[Q] Carrier Specific ROMs

Hey Guys!
I have a question regarding stock roms. I've been looking at SamMobile for an official release of Lollipop here in Philippines, the only download I can see is for a local carrier Globe. Will it cause problems if I flash this on my international N9005?
I also want to ask the same question for an S4 I9505, but it's the other way around; the phone is from Globe, network locked, and I am thinking of flashing an international version ROM. Will this cause problems? I know this isn't the right forum but just in case someone would like to answer.
Thank you!

1. Yes, you will have problems with the radios. It's not importat where you live that what CSC have your device. Install this APP and look for your CSC. Go to Sammobile.com, look for your csc, download and flash the latest stock rom for your device via ODIN. (Pic attached)
2. Regarding GT-i9505: Yes, it will cause lose of signal. The best you can do is unlock it by IMEI.

I flashed a rom from Brazil. Everything works great it's just that the bloatware included is annoying. I figured the best option to flasha ROM from my country but the only one with a Lollipop ROM is carrier specific.

Samsung allows users to use roms from their own region interchangeably. In most cases, even globally.
I've never encountered issues with radio or signal loss when flashing different providers and countries in my own region, and I've had thousands of people flash and use all sort of different EU firmwares. (you can find the region on the sticker on the box.)
(US users have different devices with real carrier locks, so those are excluded.)

Losing mobile data when flashing G935F ROM on G935FD (Dual Sim)

Hi. I flashed custom ROM for G935F on my G935FD (Dual Sim) after seeing some comments that the dual sim function should work fine as it is the same firmware. Everything went well and dual Sim also work. However, I noted that mobile data no longer works when I am using the dual Sim. If I use only 1 Sim + SD card, the mobile data works great.
I am looking for stock firmware for G935FD, but cannot seem to find one. My phone is unlocked and an South East Asia version.
I try flashing some Stock firmwares from other region like UK or Netherlands, but problem still exists.
Anyone else has the same issue? Any suggestion for fix, please? Thanks.

I dont have the same issue cause I'm on the original firmware.
Check out if the CSC and the firmware are the same by dialing *#1234#
I think however that should be the same.
Download (slow download is free) and install with Odin.

I found the problem and solution myself. I have to manually set the APN for each Sim card... and now it's working fine. :laugh:

You'll have to wait until sammobile.com gets firmwares for the SM-G935F upload.

check sim manager, sim 1 or sim 2 might be configured to have mobile data off.

I haven't noted any difference.

Thx, is battery for g935fd not as good as compared with others post for g935f? I feel it does not have much different with note5. I think may be different at battery life with 935f and 935fd even with same exynos cpu...

Hello ...
Can I flash UK G935F firmware on my G935FD version ???????
Mine is unrooted running on Stock FD firmware so far ...
I don't want to root as it would trip KNOX and warranty as well ...
Thanks...

I'm also noticing my battery life is pretty poor compared to everyone else with Exynos. Barely 3h SOT. Considering flashing the single-SIM firmware since I don't use the dual sim functionality, but just guessing at this point. I've tried all the battery cache and hard-reset tricks in the other threads.
@vichet007 You said you haven't noticed a difference, but are you getting good battery life? So many exynos people are reporting 6-7 hour SOT without even trying.

Do you need to have phone sim unlocked to flash new ROM?

Did you SIM unlock your phone before flashing the new ROM? What ROM did you use? are you Globe or Smart Tel? What version of ODIN did you use? I have same problem with you, also using G935FD now and not able to activate mobile data on SIM2. Flashing the G935F is an option I am looking at to be able to use mobile data on both SIMs. Thanks

Guys do you have the WiFi calling on your settings? I lose this feature when I flash the other firmware... smartswitch could not restore the original firmware either..lol

Yes you can flash G935F on G935FD. I just finished doing it on mine. It removed the mobile data restriction on SIM2

Any differences in your battery life since flashing G935F? Myself and a few others with 935D are seeing pretty poor battery life and a constantly warm device, I'm trying to figure out if I have a faulty device or if it's just the firmware or something constantly running

Galaxy s7 edge weird issue?

