Hey guys
I live in the UK but I just bought my note 3 last week from Abu Dhabi whilst on holiday. The problem is when I try install some of the apps/games it says they are not available in my country (as it's not a UK handset). My question is, is there a way of re flashing the UK firmware over my current one?

Errr.. I wouldn't pay £499 for a N7100....
I have N7105ZHALJ4 where is my multiscreen?
Does the Build Number say anything about where the phone came from?
I bought mine from Mobicity.co.nz who ship from Hong Kong so assume the phone was also built/set for there.
Does this mean I have to wait for Samsung to bring the update for the N7105 to HK or as I am now using it in New Zealand, on a NZ Vodafone network do I need to wait for some sort of NZ update
Think I've attached an image of all settings if this can assist in answering my questions.
Thanks heaps, and hey Bloody good phone purchase from you all.

You have the Hong Kong version. The build shown is what i had before the update. Just run the update in the phone settings menu and the ota update should show. If it doesn't just connect your phone to kies on your computer and the update can be done there. You don't need to wait for Nz update as your phones firmware is not for that region.

Takes a bit longer with the factory reset after selecting the EVR csc, but I like to play and I'm a bit of a flashoholic anyway lol

Not sure which is best for updates. I unbranded mine from 3, but with all the root issues I'm staying stock btu until the new root methods are well established and tested. The updates will come to sim free phones soon enough.
AFAIK Netherlands or any others are fine to flash, I prefer to keep to btu myself.

Yep used to be. I heard that the carriers may have a deal with Samsung these days to get theirs first, maybe to encourage contract buying?
I guess the success of the Galaxy S range of phones has made carriers see that IPhones aren't the smartphone everyone wants now. Money is most likely the reason

Well if you actually ask a question rather than just saying "what will happen if i flash android 4.4.2 from Spain for Vodafone ??"
To put it straight, you'll have Vodafone's 4.4.2 firmware on your device. It's no different to any other Kitkat except carrier bloatware.
I meant as will it cause a problem as im not on Vodafone carrier!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Potentially yes. Depends what they have baked into it,could just be Vodafone network, messed up CSC and security etc etc. But then again, probably not.
Word of advice though, seems like Carrier firmwares aren't flashing for people and they seem to work OTA only. The normal XEO Polish ROM works fine for everyone bar HK users.
Thank you, I got my answer.

Carrier firmware is also a lot trickier and might only contain the APNs for themselves and not all the carriers.
Also XEO is known to also have problems on Nordic EU N9005.
Yes I guess you are right @xclub_101 this polish version of kitkat cause me some strange problems and makes my phone restart suddenly when its on standby!!!!!
when I got my phone it was set on French , do you think I should download a firmware for France??
I mean as maybe firmwares for this country be compatible with my phone.

You could try a French frimware and see.
