Do the ROMs support different device with same HW?

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

Sorry, I've already read the provided article and read the comments. Not helpful and all the comments are negative, don't want to take risks based on so many negative comments. Thanks

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

Can I add more languages to J320A (Galaxy Express Prime)

Is there any way to add Turkish language to the interface? Thank you.

Thanks I don't mind rooting, but I can't seem to find anyway to root it, is there any instructions you can share?
There are few instructions but nothing specific for J320A, and without any 3rd party roms, rooting enough would not be enough to add more languages, right?

Noob Question: Is SM-T280Q same with SM-T280

Hello,
I'm planning to buy Samsung Galaxy Tab a 2016 WiFi , but I've a question.
The code on the online stores are SM-T280Q on my region. Is it same as SM-T280 ? I couldn't find any information regarding this neither on this forum nor googling.
I'd appreciate if anyone could approve this.
Thanks in advance,

I would say so considering they both use the same kernel source.

Root for Galaxy A8 SM-A8000

After I successfully revived my A8 with the help of this forum, I am now looking for
a working root method for my SM-A8000.
This is the chinese/Hong Kong-Version of the A8, I don't really wanna mess around
with a solution originally created for the other A8 versions (A800F/A800i,etc.).
Any help is appreciated

Iv been looking for weeks?

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.

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
