[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

Galaxy s6 edge + debranding

Hello, just got my galaxy S6 + ,unfortunately it's branded. :crying:
after having couple of LG phones I am not up to date in the "samsung world" and I want to flash the official Samsung ROM
Is it safe for now to debrand the phone with ODIN ? it's the standard procedure like in other phones ?
I found 3 XEO Roms for Poland
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC Kies
2015-08-01 Poland 5.1.1 G928FXXU1AOH4 G928FOXX1AOGH NO
2015-08-01 Poland 5.1.1 G928FXXU1AOGJ G928FOXX1AOGG NO
2015-08-01 Poland 5.1.1 G928FXXU1AOGF G928FOXX1AOGG NO
thanks !

I'm from the UK and my phone came with customisation (although very minimal I might add) from EE. The first thing I did was to download my country specific official Rom (BTU) from sams mobile and flash it through Odin. I have had no issues at all and knox has not been tripped.
Looking through your list of Roms, the first one is the one you want to go for.

Can't find Stock Firmware for dual Sim model SM935FD

Hi. I bought s7 edge in Thailand.
I was trying to find its stock firmware to get my phone a new fresh start. So far, I only found a link to Singapore firmware.
Here is from my phone
free upload
I heard you can flash single Sim firmware into dual one, but I was just afraid and prefer original firmware (before I root it soon hahaha)
Any idea where I can find one for my Thailand model.

OLB covering Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/Vietnam. I believe your latest update is of February 2016
Download Phone INFO Samsung from playstore and look for the active CSC. It has got a country shown as well.
I have a FD version as well with XME (Malaysia) CSC. But from what I have researched, for Galaxy S7 Edge specifically, Samsung has been releasing OTA updates (three times; once a month since Feb) for OJV countries (Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey), XSG (united arab emirates) and EU countries (NEE=Netherland, DBT=Germany, LUX=Luxembourg so far)
I have decided to flash the DBT firmware as from the look of firmware updates trend, Galaxies with DBT receive the earliest and most frequent updates from Sammy. Everything is working fine. No Knox triggered. Not too sure about the warranty; i guess it doesn't matter that much since samsung only looks at whether your knox has been triggered.
Good luck

thank you
can I flash German firmware only PDA or i have to flash CSC and MODEM too?

GALAXY S7 edge SM-G935F 22.12.2016 6.0.1 United Kingdom (BTU) G935FXXU1BPLB

Is your phone rooted or knox tripped?
Anyway your nougat is here http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=04F18B16DDF711E69215FA163EE8F90B

No its not rooted or Knox tripped

I've read somewhere that samsung release it partially, so you must be out of luck, just wait or use odin and sammobile rom

If you are on beta like i was i had too revert back to mm on SmartSwitch to receive official nougat
