Hi everyone,
I have a question:
I have a Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005) that was purchased in the United Arab Emirates. Now, I want to upgrade the phone to either 4.4.2 or possibly 5.0. So I went to Sammobile trying to find the right version of the lollipop upgrade to flash it via Odin, but there's none for the United Arab Emirates.
So, if I start from the baseband version that I have which is xxudmj7 (from Bosnia and Herzegovina), which country's 5.0 upgrade could I take in order to be able to safely flash the upgrade and have the phone work without a problem? I live in Canada, so I would preferable seek an upgrade that would work with either LTE bands 17, 7 and 4.
If anyone can suggest which upgrade to download from Sammobile to flash, it would be appreciated. Since the phone is from UAE, I don't know whether there is a restriction to flash another country's version
Alternatively, could I be able to flash the leaked version via Odin like in here, with my phone?

Thank you!
You can use any rom for 9005. But Not Hong Kong one. All others.

Thank you. I will try that and report back. I'm assuming that you're advising me to install any because they are all the same aren't they? Since I live in Canada, would you have any suggestion as to which one would "better"?
Thanks again!

I recommend you wait for the official updates for avoid future problems.

There is new firmware on sam mobile. G900MUBU1ANE2_G900MUUB1ANE4_ALE
That's the newest unbranded. I tested by flashing this last night, it appears to be identical to the shipping firmware on my factory unlocked G900M. There is no non-Samsung bloat and language selection seems identical..
LOL I was in between flashes anyway. Wanted to see if there was another OTA to 4.4.3 as some carriers have released it, but there is not yet.
It's the first version of the unbranded firmware I've been able to find actually..all the others seem to be branded to a carrier of some form.
Thanks for that, I will download that ROM
Hello,
I'm about to purchase a Galaxy S5 G900I on eBay from Taiwan and I am was wondering if flashing the Australian equivalent ROM on the device would work? I am planning on using this phone with Virgin Mobile (who run off of the Optus network) so would I have a problem flashing the Optus Australia ROM? Should I just flash the generic Australian ROM? Or would doing either of these brick my phone?
Sorry for the noobish question and thank you in advance!
Cheers,
Bump?
Just to confirm, I want to change from Taiwan (BRI code) to Optus Australia (OPS code) firmware. Both firmware are designed to run on the G900I, so flashing the Australian ROM should be alright?
OKay then, well I found out that all should be good and it wont void the warranty since it's official Samsung firmware. I'm still wondering though, will I receive future firmware updates?

If it's not rooted then it will give you updates. If you root it then you'll have to flash any updates manually in odin. Also remember this simple rule: if a rom is for [INSERTMODELHERE] and your phone is [INSERTMODELHERE] then it is perfectly fine to flash it, no need to start a thread about it. This is the kind of question clueless people ask on yahoo answers. Smh. Next time dare to spend more of your own personal time on research and don't **** yourself when you see a mouse. Good luck cowboy :fingers-crossed:

Typically the Taiwan (BRI) and Hong Kong (TGY) models are NOT compatible with other models, so you may need the PIT file from the firmware you attempting to flash. Otherwise that may brick your device.
did you do this ?

What about csc? It remains as it was in original rom,right? Then OTA wont work,yes?
Up for ota question.
Cant you go back another rom if security version is lower?
And when you go back, will ota work?
if you intall another ROM the phone will rssult having the original CSC and the new one so OTA won't work.
to have the new CSC stick, you need to hard reset afte flashing, i read somewhere

Your original CSC ought to be XSG(UAE). Nevertheless, since you've flashed the SLK firmware, there is no need of worry. By the way, you may not be getting new update since the firmware might be already latest, as last update to Sri Lankan firmware arrived way back in January. Just see the attachment.

Thanks for the help. Will I get be able to get the updates if I flash the UAE rom?
SLK firmware is fulled with bloatware and I am not planning to root my phone again.

You'll get updates, provided Samsung releases a new one in the UAE region. Which I think won't probably happen as Galaxy J5's two year support period is nearly over.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend you to change the CSC to INS(INDIA) by dialing *#272*imei 1# on your phone dialer and then choosing INS as the Sales code. Keep in mind that by doing so your device'll reboot and wipe all the datas.
As far as I know, J500F used to get more frequent updates in India than any other country.
Tnx.
Hi
Which android version do you have?
J5 is not getting many updates.After the 6.0.1 update there may not be anymore.
Plus if your phone is not official then it wont get any more updates.
