[Q] How does the Build Number affect me?

Hi guys,
What I want to know is how does the Build Number affect me? Mine is JDQ39.i9505ZHUAME1 but other people have different build numbers. I know this is probably a stupid question but i'm asking it anyway.
Will this affect me in terms of loading custom ROMs?
Will the build number be changed when I install a custom ROM?
If it is changed will this affect my ability to use my carrier?
Thanks for the help

Build number may change with diffrnt roms as they myte be using different firmware as a base for roms
It won't affect ur phone in flashing any Rom as long as its for ur varaiant

If I reset my phone to stock firmware do I need to use the one for Hong Kong (jdq39.i9505zhuame1)? If I do, can someone link me to it?

Which region of Leaked 4.2.2? U can backup game data from helium app. This app is useful to backup data without root. So I don't have idea about 4.2.2 official.. May be its stable.. If u r using 4.2.2 Russian firmware so u cannot update Indian firmware through ota.. I think its better to flash via odin.. As I don't know about running tracker on triangle away.. I havent tried it..

i dunno which region of leaked version i downloaded from anindya mukherjee's video 'android 4.2.2 on samsung galaxy grand' in the description there ws a link to hotfiles and i downloaded it from thr

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Yes.. Helium app can backed up to internal and external storage. There is option backup to internal or external SD card..
By the way u don't know about 4.2.2 firmware.. Okay.. What's the build number and baseband version? U may need to see.. Go to settings-> About device. U will see that baseband and build number there.. If u found it..

AFAIK Leaked 4.2.2 is not belong to any region... better u Backup ur current rom through cwm on extsd....download ins 4.2.2 n flash it through odin...now if u r satisfied with it just root it...restore ur game data....if not just flash cwm n restore ur 4.2.2 (leaked) backup....or wait for some ins 4.2.2 user reviews....

Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you dont have Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP) then you can simply download and instal the update zip package through stock recovery. If you can't download because of modified system settings then use TA to make it official

Do u mean Triangle away? If yes then that also does not help. It downloads the file but fails to update. Any work around on this?

Can v flash stock recovery through cwm recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9082 using Tapatalk

Yup, I mean Triangle Away. The update shall be downloaded but the update zip can only be flashed through stock recovery. AFAIK entering into CWM immediately modifies your system settings to Custom and update zip wont load on a modified system. I am not sure whether you can flash stock recovery through CWM.

Hmmm... I went back to stock to get the updates.

Because he lives in India or is using the Indian ROM. That's pretty basic stuff to know
@maksud_ans : OTA updates are not very stable, I mean there is NO guarantee that every one will have the OTA update. So it's better to download the whole ROM and flash via Odin.

4.4.2 Firmware

Hey guys.
Had some great advice in some of my other questions and I thank everyone who posted. Everything always helps.
Just before I do this, as I've been informed that you can't go back to 4.3 after updating bootloader to 4.4.2.
Which would be the latest 4.4.2 firmware I should flash for N9005 in Australia? I then want to flash custom roms like Xnote etc. Knox will be triggered after I flash a custom recovery am I right?
Thanks guys. As far as I can see NC3 is the latest.

Oh ok cool thank you.
Thing is what if I was to flash the Netherlands firmware, will I still be able to use it stock if I wish in Australia? I'll probably go straight to custom rom but just seeing. I'm worried if I flash a certain countries firmware I'll brick my device...

no u won't brick, as long as u choose the correct firmware for your device.
and do a proper step by ODIN PC.
btw, u open 2 similar threads ?

Yeah I know, just trying to get more info. As a thread gets seen once, it's forgotten about pretty quickly and not many people get to see it, or have the opportunity to comment. especially in the q&a section.

Another thing I wanted to check was if I flashed ND3...can use like NB7 or NB3 or any earlier 4.4.2 rom?? Custom obviously? Heard some scary things if you go back...maybe that's to a non-knox firmware...
Thanks!!

You can flash other (earlier) 4.4.2 roms but you can`t downgrade to a 4.3 rom afaik

Oh cool. That's fine then. All these have open MSCs right? So I could technically use it stock? There will be an English option? I mean if it's all on there I don't know why Samsung doesn't release it at a faster rate, ir more at once... If indeed it works fine. I'll probably change straight away to a custom rom but still, it'd be nice to see what vanilla kit kit is like.
