Im confused, My note 3 is the N900W8, my understand is that the 900 series have the Exynos Processor yet every spec list i've searched for says it has the snap dragon.
I want to Root/flash roms to my phone and want to make sure im using the correct roms and what have you. Should i be looking in the 905 section or then 900 section or somewhere entirely different?

N900 = Exynos
every other model number - N900W8, N9005, etc - is Snapdragon.
basically, if it's LTE, it's snapdragon.
you can flash N9005 ROMs on your W8, but may need to apply a BT/WIFI/NFC fix to get your radios to work.
In addition to being able to flash N9005/N900T roms with no issue besides getting a compatible kernel/wifi fix, you'll likely be able to retain Knox 0x0 status as well ^-^

I know Snapdragon won't work on Exynos and vice versa but on the older models the ROMs could be flashed from different international regions and worked perfectly - I used a UK ROM on my Note 3 for quite a while as the Aussie ROMs take as much time as tectonic plate movement to be released....
Has Samsung region locked the hardware through using region specific roms that aren't flashable through regions?
I see a few versions of ROMs around for certain 915* roms with the stipulation that they can't/shouldn't be flashed on another version and was wondering if that was so..
A Devs input on this would be nice, thanks for reading my ramblings...

Hi, guys
I've been looking for any major differences between the SM-G920I vs SM-G920F. I'm aware there are some differences regarding the frequency bands but appart from that I don't think there are things to set them appart - is that right?
For instance, would it be possible to flash a 920F rom into a 920I withouth issues? If there is a difference is the bands, perhaps the Modem would underperform in comparison to its actual original rom.
Thanks in advance

I too feel the sane but is there anyone who has tried so?
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
ive very much been wondering the same thing as ive been wanting to put the alliance rom and framework onto my Galaxy S6 920I but ive only seen support for the 920F model so ive held off from trying it.
Ever bothered to ask the ROM chef? They know the differences in the stock ROMs simply because one has certain files that the other may or may not have. The more active developers here often have separate threads for those having issues with their ROM, and for bug submissions. Drop by the AllianceROM thread with your questions, but please do some reading and don't post unless you can't find an answer for what you're asking...
Since the galaxy s6 edge has the exynos 7420 cpu does that mean international roms will work on US carriers? just have to change the APNs?

I have been wondering the same thing. Have you gotten any further with this?
I'm in South America and would like to flash an INT ROM hoping to get LTE working here. LTE Band where I am right now is 1900 mhz. Would flashing an INT ROM "unlock" the phone for that? Are there other "consequences" that one should be aware of when flashing an official International ROM? Any comment on this is appreciated :good:

no i haven't found any information on it sadly :/
Im searching information about too. I tried install some 925F roms then flash 925p kernels but no luck. GPS not working, data/voice not working, even no mobile operator setting in setup.
You would need more than just download and flash!!! You need to port libs, xmls, framework, apps etc to make it compatible with Sprint
Anyway of getting a sprint compatability zip?

Thanks for the info. In my case I don't need to make it compatible with Sprint since I'm in South America. Any suggestions on how to flash an official International G925 Rom?
I think that will happens only when somebody write unified kernel for F/I/*/*/*/and P version of this phone. I researched this and found that noone from kernel makers want not do this. In nearby thread one programmer offer to try modified bootloader for 925p (to be able rollback to 5.0.2). He can't even find testers(. No one want brick their phones.

Not true..... People have been testing bootloaders. Still more work done to be done to it. There have been about 5 testers

Sorry. Didn't know that. Wish you luck in bootloader unlocking.
S6 G920F roms on S6 G920P?
Dear users
I would like to have S6 International roms on my S6 Sprint but I can't,
is there a compatibility for sprint file to fix the other touch screen and other processor (exynos and snapdragon)?
Please, can anyone reply if you know it?
PS: Sorry for my English, it's not good.
Hey, what's up guys?
Need some info please....please don't bash me...lol
I will be getting my Note 5 soon and would like to start tinkering with it, I would like to know if i can install another firmware on the device? I did some research and to my understanding, only corresponding firmware can be flashed. e.g. any other country N920i firmware can be flashed on a N920i variant.
I will be getting a T-Mobile variant soon and would like to know if i could somehow wipe the device and flash another variant's firmware?
I know it could be done with the HTC M8 so i'm a bit curious if it can be done with the Note 5 device too.....
p.s. I chose the t-mobile variant because of all the attention and development its been receiving compared to the other models. International variants usually have the most developments, roms and especially faster software updates....but t-mobile seems to have the lead for now with roms etc. Feel free to enlighten/correct me please......
So i just dont know if im looking for the right stuff or what..
Id like a rootable ROM for debloat and performance reasons.
I have a Galaxy J7 SM-J727U..
Just got it from the store and i can find barely any info on this Model.
Does it have a different name? or just no development for this device?
Thank you
I've got the same phone, and I'm in the same situation. I've got 15 days to return it if I can't find a viable root option, but it seems decent for the price. I've gone through a lot of the steps for trying to root similar models, and in every case I simply can't flash anything with Odin. It gives the error "secure check failed". Everything I've looked into about this seems to point to the "OEM unlock" option under developer options, which this phone doesn't seem to have. I would also love to know if there's any potential for progress on this. I'm willing to put in some research and testing, and I'll let you know if I find anything anywhere else.
The U usually stands for UNLOCKED(as in any network/carrier)
Does not necessarily mean the bootloader is unlocked which is likely if the result is 'secure check fail'
What are the specs of this device and country of origin?
Anyone please say the exact CPU used in ths model. SM-J727U.

That's wrong, sorry. I saw one of the YouTubers Boost Mobile variant (J7 Perx) of SM-J727 with installed Snapdragon 625. I've sent this question to the Samsung support in Twitter, they've confirmed my suspicion of the Snapdragon-based US device. But I was unsure. And here I am completely sure of Snapdragon 625 inside J7 2017 US version.

It was my understanding he is in Ukraine, and there the j727u is the Exynos model, as is the US j727u. The j727p and t models use the snap dragon chips

Yes I am the Ukrainian resident, and her we can obtain the SM-J730F. This is a real Exynos 7870 device. But yours J727U might have a different one.
EDIT: One of the users said that there is indeed Samsung Exynos 7870 inside the unlocked model. Meh. From the wompshmack's post the Download Mode looks to be verifying the signatures.
I have a J7 that is SM-S727LT. I can't find anything on that either

Can I ask you to look for CPU model in your phone? CPU-Z should provide it.
Sorry.. it the phone is a J7 sky pro and the model is SM-S737TL. Sorry about that. The cpu is a 7870.

A bit offtopic, but there also is the SM-J727S model, which is the Samsung Wide 2 (or J7 for Souh Korea, sold by the SK Telecom carrier), there is TWRP for it. The CPU is also Exynos 7870.
Theoretically the same rootmethod can be used. Can anyone test?
ANYONE ROOT AND TWRP J727U ?? HELP.. i see no option to enable oem unlock also why.. got my htc rooted then if failed screen damage lines ect fault of too many drops i guess so got this galaxy thinking it will have a twrp ect as its a galaxy yet i find nothing, my luck..
