I am looking for an s5 that would support most custom roms available on xda. I ve seen so many models in the market, its really confusing. So far i ve ruled out 900 H/K/S.
What about the 900F and 900I? Are they KLTE devices?
How about you get on the right device page? This is for the LG NEXUS 5.
Wow that's embarrassing!

Hey I'm new to this site so sorry if this is the wrong place to post or if it had been answered before!
What does it mean when people refer to the S4 as the Samsung I9500? I have the US Cellular SCH-R970 and I would like to root it and install a more stock android like rom on it and I've been trying to do some research but I keep getting hung up because I don't see my model listed very much. I do how ever see everyone throwing out Samsung I9500 though. Can someone explain this and possibly point me in the right direction?
i9500 is the international exynos version i think.
i9505 is the international snapdragon 600 version.
i9506 is the international snapdragon 800 version.
there are also other models. you can find a lot more info on gsmarena.com

Thanks for getting back to me. That makes sense. So do you know if the US Cellular version of the S4 is limited in roms I can put on it? Like I said, I haven't really seen much on my version.
Well it depends very much on the number of devices sold.
depending on what you want - if you like a specific custom rom - you should search for it on the forums or strait through google. It is very easy to search for something like: SCH-R970 cyanogenmod 11 xda -> resulting in some useful threads.
good luck! and good flashing!
Hi Awesome ppl of xda. I'm from Australia and looking at getting note 4, when looking on Samsung's Au site the model number is sm-910G which has the same network bands as the sm-910f. I would like to root n use custom roms to fix the sd card. Iv looked in the SnapDragon development forum as see that sm-910f has few roms already. So want to know would I be able to flash a sm-910f Rom on a sm-910g device. I'm new to Samsung but been using adb and fastboot from HTC desire, HTC one x to One Plus one. So not a total nOOb. Cheers guys.

-F- ROM is for the 910F, -G- ROM for the 910G
So NO: you can't flash -F- ROM on a -G- model! Logical...

Stick to G mate. Or get N910U exynos model. It's fine for Australia. I'm rocking it right now
cheers guys, I'll just get the sm-910U due to being a lot easer to get online and roms are starting to come out for it.
What is the difference between the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900M vs Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F? Im curious as to what makes these devices so different that one rom can't run on both of the devices. On the HTC One forums once you have a GSM based HTC One (Not dual sim) you can pretty much load any of the ROMs on your phone.(Tmobile,A&T,International) but here samsung has so many difference types.
I think you can install 900F ROMs on 900M .. you might just have some problems with phone funtionality but since 900F has GSM, it should work on 900M ..
You can always try by your self as long as you have a nandroid backup
Hi Guys,
I am "desperately" looking for some info/support regarding my galaxy S5.
I own a phone model SM-G900FQ which is a variant of the european SM-G900F but sold on the Turkish market.
I did some research, and I don't see any major difference between the F and FQ versions.
I am not Turkish, I don't speak Turkish and I don't live in Turkey. I would really love to flash my cellphone with a custom ROM but I am really unsure of what roms would be supported for this device.
Could someone help me identify what kind of ROM versions are compatible? I check the unified development area, but I can't tell if this phone is a kletmo or klte or something else.
I would love to install CM12 on this cell phone
i am not %100 sure, but i know that they are both exactly the same phones. g900fq and g900f have got same specification. They both have got 2 gb ram, snapdragon 801AC and adreno 330. their name are different only and it's just for marketting in my opinion

Yes, they seem to be exactly identical so I was hoping that I could use ROMs designed for the g900f on this phone.
It really feels like I am one of the only owners of this model on earth. So difficult to find information or guidance ^^
Just wanted to come and update this topic.
I flashed successfuly my galaxy S5 with the cyanogenmod rom compatible with the SM-G900F.
It is no longer regognized as SM-G900FQ
Just in case someone in my situation is wondering
Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and although I definitely should've checked the model number I did not. My mistake. But I've come to realize that the phone is a Korean variant and as such I can't modify it and put custom ROMs on it - if you can, I'm not sure how.
I'm a novice on smartphones and putting custom ROMs on them, I've done it before on a Note 3 that I owned (Canadian variant).
Since there aren't any custom ROMs (that I can find) for the Korean variant... Is it possible I can somehow convert the phone to an international variant or perhaps force the process?
Thanks in advance.

Try this ROM...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-nemesis-refined-v3-5-n7port-t3587637
I have an n910s too...
Tried almost all ROMS and this is the best one.
Good luck.
If you find a way to convert to international version please let me know how to.
Thanks.
Thank for the input but I'm going to be returning the phone and getting an international or Canadian variant, as I would like to use LineageOS on it or something similar. I don't want any ROMs that look or feel like TouchWiz.
