ok, you should be able to flash any G900F tar.md5 file from any country on it. You have the international verison of that phone and it has TONS of tar.md5's for it that will all work just fine. only signal difference you will notice is in the different radios that are in the different tarballs, other than that, they should all work the same

looking at getting a Samsung Galaxy S5 and have noticed that they are not the same models. ie. G900I, G900F etc. could anyone explain the difference please. i am in Australia by the way. thanks
Basically the region and/or the cell provider. There's a list somewhere on XDA that goes over each model.

I believe all the ones that aren't CDMA?
From GSMArena:
Samsung Galaxy S5
Available as:
Samsung SM-G900F - for Europe
Samsung SM-G900I - for Asia
Samsung SM-G900K/G900L/G900S - for Korea
Samsung SM-G900M - for Vodafone
Samsung SM-G900A - for AT&T
Samsung SM-G900T - for T-Mobile
Samsung SM-G900V - for Verizon
Samsung SM-G900R4 - for US Cellular
Samsung SM-G900P - for Sprint
As for which one for Australia, I have no idea. I believe that for other devices Australia uses the EU model, so it's likely that one. But I can't guarantee it.
I'm from Malaysia but here have f version only and in Indonesia only version h

The official australian version is G900I since G900F doesn't support some of the LTE frequencies (700Mhz and 2300Mhz).

I have G900W8 but shortly will migrate to Europe, and would like to use my own language, that is currently not supported by W8 firmware.
Is it safe to use G900F firmware and flash it to G900W8 model ? or i will kill it
Change model number

Search for 'Odin' in the forums and download the firmware from www.sammobile.com.

People really shouldn't flash firmwares that are not meant for your phone. While they might be 99% identical, there are some differences like the 3g/4g bands that the device supports.

I bought the G900F in Hong Kong and works perfectly well in Australia on Vodafone 4G. I also flashed the UK BTU firmware over the stock ZHU firmware and simply brilliant.
I think you limit yourselves buying the G900I version as the G900F has far more options for flashing stock firmwares, and works perfectly well in Australia. The G900I version reminds me of the S4 Mini (i9195T version) which was Vodafone/Telstra only and never received the 4.3 update, or any others for that matter.... Better to get a phone that has world wide coverage, than one that's limited to Australia if you care about timely updates.
FYi, if you check www.samfirmware.com, you'll see that the listed G900I is only Australia and Taiwan... G900F is everything from Europe to Asia.
I have the G900H in south America.
I bought S5- SM-G900F from Dubai airport and wanted to know if it will work in India/US
thanks for info
am just wondering if compatability of different models and 4G coverage
Thanks
I have a SM-G900F phone in Australia for last 2 years., and have no problems whatsoever.
I have an g900i s5 indian model which is completely unlocked. Is there any way i could flash rhe lollipop build of 900f. I think the only difference between 2 models is aome 4g frequencies, and 4g isnt available here anyways.
Will Appreaciate any help
Thanks.
No. Modem and bootloader from 900f won't work on a 900i.

volte for galaxy s5 G 900Fd
Guys can anyone help me to support volte in my galaxy s5 duos G 900Fd? Can I use this rom ?
I bought s8 (G950N-Exynos-singled sim) from south korea though i live in india. Here voLTE wasn't working before, then i flashed a custom rom hadesrom one ui by corsicanu. Now voLTE works almost fine.
But the network service of my device is very poor than indian s8 (i compared it with indian s8). I was wondering if i can flash the bootloader and modem of indian s8(G950FD) via odin .
But the problems are 1. my phone is singled sim, 2. there are no such indian s8 firmware of android 9 on sammobile.com.
What if i flash the bl and cp of G950F ?

voLTE is a carrier specific service. if it wasnt working on your previous ROM and is currently working on the new one, then the dev baked in the goodness of voLTE on your ROM where it was absent prior in the previous ROM.
Anyways, as far as what will happen if you flash the G950F firmware, it will boot and then the phone will think its a G950F. Thats it. Exynos processor S8's can accept the F firmware
