I'm currently using stock APD1 firmware with product code NEE. Being in Sweden there seem to exist a newer firmware but with product code VDS. Can I update to the VDS firmware without losing data? Or wait for the newer firmware to be released for NEE ?

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

I had problems during reflash n9005 before.
i had version N9005XXUFNG2 and wanted to update to Poland XEO version N9005XXUEND3. Somebody reply me i can use it and i almost kill my note3 during flash.
Then somebody explain i cant downgrade from NG2 to ND3 so i reflash back to correct version and let i to wait.
question 1:
my current firmware is N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5, phone is probably from Austria A1 network (i bought it in local store with papers)
now there is update to android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.
Regards

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.
I have a german (DBT) Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I flashed Nougat Beta 1 with Odin. CSC is atm G935FOXA1ZPK4
What is the best way to update to the final, if possible with keeping data?
I'm assuming you have no intentions to trip knox since you're only on beta 1, so custom flashing appears to be out of question.
You can flash via Odin one of two available official firmwares (BTU and O2C) at the time of this posting (note that this may break CSC features since your original is DBT) or wait out for official DBT release. Official firmwares can be checked on Sammobile.
Using Home_CSC in Odin would not wipe your data, however, that may mean you would have to wait for official DBT firmware to be on the correct CSC.
Last but not least, you can roll back to MM and wait for official OTA updates from your carrier. Its pretty much a waiting game on the official route.
I originally was on DBT, my CSC changed when i flashed Beta 1 BTU, because Beta 1 was also not available as DBT. After flashing Beta 1 my CSC showed OXA (see screenshot above).
In the meantime i flashed final BTU with Home_CSC. My CSC is now shown as G935FOXA1DPLT.
I will switch back to DBT, when final DBT is available. Is there a way to change to DBT without erasing data? I guess not.

As long as you use Home_CSC you shouldn't lose data, so hopefully it'll be included later in the final DBT firmware.
I ended up flashing a different countries firmware so that means I'll not get my countries updates soooo.... is it just as easy as flashing the csc EVR (EE) and because I'm in the UK if I flash the firmware BTU (uk) will I still get updates?
You should. You might have to reflash the current firmware for your country / phone though.
Hi guys.
I recently noticed that my Galaxy A20s (SM-A207F/DS) didn't get Android 10 and 11 updates for no reason. No updates available for my device in settings / software update.
So I decided to flash the leatest update manually.
The current region code (CSC) is THR (Iran) with Pie version.
I looked up sammobile.com for Android 11 firmware but it doesn't have THR region.
The question is:
What happens if I flash different CSC?
Which region code should I use?
