[Q] Which region?

Hello,
I'm a little confused about which region SM-N9005 I have.
In phone settings -> about device it shows:
Model number: SM-N9005
Baseband version: N9005XXUBMI5
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7
In Kies,
Current firmware version: PDA:MI7 PHONE:MI5 CSC:MI7 (TGY)
Latest firmware version: PDA:MJ8 PHONE:MJ4 CSC:MJ8 (TGY)
After a little research I have found out that TGY is the region code for Hong Kong, and the Build number seems to verify this.
But what about Baseband version? Doesn't XX mean European region?
I bought this phone on eBay. So its quite possible someone fiddled with it to make it work here (BTW I'm in UK).
Can anyone shed any light, before I flash the wrong region firmware via ODIN and brick my phone?
Also I have CF-Auto-Rooted (Thanks Chainfire), which is why I'm not updating through Kies.
Thanks to all in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but I'm still unsure which Region firmware I need to flash. (I'm talking about stock firmware here).
If I flash The Hong Kong firmware, will my phone still work here in the UK? Will it change my phone language to Chinese?
I understand flashing the wrong region for your device could result in a brick. Is this correct?
I really would like a definitive answer before I do something stupid.
Thanks all

Update
Just a quick update..
I read through the entire CF-Auto-Root thread (50 pages!). A couple of posts mentioned that I could update through Kies if I first factory reset my phone.
I did so, and the update succeeded! I then proceeded to CF-Auto-Root again, to regain root access. Joy!
Now my 'About device' screen looks like this:
Baseband version: N9005ZHUDMJ4
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUDMJ8
A couple of questions.
The baseband version is not correct for my region (UK, Europe (XX))
Will this have adverse effects on my connection to networks?
Is it possible to flash only the correct baseband? If so, how?
Thank you all for taking time to help me

Which Note 3 SM-N9005 version do I have?

Hi,
I have soft bricked my phone while following all steps to install ROM via CWM and now I'm trying to install STOCK Rom via ODIN but I have no idea which version I need to download.
All I know is its a SM-N9005 2.3Ghz Quad Core, LTE, 32Gb, FCC ID A3LSMN9005, SSN N9005GSMH
It had no region lock. I bought the phone from Kogan and it was shipped from Hong Kong.
I have tried flashing the Hong Kong ROM N9005ZHUDMK1_N9005ZZHDMK1_N9005ZHUDMJ9_HOME.tar.md5 which I downloaded from samfirmware.com but that didn't work.
I have tried following this guide http://lockyep.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/technology-ultimate-guide-to-unbrick-16.html but that didn't work plus there was no PIT file in the zip anyway
At current, I have CWM 6.0.4.4 as when I tried to flash CWM 6.0.4.7 it wouldn't boot into recovery.
Is there any way I can find out which firmware version I need to download? On my HTC I was able to by using adb and get the CID but don't know how to do that with a note 3
Thanks for your help in advance

You'd probably have a Stock HLTEXX SM-9005
Go into about phone and Match the Baseband Version to the one you want to update to, at least until the last 3 characters
E.G. Baseband Version: N9005XXUDMJ7 Is mine.
In fact post me yours?

I can't go into about phone as it's soft bricked....

If you flashed a non HK phone with a HK ROM then you're gonna have issues, find the correct PIT file then re-flash your chosen firmware (you'll have to figure out if yours is a HK model now though) HK firmwares do not play well with any other N9005, Countless people having issues with HK models.

Hi mabrady85,
Sounds similar to what I did, good reputation ebayer pretending to sell Australian phones (item location = Australia etc.) but it shipped from Hong Kong.
My device stopped registering on the network a few days ago after months use. It's not rooted, fully stock. Still trying to understand why. Anyways here is my "about device" information in case it helps you recover the bricked phone:
From about device:
Model number: SM-N9005
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: N9005ZHUENB5
Kernel version: 3.4.0-763416

Hi,
Thank you for that. Ive attempted to go to the settings and see if the update is there manually and i get a message that says " Software has stopped working". I think i need to flash the phone entirely. Is there a stock odin file out for this update that I can flash via odin for my device?? If not, i have been unable to locate the AP, CSC files and the 2 other that I need to flash the device back o stock. Can anyone assist? Im just worried about not flashing the right file and bricking it.

-Help- Trying to find correct stock Os

Hi and thank you for your time.
I´ve performed an advanced wipe with TWRP without a back up (thought i had) so i´ve got no OS and now i just want my stock firmware back installed.
I found several stock roms in another web site with csc and pda codes and I don't know wich one i should install.
Also i don´t know what info is relevant to answer the questions i have made. What i do have is:
Model SM-J320M
FCC ID
SSN
Country it was made Argentina
CNC ID
IMEI
S/N
And that the phone it self is not related to any comunication company but my service provider is CLARO
ps. I´ve contacted samsung support and the answer was to take it to a support center but i need to learn if im gonna keep messing with my phone..besides i'm broke ha!

The site firmware.gem-flash.com offers downloads known as the 4files.
You don't have to download there, but they do list the 4 needed files, which may help in getting you the versions you need.
