Hi, I'm new to flashing ROM's and really don't want to damage this phone.
It's a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT i9500. Is this specific enough? I've heard there are international and non-international versions.
I found this ROM which got good reviews here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/?nocache=1&z=1058009516407261#romList
but I'm not 100% sure it's compatible.
Could someone tell me how I can be 100% sure?
Secondly, some basic instructions on how to restore the phone using Linux (Kubuntu 13.10 to be specific) would be great. This can be done through the USB port on both devices, right?
Thanks
You need to try custom roms by yourself and only you can know which rom suites you. ?

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

Thanks for help.

Your device can brick i you try install rom developed for other devices.
Hey guys!
I am in a fix here. I have finally decided to go for Galaxy S5 but I am unable to choose between the two available SD devices i.e. SM- G900F (European) & SM-G900S (Korean). I see most of the developments happening in 900F at the moment but i am getting a better deal on 900S.
I don't want to end up buying a device where I am unable to flash custom ROMs as I am kinda used to be updated now Thanks to XDA for that!! Someone claims to have already made an enabler for korean versions which would allow us to install any SD ROM on the korean version just by flashing a zip.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789848 .So please suggest which one should I go for as i need to book the device ASAP.
F is the obvious choice is development is what you care about. I doubt there will be much here for the S but if that zip works then maybe it's not an issue. Personally though I think the F is a no brainer

You could although its not recommended and no i dont mean this for all roms. just some roms. sometimes the radio will refuse to work and it will wipe ur external SDcard. you might want to pick out a rom and look for ur specific model in that rom section to see if anyone has gave it a go.
Umm, no. You can't flash an N900 ROM to an N9005 or vice versa, I don't think so.
As per what ROM you should use, well you can't ask for that type of queries here, goes against some rule of XDA.
My favourite and recommendation will always be stock ROMs though, and if you really have an urge to try custom ROMs then choose stock based ones at least.
about rom
a lot of people they update to the echoe rom v22 with that model
give it a try
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