Hy all! This is my first thread.
And so sorry for my english.
So I bought a galaxy s7 edge (g935f) from the internet and it has a lot of weird issue...first this phone is a single sim t-mobile (hungary) version, but the software says this is a dual SIM version (935FD) I flashed a full-wipe 4 file from with Odin but after that the problem is still there. If I go to the ONE I menu the first imei is the phone's own imei, but the second imei is just a lot of zeros.
My second problem is that the wireless connections doesn't works.
The Bluetooth can't find any BT devices and the Wi-Fi is recognize only the 5ghz networks.(2.4ghz networks are invisible)
Is it possible to get this phone back to normal?
Is it should work if I try to reinstall the phone with smart switch? That app is download firmware that is match with the phone original carriers Rom.
Thanks in advance.

If the phone is the dual sim one (SM-G935FD) flashing the BTU ROM from SM-G935F (single SIM model) or the INU ROM from the SM-G935FD, it'll detect the second SIM slot that also works as microSD card.
By detecting it, it seems you have an G935FD...
try flashing one of those ROM's I have mentioned above with ODIN and do full wipe of the phone.
That will probably solve everything

Where did you get your phone from? Better return it...

Need help for S5 Dual Sim models

hi guys. i m currently using a S5 Dual Sim Model SM-G9006W. I had used SM-G900FD model few month ago. When i bought 9006W set from market the set had a android 5.0, and surprisingly the set's "SIM Card Manager" option had detailed features similar to SM-G900FD, which let me run data on both sims (one at a time) using LTE/4G settings. this feature on both sims is not available officially in SM-G9006W / 9008W handset, as 2nd sim is locked on 2G Network.
can anyone help me how it can be done to enable such settings in official firmware of SM-G9006W. as the android 5.0 installed on handset seems a custom rom.

Which is for those types of questions.
I'm not sure if you can do that since I only have a G900V.

Way to change language in S5

Hi,
Yep, change the language.
No, it's not that simple as you might think - like open up preferences and choose correct language. Or install some kind of soft that doesn't work properly (not localized to the end).
Phone I'm referring to, is made for US market probably, hence no European languages there. It's SCH-G900P, and from what I googled, it's a Galaxy S5 Sport (for US).
From what I know, best way is to reprogram the firmware with European version. But, but.... I've got few details to find out, like:
* which FW to pick - is that country and network, which phone is operating in ? For example, I need to change language to Polish - so is it a difference between Polish networks (in terms of FW features that I'm going to download) ? Is it more safe to pick exactly the same network firmware, or it makes no difference at all (maybe except some bloatware) ?
* what about WiFi calling feature - for example British BTU and British EE are quite different - first one (unbranded) won't allow this, and second one (EE) - will do, so maybe it's better to use British EE firmware to get more features (and other languages should be built-in) ?
* S5 do have 2 various CPUs (from what I know), does it matter, or all FWs are common ?
Thank you forany clues.
Cheers,

According to SamMobile, the CSC selection for the Sprint S5 (SM-G900P) is as follows.
BST = Australia (Boost Mobile)
SPR = USA (Sprint)
XAS = USA (Sprint)
VMU = USA (Sprint)
XAR = Cellular South
The only other option would be (if it can be done) is to Unlock the Bootloader and search for a way to be able to flash a Compatible Custom Firmware that has the language your looking for like the SM-G900F.
I've never tried this myself on either of my S5 Devices but, see if any one of the following threads/links are helpful.

Thanks for reply.
I don't know how it happened, but apparently I had unlocked bootloader as I was able to install TWRP and flash custom kernel with no hassle.
Now looks like there's only one custom firmware that supports multiple languages, including Polish: Beanstalk (thread present in Sprint S5 group). However I can't check the rest of its features as Pixel Launcher constantly hangs up.

You can always ask this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for the klte variants.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3680666
Just keep in mind that the LineageOS for your device is the "KLTEDV" and the above thread is the support thread for all variants that doesn't have their own Official LineageOS thread (like yours).
If you need to, you can always try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to all GS5 devices.
