If you are on N9005 download this ROM, for N900 download this ROM.
then Flash using PC ODIN.
or
Mobile ODIN if you want it to be rooted.
thanks.

No worries. You don't need root for update. Use odin to flash the rom.

As long as you flash Stock firmware you'll never lose warranty.
Use ODIN. Your data will not get wiped . Don't worry.

If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

How to use Odin see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414.
Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.
hi all. I will be thankful if u can help me.

Have you got the correct drivers installed by Kies? Tried another usb port (no hub)? Are you using the original usb cable?

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done
Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?
You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it
this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.
follow this simple guide .

IF you are now on 4.4.2 So just Flash N9005 4.4.2 ROM no matter which country but check to install firmware of that country with fewer bugs...

are u using google translate to post in here? well..it's hard to understand what u want..
because u already rooted, u can't update via ota..download the update manually and then flash via odin..to update ur firmware, just downlaod the N910F one and there is no international firmware..
or maybe u can ignore the update and wait for android 5.0 later

as far as i know it should be fine, because usually they all have the same firmware. but if u're afraid, maybe wait someone who also have N910F to reply later.
or like i said, just wait for 1-2 months for android 5.0
these update basically not that important though

[Q] How to update my software while rooted?

Hello guys, Is there anyway to update my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rooted to the latest android version lollipop? I rooted it 1 year ago so it's still kitkat. So, again. Is there any other way to update my phone without downloading roms from the developer section? Thanks in advance! If there's no way, What is the current best rom for my phone?

By default it will not delete data using Mobile ODIN, But it's good to do hard reset if you upgrade to Lillipop.
For rooting Lillipop by keeping Knox 0x0 you can use MOP.
this method. Lollipop
If you are on N9005 download this ROM, for N900 download this ROM.

Remove your battery for 2 minutes, then turn it on into Recovery mode, clear cache and reboot again.
If still issue is present then again go into recovery and wipe data.

Printed model is : SM-N9005
In about info phone model is : SM-N900S
The real model # can be found by putting the phone into download mode.

I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.

yes ..

Thanx
If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
