yes. it was un-ticked.
I am able to flash via recovery but not via odin.
Is there anyway to flash the official rom via recovery? or can I get flashable stock roms?

So,flash a custom rom via recovery and try after that flashing a stock rom with Odin
Official roms are intended for flashing with Odin or OTA,they are not in zip format but in
.tar
Or do a factory reset,you loose root and custom recovery and flash official rom from Sammobile via Odin

thanks for replying but is it save that flash 4.4.2 via odin and after flash will I receive the official update from samsung?
And one thing, after flashing to 4.4.2 I have to root the phone again or not.???
Thing is, odin 4.3 or other old firmware and then OTA to 4.4.2 , or odin 4.4.2 firmware in the first place, it's same process you have to do but with different firmware.
Yes, if you leave newly flashed firmware untouched.
You will probably have to root again.
You can also choose odin flash recovery and then flash pre-rooted ROM to have everything done in less process

Flashing Stock Lollipop Touchwiz ROM?

My Note 3 (SM-N900, Exynos) is currently booting CM 13. I'm gonna sell this phone, so I need to flash the stock Touchwiz firmware that the phone came with out of the box i.e, 5.0 Lollipop.
1. Since my phone runs Marshmallow right now, should I flash a Lollipop bootloader before I flash the stock Lollipop Touchwiz firmware?
2. I'm from India, and I'm a bit confused because there seems to be two firmwares for my region - INS and INU. Which one should I flash?
3. I've been told I should use Odin to flash the firmware, so is there any chance I might brick the phone? or lose the root status?
I'd be grateful if someone could help me out with the above questions. Thanks!
Flashing a stock rom with Odin will lose root. No need to flash anything before flashing stock with Odin.
Use Samsung phone info app from the play store, find the pda and csc. Then match stock rom pda/CSC to the phone.

I only see the info about Product Code, Baseband and Bootloader. The PDA and CSC fields are just blank. What do I do now?
Flash the firmware for your network or the original network .
Boot into download mode, confirm the model, and flash a rom from sammobile.com.

European ROM on SM-G900A

Is it possible to flash an EU ROM on the US version of the phone? I have a SM-G900A, but it does not have EU languages.

Any difficulties that will occur doing this? Or can I just download the stock SM-G900F ROM and flash it safely?

Difficulties? Joking? It's rather a tricky process as G900A has a locked bootloader and you want a ROM from another model.
You definitely cannot just flash "F" firmware with Odin.
Schematically, this process looks like:
1. Go to G900A section and find COMBINATION ROM there.
2. Find the latest G900A stock ROM and make a firmware Odin-flashable tar from it (bootloader, kernel, modem, recovery).
3. Find a G900F ROM you want to be on, prepare it for flashing if needed.
4. Flash Combination ROM, gain root, install Safestrap recovery.
5. Flash G900F ROM from Safestrap recovery.
6. Flash G900A firmware package with Odin.
7. Enjoy.
