Question about custom rom and IMEI - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! I´ll try to make it the shortest and simpliest.
My G900M´s IMEI has been unblocked via cert. My question is: Could a custom rom installation mess up with the imei, blocking the cellphone? Cause i heard it could change the imei...
And another question: What´s the difference between a G900F rom and mine? Could i just use one of them?
Thank you so very much in advance, and sorry for my english.

Need English OS

Hi,
I had bought o2's Mini XDA S recently in Germany. Due to the German OS, I am facing problem in using it properly and to understand.
Request, if any one can guide me how to convert this to English language and the consequences of changing it from the Products warranty point of view.

install lokiwiz software on your device and then run any rom you want
Hi,
Thanks for the reply..
I just happnd to see what lokiwiz is?
By the description i could understand it is some program which unlocks the sim..
I wanted to know, unlocking the sim would help in choosing language options from the currently loaded os?
or do I have to load English version of OS on top of this?
Sorry. I am not at all aware of these buzz words like "ROM" etc. and am completely new to this terminology..
Would request you to please explain in detail..
Thanks,
Harish.

If there is no Portugese ROm available, then you should make use of your warranty and send it back to your provider for service. That's how some could recover their device and don't better don't mention you tried to flash an unofficial ROM onto your device
I have a portuguese rom, just let me know how to extract it and i will sent it to you

No Network or Conmection After Flashing The Stock Rom on S8+

Hello guys,
I am sorry if i have opened the thread in the wrong place. I am having a serious problem with my S8+ and im starting feel like it became a trash anymore. So i bought this phone in France as i live here. I went to Turkey for my work for 6 months and i had to change the imei number in illegal way to use my phone there. They rooted my phone and somehow put a new imei into it in order to have connection. After i am back to France i tried to flash a stock rom and it was successful but i relized soon after that i have no network and whenever i try to get some it keeps giving me an error " Error while searching for network " . I check my imei number with *#06# and i have an imei number but it is different than my original imei number which is written in the box. Did i lose my Imei or what? I check EFS file, it is there. No one in France is able to fix it and since i have a crack on the screen , it voids the warranty , so no Samsung option , as well . I would deeply appreciate if someone could help me with this problem.
Thank you so much in advance.

Not gonna find much help on here mate. Not with the imei being changed. We're don't really discuss things like that in xda. But I can tell you. They didn't change the imei with root. It's cert based. Which means they totally rewrote it and new cert for the device.
