I think: The customs ROMs (firmwares) without bootloader is possible. But if you use ODIN, and try to flash a Stock ROM G900F at G900M the result is FAIL...
Is this correct?? Anyone?
Thanks.

That exact same thought, if I use a stock rom on my g900m g900f using odin, I will obtain what is error (fail) but in case of a custom rom? and read the G900i and g900t are using and what algunso report minor errors or lag (I think I could make do with a wipe) but for g900m what anyone said anything, but I assume that it may ... and not about the kernel? and the modem? if the modem could understand because they use the same hardware .... any answers?

I just flashed shohat rom v3 and ael kernel v1 on my g900m. So seems to be fine. ymmv though.

You reckon it will apply to all Snapdragon LTE models of the GS5?
In Australia it appears that they only have the SM-G900i model, so I am wondering if it is worth the hassle to specifically get the F model.

You should be fine. Only thing is if your carrier locks boot loader. I've seen ROMs that say they are for the I variant, but if it's Snapdragon it should be fine.

I'm in the same boat mate. Got my Note 3 a few weeks ago and was surprised to find a different mdoel N9007. Don't care about the knox status and really want to get rid of all the carrier bloatware. I can see the HK version of stock Samsung rom but not sure if it is suitable for our devices.

if it's the same model then it should work. You should check against your PDA version when you type *#1234#, if it is N9007ZH download the HK version, if it is N9007DI download the Australian version.

Firmware is available on Sammobile but yes they are all carrier bloated.
For those of you still wondering, as long as you are on the 4.4.2 bootloader/modem, you can flash any aosp Rom and have no issues with mobile data or lte. The model number on your phone will change in the "about phone" section, bu if you can live with that, then no issues at all. I've just tried the Lollipop alpha build, and that worked fine, along with a bunch of other 4.4.4 AOSP roms and all ran smoothly.

[Q] SM-N910C vs SM-N910H

Is there any difference between the models? Can I flash fw from 910C to 910H with out bricking anything?

Thanks guys. I suppose now I can be a little more adventurous. Is there any hardware difference?
AFAIK, the difference is N910H doesn't have LTE
How do I do that? Or can you explain me what exactly do you mean? I have a N910H and I'd like to flash roms down the road (maybe if some AOSP comes out later) but I have noticed most roms so far are coming for the C version.

You can flash the f/w. I am using WanamLite for N910C on my N910H and it works fine. Of course 4G/LTE is not functioning.
The only last step to the conversion is establishing if the modem of N910C will work on N910H. Until now, we know that the modem hardware is the same on N910H and N910C. I haven't tried to flash the modem on my N910H because I really don't want to brick my 800$ device I bought last week. Down the road someone is bound to try it, then we can even enjoy 4G on our N910H variant if it works

1- As far as I know, no, the modem stays untouched while flashing custom ROMs through CWM/TWRP. Maybe someone with more experience on the matter could confirm this.
2- Both are much better and have noticeably better battery life.

What is rom's are compatible with Canadian SM-G900W8 S5's?

I've been looking around but can't seem to find a straight answer. Does anybody know what american (or international ) rom's we can use? For example, Cyanogenmod has multiple klte's.
The Canadian phone use gsm networks. Would it use tmobile's roms or at&t's ?

I asked the same question and was told that we can only use specific W8 Roms up here. Unless its unified and AOSP. There's a moron named 'thatsupnow' running around here saying flash anything, but don't listen to him. While I can't confirm with absolute certainty, I do believe were stuck with Roms from Canadian telecoms., as far as stock goes anyway. COLOR="Silver"]

Does this mean I can flash the F lollipop stock ROM and then flash my modem afterwards? Or will I need to wait for L modems for the W8? Sorry guys, I used to be well in the loop in S3 forums. Then I went Nexus for a while. Now I need to do some re learning.

you can flash a rom which is available for n910f on your n910g as long as you have a kernal that supports that rom (for example AEL, Nadia)
and most of the roms in snapdragon section has n910g support
Thanks raveenf,... It's a relief... I've owned htc one, galaxy note 1, htc desire, and galaxy s4 over the last few years. I always owned international version of those phones, so never had any questions in my mind...
Yes you can ,just flash the ael ,Nadia or KT kernel after flashing the rom

Sub-Version G900FQ

Hi there. I have a Galaxy S5 G900FQ. I m currently using TWRP and using CM13 klte version. Until here, there is no problem. In the Galaxy S 5 Android Development Forum, I downloaded Popwiz Telstra and Revolution roms. Both of them are available for G900F. I tried to install both roms but I got bootloops. Is it because of the G900FQ or anything else? Isn't the Q just country code?
Thanks!
Azar_98 said:
yeah Q is just a tiny addition. Doesn't affect anything else. I recommend you to flash 900F stock ROM, then flash TWRP 3.0.2 and then retry the ROMs with data wipe. Good luck.
