First your phone is fully unlocked? If yes you can use this Rom's to flash in it:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005 - I used this site and for me was very good
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=0#firmware - A lot of people say to me this is the original site for rom's-firmeware of SAMSUNG...
So you need now to chose from where you want to download AND chose from what region you want to have

Yes you can flash any of the firmware which is 4.4.2, but if you have snapdragon note 3, I don't know any region when you can get fast updates But I'm not sure sometimes if you change the firmware region maybe you can lose your IMEI...
So look at me I'm from Romania and my firmware is from Europe/United Kingdom/France and I don't lost my IMEI... I don't have romain firmware because have specific apps for that operator

- To get the latest firmware for N9005, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, open the menu 'Firmware Browser'. Enter SM-N9005 in Model textbox and leave CSC textbox blank. You will see a list of latest firmware.
- To check whether your phone is fully unlocked, see this thread. Tap on the code *#7465625# to check.

Galaxy S4 I9505 fresh KitKat

Hellou,
Recently I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. Unlocked and updated to KitKat 4.4.2. It was used i CH for a very short time, but now, it will be used in BiH. Somewhere I read that KitKat was distributed for different regions, so as phone is moved from CH to BiH, I want to do fresh install of KitKat.
From where should I download appropriate KitKat and what is the easiest way to install fresh KitKat, and also root my phone?
Informations can be seen in attachment.
1. Install Kies 3. Look for the 3 letters btw parenthesis close CSC. It will give u the code for know what firmware you have to download.
2. Go to Sammobile.com, log and sig in (pic 1)
3. Look for your firmware and download it
4. Flash it through ODIN like in the pic attached 2
5. Enjoy it

Now I have a problem. My Galaxy S4 I9505 is updated to KitKat 4.4.2 and I need to insert SIM card from BH Telecom (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
And KitKat 4.4.2 is not yet available for BH Telecom. Assume I should downgrade my phone to 4.3, as it is last version available for BHT.
But I read about many problems with downgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.3
What should I do?

1. Unlock ur phone thorugh IMEI. You can find a lot of pages in Internet that do this cheap.
2. You cant downgrade ur phone without millions of problems (signal lost, no sound, no wifi, random reboots....). Dont do it :highfive:

I messed up updates related to regions and operators. My phone is unlocked as I mentioned above, so I can use my BHT card, so you can ignore my previous post. But what about updates? I must wait every time those updates for CH region?
Can someone give detailed explanation what these distributions according to region mean? Why there is not ONE OFFICIAL ANDROID DISTRIBUTION for specific phone model?

[Q] Flashing stock

Hello,
Firstly i searched the forum for a good answer but didn't find one. Sorry in advance if this question has been already answered and i didn't see the thread \ post.
I would like to change my firmware from 4.2.2 NB5 ORO CSC to 4.2.2 ND5 ( or the latest ) NEE CSC. Is that possbile via odin without changing my CSC ? I mean if i just flash it directly will it work ?
My phone is not rooted and i know that in order to change the CSC i have to rood it. My phone is also locked on my carrier, Orange.
Thank you and sorry if this is a repost of something similar.

You can flash the ROM without updating your CSC IF the AP file does not contain the CSC file. If the ROM does not specify in its name that it only includes XXX or YYY without any mention of CSC, then you're fine (Assuming you download from Sammobile). If it does say something related to CSC codes or there are 3 model numbers (different or not) on the file name, then it includes the CSC.
You don't need to root to change CSC. You need the Samsung dialer code + your IMEI number, which will factory reset your phone but change your CSC.

This is the ROM i wanted to flash. I'm not quite sure if it includes or not what you said. It should be NEE CSC so i think i can't flash it...right ? :-s
If i can't flash it, can you give me a link to an example firmware that i can flash, other than my stock ORO CSC rom ?
The dialer code + IMEI doesn't work for me. I tried * # 272 *IMEI # and it says the code is invalid. Maybe because i'm branded on Orange ?

That is a full ROM. It includes everything - AP, CP and CSC.
I don't understand, do you just want to get rid of your ORO CSC ROM? You should be able to install your NEE ROM perfectly fine.

Yes, i want to fully get rid of this ROM because updates on this CSC are so friggin slow it's driving me mad. I want to completly move to NEE ROM. So i can flash this ROM perfectly with the instructions on Sammobile in the link right ?

You'll have to unlock your phone first on a website, then you're free to install any ROM from any country. If not it will still be locked to Orange.

No problem about that, i am still gonna be on Orange anyway. I don't want to unlock it just want to get a different ROM with a newer build number so i can (probably) get away from this stupid battery drain.

