Did you successfully flash another country's firmware? As I'm not using Kies, I'm not even sure which country it comes from! I'm a little worried about baseband being different in different countries.
Came across this, which suggests it might not work in the first place: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53721117&postcount=5
I flashed with odin a firmware for g900h from south africa that looked to me it had kinda same csc letters. Worked fine and now i have latest software for my phone. Kies recognise it also. All ok. No problem with modem or basebands or anything. My phone is carrier free so unlocked.

My S5 is also THR, so I looked-up sammobile for firmwares with PDA:NCI, PHONE: NCI and CSC: NCH.
Found Irak and Egypt to match those and both have the NE2 update available. Not sure I'll proceed with this considering some users reported bricked device and had to find the appropriate firmware. What if there are none for this country?
I wonder where to get the original thr firmware also. I flashed as i mentioned and all working great

So you flashed your THR model with the Egypt firmware and all ok? Good, I'll proceed with that as well.
South america i think. I found one that matched my csc letters, allmost. Check for the one for you.

Flashed MID country, but no unlock setting for s-view case. Not sure I had this option before though? Don't have the s-view case either, maybe that option shows up when the case is there?
that wasn't the case on my GS4, maybe someone can confirm??

Too late but maybe this is a help for other persons, You can flash: THR, ACR,MID,XSG,PAK,EGY,XFA,AFG,TMC,TUN ; All this firmwares are the same. Install "Phone Info app" to see the codes that you can flash. For Lollipop I have flashed Panama (TPA) and works ok.

Wrong section, this should be in Q&A.
Anyway, the problem is that the phone seems to have been rooted or another firmware seems to have been flashed to it. You can download the latest firmware from Samfirmware.com and then flash it through Odin (Many guides available online and on YouTube). That'll help your phone get to the latest updated firmware.

Is it possible to flash official stock firmware for Note 3 from region other than the original region of the phone? For example I have Note 3, N9005 from middle east (which has 4.3), can I flash a stock rom from a region for which 4.4.2 is available? Will this brick the phone? Will the phone be locked for that specific region in case flashing is successful? Any other problems? Did anyone did this before?
i have the same concern as yours, i have a Note3 and i am from the middle east can i download a stock rom from Europe for example Germany ??

Hello to all, I have a UK/BTU Note 3 and the kitkat update has not been out yet. I was wondering if I should update my phone with another country official firmware but I am not sure.
What are the cons of doing it?
Will I be able to have OTA updates after or I must download and flash updates myself?
Are there any other pros except that I will not have to wait more for the update? Are the firmware for some countries better than others? I heard that Poland's firmware is working better than any other?
Thank you very much

U will get update threw OTA only from country u flash, if u want to come back to BTU u must flash threw Odin, u waited for long & today branded UK firmware start seeding so it should not tack much longer time for BTU now, yes poland firmware is the one getting flash without issues of size & its stable also.

Thank you for clarifying it! if I remember correctly, 2 months ago on sammobile forums someone told me that I could not get OTA updates If I flash a different country firmware.
Are you sure I will be able to do it?
Maybe I will flash the polish firmware if I get Poland's OTA's because as I know Poland is always getting the updates first.
So it would be better for the future to get the updates without waiting so long...
Also as I see on sammobile there are two 4.4.2 firmware for Poland. Which one should I choose? (tried, but I cannot post links yet as I am new to the forum, sorry)
I Am 99% sure but I will ask anyway, flashing official Samsung firmware does not void my guaranty, am I correct?

There's a firmware for United Arab Emirates on SamMobile, why not flash that one? Assuming with UEA you meant United Arab Emirates, but the actual region code (in Kies) is one listed on SamMobile for that country, right?
I have a G900H with THR code, meant for Iran, but there's no firmware available for that device, so I'm not sure if I can flash another country or will automatically end-up with a bricked device?

If you can get Kies to connect, it should give you 3 codes, all starting with G900H. Mine where XXXU1... HOJV1... XXXU1... I then downloaded a firmware with the same initial codes, mostly the HOJV1 seemed to matter. Followed by country code in parenthesis. Might be worth checking if the country code matches your actual country? It seems matching CSC image version (HOJV1 in my case which was available in many countries) is enough to get a successful flash.
