[Q] Different variants - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I live in Australia and there is a couple of different models being sold by different retailers here namely SM-G900X and SM-G900I. With all my previous Galaxy phones I used to flash them to Polish ROMs as they got firmware updates well in advance of Australia but the Polish ROM is SM-G900F. Is there any issue still doing this does anyone know? I cant even find a 900I ROM to reflash with if something goes wrong and I don't want to brick my phone the second day I have it.

Anyone have any idea? Also the Australian 900I version has its dock icons locked which is annoying.

im in the same boat as you maye so frustrating

There must be someone game enough to try this out. There all isn't a 900I ROM available anywhere.

Ok I gave up waiting for an answer and went and saw a friend in retail with stock and we tried it on his demo unit. You CAN NOT flash a 900F from onto a 900I it errors out before it begins saying the model is different.
Seems like we are stuck with the handicaps imposed on our model as Samsung has chosen to make regional models.

Same thing with the Aus S4. You can unlock the dock but you'd have to root the phone first.

The S4 I just flashed mine to a UK or Polish ROM and had no issues and got updates earlier.

galaxy s4 i9505 t mobile

I was looking at the updates to the s4 and saw the update thinking that it was for the ee s4 with disastrous consequences. I now have the t mobile set up with my ee card. Do not have wifi just wont switch on and it has 4g in the Window where you would find the normal 3g logo. There are also a couple of issues. So my main question is where would I find the stock rom or the update to put it back to normal

O'k thanks for that. His is a Telstra Phone, where mine is just the International Generic, yet the Firmware of both phones is identical.

Random reboots - GT-I9505, Help`?

Hi, i've got my hands on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running 4.2.2 MH6. Im updating it at the moment. but it reboots atleast 2 to 3 times a day. for no reason? it's not modded but AVG is installed. could that be the problem?
Can you make screenshots about your app launcher and sys info? Looks like some strange apps led to that. Or you can try to flash a Perseus kernel(or Adam,up to u).

Updated it to 4.3 but the problems are still there, it's under warranty. i noticed now that there was another problem. Network signal goes off then after some seconds it reboots as well. Should i turn it in again? it was just in for screen replacement! problems started after the screen was replaced! no problems before! it's a freind of mine that has this phone! and no he isn't going to mod his phone.
Anyone?

As already mentioned in other threads it's most likely that's the battery that needs to be changed due to a series of bad batteries that was shipped with the galaxy S4.
try it out with another battery and your problem will be solved

[Q] Returning rooted samsung galaxy s5 with camera problem

Idk if there is a thread for this, but i have a particular problem.
I had originally rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5, but unrooted it the next day. (No roms or anything) (i rooted correctly)
I found out i tripped the knox counter (not the problem, well sorta)
The problem is that a week later out of nowhere my camera stops working.
I want to know, if i go in for a return. What will happen? Will i have to pay for the replacement? If so, how much?
I have the T-Mobile version and i am on the jump program.
I need answers before i try turning it in tomorrow.

Just do it and you will find out. They're not going to steal your phone nor be calling the FBI.

[Q] Convert Japanese Note 3 to Australia?

Hello all
I finally got myself a Note 3. Domoco SC-01F version.
Good price seems to be because it qont do data in Australia. So I'm hoping its the same hardware and just a firware / modem flash away from full data functionality. Maybe an Optus firmware flash might fix it?
I'd appreciate any words on this process. Especially if its a different radio chip and I'd be wasting my time trying. I hope I didn't get scammed...
Thanks for reading my post and in advance for any clues you can share with me.

[Solved] OK it was just that the APN settings had to manually entered to bring data to life. All working fine now ☺
