Buying the SM-N910G, what should I expect? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone;
I'm buying the N910G from a friend of mine and I've just noticed that this device specifically is not supported by any of the ROMS I've come across and liked so far. With the Note 2 it didn't really matter that much, I installed AT&T ROMS on my N7105 and they worked perfectly fine all the time. I don't know about the process here, do Snapdragon ROMS work on Exynos based phones? Do Exynos ROMS that don't support the N910G work on the N910G?
Worst case scenario with the Note 2 when I soft-bricked it I would just plug it into the PC and use Odin to flash the official ROM for my phone and it'll fix any issues, then I'd auto-root it, install recovery, and go back to doing what I was doing.
Anyway, if anyone can help me out here, that would be great. What ROMS can I actually install on it? What are the worrying things I should be avoiding? etc...

Are you crazy , n910g has a good development .
The most supported device is n910f , and n910f roms can be used on n910g .
Exynos roms are limited and you won't see any nougat rom on exynos devices , n910g is snapdragon, if you like roms from exynos development, trust me snapdragon roms are better , the snapdragon community is 20 times larger than exynos community .
Snapdragon Is open source.
Go search something on Google .
Infact the latest note 7 ported roms are made on n910g base .
N910g is best.
On top of that , The renowned issue of note 4 "emmc failure" , has been fixed for n910g .
There is a debrick.img made by me, which can recover your phone even if it is completely unresponsive.
This device is best . Dont even consider any other variant , if your purpose is to flash toms .
It is well supported.

I have n910p, and even use G and F roms with some fixes.
You can't go wrong with snapdragon. You can almost flash all the roms for snapdragon version. But you don't want to try to flash any exynos roms.

Damn! I have been roaming the Exynos section of the forum this whole time thinking it has an exynos chip as the guy I am buying from said it's exynos. And I was wondering how come it has no support and there is no roms for it. I am so glad it's the snapdragon edition. Thanks guys, I'll go check the snapdragon sub-section now!

[Q]I'm confused as to what roms I can flash.

Hello xda
I haven't rooted yet but I'm looking up on what roms I may want to flash but I'm having a problem understanding what roms I can flash.
My phones hardware version says N900p
So I initially thought i could only flash n900 roms
But apon further investigating It seem n900 roms are for the exynos powered note 3.
I just ran cpu-z and it says I have the snapdragon cpu
Does that mean I'm able to flash n9005 roms?
(Btw I'm on sprint.)
Also just a side questions if anyone happens to know. Does sprint care if the Knox is tripped? I remember reading somewhere that they don't but I can find where I read that and I want to be sure.
Thanks to anyone that can help this confused noob.

Get your roms from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development

So much confusion, thanks samsung.

Hi people,
I am thinking to flash a custom rom on my n910c. So still doing my research which rom fits me best.
But I came across some rom specific listing the devices as NOTE 4 INTL, AT&T, T MOBILE etc.
Well, my question is, can i flash note 4 intl roms on my n910c? What is the name for n910c so i can find roms easier? There aren't a lot as far as i found..
Dont recommend me any rom, as I know that sort of break the rule here. I just want to know the code name/name for n910c so i wont potentially hard/soft brick my n910c.

n910c is just a note 4 with exynos cpu, on n910c you can flash only n910c
n910f is a note 4 with qualcomm snapdragon
they are both the NOTE 4 INTL
n910a is at&t
n910v is verizon
n910p is sprint
n910t /n910t3 is Telekom
i think there are a couple more variants of note 4, but you can flash roms only for your device wich is N910C

Roms for SM-G935K The Korean S7 edge

Hi all I couldn't find a thread or section which will help me or guide me to install some of the beautiful roms here for my device, can you please help me out and let me know where can I find the roms matching my device.
I really appreciate your quick reply,
thanks

Your device = the Exynos 8890 variant. I don't see why the many ROMs available here on XDA wouldn't work?! I have the Exynos W8 variant (Canada). That specific S7 edge variant is not included in many of these ROMs compatibility list, but it works anyway.

Well, thanks for your reply, in fact I didnt try any rom yet, because whenever I read the model supported in every rom thread, I couldnt find mine or the model I mentioned in the subject.
since you have the Exynos 8890 which is similar to mine so I think you are right...Which rom you tried and it works ...?
many thanks again.

SM-G935K is exynos variant model, you can flash custom roms for exynos model.
I have same model SM-G935K and flash custom rom for exynos model.
but if you want flash custom rom, you need flash custom recovery and void warranty.

Thanks for the reply, appreciated
well, where it mentioned that in (the rom thread) it is compatible with exynos variant model? The only thing I found in the subject is the model numbers of the devices..
Yes I knew about the custom recovery and the warranty issue, thanks again.

Installing Exynos based roms from other variants on N910U

First of all pardon me if this is a noob question or is already asked, I tried to search a lot but couldn't find it so decided to ask here.
Now I'm using a Note 4 N910U and there is very little development for it, it has exactly the same specs and hardware as N910C and N910H or any other Exynos variants so is it possible to install a rom that is made for C/H variants on U?
any help would be great.:good:
Thanks in advance.
Going my the Note4 modem list, looks like at least modem hardware is different
See Note4 Modem hardware Versions

Should I switch from my A40 to a Note 4?

My A40 has been crap recently (can't install ROMS etc.) And the newest note phone that has a simple bootloader is the Note 4 I have a Note 3 and the experience is great on it. So should I get a Note 4?

It's a good phone but:
as there are many posts about emmc failure of these devices I wouldn't have bought it knowing that in advance.
You never know when it happens and have no chance to avoid it.
If you can get it cheap, it might still be worth it as some guys offer repairing/resoldering it.
Don't take N910V Verizon, as these are very hard to flash TWRP/custom ROM onto it.
N910C with Exynos CPU are said to be faster than N910F Snapdragon but not that well supported with custom ROMs.
