Download 5.1.1 ROM from Sammobile.com and flash via odin

Remember you will loose Root

If you fail in upgrading via OTA, you may have a try to use Samsung Kies on your PC to update.

can i flash any 5.1.1 rom via odin? i have found one for my phone that is stock but it is not from my region.

Yes you can, but remember that flashing 5.1.1 you will lose root so if you ask from me, i would say that don't update to 5.1.1

Hello,
Has anybody tried it? Can you provide more details on the changelog or at least noticeable changes/improvements?
Also, I am from another country (Romania ... Still Europe). If I flash this will I brick it?

How come i am not getting ota updates??
not even thru kies!!
Thank you
Not sure why your not getting updates , as long as your using a n9005 32gb version you should be fine installing that update through Odin . think there's a 16gb Hong Kong n9005 which will not work with the UK updates.

I have the XXUBMJ1 on my phone. Rooted via CF-Root. So as I understand, I rooted in that I flashed a pre-rooted firmware. Can I just flash this one via ODIN? It's a european SM-N9005 model and I really need root for wanam and NFC-Unlocker to work. Do I loose root when I flash this?
Yes flash via ODIN then re CF-Auto Root

Hmmm. I thought that CF-Autoroot had updated my firmware when I applied it. Is there a step by step tut somewhere? Like, which file goes where...
Aaah, forgot. Does updating delete any files? I wouldn't want to completely set up my phone from scratch.

Mobile Odin ???. Not support yet this device.
Well i used Mobile Odin v3.04 to flash the Stock Firmware and my Custom Recovery and it works fine with my Note 3 SM-N9005

And also where is guide to root?
I thought you don't need to root? Just upgrade to official 4.2.2 stock and then flash any 4.4.2 custom rom you want while following the instructions given in the threads where you can download the roms

Mate, you can download official 4.2.2 firmware form here. It's not important for which country the ROM is made. Languages are the same in every one of them.
Odin is a small tool for flashing an OFFICIAL firmware and it's super easy. If you have problems with it, you can contact me on Private Message.
After you flash 4.2.2 your device may not be rooted, and you have to root it again to install the custom CM 11 ROM.
I am using Resurection Remix ROM 4.4 Kitkat and I'm happy with it at the moment. But when #build 6 of CM11 (unofficial of course) is released, for sure I'm gonna try it!
Hope I helped you. Cheers!
P.S - If you are not sure of what you make, better contact me or post a topic. I see you are a newbie here, so don't be afraid.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663834 here is guide by me how to root s2 plus.

I want to know how to update it via smart switch and if twrp will be replace during the process..

Smart switch is painful. You'll need an internet connection. Aaand lots of time. Why not download the rom and use Odin.
You lose trwp and root either way.
Check on www.updato.com for a fast download. You can even use a download accelerator ?

Hi zikofurito
I'll assume you've already installed the Samsung USB drivers and have already installed Odin.
Download the MM ROM from www.updato.com J700F MM ROMS
Download TWRP from here Latest J7 (2015) TWRP
And SuperSU SuperSu 2.78
Make a backup first!

I guess may be the IRAN region Rom is not Suitable for this Phone I want to return to original rom but I want to be sure of the correct one . So my Question is How to determine the original region of my cellphone?
I don't know how to do that.

Tnx for reply. I found that my phone region have been Taiwan (not thailand). Do you think flashing thailand MM rom will not damage it as now I have overheating problem with Iran LP rom, although I'm not sure the problem is Rom related.
Then flash flash a Taiwan MM Rom before you give up.
