Hi all,
I have the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, currenty running android 4.3, and I am waiting eagerly for the KitKat 4.4.2 update, but I'm afraid that because this specific model is not officialy sold im my country (Israel) and I bought it from abroad, that maybe the KitKat update will not reach my phone here in Israel.
Can someone please tell me if the official Samsung KitKat 4.4.2 update for this model (SM-N9005) is not region restricted, e.g. it has nothing to do with regions, and my phone will be updates via kies anyway ?

You Note will update from the Region that it was bought from, via OTA -- So if you got it from say, Germany, you'll receive German OTA update when it rolls out, same for X Y Z country.
I just did this and flashed the mexican CSC and locked my phone. I think if you keep the right CSC you'll be fine
Thanks

Hi,
Via OTA and Kies there is still no upgradet 4.4.2 available ...
CSC code is MJ8 (BOG) --> Bouygues Télécom France.
My phone is an I9505 ... I suppose I can just use Odin to flash another 4.4.2 firmware for the I9505 with a different CSC code?
I used to do some modding with previous phones ... but so far I 've only been using a 'standard' S4. Thus therefore I would like to get confirmation from some people who have more experience with flashing S4 phones.
Better wait for OTA or KIES 3 update android 4.4.2. Your phone is branded to one company.

That's the point firmware is not yet available via OTA or KIES 3. The phone is most certainly branded ... it contained some french apps which I never use out-of-the-box. I don't care about loosing these apps.
Question is will I encounter problems when I flash with another french, british, dutch, ... firmware?
Personally I don't think so ... If you can only flash the original firmware then sites like sammobile.com which host all different original firmwares dont have a reason to exist?
Or am I wrong?
Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?
Hello Everyone!
My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 model is SM-N910H, the phablet is now in the warranty and i don't want to root or modify anything, the device is really Great! BUT I still waiting for lollipop update(( in the site sammobile i can see that SM-H910H model is already have lollipop update in some of countries
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910H/
I have any questions:
1. how find my device's country? I live in the Armenia, and where from have been imported my device i don't know!
2. If I download any of these FW-s and install it via Odin, no root no changes, just clean rom install, will i lose my warranty or not?
3. Is there any difference between these roms?(Ukraine, Nepal, Panama, Uzbekistan) and which one download?
hi people
long time no speak need some help..
when i brought my note 4 (back on 4.4.4) it was a branded 3 phone and after the second day of owning it i flashed it to a official samsung 4.4.4 to get rid of the "3" branding.. anyway after the lolipop update came out my phone never asked me to update and always stated it was on the newest firmware (even up to today)
so i installed the 5.1.1 lolipop update via odin and the "3" branded stuff came back.. does anyone know where i can download a official UK unbranded 5.1.1 don't like all the branded bits
thanks in advance (im pretty sure i downloaded the unbranded firmware)
anyways any help will be appreciated

Currently there is no official UK unbranded 5.1.1 firmware, there is only Vodafone and Three branded firmware.
You will have to either wait for the firmware to be released or flash repackaged firmware which will install unbranded firmware and keep your current CSC.
