It's risky and not recommended. Apart from whether it would work well, you could brick your phone. Which can be difficult and ocassionally, not possible to recover from.
There simply isn't a lot of reliable information about flashing firmware from other variants.
I won't encourage you to do it, but I would speculate that it's possible. That NFC and a few other things would stop working and that it would be a pointless exercise. You'd also run a moderate risk of bricking your phone. You could reduce that by only flashing the ROM, not the kernel or modem. And in particular if you find the appropriate 900F PIT file and flashed it concurrently.
No warranties, guarantees or anything else. If you proceed, don't say that you weren't warned.
What stands out though is that you omitted a crucial and highly relevant datum. Why? What are you hoping to achieve in doing this?

No you cant. Its like trying to install to install XP windows program on W8

What's on the stock F firmware that's not on the stock W8 that you need ? If you flash a ROM your Basebaband will stay W8 but your phone version will change. Right now i am using XtreStoLite, my model shows a G900T, my baseband is still a W8 ( i'm in Montreal ) and the SE status is enforcing a 900F.
So you flashed a G900T over a G900W8?
My case its a G900W8 (Rogers) and a just want a Multi-CSC option, because I`m live in Brazil and want use the ZTO CSC (for Portuguese, etc). My question: The rom needs be specific to support W8 variant or a 900F can be flashed over TWRP ?
I tested with CM12.1 Nightly, works well, not specific. Just KLTE version. My desite is just a stock version with multilanguage support To my dad usage.

Just looking for if this is true or not? There seems to be conflicting info in the general thread about this. Basically does flashing an official rom from sammobile trip the knox counter?
I know in the past with samsung devices I had, the flash counter would never increase as long the rom was official even if it was from another region.
Just interested in flashing an unbranded UK rom to my 9005 so that's why I'm asking.
Thanks for the help.

If you want to debrand this should be alright as long as you use a rom from the same region / country.
So if you have an uk branded phone, you should flash stock unbranded uk and this shouldnt trigger knox.
Not sure about region differences, but that could trigger knox.
But all this updates the bootloader - I'm still trying to find out what the real consequences are.

It's actually a Malaysian phone so I would be switching over to another region with the UK rom. I just know with my galaxy tab 2 you could flash roms from where ever and it wouldn't trip the counter as long as it was official. So it looks like this isn't the case anymore?
I had Australian TEL and flashed UK BTU and it didn't trip. Just make sure you factory reset after flashing to get the CSC to change.

Ok that's good to know. The only other thing then is what is everyone talking about how the boot loader apparently changes when you flash a different rom?
Just make sure you flash a recent firmware. Apparently there were some phones that shipped without a secure boatloader. If you flash one of these over a secured one it will trip the flash. Basically if you a recent firmware you should be fine.

AFAIK flashing stock firmwares via odin won't trip the Knox binary counter...

hey guys:
so here are some questions about mobile odin app on my SM-G900F
1- so if i root my phone and then open mobile odin i will be able to flash any firmware using my mobile only? ( on the same model SM-G900F ofcourse)
2-my firmware according to samsung kies is NE2 (LEB) it means lebanon in the middle east, can i flash the firmware NG2(uk) via odin?
3-does cf-root by chainfire works when im on NG2 firmware? i mean does it root my device when im on latest firmware?
so those are my questions, i just want to make things clear to not get my phone in trouble
thanks in advance my friends :fingers-crossed:
I didn't try Mobile ODIN so far on my S5 but this is how it is supposed to work.
I did flash latest UK stock rom & it works perfectly. I am in middle east as well by the way. Also rooted my G900F using Cf-root on NG2 with no problem. Just as you may know, this will hit the Knox counter which is unrecoverable so far.

Hello
I have a problem with flashing new stock rom "G900FXXU1BNL9_G900FXEO1BNL1_XEO" by SafeStrap on my at&t s5. I downloaded rom from sammobile it is a zip file but when i try to install it by SafeStrap i have a error
"NO MD5 FILE FOUND".
After unpacked zip file with rom, there is one file "G900FXXU1BNL9_G900FXEO1BNL1_G900FXXU1BNL9_HOME.ta r.md5".
Someone know how can i flash this stock rom? or How can i convert this file to flashable by SafeStrap zip rom?
If it is bad forum section please move it, no remove.
Thags not safestrap flashable, and its also for the g900f, att is g900a wich has a locked bootloader, so even if you flashed it properly(through odin) it wouldnt work.

I know that it is for g900f but with safestrap make specialy for at&t s5 most of roms from g900f and another models should work normally in my g900a.
Any sugestion how can i do this ?

Pretty sure that is untrue, thats not how safestrap works.
Sent from my SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Im sure that it will be work...devices is the same... only software is another and lock bootloader in at&t. I can flash any another flashable zip from this forum and problem is that i cant search zip version of this rom.
I have one suggestion haw can i do this...
I read somewhere that from recovery of system it is possible to do flashable zip. Maybe somebode have s5 without lock bootloader and can flash this rom via odin and make zip for me?
Or maybe another way?
Thanks

No one has an att variant without a locked bootloader, they are all locked. Where did you get these other flashable zips? If it was for the att s5 android development, those werw made to be flashed in safestrap, I think ankther variant's roms can be flashed but im not sure how it all works and its not the g900f. Either way, from the g900f or not, like i said earlier im pretty sure you have to flash in odin, safestrap cant flash firmwares, and even if it could, this firmware is for the g900f like ive also said(its the lolipop firmware, no?) and so you cannot flash it because the locked bootloader prevents it.

I flash via SafeSrap rom called "Omega" from this forum and rom CyanogenMod 11...it was working normally and they are for g900f and works fine in my g900a.
Yes this is lolipop...via odin i cant flash because i have locked bootloader...only via SafeStrap and flashable zips.

I dont understand how thats possible, everyone thats tried that has just gottena soft brick, and for a reason, locked bootloader limits us to touchwiz based roms, and CM11 is AOSP based, so theres no way it would work, are you aure youre using an att variant?

Im thinking you did something that made you think you flashed it and it worked, because it is not possible for it to work, theres no "i dont know how it worked" it literally cant. As has been said in the other thread you started, you can flash stock roms from other variants as long as its tohchwiz based and is 4.4.2, you cant flash lolipop because that is 5.0, and you cant do firmware updates through safestrap. So the answer to your question is no, you cannot get lollipop on your device as of now.

Ok i undestand...im sure that i have had CM11(4.4.2)...
Maybe you know where can i find stock rom from g900f with 4.4.2 android..

Hello guys i have a samsung LTE note 3 , singapore version.
I am using the phone in India.
there are many note 3 that have got the lollipop version.
baseband N9005DXUGNK1
version 4.4.2
1. can i flash the UK (vodafone) lollipop version on my phone via ODIN ?
2. will it trip my knox after flashing?
3. Will i have to unlock my phone after flashing to use Indian sim? (because when i got the phone i did not have to unlock it)
Better if you flash poland one.

What is the reason that I should flash Poland? Because I have already downloaded the UK version .
And is it safe to flash
