Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon) SM-N9005 Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N9005 firmware?
N9005XXSGBRI2, released March 20, 2019 with Android 5. It is a security update on bootloader binary 16. The archive holds 20 official builds across 15 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since March 2019, so Android 5 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Can I downgrade the SM-N9005 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 16:
