It's not Knox. Save yourself the hassle of waiting for an OTA by downloading and installing Android 5.0.1 through Odin.
I forgot to mention I bought my s4 sim free unbranded from shop so I thinked that I will get OTA first and I cant flash it via odin becuase my computer is broken

Croatia has gotten LP yeah. But i believe it is only for Croatia (TELE2) customers. Hang on tight it should arrive "soon".
If ya can't wait, head over to your buddies house. Download odin 310 and head over to sammobile.
follow flash instructions all over google.
@z1k4: There's always Mobile Odin as an option.
But for mobile odin root is needed and my phone is not rooted

Then I guess you're going to a friend's house and borrowing their computer.
If I flash lolipop firmware via odin I must do factory reset, i'm right? Which firmware shell I use my phone is i9505 ,bought it factory unlocked white?

You should make a backup of your data before starting, but it's not necessary to factory reset beforehand as the ROM install will do that automatically. If your S4 is unlocked, either of the unbranded 5.0.1 ROMs for the I9505 that were mentioned here on the forums will work for you. Both should include Croatian language support, but where you're on the European mainland rather than the UK, the DBT ROM might be a better choice than the BTU ROM.

Hi guys. I flashed the romanian firmware when I was on 4.2.2 and the I updated on ota and I don't know how I got to britain. Now I have 4.3 and I want to change from britain firmware to the romanian one because it recieves much faster ota updates and it actually is my country. I want to download the os from sammobile. The question is: will that void my waranty? I want to download from sammobile so it's official, but I am not sure about that if I flash the firmware my waranty will remain. Thank you very much!

Your KNOX will always 0x1, so at first download official firmware from sammobile.com than download odin, in AP choose your extracted firmware md5 file and flash it after successfully flashing it must say PASS! when your phone finishes booting go to recovery and factory reset.

Is there a selection of firmware which I will download or I will just select for the Note 3 9005? Since this is the first time doing that kind of flashing and rooting.. BTW after I flash the firmware and factory reset I can proceed in rooting?
yes go to firmwares and choose what region you want I have n900 but on n9005 I preffer BTU britain firmware, after that you can root your phone using cfautoroot

Can I flash directly for Kitkat? Or do I need to flash the original firmware first before I update to kitkat. Sorry for asking too much question newbie here Lol!
no problem if I know I share my opinion you can flash whatever you want, if you want KK or JB but you must know that you can't downgrade kitkat to jellybean so you choose

Afternoon,
If I have an unlocked version on the s4 non branded and bought from the UK which firmware should I download?
I just want to unroot my s4 so it gets updates again.
Model is GT-I9505.
I have read the unroot section and i'm pretty cool about everything but is it the BTU firmware version I should use?
Cheers
Paul
Yes BTU would be fine. Flash with odin then wipe factory reset

hey guys:
so here are some questions about mobile odin app on my SM-G900F
1- so if i root my phone and then open mobile odin i will be able to flash any firmware using my mobile only? ( on the same model SM-G900F ofcourse)
2-my firmware according to samsung kies is NE2 (LEB) it means lebanon in the middle east, can i flash the firmware NG2(uk) via odin?
3-does cf-root by chainfire works when im on NG2 firmware? i mean does it root my device when im on latest firmware?
so those are my questions, i just want to make things clear to not get my phone in trouble
thanks in advance my friends :fingers-crossed:
I didn't try Mobile ODIN so far on my S5 but this is how it is supposed to work.
I did flash latest UK stock rom & it works perfectly. I am in middle east as well by the way. Also rooted my G900F using Cf-root on NG2 with no problem. Just as you may know, this will hit the Knox counter which is unrecoverable so far.

Hello guys i have a samsung LTE note 3 , singapore version.
I am using the phone in India.
there are many note 3 that have got the lollipop version.
baseband N9005DXUGNK1
version 4.4.2
1. can i flash the UK (vodafone) lollipop version on my phone via ODIN ?
2. will it trip my knox after flashing?
3. Will i have to unlock my phone after flashing to use Indian sim? (because when i got the phone i did not have to unlock it)
Better if you flash poland one.

What is the reason that I should flash Poland? Because I have already downloaded the UK version .
And is it safe to flash
