Had issues flashing the Singapore XSP rom on my G900F after flashing the UK BTU. Odin reported "File Size Too Large" at the end. Any idea how to get around this?
I'm starting to hate Samsung, why there be issues flashing G900F roms from different regions on G900F phones...?

Hi, I hear and see people posting unbranded firmware here all the time, I assume that means firmware without a CSC?
Is there even firmwares without CSC? Everything on SamMobile seems to have a CSC included
Maybe I am missunderstood for roms that dont have any noticible branding such as boot logos
My G900H is a product from Trinidad & Tobago. I tried to install it a rom from Russia via Odin, all seemed to be fine until writing "hidden" then it just failed and leave the phone in download mode. The only solutions was to install the previous rom I had. Back when I had my S3 it did not matter what region the rom was for provided the were for the same model, on S5 it seems not to be the case. ¿Any workaround or is it a knox thing?
My phone is Galaxy A5(SM-500F)
PDA/Baseband:A500FXXU1AOC1
Region/CSC: KSA
android version :4.4.4
*can i flash leatest (5.0.2)firmware with other csc for this model??
and How to flash this?
You shouldnt have a problem, i received my phone with NEE CSC (nordic countries) and flashed the Cyprus one as it had newer build date.
Ps, when flashing with odin, and changing region, tick the Update Bootloader option.
Also, Branded or Carrier Roms (Vodafone, Tmo, etc) wont flash on Unbranded phones as they have different partition tables.
Remember to flash only roms for your variant strictly (SM-A500F)
Edit: Latest rom is Here, instructions how to flash are on the download page of the rom you choose.

Does flashing original samsung firmwares trigger knox counter? Like if i have a stock phone with KK 4.4 and flash the LL 5.0.2
will the knox counter get triggered ?
No worries, it wont. Odin is a samsung leaked tool, and the roms are samsung made packages, it is pretty much what Kies/Smart Switch do when they handle the phones.

Τhanks a lot bro
To make a long story short, I bought a motherboard for a note 3 from Hong kong (AliExpress). According to the seller, the motherboard was an European version, but it turned out to be a Hong kong model (TGY). I have nothing against Hong Kong, but I tried flashing a European rom 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin, but I was getting ext4 image errors. So, I flashed with a pit file and it went through, but wifi was greyed out, and there was no way to turn on Wifi. So, I reflashed TGY rom (4.4.2) with a pit file, and everything seems to work including Wifi.
BUT, I have an European rom (rooted, deodexed stock 4.4.2) with some modifications, and I would like to install this rom. Can someone suggest what I can do, to flash an European rom to a TGY model?

I think it's possible to use custom rom across any region. Only got problem when flashing with odin. With custom recovery should be fine.
Not really sure though.

Thank you.
I rooted and installed Philz Recovery. Then, I flashed a custom rom 4.4.2 (XEF). It flashes with no problem, but wifi was still greyed out.
Then, I followed this procedure. (Sorry. It is in French..)
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/188067-tuto-flasher-une-rom-europe-sur-note-3-hong-kong/
But, I got the same result with wifi greyed out.
As I have another N9005 (European version). I saved a pit file from this, and reflashed 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin. Still., wifi greyed out.
I made a comparison between the two Note 3, and I found out that the bootloader is different. So, I am trying to find a way to change the bootloader.
By the way, the European model is made in Korea, and the Hong Kong model is made in China.
If you have other suggestions, you are welcome.
Is it a N9005 motherboard or some other version ??

Here's the link. You can use any one of these, it doesn't matter as long as your model number is SM-N910F
