Region specific flashing? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just bought the N910U. Are there any lollipop roms that I can flash or am I stuck until something official is released?
Thank you!

The updates for the n910u seem to be taking forever! I'm subbing to this thread to see what options we've got.

Let me ask this way, can I flash a n910C rom on my N910u note 4?
Thank you.

No, you will brick your device if you do. You can only flash ROMs that are made for your specific model number.

Thanks bro.

I'm in the same boat mate. Got my Note 3 a few weeks ago and was surprised to find a different mdoel N9007. Don't care about the knox status and really want to get rid of all the carrier bloatware. I can see the HK version of stock Samsung rom but not sure if it is suitable for our devices.

if it's the same model then it should work. You should check against your PDA version when you type *#1234#, if it is N9007ZH download the HK version, if it is N9007DI download the Australian version.

well, that is my problem. the only available firmware for my model is the carrier's firmware. there are no stock firmwares for Australia for my model.

Firmware is available on Sammobile but yes they are all carrier bloated.
For those of you still wondering, as long as you are on the 4.4.2 bootloader/modem, you can flash any aosp Rom and have no issues with mobile data or lte. The model number on your phone will change in the "about phone" section, bu if you can live with that, then no issues at all. I've just tried the Lollipop alpha build, and that worked fine, along with a bunch of other 4.4.4 AOSP roms and all ran smoothly.

[Q] SM-N910C vs SM-N910H

Is there any difference between the models? Can I flash fw from 910C to 910H with out bricking anything?

Do keep in mind that the modem must remain 910H

Thanks guys. I suppose now I can be a little more adventurous. Is there any hardware difference?
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.

I wonder what will happen if I flash a 910c fw. Any chance of permanently bricking the device?

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

Is the modem included with the roms? Like, if go to the dev section I see a lot of 'C' roms. Will I be able to flash all these roms without affecting the modem of my 'H' variant? or is it included with the custom rom?

I've flashed WanamLite and SweetRom (N910C) and both worked fine without affecting my modem. Make sure you change the network to WCDMA/GSM insted of LTE/WCDMA/GSM.

Thanks, 2 more questions.
1) Is this going to be the case always? or are there roms that include the modem when flashing?
2) Is any of those two smoother than stock? If so, which one?
Thanks again

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.

search for the N9005-based custom rom. I doubt that stock rom will not work.

Can n910f rom be installed on n910g

Hello friends, I'm having Indian version of note 4, n910g. Upon visiting the Android development for this device, I find that most of roms are for n910f, i.e international version. Is there any chance to flash n910f rom on n910g?...

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)
and most of the roms in snapdragon section has n910g support
Thanks raveenf,... It's a relief... I've owned htc one, galaxy note 1, htc desire, and galaxy s4 over the last few years. I always owned international version of those phones, so never had any questions in my mind...
Yes you can ,just flash the ael ,Nadia or KT kernel after flashing the rom

Thanks for your assurance Bro,...
Was gonna say the same thing! Yeah, as long as you have a custom kernel that's for your variant. This is why I'm waiting impatiently for a lollipop kernel! Haha. So I can flash a lollipop rom. I have a G variant so, I'm out of luck at the moment.
