Hi all my girlfriend just bought a note 3 thinking it would come with a btu firmware but it turned out to have a Hong Kong firmware on it.. I've had a look at ita running 4.3 or 4.4. Android can't remember which one however we tried updating through settings but it can't findo any updates for lollipop...
I haven't tried it with kies as she might be sending it back as it was advertised with a btu firmware. If I can get it to update to lollipop she want me to put the aryamod s7 rom on it like I've got on my n9005 UK version..
I thought it would be easy but then after reading the threads about the hk versionso been different didn't want to brake anything.
If it is possible was its updated which kernel and custom recovery do I use. Would I use the hlte Eur ones
Any help would be much appreciated thanks

same happen to me as well....
Is it causing issues? If not I'd suggest leaving it for a while til Sammy roll out some more updates. Some of the regions, carriers etc are having issues.
Hi radicalisto
Thanks for your reply much appreciate it do you think when the next build of kitkat comes out i should be able to update it to my region? I'm not having any issues I just want be back on my official region firmware.
Since it's not causing any problems currently, I'd wait a couple of weeks and see if the new updated roll out takes place. No real need to have Official region unless there is something Specific you need from it right now, short term it's OK, long term once KK settles etc you should be able to switch back with zero issues :good:
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?
Hi everyone,
I have a Hong Kong international Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) 16GB and I want to install the leaked android 5.0 lollipop rom for
N9005. I know that Hong Kong devices cannot install roms from other countries. What should I do to enable my device be flashed other rom?
Thanks
Seems you have the international model N9005, which is the almost same model I have got. I reckon you should be able install the leaked lollipop rom. The instructions on this forum details what you should do if you have got the 16GB version.

You may need the PIT file for that leaked 5.0, I think.

I recommend you don't try any custom rom (this can upload your bootloader to 5.0 and you will have problems for come back to 4.4.2) or stock rom till the official updates for your country zone.

To make a long story short, I bought a motherboard for a note 3 from Hong kong (AliExpress). According to the seller, the motherboard was an European version, but it turned out to be a Hong kong model (TGY). I have nothing against Hong Kong, but I tried flashing a European rom 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin, but I was getting ext4 image errors. So, I flashed with a pit file and it went through, but wifi was greyed out, and there was no way to turn on Wifi. So, I reflashed TGY rom (4.4.2) with a pit file, and everything seems to work including Wifi.
BUT, I have an European rom (rooted, deodexed stock 4.4.2) with some modifications, and I would like to install this rom. Can someone suggest what I can do, to flash an European rom to a TGY model?

I think it's possible to use custom rom across any region. Only got problem when flashing with odin. With custom recovery should be fine.
Not really sure though.

Thank you.
I rooted and installed Philz Recovery. Then, I flashed a custom rom 4.4.2 (XEF). It flashes with no problem, but wifi was still greyed out.
Then, I followed this procedure. (Sorry. It is in French..)
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/188067-tuto-flasher-une-rom-europe-sur-note-3-hong-kong/
But, I got the same result with wifi greyed out.
As I have another N9005 (European version). I saved a pit file from this, and reflashed 4.4.2 (XEF) with Odin. Still., wifi greyed out.
I made a comparison between the two Note 3, and I found out that the bootloader is different. So, I am trying to find a way to change the bootloader.
By the way, the European model is made in Korea, and the Hong Kong model is made in China.
If you have other suggestions, you are welcome.

Thanks. It is a N9005 motherboard.
Hello guys,
I really need to root my note 4 which is SM-n9100.. There are 2 ROMs for this model which are the chinese one (CHC) with no google services and a lot of crap and the hong kong rom (TGY) with google services and more like the international version. Mine has the TGY rom.
The problem is that the chinese rom of the phone has already got marshmallow update while the TGY version is still on 5.1.1. CF-autoroot has only the latest file to root the SM_n9100 and it is based on 6.0.1 for the China rom. I tried to root my phone with it but i keep getting the error "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and had to flash the stock rom again. I could flash the phone with the 6.0.1 chinese rom but i don't want to be stuck with the ROM. I also had no luck trying to find an older version of cf-autoroot file based on 5.1.1 as well. Hope you guys can help me.
thanks
