Thank you.

HI, really sorry if this is a noob question but would someone be able to answer this asap. I live in the UK and purchased an S5 off ebay it stated it was the SM-G900F (UK varient I believe) but upon delivery I checked and its the SM-G900S which is the Korean vairent.
So I put my sim in and it displays that im roaming which is obviously wrong. Can I just flash a UK rom and will everything work like uk varient or is the radio bands or anything else different. Please answer asap as I will need to contact ebay.
Also is this 4G version and will it work in UK?

Here are the specs http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5448&c=samsung_sm-g900s_galaxy_s5_lte-a_samsung_pacific and here http://www.droidgod.com/2014/05/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900s-full-specifications-features/. It looks quite similar for the G900F but check if the supportd LTE bands are compatible.

No, LTE bands are defined in the radio chip. You cannot change these bands by flash a different rom or modem.

Yes, as the cpu/gpu, screen and reoslution are similar i guess you could do that. Don`t know the supported LTE bands of the 900S though. Maybe its best to file a complaint to Ebay about the seller misleading you as you probably will not have warranty either.
Since they both are an Exynos variant, is it possible to flash 935F firmware to Korean variants, if possible? (Through Odin - SamFirm)

I see. I thought it would be possible also on Exynos variant, since carrier-branded SD820 S7/S7E can be converted into 930/935U through the same way.
Converting G935S to G935F
Apologize for asking again, I have been searching for a definite answer regarding converting from 935S to 935F (Same hardware). found some who claim it is possible (no explanation how) and some who say it's impossible.
Can anyone recommend what can be done? i.e a customized ROM?
I got the 935S as a leftover from a travel to Seoul and would like to use it elsewhere.. however it is always on roaming, cannot have conf calls and collects news in Korean, etc..
Please help TIA:angel:

I just went and asked the same thing, and deleted it, cause i have a Note8 and we can flash whatever carrier firmware we want, the phone is decided by the SIM card...BUT ever carrier has the SAME model number for once, every carrier is SM-N950U, an odd couple are SM-N950U1....

I know this thread is old but it is possible. I have korean model G935S which have ROM of G935FD, I am not sure how it was done, but it was done to convert it into dual sim model. So i am pretty sure F ROMs could also be flashed, but how? Its an question whose answer I dont have xD
here i what you need https://combinefile.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&c=download&id=25856
Any file for Oreo?
Hi!
Is there a combination file to convert with Oreo 8.0 version?
Converting g935s to g935fd
It is possible to convert g935s to g935fd. The phone am using is a korean version and it came with a g935fd rom but I can't get where it is uploaded
I have a N910S and I would like it to to have all of the AT&T bands. Is there a way I can flash the AT&T modem to my 910S or do I need to change out the Radio in order to Receive all of the American Bands on this Korean phone? Or do I just need to use a custom rom? Any light on this situation will be helpful.

Okay, so I've been gifted a Samsung Galaxy S8 from my mother who lives in Canada, and I will only use it in Europe, as I live here. She bought it blindly, without any knowledge about model numbers and stuff. The guy at the Samsung store told her he unlocked it, and he was right as I have no problem using my sim in it, despite being the Canadian model, coming with some Rogers carrier apps. Now my question is, can I flash a firmware from the country I live in, that being Romania? So flashing a SM-G950F firmware on a SM-G950W phone. I know it sounds silly but I want to be sure.
No you can't, you can only flash canadian/us firmware, but better to stick with canadian xac firmware since its unbranded.

Hey guys,
I am currently on Samsung S10+ in Canada, which has a single SIM and unlocked. As I need a dual SIM now, I am planning to sell it off and get an international model with dual sim.
My question is: Do I need to change the new phone's firmware to Canada to get OTA official updates? Can it be changed?
Thanks!
The answer is no. You cannot flash the Canadian firmware on the international version. For starters, the international version is Exynos chip. Also, Samsung Pay will not work in Canada with the international version.

Thanks so much for the reply! So what about updates? Will I still be able to get them without changing the Firmware (as you mentioned I can't anyways)? Yes, heard about Samsung Pay, but I don't use it much so that should be ok. But I wish we had an option for Dual SIMS here in Canada
Thanks again!
You will not be able to get Canadian OTA updates. You will have to download international firmware releases compatible with your device and flash them.

You will get updates normally but not same as the Canidian model. so if local s10 get update dosent me you will and same way other way. When ur model code has an update you will receive it ... so dont worry u can buy and you will get OTA normally ... or you can flash other FW on it but i dont know about snap and exn .. I always flash my Brazilian s10+ with eurpian verison and leave HOME CSC so SamsungPay still brazilian.
