Hello,
I need to ask if There is any possibility to remove branded applications, and general system
three.uk operator, so that seemed normal as the normal S4.
I bought a phone with root, so this is not necessary, but I'm not sure if it's somehow going to make
and do not know how. TouchWiz does not bother me so or if there is a original samsung rom.
Thank you very much for your answers and advice

You can Flash with the BTU version of XXUBMGA and keep a pre Knox version of 4.2.2 If you want 4.3 you can Flash with a Knox version of the BTU Rom on XXUEMJ7. If you want 4.3 pre Knox you will have to read the forums to find the best option for you. Both of these options definitely work on a 3UK i9505 Galaxy S4

Hey guys..
So I was trying to install a Korean Note 3 4.2.2 firmware (SM-N900S) on my Australian Note 3 (SM-N9005) using ODIN but was a failure.. It wouldn't proceed, saying "failed" so I gave up and instead of that I've installed UK Note 3 4.2.2 (SM-N9005)..
But I still want to install Korean firmware on my phone!!
So does anyone have any idea why this was a failure??
Is it because the model name is different?? (Will changing the model name by rooting help?)
From my past experience, I was able to install international firmware even without changing the model name..

If you need any information about my phone (version etc.) Please ask!!
So I'm currently on UK BTU 4.2.2 (SM-N9005) and trying to install Korean SKT 4.2.2 (SM-N900S).
*This isn't a custom rom!!
Please help..
Thanks!!

The boot sequence in modern phones is secure/restricted (and Odin also tries to enforce it even before the boot - to stop you from writing bad stuff).
Basically the bootloader is different (something that you can also see even on the same N9005 model when going from 4.3 to 4.4 - 4.4 does not work with old 4.3 bootloader and currently there is a restriction which stops you from downgrading the bootloader).

But I'm not trying to downgrade.. Will it still not work..?
Also then, is there any other way to break this restriction?

No, you can't flash Korean rom on your N89005...
Hi guys i wanted some advice on firmware/towel root please.
I got my s5 g900f on uk vodafone running Lolipop 5.0 BNL9 firmware.
I want to downgrade it to stock Kitkat 4.4.2 using odin so that i can use towel root to root it with knox 0x0.
I read there are 2 official stock Kitkat firmwares that towel root works on, ANCE & ANE2. Therefore i need to flash either.
Can someone please tell me which firmware out the 2 above is more stable and has better battery life? Should i flash the ANCE which is the official out of the box firmware or should i flash ANE2 which is the 1st update that came to the device?
Also could someone confirm that after the downgrade, if will i have any modem or wifi issues? Thank you

Hi all,
I currently own a sim free Samsung galaxy S5 Device model: SM-G900F. I'm on contract with EE in the UK and they're currently offering WIFI calling, but only on their EE devices. Does anyone know if I can flash the stock EE ROM on my S5 SM-G900F? and if so how I'd go about finding it?
Thank's in advance.
So I basically need to convert my SM-G900F into an SM-G900T. Is this possible?
I found this EE firmware. Should I be pretty safe flashing it? It has the same model number as mine but it's an EE firmware so I'll be able to get my WIFI calling. http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/Galaxy+S5/United+Kingdom/
Yes, it's safe flashing it with that firmware.
Thank you.
The rom your link goes to is a 4.4.2 2014 rom go to sammobile.com and search for the latest EE rom for the G900F you can't convert an F to a T version either latest EE rom should be PDA G900FXXU1POD1 CSC G900FEVR1POD1 after flashing the rom you will need to do a factory reset on the phone
I have an unrooted, stock Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) on 4.4.2 and would like to upgrade to AryaMod v8.1.

What would be the best way to upgrade the ROM. I had a look and CF-Auto Root (which I believe I need for installing the recovery) only works on Lollypop 5.0 for N9005, which I have not yet got the update. Would it be better to wait for the official update for my carrier (Vodafone Australia). If I install an update for 5.0 (any suggestions for a good firmware) from another region, would it be compatible?
I have tried towelroot, and it does not work (I believe there was an update which blocked it).
If anyone has updated from the Vodafone AU phone, or from 4.4.2, any tips is most welcome.
Rooting is not required to install a custom recovery.
You need to install a custom recovery such as twrp to install a custom rom.
You could install twrp using Odin.
