Flashing G900F ROMS on G900V? Please help I am confused - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay I've been looking in a few threads and I've been seeing that you can flash g900F custom roms and other variant custom ROMs on the g900v. Is this possible? I would like to know before I try to do this myself

G900F roms work as if it were for G900V. I have used many G900f roms and found no issue.

Okay what about G900A Roms?

you will need a patch

A patch for what? Is it just a patch for data to work then I dont need it, but if its a patch so the ROM will actually work can you point me to one

[Q] Flashing Stock Rom by SafeStrap

Hello
I have a problem with flashing new stock rom "G900FXXU1BNL9_G900FXEO1BNL1_XEO" by SafeStrap on my at&t s5. I downloaded rom from sammobile it is a zip file but when i try to install it by SafeStrap i have a error
"NO MD5 FILE FOUND".
After unpacked zip file with rom, there is one file "G900FXXU1BNL9_G900FXEO1BNL1_G900FXXU1BNL9_HOME.ta r.md5".
Someone know how can i flash this stock rom? or How can i convert this file to flashable by SafeStrap zip rom?
If it is bad forum section please move it, no remove.
Thags not safestrap flashable, and its also for the g900f, att is g900a wich has a locked bootloader, so even if you flashed it properly(through odin) it wouldnt work.

I know that it is for g900f but with safestrap make specialy for at&t s5 most of roms from g900f and another models should work normally in my g900a.
Any sugestion how can i do this ?

Pretty sure that is untrue, thats not how safestrap works.

Im sure that it will be work...devices is the same... only software is another and lock bootloader in at&t. I can flash any another flashable zip from this forum and problem is that i cant search zip version of this rom.
I have one suggestion haw can i do this...
I read somewhere that from recovery of system it is possible to do flashable zip. Maybe somebode have s5 without lock bootloader and can flash this rom via odin and make zip for me?
Or maybe another way?
Thanks

No one has an att variant without a locked bootloader, they are all locked. Where did you get these other flashable zips? If it was for the att s5 android development, those werw made to be flashed in safestrap, I think ankther variant's roms can be flashed but im not sure how it all works and its not the g900f. Either way, from the g900f or not, like i said earlier im pretty sure you have to flash in odin, safestrap cant flash firmwares, and even if it could, this firmware is for the g900f like ive also said(its the lolipop firmware, no?) and so you cannot flash it because the locked bootloader prevents it.

I flash via SafeSrap rom called "Omega" from this forum and rom CyanogenMod 11...it was working normally and they are for g900f and works fine in my g900a.
Yes this is lolipop...via odin i cant flash because i have locked bootloader...only via SafeStrap and flashable zips.

I dont understand how thats possible, everyone thats tried that has just gottena soft brick, and for a reason, locked bootloader limits us to touchwiz based roms, and CM11 is AOSP based, so theres no way it would work, are you aure youre using an att variant?

Im thinking you did something that made you think you flashed it and it worked, because it is not possible for it to work, theres no "i dont know how it worked" it literally cant. As has been said in the other thread you started, you can flash stock roms from other variants as long as its tohchwiz based and is 4.4.2, you cant flash lolipop because that is 5.0, and you cant do firmware updates through safestrap. So the answer to your question is no, you cannot get lollipop on your device as of now.

Ok i undestand...im sure that i have had CM11(4.4.2)...
Maybe you know where can i find stock rom from g900f with 4.4.2 android..

Because no exploit is avaliable if you are at our above 4.4.4
No you can't downgrade below 4.4.4
No there's nothing else you can do to get root.
