Hello everyone today i bought a brand new samsung galaxy s5 model number G900F, i wanted to install custom recovery but when i put the phone into the download mode i found it in the korean language and it says the model number is G900L i got confused. So my question is it ok to install the g900f stuff to it ? or do i need a g900l stuff for it ?
Phone is G900L if that's what it says in download mode, only install G900L ROMs to it
Thats weird , everything else says its g900f even the box it self and all the benchmarking tools etc. How is that possible?

Because stickers, boxes etc can be changed, and model number in the ROM can be faked, but download mode can not be changed, which is why you always check download mode if you are not sure
G900F is the most popular model S5, we see many people with your exact problem here where people have faked the phone to show as G900F to sell more of them / easier / quicker
Nothing on the phone is G900F, not even the ROM, just the info has been faked, you need to flash G900L
Wow but the box was sealed and the retailer opened it in front of me how can that happen?

Ask the retailer
Is the G900L supported like the g900f ? Is it common and easy to find roms , kernals , etc like the g900f? Should i return it to the retailer? Sorry im asking alot of questions

You'll find all your answers by reading the ROM, Kernel etc threads for supported devices
If you paid for a G900F, I would return it and demand a G900F
True I'll search more before deciding returning to the retailer. Thank you so much *Detection* for your help i really appreciate.

I have a galaxy s5 g900m, I want to know if is possible to use custom rom galaxy s5 g900f, both have the same hardware, well that's what i found on the internet, the international G900F is LTE and LTE-G900M is A, but may also use custom rom on galaxy s4 almost i9505 and model i337m

I think: The customs ROMs (firmwares) without bootloader is possible. But if you use ODIN, and try to flash a Stock ROM G900F at G900M the result is FAIL...
Is this correct?? Anyone?
Thanks.

That exact same thought, if I use a stock rom on my g900m g900f using odin, I will obtain what is error (fail) but in case of a custom rom? and read the G900i and g900t are using and what algunso report minor errors or lag (I think I could make do with a wipe) but for g900m what anyone said anything, but I assume that it may ... and not about the kernel? and the modem? if the modem could understand because they use the same hardware .... any answers?
I just flashed shohat rom v3 and ael kernel v1 on my g900m. So seems to be fine. ymmv though.

You reckon it will apply to all Snapdragon LTE models of the GS5?
In Australia it appears that they only have the SM-G900i model, so I am wondering if it is worth the hassle to specifically get the F model.

You should be fine. Only thing is if your carrier locks boot loader. I've seen ROMs that say they are for the I variant, but if it's Snapdragon it should be fine.

Did you successfully flash another country's firmware? As I'm not using Kies, I'm not even sure which country it comes from! I'm a little worried about baseband being different in different countries.
Came across this, which suggests it might not work in the first place: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53721117&postcount=5
I flashed with odin a firmware for g900h from south africa that looked to me it had kinda same csc letters. Worked fine and now i have latest software for my phone. Kies recognise it also. All ok. No problem with modem or basebands or anything. My phone is carrier free so unlocked.

My S5 is also THR, so I looked-up sammobile for firmwares with PDA:NCI, PHONE: NCI and CSC: NCH.
Found Irak and Egypt to match those and both have the NE2 update available. Not sure I'll proceed with this considering some users reported bricked device and had to find the appropriate firmware. What if there are none for this country?
I wonder where to get the original thr firmware also. I flashed as i mentioned and all working great

So you flashed your THR model with the Egypt firmware and all ok? Good, I'll proceed with that as well.
South america i think. I found one that matched my csc letters, allmost. Check for the one for you.

Flashed MID country, but no unlock setting for s-view case. Not sure I had this option before though? Don't have the s-view case either, maybe that option shows up when the case is there?
that wasn't the case on my GS4, maybe someone can confirm??
same THR csc ... installed russia didn`t work ... it worked with IUS (Mexico) is it fake ?
can't be if it worked with the original samsung firmware....i managed to flash 3 or 4 different firmwares, seems some work better then others. i flashed the June update NE2, works better.

Too late but maybe this is a help for other persons, You can flash: THR, ACR,MID,XSG,PAK,EGY,XFA,AFG,TMC,TUN ; All this firmwares are the same. Install "Phone Info app" to see the codes that you can flash. For Lollipop I have flashed Panama (TPA) and works ok.
I visited the sammobile firmware website and searched for the stock firmware and didn't find my n910c exynos I bought it from the UAE but I see most of the other countries has the same baseband version N910CXXU1ANJ4 is it possible for me to download any one with the same baseband version? , Any body know what to do ,Thanks!
My friend - you've posted your question in the DEVELOPMENT forum.
There are several reasons why this is undesirable. I will report your thread to a Mod to have it moved to the Question forum - here on XDA people really appreciate other people stick to the rules.
As for your query, I suggest you persevere and find exact same C version or flash the custom ROM for C found in this development section.

Hello friends
I am thinking about getting a new s5 and just wondering which model is best ? Please share your opinions.
Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk
G900F definitely
+1 for G900F
Bootloader unlocked
Yeah i'm also suggesting KLTE.
+1, G900F/KLTE is the best known for modding now as other version lack a little bit for support. At least G900F has more devolopment but not as much as S2 or S3 for example
G900F is a winner for sure

Becoz performance & big choice

G900f, unless you want way less support but a way better processor then I'd go with the exynos model which I forgot the name of G900h maybe?

Hi, as I know if the cell phone firmware changes, it will probably brick. But recently I bought S5 version from a local guy which having firmware of g900f.
Q. It is possible ? Should I move to g900f threads ?
I m uploading screenshots, if someone understand n tell me I will be very pleased.

there are 2 possibilities about flashing g900f firmware on your g900v:
1) it will refuse to flash
2) you will hardbrick
as I said earlier, please flash this to check whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked.

The G900F has an unlocked bootloader - the G900V does not. If it does flash, you can root if you want. If it doesn't flash - all your stuff will still be there.
By the way - there is no such thing as too many questions

Now I understand the situation.
I would NOT attempt to unlock the bootloader, just use FlashFire, unless you want AOSP. Try flashing a G900F rom on yours. I don't see why it would not work
