Why J500FN ROMs don't allow installation on J500F devices? This wasn't a problem on other phones like the S4 Mini / S4 Mini DUOS or S6 / S6 Edge. Their ROMs are fully compatible between them. Why can't a J500F kernel be installed on top right after, like how it was done on the S4 Mini or S6?
It appears to me that the biggest difference might be the baseband. The kernel and everything else is likely similar. Still, because of the risk of rendering your phone inoperable, I do not advise flashing firmware intended for another device. If you flash the wrong bootloader and/or baseband, it could permanently brick your phone.

Hello people! Im very new to rooting and flashing roms so could you also assist me on how to do it (like doing a custom recovery/unlock bootloader)? I have the Galaxy S5 ATNT variant and I wonder if you guys have any smooth roms for it. I heard that Cyanogenmod released a klte rom (nightly rom) which is for the Galaxy S5 LTE version and Im wondering if it could function well for my Galaxy S5 G900A. And what are AOSP roms? Are they like stock roms or something close to that? I need it to be less bloated (or not, but has to be faster than stock rom) and a smoother/faster ROM than the Touchwiz (Stock) ROM (And yes I know that it voids your warranty)

you require doing a root and installing safestrap. the at&t kernel/bootloader is locked and encrypted so you cannot flash custom kernels or recoverys. visit the at&t forum for information. i sold my at&t model and bought a sm-g900f because of this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Metro Pcs (sm-g900t1) and i cant seem to find any custom roms that support this model , i heard from somewhere on this site that i can use the Tmobile custom roms (sm-g900t) since my phone is just rebranded , well i wanted to know if that was true. can i just do that ? or do i need to flash the firmware and change it to sm-g900t ? any help will be thankful.
As long as g900t1 and g900t have the same hardware internally, you should be good with using g900t ROMs
ok i have samsung Galaxy s5 boost mobile at 6.0 or something, what i wanted to root it but it will not work i wanted to use odin (i know how to use it)to flash the most recent stock rom etc that will then allow me to root and have the root stable can some one help me.i cannot seem to find a rom for it.i have done this successfully on my sprint samsug galaxy s5 with only slight stability issues.
Samsung galaxy s5 boost mobile

So you want to revert to stock your already rooted device? Then install root again?
Could you provide the PDA code?
I have this same phone and I want to do the same thing. I'm not sure what the PDA code is but the build number is: MMB29M.G900PvPS3CPK1_Deodexed
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
I just been given a Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536, think it may be Korean model. My question is what roms are compatible?
when i boot to recovery it shows samsung/matisse10wifikx/matisse10wifikx6.0.1/MMB29K/T536KXu1AQF1
how do you root?
It also came with a knox profile but it loads korean software. I want to disable or remove Knox.
This is my first samsung device, I have installed roms on my other devices but a noob with samsung and dont want to brick it.
any links you recommend for noob ?
Hello, I am a person with Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536 living in Korea.
The Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536 is a Korean model. The tablet has no custom ROM developed. Security updates from Samsung
Even though it's 2022, it continues to do so, but the Android version doesn't update it. So, when I tried to install a custom ROM, I found that the model does not have a custom ROM that can be installed, and even if there is, there is no TWRP Recovery required to install it.
So it must be considered impossible.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't use custom ROMs from SM-T536 and similar SM-T530.
SM-T530 and SM-T536 may be bricks due to different hardware
