[Q] Can update N9005XXUGNG1 4.4.2 Austria A1 to N9005XXUGBOB6 .0 POLAND XEO?

hi
I had problems during reflash n9005 before.
i had version N9005XXUFNG2 and wanted to update to Poland XEO version N9005XXUEND3. Somebody reply me i can use it and i almost kill my note3 during flash.
Then somebody explain i cant downgrade from NG2 to ND3 so i reflash back to correct version and let i to wait.
question 1:
my current firmware is N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5, phone is probably from Austria A1 network (i bought it in local store with papers)
now there is update to android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:
Code:
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country Poland

if YES, which file should i use B6 or A5 (i think B6 but update from Austria A1 for n9005 is A5)?
question 2:
my second N9005 is problably from Ireland Meteor still with 4.4.2 currect: N9005XXUENC2_N9005METENB1_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5
Can i now update to 5.0 Poland XEO from same upper links version B6 or A5 ?

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.
Regards

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.

Help for downloading fimware

Hello guys,
i just want to ask what country my G900F came from?
G900FDXU1BOC2
can i download this?
Philippines (Open Line) 5.0 G900FDXU1BOA2
i found it the exact firmware version:
G900FDXU1BOC2
can i use this to flash this firmware version:
Philippines (Open Line) 5.0 G900FDXU1BOA2

Mine is G900F also and since I'm from Greece I flashed the Greek one. When I flashed the factory firmware it worked. If its the same number exactly it all work.

Lollipop update solution

I found how to do to get lollipop on every grand prime. dont mind about baseband version. for région who dont get lollipop yet
My baseband was g530hddu and now am on g530hxxu2boh5
first search your actual baseband version on sammobile in section grand prime to see what is your country.
Second after fiding your country download the latest version of the firmware of ur country. It would be in pda hxcu or hxxu download and flash your mobile would be in the latest version of 4.4.4
Third now type in country on sammobile russia (ser)
See ur baseband and choose the 5.0.2 update who is appropriate it means if your 4.4.4 firmware baseband is g530hxxu, you choose a 5.0.2 firmware pda:g530hxxu

Looking at Samsung's update history... Hong Kong variant of n910u updates is released about 2-4 months later compared to the New Zealand variant. I would say we should get the update first week of December(?)

i updated the New Zealand version 5.1.1 of vodafone - i am trying the HD VOICE in Israel Orange but it's not working - i tried to enter the technical menu to AMR settings , but i cant change to AMR -WB , any suggestions?

Can I upgrade my 910U (5.0.1) having following firmware to 5.1.1 NZ ROM available at Sammobile:
My current Stock ROM
Bootloader Version:
N910UXXU1BOHC
PDA Version:
N910UXXU1BOHC
CSC Version:
N910UZZT1BOHC
Baseband Version:
N910UXXU1BOHC
What i understand is tht as ROMs for 910U serve more than one country (new zealand, hongkong, tiawan etc) so one can install ROMs for one country on an another country provided the Note 4 model is the same i.e. 910U.
Thnx

Should be fine as neither are network locked.

To downgrade your phone its not that easy, you can lose your IMEI.
