Phone is not locked to any subscriber and was never rooted.
Assuming I can go from Taiwan to India, version, I am getting following when doing ODIN:

Please help and suggest.
The fail is suggesting that the India firmware is a downgrade to the firmware on the phone.
But, if the Taiwan and India firmwares ares as listed that is not a downgrade.
Can you dial *#1234# to check the firmware on your phone.
having the same issue. My phone also came from Taiwan trying to flash to Philippines.

Also having the same result.
Flash the firmware with the PIT file
SM-N9208 OLB multi CSC ( CAM GLB MYM SMA THL XID XME XSE XTC XTE XXV )
NOBLELTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN150M.pit

Thanks greenman.
I did *#1234# and found following:
AP : N9208ZTU3BQB1
CP : N9208ZTU4BQB1
CSC : N9208ZZT3BQB1
Please suggest if I can flash India firmware on Taiwanese Note 5
Yes, but use the India pit file here:
SM-N9208 ODI multi CSC ( BNG INS INU NPL SLI SLK )
NOBLELTE_EUR_OPEN.pit

I am sorry I am not aware where to find Note 5 India specific PIT file. Can you please let me know? Thanks in advance and for quick response.
Thank you greenman.
Next steps using ODIN were actually simple.
Using the India Nougat MD5 file in AP and PIT file in PIT tab and keeping RE-PARTITION option NOT checked, I got the following:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Please suggest if there is a way around to this
Should I have kept RE-PARTITION option checked in above while flashing using PIT and India MD5?
