Before customizing tips needed - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i currently own a samsung galaxy s3. so i know alot already about installing custom rom, custom recovery kernels etc..
i once bought a samsung galaxy s5 and customized it successfully but there are times that the phone reboots randomly for no reason. and that was a hardware issue i suppose, since after i flashed and original firmware, the reboot problem hasn't gone
any heads up i need to know before i install any custom rom or so? i am planning to buy an s5 but scared to make mistakes again.
are there any apps to test the hardware issues?
Thanks and regards

[Q] {HELP!}What is the different between GT-P5110 & GT-P5113

Hi All,
I've a question as the title. I'm new to the tablet family, but I've experience on my galaxy note & SIII.
I recently got my hand on the GT-P5113, since I would like to change the language or regional setting (Chinese- Hong Kong)
Is it compatable for me to flash other P5110 stock rom to the P5113 via Odin?
Will is cause problems or even brick it?
many thanks!!
IR blaster and lack of vibration in the 3. Would of thought roms were interchangeable between the two

As far as I remember reading when I bought this was that ROMs are actually specific to each device.
Thank you for the replies.
I want to find out if anyone has tried flashing different region rom.
I don't mind losing the IR function, but other than this, will it cause major issue and most importantly will it brick!!
I want to keep it simple no root, stock rom is fine, as the Tab is for my uncle to use.
Any input and reassurance is much appreciated!!
If I go ahead and try, any problem, I can always flash back the original Rom, Right??
One more thing, Does both the 5110 & 5113 use the same CPU.
I know for a fact that the US Galaxy Note & International Note uses different CPU. That's why they are so incompatible.
According to this post

5113 roms can be flashed to a 5110

Any custom ROMs for a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900R6)?

Someone gave me this old phone that I'd like to turn into a simple multimedia device for my dad. This SM-G900R6 is stuck at 6.0.1.
I'm curious if there are any custom ROMs I can put on this version?

samsung s5 stays on samsung logo

hello everyone, i have a problem with my s5, after custom romming it it wont boot to the stock because it stays on the samsung flickering logo, any idea on why? its using a cheap battery
I'm experiencing the same issue on my not rooted G900F (Italy) and I'm stuck, waiting for any advice.
Not sure if it was due to a custom firmware though, since I stopped using it many years ago...
I also tried hard reset and any wipe options available.
Thanks in advance.
