I think it doesn't matter as I installed the firmware 4.2.2 from Bangladesh and I live in Egypt and was working fine.

[Q] Does the KitKat 4.4.2 update for the Note 3 SM-N9005 restricted to regions ?

Hi all,
I have the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, currenty running android 4.3, and I am waiting eagerly for the KitKat 4.4.2 update, but I'm afraid that because this specific model is not officialy sold im my country (Israel) and I bought it from abroad, that maybe the KitKat update will not reach my phone here in Israel.
Can someone please tell me if the official Samsung KitKat 4.4.2 update for this model (SM-N9005) is not region restricted, e.g. it has nothing to do with regions, and my phone will be updates via kies anyway ?

You Note will update from the Region that it was bought from, via OTA -- So if you got it from say, Germany, you'll receive German OTA update when it rolls out, same for X Y Z country.
I just did this and flashed the mexican CSC and locked my phone. I think if you keep the right CSC you'll be fine
Thanks

It is better to stay with JB 4.1.2. The new update, 4.2.2 looks more appealing.. But it is the flop update i had ever seen.. Battery backup decreases like hell.. phone becomes laggy... Better to stay with stock 4.1.2. If u need a change.. Flash some custom ROMs
Sent From GT-I9082 with RR v5.0.2

[Q] Upgrade to 4.4.2 via odin with firmware with a different CSC code ..

Hi,
Via OTA and Kies there is still no upgradet 4.4.2 available ...
CSC code is MJ8 (BOG) --> Bouygues Télécom France.
My phone is an I9505 ... I suppose I can just use Odin to flash another 4.4.2 firmware for the I9505 with a different CSC code?
I used to do some modding with previous phones ... but so far I 've only been using a 'standard' S4. Thus therefore I would like to get confirmation from some people who have more experience with flashing S4 phones.
Better wait for OTA or KIES 3 update android 4.4.2. Your phone is branded to one company.

That's the point firmware is not yet available via OTA or KIES 3. The phone is most certainly branded ... it contained some french apps which I never use out-of-the-box. I don't care about loosing these apps.
Question is will I encounter problems when I flash with another french, british, dutch, ... firmware?
Personally I don't think so ... If you can only flash the original firmware then sites like sammobile.com which host all different original firmwares dont have a reason to exist?
Or am I wrong?

[Q] Lollipop update on S5

Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?

[Q] Which firmware should i flash

Hi,
I stay in India and own a Galaxy S4 I9505 device, but this device was not originally launched in India.
Now since the Official Lollipop update has been released for this model, I am wondering which firmware should I flash on my device (I mean which country's firmware should I pick?)
I know various touchwiz based Lollipop roms are already available for this device. But I want to flash the Stock Firmware coz I am facing an issue and I think flashing the original firmware will probably get me out of it!
Only preference for me is the English language... ?? Kindly help !
Thank you.
You can flash all of them. It doesn't matter.
Flash the firmware from your carrier and country.
