Pit files are for base firmware and phone. You need a Lollipop PIT (I presume) for the N9005. And the best .pit is your own .pit which you can pull with adb.
And remember that .pit rhymes with s**t because USE PIT ONLY IN CASE S**T.
If you're on Lollipop already, you don't need a .pit and repartitioning, just Odin the Vodafone firmware.

So are you saying flash the unbranded polish rom first for lollipop as I'm currently on kit kat then flash the Vodafone lollipop after that? That doesn't make sense? I thought unbranded and branded devices had different partition sizes or am.i confused? Cheers Andy

You should probably have quoted your original post. It would've made things much clearer.
He's getting a size error in ODIN on flashing the branded ROM.
From what I've seen over the course of several updates where people had the same issue, that requires a pit file.
Some branded versions have a size difference, particularly between countries. UK Vodafone and BTU can usually be used interchangeably, because they're developed by the same local Samsung team. But trying a branded rom over a foreign unbranded ROM occasionally results in a filesize error when it concerns new Android versions.
The Note 3 had the same issue with DBT 4.4 over XEO. (which, interestingly, are both unbranded.)

So do you think I could go from kit kat uk btu to lollipop Vodafone? Or will a pit file be required - if I can find one?

[Q] Can I flash EVR CSC on BTU?

Hi all,
I'd like to put the EVR CSC on my BTU N9005 as it'll work better with my carrier, which is EE (the CSC here is EE). How can I go about doing this?
I tried flashing the EVR firmware in Odin but it gave me an Ext4 error.
Thanks!

If the EVR is a lower bootloader than you are currently on it won't work. ie: if your BTU is MJ7 and your EVR is MJ6 you cannot do it. Not sure if you can extract the modem though... it may work. Not 100% on modems myself and you can brick if you mess up. So be careful.
EDIT: BTU should have the same settings for EE though in the .xml, has all UK carriers wrote into it. - Modem however will be slightly different I suspect

Hi,
I'm on MJ7 and EE's firmware is also MJ7 so I should be fine.
Thanks for responding so quickly .
Hi,
I've tried flashing the firmware multiple times and I keep getting an error in Odin: hidden.img fails to flash (ext4 error). Can somebody help?
Hmm, not sure why it's doing that, you could try extracting the modem from within the file and flashing just that. -- I'd assess 100% that you need to though, how bad is your signal? - any non official case blocking it? - tried another sim?

Flashing Other Region /Csc Frimware is possible?

My phone is Galaxy A5(SM-500F)
PDA/Baseband:A500FXXU1AOC1
Region/CSC: KSA
android version :4.4.4
*can i flash leatest (5.0.2)firmware with other csc for this model??
and How to flash this?
You shouldnt have a problem, i received my phone with NEE CSC (nordic countries) and flashed the Cyprus one as it had newer build date.
Ps, when flashing with odin, and changing region, tick the Update Bootloader option.
Also, Branded or Carrier Roms (Vodafone, Tmo, etc) wont flash on Unbranded phones as they have different partition tables.
Remember to flash only roms for your variant strictly (SM-A500F)
Edit: Latest rom is Here, instructions how to flash are on the download page of the rom you choose.

Does flashing original samsung firmwares trigger knox counter? Like if i have a stock phone with KK 4.4 and flash the LL 5.0.2
will the knox counter get triggered ?
No worries, it wont. Odin is a samsung leaked tool, and the roms are samsung made packages, it is pretty much what Kies/Smart Switch do when they handle the phones.

Is it possbile to install European rom to TGY model without issues?

To make a long story short, I bought a motherboard for a note 3 from Hong kong (AliExpress). According to the seller, the motherboard was an European version, but it turned out to be a Hong kong model (TGY). I have nothing against Hong Kong, but I tried flashing a European rom 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin, but I was getting ext4 image errors. So, I flashed with a pit file and it went through, but wifi was greyed out, and there was no way to turn on Wifi. So, I reflashed TGY rom (4.4.2) with a pit file, and everything seems to work including Wifi.
BUT, I have an European rom (rooted, deodexed stock 4.4.2) with some modifications, and I would like to install this rom. Can someone suggest what I can do, to flash an European rom to a TGY model?

I think it's possible to use custom rom across any region. Only got problem when flashing with odin. With custom recovery should be fine.
Not really sure though.

Thank you.
I rooted and installed Philz Recovery. Then, I flashed a custom rom 4.4.2 (XEF). It flashes with no problem, but wifi was still greyed out.
Then, I followed this procedure. (Sorry. It is in French..)
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/188067-tuto-flasher-une-rom-europe-sur-note-3-hong-kong/
But, I got the same result with wifi greyed out.
As I have another N9005 (European version). I saved a pit file from this, and reflashed 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin. Still., wifi greyed out.
I made a comparison between the two Note 3, and I found out that the bootloader is different. So, I am trying to find a way to change the bootloader.
By the way, the European model is made in Korea, and the Hong Kong model is made in China.
If you have other suggestions, you are welcome.
Is it a N9005 motherboard or some other version ??