Give it a go, if you can't get it to work, just reflash your stock Orange.
The absolute worst thing that could happen is that KNOX would go 0x1, but you will still get your updates. If that happens, you should really just use custom ROMs, they're wonderful and updates more often.

I know about custom ROMs and i've been looking and them and i really wish i would have the gut to just screw my warranty but i can't do it just now. I've had some problems with my old Xperia Z and i'm lucky i had custom roms but on locked BL so i could claim my warranty. I can't even root it and it's just killing me but meh...
okay, i'll give it a go thanks for the advice and time spent answering to me ! Cheers !

CSC is your region\carrier customization. It dictates what your updates are , what they contains and when you get them . I want to change it but i know ( i might be wrong about this ) that it's only possible via rooting, wich i can't do atm
OK so i flashed the NEE straight on my NB4 ORO firmware and it worked flawlessly.
So for everybody that is asking this: you can flash any full ROM with any CSC on top of any other CSC . This is my experience and i hope it goes well with you ! Good luck !

CSC is Customer Sales Code. You want to change it when you want to debrand/debloat your phone by removing carrier-specific apps or update it to another carrier's update stream (to get a different carrier's upgrades). It also allows for you to get correct APN values if your carrier's auto assign doesn't work properly.
You don't need root to change it, you need Odin and the CSC package. You can use the Samsung code + IMEI as a last resort.

Good job man! But you have to be aware, I did some research before you did it. It does not apply to all devices. As the Russian ORO and Nordic Countries are the "same" region, I automatically assumed you bought your device in Europe, hence you won't be region locked out of your device. If you had a Hong Kong device you will have to take account for your storage difference (whether its 16GB or 32GB) as ROMs are usually for the 32GB PIT (bootloader), and any flashing of other region based ROMs COULD brick your device.

Nice find , thanks for pointing it out. I don't think I have a region lock, it didn't have any of the stickers that usually say it's region locked. But yea, my version is from Europe.
p.s. ORO is from Romania

I can only see SER and MGF CSC on sammobile . It doesn't matter anyway because it seems in the end it's ok to flash anything inside your region

Lollipop update for SM-530H with Russian version

Hello guys,
I have a samsung galaxy grand prime, and I want to update it to Lollipop. Unfortunately, there's no firmware update to lollipop in my country/region. I noticed that there's an update for this device in Russia or India region. I wanna install one of those firmware in my device. Is it okay, although I'm not from India or Russia?

It's G350H. And the baseband is XXU. I know about that, but I'm still not sure that's safe. Is there any risks if I flash it to any region firmware though my region firmware isn't available yet?

Hi argounaut! There's nothing really risky about updating from another region as long as it's the right firmware for your phone. I usually update just like this 'cause my region doesn't give anything at all. My first was from Russia and then I updated my firmware from Uzbekistan and then flashed the latest build from Panama. All of it are 5.0.2 (Lollipop) and I haven't had any problems at all upgarding from other regions :good:
(EDIT: And I have the same SM-G530H as you, so no need to worry about risks)

Not really, but you have to root it again after every update beacuase you will lose root access. And for the best firmware so far, I think you should always go with the newest build every time you update:good:

Hi man! I don't know if it's going to void your warranty but, I do know that flashing firmware from official updates from other regions are totally ok. If it's a custom rom or your phone is rooted, well I can't really assure you with your question

Can i flash my samsung s10 plus with different region stock os using odin without bre

I bought my mobile from UAE and am using it in india. When i compare my s10 plus with s10 indian variant , s10 front camera quality far beter than my s10 plus.so i m planning to flash indian region os using odin and have some doubt on this. Please some one clear my doubts
1. Will knox service get tripped, if i flash indian os using odin.?
2. Is this issue occurs due to different region os or hardware fault
3. If knox gets tripped, will it be fixed later ?
Thanks

Yes you will get OTA after flashing a stock firmware using Odin
Use the main CSC file (not the HOME-CSC) if changing region
I always enable OEM Unlock in developer options before attempting to change CSC with Odin (disable OEM Unlock again after you have completed flash to enable full security)
You can only flash a firmware file that matches your model Variant
E.g. you cannot flash 975F firmware to an 975U model etc
Finally be aware your phone will be wiped after the flash completes so backup everything before you start. Good luck
Thanks a lot for your reply. And i am not get your points about CSC...can you please explain little more

Firmware for Odin flash contains 2 CSC files. The HOME_CSC file will NOT erase your device, the CSC one will. However as you are changing CSC code it is best to use the normal CSC file and allow your device data to be erased as it’s not a good idea to mix data and settings between different firmware
Hope this helps and good luck
Thanks for your reply
