Hey guys,
So it's been a couple years since i've been on this forum, and i had a question.
Like most of you, i've been waiting to update to android marshmallow (and i want the official ROM), but the one for my carrier isn't out yet (T-Mobile Netherlands). But on Sammobile i saw some other stock roms for the N910F who already had the update. Is it possible to just flash one of them via Odin? They all have the same PDA & CSC, so it would look like it's not a problem.
Thanks in advance, Sam
PS: English isn't my native language, so i'm sorry if some things were unclear, just send me a message when some things need a explanation
Yep, as long as you have the same model (SM-910F) you can flash any one of them.
Edit: You may need a PIT file if it doesn't flash correctly, but i would only worry about that if you run into problems.
Hello, I think you talk about the Cyprus Version CYV
(The only one without carrier)
You can find the good pit here.
For this one it's need the VFG

I didn't have make this for now but many users reported it's working fine.

Thanks for your response! But i'm a bit confused now, is the only stock rom i can flash safely the Cyprus version? And why does it matter?
Looking forward to your response.
If anyone could make a quick step by step tutorial on how to flash with the pit file that would be nice thanks

Hi Guys,
I have spent quite a bit of time reading about the officially released KK roms for the Note 3 and really just wanted to know if i was to flash, say, the Polish rom to my device through Odin, would i be able to flash the official UK release when it finally gets released? Are there any downsides to flashing a non UK based rom in this way? My phone was bought from Phones4u in the UK but i believe it to be Sim free phone, IE no Vodafone Bloat.
Whats the general thoughts, wait for the official UK rom or go for some Kitkat goodness?
Thanks guys

Ok, so:
Firstly you need to check if your phone is SM N9005 or SM N9000. If it is, good. Than it is international version of the Note 3.
You can go to sammobile.com and look for FIRMWARES not ROMs that are 4.4.2. First you have to download those stock firmwares and flash via odin (if it ends with .tar.md5) or simply via recovery if it is .zip.
You don't have to worry about the country you download (I think there is UK too) because it makes absolutely no difference.
When done with that, you can look for ROMs to flash or you can use the phone as stock.
YOU CANNOT FLASH KITKAT ROMS IF YOU DON'T HAVE STOCK KITKAT FIRMWARE !!
ONCE YOU GET ANDROID KITKAT, THERE'S NO TURNING BACK TO JB.
So, I hope you understand me. If you don't, feel free to ask

It'll be an N9005 If from Phones4U in the UK -- that's all they stock.

Thanks very much for the reply, its been very helpful. If i was to update to one of the international version, say polish, when the UK version comes out would that be a OTA update for me or would just not see there was an update available?
Thanks again.

Not an OTA update no, you'd get Polish OTA's -- however, soon as UK BTU version is out, grab the ROM from Sammobile or here and flash it and you'll get UK updates (not a great deal different in most EU ROMS - CSC's are multi etc

And if I flash the Polish Rom am I pretty much guaranteed not to trip Knox? My warranty is important to me.
Official ROMs won't trip Knox no.

No problem. Don't use Odin 3.09 - use 3.04/3.07 or 1.85

One last thing, if you do try to flash a JB rom through ODIN after going to KK you will trigger Knox warranty void...
You are trying to flash a bootloader the Note 3 no longer looks at as Stock so you will trigger Knox. This has been reported by a few people....
UPGRADE to KitKat, it is better than JB. Cheers!

Hey sorry for the late. There will be OTA updates, everything will work just fine. That's why it's callled STOCK ROM. Everything is made by Samsung. ROMs are custom, other developers make those.

Sorry, I didn't understand you at the first answer... If the update comes, it will probably be available in USA, and then in GB and EU etc... So you can visit that site sammobile.com again and seek the new firmwares. It is the same (I'm from Serbia and I use polish as it came out first). Good luck! ☺

Hello I would like to ask you... I have SM-N9005 (baseband) - N9005XXUBMH9 and I cant find any ROM for it, can you tell me whats the problem? Do I have any kind of testing model or what? Thank you for your answers... I really would like to install Lollipop on it, but I am afraid, because of my baseband... Thanks.
Baseband is the Modem its not the firmware .
Development is full of N9005 custom roms as is sammobile with stock roms .

Ahh sorry, so do you think that I can install any firmware on that XXUBMH9?, because i didnt find any on sammobile. I have found that XXUBMH9 was something like pre-release version or something like that...
Download and run Phone Info from play store .

And what do you need from this app ?
List everything in these tabs: General, CSC Code, Firmware
(actually, don't need all, but simpler to just tell you that than each specific thing). Easier still, take a snapshot of your screen and post them on here.
General will tell us your exact phone model, and CSC will let us know which country specific firmware you need. Firmware will let us know which version you have, so you don't downgrade bootloader and mess things up.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed

A word of caution. It may not be so but your confusion about baseband says you don't know much about ROM's, flashing and software components. I'd suggest have a read of the stickies (at top of each section such as Android Development) and learn what gives. You need to know the difference between Recovery and Download modes among other things.
Chances are you will want to root you phone so you can play more, but if all you want is LP, you can DL the Stock firmware for your phone (which is why the guys want the details from Phone INFO) and then flash it using Odin - a program you run on your PC that runs the firmware onto your phone.
N9005XXUBMH9
Feedback on that is that it was Jelly Bean Test firmware .In which case it may not be a genuine Note 3 but a sample .
SM-N9005: Android 4.3 Jellybean
(Current test firmware: N9005XXEBMH9/N9005OXABMH9/N9005XXUBMH9)
This maybe a very stupid question but ive looked everywhere for an answer but i cant find one. Is it possible to flash the stock lollipop rom over an unrooted o2 lollipop rom. Only reason im asking is i haven't much experience flashing Samsung phones and i want to make sure i don't brick the thing lol. any advice would be great. If it all possible could some one post me a link to which of the unbranded roms is best to use thanks.

Go to sammobile and find your firmware. Try to search by name e.g SM-N9005 and country. When you download from there you will see instructions or all over xda on how to use ? odin.
All you need is ? odin. No risks if you follow the instructions.
Thanks for the reply but it still doesn't answer my original question can I flash a unbranded lollipop over the O2 lollipop and I have yet to find a unbranded UK lollipop rom yet so which version do I down load?
Thanks

You should flash the good firmware for your CSC (device country code). You can find it installing this APP and going to Sammobile.com then for download the correct firmware.
mine says o2u and i cant find an unbranded firmware. ive included a screen shot.

You shouldn't flash unbranded firmware to one branded device. You should flash one of this ONES then.
is that the branded version of the o2 firmware? as i have that one installed already.
I have a 910H and I've tried to flash other region firmware but have had problems getting the flashes to actually complete. I had to repack one to use it.
IN any other Samsung device I've owned, the region didn't matter much at all.
Is the Note 4 different?
I'm looking for a Panama 5.1.1 ROM, but the only one released is a 910C variant ROM.

I even posted in that thread with the response that region does not matter, because that had been my experience in the past, but when I flashed another region firmware, it got stuck at the MODEM portion and never completed. I first thought it was a bad download, so I tried several times, but eventually, I had to repack it to get it to work.
So, as I understand it, you are saying that region really doesn't matter after all and that maybe what I experienced was a fluke?

Hi, my answer is strictly based on my experience using the firmware provided on the download link in post # 50th, I have not tried other because I've read that other people did not succeed flashing the firmware provided on the other download links on previous post .
hi, does anyone know or can provide me a guide on how to flash my note 4 to its stock firmware. im a newbie thats why im here asking for help.. hehe.. I have a samsung note 4 with a model number SM-N901F. I live in the UK and on three mobile network. I've been waiting for the marshmallow update and it hasn't been release by three mobile so im hoping flash my phone to its samsung stock firmware I might be able to update to marshmallow. is that possible? if anyone has an idea please help me. thanks.
Firstly marshmellow for UK N910F hasn't been released yet, well the BTU, unlocked version. Fortunately you can install the German DBT Rom or the Rom posted by Steve Pritchard, here on XDA forums. Use Odin to flash firmware, plenty of tutorials if you use the search function.
