[Q] Why my Note3 can't have Kitkat Kies or OTA ? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I bought my Note3 in a spanish online store and i use it in France.
I'm still in 4.3 because the upgrade doesn't show up OTA or on KIES, they both say that I have the latest version.
It seems that the upgrade is available in these 2 countries, so I don't really understant why I can't upgrade ?
I have attached a screen of my "About device" section if it can helps.
Thank you for your help.

It depends on your CSC.
Please use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check for your CSC first, and then search on the sammobile.com if there is an update for your CSC.
Download link in my signature.

If not buying from Samsung authorized retailers with its original warranty, u may want to check ur system status. Whether modified or official. And u better go to download mode as well to check the knox flag status
Happened to my friend new note N9005.
Status modified, knox 0x1.
And the phone can't get OTA.
Sent from N9005 NC2 ROM.

Thank you for your answers.
I've downloaded the application, I have still full knox warrantly ((0x0), but I have found that my phone comes from Austria.
AP & CP : N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC : N9005ATODMJ4
Apparently, the kitkat update will not come soon for this country, so I will have to flash the latest french XEF rom.
Thank you, problem solved

Just thought I'd add, Kies 3 lost support of updating the Note 3 after the new bootloader came out on JB MJ1... Samsung have, in their infinite wisdom, NOT fixed support for this. If anything goes wrong with a flash or OTA then you are stuck using ODIN to fix... The whole "Rmergency Firmware Recovery" thing is just a load o crap....

U don't need to depend on ota or kies. Just upgrade through ODIN.
Sometimes wait for OTA will make u fèel so much envy to others who got it alrd.
And flash through ODIN is much better.

New Kies Firmware Issue.

Loaded Kies earlier and it prompted for an update. Did so then hooked up my tab to check IF there were any updates.
Got the following under Firmware Information.

I updated to the German JB ROM when it came out, then swapped back to the UK when it finally released. I didn't change CSC or anything else. I did use Chainfires Exynos Exploit app to root and fix the exploit then I fully unrooted prior to flashing the UK specific JB release. Running firmware update from the device throws back the usual device has most recent firmware installed.
My device is saying OFFICIAL, in the Status menu AND in the Recovey menu. Anyone else having similar trouble with Kies?
May be it has something to with exploit patch which has rewritten some of the system files and change the binary numbers as ota checks for that I suggest you do a clean install
Csc LL1 BGL isn't UK.
you'll need to change it to BTU using csc changer, (don't forget that will factory reset)

I have the exact same issue. My device is not rooted or anything. Ive just installed the german firmware via odin.
Plus when I go to check for updates it says registration failed.

I noticed that yesterday after I posted this thread. I was under the impression you had to use an app to change the CSC on the 8010. Maybe my tab wasn't a UK tab after all lol.
The only thing I have ever done to the tab was install the exynos exploit fix, rooted, then unrooted and installed the german rom. Then I installed the UK rom when it was released. Never once did a factory reset or apply any CSC changes....
Yesterday I installed the exynos fix rom that Legion posted links to.
Its not causing any issues so far. Not had any region specific issues, but then I never had any before either.

You don't need and can't downgrade. If you received OTA (Over the air) update and ur phone updated to GN5 means that ur phone isnt Australian, it's german. You can know it better doing this steps:
1. Install Kies 3 and it will give u the CSC (device code zone) like in pic attached.
2. Take a look the CODE of 3 letters in this page for check the country of your device -> HERE
3. Done
*EDIT: The latest firmware update for i9505 is I9505XXUGNF1 if you own a german phone (DBT).

When you root your device automatically change of OFFICIAL to CUSTOM. You will have to flash lollipop via ODIN for take back OFFICIAL status and receive future OTA updates.

All is correct. Your device is NZC (New Zealand) but you still without Lollipop update. You can take a look: HERE (keep it in favorites and take a look sometimes for see if you have new udpates). It's better that you wait if you want receive future updates via OTA.

No, flashing stock doesn't affect KNOX
This method is already being discussed in the main N thread too

Does it wipe my data ? I have RO(MANIA) CSC. Will it work?
Did not worked for me. Still on my Home CSC ... I flashed CSC not home_CSC
It's the same for me. SmartSwitch shows a DBT version although I flashed the CSC from SamFirm.
When I take a look at the CSC on the phone with *#1234# I can see the OXA CSC. I think that's wrong...?
What's wrong? Can u please help me?
Several people from different regions reported this guide and firmware works for them: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat-ota-update/
I am currently still downloading
If you're coming from DBT, you have to flash TPL/PRT/PLS before BTU!!! After this, it will work...
I am on BTU firmware but is rooted and modified. Can i flash this without loosing data? My status will be official after flashing it without loosing data?
This is my version. Can I get 7?

S8, download mode shows Knox 0x0 but S-health and other related app say rooted

Hello everybody,
I am totally new so please forgive me if I ask something stupid.
So I got this phone, S8. In Download Mode, it shows Knox is not tripped (0x0) but my S-health and Samsung Pay doesn not work. And I am sitting at android 7 and cannot upgrade.
Pics attached below.
I know nothing about rooting or flashing so a little more details would be super great. Thank you guys.

Go in the recovery what version does it say at the top. Also what model is the device its written on the back next to imei number.
Looks like you are on carrier locked device with locked bootloader and rooted rom.
Your solution is to flash same version of stock firmware.

Hi Vcek,
It is S8, SM-950U. Unlock carrier. Android 7 version, G950USQU2BQK5
So in the end, is it rooted or none-rooted phone? The Knox 0x0 confused me alot.
I did some google and someone says sth about flashing with Odin, and flash all of the options such as Bootloader, AP, CP, CSC and so.
Then my question is,
1. Will flashing with Odin using the firmware I download updato.com (could not download from SamMobile) trip the Knox?
2. By saying stock firmware, do you mean "official" firmware or else? Like I can use a firmware for T-Mobile, android 9 (Pie) or I have to use a T-Mobile, android 7 version?
3. The firmware I got from updato.com is for AP flashing, so for other options like CP, CSC, where can I download the official files?
4. I should not flash bootloader, should I? Since it will trip Knox?
5. Is there any better sites than updato.com and SamMobile? One is so freaking slow and the other is not downloadable.
Thank a lot for helping me!
Hi all,
The problem was solved. I just flashed all of the options with a stock room using Odin.
