You can select keyboard languages in keyboard settings.
For NFC - flash both modems by odin, or first flash stock firmware, then this one.
Currently impossible to flash mdem & nfc modem by CWM
great thanks!

Removed because
Exactly same ROM posted by another user.
I've made real custom ROM with many tweaks and enhancements.
Firstly some details....
Galaxy was rooted but was still stock ROM. The ONLY change I did was install Adaway - nothing else
Anyway, I used Kies v2.x today (25/11/13) to backup my phone - when I started it up it said there was a new firmware update. I did a backup & then like a idiot - I decided to accept it.....
... everything seemed to go OK... it installed, rebooted etc etc & when I checked all the apps still worked, home screen OK etc etc.
I then decided to do a bit of Browsing - so dragged down the notification bar & tapped the Wifi.... It didn't turn on.
It moves over to ON - then moves straight back to 'off'
Instead I get a silver shield pop up, & a 'Security notice' stating - 'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required'
Long tap on this brings up a [App info] box & tapping this shows 'Knox notification manager'
Tried googling this & I find it's part of Samsung 'security', so started trying to find how to fix/bypass/stop it from blocking me from turning on my Wifi
Some suggestions were ..Softreset,reset data/cache, pull battery - even hard reset... nothing worked (couldn't 'freeze' the app(s) as Titanium need to be brought for that feature)
Now I thought I'll just restore the backup I did for contacts etc, so I can at least use it as a phone & hope that Samsung DID **** up with the firmware & a new firmware will fix it
- but re-starting Keis & it tell me v2 is not compatible with my phone & I have to use V3, so I downloaded/Upgraded it & it sees the phone, but trying to restore the backup & it fails
I checked my 'rom' counter & that's is set to 0 & device status shows 'samsung' - however doing a 'update check' (from within phone) states my phone is 'modified' (I guess it's sees SuperSU or the modified host file)
I managed to restore my contacts using GPRS (but it cost me a package as I'm on PAYG), but why cant I get my Wifi to turn on ??
Without that I can't restore any apps (easily)... or update or do anything
Is it a cockup by Samsung with their firmware update ??
Is it this dam 'Knox' thing..??
Is it because of the 'altered Host' file from adaway ??
Is it because it was 'rooted' ??
I've seen posts about restoring the stock firmware, which directs me to Sam's webpage - but the only GT-i9505 I found there for a UK unlocked/unbranded phone is a GT-i9505 LTE (I guess I should use the BTU & not Branded ones) which I'm pretty sure isn't mine (I may be wrong) & apparently I have to sign up to download it anyway
Has anyone else had this problem ??
What can I do to fix it ??
Can anyone help ??
I've only had this phone for a couple of days & I hate to think it's been buggered up by Samsung Firmware Update
I'm not being funny but if you use the search feature in the Q&A section there are loads of threads to do with WiFi not working and multiple solutions. Its hit and miss which solutions work and which don't, so go through them and come back when they haven't worked.

however looking at 2nd post & there's a link to WiFifix where there are many files, which I am unsure which one to use.
Kies 3 tell me I have PDA:MK8 / Phone:MH8 / CSC:MK5 (BTU) & there a MK8 AND a MH8 file there - so which one do I use ? (BTW, I updated the firmware originally using Keis so I don't think the WiFi fix is really relevant, but reflashing the ROM with Odin MAY be useful to know.. if only I know WHICH rom to use) I won't be able to use keis since v3 tells me that 'Your device current firmware is not supported to update via Kies'

There is a massive problem with the updates lately, Samsung have pulled almost all of the 4.3 updates in UK and US from what I've read.
I think you can install a 4.2.2 version but that won't get rid of KNOX, people are still trying to work out a way of getting rid of it.

