I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900.
I didn't receive any update of lollipop on my device yet.
It is made in Vietnam and I live in Pakistan.
Kindly guide me how to update my device to lollipop (Official). Also, my device is not rooted and don't want to.
Did you try looking for the stock firmware on Sammobile.com?

I checked, but I didn't understand which one is suitable?
My mobile is made in Vietnam so should I download Vietnam firmware?

With 4.4.2 you'll remain on KitKat. Download and install a stock firmware of any other country with Android version 5.0 or above.

If I install Rom of any country then my phone will be blocked.. Isn't it?
If not than kindly send me link to download Rom. I live in Pakistan and device is made in Vietnam.
You can install the Samsung Info App from the Play Store to find out everything about your phone.

Your phone will not be locked if you install a ROM of another country.

So, practically everyone I know has already updated their Samsung S4 to 4.3
None of them have had their phones rooted, but I decided to root my phone to get some apps that required root access.
With that in mind, KIES no longer recognizes my phone when I connect it and says it's an unsupported device.
Trying to update the phone from the 'Software update' in the actual phone doesn't give me a message regarding 4.3's release.
So, I was wondering, does having my phone rooted (I also have CWM custom recovery installed) break KIES and not allow me to update to 4.3
I really want to install the new firmware.
Any advice/help?

Where do I get the stock version from though?
I bought the phone from the United Arab Emirates and currently reside in Jordan, Middle East.
Does this information change anything at all?

You have an i9500. Go to sammobile.com and you can download the firmware. You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file. Use that file in Odin, PDA slot

Can you get me a link? I'd be extremely grateful, as it stands I get extremely confused when I go to that website because I can't tell which firmware to download as I'm unsure which one relates to my country.
Also will this remove my root access?

Goto www.sammobile.com. Look for the firmware that ends in mg9
I went to the website and clicked check firmware, according to that I have the most recent baseband version for my phone 'United Arab Emirates - LYS'
Is it possible that 4.3 just hasn't arrived to this version yet, because according to that website it just isn't available for download yet.

For the UAE 4.3 is available for one carrier but not the other. I don't know what carrier you're on

Yeah, you can see from my baseband version that I'm on LYS.
'United Arab Emirates - LYS' Is what I'm on.
Apparently all my friends are on XSG, or the I9505 which already has 4.3 available.
I don't see why having root access wouldn't let me install 4.3 through the software update on my phone so I'm assuming it just isn't out yet?

If you're in EU (europe) select Poland, there's KitKat for SM-N910C. Just checked

Is your phone carrier branded ?
Ask them.
Is the system rooted? If 5.0 stock ROM is available from sammobile.com, you could flash it via Odin.

I think your device is from some of the countries that still without android lollipop (Iran, Israel (Cellcom) or Panama) if the latest updates have already been installed. You can install this APP and verify it by yourself.

Friends, is it possible to downgrade n9005 back to kitkat? I am having many problems on 5.0.
I have searched the forum but could not find any step by step guide to do so.
I'd use Odin to install a 4.4 stock and work from there

That's all? Should I flash with odin? Are you sure? I read some where that lollipop can not be downgraded. Please someone confirm it. I don't want to brick my phone.

Worked for me without any issues. Obviously you need to unlock the bootloader etc again afterwards as it just becomes stock but I've gone from 4.4 to 5 and back again several times.

Yes just be aware that you are not using older kit kat firmwares..
I personally use n9005xxugng1 firmware to downgrade
And do a backup cause factory reset is needed
