Na no problems with region lock. it might trip knox, mine was tripped at 2nd flash. You may have to flash more than once to get it working.

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
Hello.
Just bought an used Note II. It has 4.3 and I want 4.4.2. Software updates on the phone tells me 4.3 is the latest. Kies on imac is telling me the same.
Baseband version: N7100ZSENA1
Current firmware = Latest firmware = PDA: NA1, PHONE: NA1, CSC: NA1 (TGY)
It means that the update is not ready for that country? What country is NA1 (TGY)? Can I change that somehow and get the latest firmware?
Thank you in advance.
Update might not have arrived on your country. But you can get the ofiical firmware from here and instructions too. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28988
Thank you.
I'm also interested in knowing which country is NA1 (TGY). According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Csc, TGY is Hong Kong. That means the phone was bought from Hong Kong?
If i flash that firmware, it will change country to India and will have OTA updates when available in India?

I would advise you flash the French Version and not the Indian version cause it carries the modem file that is tailor made for Indian users only,people who use that modem outside of India might experience sudden battery drain and weak signal (the ones that are rooted can take care of it by flashing the french modem or one of the older 4.3 modems) but you wont be and you'd have to flash French rom which carries a XX labelled modem that works for most EU countries although XF is the one for romania
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29588 - is this the right one?
Will this be enough? Or do I need to flash a different modem firmware? After this the phone will be french version instead of hong kong version?

Ya thats the latest one that released today.Download it and flash via pc odin.I am not too sure if your phone would change to "french version" look at my screenshot of attached CSC .Shows BTU (which is UK) and CSC country is UK AND IRE (cause i believe the stock rooted ROM from the developer i got turned the CSC into this i guess he's from that part of the world) and my note II is originally from Dubai and been using it in India .So you can imagine by poor phone has been touringaround the world..LOL But doesn't affect me cause i never upgrade to stock roms from sammobile i always get the stock dedoxed pre rooted ones from xda so CSC doesn't matter to me unless it messed my phone up.
Read this post below that would give you more info about how does flashing a rom from another country works

This is mine. Should I go then for french update or wait for hing kong version.
Is it ok that I'm using hong kong version in romania? France is closer
Ok, I did the firmware update from France.

Battery life seems worse on 4.4.2. Should I flash different modem firmware?

Since you are on stock 4.4.2 you got two options,either flash a custom 4.4.2 custom ROM (dr ketan's rom is the least bloated and very close to stock)so that would give you a good estimate how your battery drain is or you flash a custom 4.3 (there are tons available out there choose the one which impresses you the most)
For now I wish to stay on stock ROM. But battery life on 4.3 was much better than on 4.4.2.

Well give it few days and see if it improves ,if it doesn't then only option is to root your phone and try custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROMS.Good luck

Why not give it a try? The 4.3 stock firmware should be on sammobile's site. Why carry another battery when you don't have to?
Assuming you upgraded (as in kept all your apps and data) from 4.3 to 4.4.2 then you should probably factory reset before judging battery life. Some apps just never play ball again after an update.
The rule typically is:
x.x.a to x.x.b - wipe only if experience issues
x.a.x to x.b.x - wipe suggested but not generally required
a.x.x to b.x.x - wipe generally required

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 know Knox will stay tripped, but how do I unroot/flash stock? Using netflix was 50% of what I used this tablet for and now that they blocked root, I can't watch it anymore. I tried to use magisk, but it doesn't work at all for me on cyanogenmod. If anyone can recommend a rom that magisk 100% works on, without laggy videos in youtube/twitch/netflix, that would be awesome! If not, can someone link me a way to unroot/relock the bootloader so that I am able to use netflix again. I'm currently running cyanogenmod 12.1. Thanks!!
Just flash back the official ROM, your tablet status will be official but the Knox count won't change. Search sammobile for your model, if you can root then flash back official firmware is not a problem.

Region doesn't matter, I have SM-T580 runs Germany firmware, SM-P580 runs Korean firmware because both are Android 7.
You can take the Australia firmware. Fact you should know: all Samsung tablets sold around the world are the same tablets, the difference is software customized to certain region.
Open a tablet sold in Asia, it's the same as the one sold in US, if loaded with US firmware, it becomes an US tablet.
I have one US tablet with Google Locked, downgraded it to Hong Kong firmware to bypass Google Lock, then upgraded it Nougat with Germany or Korean firmware.
I doesn't matter which firmware I loaded as long as English is my language of choice. Every region, you see the CSC ( Customer Software Customization ) file along with the AP file, that's the difference.
