Our friend there was on stock but foreign rom (Poland JB)
He want to receive M'sia JB via FOTA/Kies
He do Nandroid back to M'sia firmware via CWM.
Tried FOTA/Kies but rejected..stating phone modified.
Found out his phone firmware mix M'sa and Poland firmware.
Had to flash again M'sia firmware via Odin/MobikeOdin.
In order to have normal status..have to factory reset.
Otherwise status still be modified.
End of saga...
Base on my experience when i was on Note 1, i flashed multiple country ROM from GERMAN to HK to Malaysia (all stocks) so far no data loss
