Model SM-N9005
Product code SM-N9005ZWETGY
PDA N9005ZHUDMK1

Can I download the XEF ROM for France (international ROM: not operator dependant) and install it with ODIN?
Thanks for your help

As it's a HK Note, you have to go do some reading as they work differently to the Intl Note 3, @FeralFire has been looking into ways to help HK note users flash different firmwares, click his name in this post, and check his post history and read what he has wrote. He also has a guide to help you through errors which occur on the HK note.

Thanks for your quick help. Seems rather complicated..... I'll read everything and try to understand...
It's not yet clear to me whether I can turn this Hong Kong version in an "normal" international version by flashing the french international firmware?

[Q] Galaxy note 3 SM-N9005 still haven't got 4.4 update

Hi there fellow XDA developers.
My uncle bought a Samsung galaxy note 3 from Saudi Arabia (its been like 8 months) and his phone still have't received any KitKat update. It's current android version is 4.3 lollipop.
___INFO___
Phone model: SM-N9005
Original CSC code: BTU
Firmware's CSC code: BTU
CSC country: UK & IRE
CSC country ISO: GB
Product: SM-N9005ZKEBTU
Build No: JSS15J.N9005XXUDMK2 (N9005XXUDMK2)
I tried updating via Kies and Software update it says the same thing. YOU CURRENTLY HAVE THE LATEST UPDATES FOR YOUR DEVICE
So what is the case here? Will there be an update, or is there another way or is it gonna be ODIN?
Thank you

Some old firmwares are stucked and don't update. You will have to flash the firmware via ODIN. The latest for your device is: HERE. Good luck

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.

idk about .org
try to match fw w/ur carrier, what is ur carrier or the phones original carrier/country ? those 3 letters match up to a specific carrier.
not that critical as all are almost exactly if not all the same fw, bloatware will be installed as to ur phones carrier csc
