Can I flash another country's firmware on my s5 g900f? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I have a g900f from UAE and as it still hasn't got lollipop I was wondering if I can flash another firmware from sammobile.. If I can do so, can someone guide me at how to do it?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app

Yep, long as it's for the G900F
Grab ODIN, grab the ROM you want from sammobile, install samsung drivers, put the phone into download mode, connect to PC, press PDA or AP on ODIN and load the .TAR ROM file, press Start
Phone will be wiped in the process so backup anything important
Instructions are under the download on sammobile anyway
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.09
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

Restoring stock ROM to S5

Hi,
I'm selling my S5 so I need to remove the ROM that installed from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
and return to stock. Can someone point me to instructions for this process?
Thanks.
Stock ROM for the model number of your device
Odin3 tool.
Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver.
Charged rooted or non rooted Samsung galaxy S5.
USB cable and Windows PC
Backup your important data before flashing, in case of this process corrupt your data. [important in downgrading] Download stock ROM file (make sure you download the right FW for your phone's model number) from SamMobile or Samsung-Updates and unzip it only one time (the extracted firmware file has *.tar.md5 extension). Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver (Link below) Download Odin3 tool and unzip it (Link below) Close Samsung Kies and disconnect any device connected to USB ports of your computer.
Run "Odin3" as administrator.
Click on PDA button (AP if you are using Odin3 v3.09) and navigate to the *.tar or *.tar.md5 firmware file (it will take a few second to check firmware file, if you are using Odin3 v3.09).
- If the Zip file contains more than one *.tar file then they will be labeled with PDA, Phone and CSC. Put them in the corresponding section of Odin3
Shut down your device and make sure it's completely off. Put your device into download mode by pressing and holding (Volume Down + Home + Power) buttons then Press Volume up to continue.
Connect your galaxy S5 to PC using USB cable and wait until you get a sign in Odin (ID:COM section) and "Added" in message box. Make sure re-partition is NOT MARKED[very important]
Click Start and wait a few minutes until you see "RESET" or "PASS!".
If your device stuck in bootloop, factory reset it from recovery mode.
Instructions were taken from wolfdroid, i followed them an installed the stock rom on my s5.

How to fix boot loop on the galaxy trend lite (gt-s7392)

This is a guide for those who accidentally bricked their gt-s7392. For a fix pls download firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares and search for the device name (gt-s7392)...download the one for your region and also download odin 3.07... (google it). Save files to a pc. Now on a pc, extract the firmaware (.tar.md5 file) from the region type you downloaded (e.g s7392xpuank1, or whatever you downloaded). Next hold volume down, home and power button on phone for a long time till phone reboots. There is an option to continue or quit, press the volume up to continue. Plug phone to pc. Now open odin on the pc and select pda. Look for where you extracted the firmware (it is a .tar.md5 file) now wait for it to load and click start.. Wait this might take some time and you are done. The phone will now reboot and no data will be lost. But you will be reverted to stock if you are using custom rom.
Odin 3.09
Try Odin 3.09 that will definitely work
