I have a G900V bootloader unlocked currently running CM 13 and I would like to add Sprint CDMA & LTE bands so I can use a The Peoples Operator SIM card in an area that has better Sprint coverage than VZW. I read over this Guide on adding GSM & LTE Bands to the G900V and calculated the binaries to add the bands:
CDMA 0,1,10
LTE 2,4,13,25,26,41
CDMA Binary 10000000010
LTE Binary 100000000000000110000000000010000000010100
All set to go but I can't seem to get figure out how to get into USB Settings to change from AP to CP and MTP + ADB to RNDIS + DM + Modem, the dialer codes just don't seem to work even after changing efs/carrier/hiddenmenu from OFF to ON. I took a look at EFS Pro but it doesn't seem to have an option to Change from AP to CP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If your trying to get into diag mode this will do it running cm13.

Thank yo for the link. Sadly I couldn't get the scripts to work on my G900V S5 CM13. But that link ended up leading me to this one CM13 QPST Editing files is a little above my paygrade so to speak, I've been following directions for years but still a total newb at most of this stuff but I am hoping I'm on the right track.

It should work. Are you running the diag.sh script? I have same phone and cm13 and it works for me.

I run DIAG.SH and it just hangs there. I think I am going to do a fresh install of CM13 later this week and give it another shot.
this is what i'm trying to figure out, because i can get a good local S5 VZW but SPR use different LTE bands.
i know typically the saying is never flash anything for a different carrier of your model, but some people seem to do it with a ymmv statement, wondering if this may be the easier route to get it to just work like a native phone.
i've read several threads from people talking about carrier rom swap, some casually saying sure it can work, but no updates from OPs or others that said they would try, definitively saying that it worked or failed.
so... has anyone literally gotten something like the Odin flashable firmware at sammobile or someplace for the Verizon VZW sm-g900v and flashed it with the Sprint SPR sm-g900p stock firmware, completely changing its baseband, modem, everything so it now identifies and works the same as a Sprint phone?
or should i just keep waiting for another similarly cheap S5 bundle in a Sprint flavor?

I've never added any bands to my G900V myself but, I do know that it's plausible to do this.
From what I can tell, the only bands that are needed that the SM-G900P has vs the SM-G900V are specific to the 4G LTE.
Though I did confirm this using a few different locations, I believe that the following link is the best choice in viewing the comparisons between the two devices.
https://www.phonemore.com/compare/p...m-g900v-vs-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900p/4561723
With that guidance...
The following link is one of the Guides available on the forum for adding Bands to a GS5. It was closed but, not because it wasn't working. It was closed because of the negative interactions from various members in there but, the guide and downloads are still good.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2886059
Please Note the success stories on the second post...
The following is another guide as well. Though, it's located within the Galaxy Note 4 area, you could say that the Galaxy Note 4 is the "Note" counterpart to the Galaxy S5.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3160864
Please Note that the OP does reflect some S5 information as well...
Those are just 2 thread examples to help accomplish what you're looking to do.
I do wish you the best of luck and hopefully the next post here will reflect your success!

thanks for the double check.
it looks like those are some of the threads and sites i've looked through already as i wanted to be sure i had the proper lte bands that the Sprint model came with, and it seemed possible.
however, with the increasing coverage of cybersecurity, i am increasingly hesitant the more closed source and leaked tools are involved (especially when i see some thread guides that have a mod edit for malicious download link removal).
i suppose i should just pass on the Verizon listing, and wait to spot a similarly good deal from a local person selling their personally cared for Sprint S5 plus spare battery charger case and 2nd battery all under $100 (i'm sure you can understand why i wanted to "make it work", hehe).
Hello,
My title may not be very cler but I can't find any custom ROMs for my device the J5 SM-J5108CHM (J5 China Mobile version) I can find official firmware but I just hate the interface, I found a really good-looking ROM (VIperOS) but it was for another variant of the phone.
So my question is : can I convert this phone to some other variant with same specs ? Thanks in advance
I've got the same question but no one seems to go to this thread if anyone has an answer to this that would be very appreciated. the j5108 seems to have all the same specs as the other variants so it should work but I'm not taking any risks because this is my everyday phone.
also the china mobile os is complete rubbish use this one (im a new user so i cant post link but just search up updato (dot) com, go to search bar and search j5108, in teh filters bar up top choose hong kong and press update under the search bar)
First, install any lollipop update (if you skip straight to marshmallow you'll end up in a bootloop), and then install either OTA update (it keeps failing for people but its good if you don't want to use Odin again) or you can download the marshmallow os after you install lollipop (make sure to NOT do a factory reset etc you'll end up in a boot loop). Install MM os and boom GAPPS and everything else you'll need.

