Thank you in advance for helping dumb newbies:angel:

What country code are you on now? This German (DBT) suppose to be for unbranded phones, but people have problems flashing this. Keeps getting fail in Odin. I'm having this too and I'm standing back for the moment awaiting solution.
You can flash the Polish (XEO) NB3 and the file can be downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares

Couple of questions
1- The poland firmware works for sure? or does that render odin to fail as well?
2 - Can i install 4.3 firmware stock? if yes can you pls share a link.
Appreciate your help.

There is no returning to 4.3 once you have upgraded your bootloader to 4.4.2

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?

Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

Thanks Radicalisto.
Lets see how it goes. Fingers crossed.

Normally after the odin flash, all apps/data etc are there? If not what is the best/tried method of backup without root?
Thanks

Does this rom suffer from any battery drain issues? or in general any issues? this isnt beta so i suppose none should exist.

No drain issues no, pretty decent build tbh.

You mean the NEO one which radicalisto mentioned? if the former than ill update once i try this as i am re downloading it again. People should seriously use drop box instead of Mega.

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds

Yes, VOD CSC.

Does that mean only Vodaphone users can flash it? What happens if we flash it on a unlocked phone?

Will it give me the bloat of vodaphone?
And will it lock my bootlaoder?
And how do i update if i have root and twrp?

Say what? 6.0.1 isn't up for XEF AFAIK. Is it 5.1.1 you want to flash?

Has anyone installed a custom recovery ?The TWRP from MM beta doesn't cooperate :/

Yeah but, as you know, it downloads as snail. Maybe somebody has mega link.

What's the problem in installing the VDO version? Just the bloatware?
