[Q] Rooting different models' firmware to Galaxy S5

hi,
I have a galaxy S5, it is from China and it is original. I downloaded antutus apk file from my computer and transfered it to my phone then installed the apk file. And i benchmarked my phone. It is real. The model name is SM-G9006V.
As i checked all the samsung galaxy s5 phones on earth have the same cpus and gpus except the models with octa core and korean models. I live in Turkey, in Turkey model name for galaxy S5 is G900 or G900F or G900FQ. It doesnt matter language for me so doesnt matter if the firmware includes Turkish language.
My question is, would it be a problem if i root G900F's firmware to my G9006v?
currently my phone works, i can make calls and search the web. I don't have google play store, baidu search engine is on my home screen and i want it to be google. And i think there will be more problems in the future i think, because of the restrictions of China government on my phones software.
I tried these:
a>GoogleServicesFramework(Check your phone via RE explorer)
b>GoogleLoginService
c>Google play store(lastest version is better)
With latest versions. Play store is opening but not connecting to internet, first time it asked me for my gmail account and i logged in. It is currently shows that i am logged in to my google account on play store. But play store doesnt connect to internet. And i also tried downloading apps from the browser hoping it directs me to play store properly but phone software doesnt recognize play store(i think).
So would it be any problem if i install another model's firmware?(I personally do not think it will be a problem because all the hardware are the same). And would it make any features disappear?
Or how can i get over these problems with different solutions?
Ik , just do factory setting , asus zenfone 4 also get the problem..

I think you didn't understand the problem. In china google is banned. So this restrictions are in the stock rom. And i also did factory settings.
Oh , sorry ya..

SM-N9108V Galaxy Note 4 Google Play Store

Hi
I bought my phone, galaxy note 4 Sm-n9108v in China. I have came to notice that I cannot use Google Play. I tried downloading apk and i tried flashing a rom and rooting. I think the flashing and rooting didn't go well, but I somehow unbricked it (because it was bricked after rooting).
Are there anyways that I can use google play store? I know that I can do many things without google play, but without google play store, I don't have access to google services, and without google services, I can't use apps like snapchat.
Please help meee thanks

In great need of assistance

Hello,
I own a Huawei Honor 5x (KIW-AL10) and it seems to be the chinese version.
The problem is i cannot sync contacts or get google apps by default. It's really annoying. Plus some chinese words here and there, even if the language is set to english.
My question is : how safe would be flashing a stock ROM, but for a different version of the phone (USA, Europe).
Has anyone did this before ? And if so, what ROM and where to download it from ? I would like to receive Marshallow update too.
Thank you
Hi Sir, you can install any version of the stoock rom just be sure that your model is same otherwise it will not install. And you can install Europe one because MM is recieved by the Europe CSC phones
The LTE bands seem to be fine. I live in Romania and i get 4G. My only issue with the phone is the ROM and all Google features i cannot get. For example, i cant use contacts from my Google account.
Im looking for a solutions to be able to install an international version of software and not to brick my phone. By the way, my phone has 3GB of RAM.
Hello and thank you for your input.
The thing that buggs me right now is that i cannot use google contacts.
I've downloaded Play Store from Huawei thingy presinstalled on the phone and worked my way from there.
Google App, Gmail are up to date.
Problem is that "sync contacts" will not appear on Accounts > Google. I have given all permisions to Google app.
I need to find a way to switch to an European / Worldwide ROM. I am willing to pay for someone's time helping me.
I do love this phone and what it offers and i would like MM update too.
I've done some research and it seems that is possible to change the region code. After that its ok to flash the ROM from that specific region.
However, i dont have any experience regarding this process. Can someone assist me via skype ? I will pay, of course !
Noone did this before ?

How can i install a firmware different from the china version?

Recently bought a Yoga Tab 3 Plus from china and can't access google play store. HELP

Hey all. As the title says I recently got the tab 3 plus from China and as such it isn't loaded with anything google related. I tried downloading the apk files for google services and store but it seems lenovo have gone out of their way to make sure these things don't work on the device. After many hours trying to figure out how to solve my problem I stumbled upon a video on youtube of a man who flashed a Chinese version of the device with global row firmware. Unfortunately he did not mention how he went about doing this, so here I am in a desperate attempt to figure it out. Going to be honest I was really hoping I wouldn't have to risk bricking my device just so I can use the apps I like. Any help on the safest way to go about this procedure would be greatly appreciated.
Quick edit my model number is YT-X703F running android 6.0.1
I don't know anything about the China version. Have you tried changing the language? Settings/ Personal/ Language and settings.
Download the Google Play apk to your computer. Transfer apk to the tabs Download folder.
