I own an International Samsung S5 (Exynos Variant) So i was wondering if i could install the S5 Neo firmware on my phone as it is on Lollipop 5.1.1 and is far better performing than my sluggish lollipop 5.0
I am not a newbie to this just don't know what will happen if i flash different firmware. I am currently rooted and running a custom rom.

Greetings,
I've moved your question to your device's Q&A forum so you can get your question answered by the experts.
Most likely though, no, you shouldn't flash anything on your device that isn't specifically made for your device.
Good luck!
Thanks for replying! Its just that if somebody can tell me what are the main components of a rom like kernel, libraries,etc so that i can create a new rom or maybe just port some features of S6 but i need the help with framework.
Most definitely DO NOT flash firmware from another phone variant other than those designed for you model. You will encounter problems or brick your phone.

Hi everybody,
I need help with my rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 Value Edition (gt-i9515, running 4.4.2). I'd like to update it to lollipop and I can't find any specific tutorial for the i9515, which for some reasons seems to be different from the basic i9505 version. I'm running the official rom, since there isn't any support for custom roms on the i9515.
Somebody help me please
Official Update
Hello, no need to do anything guys,

Thank you for your answer, but I had already tried the official way before posting and it didn't work because the phone is rooted

Download the ROM from sammobile and flash it with Odin. You will need to re root and please bear in mind that xposed currently does not work on Samsung Lolipop ROMs

Thank you very much, I'll try that!! :good:
I just realized that the GT-9515 is not even mentioned between the s4 models, hence there's no firmware available to download. How do I solve this now?
hello,
im not sure which thread to post this in.....
i have a S5 neo SM-G903W currently on 5.1.1 (and rooted)
would like to update it to marshmallow and then run a custom rom
as for roms, from lack of any knowledge i would just go for cm13, unless someone suggests something better/more stable/
i have tried searching, but havent found much info regarding this model.
i read that its possible to use SM-G903F (for root) in place of SM-G903W, but unsure if it will also work for MM software upgrade.
feel better to ask, then to jump blindly and hope.
thank you.
i might have gotten a firmware update today for marshmallow. i have one question for you when you rooted your phone which i want to did you use roms/ firmwares for SM-G903W or SM-G903F because the latter is what i see most but have no idea what the difference is
as i understand the "W" is a canadian version, and the "F" is international.
and i used this link in odin.
No one with a suggestion on how to?
i have samsung s5 (sm-g900i) i'm not sure about the firmware right now, is all the sm-g900i firmware can be installed like telesta, vodapone and xsa i can use on my phone?

A bit late responding, but you can use any of the branded firmwares, as well as other custom roms on your phone. I would suggest you go for a custom rom like CrDroid, no bloatware and it is much nicer than the factory rom.
Have a read through the S5 threads and you will see that it a fairly straight forward process installing a new rom.
The G900i is the Australian version, and the model is referred to as kltedv, so check our roms for that version.

If you flash Roms for other devices you will brick your phone and won't be able to use it. I'm afraid your just out of luck

Use nick verse's cm13. I used j500F version.
It's a late comment tho.
Hi. I'm pretty sure you can not install custom ROM in other models on your legendary j500n0. I bought j500h about 4 years ago and I had tested many roms at other models with different custom recovery (in some unofficial custom recovery u can install other models but screen freezing have happening) so lets make an custom.
And l ever never heared before models like that...really what's that? Samsung made this one just for our headache. Realllly why Samsung made 1000 type of one model?:crying:
I know this question has been asked already but I was wondering if anybody can tell me if the TWRP and other variant firmware are compatible with this device.
Some background, I received this phone as an exchange for an S3 mini that I took into a repair shop, as the mechanic had lost all the working parts of my original phone.
I have updated all the apps and it appears to be working well, it's just that I would like to update the firmware to something newer, such as the 5.1.1 from the g361f or at least the 5.0.2 from the g360h.
Perhaps one of the guys in the forum are a samsung expert and could explain to me what the differences are between the variants and why flashing firmware from another version may or may not work.
P.S. I am familiar with Odin and have flashed many other Samsung phones with both stock and custom firmware.
Thanks in advance.
