[Q] Installing different model bootloader - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a snapdragon 801 based galaxy s5(G900P) from Sprint. Can I install a different bootloader from another snapdragon 801 based galaxy s5? IE(G900T, G900F, G900M, etc). Will that brick my device? I asked on sprint's s5 forum but it seems nobody can answer.
Any help could be appreciated.
Regards

Installing a different 935F stock ROM on 935FD (Duos) to avoid dual sim?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if possible to install 935F ROMs from the locations that dont have Duos, on 935FD (Dous) to avoid seeing SIM 1 Icon in the messaging app etc.
Thanks in advance
Someone tested it and it worked but it was the normal S7 not the edge.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-s7-edge-dual-sim-g935fd-firmware-t3340902
But what I understand this wouldn't even change the dual-SIM capabilities so I would guess the symbols stay the same.
I wouldn't take the risk. Whats the Problem with having another symbol? Besides... you have a Exynos so just wait for Xposed and a hiding module or something
Wait for Xposed? It's already available

And u can change the icon to envelope from sim manager if its bithering u
some models same flash file but not different model name example I9060I and ı9060I duos same fw.
i think 935f and 935fd same hardware only sim count sim holder and model name different.

Where Do I Start?

Hi everyone,
I'm coming from HTC to Samsung and have had a look through the forums but can't find any definite threads/ answers before I proceed with custom Roms.
Can you help?
What do I need to do to root and flash a custom Rom?
Links would be appreciated :highfive:
Cheers for the support,
Kev
It is very simple first find out which Samsung you have s8 s8+ snapdragon exonos and finaly if s8 it will be g950xx the last part xx can be fd or f or sumit else you need know this as this it what you will use to get correct custom rom now lets just say you have s8 g950f exonos you first need unlock boot to do this go to build number in about phone tap 7 times you ar now a developer to come out a new setting menu apears developer settings tap that scroll to oem bootloader unlock enable now uneed follow thread to flash costom recovery i will post for you

Different model numbers at the back and in settings

Hi guys i was wanting to install z current android O on my galaxy s7 edge but it says sm G935F at the back and sm g935V in settings . Which one is the right model number? And is it because it is refurbished.
maybe they got back cover from international model and just put it in your 935v?

connect to pc and see what smart switch shows
Maybe,but the IMEI is the same both at the back and in about phone

ROM's for T537

I have a ATT GT 4 model SM-T537A.
Its running 4.4.2 (NE1) and I want to upgrade it to Lollipop or maybe marshmellow.
I can't seem to find any roms specifically for the T537 in the Galaxy Tab 4 forum section.
Are there any good ROMS for the T537?

This device specs and chipsets. Are not quite similar with other devices. So much work is required to publish a rom
