[Q] Region Unlock when upgrading to 4.4.2 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I have bought here in Israel a i9505.It in in 4.3
Just root it and installed CWM.
If i look at the box, i can see that it is coming from Europe (i don t have the sticker with region lock but i have a list of countries...)
I can''t know if it was region lock or not but it working with no issues with my Israeli SIM card
My question : if i upgrade to an official 4.4.2 ROM, will it be still region unlock or will it be lock ?
Thanks dor your help

[Q] About updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3 using odin

Hi All,
Ive searched and searched and cant find anything, i have just acquired a SGS4, I9505.
First of all... you will need to know this:
AP: I9505XXUDMGG
CP: I9505XXUDMGG
CSC: I9505VFGDMG3
Im on a understanding that this is on Voda (UK) software, however the handset isnt locked to Vodafone. I recieved this second hand and have a Three network sim on it.
My question:
I see on Samsung-updates.com and SamMobile that there are loads of 4.3 software variants available to download and flash, would i specifically need to look for a MGG one? (If so i can only find 4.2.2 ones) or would any UK Variant work? I was wanting to try this before i think about Custom romming the handset. . . Also, if i am available to do this would it lock the phone to Vodafone (If the handset was ever unlocked before i got it)
Thanks in Advanced guys.

[Q] Official Region Unlocked N9005 and 4.4.2 Flash with Odin

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.

[Q] Can I install the Polish 5.0 build on a Carrier locked EE Note?

Can I install the Polish 5.0 build on a Carrier locked EE (UK) Note 9005?
Sorry for the question. I'm struggling to understand the requirements. My Note 3 is locked to EE. If I install the unbranded Lollipop 5 on this will it cause issues? Does the SIM lock have any affect on the ROM?
I'm thinking if I install the Polsih or UK Vodafone Firmware the phone will no longer work on my Provider? All I would then need to do is request a Unlock code?
Any help will be appreciated.......I'll leave thanks!
