Hello,
i recently bought an Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 in Germany and found out that it is a Baltic model with the XXUFNC4 Firmware installed.
Can i install the official German XXUGNF1 Firmware on this model with Odin?
Sorry if i missed something but im totally new to Samsung devices
Thanks in advance
Sure u can. As long as the firmware is for I9505.
Mine was a Vodafone Austrailia model which does not have a 4.4.2 update, so i updates mine using ODIN using firmware of the Baltic region.

Yes, you can but you will lose the ability of update ur phone via OTA or Kies 3.
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?
Is it alright to install the Romanian Lollipop firmware with CSC ROM with an unlocked international SM-N9005?
If not what other official lollipop firmware can be installed other than the one from Poland with CSC XEO?

Yep, you can flash Romanian Lollipop firmware or other that will be not branded. The unique is that you don't gonna receive OTA updates.
Will it break OTA and Kies firmware recognition and updates after flashing from a stock German Vodafone carrier rom G900FXXU1BNL9 to UK unbranded G900FXXU1BOD3?
I've had that issue with an S1 before, but it didn't really matter as it was out of warranty.
EDIT: I think I have a semi answer if I change the CSC via the rom as I did with my S1 it disables OTA and Kies, but is it fully restored when the original CSC is restored?
hi people
long time no speak need some help..
when i brought my note 4 (back on 4.4.4) it was a branded 3 phone and after the second day of owning it i flashed it to a official samsung 4.4.4 to get rid of the "3" branding.. anyway after the lolipop update came out my phone never asked me to update and always stated it was on the newest firmware (even up to today)
so i installed the 5.1.1 lolipop update via odin and the "3" branded stuff came back.. does anyone know where i can download a official UK unbranded 5.1.1 don't like all the branded bits
thanks in advance (im pretty sure i downloaded the unbranded firmware)
anyways any help will be appreciated

Currently there is no official UK unbranded 5.1.1 firmware, there is only Vodafone and Three branded firmware.
You will have to either wait for the firmware to be released or flash repackaged firmware which will install unbranded firmware and keep your current CSC.
