What is rom's are compatible with Canadian SM-G900W8 S5's? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking around but can't seem to find a straight answer. Does anybody know what american (or international ) rom's we can use? For example, Cyanogenmod has multiple klte's.
The Canadian phone use gsm networks. Would it use tmobile's roms or at&t's ?
Thanks in advance

I asked the same question and was told that we can only use specific W8 Roms up here. Unless its unified and AOSP. There's a moron named 'thatsupnow' running around here saying flash anything, but don't listen to him. While I can't confirm with absolute certainty, I do believe were stuck with Roms from Canadian telecoms., as far as stock goes anyway. COLOR="Silver"]

U can flash anything from att to tmo or international except for specefied ones like g900H. Im using rom from g900f. I think the one with "H" at the end have different specs. Oh btw i have the canadian version from fido

Does this mean I can flash the F lollipop stock ROM and then flash my modem afterwards? Or will I need to wait for L modems for the W8? Sorry guys, I used to be well in the loop in S3 forums. Then I went Nexus for a while. Now I need to do some re learning.

I think: The customs ROMs (firmwares) without bootloader is possible. But if you use ODIN, and try to flash a Stock ROM G900F at G900M the result is FAIL...
Is this correct?? Anyone?

That exact same thought, if I use a stock rom on my g900m g900f using odin, I will obtain what is error (fail) but in case of a custom rom? and read the G900i and g900t are using and what algunso report minor errors or lag (I think I could make do with a wipe) but for g900m what anyone said anything, but I assume that it may ... and not about the kernel? and the modem? if the modem could understand because they use the same hardware .... any answers?

You reckon it will apply to all Snapdragon LTE models of the GS5?
In Australia it appears that they only have the SM-G900i model, so I am wondering if it is worth the hassle to specifically get the F model.

You should be fine. Only thing is if your carrier locks boot loader. I've seen ROMs that say they are for the I variant, but if it's Snapdragon it should be fine.

AFAIK, the difference is N910H doesn't have LTE
How do I do that? Or can you explain me what exactly do you mean? I have a N910H and I'd like to flash roms down the road (maybe if some AOSP comes out later) but I have noticed most roms so far are coming for the C version.

You can flash the f/w. I am using WanamLite for N910C on my N910H and it works fine. Of course 4G/LTE is not functioning.
The only last step to the conversion is establishing if the modem of N910C will work on N910H. Until now, we know that the modem hardware is the same on N910H and N910C. I haven't tried to flash the modem on my N910H because I really don't want to brick my 800$ device I bought last week. Down the road someone is bound to try it, then we can even enjoy 4G on our N910H variant if it works

1- As far as I know, no, the modem stays untouched while flashing custom ROMs through CWM/TWRP. Maybe someone with more experience on the matter could confirm this.
2- Both are much better and have noticeably better battery life.

you can flash a rom which is available for n910f on your n910g as long as you have a kernal that supports that rom (for example AEL, Nadia)

For recovery, you can use the hlteskt/n900s version, which is compatible.
Unfortunately, there are no custom ROMs for your variant,
yeah, most likely i have this really BEST luck with me for smartphones that i really do need to suffer.
Darklord S6 ROM was compatible to my phone, but the CM12 has no reply if compatible with my model.
is there a way for me to use CM 12 since my previous phone also has no update for CM12

If you use CM, or any AOSP-based ROM, you won't be able to do voice calls or text messages. That's because of how the LGU+ network is set up in Korea, and your variant is built specifically for that network.

after that i installed again the cwm n900s version kk via odin3 and it went ok but the system.ui crashed when i turn on my device.
i go to cwm recovery and wipe cache hoping to fix the problem then the system.process(i think) not responding and displaying black only.
i really want to fix the phone without wiping or factory resetting but panic comes first to me.
now it is ok.

Samsung SM-G935F/SM-G935W8 ROM difference?

Greetings!
I would appreciate if someone could tell me the difference between these two Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs? I know for previous models, It was safe to flash a 'F' variant ROM onto a 'W8' variant.
Does this still apply?
I'm interested in flashing the SuperNexus 2.0 build on my Canadian Galaxy S7 Edge.
Cheers!
i have a sm-g935w8 currently flashed with king rom v8 and jesse kerne and no problem
and from what i have read is the f version is the international one and w8 is only for canada but seems to have the same hardware but different software like modem and bootloader

Oh Interesting I was hoping it would. Since its the same hardware, I was hoping that maybe I would be able to use band 30 if I flashed the g935w8 modem and firmware on my g935f.

I believe you could flash the modem through Odin but don't quote me on that. I know that even if you wanted to flash firmware Odin won't let you do it. If you tried modems only maybe? I think the bands are hardware anyways, can't manipulate them.

I see, that makes sense then. I was just reading other's posts that said the g935w8 is the same hardware as the g935f (considering they are both exynos), so I thought maybe that the LTE bands were due to software differences. But if its a hardware difference its probably a bad idea for me to try it.
Thanks for the feedback guys! Currently running Debloated DD1.1. Really recommend it!
Guys I bought a canadian g935w8, and I do not live in canada. Right here I get a weak 4g signal unlike my wife's g930f. I would like to try and flash g935f modem over my g935w8. Do you think it's possible ? Is there a risk that I loose my IMEI ? Can I try ?
Please advise me. Thank you in advance

I wouldn't do it if I were you mate. Criss crossing custom roms is fine as they are compatible with each other but flashing one variant of modem over another is a big NO NO and could potentially brick your device.