Thanks for replying & yes I know that many things I've said do sort of confirm what I think may be the right ROMs etc..
But I would like to be ABSOLUTELY sure I use the right one. Many posts say you can seriously brick your phone using the wrong files
> I guess the modem files are somewhere in the forums on Sammobile then ??.. I never look that hard there
> In download mode - the text in the corner is so small I can barely read it.. guess I have to get a magnifying glass to see that
> Had a derpy moment about the download via PC & transfer over.. & as said I would still need a paid version of Titanium to freeze apps.
Yes I could google & download from suspicious sites (there's no way to get it from Play store for example) but that's one thing I REALLY hate doing - you never know whats been added
The bit I mentioned about 'modem' - Can you get 'stock' roms with different modem files ?
.. I know you can get customized roms of stock . but worried that using the wrong file can seriously brick your phone
All I wanted to know is how do I find out what Modem is installed atm on my phone to check its the same as in the ROM download
About the downgrading/unrooting - Yes I know it won't get rid of Knox, but at least I could switch on my WiFi with (one of) the previous 4.2.2 version (whatever one I had before). Even reverting to a working unrooted older ROM would be better than no WiFi at all (especially if I have to send the phone back to Samsung service for example)
As for the Sammobile details & my phone details, I was a little concerned with the differences shown between them
For example: I updated my Firmware yesterday (25th) & my phone shows Baseband version : I9505XXUDMH8
There's no 'UDMH8' shown in the latest rom on Sam's: only PDA (UEMK8) ,CSC (UEMK5) or Modem (UEMK8)
Although there IS a 'UEMK8' under my phones Build Number: JSS15J.I9505XXUEMK8
(& I always thought 'E' came after 'D' so if the latest sam rom came out on 22nd & I updated later than that .. why didn't I get the 'E' instead of the 'D' ?)
Also there is no 'UEMK5' shown under My Phone details (that I can find). Since there's no '5' in my phone details I was (once again) worried that using the wrong file would brick the phone
- Can I assume then that 'PDA' shown by Keis is the same as the last part of 'Build' ?? & as long as they are the same then the ROM's the same & is safe to use ??
- What do the CSC (UEMK5) and MODEM (UEMK8) numbers refer to then ?? & should I be worried if they are different than what (may be) on my phone
Oh - one last thing IS my GT-I9505 phone the same as a GT-I9501 LTE ??? - I thought there was a difference between a 'normal' and a 'LTE' phone (just not sure what)
Thanks again for taking the time in answering my (stupid) questions.For a newbie, this type of thing can be a bit nerve wracking.. I would hate to see a expensive phone being totally bricked
EDIT : just found out about *#1234#.. STILL not sure what these refer to (compared to Keis) but at least I now see a CSC, & there's a 'UEMK5' and 'UEMK8' there - what the hell is CP - boy is THIS confusing

Hello!
I have a quick question, I was searching around the web but still can't find how to identify the original ROM pre installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I know that my device was made in Canada because is the version SM N900W8. And I had installed a ROM that I downloaded from sammobile.(Information added in the attachment), I upgrade it manually to the Android Version 4.4.3 and didn't save the information of the original one and at this very moment I'm having an issue with the "Android: GPS - Continuous Scanning or Unable to Fix/Lock Location". I tried solutions as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612757 but as far as I know this is related directly with the ROM that I had currently installed. I tried searching with the IMEI on http://www.imei.info/ and http://swappa.com/ but nothing related directly with the original ROM. Probably I'm missing some information regardless with the carrier that was made for, I'm currently located in Bogotá, Colombia.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and check for the 'Original CSC Code' in the CSC INFO section.
If that doesn't help, I will show you another solution.

Thank you so much for the reply. Great application +5 recommended. But it only shows me the information that I currently have installed (Trinidad y Tobago ROM) [Information Attached]- It had pre installed some ROM for a Canadian carrier, but for mistake I didn't save the information of it. What is the alternative method to double check what was the original one?
What you want, definitely can't be seen.
You can only see the version of the current installed rom.
Sent from my N9005
Well, I work for HTC and in the tool that we use here. That is possible, it shows you all the information about the device. Baseband, rom version, date of installation, kernel source, lenght of download OTA. I tried to contact Samsung with out any good response for security policies.

