Help upgrading from JellyBean - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm currently on 4.3 and some apps are now no longer supported and I'd like to get to the latest version.
Can anyone help me with the process? I'm not sure whether I need to go to KitKat, Lollipop and then Marshmallow, or if I can do a direct copy.
I'm slightly wary of doing this because I tried it a couple of years ago to go to KitKat and ... it didn't end well but I managed to get back to my 4.3 version.
Full Details:
Baseband Version - N9005XXUDMJ7
Kernel Verson - 3.4.2-2019540
Build Number - EchoeRom_v6_JSS15J.N9005XXUDMK2
SELinux Status - Enforcing SEPF_SM_N9005_4.3_0012
Hardware Version - MP0.602
Thank you in advance

Are you asking about Samsung stock rom.
Or Custom rom ??

It's a custom Rom - EchoeRom v6
I don't mind changing to whatever makes it easier if that helps

Update stock firmware via Odin from updato,com,#
Then choose your rom .
That will update bootloader and baseband for later custom roms.

Thanks.
I've gone to the site, filtered by United Kingdom (Vodafone) and it's come up with 2 options:
GALAXY Note 3 SM-N9005 5.0 April 23, 17 United Kingdom (Vodafone) (VOD) N9005XXSGBQA1
GALAXY Note 3 SM-N9005 5.0 January 28, 16 United Kingdom (Vodafone) (VOD) N9005XXUGBOL3
I'm guessing I want the bottom one?

The QA1 would be newer.

Once that's been downloaded/installed, should my phone still work on 4.3 but also have the capacity to take the newer Roms?

It will be whatever you download 4.4 .2 or 5.0
Then add custom recovery as required by choosen rom.

What means PDA and CSC from the firmware page of SamMobile.com?
Are those firmwares for "factory unlocked" (not from operator) versions of GT-I9505?
Are there two variants of that model?
What's the difference between I9505OXXAMDB and I9505OXXAMD8?

Hi .... thanks for your reply. I have managed to install XXUAMDM and it's working fine. It was a simple process using Odin and the only hard bit was downloading the file from Hotfile, took around 90 mins to download!

Typical... A week after I got fed up with Samsung's pathetic attempt at a rollout and went custom.
Someone in their offices should be kicked in the balls.. BTU should have been the FIRST update rolled out, being it's the simplest!
OK... stupid question but, what is BTU?

It's the coding for international "generic" devices. The ones needing the least amount of customisation imaginable as there's no operator requirements to complicate things.
So it should have been the first one released instead of just about the last!
Full SamMobile download:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32635
It's 1.31GB btw.
The real question is whether this has the WiFi disconnect bug present in other stock N7100 KitKat builds.
I am using this ro and i was updated ota. And all work good. No problems with WiFi.

You can flash relaxed the latest firmware for your device via ODIN: HERE.
*REMEMBER:
- Flash the firmware, reboot and let it boot. Dial *#1234# and have to appear this:
AP: N9005DXUGNK1
CP: N9005DXUGNK1
CSC: N9005OLCGNH1
- Reflash the same firmware again if not. Good luck :good:
