Flashing a SM-G900i with SM-G900f firmware - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys...
Currently have a vanilla SM-G900i S5 here in OZ and to this date the only Lollipop release is for Taiwan.
I have tried this release but found it has several issues with Microsoft Exchange accounts..
Anyway, i would like to know if it is possible to use a SM-G900f firmware whilst retaining my LTE bands.
My understanding is that both the 900i and 900f have identical hardware but use different LTE bands.
Thank you.

Not possible via odin.
Only custom roms via custom recovery. Modem and bootloader must be from taiwan rom. Good to start from Taiwan rom as a base to further mods.
Kernel - stock (Taiwan)/KTonnsez/Omega.
But only with knox 0x1.

no you can't
firmwares differ from country to country.
radio and modem firmware is different.
BTW if you are rooted delete/uninstall all the bloatware from your device simple.

How to flash stock EE ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F?

Hi all,
I currently own a sim free Samsung galaxy S5 Device model: SM-G900F. I'm on contract with EE in the UK and they're currently offering WIFI calling, but only on their EE devices. Does anyone know if I can flash the stock EE ROM on my S5 SM-G900F? and if so how I'd go about finding it?
Thank's in advance.
So I basically need to convert my SM-G900F into an SM-G900T. Is this possible?
I found this EE firmware. Should I be pretty safe flashing it? It has the same model number as mine but it's an EE firmware so I'll be able to get my WIFI calling. http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/Galaxy+S5/United+Kingdom/
Yes, it's safe flashing it with that firmware.
Thank you.
The rom your link goes to is a 4.4.2 2014 rom go to sammobile.com and search for the latest EE rom for the G900F you can't convert an F to a T version either latest EE rom should be PDA G900FXXU1POD1 CSC G900FEVR1POD1 after flashing the rom you will need to do a factory reset on the phone

Flashing Other Region /Csc Frimware is possible?

My phone is Galaxy A5(SM-500F)
PDA/Baseband:A500FXXU1AOC1
Region/CSC: KSA
android version :4.4.4
*can i flash leatest (5.0.2)firmware with other csc for this model??
and How to flash this?
You shouldnt have a problem, i received my phone with NEE CSC (nordic countries) and flashed the Cyprus one as it had newer build date.
Ps, when flashing with odin, and changing region, tick the Update Bootloader option.
Also, Branded or Carrier Roms (Vodafone, Tmo, etc) wont flash on Unbranded phones as they have different partition tables.
Remember to flash only roms for your variant strictly (SM-A500F)
Edit: Latest rom is Here, instructions how to flash are on the download page of the rom you choose.

Does flashing original samsung firmwares trigger knox counter? Like if i have a stock phone with KK 4.4 and flash the LL 5.0.2
will the knox counter get triggered ?
No worries, it wont. Odin is a samsung leaked tool, and the roms are samsung made packages, it is pretty much what Kies/Smart Switch do when they handle the phones.

ok, you should be able to flash any G900F tar.md5 file from any country on it. You have the international verison of that phone and it has TONS of tar.md5's for it that will all work just fine. only signal difference you will notice is in the different radios that are in the different tarballs, other than that, they should all work the same