It depends on how you installed the rom. Sometimes the Original CSC remains and can be obtained with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
Ok try another way: install Kies, connect your phone to PC, go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, enter your Model name, then S/N. Kies will show you original firmware information.
Thank you! Question Resolved.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this. That was the information that I was looking for, now I know that my device is not from Canada, it was TELCEL Mexico, by the way is the same variant of the note 3 on Canada. :fingers-crossed::good: Now I hope I can fix the glitch with the GPS. (with the original ROM). I'm hoping now if the SIM unlock will remain if I do the forware upgrade and initialization from Kies.
phone info app
best way to know is install Phone Info App from playstore....it will give you complete details
Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.
Your post is five years after question but more than that it does not apply to Note 3 .
Hey All,
I got a Note 3 N9005, which supposedly was purchased in UAE.
Currently trying to use it in India, but, the device always says "No Service", with a crossed circle instead of network signal icon on notification bar.
Phone is on 4.2.2 with UGNH1. Below are some observations:
- Phone does NOT ask for any PIN / Unlock Code.
- In Settings > Status.. irrespective of any SIM, or no SIM.. Mobile Network Type = Unknown, Service State= Out of service, Mobile Network State=Disconnected.
- Orig CSC code is displayed as XTC from Phone Info App
- Tried to select a different CSC from CSC Select app.. it changed the boot logo but, network status.. still crossed circle
- IMEI is proper as printed below the battery
- Still i tried ChainFire's RegionLockAway. But, as expected, the method is only for MI7 / MJ1 / MJ3 JB versions. Sadly mine has already crossed and has A2 bootloader. So, no change was observed with CF RegionLockAway. Reverted the cahnges.
- Tried to flash MJ1 / MJ3 binaries from sammobile. As expected the latest bootloader won't allow to downgrade.
- Flashed Omega, but for no luck. Still no service and crossed circle icon.
- Flashed latest CyanogenMod. Though there was no Crossed Circle icon, there was an icon of network signal with zero network.
- Flashed official Lollipop verson to see if any changes.. no luck. Reverted back.
- Installed advanced network info app, network status, neighboring MSC, cells.. etc was shown as none.
No clue how to enable the device's network capabilities (all else like WiFi and other feature work as usual).
It will be a great help if you can guide me through! Please let me know if any other info is required.
Thanks a lot in advance. !!
Purchased in UAE doesn't necessarily it was a UAE phone. Phone Info Samsung from Play Store can tell you where it is from.
What I would do is...
Download the firmware from Sammobile to suit your phone. One fairly common issue is that Hong Kong or Chinese phones get sold into Europe or other markets and their PIT and other partitions are different. So first thing is to go back to scratch.
If you phone IS from where you think, make sure you have the stock firmware for that location and flash the latest version using Odin and Download mode.
Start Odin - v3.09 is best.
To enter DL mode for anything to do with BL or Modem you MUST turn phone off. It is best to remove the battery and wait a while, then put it in and use the Power On+Vol-Down+Home key to get into DL mode, then [plug phone into PC and wait for Odin to notice it is there.
(if Odin doesn't notice it, get the latest Samsung USB drivers for the phone and install them with phone unplugged, then plug in phone and Windows should give a pop-up)
Click on AP in Odin and navigate to where you saved the firmware - note you DL'd a zip but you need the md5 file so use 7zip to unpack the zip.
Click on the md5 file and wait for it to load into Odin.
* [Auto Reboot] and [F.Reset Time] should be the ONLY things ticked.
Click [Start] and wait.
Let phone restart and set it up with your details. Once done see if you have network.

I installed the "Phone Info Samsung" app as you mentioned and found the phone's CSC code is XTC! (= Philippines (Open Line))!!
Thanks for the hint. I will download the latest firmware from sammobile for n98005 for XTC and check. Will be back with updates in some time.

Update:
Flashed below 3 stock firmwares from sammobile, each time cleared cache and factory wipe.. still the crossed circle is hopelessly adamant and persistent.
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNH1
4.4.2 N9005XXUGNI4
4.3 N9005XXUDMJ7 (failed to flash, i guess due to current bootloader version A3)
I tried with Odin 3.09.3 & 3.10.6 & 3.07 .... same result.
Any suggestions? please share.. I'm ok to soft brick the phone Recovered from boot loop few times
Any further suggestions? Please share.. Shall i give a try with full wipe (/system/ folder wipe) with TWRP ? Or any other thing ?!
Tried a different sim card ??
Checked APN settings .
Checked you have modem/ baseband via settings .

They are old stock ROMs - how sure are you the phone wasn't updated to the new version of BL? I'm not sure if you're on the new version and then try to downgrade it, which version you will see in Phone Info but check it. There's also a phone # code to use that returns the basics for the phone, but I can't recall if you said you get calls or not and I'm heading for bed. Think the code is something like *#12334#* - google for secret smartphone codes.

Yea Journyman16, they seem to be still good old of 4.4.2. Latest must be 5.0. On samobile, for XTC i could see only till 4.4.2. Maybe for this phone version, there are no updates? Not sure.
And, yes, sadly BL is updated to A3. Which I could see in Recovery mode's REV line. (if it was A1, I could have flashed MI7 and tried RegionLockAway.. )
*#1234# gives the below info:

/system/csc/GLB/system/csc/customer.xml has a line:

<NbNetworkLock>0</NbNetworkLock>.. but as mentioned in it's details, the method is compatible only with MI7, MJ1, MJ3 firmwares and i'm on UGNH1 and unable to downgrade

I'd upgrade rather than try to get around the downgrade issues. What Region do you WANT to have? European ones seem to get early release of upgrades - e.g. many LP ROMs are based around the Polish release.
I don't know enough to interpret logs, but my thought would be to find a non-Philippines version (one of the Europe ones perhaps) and find a PIT file for that one. Then go read up on how to safely flash a new PIT. Then flash your preferred firmware and follow the root process etc.
I started with a HK version of S3 - every time I tried to flash a new ROM it failed and bricked my phone. Eventually I found that the PIT file on most Asian phones was different and I flashed PIT, then stock FW for the region I wanted then re-rooted and flashed the custom ROM.
Read many time, flash once, OK? I do not make bricks, nor need them, so I will not accept them delivered to my door...

