[Q] Just got S5 and needs help (G900FD) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys! I just bought a phone (Galaxy S5 G900FD) and its parallel imported as international version. Ofcourse its brand new.
I went to 'about phone' and it clearly says Arab emirates. I bought numerous of phones before and this is kinda look strange since I've never seen like any phone actually says like 'Arab emirates' below 'about phone' section. So I typed things I don't understand as below, please tell me what are those?
It says
1)
United Arab Emirates
TRA ID: 0016333/08
TA: 0000000000/00
2)
Security software version
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 1

Build Number
KOT49H.G900FDXXU1ANJ2
Is this phone safe to use? Can anyone tells me what those '4' sections meaning?
Thanks guys and sorry for my poor English!!! Thanks in advance!!

I'm base in New Zealand then do I need to get NZ rom to use a phone?

Use phone info app from playstore
U can find the CSC country there if u want to flash the most compatible firmeware
Unless n otherwise dont care about those info much bro
N it says your on kitkat 4.4.2
Update your device for lolipop if u want (u must revieve the OTA update)
Those are some buildnumbers from samsung @goufcustom
No u dont wanna flash the NZ rom
But Always flash the rom with original CSC code
For example mine it is BTU (UK n Ireland)
Find your original CSC code from phoneinfo app
It is not recommended but it is the best way

It's safe. Nothing to be afraid of.
I bought my S5 Duos in Dubai few days ago with the same info about UAE in the phone's about section.

You think I'm stupid maybe but.... New Zeland (TNZ) never gonna work if your phone is branded to France (Orange). No? It's normal that ODIN give you error everytime.
*Steps to follow:
1. Download the correct firmware to Orange (FRANCE): HERE.
2. Unzip and flash it via ODIN.
3. Buy a unlock code by IMEI and unlock your device.
4. Every SIM should work now (your device is international).
5. Done.

Nah all sorted - It was a case of finding the correct pit file to match the firmware, the phone was already on a different provider here in NZ so once I got the right one with the hidden partition all went well....

-Help- Trying to find correct stock Os

Hi and thank you for your time.
I´ve performed an advanced wipe with TWRP without a back up (thought i had) so i´ve got no OS and now i just want my stock firmware back installed.
I found several stock roms in another web site with csc and pda codes and I don't know wich one i should install.
Also i don´t know what info is relevant to answer the questions i have made. What i do have is:
Model SM-J320M
FCC ID
SSN
Country it was made Argentina
CNC ID
IMEI
S/N
And that the phone it self is not related to any comunication company but my service provider is CLARO
ps. I´ve contacted samsung support and the answer was to take it to a support center but i need to learn if im gonna keep messing with my phone..besides i'm broke ha!
