I want to flash the updated firmware below and was wondering if this would cause any issues? I was wondering if this may cause the IMEI to change to a different number. Also, could I flash a different firmware from a different carrier/country? For example Brazil to German etc. Thanks in advance.

Generally, it doesn't matter much. The only possible thing that might is that some modems/radios do better in some regions than others, but that's a very, very subjective assessment to make. In my region, modem/radio changes make literally no difference, while in some others, it can have a bigger impact on performance, bandwidth, call quality, battery life, etc.
So, in short. No, it won't probably do any harm to try a different stock firmware. Just read first and follow the instructions in Odin exactly, and you'll be fine. I might suggest that, if you intend to go flash-crazy, you first make a backup of your EFS folder, because without it, you will have a $600 media player and be unable to make calls on your network. You can potentially lose your IMEI number, which is about the worst thing that can happen short of a hard-brick.
It's very rare, but it's something to be aware of before you go crazy.
No, flashing a stock firmware should not change your IMEI number.
Ok, by backing up your EFS folder this could be done with a nandroid backup? I do have 2 nandroid backups. So I think I should be ok.
One other quick question, I know that the I9505 is not compatable with AT&T LTE if I was to flash AT&T firmware would that give me LTE?

No, it's not. There are recoveries which support EFS backup, but it's not something that happens by default on any of which I am aware.
There's also a tool called something like EFS Professional here on XDA to backup your EFS, and personally, I've had good results with it on stock ROMs, but you have to be rooted and have busybox installed to use it. You can never be too safe when it comes to your EFS and I always keep multiple and redundant copies in various places for that reason. I probably have five backups for every device I own, and I did lose my EFS on my SIII once, so it saved my bacon.
EFS Professional

As to the AT&T question, I'm not really sure, but I bet someone here knows the answer. It seems that I recall something about the fact that the only difference between the models is the modems/radios, but I could be wrong about that. It would depend (probably) on what band your LTE carrier uses.

Good day guys! I'm new here at XDA, and with all this csc, rooting and flashing of roms thing and I just wanted to ask something about it.
I recently bought my friend's note 3 which originally had the Malaysian Rom (XME).. but before he sold the phone to me, he told me that he had updated/flashed the Singaporean Rom (MM1) on the phone.. I just wanted to ask, is it still possible to go back to the original XME Rom even though he had already flashed a newer MM1 Rom?? Would the phone still work as it should be with no problems/issues?? I hope someone could help me on this.. Many thanks guys!

You can try but if it starts looping reflashing the Singaporean rom should fix it.
Boot-looping just means it has a newer bootloader in this case. If possible I would suggest to make a backup of your EFS folder.

Thanks for the info mate! I'm now actually tempted to try what you have just said, but i worry about the backing up and restoring of EFS part.. It sounds hard and complicated. I think I'll just wait for an updated Malaysian Rom (XME) and then flash that one.. just to be on the safe side.. Cheers!
May i ask what happens if you try to downgrade to an old firmware?
You'll bootloop because the bootloader won't be able to boot it.

if your phone has been rooted AND if your friend had flashed the Singaporean Rom by using Mobile Odin Pro, you can fallback to the older firmware. Because the old bootloader was preserved by Mobile Odin Pro.
So ask your friend which tool he had used to flash the firmware.
BTW, why do you want to fallback to the older firmware? May be you notice some differences between XME and MM1 roms?

Hi..he said he never rooted the phone, he just flashed the MM1 rom because he wanted a newer rom on the phone. To be honest, I don't really know why I want to go back to the XME rom.. maybe because that was the original rom that the phone came with and I want the phone to be in it's original state again?
Plus.. when I connect to Kies, it says something about my phone not being supported for firmware updates.. and my csc is still XME and not MM1 which is the Singaporean Rom. I guess I just want my phone to go back to XME so that I can use firmware update on Kies..
Ok so you need to wait until XME has at least ML2 version and flash. No other choice.
IMO, from the point of usage, there is no major difference between XME and MM1 release. Btw, MM1 always has the newest firmware than XME.

MK/ML can downgrade to MJ7 - for whatever reason Samsung allowed it, assume it is because they closed whatever security loop and have deemed MJ7 the safest bootloader to fall back to.

so i can flash 02uk mj7 over btu mk2 without any issues?
the battery drain on mk2 btu is horrible, and im guessin 02 wouldnt release firmware without testing it properly
By the way, I was able to flash XSI Mj7 over SER MK2. I did it by wiping system partition in TWRP, after which flashing went through with no issue

Yeah I was able to do it.. no wipe, no factory reset.. I just flashed it with odin, and all my files/settings are still there! Some people commented here that it was not possible but for some reason it worked.. I just thought that if I encounter any bootloops I'll just flash the MM1 Rom again.. luckily I didn't have to. :laugh:
hey guys ive been told you cannot go back to older firmwares (dunno whether that counts branded ones like 02)
but is there any way around it? surely there must be a way?
im guessing seen as 02 had there hands on the software for so long they managed to fix the battery drain...
cheers

Firmware OTA updates depends on region. Like in US it 1st releases and after few time in other countries one by one due to localization. Also it depends on career those have taken locked version under contract, like Verizon released the 4.4 in May where I got it many month back, even another latest firmware update recently.
So check google news, for your region or check other phones in your region. If they provides you will definitely get it. If others got it then contact Samsung.

Mine is BTU. I flashed so many region alrd : DBT, XSI, SIN and BTU itself.
All run well.
Since I m flashing with odin, I don't really care abt region.
Worst case (if happen, so far never), just flash csc of ur own region.

Yes mate. Pain in the ass when u wipe to clean.
OTA got bad habit. Happened. To 2 of my friends already. They do OTA, enjoying it with data still intact. One day, all of sudden phone freeze, reboot, auto wipe. Puff, all gone.
Another one more also same. Freeze, never reboot auto, just stay freezing, phone very hot, unplug battery, boot and stuck at Samsung logo. Finally factory reset as well. Both can't save their data.
This happened. To my friends who do OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.2 but dun want to wipe.

well,
you don't need to go back to the NC3 firmware if you just want to unroot it.
you can just flash back the original firmware ND3 that you have, the root will be gone
because, from my experienced, what you upgrade to ND series, hardly possible for you to downgrade to NC series, due to its bootloader.

for this stuff in Macedonia ? I have no idea
hehehe. but I only know, as long as warranty bit is untouch, binary bit is untouch, status is official, your warranty is valid in your respective country.
I've got the following identifiers for my phone:
AP: I9505XXUEND1
CP: I9505XXUEND1
CSC: I9505TELENC1
I've moved from Australia (Telstra) to the US (AT&T). I'm on Jellybean, and rooted so that I could do backups with Titanium Backup. I've started to have stability issues where SystemUI crashes occasionally, and at a rate of about once daily. I haven't been able to identify the cause of the problem. Seems like aLogger only shows me logs when I start it up, which I usually only do after a crash.
I'm considering making a move to KitKat. However, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade out there for me. I don't see one for either Australia or US. Anyone know if there's an appropriate one for me? And while I'm at it, should I consider changing my baseband from the Telstra one to an AT&T one?
Thanks for your advice.

That is the latest firmware for the I9505 ....BUT is not possible to root with towelroot to avoid knox warranty bit tripping ( you have to re root after flashing with odin)
you could flash something a little bit older like , so you can root

Regarding the frequencies not 100% sure , AT&T has some frequencies that the I9505 does not work with so it may depends on the specific frequency in where you are at check this:
