Softbrick in update to Kitkat - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I try to update my 4.3 ML2 firmware to 4.4 in my N9005
I download N9005XXUENB4_N9005VFGENA4_VD2 ROM from Sammobile, but when i put the ROM I was notified that the process failed.
Then i try to back to the N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005OXADMJ4_BTU, but I didn't succeed, then learned that you can't go back in Kitkat.
What do you recommend I should try?
Thank you!

Flash polish rom b3.

thanks!!!, but one question.
Not a problem going from NB4 to NB3?

If after installing NB3, I want to install NB7, what version should I install? Any?

[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

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?

[Q] Upgrade to 4.4.2 after rooting with cf-autoroot?

Hi!
Got my N9005 with MJ7, so I went and rooted with cf auto-root.
As I'm on 4.3 stock, what are my options for upgrading?
What are the implications of the new 4.4.2 bootloader ?

I can live with that as I like the s-pen features.
Should I just flash any firmware?
I see on sammobile there isn't yet a Croatian rom with 4.4.2.
Should I just flash another one if so how to choose and what is the best way to flash?
Will my root survive or will I have to re-root?
Thanks!
Mine didn't survive and now I can't re root for some reason

Chainfire has a 4.4.2 version of CF auto-root out, did you try that?
Yeah that's the only one I tried. Seems to install fine but when booted back up supersu isn't even installed

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.

Mate, you can check other pages here in XDA or even Google and link it with your phone, also, try Sammobile, if you can't still find it, try to Plug in your phone into Computer open Kies then check the Software Update.
