with having a Canadian/Mexican variant (w8) you can upgrade/downgrade from JB > KK and KK > JB.
Your Baseband (from what I can tell at least) is still on JB, however your KK looks OK. - any specifc reason as to why you asked if it was a beta? it's just beta's don't come around too often and you usually gotta have inside connections to get one. Unless one leaks of course and you purposely flash it.
I askd this because I buy the phone from someone online so I asked this just to be sure that I don't have a wrong version

Plug your phone into your PC and run KIES it'll give you all your version information and if you are on the latest software etc.

I want to install the Polish 4.1 Firmware but have some questions.
What's different between this and the U.K firmware? What will be different?
If I flash the Firmware through Odin, it resets and I lose all my stuff right?
(Also I'm not rooted and don't want to root)
I would also like to do this but do not know the consequences

You phone will think it's in Poland and if you use any banking apps you will not be able to use that's why I don't install it

no idea what is the difference between polish and uk firmware, in theory there shouldn't be any.
nop, everything stays exactly the same. i would always advise you do a nandroid backup, just in case.

How do you get the polish fw? Do you change your regional settings to Poland or download it on pc and flash it?

And no, the Polish version doesn't affect the apps that you'll see on the Google Play and won't make your phone think that it's in Poland. The Odin installation will most likely wipe your phone, so be sure to backup everything before flashing. But just to be on the safe side, if you don't know what you are doing, don't flash it and wait for the official release on your region.

Any idea when the UK firmware will be available?
Hi, this is probably a super Noob question, but what is the difference between a N9005XXUDMK2 build and a N9005XXUDMJ7 builds.
I understand that the MK2 is an update that came after the MJ7 (which came loaded on my N9005).
Also, I get that the letters correspond to region and build date.
I just want to know if I can update my MJ7 baseband N-9005 to an MK2 build?
I tried out some of the unofficial releases of CM 11 so I don't have the OTA update option available to me anymore so this trouble.
Thanks!
Check the changelog, it's mainly slight bug fixes, yes you can upgrade and if you have issues you can fall back to MJ7 again without any problems

Thanks! Giving it a try now.
I was also wondering if you have any idea as the why the name of the 'Phone' memory changes when you go from Stock to CM.
It goes from being '0' to 'legacy' or something. I'm not to sure. The problem I'm facing is that when I recover by Stock from a CM11, a lot of apps don't function as it is not able to recognize the phone memory as the name has changed.
I hope I made some sense.
Thanks again!
Not 100% sure, must be the way file systems are read.

For me all works. For the S-View Cover if you got problems theres a XPOSED MODULE that fixes.
If you want to flash to kitkat flash to the latest one - https://mega.co.nz/#!9ExjAR5a!JlqiFGnMqN1iYQylM7-3bhvupKtkZ9fnLLwLwTC8rD0 (thanks @ValenteL )
What about battery state?

Best is poland, from what I have read and some ppl said.
But I couldn't find latest poland nb4 as what most ppl said.
So I flashed the nb7 germany but it requires pit file to be flashed together.
Or perhaps u could try nb7 uk.
My sview cover is working just fine with nb7 germany. No issue. And fyi, I m not using any original scover ciz too ex for me.
Sd card problem I found so far only on dolphin apps, where by it detects as "external sd" only, instead of "storage/external sd". Therefore if u want to download something, it will still be only able to save to internal sd.
Btw, battery much more better than 4.3.
I m quite satisfy with it, based on my same usage.
And it really did stay very well in deep sleep.
I discharged, and nver use it for 4 hours, it dropped to 98% only. Something I never see before.
Sent from N9005 4.4.2 NB7 rooted device
NB7 Germany contains the fix for the 3rd party accessories. (It is the second 4.4.2 update for DBT).
Keep in mind that 4.3 has a very, very annoying issue with Android leeching battery. I never had issues before updating to 4.4.2. Factory reset helped a bit, but not much. Ever so often Media Server prevents deep sleep.
The SD Card doesn't have problems, the lazy app developers have a problem. Google updated security policies (remember how people are always whining about security? This is the result. Blame them.) and now the devs have to alter one tiny permission in their apps and it works. But a lot of them can't be bothered.
If you are happy on 4.3, don't update.
I think to stay on 4.3 and wait for another update
Mybe 4.4.3 ?

You either update to 4.4.2, or don't update.
4.4.3 would be too long away. Once Google releases 4.4.3, it would take months for Samsung to update, if they feel like it.
Really I'm worry If I update my phone to 4.4.2
Be sorrowful for leaving 4.3 ?

Update it. You won't regret it

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.

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.
