Use different country's firmware - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am looking to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S5 to Marshmallow manually ( I got through an operator in Costa Rica and they are not close to release it).
My phone's model is SM-G900F:
AP: G900FXXU1BOJ1
CP: G900FXXU1BOJ1
CSC: G900FCRC1BOJ1
I found official firmwares on Sammobile for my model but not match my country, so, I am not sure if by installing any of those I will break my phone. I am pretty new on this matter.
Can anyone clarify this? Can I move forward and install it without any issues?
Regards,
alon063

Its doest matter... as long u flash the correct model for ur device.. if u came from kitkat or lollipop and want to upgrade to marshmallow u need to flash bootloader n modem for marshmallow first before flash the firmware...
If firmware from sammobile its already included with bootloader n modem (as i know its was included)..
My original csc is XME... now im using BTU and moded rom (xXx rom)
Send from SM G900F xXx 5.1 Odex Boeffla 2.1 beta3 Twrp 3.0.2-0

Hey guys..
So I was trying to install a Korean Note 3 4.2.2 firmware (SM-N900S) on my Australian Note 3 (SM-N9005) using ODIN but was a failure.. It wouldn't proceed, saying "failed" so I gave up and instead of that I've installed UK Note 3 4.2.2 (SM-N9005)..
But I still want to install Korean firmware on my phone!!
So does anyone have any idea why this was a failure??
Is it because the model name is different?? (Will changing the model name by rooting help?)
From my past experience, I was able to install international firmware even without changing the model name..
About my device:
AP: N9005XXUEND3
CP: N9005XXUENC2
CSC: N9005OXAEND1
If you need any information about my phone (version etc.) Please ask!!
So I'm currently on UK BTU 4.2.2 (SM-N9005) and trying to install Korean SKT 4.2.2 (SM-N900S).
*This isn't a custom rom!!
Please help..
Thanks!!

The boot sequence in modern phones is secure/restricted (and Odin also tries to enforce it even before the boot - to stop you from writing bad stuff).
Basically the bootloader is different (something that you can also see even on the same N9005 model when going from 4.3 to 4.4 - 4.4 does not work with old 4.3 bootloader and currently there is a restriction which stops you from downgrading the bootloader).

But I'm not trying to downgrade.. Will it still not work..?
Also then, is there any other way to break this restriction?

No, you can't flash Korean rom on your N89005...

Question about flashing Lollipop update via Odin.

I have a question guys. My Note 3 baseband version is N9005XXUGNG1 and I still don't have the lollipop update so I want to flash it via Odin. Is there a way to find which flashable version from SamMobile is for my phone, and if it is available?
And I have one more question. If I flash another baseband version firmware, what is going to happen?

Visit the below website and select your country/carrier. You will see if 5.0 is available for your country
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/
Having said that, it doesn't matter which baseband you go (as long as its for n9005 and not hongkong version as its a 16gb version there), as long as your are not rooted.

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.

Yes but I'm unable to find a firmware for my specific device CSC (the one i mentioned above)
I see all other Galaxy S5's from Europe got updated to 6.0.1 but my (TGY Region) one still can't...
Can i flash an S5 firmware that doesnt corespond to my model? If i install the SM-G900FXX.... will it brick my phone?
As long as it's for the G900F you won't brick it
i actually worked !
just had to wipe data factory reset afterwards !
