[Q] Upgrading the firmware for a different country

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.

I had the same question and need to know what's new in this May update N5100XXDNE2. Thanks

Checked sammobile and its there. Whats new in this update and has anyone updated??

New firmware
Seeing that nobody seems to answer, I'll ask another question. I've downloaded the new firmware twice from sammobile and both were corrupted.
I see there's a newer firmware from United Arab Emirates, can i flash that version over my current polish one without any issues from knox?

You can download it from samsung-updates.com
I am using Poland DNE2. I didn't try the April version, but current DNE2 is OK so far. Except for occasional freezes while switching wifi status, everything runs smoothly.

Just updated mine from DND8 to DNE2 using Odin. To my surprise, it doesn't clear my data.
All apps and settings still intact.

What about the Nordic Countries? Can this be flashed on those devices?

S-Pen Offset
Can anybody confirm if the S-pen offset issue has been fixed?

Confirm

Hi,
I installed N5100XXDNE2 version on Friday. I didn't found any updates in software or differences between DND8 and DNE2.
For me this version fixed stability issues. In DND8 I had problem with crashing the applications (e.g. S-Note) and also sometimes rebooting. DNE2 I found out more stable but this is only few days experience.
S-pen offset issue has not been fixed It is funny because if I am using S-Note to write text then cursor is on right place and there is no any offset. But when I am writing something in gmail than there is so big offset between cursor and S-Pen.
If you have any other question regarding DNE2 version I can check it.

How is performance and battery life? How about the SD card issues? I'm still on 4.1.2 never got any updates on my CSC(XFA) so I'm going to flash one from a different country but would just like some more feedback.

You will get OTA if you have returned to factory settings after flashing. Your knox value should also be 0x0 and your ROM should be stock.

Thanks for info, i factory reset after flash, also knox is 0x0,
I asked because many people in my situation not received ota update after it release 5.1.1. When they are already on Poland firmware with 5.0.1.

That's interesting. Once, I had to factory reset twice to get the proper CSC but the photo looks it is already correct. Maybe Samsung distributes the OTAs in waves to balance server load.

No looks like Samsung lock the product code, in note3 & previous all models, once we flash rom of other regions it will change everything including products code...

So no solutions to keep Poland rom ota update?

Any work around, without root?
Thanks in advance
