash the B3 or the A6 first?

U can flash directly B3, but for best results clear data & catch before & after flash.

You can use Wanam Xposed module to fake your device status. There are other Xposed modules that also does this. At first I thought this was only a cosmetic information, but it actually tricks the system and the OTA really work. It worked for me.

Has anyone tried this and had success. I'm hesitant to try it on my N910U

If there is a new firmware, you can simply download it on pc from a repository, flash via odin and reroot.

Yep wanams module lets me check/perform updatea

Tried using wanam xposed to fake my device as official. But I still get a modified device error when trying to update

Me too. Wanam only make you able to download the update, but cannot install.
I have to install via Odin.

Actually I use this trick only to be alerted when something new is available. I flash it using ODIN.

- Download the correct firmware for your device.
- Connect phone to PC, run Odin, select AP, and Start.

Hmm. Now the only firmware updates I see for my N910U is a 4.4.4 and I'm already running 4.4.4 so why does my phone say there is an update?

What fw r u on?

4.4.4? Or it something else? Where do I find it?

N910uxxu1anj5?

I am under custom recovery and i believe that the reason OTA update fail even fake the status.
Anyway to revert to stock recovery?

I don't like Kies, but sometimes I have to use it to check if there's an update, and if it finds one, it will install it for you but you have to reroot afterwards. I think this is the only method if you're rooted.
@Andrewtst, I had a Note 3 with custom recovery (CWM), and when I was one firmware behind, Kies prompted me for an update and after I updated it I got the stock recovery back. Don't know if this is the case with the Note 4, will try when there's an update for my Note 4.

I believe kies is full rom. I don't want full rom. If full rom, can download from sammobile and flash via odin.

Check with 'Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆' app, under 'OS INFO' section.

I found it. And apparently I already have the latest version even though it says there's an update available.

[Q] New update for my phone, will i lose everything with ODIN?

Want to do this right, so thought i would ask before diving in.
found a new firmware update from sammobile.
got custom recovery, rooted, supersu and titanium.' backup.
if I flash via download mode and ODIN, will it wipe my phone?
how to do this right without loosing everything? just use titanium and backup system apps etc and give it a whirl?

It won't erase anything. But you will lose custom recovery and root. All apps will remain.

ah, excellent. then just rerootwith chainfire auto root and flash recovery again.. thanks..
Btw, I`m in norway. and noticed this release now, http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/41069/N910FXXU1ANK4_N910FTEN1ANK1_TEN.zip/
but it is more recent firmwares than this. would it be safe to flash a newer rom than this, f.ex an unbranded rom from italy etc? or would i be asking for trouble.?

You can flash newer from other regions with no problems.

I recommend flash the firmware related to the CSC (region code) of your device for avoid problems. You can install this app for know your CSC very easy and flash the latest firmware via ODIN for your note 4: HERE

Meant to reply and not to thank cause I don't agree with you. Csc is interchangeable.
As long as you don't try to downgrade and the firmware is for your specific model then no problems should arise. Been doing it for years with every samsung I have had since the original i9000. Don't know what you have done to come up with those problems.
The only way I see a problem is if you tried to flash a firmware that specifically was asking for a pit file to repartition and you didn't comply. Then yes, there I can agree.
And I'm always speaking of original firmwares.
Cheers

It is ok. Ty for your explanations but i still without agree with you :highfive:

Most of Europe uses the F model. Some countries import the C variant. If you flash the correct one for your model it won't cause you any problems. Doesn't matter if it's Italy's Germany's or any eu state just as long it is for the intended model. I don't know if it applies globally though.

If i set my phone info to original via wanam than i got software update, is it possible to update?

I coudn't install a firmware for a different CSC for my SM-N910H, it always fails at the end of odin flash, I am not the only one with this problem. I read somewhere that you can't install a ROM with a different CSC for some of Note 4 variants.

Thanks!
Darktitor for the Korean mirror!
Note:
Korea is a good start, but I need more mirrors to make this truly multi-region. If you have your country's firmware uploaded to a mirror for the SM-P900 then post the link and I will add it to the OP. I would like this thread to be an alternative to having to use Sam Mobile or other slower sites and people on XDA could come here to get their firmware updates! I need your help though because I can't host every country on my AFH account so any mirrors provided will be added to the OP and you will be thanked for your help!

Is this the new Lollipop Version?

I believe it's just the fullnstock version in case anyone wants to go back to stock or receive an update or softbricks his/hers note pro Extremely handy to have around, of course I could be mistaken.

You can download all full versions on sammobile.com or on samdownloads.de or on samsung-updates.com.

It is full stock NK1 for people who softbrick or need to Odin back like I did last night. If Lollipop is released I will add it to this thread as well. Even though Sammobile and Samsung updates has these files the free downloads are incredibly slow and I have an uploader account at Android File host so I figured why not use it for a faster mirror? But if you want to download from the other sites I will not deter you.

The Problem is, that this ROM is only for one Country. If you would like to give the People faster download an so on you must upload ALL ROMs.

I posted the one for my country because I got it directly from Kies when it was updating my device. I don't have the hosting space to upload every country and it would take me weeks to download them from Sam Mobile due to their bandwidth limits and my upload speed. However, there are options:
1.) Upload your country's firmware to a file hosting site and share the link with me and I'll post it here with the country code giving you, or anyone else who provides a link, full credit in the OP.
or
2.) Create your own thread and host every country's firmware then I'll happily lend you my link and close this thread.
With more help I can make this post better, but to complain and offer no feasible solution is useless to everyone in the community.

I have been trying to root for the past several days and kies takes way too long to get back to stock rom.

not sure if I got a bad download, but i got a bootloop with this firmware. The sammobile website has XAP at the end...not HOME.
Not sure, but there was no recovery img installed, and I could not boot into recovery...only download mode. So, since I was planning to root, I flashed twrp in ODIN...I can boot into twrp recovery...but not the rom.
Now when I boot into download my knox warranty void counter is 1.
redownloading and flashing in ODIN again. Hope I can get it to boot. If not, I have a brick....all because of samsungs crappy lollipop OTA that borked everything. This was my work tablet too. If I have to replace, I will be going to surface pro and will never buy another sammy product again.
Venting.
EDIT: I got it too boot! I redownloaded the files, flashed in odin...but it still wouldnt boot. What worked was, I manually booted into recovery (stock recovery by holding power and volume up). Then I went to wipe data/factory reset....delete all user data. then reboot...and it booted right up! Whew.
Now time to root, do the triangle away knox trip counter reset...and flash cm12.1

I may have spoken too soon. Lol
There is an app on the play store called triangle away...but note pro is not on list of compatible devices. To my understanding it works like this.
Knox security trip : 1
You can reset to 0.
Knox security trip : 0x1
You cannot reset at all.
Either way I could care less because I plan on staying rooted and running aosp/cm roms or another custom rom if I ever go back to touchwiz. And my warranty is already expired anyway so...oh well. A voided warranty isn't really a big deal to me. If I brick this device oh well... I'll buy a nexus tablet.

Theres something wrong with my tablet. Whenever I try to flash the stock ROMs in Odin it fails and soft bricks every time. This past week I've been trying all the different stock ROMs that work from the factory 4.4.2 to the various 5.02 ones to see which one works and they've all failed except the Korean one.
I always had to flash the cm rom in between soft bricks and another rom just to be able to boot up my nandroid backuo. The whole situation is weird lol. All I want is lollipop and my keyboard working with xposed.
