I'd like to install a stock ROM in my Note 3 SM-N9005, but there are many ones. The one of my country is stuck with 4.3. Can I install a any stock ROM of any country and will it work?

As far as I know you need to flash the correct ROM for your country. You'll find the lastest ROMs at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
To search and download a firmware it is recommended to join for free at this website. Then search for your model "SM-N9005" and for each country the last firmware version will be displayed. You can download and flash it.

Provided that your phone is not locked to a network, you are free to install ROMs from different countries. Just make sure you choose the correct ROM for your particular device.

So I have the I9505 and apparently it was imported from Hong Kong (It's fully unlocked and working) the baseband version is ZHUAME3 and the build date is May 14 which is the latest in Hong Kong... I wanna flash the stock UK ROM which has the build May 29 because it's newer. Do I flash using Odin? And will it remove data?
Also, will I have problems with networks?

Hi Guys,
I have spent quite a bit of time reading about the officially released KK roms for the Note 3 and really just wanted to know if i was to flash, say, the Polish rom to my device through Odin, would i be able to flash the official UK release when it finally gets released? Are there any downsides to flashing a non UK based rom in this way? My phone was bought from Phones4u in the UK but i believe it to be Sim free phone, IE no Vodafone Bloat.
Whats the general thoughts, wait for the official UK rom or go for some Kitkat goodness?
Thanks guys

Ok, so:
Firstly you need to check if your phone is SM N9005 or SM N9000. If it is, good. Than it is international version of the Note 3.
You can go to sammobile.com and look for FIRMWARES not ROMs that are 4.4.2. First you have to download those stock firmwares and flash via odin (if it ends with .tar.md5) or simply via recovery if it is .zip.
You don't have to worry about the country you download (I think there is UK too) because it makes absolutely no difference.
When done with that, you can look for ROMs to flash or you can use the phone as stock.
YOU CANNOT FLASH KITKAT ROMS IF YOU DON'T HAVE STOCK KITKAT FIRMWARE !!
ONCE YOU GET ANDROID KITKAT, THERE'S NO TURNING BACK TO JB.
So, I hope you understand me. If you don't, feel free to ask

It'll be an N9005 If from Phones4U in the UK -- that's all they stock.

Thanks very much for the reply, its been very helpful. If i was to update to one of the international version, say polish, when the UK version comes out would that be a OTA update for me or would just not see there was an update available?
Thanks again.

Not an OTA update no, you'd get Polish OTA's -- however, soon as UK BTU version is out, grab the ROM from Sammobile or here and flash it and you'll get UK updates (not a great deal different in most EU ROMS - CSC's are multi etc

And if I flash the Polish Rom am I pretty much guaranteed not to trip Knox? My warranty is important to me.
Official ROMs won't trip Knox no.

No problem. Don't use Odin 3.09 - use 3.04/3.07 or 1.85

One last thing, if you do try to flash a JB rom through ODIN after going to KK you will trigger Knox warranty void...
You are trying to flash a bootloader the Note 3 no longer looks at as Stock so you will trigger Knox. This has been reported by a few people....
UPGRADE to KitKat, it is better than JB. Cheers!

Hey sorry for the late. There will be OTA updates, everything will work just fine. That's why it's callled STOCK ROM. Everything is made by Samsung. ROMs are custom, other developers make those.

Sorry, I didn't understand you at the first answer... If the update comes, it will probably be available in USA, and then in GB and EU etc... So you can visit that site sammobile.com again and seek the new firmwares. It is the same (I'm from Serbia and I use polish as it came out first). Good luck! ☺

Hello there, I flashed my S3 Neo with an unofficial ROM so I could see how good is Lolipop 5.0, but I didn't like it so much, so I wanted to revert back to my stock ROM which is Android 4.4.2. My question is, does the Baseband version matters? My phone baseband version is I9301IXXUANI2 but when I went to the Samsung Updates site where I could find my ROM, there was only I9301IXXUANI1 versions, no I9301IXXUANI2. If I try to use that version from the site, would my phone get bricked?
Sorry for my bad english.
no it doesn't matter !
at least from what i know !
i did installed different baseband version to my phone and nothing happened everything works fine !
just be sure its for ur phone which is i9301i !
good luck

Nothing is matter. Baseband or region has no impact. That's what i know. Go to sammobile.com and download any baseband version firmware and flash it through odin. Just remember one thing that firmware should be for your exact model.
Thanks all for your help

You are welcome. And may be your service providers have some restrictions so try to download a firmware for your country or which is for your neighbour countries. And there will be no problems. I am not from Europe and i have tried firmwares of European countries.
Thanks all for your help, but is there any alternative of samsung-updates .com ? Their download links are the worse thing I ever seen in my life, I takes me 4h to download at a limited speed and the download failed once.

This maybe a very stupid question but ive looked everywhere for an answer but i cant find one. Is it possible to flash the stock lollipop rom over an unrooted o2 lollipop rom. Only reason im asking is i haven't much experience flashing Samsung phones and i want to make sure i don't brick the thing lol. any advice would be great. If it all possible could some one post me a link to which of the unbranded roms is best to use thanks.

Go to sammobile and find your firmware. Try to search by name e.g SM-N9005 and country. When you download from there you will see instructions or all over xda on how to use ? odin.
All you need is ? odin. No risks if you follow the instructions.
Thanks for the reply but it still doesn't answer my original question can I flash a unbranded lollipop over the O2 lollipop and I have yet to find a unbranded UK lollipop rom yet so which version do I down load?
Thanks

You should flash the good firmware for your CSC (device country code). You can find it installing this APP and going to Sammobile.com then for download the correct firmware.
mine says o2u and i cant find an unbranded firmware. ive included a screen shot.

You shouldn't flash unbranded firmware to one branded device. You should flash one of this ONES then.
is that the branded version of the o2 firmware? as i have that one installed already.
I have galaxy s4 GT-I9500. And since it with Rogers or At&T i was looking for i337m rom.
I had resurrection rom on it, although the modem would not detect any sim cards
I was thinking to reflash it to stock rom using odin and used the following guide: https://trueandroid.com/en/i337mvlu...-s4-sgh-i337m-canada-test-build-how-to-guide/
Odin would complain that it could not repartitions using JFLTE_CAN_OPEN.pit
So i following the rest of the instructions without pit file, and odin would get stuck at recovery.
I have also tried to get another official rom: I337MVLUGOH1_I337MOYAGOH1_I337MVLUGOH1_HOME.tar.md5, although i would get stuck at writing nand.
The phone right now is on "firmware encountered an issue" screen
Any suggestion on how to fix this issue? and I have also tried odin 1.85 to 3.10
If the phone is a gt-i9500, you can't flash stock firmware from another phone like the sgh-i337m. The 9500 and 337m have different hardware.

I have looked at sammobile site for another gt-i9500 rom, but I just dont know which one to select, they are all from european/middle eastern countries. Any that can be recommended?
I recommend flashing the rom for the country where the phone came from.

All the I9500 ROMs are for Europe and the Middle East. Since your device is apparently unlocked, you can flash any of them. They're all the same, with the only difference being the apps that are bundled with them. For you, the best ROM from Sammobile will be one that isn't tied to a carrier, which for the I9500 is most of them. You can tell these from the rest by the lack of a carrier name, e.g. Vodafone.
