[Q] I have S5 G900M can i use G900F roms?

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.

[Guide][Make all roms work on XT1033]

Finally worked out!
Big thanks to @antarix for the method and @LeslieKawiti For pointing out ,so here's the full method.
So here's the full Guide
One sim will be fully functional
Well i did flash this over Retail GB but i dont think so thats required as it has no effect
1.Flash GPE from this method only!(specially the gpe image)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726041
Boot into gpe once
2.Flash any recovery via Moto Tool or via command-line.
3.Do a full wipe(not userdata obviously!)
3.Install the rom.
Boot and Voila!

I guess that everyone figured that out long time ago
but after flashing retail gb and then custom roms would still give network errors(can recieve calls,hangup issues) and encryption errors on official gpe
These images are semi-official which actually modify the partition and give more space -thus really converting to gpe
None could get even one sim working properly but now we can!

excellent.It is same with my problem,but now solved.Thanks.

Is it possible to keep F2FS file system when converting a xt1033 for single sim stock roms like tweaky one? Ext4 is not as good as f2fs according to tests. Thank you.

Well that guide is to convert gpe, it does not significantly tell that all roms will support XT1033 after flashing ,if u just add that this will make all roms support XT1033, I'll be glad if u add that in ur guide
Now I know that your answer will be that it is obvious that after converting it should work on all roms but that didn't happen with retail GB or other gpe firmware, THAT'S WHY!

I read on few custom ROM threads that people complain on XT1033 related problems, that don't exist on single sim versions. Does this (or some other) hack make 1033 behave exactly as 1032, or those 1033 related issues are still present after the hack?
*I don't intend to ever use both sims, but local retailers only sell dual sim version.

What is rom's are compatible with Canadian SM-G900W8 S5's?

I've been looking around but can't seem to find a straight answer. Does anybody know what american (or international ) rom's we can use? For example, Cyanogenmod has multiple klte's.
The Canadian phone use gsm networks. Would it use tmobile's roms or at&t's ?
Thanks in advance

I asked the same question and was told that we can only use specific W8 Roms up here. Unless its unified and AOSP. There's a moron named 'thatsupnow' running around here saying flash anything, but don't listen to him. While I can't confirm with absolute certainty, I do believe were stuck with Roms from Canadian telecoms., as far as stock goes anyway. COLOR="Silver"]

Does this mean I can flash the F lollipop stock ROM and then flash my modem afterwards? Or will I need to wait for L modems for the W8? Sorry guys, I used to be well in the loop in S3 forums. Then I went Nexus for a while. Now I need to do some re learning.

Can n910f rom be installed on n910g

Hello friends, I'm having Indian version of note 4, n910g. Upon visiting the Android development for this device, I find that most of roms are for n910f, i.e international version. Is there any chance to flash n910f rom on n910g?...

you can flash a rom which is available for n910f on your n910g as long as you have a kernal that supports that rom (for example AEL, Nadia)
and most of the roms in snapdragon section has n910g support

Thanks raveenf,... It's a relief... I've owned htc one, galaxy note 1, htc desire, and galaxy s4 over the last few years. I always owned international version of those phones, so never had any questions in my mind...

Yes you can ,just flash the ael ,Nadia or KT kernel after flashing the rom

Was gonna say the same thing! Yeah, as long as you have a custom kernel that's for your variant. This is why I'm waiting impatiently for a lollipop kernel! Haha. So I can flash a lollipop rom. I have a G variant so, I'm out of luck at the moment.

Hey buddy, wanted to thank u for the rom suggestion. This rom is flying on my phone! I just wish I could get the google assistant from the pixel phones working. The google now on tap won't work, I believe this is why the assistant is failing. Long press on home does nothing. I been trying to find a fix with no luck.
