[Q] Which firmware should i flash - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I stay in India and own a Galaxy S4 I9505 device, but this device was not originally launched in India.
Now since the Official Lollipop update has been released for this model, I am wondering which firmware should I flash on my device (I mean which country's firmware should I pick?)
I know various touchwiz based Lollipop roms are already available for this device. But I want to flash the Stock Firmware coz I am facing an issue and I think flashing the original firmware will probably get me out of it!
Only preference for me is the English language... ?? Kindly help !
Thank you.

You can flash all of them. It doesn't matter.

Flash the firmware from your carrier and country.

Flashing Other Region /Csc Frimware is possible?

My phone is Galaxy A5(SM-500F)
PDA/Baseband:A500FXXU1AOC1
Region/CSC: KSA
android version :4.4.4
*can i flash leatest (5.0.2)firmware with other csc for this model??
and How to flash this?
You shouldnt have a problem, i received my phone with NEE CSC (nordic countries) and flashed the Cyprus one as it had newer build date.
Ps, when flashing with odin, and changing region, tick the Update Bootloader option.
Also, Branded or Carrier Roms (Vodafone, Tmo, etc) wont flash on Unbranded phones as they have different partition tables.
Remember to flash only roms for your variant strictly (SM-A500F)
Edit: Latest rom is Here, instructions how to flash are on the download page of the rom you choose.

Does flashing original samsung firmwares trigger knox counter? Like if i have a stock phone with KK 4.4 and flash the LL 5.0.2
will the knox counter get triggered ?
No worries, it wont. Odin is a samsung leaked tool, and the roms are samsung made packages, it is pretty much what Kies/Smart Switch do when they handle the phones.

unroot galaxy s3 neo

Hi friends, I'm a beginner of this forum.
I am using samsung s3 neo i9300i device running in android 4.4.4. The baseband version is i9300ixxuboi1.
On last month I rooted this device with TWRP recovery file. Now I want to unroot my device. For that purpose, I searched the samsung web but I couldn't find the actual baseband version Stock Rom file. If I flash other s3 neo's baseband Firmware, instead of exact version, is it occur any damage?
Give solution. .... Help me. ......
Do you mean you want original firmware from sammobile? Probably the firmware is updated that's why you won't get the exact version. Just look for a firmware for your model and for you region and flash.

I have tried so many firmwares with different regions and basebands. And i haven't have any problem.
Just try to download a firmware for your region ( for your country or for neighbourhood countries ) and flash it through odin.

Flashing stock marshmallow rom via odin on the Galaxy Note 4

Hello.
I'm tired of waiting for Samsung to finally roll out the marshmallow update to my device. So I did some searching and turns out Spain already has the 6.0 update. As theyre using the same model number as my device I started wondering if it may be possible to obtain the Spanish stock rom and just flash it via odin onto my device. (I've got a German note 4 model number sm-n910f)
PS: I hope I'm using the right forum.
Stock marshmallow for n910f hasn't come out yet. Must yet
Did you flash the rom ?i am here wondering the same idea .i am thinking to flash inu version of n910g atock rom in my n910g singapore variant can we flash the rom if both have different baseband version ?

Yes you can. What matters is model.

What is the recommended stock firmware if your original region firmware has no update

My Galaxy Note 3 is an N9005 (LTE capable) phone and the firmware for my region (Philippines) has stopped its updates since 11/19/2015, I see that UAE has its firmware dated 06/30/2016 and thats pretty recent, will it be okay for my device to use a UAE firmware ? or is there a suggested firmware that works 'globally' ?
Choose one for your network .
But what do you expect to update to ??or even want to update to as 5.0 is the latest .
If you want the latest security updates for your stock 5.0 you can try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
If you want MM there are s7/n5 ports and cm13 roms here on the forums.
