Model SM-N9005
Product code SM-N9005ZWETGY
PDA N9005ZHUDMK1

Can I download the XEF ROM for France (international ROM: not operator dependant) and install it with ODIN?
Thanks for your help

As it's a HK Note, you have to go do some reading as they work differently to the Intl Note 3, @FeralFire has been looking into ways to help HK note users flash different firmwares, click his name in this post, and check his post history and read what he has wrote. He also has a guide to help you through errors which occur on the HK note.
Thanks for your quick help. Seems rather complicated..... I'll read everything and try to understand...
It's not yet clear to me whether I can turn this Hong Kong version in an "normal" international version by flashing the french international firmware?

Hello everyone, so I received my I9500 octacore version today. When I try to check my CSC: I see I9500XXUAMDE as PDC, and I9500OJVAMDC as CSC. When I go to check this on Sammobile, they told me that this is Afghanistan Firmware. What does this mean exactly? What is the CSC, and why is my firmware Afghanistan, does it mean that my phone was build there?
By the way, i import this from a US ebay seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/200921143337...84.m1497.l2649
If someone can explain me about all this, Thank you in advance.

I9500XXUAMDE is just your firmware, I am also running this and I live in Australia.
So to be clear you can run any firmware and it doesn't matter.
Your CSC is the modem for the region and OJVA identifies the region and MDC identifies the version you are running.
So OJVA is your region and as long as you are getting a signal it is all fine

I started a simlar thread a few days back asking similar question. I am trying to flash ROM from different region and without success. so far no one has replied a way to do it. I have Vodafone ROM on my N9005 and I have managed to flash it with BTU ROM but not TGY ROM. Apparently any european ROM I can probably flash but not asia. So you is the other way round.
Hi I just got a Note 3 on eBay, I think the seller was from Hong Kong but they opened it and installed Singaporean firmware on it.
I want it to run HK firmware but I heard about all these issues with the partition? I'm confused, which firmware am I allowed to install? I have XSP so I think that is Singapore.
I have a Rose Gold White 32GB.

Yes, you are right that the HK firmware can not be installed on another Note 3 due to different PIT file.
What is your Original CSC? You can check it with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

Sorry, Sony was very easy for me to flash, I am seriously confused. I just want a firmware where there is Traditional Chinese. My Sony Z2 with German firmware had all the languages, weird that Samsung doesn't include all. So can anyone please direct me? I don't want to flash the wrong firmware and brick it. Thanks.

Since your phone is XSP now, you MAY NEED the PIT file from the HK phone to flash the HK firmware.
Search in the forum for the PIT file and also the instruction.
hi
I had problems during reflash n9005 before.
i had version N9005XXUFNG2 and wanted to update to Poland XEO version N9005XXUEND3. Somebody reply me i can use it and i almost kill my note3 during flash.

my current firmware is N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5, phone is probably from Austria A1 network (i bought it in local store with papers)
now there is update to android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.
Regards

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.
Hi everyone,
I installed an original firmware from germany and my CSC shows as original the CSC code as SIM which is from Slovenia and only firmware from that country is for the 910C but I have a 910F.
Now I would like to know which is my original CSC.
thank you!
