Hi. Im having Samsung Note 3 N9005.
I read in net that in poland, the update has been released and the official firmware is also in net. But i brought it from Kuwait. My model no. is N9005, is there any problem in installing a different country firmware?
Will i get updates if i install that?
Now im in India.

This work thing I do for a living gets in the way sometimes ;).

You can flash it no problem, it will stop you getting OTA (Over The Air) updates though. Download the firmware you have now as a backup to restore your phone to how it is now should you wish to and you'll get OTA updates if you restore it. The official Swiss Lollipop firmware download link is at the end of my post. The Swiss one is the newest of the lot. Follow the instructions in the link to the letter and be warned it will wipe your phone. Your phone will be like out of the box new, only with Lollipop :)

Got can flash the Polish v5. You will lose OTA unless you flash back to your original V4.4.2 firmware whichever V5.0.0 you choose.
 
Without getting over complicated. Yes it is official Samsung firmware, but it's baseband won't match what Samsung's servers expect for your phone. This mismatch will stop The OTA.
 
One important thing::::

My knox turned to 0x1 after rooting. And now im having 4.4.2 OS. I want to install 5.0 OS through odin, is it possible or will the KNOX create problems ?
