You haven't said which specific firmware you're trying to load. Can you provide a link to the file you're trying to flash?
If you attempt to flash firmware that's not intended for your specific model/carrier, bad things can happen, up to and including making the device completely useless.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Model SM-N900P. This was used by my son in USA till November 2014. His carrier was Sprint. In November he gifted to me after legally and properly unlocking it. I am now using it with VODAFONE India as my carrier. GSM Technology. OS is Android 4.3. IMEI No. 990003463750766. Baseband version N900PVPUBMI1. I downloaded Android 5.0 from SAMOBILE website on payment. When I try to install it in my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 through Odin 3.0 I get the message "Unsupport Dev-type". Kindly help how I can get past this hurdle and successfully download the firmware.
