Hi
So I am about to purchase an S5 for my prepaid verizon account. I am trying to figure out if there are any disadvantages to using the Factory unlocked version G900V vs the Verizon branded version. I cant find any info on differences, but am I missing anything that is obvious?
Brand new Verizon - $309
Brand New Unlocked- $269
I would just assume save 40 bucks unless there is something different.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Check the models of the S5s, Verizon lock their bootloaders
(International G900F for example is unlocked)
The unlocked model says
Samsung Galaxy S5 G900V 16GB Unlocked GSM
The other is the verizon branded

I moved from Chile to the USA, and I couldn't SIM unlock my Galaxy S4 that I bought in Chile (GT-I9505), so I went to T-Mobile and bought a S4 there.
Is there any difference between them, other than broadband?
Like, if I'm running CyanogenMod on my 9505, can I just do a backup and restore it on the T-Mobile phone?
Thanks in advance.
The SM-G900F should be the unlocked international Snapdragon variant of the S5 lineup. Correct me if I am wrong. I plan to buy this version and I want to know if this has an unlockable bootloader. It might be a deal breaker if it doesn't
Mine's unlocked
Yes, mine's unlocked too.
Title explains it all. I just got my Cricket S5 unlocked to use on all carriers, so with that being sad, can I use AT&T or the firmware that comes with a unlocked S5 on my unlocked Cricket S5? It's rooted btw.
I don't know either of those S5s, but to use a different model S5 ROM on your phone, it would have to have identical hardware
any other replies please?
You could flash an att s5 rom yes, not firmware though.
