Hi,
I'm looking for some information about which variants of Galaxy S5 are available in EU (SM-G900F, SM-G900T/A... any other ones?) and what the differences between them are. Are there any variants that were not rooted yet? Are any of the available variants are likely to receive less support from the modding community (which, if I'm not mistaken, was the case with 3G only variant of Galaxy S4).
I will most likely be purchasing S5 within next few weeks and since I cannot stand TW rooting and flashing a custom ROM will be the first thing I'll do so I would like to know if there's anything that I should be aware of.
Thanks!

after rooting can i use any another software varient of the s6 egde+. since mine is an at&t varient,there isn't much there.and mostly all the mods and roms i have seen here is for the other varients.
will there be any problem if i flash the stock rom of indian varient in it?
As at&t uses also GSM network you should be able, just make sure you do use a kernel that match your model.
It's been awhile since I have owned a Samsung and I'm about to get a Note 4 so I was wondering what Android 7.0 Roms are out that will work with the AT&T Snapdragon model. I see Roms for all the international models and even the T-Mobile variants but I don't see anything for the AT&T variant. I will have to brush up on my flashing and Rom'ing skills as it's been too long since I have done it but I am familiar with doing all this. Thanks guys.

There is no custom ROMs for at&t model to be honest. At&t lock there devices down completely so at present there is no root, no twrp and no ROMs. Dont think there ever will be
callumbr1 , yeah, I have been doing allot of research and it's very disappointing. But there is always getting a t mobile device unlocked and still being able to enjoy some Nougat love.....
Is it because lack of interest or just now being developed on?
The international models always see more love custom ROM wise then the other models like the Canadian variant. I've got a stock Canadian ROM in the T-Mobile section if you wanted to check it out it doesn't have much to it, pretty much just rooted stock, but I will be releasing a Nougat based one when we get an update to 7.0! Cheers!
Due to closed source exynos
So I'm looking to pick up a Galaxy S8 because it seems to have more development than my Pixel XL but I would like to know any recommendations on which Model is the best for unlocking and rooting/custom roms I have T-Mobile in the USA so it would be preferable to be compatible with that carrier

There is the SamPWND method for rooting it includes using adb t though, as far as custom roms there are none, we have locked bootloader's and it doesn't look like that'll change any time soon. Also once rooted, you can only charge to 80% only. The best we've got are the Oreo beta firmware, that's about it. The only one that has custom roms is the international version G950F but from what I've seen it doesn't work well on US networks.
S8 does have a handful of ROMs but as of now, there's not even an official LineageOS ROM for S8. Surely pixels are bound to have several devs contributing. One more thing, s9 is just a few months away, so I'd rather wait if I were you.
get the exynos version if you want root the snapdragon root is very limited and there are hardly an roms for it. i have a g950f i use the batman rom and the notorious kernal.

I recommend sm-g955fd model. it's dual sim and very easy to root
Considering purchasing a used Tab A 8 with S-Pen (European version). Models are SM-P200 or SM-P205 (depending on whether it has LTE support or just Wifi).
Often the S-Pen support in custom ROMs is flaky, but still curious if this model has been unlocked and if there are custom roms?
I'm also looking for a fw.

Bumping this to see if there have been any ROMS that are compatible with the SM-P200
