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

Dont know where to start

Ok guys, I have in my hand a Huawei ascend P6-U06 the rom version is B103. All I want is to install kitkat, but I'm not sure, all custom roms said that Imust be on Kitkat based rom first, so I must install a stock kitkat? I read that official kitkat fot P6-U06 is not ready. So, where can i start?

Ok, so I install that firmware, no problem is I have the P6-U06? and after that, unlock, flash twpr for kitkat and flash a rom. How about the 3G? It will work? (Im asking because I read that sometimes china has different 3G bands, so odont know if there will be some side effect using the chinesse rom)

But if I want it only to install TWPR and custom rom, is ok to use B506?
And another question, if I want to return stock, just need to flash the official international rom? and i want to use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702483 or do you reccomend another one? (I know that the rom choose is more personal, but I just want an advice to start, and the language i can install spanish with MoreLocal I think)

B506 was what i used and worked well and you dont need to unlock the bootloader its already unlocked thats why you want b506. I dont know exactly how downgrading works never done it. I went trough hyd52rom v7 and v3 but i ended up flashing omni and still using it and 3g works for me (I live in Finland).

[Q] Are roms hosted on http://huaweinews.com officially sanctioned?

Hi guys. The latest OTA update on my P6 is 116. I'm wanting to upgrade to 125 or even kitkat but I can't see these international roms hosted on huawei's personal website.
This makes me think that Huawei do not condone the usage of these roms and put me off because I am worried about anything that could happen.
Would any user-modified rom install on an unrooted P6 or only those that are huawei-signed would install on it?
I'm looking for international versions.
Thanks for your assistance!

Anyone please?

Yes, the firmwares on there are fine. They are either leaked firmwares, or official ones that were released in various countries.
B125 is a pretty solid firmware that everyone who is unhappy with the performance of the kitkat roms, seems to revert back to. [emoji2]

Flashing with different region firmware.

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....

Ya after first flash I went through bootloop, after the second one it was fine. Now enjoying Lollipop on my tablet.

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.

Austrailian Lollipop on US M919?

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