There's a Euro PIT on the link at This Post - I checked and the dropbox is still valid. It's 4.4.2 so could be just what you need.
Now you probably want an India ROM but I haven't any links for that 0 there's a thread for India users though I think.
What I think might be happening is that different countries use different frequencies and formats for signal. It might be that India's set up simply doesn't work with the modem you've been using and the India ROM will not set up with the Asian PIT set up etc.
But read up on the process first, OK? The more you know about it the better chance you have to recover from anything going wrong.
Also, I presume from your OP that the phone NEVER worked once you got it? Do you know for a fact it worked prior to that? Maybe you're chasing solutions for a faulty hardware issue?

Hi Journyman16, thanks for the suggestions.. i tried the pit file you referred, but, still no luck. And, if i'm not wrong pit file is all about allocating ROM space for /system & /dbdata and has nothing to deal with the antenna/telephony module, please correct if i'm not right.
About the phone's status yea you're right. It never worked after i received it. But, it was working usually in UAE, as per the info i got. Maybe.. as you suspected.. it might be faulty hardware too.. I don't know.. just exploring the options.. to conclude something..

And, yes, sadly BL is updated to A3. Which I could see in Recovery mode's REV line. (if it was A1, I could have flashed MI7 and tried RegionLockAway.. )
*#1234# gives the below info:
AP: UGNH1
CP: UGNH1
CSC: BGNH1
Any heads up ?!

The only unbranded NH1's seem to be Greece or Netherlands. Netherlands has a 5.0 - maybe DL that and flash in Odin? Greece has a v5.0 but it's branded with (EUR) so I don't know if that's a company or general... I'd go the Netherlands one.
Other than that, I'm not sure - might be time to get the phone checked properly?
Finally.. could trace the root cause.. antenna / receiver chip malfunction. So, it was an hardware issue that had to be replaced at a cost at service center.
Summary: If network icon is crossed circle, its not a good sign !! Thanks

I have seen many users still have no proper information about upgrading SM-N920C/CD (Galaxy Note 5 and Dual Sim) so i thought i'd write up a simple guide for it.
at the time of writing, Marshmallow Firmwares is only available for CAM and MID CSC Variants, so if you don't mind flashing your lollipop with these firmwares (don't worry you can change it later when your real CSC firmware is released), follow these steps or just walk away

Steps:
1. Get Odin and Extract Odin ZIP file
2. Get Marshmallow Rom [ CAM ] [ MID ]
3. Enable Developers Option and turn on OEM Unlock from the Developer Options.
4. Reboot to Download Mode by first turning off the phone and then holding volume down + home + power key combo
5. Start Odin and Connect your phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin, then Select the Firmware by clicking the AP button and wait for few minutes to let it load the 4gb file after its finished loading, Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked, Click start and wait for your device to reboot.
Known Issues:
1 if you flash CAM csc firmware, you'll have S health restrictions, on older version there was a bypass by using xposed module but nothing yet for 6.0.1
Thnx

no, it uses a different bootloader than the 920C
#Ather.. one question .. why turning on Oem unlock ?? I read somewhere on forum that it is only when rooting device .. correct me if i'm wrong .
I flashed mine without turning on OEM unlock.

the firmwares linked in the OP are 1 part file, so no you won't be loosing any data on your internal storage (Pictures, music etc) BUT its safe to take a backup!
Hi,
is it possible to downgrade back to 5.1.1? I installed marshmallow from another thread, but in case i`d want to sell the phone, german language would be required, which isn`t there now after the update.

It was the cambodian rom i think from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/guide-update-note-5-sm-n920c-to-android-t3317984
What does MID mean? Could you send me the link for the firmware? I`ve also lost some features in the S-Health app after the update - Stress and SpO2 measuring is gone...Thanks for the answer by the way

CAM = Cambodian Formware
MID = Middle eastern firmware (multi CSC, incls PAK, KSA, XSG etc)
what you need to do is get the latest XSG firmware from here : https://mega.nz/#!IREXRaLb!e_Jj4c3WLSLjnw9YZBFXxsyaoAuFGXTXA4r6vI-cUSQ
regarding your s health features, Samsung does not have propper medical license to allow spo2 and other tests done so thats why its limited to only HRM in the CAM firmware, flash any other ROM like MID or XSG and it'll work fine
PS. make sure you backup your data first!
I will use the Note N920C in UK, what Firmware should I use? XSG? XFE?
I received this update today via OTA.

I've only seen Cambodians, Rest of the gcc are same as XSG since its a multi csc rom, it just displays different names and configures carrier apns per country
