Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (China/CDMA) SM-N9009 Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N9009 firmware?
N9009KES2GQB1, released March 23, 2017 with Android 5. It is a security update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 17 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (China/CDMA) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since March 2017, so Android 5 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
