Hi, I use a note edge N915G (Australian vodafone) , but I have found that it is very hard to find a custom made ROM for this model, so I wonder if I can flash a custom made N915F or N915S ROM for N915G note edge? Thanks in advance.

From what I can gather so far no you can't sadly. But I would gladly accept someone proving me wrong lol
915S most definitely not as it is for exynos. You need Snapdragon rom...
The 915F rom might work but you would need to have a custom recovery and re-activation lock off(unticked) or you could end up with a brick... Just make sure you have you're stock rom ready to flash in case you need it...
Samsung removes the region lock from the Note 3 to put in different models per region for the Note 4/Edge to stop the grey imports.... Real Sh!theads aren't they...

Many thanks, mate. It is sad no one has created a customised ROM for Note edge N915G yet, and I really hate Sumsung made different models per region for Note Edge .

I've been doing a little research on the hardware specs of the g model and the t variant. From what i can see, it looks possible, just on the surface that is. I've also read that people have flashed different region firmware with no probs too, this was mainly for language options, but they report all functions working. So i'm gonna have a crack at it tonight. I've done my Nandroid back up, so i believe i am safe to go back.
I'll report findings a little later.
Samsung Note Edge Australia.
Ok just boot looping. Not good
I'm also interested, more importantly with the release of CM12 for Note 4. Just wondering what happens when you flash a Note4-ROM over a Note Edge. Apart from brain implosion or explosion, do you guys think it's remotely possible?
you can not flash SM-N915S for example to SM-N915G it will fail , if you are SM-N915G you Can flash all SM-N915G Roms even these made for different region

Should work but you will loose your Edge notifications... I tried to replace the Aircommand menu with a custom one from the Note 4 but it wiped out the Edge notifications - replaced the framwork-res.apk file...
The Note 4 has the same specs as the Edge except for the screen. so it should be possible, however be VERY careful as this is an expensive toy to brick on a possibility...
And of course you can't flash a 915S rom, it's an exynos CPU. The 915G is a Snapdragon CPU, however, you should be able to flash a different region rom for the Snapdragon CPU through a custom recovery as long as the partition table doesn't need to be flashed too...
neckabutu, it would have to be a modified stock rom... Unfortunately it won't be flashed through ODIN like other phones can do but through TWRP or CWM...

sounds really tempting. Do you think one could perhaps flash a Note 4 ROM (i'm thinking more of the CM12 rom), and add specific .apk such as the cocktail service applications and it's related frameworks manually back to the Edge so that the edge screen works again?

As I said I'd be really careful doing this. If you're interested in trying though I would suggest the same region rom. If you have the n915g then use an n910g rom.
Best chance for recovery. Also, and this is a must, have a nandroid backup on external storage in case of bootloops.
Might be all the difference between a brick and a working device...
I found the custom n915fy rom just bootloops.
Bloody Samsung and their quest to stop grey imports... As it's my device I should be able to put what I damn well like on it without their interference, and buy it from wherever I want.

Hi there!
I was wondering, I currently have the SM-G930FD (Exynos Duos) and with the announcement that Samsung Pay is coming to Canada soon, I wanted to flash a Canadian firmware onto it. Would a Canadian firmware work on my device? Thanks!
You'd possibly lose the dual sim capability flashing a single sim firmware, as for the firmware working let alone samsung pay is anyones guess, most likely no.

Dual-sim wasn't a big concern to me (didn't even know the phone had it when I ordered), but thank you!
Hello Friends
I am having SM-G930F and SM-G930S. I would like know how the band support is provided in the Samsung S7 variants?
Is it dependent on the Hardware or software? If it's hardware which part of the hardware, is it the processor (as both above uses same exynos chip) or modem chip? I did tried to check the schematic for SM-G930F but didn't find anything interesting. In case if it's software, then is it the kernel or any configuration file?
The reason is with the stock firmware on SM-G930S, 3G-900 mhz is not supported. I want to fix it.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ankur
Hi Moderator,
Please share if this is the right place to ask this type of question? or I need to post it at some other section.
Kind regards,
Ankur

Yes, the phone will then need the FD firmware installed.
Yeah but you would need to find one though
Hi everyone! I´m dealing with a serious doubt maybe... I have a Galaxy a52 SM-A525M, can I flash a firmware from model SM-A525F?? Thanks!
Idk about that. I wouldn't try it tbh. There are phones on which it can work but idk if the A52 is one of those phones.

Technically, because of the hardware specifications are almost exact, this should be possible but likely not without root.
If you were to flash using Odin, I'm fairly certain, and I would really need to dig and compare the BL and AP portions of A525M and A525F, that the flash would be rejected.
