[Q] Rooting different models' firmware to Galaxy S5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
I have a galaxy S5, it is from China and it is original. I downloaded antutus apk file from my computer and transfered it to my phone then installed the apk file. And i benchmarked my phone. It is real. The model name is SM-G9006V.
As i checked all the samsung galaxy s5 phones on earth have the same cpus and gpus except the models with octa core and korean models. I live in Turkey, in Turkey model name for galaxy S5 is G900 or G900F or G900FQ. It doesnt matter language for me so doesnt matter if the firmware includes Turkish language.
My question is, would it be a problem if i root G900F's firmware to my G9006v?
currently my phone works, i can make calls and search the web. I don't have google play store, baidu search engine is on my home screen and i want it to be google. And i think there will be more problems in the future i think, because of the restrictions of China government on my phones software.
I tried these:
a>GoogleServicesFramework(Check your phone via RE explorer)
b>GoogleLoginService
c>Google play store(lastest version is better)
With latest versions. Play store is opening but not connecting to internet, first time it asked me for my gmail account and i logged in. It is currently shows that i am logged in to my google account on play store. But play store doesnt connect to internet. And i also tried downloading apps from the browser hoping it directs me to play store properly but phone software doesnt recognize play store(i think).
So would it be any problem if i install another model's firmware?(I personally do not think it will be a problem because all the hardware are the same). And would it make any features disappear?
Or how can i get over these problems with different solutions?

Ik , just do factory setting , asus zenfone 4 also get the problem..

I think you didn't understand the problem. In china google is banned. So this restrictions are in the stock rom. And i also did factory settings.

Oh , sorry ya..

[Q] Clone Galaxy Note 3

I bought a fake Samsung Galaxy note 3 (big mistake, glup !)
You can the caracteristics on the attach file.
As is, this smartphone works very well : GPS, WiFi, 3G, Sound, Bluetooth, ... are operational.
But I cannot install a French ROM and I cannot install Play Store (won't start).
With Aptoïde, I was able to install other applications and so everything works very well.
Is there a solution for the evolutions of the ROM? (The device is root of origin)
Is it normal that Play Store bugs?
Is there a market for this type of devices because I am afraid that is too technic for me ?
Thank you for your help ?
It is a clone, and therefore no roms for it, for not original devices, hardly anything in the forums will work, even for original ones, there are many variants, and only a small number work for cross variants, n900w8-n9005, n900-n900, and so on, if you cant install play store, try in aptoide with an old version, not the latest one, hopefully that will work, luck

Trying to install original Note 3 ROMs will very likely hard-brick your clone.
Your device however might be the same as the one discussed in this thread, so you should eventually look for more details there:

Need Help Flashing Note 4 SM-N9106W

Hi Guys;
I was tricked buying a N9106W off gumtree with it was advertised as a N9100 Note 4 Dual SIM:
The problem is that I cant find any firmware for the N9106W except for the branded china unicom one on sammobile.
The firmware is impossible to use as it is missing google account, google play store and when someone calls me only their phone number will appear even if they are already saved to contacts, and also they will appear as from somewhere in china under the call locations.
I tried to flash the N9100 firmware with ODIN thinking they are the same phone, but i got Auth Error,
also tried this one but phone got stuck in boot loop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-stock-n9106wznu1anig-t2893375
can someone please help me with a link to a good stock firmware with no branding? prefer 5.0.1
or is there a way to force odin to flash N9100 firmware on the N9106W? Since they are the same phone.
Thanks!
They are NOT the same phone, and you cannot just flash the stock firmware file for another model.
You need to flash the stock firmware for the N9106W. Use the search function in XDA, there are several instances which will tell you how to install Google apps on such devices
all the firmware i can find for the N9106W is china unicom branded, and most of the info i can find on this phone is in chinese

Recently bought a Yoga Tab 3 Plus from china and can't access google play store. HELP

Hey all. As the title says I recently got the tab 3 plus from China and as such it isn't loaded with anything google related. I tried downloading the apk files for google services and store but it seems lenovo have gone out of their way to make sure these things don't work on the device. After many hours trying to figure out how to solve my problem I stumbled upon a video on youtube of a man who flashed a Chinese version of the device with global row firmware. Unfortunately he did not mention how he went about doing this, so here I am in a desperate attempt to figure it out. Going to be honest I was really hoping I wouldn't have to risk bricking my device just so I can use the apps I like. Any help on the safest way to go about this procedure would be greatly appreciated.
Quick edit my model number is YT-X703F running android 6.0.1
I don't know anything about the China version. Have you tried changing the language? Settings/ Personal/ Language and settings.
Download the Google Play apk to your computer. Transfer apk to the tabs Download folder.
