[Q] Does the KitKat 4.4.2 update for the Note 3 SM-N9005 restricted to regions ?

Hi all,
I have the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, currenty running android 4.3, and I am waiting eagerly for the KitKat 4.4.2 update, but I'm afraid that because this specific model is not officialy sold im my country (Israel) and I bought it from abroad, that maybe the KitKat update will not reach my phone here in Israel.
Can someone please tell me if the official Samsung KitKat 4.4.2 update for this model (SM-N9005) is not region restricted, e.g. it has nothing to do with regions, and my phone will be updates via kies anyway ?

You Note will update from the Region that it was bought from, via OTA -- So if you got it from say, Germany, you'll receive German OTA update when it rolls out, same for X Y Z country.
I just did this and flashed the mexican CSC and locked my phone. I think if you keep the right CSC you'll be fine
Thanks

[Q] Installing Lollipop for Rooted 4.2.2 Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900)

So I've just rooted my 4.2.2 stock Galaxy Note 3 and I want to upgrade to Lollipop. To this day, LP was only released for Russia and India for SM-N900.
I want to know:
1) Would it be safe to flash these updates from SamMobile, knowing that the SM-N900 is the carrier free, "international" version of the Note 3 ?
2) If yes, are these localized for Russia/India or would I have all options that would be available in a standard English release ? (language is obviously my first concern)
3) If all of the above is fine, would updating by flashing with Odin require a data wipe of the phone, or can I just update and reboot my phone with all apps/data, etc.. as if I've updated using OTA? I want to keep everything I have on the phone as is.
Thanks for taking the time to answer !

US firmware on Canadian device?

Hello,
Wondering if I can update my girlfriends Canadian S5 (SM-G900W8) with the tmobile 5.1.1 firmware, or another country? The 5.0 update is causing quite a few problems on her phone, wondering if I can use another countries firmware because it will be a cold day in hell before Rogers, Bell or Telus sends out another update.
Thanks!
Yes, you can update it with with another country's firmware.

question : Is it possible to flash t-mobile n910t with n910g Stock rom

Hi
I have updated my t-mobile note 4 to marshmallow 6.0.1 from lollipop 5.1.1 and it proved to be a nightmare for me. Random freeze, occasional restart it just sucks, so I just downgraded from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1
