[Q] Official Region Unlocked N9005 and 4.4.2 Flash with Odin - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I live in Turkey and I bought my N9005 from Germany (Saturn-I think it is DBT version)
I contacted samsung.de and they provided unlock code for region lock.
and it is officially region unlocked.
I've been waiting for kitkat update for DBT version but nothing came online yet.
So here is the question,
What happens to my "unlock", if I flash poland or any other FW via Odin to my N9005?
will I need to contact samsung.de for a new unlock code , which takes 10-15 days to get one.
or it will stay region unlocked after Odin flash of any FW (european)
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Flash official unbranded rom on a Note 3 branded

Hello all,
I own a Galaxy Note 3 which has an Orange branded rom (France carrier), and I'm thinking of flashing a stock unbranded rom of France.
I'd like to know if there is going to be a region lock problem and also if the knox will be triggered.
You see I'm living in Greece and not in France. (If the region matters) ?
Thanks in advance.
No and No to both questions.
You can flash an official unbranded ROM over an official branded ROM. If you stay in the same region (EU) or even more safely, the same country, then this won't trigger KNOX.
Just grab the newest XEF and you'll be fine.
(I get people to do this with TNL and PHN on a daily basis)

[Q] Lollipop update on S5

Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?

Carrier locked... (EE)EVA to unlocked (BTU) unlocked UK

Is it possible for me to flash the unlocked uk firmware BTU if I'm on EVA(EE) and if I did so would I be able to use an o2 sim card and still receive updates? Theres probly a thread for all this but i just cannot see it lol.
Thank you
Hello... It should be haven't done on my s10 plus cos its the unlocked version but did that one note 9 was also on EE and did put the BTU with odin.
