The SMG900F is the best supported model if you like rooting, flashing and modding and It also supports the download booster. It has a Qualcomm 801 Quadcore cpu.

International is a vague description, but 900F and 900H would best fit the appellation. As noted above the 900F and a variety of other variant models have the download booster feature. You could check with carriers or search the forum if you want to learn whether specific variants also utilize that feature.

LOL just don't get why people want to import from Korea. They are 200$ more expensive, they don't support other country 4G frequency, they have got stupid koreen restriction, and they are bigger than international version.
What is the point to pay such as a phone?

Actually, it's the same size. Exactly the same size.
EDIT: First, the Korean Variant is sold cheaper than the International Variant here in our country. Second, we confirmed that the phone's LTE bands are working with our networks. Third, what Korean restrictions? The SMS thing? Mine's already set to 160 characters. Fourth, as I've said earlier, the size is the same. I'm using an S-Cover from the International Variant on my device.
.... so yeah. Why would we want this S4 LTE Octa-core variant, neh?

Plus, it's Octa-Core LTE capable and has a 32Gb internal SD memory unlike the other two SGS IV variant which is actually a combination in specs of the i9500 (Octa-Core/Non-LTE/16Gb internal SD) and i9505 (Quad-Core/LTE capable/16Gb internal SD) variant.
How did you put 140 char to 160?tia!

[Q] difference between n900w8 and n9000-n9005

Hey everyone.
I'd like to ask what's the differences between the n900w8 and the n9000-n9005?
I live in Canada and I would like to buy the note 3 but the only model offered here is the n900w8 and I don't know if there is any support here or i can flash different roms/kernels etc.
If I can't I will order an n9005 from Europe or USA.
Thanks!

About N900W8
it s one of the LTE edition of Note3
it means thr s same support for it like N9005
But thr might be difference between date of update or something like this
but kernel version and ROM will be same unless firmware or some minor update
So don't worry about buying it
:good:

If it's the snapdragon model then it may be possible to use 9005 roms, I wouldn't bank on it too much though as there is obviously differences in kernels, modem and firmware though.
Has anyone tried flashing 9005 roms on 900w8 ?
Yes cause hardware is same but u will have same kernel but rom maybe different

I have the SM-G906K version of the prime device, is that still doable?

I wouldn`t risk flashing firmware that`s designed for a different device model, in this case the G900F firmware on a G906K.

There isn't a lot of reliable information about your model so there is no authorative answer.
Most will say that it's risky and not recommended to flash a firmware from another variant. As well, you don't simply have a different variant of the 801 Snapdragon based S5. You have a derivative model, with a different processor (805), screen resolution, et cetera. Strongly arguing that it is highly unlikely to work and would likely brick your phone.
The best you might hope for is someone alleging that they were able to do so. And then you'd still need to estimate the credibility of such a report.
If you have root and a custom recovery installed, you could remove much of the risk by trying a 900F based custom ROM, e.g. the Phoenix ROM, rather than flash stock 900F firmware. All in all though, it's an improbable fit.

Thanks for your help guys.
Yep, I imported this model for the specs. It's not a real drama on the stock firmware tbh. I just wanted to remove the splash screen and network installed apps from Korea.
I've hidden the apps, but there are still a couple of Korean bits and pieces I would like to get rid of. Maybe a firmware or suitable rom will become available soon.
No, u can't use the SM-G900F firmware on the SM-G906K

What difference between these models? Differences are just supported networks?
Can they exchange both ROMs? (ex. N910C XEO overwrites to N910U models)
i want to know too.. can anyone confirm if we can use any exynos rom on models n910 C,U,K ?

As what u quoted from your post, it shows clearly about those versions are different between the network frequencies that they support. Sorry for my bad English....
At the moment, I think 910U can support most of the networks.

No, you have to use or better use the rom that is exact the version u are having. Or u may lose your network connection.

How to switch SM-G955N to SM-G955F on S8+

Hi,
I recently bought a S8+ (Exynos) from a Korean friend..
It works fine but constantly ask for roaming cause I'm not in Korea.
so I tried to install Official firmware SM-G955F with Odin but it didn't work.
I have to install the official firmware SM-G955N again to be able to use it and also I could root it.:fingers-crossed:
It is possible to change the firmware from SM-G955N to SM-G955F?

No, yours is snapdragon, g955f is exynos. You can't flash firmware from that model since they have different chipsets

SM-955x specs
This is just an FYI for anyone else that might read this thread looking for info.
It is correct that many of the SM-9500 (S8) and SM-955 (S8+) variants (US, Canada, Japan, China, Hong Kong) use the Snapdragon 835 chipsets but all of the variants of both S8 and S8+ that the whole rest of the world got all use the Exynos 8895 chipset. That's a ton of phablets. There's a lot of misinformation out there but if you look at the spec sheets that Samsung has themselves supply as well as the official Wikipedia page, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Another for instance, I've seen lots of sites that say the S8+ has 4GB of RAM which is only true of the 64GB version. The 128GB version has 6GB of RAM.
If you look around on XDA and a handful of other sites, people have flashed different CSC's with varying degrees of success. I have no idea where the issue stand currently, but I am working on figuring out what I'm going to do with my SM-955N variant right now. I don't need it working completely ATM as I still have my daily driver but I will be rooting (no warranty anyway since it was imported) and flashing. I am playing around with it and so far everything works great. I just haven't gone as far as getting it on the network as my SIM is one of those that can be resized to different sizes. It's currently a MicroSIM and once I snap the edge off to make it a NanoSIM I can't go back...without some super glue LOL! I'm not sure I want to risk that just yet as I don't want any of that glue getting inside my phone.
