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!

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.

Modem: I9505XXUAMDD
CSC: I9505O2UAMD6

Im not 100% sure what the UK Stock is but can anyone guide me please,
You need to download the BTU ROM from http://www.hotfile.com/dl/209462137/82c78b1/I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_BTU.zip.html
And flash it with Odin

It includes a new CSC so it should change as well. Its the lastest ROM ATM so installing over what you have now should be straightforward. No resets etc required

Mine is now set to btu, I rebooted again after reloading from the factory reset and it changed in recovery. Kies now sees it as an upgradable firmware and im running the latest rom, which feels smoother. No problems so far

Yes mate. That's all I did. AFAIK it doesn't void your warranty unless you root/use custom rom. I'm not sure if Samsung would even know if it was originally branded.
I'm waiting for chainfire to get back from his hols, once he's got Cf auto root sorted on MDM ROM I'll prob root then.
I only got mine from 3 as they were cheapest for sim free in stock. I refused to pay the 599 Argos and phones 4 u wanted. I had hoped they were still sending unbranded + unlocked but never mind.

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

I'm in singapore, own an europe version of N9005. I flashed singapore baseband, europe baseband, any band also can.
As long as stock firmware, very less possibilities to softbrick/hardbrick your device.

Avoid messing with the modem/bootloader by flashing the Stock firmware.
That should be fine.
You misunderstand my question... I will keep being on custom roms, that will never change
I was asking which stock firmware and modem was for Denmark. As I have seen, different firmwares were out for different countries. I am just seeking the one for my country
