Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy Note 3 that I bought off the internet (I know, but it was a good deal!). Unfortunately I didn't check before hand and the phone is Australian. I would like to get English Android on it so it works properly over here (still running on Jelly Bean as there is no update for Ausie software). What is the best way of doing this and what are the pro's and con's of doing so? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
Stu

Hey Stuj79,
Do you have your exact model of your Note 3? You can see this in Settings > General > About device > Model number
Sincerely,

Thanks for the reply. It's a SM-N9005

What is your CSC?
Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get all major info about the phone. It is important to know when you are going to flash another stock firmware.

What's CSC?

CSC = Consumer Software Customization, also known as: Sales Code, or Region Code
It is very important when you want to flash the stock firmware.
Open 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app, you will see the 'CSC INFO' section.

Ok, just downloaded that app."Original", "Firmware and "Active" CSC codes are XSA, CSC country is Australia and Production code is SM-N9005ZKEXSA. Any help to you?

Go to 'Firmware Browser' menu to get the latest firmware.
Or you can get firmware from the other regions, e.g. BTU (United Kingdom). Just enter 'BTU' in the CSC textbox and tap 'Go' button.

Nice one.....where can I find the Firmware browser? Been looking but can't see it anywhere

Great tip. Didn't know that such an app existed. Would have been useful last week when I screwed up my CSC. I had to mess with Odin to get it back to normal.
Are you the creator of this app?

Ok, I have Odin V3.09 open the computer, I am currently downloading the firmware I would like to flash. Just out of curiosity, how much info will I loose from my phone when I start this, i.e. apps, pictures/photo's, messages?

All done. Was a lot quicker and easier to do than I thought. I know have UK software and not Aussie and have finally upgraded to KitKat. Yipee! Thanks for your help

I think is a clone coz the build N900DDUEBOB1 don't exist on the official firmware releases. You can:
1. Install this APP.
2. Go to MENU and select REFURBISHMENT CHECK.
3. It will tell you if is a clone or original.

Be relaxed coz you can flash what I was telling you without issues. Your PDA is different coz you or other person tried to flash other firmware different (I supose the firmware with the CSC: INU (India) that use N900XXUEBOD1). But your CSC is INS. The root process don't work coz your device have different PDA, Baseband and CSC and only you can solve it matching them with the process exposed above.

1. The IMEI is clean. Your device don't detect your SIMCARD on the pics you added. Do you know that?
2. Backup your important internal data on your computer and Factory reset your device too (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything).

Sim card is not inserted becouse the problem with not registered on network.
Ive already factory resetd the device

Check the file /system/CSCVersion.txt for info on currently loaded CSC.
You can also cross-reference this info with getprop or the folder /system/csc.
