looking at getting a Samsung Galaxy S5 and have noticed that they are not the same models. ie. G900I, G900F etc. could anyone explain the difference please. i am in Australia by the way. thanks
Basically the region and/or the cell provider. There's a list somewhere on XDA that goes over each model.

I believe all the ones that aren't CDMA?
From GSMArena:
Samsung Galaxy S5
Available as:
Samsung SM-G900F - for Europe
Samsung SM-G900I - for Asia
Samsung SM-G900K/G900L/G900S - for Korea
Samsung SM-G900M - for Vodafone
Samsung SM-G900A - for AT&T
Samsung SM-G900T - for T-Mobile
Samsung SM-G900V - for Verizon
Samsung SM-G900R4 - for US Cellular
Samsung SM-G900P - for Sprint
As for which one for Australia, I have no idea. I believe that for other devices Australia uses the EU model, so it's likely that one. But I can't guarantee it.
I'm from Malaysia but here have f version only and in Indonesia only version h

The official australian version is G900I since G900F doesn't support some of the LTE frequencies (700Mhz and 2300Mhz).

Hi
I have a follow question , but till now i did not found the ansfer for.
I have G900W8 but shortly will migrate to Europe, and would like to use my own language, that is currently not supported by W8 firmware.
Is it safe to use G900F firmware and flash it to G900W8 model ? or i will kill it
Change model number
May I know how can I flash SM-900F firmware on an SM0900I Galaxy S5 as the Australian SM-900I firmware has some limitations?

Search for 'Odin' in the forums and download the firmware from www.sammobile.com.

People really shouldn't flash firmwares that are not meant for your phone. While they might be 99% identical, there are some differences like the 3g/4g bands that the device supports.

I bought the G900F in Hong Kong and works perfectly well in Australia on Vodafone 4G. I also flashed the UK BTU firmware over the stock ZHU firmware and simply brilliant.
I think you limit yourselves buying the G900I version as the G900F has far more options for flashing stock firmwares, and works perfectly well in Australia. The G900I version reminds me of the S4 Mini (i9195T version) which was Vodafone/Telstra only and never received the 4.3 update, or any others for that matter.... Better to get a phone that has world wide coverage, than one that's limited to Australia if you care about timely updates.
FYi, if you check www.samfirmware.com, you'll see that the listed G900I is only Australia and Taiwan... G900F is everything from Europe to Asia.
I have the G900H in south America.
I bought S5- SM-G900F from Dubai airport and wanted to know if it will work in India/US
thanks for info
am just wondering if compatability of different models and 4G coverage
Thanks
I have a SM-G900F phone in Australia for last 2 years., and have no problems whatsoever.

Well, it's both. It's for the international model (n9005) but it is for Thailand Region - with Asian firmware you need to be careful as a number of them have different partitions to rest of the world and they can cause problems.
Unless you wish to get into the nuts and bolts of ROM updates, best to stick with the same region your phone currently is set to - there's an app called Phone INFO Samsung which can give you all the details about your set up.

Anyone be able to provide a download link for 5.1.1 for j120w please?
Thanks in advance
i have a link to the firmware for SM-J120W (Canada)
or at least it worked great for me when I needed to flash my j120w Chatr phone with the original firmwares after my phone became "softbricked" when i made a change* to my plan which required me to install on my "unlocked" (by me)(previously locked to network) phone. I used Odin to flash. Sorry i cant post it since this is my first reply or posting after 10 or so postings i can put the link ...

Hi guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 (6) [SM-J510F/DS] PLpurchased from Kuwait. It's an UAE version. I brought it for use in India on Reliance Jio 4g network. Unfortunately the device doesn't support VoLTE despite having the Qualcomm chipset which I guess is same aboard the Indian J5 (2016) models. Samsung UAE customer support informed my phone doesn't have VoLTE. Is there anyway I can make it work? Like installing an Indian firmware 'coz my phone is running stock Rom and firmware . I checked for any OTA updates and none was available. I am in a dilemma now coz I came back from a Lumia to Android and I am stuck with just 4g coz of some manufacturer policy. Please help guys.
Then flash Indian firmware for ur model

VoLTE is based on software according to me. So you can try your luck with an Indian firmware. However i can't guarantee if it will work that way if there is a difference between your phone chipset and standard phone chipset.
There is no Indian ROM

ok, you should be able to flash any G900F tar.md5 file from any country on it. You have the international verison of that phone and it has TONS of tar.md5's for it that will all work just fine. only signal difference you will notice is in the different radios that are in the different tarballs, other than that, they should all work the same
Hello
I have a India Region S8 which is not locked by any provider. As I am in Australia I wanted to install the Australian version so that I get the Samsung Pay options for Australia.
Does anyone know how to update the Samsung Pay or entire OS to Australia?
Will installing official samsung version of Australian rom trip my knox?
Please help.
Anyone??

Since urs is an Indian model of the s8.. It will be the Exynos variant.
If Australia also sells Exynos variant (which I think it does), then u can directly download the Australian firmware from sammobile for ur model and flash it with odin.
Make sure u download the firmware of Exynos itself.
And flashing this wont trip Knox.
