Updating Poland NB1 to NC2 via Odin - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I have a N9005 bought from France (product code - XEF) which came with android 4.3 onboard and after 2 weeks when kitkat was released, I flashed the first build - Poland NA2 and after a while I received OTA to NB1.
When NC2 came out I've seen a lot of discussions about Odin failing to flash the hidden partition so I sticked with NB1 and waited for the Poland version.
Now, finally, we have the Poland Rom - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28201
My question is: if I will flash this rom with odin, after fully wiping my phone, will it succed?
Thanks !

Yes. U can try don't wipe first. Coz it is the same 4.4.2.
Unless ur screen hang on the 1st screen at samsung note 3, the take out battery, and go recovery do factory reset.

Status != official

My S4 I9505 was on the latest official BTU firmware. I decided to flash the latest MF5 (NEE) firmware with Odin 3.07. No rooting or change to recovery.
I was slightly surprised to see About->Status showing "Device Status Custom" .
Is this normal now with the S4? Presumably it's because I flashed an NEE rom manually - so not a BTU rom?
Not that bothered just a little surprised/intrigued
I guess I could root and try triangle away? Maybe the next BTU update will fix it.

Its normal that it triggers Custom nothing new
Flashing Stock rom and reset after that will make it Official and ya u can root and use TA but since u have flashed official firmware mostly binary will be Zero only
As per what u know any Samsung Signed firmware wont increase Binary counter

I had the same problem after updating to KK from 4.3 on my N9005.
Keep in mind, I had another version NOTE 3 from yours.
I got ext4 error in Odin.
Flashed everything on KK, stock roms, custom roms, modems , but no avail.
Then I tried flashing 4.3 modem on 4.4 stock rom BTU. And baseband came to life.
I suggest you to just try it after flashing any other stock rom If your phone is not Network locked.
Here are some 4.3 modems to download for Note 3 models. Flash it Twice without checking Autoreboot.

downgrade lollipop to kitkat 4.4.2

Hello. Today I installed on my notes 3 SM-N9005 lollipop 5.0 version Poland but I found them a few problems: the first is that the vibration of the keyboard does not work. I found two of the slowdowns in the task manager. Now if I want to return to kitkat I can do fleshando firmware via Odin? ??
I reverted back to KK normally via Odin no problems at all but I have The SM-N900 variant.
Did you update ur bootloader while flashing to Lolipop?
And did you tick update bootloader button while downgrading?

[Q] Installing Lollipop for Rooted 4.2.2 Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900)

So I've just rooted my 4.2.2 stock Galaxy Note 3 and I want to upgrade to Lollipop. To this day, LP was only released for Russia and India for SM-N900.
I want to know:
1) Would it be safe to flash these updates from SamMobile, knowing that the SM-N900 is the carrier free, "international" version of the Note 3 ?
2) If yes, are these localized for Russia/India or would I have all options that would be available in a standard English release ? (language is obviously my first concern)
3) If all of the above is fine, would updating by flashing with Odin require a data wipe of the phone, or can I just update and reboot my phone with all apps/data, etc.. as if I've updated using OTA? I want to keep everything I have on the phone as is.
Thanks for taking the time to answer !

Downgrade SM-N900W8 to 4.3 MJ1 from NA2 leaked Mexican ROM

Hello
So I have a Note 3 SM-N900W8 in Canada that came with Android 4.3 (MJ1 Telus) . Wanting to try 4.4.2 I waited until a method that allowed downgrades came out (The Mexican NA2 method)
So I updated to the 4.4.2 NA2 ROM and then to X-Note 4.4.2 (no idea of version, just remember it was X-Note 4.4.2 and I'm still on NA2 leaked bootloader.) After using it for about a year I want out and want to downgrade back to MJ1 4.3 due to instability. I have a copy of the 4.3 MJ1 tar.md5 on a external drive.
So just to make sure without getting a brick. I just insert the 4.3 MJ1 tar.md5 from SamMobile in Odin, go into Download Mode and it will downgrade to 4.3 including the bootloader? Just confirming.
Thanks
JTL
