Jason, you are fine to flash any ROM as long as it is for your specific model e.g. N7105 (yours) and not for another model. Being on 4.1 you may find your current bootloader causes intermittent problems on a 4.3 ROM. There are two solutions, upgrade your bootloader to MJ5 prior to flashing 4.3 ROM or flash 4.3 ROM then flash drketan's wifi fix.
I also recommend NOT flashing from Sammobile, instead go to Android development forum here on XDA and select an appropriate ROM. That way the Knox feature present in latest 4.3 ROMs can be avoided.
I have deliberately not included links for you - instead read & read install instructions from the ROM thread of your choosing. You will be fine as long as you understand each step & all the terms & points mentioned in ROM thread.
Good luck

Hey Guys
I'm a Newbie in Android stuff
I've Got a Note 10.1 2014 edition today and I was under the impression that the KK 4.4.2 update has been rolled out for it. read about it and watched a couple of KK video reviews. but now I see that it was P605 the LTE version!
unfortunately I bought the 3G version SM-P601 with the Baseband version of : P601XXUBMJ8 supposed to be for UAE I guess! not sure...
I checked in the firmware section in samsung website and saw that for some P601 devices like Indian versions, the 4.4.2 update is out!
is it possible for me to get those on my device without having to root?! and if yes, how?!
tnx in advance
Did you try the ota update check on your tablet? What does it say? I had to run the update from my pc. You can try that too. If both oc this fails you can update via odin if you can get your hands on the update file ... Usually a zip file.

yea, I checked on both PC an Tablet updates both said the firmware is up to date!
I can download the zip file for other basebands, but I'm afraid flashing that would cause problems...
anyone can guide me what to do?
and this is from samsung firmware website
I Guess I can download Indian or Chinese 4.4.2 but can I have it on my tab with odin with no problem?
Ok! I can't post the image!

Hello members of xda, I'm in need for some stock ROM's for the AT&T S3 (SGH-I747)
I recently got the device and it was on Jelly Bean version of 4.1.2
I tried flashing a ROM and it got soft bricked and I had to install stock firmware that consisted of Jelly Bean 4.1.1
Now that I'm on JB 4.1.1, it says that it can't find an update. It did the same thing to me when I was on JB 4.1.2
I'm looking to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4 whether it be Jelly Bean or Kit Kat, I don't care.
Can anybody link me to a thread that has a list of stock firmware's on it? (Yes, I have searched before hand, to find nothing of help)
I prefer the firmware to be installed via Odin if possible, but I just need some stock AT&T firmware/ROM's
Greatly appreciated beforehand for any help that I can get
Check sammobile.com for stock i747 firmware.

Thanks, I'll go check them out now!
EDIT: The only firmware they have for US:AT&T is 4.1.1
Are there other firmware's for the i747 that I can use?
AT&T hasn't released as you saw a stock firmware file since jelly bean's early days.

how to update to 4.4.2

After flashing the 4.3 firmware you can either try to update with the official OTA here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788012
or by using one of the two threads linked above. (2nd one is probably best after flashing 4.3)

Download triangle away from the play store and reset flash counter.
Fully unroot using Supersu. Then upgrade via software update or Kies.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

If your device is not carrier locked, you can install any version of firmware, also of another country (you can change language later). Do it via odin.
You can install a stock version or a modded one (Dn3, dr.ketan or other in this section).

If your phone includes two sims, it belongs to China region. It has to be Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Duos GT-N7102.
In that case, unfortunately, you can only upgrade to 4.3 official stock ROM.
There should be a 4.4.2 based ROM available. But my best guess is that it is in Chinese language. So don't know what to suggest.
If it is GT-N7100, you will be spoilt for choice.

Hi guys, I have Galaxy Note 10.1 SM-P605. My one is most likely a Malaysian variant. Baseband version: P605XXUCOE1. I still haven't got the lollipop update on this variant. Now kinda planning to flash it with the Finland version. So I have some questions here before I do...
1. Will there be any sort of problem because of different baseband/ region?
2. Will I have to face any issue with knox or official OTA updates in future?
Thanks in advance.= :fingers-crossed:
I can only answer half of your questions, as my device is rooted, so i don't get official updates anyway. Flashing a different region firmware never caused me any troubles, not on my 10.1, or my Galaxy Note4, so it won't affect the functionality of your device.
As for Knox, it will trip Knox as you are flashing a kernel not for the same region...
It may just bootloop. Make sure you have a stock rom to go back to, mind you this may not work if the bootloader is upgraded to a newer version, say KK to L or L to MM....

Glad to know man, btw I am having only 1 problem that is it's not showing my operator's name on lock screen or in connection settings, instead it's showing the 5 digit number code of my operator. Thats not a major issue I guess, must be some conflict with regions.
I don't have my phone rooted and I'd like to upgrade it to 5.0.0 lollipop. I see Samsung only put out the update to other countries and not the US, how nice of them.
Would I even notice a difference using it or would putting the Aussie version of lollipop on my US t-mobile phone be a no no?
Thank you
You cannot flash an Australian stock LP ROM to the USA T-Mobile phone via Odin.
There is a T-MOBILE Australian lollipop upgrade on Samsungs website for the m919. For verification, It won't work on my m919? Would u mind to help me understand why?
Thank you
The bootloader in the rom will be compared to the hardware being flashed. If it's a match, it will flash but not necessarily function properly.
If the Australian m919 is the same as the hardware as the USA variant, it will probably flash but I don't know if it will work n properly.
Ok thank you for the explanation
Why don't you install Lineage which will put you into >7.0
