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

[Q] Galaxy S4 I9505 Original Help Needed

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Original
I am having the problem of not seeing the option in Network menu to enable 4G/LTE. I am running 4.3 right now. Our service provider Ooredoo in this country (Maldives) has released 4G and several others with the same model phone as mine can switch to 4G. I was wondering if there is any fix for this. I did hear about rooting the phone and deleting a file to fix this problem. I can't find out which file. and I have already downloaded a 4.3 firmware that said would fix the problem and flashed it. But there is no change.
And I am looking for the 4.4 Official Firmware for Galaxy S4 I9505 which can be used in my country.. Maldives.
And also is it possible to Downgrade the phone back to 4.3 after I flash 4.4?? From what I know so far it isnt.
I will post more information about the phone soon. Don't have it atm.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

I have the same phone/question.. Im really frusturated that no one has responded to this thread yet

I would assume it is similar to the sgh-i9505 because that is the international version. Download the app cpu-z and see if your hardware is the same as serannoltexx. If so then flash current twrp via Odin, use cf autoroot to gain for privileges then make a Nandroid and you are now safe to try flashing various s4 roms. Please know I am not an expert, s4 mini is my first android but I've been using it for a few years now.

[Q] Lollipop Galaxy S5

Hello guys...
I am waiting for the Lollipop update on my galaxy S5 for months now and till date nothing has happened. Above all there's only about 10 variants of the SM-G900F which are actually in this situation actually out of 100s. I decided to flash it on my own using ODIN. Please can anyone who is more at ease with the process than me give me the procedure to do so ( I have flashed custom roms on other phones in the past).
I would also appreciate if you could give me a direct download link for the OS if ever you have it. I had seen them in this forum once but forgot where and which keywords to type.
And also and most importantly could you advise me about which versions will be compatible with my country's networks i.e Mauritius.
My phone's details are :
Model SM-G900F
Model name GALAXY S5
Country Unknown

I'm base in New Zealand then do I need to get NZ rom to use a phone?

Use phone info app from playstore
U can find the CSC country there if u want to flash the most compatible firmeware
Unless n otherwise dont care about those info much bro
N it says your on kitkat 4.4.2
Update your device for lolipop if u want (u must revieve the OTA update)
Those are some buildnumbers from samsung @goufcustom
No u dont wanna flash the NZ rom
But Always flash the rom with original CSC code
For example mine it is BTU (UK n Ireland)
Find your original CSC code from phoneinfo app
It is not recommended but it is the best way

It's safe. Nothing to be afraid of.
I bought my S5 Duos in Dubai few days ago with the same info about UAE in the phone's about section.
