Difference between SM-G361H and SM-G361F - Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers

Can someone tell me the difference between Samsung G361H and G361F.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F and I wonder if I can install a costom rom made for SM-G361H.
If not I'd like to know why.
Thank You!

The difference between the two phone models (in my knowledge) is that they are two different models of the same 'branch' of phones.

I'm afraid that's not possible. You should NEVER EVER install firmwares designed for a different phone. It could lead to a simple soft brick or a hardware misconfiguration that could render the phone broken at a hardware level.

They are two different models of the same branch of phone, so no.
Unfortunately, the Core Prime SM-G361F is one of those phones that a) nobody particularly wants to write ROMs or recoverys (with a few exceptions) for because it's so hard and b) most people have the much better and somewhat easier to write roms for, SM-G360H

Usually in Samsung devices the model number followed by a H is the 3G model and the one followed by a F is the 4G LTE model
so the main difference is that so SM-G361H is the 3G model and SM-G361F is LTE version of the same device. But yet they carry different chipsets.
So if you try to flash 361h roms to 361f or the other way you'll get a flash failure or a bricked device.

Can i upgrade my coreprime
SM-G361H to marshmellow 6.1

I have the exact problem thx @MelonChickens

the question is will flashing the kernel from a n9005 (same processor soc 800) on to my device screw up anything particularly the dual sim part or will it not be affected ?
and the biggest question .. will it brick my device or not ?????
if not then I am willing to go ahead and just try flashing a n9005 kernel on the device

sm-G900F vs sm-G900FQ

Hi Guys,
I am "desperately" looking for some info/support regarding my galaxy S5.
I own a phone model SM-G900FQ which is a variant of the european SM-G900F but sold on the Turkish market.
I did some research, and I don't see any major difference between the F and FQ versions.
I am not Turkish, I don't speak Turkish and I don't live in Turkey. I would really love to flash my cellphone with a custom ROM but I am really unsure of what roms would be supported for this device.
Could someone help me identify what kind of ROM versions are compatible? I check the unified development area, but I can't tell if this phone is a kletmo or klte or something else.
I would love to install CM12 on this cell phone
i am not %100 sure, but i know that they are both exactly the same phones. g900fq and g900f have got same specification. They both have got 2 gb ram, snapdragon 801AC and adreno 330. their name are different only and it's just for marketting in my opinion

Yes, they seem to be exactly identical so I was hoping that I could use ROMs designed for the g900f on this phone.
It really feels like I am one of the only owners of this model on earth. So difficult to find information or guidance ^^
Just wanted to come and update this topic.
I flashed successfuly my galaxy S5 with the cyanogenmod rom compatible with the SM-G900F.
It is no longer regognized as SM-G900FQ
Just in case someone in my situation is wondering

Do the ROMs support different device with same HW?

Hello!
I currently use Tab4 7.0 LTE (SM-T235), bought from Germany having 1.4 Ghz CPU.
I noticed that the Tab4 8.0 LTE (SM-T335) has the exact same hardware configurations as the SM-T235 except for the display size. Is it possible that the stock samsung ROM for SM-T335 will be supported by the SM-T235 as the hardware config are same? I tried to study a bit about kernels, but haven't found anything on how to know if a kernel supports a particular device. The SM-T335 has 5.1.1. official rom but the SM-T235 hasn't. If there is any possibility to port the SM-T335 stock ROM to SM-T235 device, it'd be very helpful.
Thanks in advance

No. Roms for the SM-T335 will not work on the SM-T235. If you want lollipop on your tablet, I believe this cyanogenmod 12.1 rom is your only option

Sorry, I've already read the provided article and read the comments. Not helpful and all the comments are negative, don't want to take risks based on so many negative comments. Thanks

Hey good timing, Samsung just released a 5.1.1 update for the SM-T235, firmware file linked to here. The region code is NEE (Baltic Countries) so if you're from a different part of the world and still want to try it, just do a factory reset first before flashing in Odin

Making ROMs for one Grand Prime version compatible with another version

I am considering purchasing a Galaxy Grand Prime and the most likely model that I would purchase would be the SM-G530p or SM-G530t. While doing my research on this platform before purchasing I cannot help but notice that the majority of development and ROM releases overwhelmingly support the SM-G530h or SM-G531h.
What exactly is required to get an "H" ROM working on a "T" or "P" model? I am not exactly a noob when it comes to building android ROMs (I am a dev on androidforums.com and very active on freaktab) so your reply doesn't have to be too dumbed down. I am just unfamiliar with this platform. I have a sprint galaxy s4 (SPH-L720), however it seems like the ROM support is better for the various S4 than the various Grand Primes and this hasn't been an issue so far with my s4.
Would it not be possible to take any Grand Prime ROM (ex: an S7 ROM based on 5.1.1 ported for G530H), replace the kernel and supporting files with the 5.1.1 kernel including root for the G530P, flash it to the device, and have a functional ROM?
In general when flashing a custom ROM we won't be flashing the modem or radio partitions, correct? So as long as the android userland version matches the android version that the kernel is built for, and that kernel supports the installed baseband/radio/modem then won't this result in a functioning ROM?
Please let me know if I am incorrect, and if so where is the flaw in my logic!
Cheers and Thanks!!!
thats what i want to know also we need to gather a team and work on the G530P
too many persons buying this phone and being unable to use it globally there must be a way to change the modem or baseband to enable gsm or global features as the other variants of the grand prime series g530/t/h/t1 and others....there must be a way to somehow extract data from each and compile a greate baseband for the g530 to enable call and sms features and ussd features as well cause im sure the g530p is no different from g530t or the other variants in this series as they all have the same msm8916 qualcomm modem but the features are either locked to cdma or gsm/umts
CODERS OUT THERE PLEASE HELP WE NEED YOU!!!!
SUPERCODERS WE NEED YOU ASAP PLEASE HERE US OUT:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Unfortunately, I think, you can't do anything.
You can't install an 530H or 531H ok 530T
To make a 530h ROM fonction on any other model is insanely hard.
I've tried it personally, and everytime I failed.

Can I use SM G360H roms on SM G360T1?

I have noticed that a majority of all the roms belong to SM G360H variants, why is that. Does it matter if the phone is SM G360T1 when flashing a G360H rom that much. Finally, since all the phones are a Galaxy Core Prime variant, with little differences among all, the same processer architecture, and the same amount of ram, they all should work, right?

No it won't work. Yeah we almost have the same specs, but it's not identical. Come to think of it why would Samsung gave us different Model numbers if we have identical devices right?
