I have an international Note 3 9005, 4.3, Build XXUBMI7. I would like to update to 4.4.2 but i'm really lost how to proceed and where to download the necessary files?

@Claudio21CH
1 Download the firmware from sammobile.cpm
2 Pc ODin you must have used it fpr rooting.
Flash the firmware with pc odin to your phone via usb cable.
Same procesure you have used to root your phone.
Sent from Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005

thank you very much, will try and keep you posted!!

I visited sammobile and checked their firmware section. Seems for my build (N9005XXUMBI6) there is NO firmware update to 4.4.2, only for 4.3. My phone was bought in Switzerland without carrier lock. Can I just use one of the firmware where it says 'country unknown' or do I risk to brick my device? Thank you once again

What is your CSC?
Use this app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to see what is your CSC.
Also in this app. you can enter the Menu --> select 'Firmware Browser...' to see a list of available stock firmwares for your phone, including the latest one.

Thank you very much

Nope, it is CSC version, not the actual CSC code.
I mean the 'Active CSC code' in the CSC INFO section.
Anyway you can enter the menu and select 'Firmware Browser' to check for the latest firmware by yourself.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDIT: Ok, AUT is Switzerland and the latest firmware is N9005XXUENB4 on March 2014, Android 4.4.2
The download link for this firmware is also given in this app.

What is your KNOX state, If its still 0x0, the you would need the mobile odin pro 4.0 method to update to keep knox 0x0.

Thank you all. Finally managed to upgrade to 4.4.2 with firmware from sammobile.com but now realized that I don't have root anymore. Will use CF autoroot for 4.4.2.
Cheers

you can download from the mirror here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643109
(if you find samfirmware is slow).
If you only flash original firmware, it won't trigger KNOX. region doesn't matter. just pick up the latest one, and don't forget to tick "upgrade bootloader" when you are flashing with ODIN PC. Otherwise, ..... mmm... better not think if you never tick it.
Do you have any real reason to upgrade, other than "to have the latest android version, because THEY say it's better" ?
Maybe this thread will show you the pain in the *** that kitkat is on Note 3:

And also, here, the end of that story:

Maybe you'll think again about upgrading (just my humble opinion).
Good luck,

Try checking if there is a new version in Settings->General->About Device->Software Update.If you don't get an update to download then go to Sammobile, make an account, look at the firmware section and chose a firmware and download it.After doing all this flash the firmware package with Odin.Also this is the wrong section, you should have posted in the Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Use odin program. Download files from sammobile. Com
Download for your version.
Read some more ^^
what is best way to ensure correct version
Bootloader is N9005XXUGNI4
Baseband is N9005XXUGNL1
PDA is N9005XXUGNI4
CSC N9005OLBGNL1
it says 4.4.2 is current however everyone else I know has 5.0 Lollipop
how can I update this to lollipop
better dont
You should wait a bit more and stick to the kit kat since lollipop is not polished an fixed entirely for average use. Don't get me wrong but if you don't know how to do it better don't do it yet because it can provide problematic install and/or bootloop. Even Samsung official update is stopped because of lollipop problems.
Cheers!
When you search for sm-n9005 in sammobile firmware section, download open German lollipop (not carrier ones). When you download firmware, there you can see how to install as the instructions are there. Gl

[Q] What model (version) of s4 is exactly this?

What model (version) of s4 is exactly this phone? which software is installed on it? is it stock or not ? plzz help and tell me its complete version details
My phone is sgh-i337 or gt-i9505 ? Or only baseband version is i337...or any firmware version difference ? Help
Open the back and remove the battery. Look on the label. Unless the person who sold you the phone physically changed the label, or removed it, it will accurately tell you the hardware version of your phone.
Given that the boot loader and modem (baseband) are for the AT&T version, SGH-I337, it seems likely that the hardware is I337.
Edit: Also, check that it's not a cheap fake clone. There are apps that can check hardware, and run benchmarks, etc. Search "Genuine Galaxy" on the play store.

I've really no clue. I'm not aware whether an AT&T modem will even work on that phone.
If the hardware is genuine GT-I9505, then you will most likely get a more definitive answer in the XDA-Developers forum for that phone.

It's most likely an I337 with an I9505 system. Either way, since the bootloader is i337, that means it's locked so if it ever was an I9505 it's not now, but mist likely it wasn't ever.
I checked indownload mode its sgh i337....can I install back stock firmware ...see this site http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB419415&cv=820
is it possible to flash through odin this stock lollipop firmware?
Finally I got it....its i337...I checked imei on imei.info it says it is i337 and also checked for blacklist its all clean....and I opened back cover and see it and its written "MADE BY SAMAUNG" ...spelling of samsung is wrong ...it means sticker and software are of 9505 and hardware are i337 at & t usa carrier....I think its changed in korea...phone is converted....now planning to download stock firmware of i337 lollipop and install through odin...
if anyone have link plz share

The boot loader is locked, so you can't do this exactly. You can install stock KitKat, install safestrap, and upgrade to lollipop that way. You need to read through the forums to understand what you are doing before you proceed. I'd suggest you do quite a bit of reading, and only flash when you are sure you know what you want to do.

You seem to understand what you are doing. You should be able to figure this out on your own.
Start here.
Also this.
And this.
Or try some of the fine custom firmware in the Android Development forum.

I do not own this phone, so I can't test or speak from personal experience. I already gave you the links to the information you need ^^^. I don't know if you can receive Over The Air (OTA) firmware updates. You may not be able to if you're not in USA. Also, I'm not sure if you need to be on an AT&T sim. If you can, you can get stock lollipop without root with this method: go to the "[GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap" which is the second link. Go to the second post titled "Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Safestrap Instructions" and click the button to expand the instructions for "OPTION 1 - Stock Lollipop (No ROOT)"
If you cannot receive OTA updates, then currently your option would be to first flash NB1, manually flash the NJ4 update, root and install safestrap. In the Odin to Stock guide, perform both step 1 and step 2 under "NJ4 -- KitKat 4.4.4" After this, you can use the "[How-To] Update to I337_OC3 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot (4/7/2015) " thread, which is the third link above ^^^.
Your third option would be to wait until the developers post a method for flashing Lollipop directly from Odin.

I successfuly updated to 4.4.2 stock NB1 software manually thorough odin then manually flashed NJ4 by stock recovery...now im not receiving ota update to lolipop....now what nxt to do ? should i root NJ4 and install OC3...
And actually I dont want to root i nedd unrooted stock OC3 ...if you know any direct method to flash..
After update to nj4 4.4.4 im getting delays in sending text msgs and making calls....what to do now should i flash different modem or baseband any ideas ?? :/
Now that you have updated your user account, we can see that you are in Faisalabad, Pakistan using Mobilink carrier. As far as I know, you will not be able to receive an over the air update, nor be able to use Kies to update. Someone who knows more could give a definitive answer on this.
Assuming that you will be unable to use OTA or Kies, your options are:
- root, install safestrap, install rooted OC3
- wait unitl (and if) developers post an Odin flashable version of stock unrooted OC3.
As far as your other issues, you could install the NB1 modem (baseband) and see if that clears up the issues, as it was working before.
