You can only get FOTA updates on unmodifed devices just now. The latest firmwares are available from from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com. Just flash whatever you like with Odin.

is there any way to "un-modify" and then flash, and they re-modify, or has that ship sailed and that's that?

As I understand it, the flash counter is still present albeit hidden in the Note 3.
According to the TriangleAway changelog, resetting it isn't possible and we already know that Knox warranty can't be reset (yet?).

Can anybody tell me if I can safely flash this latest firmware on my sim-locked Note 3 N9005? Just checked thr OTA and Kies and something tells me I need to wait for some time to get the update.

So long as the region is fine, it doesn't affect Sim-Lock - I'd just hang tight and let KIES do it's thang man, safer that way
Too bad then. Since I'm in Asia and that firmware belongs to Poland.

I don't think that there would be an official update to it because it doesn't even have a 4.3 update.

What does this mean ? Does this mean 5.1.1 is available for our sprint phones
No just to get us all ready for it
This is 5.0.1 and it allows us that we're stuck on OE1 to upgrade to the latest firmware

I have Kies. Says i already have latest firmware. I am, however, on a custom ROM. If i nandroid a backup of TWRP/rooted will i be able to upgrade still? Or should i probably just ODIN it?

I was on Rooted OB7, Kies told me OF5 was latest and updated me about 10 minutes ago. It took a long time to optimize the apps, (It did it 4 times!) and restarted at least 4 times after update. Things seem to be settling down now. The phone kept all my data, so if you can update using Kies you probably won't have to restore a backup. Also, the phone got real hot during the optimizing, you might want to take it out of any case you are using to keep it from overheating.

Does the TAR delete everything off your phone?

SM-T280NZKAXAC firmware help

So I had a collasal messup on my T280. I accidentally soft bricked it, and am in need of the Firmware. Asking the live help brought up absolutely no help.
So, does anyone have it? I've tried looking and so far have been unable to find it.

I'm assuming you're referring to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T280/
However, I can't find one that matches my model number, which is where my concern more or less comes from.
