Hi everybody!
As you can see, I'm new to this forum. I apologize in advance if my english is bad, I'll try to explain my doubt.
My question is the following:
I have this tab from a week or so, already rooted, with CWM and Mobile Odin. The stock firmware is TGY, so it's of Hong Kong.
Is it possible to flash with Mobile Odin a european firmware on the device or this will cause problems to the tab?
I've searched for this in the forum already, maybe I have not used the right key words, but I haven't found the answer to this.
Thanks in advance!

Just read my sticky thread -> post 5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21930173 there is also a short history
But basically you can flash every official released Firmware for this device.

Ok, so from what I've read, if I want to completely change the csc I have to flash the firmware with the csc I want and then enter recovery after a factory reset. It should automatically starts an update and it will ask me to confirm to change the csc into the one of the flashed firmware.
If I don't mind of Kies (which is my case ), I just flash the european firmware over the one I have now. I've read that you wanted to change your csc in ATO and at the beginning you simply flashed the austrian firmware over the TGY one and apart for the Kies autentication problem, you didn't have any other troubles.
Correct me if I am wrong, anyway I've thanked you for your reply. I ask you this because I know the basics for flashing and so, but I still consider me a newbie and I don't want to brick my beloved device with wrong country firmwares.

You dont brick your device if you flash only a official Firmware right and yes there will be not any other troubles if you flash the Firmware like in the guide explained
Happy flashing ^^

Perfect, that was I wanted to know. Luckily I have already experience with mobile odin since I use it on my Note, and I use only official firmware.
Thanks again for your kindness and for being so clear! ^^

Stay with the BTU ones, the ones from Carrier get updated very very slowly. Even my Carrier didn't receive 3 รก 4 updates for i9505.
Ok, but my point being that the carrier ones have received 2/3 updates in the time since my last one, my last one being April...

the latest firmware for T-mobile (EE) is ME2 http://www.hotfile.com/dl/223630332/b11f79b/I9505XXUAME2_I9505EVRAMDB_EVR.zip.html but for the unbranded BTU is MDM (older)
you can flash any new unbranded firmware MEA or MF8

Of course it works, unless your planning to root.
hmmm, i'm in exactly the same situation. how does flashing work on this phone? do i need to unlock bootloader or anything like that? i don't want to mess about the unlocking things or rooting, i want totally stock though :\

Thanks samersh72, flashed the ME2 stock, all working here.
Ive rooted my SGS5 GT-I9505, un-installed some preinstalled app but now when I try to do an OTA it gives me the error: Your Device is modified, no software update available, Someone answered my question abut it and it seems that I need to install Unroot my phone. Base on the artice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 it says that I need to Flash Carrier Network, My question is do you have stock firmaware for my carrier. Im using Globe (Philippines). How do I do that? Thanks.
Hey guys, quick question.
1) Are there other roms currently available for the N9005 that are not stock based? (Something closer to stock like CM)
2) If not, where can I get the original rom from Samsung (north america based) without any modifications?
I installed the echo rom and it won't recognize my handwriting and it keeps trying to do mandarin(?). I have changed the all the setting and still get that language, also, in my magazine, all I get is the Asian version of the news even though I set it for the USA.

You can get stock rom here www.sammobile.com
Hi,
The links to download the stock rom on Sammobile are unavaible because Hotfile is closed to copyright violation.

Hello to all, I have a UK/BTU Note 3 and the kitkat update has not been out yet. I was wondering if I should update my phone with another country official firmware but I am not sure.
What are the cons of doing it?
Will I be able to have OTA updates after or I must download and flash updates myself?
Are there any other pros except that I will not have to wait more for the update? Are the firmware for some countries better than others? I heard that Poland's firmware is working better than any other?
Thank you very much

U will get update threw OTA only from country u flash, if u want to come back to BTU u must flash threw Odin, u waited for long & today branded UK firmware start seeding so it should not tack much longer time for BTU now, yes poland firmware is the one getting flash without issues of size & its stable also.

Thank you for clarifying it! if I remember correctly, 2 months ago on sammobile forums someone told me that I could not get OTA updates If I flash a different country firmware.
Are you sure I will be able to do it?
Maybe I will flash the polish firmware if I get Poland's OTA's because as I know Poland is always getting the updates first.
So it would be better for the future to get the updates without waiting so long...
Also as I see on sammobile there are two 4.4.2 firmware for Poland. Which one should I choose? (tried, but I cannot post links yet as I am new to the forum, sorry)
I Am 99% sure but I will ask anyway, flashing official Samsung firmware does not void my guaranty, am I correct?
My mobile is from uae, I flash first A6 Poland firmware at launch after that received ota of poland latest B3, My knox is 0x0, I hop I answered your questions, feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

Thank you again, you answered all my questions.
Only one left! should I download and flash the B3 or the A6 first?
U can flash directly B3, but for best results clear data & catch before & after flash.
