Hi, Just purchased an unlocked N9005 and I went to the software update to update the software and it said it cannot be updated as the phone was modified. How do I go about updating the software? Also after rooting can the software be updated and what effect that would have on root?

Thanks for any assistance.
 
Xxmen, where are you in the world? There are various "stock" ROMS for different regions and countries. Their only difference is language packs but also the all important CSC codes. I can find you a download that is flashable by Odin that will allow updating as normal in the future by OTA (Over The Air) or Kies.

Will it allow me to keep the sim and region unlocked?

Hi Dynomot,

Can you give me some assistance in locating the latest software for my note 3. The latest software that Kies said is available is,

PDA: MJ7
Phone: MJ7
CSC: MJ4 (XEF)

Can you clarify if this updated software would be

APN: N9005XXUBMJ7
CP: N9005XXUBMJ7
CSC: N90050XXBMJ4

and is this be what I should be looking for?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sorry Xxmen I have been on call for work (worked 58 hours over the last three days). I haven't forgotten you. I'll get back to you in this thread over the weekend, most likely Saturday afternoon (UK time - GMT) when I hopefully should have time for me.

Ok, I went ahead and download the rom version in the above post but have done nothing so far.

Will await your input.
