What country code are you on now? This German (DBT) suppose to be for unbranded phones, but people have problems flashing this. Keeps getting fail in Odin. I'm having this too and I'm standing back for the moment awaiting solution.
You can flash the Polish (XEO) NB3 and the file can be downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares

Couple of questions
1- The poland firmware works for sure? or does that render odin to fail as well?
2 - Can i install 4.3 firmware stock? if yes can you pls share a link.

The sammobile.com/firmwares are for all Samsung phones. Fill in N9005 in the fw search box to search firmwares.

There is no returning to 4.3 once you have upgraded your bootloader to 4.4.2

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?

Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

Thanks Radicalisto.
Lets see how it goes. Fingers crossed.

Normally after the odin flash, all apps/data etc are there? If not what is the best/tried method of backup without root?
Thanks

Does this rom suffer from any battery drain issues? or in general any issues? this isnt beta so i suppose none should exist.

No drain issues no, pretty decent build tbh.

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds

[Q] Not Getting Official OS Update!

Hello, I'm from India and today I received my brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 which I had ordered online earlier. Currently it's running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean but when I'm checking for Software Updates, it says "The latest updates have already been installed". But I know that Android 4.4.2 KitKat is already available in my country and also my device's product code is INS. Being pretty confused I installed the "Genuine Galaxy - Phone info" app from Google Play Store to check whether I received a fake S4 but it says that it's a genuine S4. Then what makes it unable to receive any update?
Please help me.
Thanks.

You'll get it. Give it some time. Otherwise you can install kies and try it out from there.

Can anyone suggest me that how much time it may take?

Is it Safe bro? Does the FOTA work after installing the update in that manner? And does the Air Gesture, Air View etc. work properly after updating in this manner? Please guide me step by step.
Thanks.

Download the firmware package and extract the
zip file. You will get a .tar.md5 file and some other files.
[Download link 1 , 2 ]
Step 2: Download Odin v3.09 , and extract the zip file.
You will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.
Step 3: Run Odin3 v3.09 as an Administrator.
Step 4: Switch off the Galaxy S4 and boot it into
Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down,
Home and Power buttons.
Step 5: Connect the Galaxy S4 to the computer via the
USB cable and wait until a blue sign appears in Odin.
Step 6: Click on the AP button in Odin and select
the .tar.md5 file that was extracted in Step 1.
Step 7: In Odin, ensure that the Auto Reboot and F.
Reset Time options are checked
Step 8: Now, click on the Start button in Odin to begin
the installation process.
Step 9: After the installation is complete u will see PASS in odin, the device
will restart automatically.
Step 10: Once you get pass on odin you can unplug the device from the computer
and close Odin

Oh! Thanks a lot.

Last day, I sent a mail to Samsung too. But they say that the update is currently available to particular S4 devices with particular baseband versions which are: XXUFNB3, DDUFNA4, ODDFNB3, I9500XXUFNC1, I9500YDDFNC2, I9500DDUFNA4 & I9500XXUFNC1.
But my Baseband version is: I9500DDUBMF8
Eh! What kind of a dumb thing is Samsung doing here?
Does anyone have any idea regarding this?
Please respond.
Thanks.

[SOLVED][Q] Questions about GT-S5363

Hey xda!,
I own a Galaxy Y (GT-S5363) with O2 Germany branded device. I am interesting to flash a Custom ROM on it but they are all for GT-S5360
Now my questions :
1. Can i simply flash a custom ROM (like CyanogenMod 7.2) on my GT-S5363 without getting problems?
2. Can i flash a GT-S5360 firmware over GT-S5363 via Odin3?
I didn't find anything in forums that can help me.
I hope you guys can help me with my questions and thanks in advance

I don't really know about custom roms for your device but see the 3rd comment in the thread in the below link :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395282
Edit :- I think you can use s5360 roms on your device... however i cannot assure you that they will work.
source :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575886

from memory of reading other posts in the past the 5363 is just a regional varient and you can flash 5360 firmware on it but do it at your own risk - no one here will take any responsibility if you damage your phone

Yup, some older custom roms are also supposed to work on your device.

if you want to change your baseband you need to split the firmware into pda csc and modem
