I am currently using the galaxy s5 neo and when I look for stuff about my specific device model I can only find SM-G903F (USA) or SM-G903M (EUROPE), when mine is SM-G903W (CANADA). When I rooted my device using chainfire I used the root method for the USA version and it worked fine. So why first question would be, when looking for roms, mods, etc.. is it okay for me to always use the USA versions? Are the devices so similar that it doesn't matter? Or does it matter app to app?
Second, what is a safe way to install exposed on my device? I tried flashing ithe but soft bricked my device so I think I'm doing something wrong? Anyone have a detailed explanation?
Thank you in advance for any help:good:

I have the Same issue/Question. I have a SM-G903W which I've managed to root and install twrp on, and it's running 6.0.1. I'm looking for some custom roms so I can finally get off stock, but I am seeing very little discussion around the SM-G903W variant.
Does anyone know if the US versions of the roms will work?

Hi, I'm new to flashing ROM's and really don't want to damage this phone.
It's a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT i9500. Is this specific enough? I've heard there are international and non-international versions.
I found this ROM which got good reviews here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/?nocache=1&z=1058009516407261#romList
but I'm not 100% sure it's compatible.
Could someone tell me how I can be 100% sure?
Secondly, some basic instructions on how to restore the phone using Linux (Kubuntu 13.10 to be specific) would be great. This can be done through the USB port on both devices, right?
Thanks
You need to try custom roms by yourself and only you can know which rom suites you. ?

Hey guys!
I am in a fix here. I have finally decided to go for Galaxy S5 but I am unable to choose between the two available SD devices i.e. SM- G900F (European) & SM-G900S (Korean). I see most of the developments happening in 900F at the moment but i am getting a better deal on 900S.
I don't want to end up buying a device where I am unable to flash custom ROMs as I am kinda used to be updated now Thanks to XDA for that!! Someone claims to have already made an enabler for korean versions which would allow us to install any SD ROM on the korean version just by flashing a zip.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789848 .So please suggest which one should I go for as i need to book the device ASAP.
F is the obvious choice is development is what you care about. I doubt there will be much here for the S but if that zip works then maybe it's not an issue. Personally though I think the F is a no brainer

Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.
I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.
I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .
But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?
If possible, could you post links thanks.
hello sorry if its been asked, but is it possible to cross flash S6 edge+? I have the canadian G928W8, and would love to change it to the unbranded international version. If anyone know a trick it would be great. thanks Pigbait.

Hello. Why do u wanna change it sir?
I've got a bunch of carrier loaded bloate, and I don't want to do the crappy disabled app work around, also would be nice to get the OTA updates from Samsung and not need to wait 2years for my carrier to approve the update
Root your phone if you haven't yet. Go to this website. Find the correct firmware and version for your device. Download and flash it. You should be good to go then
Yeah. I have G928C but im using note 5 roms and kernel on it. Its up to your handiness.
