[Q] Why my Note3 can't have Kitkat Kies or OTA ?

Hello,
I bought my Note3 in a spanish online store and i use it in France.
I'm still in 4.3 because the upgrade doesn't show up OTA or on KIES, they both say that I have the latest version.
It seems that the upgrade is available in these 2 countries, so I don't really understant why I can't upgrade ?
I have attached a screen of my "About device" section if it can helps.
Thank you for your help.

It depends on your CSC.
Please use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check for your CSC first, and then search on the sammobile.com if there is an update for your CSC.
Download link in my signature.

If not buying from Samsung authorized retailers with its original warranty, u may want to check ur system status. Whether modified or official. And u better go to download mode as well to check the knox flag status
Happened to my friend new note N9005.
Status modified, knox 0x1.
And the phone can't get OTA.
Sent from N9005 NC2 ROM.

Thank you for your answers.
I've downloaded the application, I have still full knox warrantly ((0x0), but I have found that my phone comes from Austria.
AP & CP : N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC : N9005ATODMJ4
Apparently, the kitkat update will not come soon for this country, so I will have to flash the latest french XEF rom.
Thank you, problem solved

Just thought I'd add, Kies 3 lost support of updating the Note 3 after the new bootloader came out on JB MJ1... Samsung have, in their infinite wisdom, NOT fixed support for this. If anything goes wrong with a flash or OTA then you are stuck using ODIN to fix... The whole "Rmergency Firmware Recovery" thing is just a load o crap....

U don't need to depend on ota or kies. Just upgrade through ODIN.
Sometimes wait for OTA will make u fèel so much envy to others who got it alrd.
And flash through ODIN is much better.

Try NEE or DBT.

Isn't the UAE variant "FD"?
When you check for an update via SamFirm for "SM-G950FD" or "SM-G955FD" using XSG and manual mode, it shows up.

Can you try it with Odin 3.12.10 ? Here's the download link: https://flb.st/Mt3Qs

same problem , doesn't work

We need a new Odin tool. The new firmware has a new compression.

Odin failing at sboot.bin could mean you are flashing wrong firmware for your phone or your trying to flash older version firmware than what is on your phone(bootloader version). Have you tried latest firmware g950fxxu4cri5.

Yes,I think it's the last one for my phone,actually using RENOVATE_ICE_G95X-13.4,but now I see that it was locked to a Portuguese operator, MEO and I'm trying to flash the unlocked operator rom, could it be that?

Could be. I don't use carrier branded firmware and if I can help it never will there's enough crap just with Google and Samsung. If it does fail with unbranded (carrier) firmware then flash the carrier version. Either way you will more than likely need the latest firmware version to return to stock rom.

it doesn´t want to cooperate,already tested a Carrier rom and unbranded and the error it´s always the same,after loading the binaries on Odin and the COM port get´s blues it fails on the first step.

Finally made it,using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Thanks spawnlives for your help.

S8, download mode shows Knox 0x0 but S-health and other related app say rooted

Hello everybody,
I am totally new so please forgive me if I ask something stupid.
So I got this phone, S8. In Download Mode, it shows Knox is not tripped (0x0) but my S-health and Samsung Pay doesn not work. And I am sitting at android 7 and cannot upgrade.
Pics attached below.
I know nothing about rooting or flashing so a little more details would be super great. Thank you guys.

Go in the recovery what version does it say at the top. Also what model is the device its written on the back next to imei number.
Looks like you are on carrier locked device with locked bootloader and rooted rom.
Your solution is to flash same version of stock firmware.

Hi Vcek,
It is S8, SM-950U. Unlock carrier. Android 7 version, G950USQU2BQK5
So in the end, is it rooted or none-rooted phone? The Knox 0x0 confused me alot.
I did some google and someone says sth about flashing with Odin, and flash all of the options such as Bootloader, AP, CP, CSC and so.
Then my question is,
1. Will flashing with Odin using the firmware I download updato.com (could not download from SamMobile) trip the Knox?
2. By saying stock firmware, do you mean "official" firmware or else? Like I can use a firmware for T-Mobile, android 9 (Pie) or I have to use a T-Mobile, android 7 version?
3. The firmware I got from updato.com is for AP flashing, so for other options like CP, CSC, where can I download the official files?
4. I should not flash bootloader, should I? Since it will trip Knox?
5. Is there any better sites than updato.com and SamMobile? One is so freaking slow and the other is not downloadable.
Thank a lot for helping me!

Hi all,
The problem was solved. I just flashed all of the options with a stock room using Odin.
