Do the ROMs support different device with same HW? - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I currently use Tab4 7.0 LTE (SM-T235), bought from Germany having 1.4 Ghz CPU.
I noticed that the Tab4 8.0 LTE (SM-T335) has the exact same hardware configurations as the SM-T235 except for the display size. Is it possible that the stock samsung ROM for SM-T335 will be supported by the SM-T235 as the hardware config are same? I tried to study a bit about kernels, but haven't found anything on how to know if a kernel supports a particular device. The SM-T335 has 5.1.1. official rom but the SM-T235 hasn't. If there is any possibility to port the SM-T335 stock ROM to SM-T235 device, it'd be very helpful.
Thanks in advance

No. Roms for the SM-T335 will not work on the SM-T235. If you want lollipop on your tablet, I believe this cyanogenmod 12.1 rom is your only option

Hey good timing, Samsung just released a 5.1.1 update for the SM-T235, firmware file linked to here. The region code is NEE (Baltic Countries) so if you're from a different part of the world and still want to try it, just do a factory reset first before flashing in Odin

sm-G900F vs sm-G900FQ

Hi Guys,
I am "desperately" looking for some info/support regarding my galaxy S5.
I own a phone model SM-G900FQ which is a variant of the european SM-G900F but sold on the Turkish market.
I did some research, and I don't see any major difference between the F and FQ versions.
I am not Turkish, I don't speak Turkish and I don't live in Turkey. I would really love to flash my cellphone with a custom ROM but I am really unsure of what roms would be supported for this device.
Could someone help me identify what kind of ROM versions are compatible? I check the unified development area, but I can't tell if this phone is a kletmo or klte or something else.
I would love to install CM12 on this cell phone
i am not %100 sure, but i know that they are both exactly the same phones. g900fq and g900f have got same specification. They both have got 2 gb ram, snapdragon 801AC and adreno 330. their name are different only and it's just for marketting in my opinion

Yes, they seem to be exactly identical so I was hoping that I could use ROMs designed for the g900f on this phone.
It really feels like I am one of the only owners of this model on earth. So difficult to find information or guidance ^^
Just wanted to come and update this topic.
I flashed successfuly my galaxy S5 with the cyanogenmod rom compatible with the SM-G900F.
It is no longer regognized as SM-G900FQ
Just in case someone in my situation is wondering

Its not that simple. there is more changing to do and you rarely see people port stock roms from one device to another. Samsung doesnt make porting tw easy. You are lucky there is a custom mm rom.

Roms for SM-G935K The Korean S7 edge

Hi all I couldn't find a thread or section which will help me or guide me to install some of the beautiful roms here for my device, can you please help me out and let me know where can I find the roms matching my device.
I really appreciate your quick reply,
thanks

Your device = the Exynos 8890 variant. I don't see why the many ROMs available here on XDA wouldn't work?! I have the Exynos W8 variant (Canada). That specific S7 edge variant is not included in many of these ROMs compatibility list, but it works anyway.

Well, thanks for your reply, in fact I didnt try any rom yet, because whenever I read the model supported in every rom thread, I couldnt find mine or the model I mentioned in the subject.
since you have the Exynos 8890 which is similar to mine so I think you are right...Which rom you tried and it works ...?
many thanks again.

SM-G935K is exynos variant model, you can flash custom roms for exynos model.
I have same model SM-G935K and flash custom rom for exynos model.
but if you want flash custom rom, you need flash custom recovery and void warranty.

well, where it mentioned that in (the rom thread) it is compatible with exynos variant model? The only thing I found in the subject is the model numbers of the devices..
Yes I knew about the custom recovery and the warranty issue, thanks again.

Difference between SM-G361H and SM-G361F

Can someone tell me the difference between Samsung G361H and G361F.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F and I wonder if I can install a costom rom made for SM-G361H.
If not I'd like to know why.
Thank You!

The difference between the two phone models (in my knowledge) is that they are two different models of the same 'branch' of phones.

I'm afraid that's not possible. You should NEVER EVER install firmwares designed for a different phone. It could lead to a simple soft brick or a hardware misconfiguration that could render the phone broken at a hardware level.
If not I'd like to know why.

They are two different models of the same branch of phone, so no.
Unfortunately, the Core Prime SM-G361F is one of those phones that a) nobody particularly wants to write ROMs or recoverys (with a few exceptions) for because it's so hard and b) most people have the much better and somewhat easier to write roms for, SM-G360H
Usually in Samsung devices the model number followed by a H is the 3G model and the one followed by a F is the 4G LTE model
so the main difference is that so SM-G361H is the 3G model and SM-G361F is LTE version of the same device. But yet they carry different chipsets.
So if you try to flash 361h roms to 361f or the other way you'll get a flash failure or a bricked device.
Can i upgrade my coreprime
SM-G361H to marshmellow 6.1
I have the exact problem thx @MelonChickens
