You could try and activate developer opinions and turn on USB debugging it might help
Go to settings, about and tap the build number 5 times that will open developer op

you cant sammy wont let you do that anymore

Roll back to stock Firmware ? or roll back the stock firmware aka Downgrade?
If it's downgrade, you cannot.
To go back to stock make sure you have the correct USB drivers installed and KIES should work for you. Or alternatively grab your stock ROM from sammobile and flash it via ODIN.
Just seen you had installed the drivers, Check you have the right version of KIES installed, as there are two options from samsungs site. Or just try ODIN

If using Stock ROM and you haven't already rooted previously then No. If you have rooted then depending on your chosen root method, it may have been tripped.

I think is a clone coz the build N900DDUEBOB1 don't exist on the official firmware releases. You can:
1. Install this APP.
2. Go to MENU and select REFURBISHMENT CHECK.
3. It will tell you if is a clone or original.

Be relaxed coz you can flash what I was telling you without issues. Your PDA is different coz you or other person tried to flash other firmware different (I supose the firmware with the CSC: INU (India) that use N900XXUEBOD1). But your CSC is INS. The root process don't work coz your device have different PDA, Baseband and CSC and only you can solve it matching them with the process exposed above.

Printed model is : SM-N9005

In that case SM-N900S

I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.
The printed model # sm-n9005 is on the label under the battery?

Thanx

If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
