well,
you don't need to go back to the NC3 firmware if you just want to unroot it.
you can just flash back the original firmware ND3 that you have, the root will be gone
because, from my experienced, what you upgrade to ND series, hardly possible for you to downgrade to NC series, due to its bootloader.

That's where I looked.
But I was not sure which one is right.
Sweden - VDS
or
Sweden - 3 is not the one I should have.
or
Nordic countries - NEE.
I think it's the last thing that is right.
Thanks for your time!
Next question!
I want to get rid of everything that existed on the device and start from scratch.
Is there some kind of formatting that removes just about everything and it may be that from the factory?
After I flash the stock ROM it wont turn wifi on. its been stopped by knox!??
Why and how to fix?

[Q] Revert to original Samsung firmwire

hello,
For some reason I would like to revert to touchwizz original firmwire. I'm trying to follow this tutorial : idroidspace.com/official-stock-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s5/
the problem is that my country/carrier (switzerland/sunrise) is not listed in on the samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900F
Anyone knows what i'm supposed to do? My device is a sm-g900f with baseband g900fxxu1ang2
PS: sorry i can't post links since I'm a newbie
I can't find it either. I suggest to flash the open austria firmware (AUT). Moreover I can't see any advantage in the branded fw.

My bad.....actualy they all have the same changelist number they probably are about the same.
EDIT: sorry BE Firmware? you mean if you can flash black edition in a non black edition , i think so , the device is the same only change is the outside , software is the same only change a few things , wallpapers , ringtones....

You can flash Black Edition firmware on a Black Mist device. The only difference between the two is, as mentioned, some added wallpapers and ringtones.
