G900 which version

as above
looking at getting a Samsung Galaxy S5 and have noticed that they are not the same models. ie. G900I, G900F etc. could anyone explain the difference please. i am in Australia by the way. thanks

Basically the region and/or the cell provider. There's a list somewhere on XDA that goes over each model.

I believe all the ones that aren't CDMA?

From GSMArena:
Samsung Galaxy S5
Available as:
Samsung SM-G900F - for Europe
Samsung SM-G900I - for Asia
Samsung SM-G900K/G900L/G900S - for Korea
Samsung SM-G900M - for Vodafone
Samsung SM-G900A - for AT&T
Samsung SM-G900T - for T-Mobile
Samsung SM-G900V - for Verizon
Samsung SM-G900R4 - for US Cellular
Samsung SM-G900P - for Sprint
As for which one for Australia, I have no idea. I believe that for other devices Australia uses the EU model, so it's likely that one. But I can't guarantee it.

I'm from Malaysia but here have f version only and in Indonesia only version h

The official australian version is G900I since G900F doesn't support some of the LTE frequencies (700Mhz and 2300Mhz).

Hi
I have a follow question , but till now i did not found the ansfer for.
I have G900W8 but shortly will migrate to Europe, and would like to use my own language, that is currently not supported by W8 firmware.
Is it safe to use G900F firmware and flash it to G900W8 model ? or i will kill it

Change model number
May I know how can I flash SM-900F firmware on an SM0900I Galaxy S5 as the Australian SM-900I firmware has some limitations?

Search for 'Odin' in the forums and download the firmware from www.sammobile.com.

People really shouldn't flash firmwares that are not meant for your phone. While they might be 99% identical, there are some differences like the 3g/4g bands that the device supports.

I bought the G900F in Hong Kong and works perfectly well in Australia on Vodafone 4G. I also flashed the UK BTU firmware over the stock ZHU firmware and simply brilliant.
I think you limit yourselves buying the G900I version as the G900F has far more options for flashing stock firmwares, and works perfectly well in Australia. The G900I version reminds me of the S4 Mini (i9195T version) which was Vodafone/Telstra only and never received the 4.3 update, or any others for that matter.... Better to get a phone that has world wide coverage, than one that's limited to Australia if you care about timely updates.
FYi, if you check www.samfirmware.com, you'll see that the listed G900I is only Australia and Taiwan... G900F is everything from Europe to Asia.

I have the G900H in south America.

I bought S5- SM-G900F from Dubai airport and wanted to know if it will work in India/US

thanks for info
am just wondering if compatability of different models and 4G coverage
Thanks

I have a SM-G900F phone in Australia for last 2 years., and have no problems whatsoever.

Samsung galaxy J510F purchased in Kuwait (UAE version) not supporting VoLTE in India

Hi guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 (6) [SM-J510F/DS] PLpurchased from Kuwait. It's an UAE version. I brought it for use in India on Reliance Jio 4g network. Unfortunately the device doesn't support VoLTE despite having the Qualcomm chipset which I guess is same aboard the Indian J5 (2016) models. Samsung UAE customer support informed my phone doesn't have VoLTE. Is there anyway I can make it work? Like installing an Indian firmware 'coz my phone is running stock Rom and firmware . I checked for any OTA updates and none was available. I am in a dilemma now coz I came back from a Lumia to Android and I am stuck with just 4g coz of some manufacturer policy. Please help guys.

Then flash Indian firmware for ur model

VoLTE is based on software according to me. So you can try your luck with an Indian firmware. However i can't guarantee if it will work that way if there is a difference between your phone chipset and standard phone chipset.

There is no Indian ROM

Samsung Galaxy A5 SM-A520F/DS questions

HI i just bought galaxy a5 2017 duos model.
I expected it to have samsungpay, but it is not preinstalled and i can't seem to download it.
it has nfc chip so i am guessing it should support it.
perhaps it's because of the firmware's country stetting.
I found out that it has pakistan firmware installed.
does anyone have a5 2017 dual sim verion which has samsung pay enabled?
if so, would i be able to get samsung pay to work by flashing different country's firmware?
i checked smamobile and there was austrlaian version firmware available, which is perfect as i am in australia and bought the phone form grey import supplier.
does anyone know it is safe to flash SM-A520F firmware onto A520F ds version? i couldnt find ds spesific firmware on sammobile.
Thank you in advance

Hi neighbours, Indonesian here.
I'm using A5 2017 DS version as well and no Samsung pay installed also.
I guess it's only installed based on region which have Samsung pay services running on those selected country

Yeah it works fine flashing the Australian rom. I'm with Telstra so went with that one and Samsung pay is enabled. You also get VoLTE with Telstra.
My phone had the UAE firmware on it originally. Dual SIM function is still there too, not that I use that though.

Hi All, I just purchased the Samsung A20 205G and would like to know if there is a way to change the firmware to A205U (T-mobile). I have downloaded the A205U firmware and used Odin3.1.3 to upgrade the firmware but it kept on failing. The message I got is: Custom Bindary Blocked by OEM lock. I am not sure what is going on. Could someone please give me some information on how to upgrade the firmware?
Thanks,
DT
