My phone went off for repair, and now that Ive got it back its got Three UK branded firmware on it!
Rather than waiting two weeks for it to be sent back, I want to change the firmware myself.
I now have:
AP: N9005XXUDMJ6
CP: N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC: N9005H3GDMJ2
Bootloader N9005XXUDMJ6
I did have:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CP: N9005XXUBMI6
CSC: N9005OXXBMJ1
I know I cant go back to the MJ1 build (I wish I could), but I do want to go back to a stock UK CSC (I know OXX is a stock Cyprus CSC).

Make sure the phone you've received after repairing is the one you've had before.
If it is them same phone I think you can flash your original firmware, including AP, CP and CSC.

- Your Knos is still 0x0?
- I didnt mean you can flash MJ1 over current MJ6. However you can flash MJ7 and higher (original firmware, with original region). I'm not sure if you can keep Knox at 0x0.

How does the Knox flag behave in case of downgrading FW? I have N9005 and would like to upgrade FW to latest unbranded FW with Odin. What happens if I want to downgrade to older version of FW (all including knox)? My carrier unfortunately seldomly updates FW but I will need to downgrade in case of warranty need... Currently I run AP: XXUBMJ1 and CSC: MOTBMJ1. Would downgrade trip Knox flage?
Who knows?

To flash cross regional fimrware you need to change you CSC code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491877
Also if you flash MJ3 build then your bootloader will be upgraded and you have to stay will MJ3 firmware, you cant then downgrade back to MJ1 firmware

any luck anyone? still getin ext4 error
I want to know this as well. I have Malaysian fw on my phone but I want to switch to BTU. According to what I have read this should work because my current region is XX, however I have seen way too many people getting this ext4 error for me to try it.
Can someone give a definitive answer? I am on MJ3 with a region of XX. Thanks!

Flashed MJ6 onto my malaysian Note 3 successfully, though once there haven't been able to change my CSC since... Also MJ6 has the new bootloaders and I now have warranty void 0x1...
My CSC code was XME, now BTU....

How did you flash it to void warranty?
sorry to hijack
but what does BTU stand for?
and what's the two letters before MJ7?
like UBMJ7, what's UB?

CSC code for UK (no carrier) = BTU.
Revision of Android - MJ7, latest version released as of yet...
Not sure about the rest but it appears regional...
Flashed it after running through RDLV but had issues with WIFI and sd card... Flashed extracted modem from MJ6 rom, this sent me into a bootloop. Flashed stock MJ6 rom onto phone and fixed the bootloop but put new bootloaders on. At this point warranty void was 0x0. Tried Kingoapp to root hoping it wouldn't trip counter, it did...
New bootloaders are a mongrel....

Stay away from Kingo/vroot, xda has removed all links and closed the thread. It's full of malware / spyware and will send all personal details to a Chinese Web server.

just changed my firmware from xme to btu
just follow these from the s4 forum by kaushalls but use odin 3.04 and be patient it may fail for two time but will eventually will do it and run odin in normal mode not administrator mode
Make sure you take a backup via Kies if you need personal files
Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com or see thread on Stock Roms on XDA
Extract zip to get tar.md5
Put device into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)
Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery
Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via back up and reset option
Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device
and restart (go into recovery and see the csc btu being applied if yes then stop here,do factory reset and restart)
after this the next steps are optional
Boot device back into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power)
Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin
Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA
check csc by going to stock recoverry it will show manual mode at the bottom and then show btu csc applied

Hi guys,
As you know I'm fairly new here. I just want to ask if (as far as I've read) based on this POST http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850, I'm running a Baseband Version of N9005XXUDMJ7. It says here that if I root, I will trip Knox but I won't be upgrading. Just rooting. If I continue with this process will I trip Knox?

You are altering system files, you will trip Knox... Doesn't matter that you're not changing rom.
If you were, as long as it was a stock firmware and the right bootloader, you wouldn't trip Knox...

What do you a stock firmware? I would get my firmware from sammobile. So what you're saying is that if I just root I'll trip Knox. But if I change my rom I won't?
So I should just follow the video on RDLV?
Sorry. Running a celeron processor of a brain here. -_-

De la Vega says: "If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!"
Your firmware is MJ7 so you will trip Knox.
As you are on MJ7 it would be easier to just flash cf-autoroot... You will trip knox but easier to use.
You would trip Knox anyway and there's more steps using URDLV...
On the other hand if you want a different region rom on your Note 3 then you can pretty much just pick and flash a stock rom (as long as the new bootloader is in it) with no fear of tripping Knox....
Just don't think you can go back to MI7 or MJ1 to use URDLV to root without tripping Knox as they have the old bootloader that will see you boot looping until you reflash a newer version of stock rom with the new bootloader.
I currently own a SM-N9905 from the Philippines that is currently locked to a carrier.
Baseband: N9005XXUDMJ7
PDA: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005OLBDMJ2
1. Can I change the CSC to another region so I can update to 4.4.2?
2. Will Knox 0x0 be tripped if I do so?
3. (a longshot question) If I manage to change the CSC will the phone be unlocked?
You must look here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666907
And the answer is yes.You will trip knox for changing CSC you need root.Root will trip knox.

To try about CSC's, I have flashed the Singapore XSP but it have the XTC from Philippines by default. May be a Samsung error.
If You flash this Rom by Odin3 v3.09 You stay whit Your XTC, not need change CSC. And the flag continue 0x0.
When we say phone locked or unlocked is only about Sim card from Your carrier. You can't use the Sim from another carrier. Like my Note3 is locked to TMN. But I and You can flash what we want, Rom's, Bootloaders, Modem,s, CSC's, etc.
Make Full wipe data + cache on recovery. If You not have one customer recovery (that trip the flag to 0x1) You make this whit stock recovery, but in this case Your internal Sdcard must be wiped also. Save it to External or to Pc before.
Flash this Rom is HERE.
Singapore XSP (but XTC by default) => XXUENB4_ OLBENA3_XXUENB1
OLB = Multi-CSC 10 csc's on Post #5 from that thread.
PS: In this case You not need the link from post before.

You are trying to downgrade from FNG2 to END3 firmware and it is not possible.
That may brick your device
i reflash with N9005XXUFNG2_N9005ATOFNG1_N9005XXUFNG2_HOME.tar.md5 then sound back to work, also during flashing system there was no "invalid ..."
after this i made update via phone menu (intenet+wifi) to latest N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5 but knox 0x1 stayed
then i made root:
flash odin >> KERNEL_N9005XXUEND3.tar.md5 (got custom status) << then use towelroot than flash back to KERNEL_N9005XXUGNG1.tar.md5 and status changed to official .... but knox 0x1 still there...
