Unlocked I9500 Updates

I bought an unlocked I9500 in a duty free airport. Will I be able to receive updates wherever I am? Or do I need to download the one specific for the country I am at the moment to get updates.

are u using google translate to post in here? well..it's hard to understand what u want..
because u already rooted, u can't update via ota..download the update manually and then flash via odin..to update ur firmware, just downlaod the N910F one and there is no international firmware..
or maybe u can ignore the update and wait for android 5.0 later

as far as i know it should be fine, because usually they all have the same firmware. but if u're afraid, maybe wait someone who also have N910F to reply later.
or like i said, just wait for 1-2 months for android 5.0
these update basically not that important though

Bro, you can Unlock unofficially bootloader & flash TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
And you can update stock ROM while keeping Magisk & TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...to/rom-update-stock-firmware-keeping-t3808269
Both threads are tested and working on most of the device include mine.
Gud luck.