You can't. Its a different phone. Maybe you think because it says J5 chinese version that its the same thing, just different model number. There are reasons why ot has a different model number, baseband, etc... Its like you have the Samsung Galaxy S2 with exynos and the American one with SD. They are both S2, but totaly different phones.
does xda have a word cap or did my other post not post because it was long or is the image verification a post-verification. anyway, i was saying that all the j5 2016 variants are exactly the same which in theory would allow any model's OS to work on any variant. S2 isn't a great comparison because different models have different hardware while j5 2016 has different models with identical hardware. Just search up j5108 specs and j510x specs and they'll all be the same ill post back in a few weeks when I get a new battery and test out different OS (rn I'm using the stock hong kong OS). I'll try OS for different PDAs and then ill try out different models. Btw all the spec sites say the variants are compatible with Australia so I shouldn't have a problem using different models OS in Australia (meaning 4G, wifi, phone numbers etc should be fine).
Also please explain in more depth why j5 2016 variants are so different to the point that they have different model numbers (i know that sounds passive aggressive and pretend it isn't I honestly want to know). I'm super sorry if I sound like an arrogant **** that wants everything his way but the way the j5 2016 models are made they all seem identical and logically (and in theory) the other variants OS should work on the j5108. if for some reason I cant see my first reply but others can I'm so sorry for this post.

Phones today can have the same harware, same SoC, same RAM, same everything, even the same RIL preferences, but they are different models. The whole stock software was made for a specific device model. The J510FN is different than the J510H, if there was no difference why would Samsung bother to make many versions? The whole operating system, every part of it: Kernel, Apps, Recovery, Hal, Bootloader are mannualy made for a specific model number. Because of that it is hard to make a ROM that supports all of the phones in one Samsung model family lineup. You see now that by pure logic the j508 is very different from the J510FN
Hi guys and gals
Any information on functionality of this model after unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP and choice of rom.
Why I posted was to check that whoever reads this post can be assured of at least getting the same experience of the stock OS, but with all the goodies that come with Oreo, preferably 64bit version.
One thing I have noticed is that download links tend to have a specific model ie pixel experience shows xt1686 on androidfilehost.
So any information regarding UK only model can be kept in one place, if anyone has spent any time reading the G5plus forums its a right mess between the different models, and the same questions and answers are going around again and again, so for us if having one Country specific post can help any confusion, great in my book.
Any non UK owners, please do not clutter up this thread, suggest you create your own model/country specific new post.
Regards
Ray
I've only just got my xt1685, so haven't rooted yet.
I want to use android pay so need to read up on that first.
I've also have a G3 and I prosume this will be the same and any regnal version for a G5 plus will work.
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.

I'm not sure but, I had thought that the LineageOS has a multilingual feature...
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.

Hey guys.
I just bought the S10 Plus from Verizon. I normally purchase the devices unlocked; I don't know why I went through my carrier. I've been using the Note9 until now, but I just had a question. I know that US model devices are manufactured the same and can have different firmware flashed. I've been looking for the S10 Plus firmware, but have been unsuccessful in locating anything for the G975U, I've only been able to find firmware for the 975F. Does anyone know where I can find the correct firmware? I can't stand Verizon's bloatware and removal of some features. Checked Sammobile and a couple other places online, also looked through the forums here, but I don't know if I'm just stupid, but I can't find it. Thanks for your help!
