Hi
If you mean if you can flash a G930F /G935F ( Exynos) rom in a G930A ( AT&T Snapdragon) , the answer is no , not possible , different chipset

I'm not sure what I meant.. Ivery just seen a video of someone flashing a edge roms on a s7 wand was wondering if it's possible.

You can't flash a stock ROM for a different device, bootloader etc are wrong and it will fail (if you are lucky) if it flashed you'd brick your phone
Only way to flash a ROM for a different device would be if it was modded to be flashed in TWRP etc, with the bootloader/modem removed, or whatever was incompatible
As long as the two devices had identical hardware
For example, the G900F S5 and the G900T S5 are the same phones hardware wise, but you can't just flash a G900T stock to the G900F or vice versa, you need to mod them and remove BL and Modem first, then flash with custom recovery

The only stock ROMs you can flash with ODIN are the ones for your model S7
For example mine is the G930F, I can only flash G930F stock ROMs
If you go custom, you can flash whatever custom ROMs are available for that model S7

Flash ROM for N915G

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.
Todd
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.

[Q] SM-N915k Korea

Hi All.. I bought note edge SM-N915K it is an unlocked phone from olleh.. I want to remove the olleh rom and install samsung offical rom. what is the best option to do it ? how do i install it via kies or sam mobile?

It is a Samsung "official" ROM and ONLY choice of you want to stay stock. Flashing other model official firmware will fail.
If you root and install CWM recovery, you are able to flash a couple of slightly modified "custom" ROMs for Exynos. For example, my SkyHigh ROM has optional bloat removal during installation.
If you want to proceed this way, all can be found by searching and reading the forums.
True but i am going to use this fone that is the reason.. i am planning to switch to official rom without operation modifications.. just plan sammy rom with all sammy features. Thats it
Can this be done? There must be a offical rom without operator mess
Please read my post again....... I'm not going to repeat 3x
This is the only official Samsung ROM. The device is built for specific provider and will have bloat ware included.
If you don't root or flash custom ROM, then better get used to it.

I am also using same career device. I suggest you to root your device and flash any developer rom.
I am using career rom like olleh. I replaced olleh boot animation and removed some bloatwear from my device. You can do this only after root.
Oh.. what about the gsm option.. this rom has only 3g and lte.. how do you use gsm/edge?

If you change your CSC to have options available , you may have options like my SkyHigh ROM with Thai CSC

I've just told you, check which model it says in download mode, that is the model phone
If it is snapdragon, 100% it is not the G930F so no you can not flash International

Yes you need to flash stock for the G930V if you want Nougat stock (G930VVRU4BQC5)
I have no idea about your network compatibility

Your phone has been faked, it is a very common issue here on XDA
Everything can be faked apart from download mode
Label on the back, anything inside the firmware, sticker on the box, all can be faked
Download mode cannot be faked, your phone is G930V, end of story

MM or Nougat makes no difference, if you flash for G930V it will flash fine, no dm-verity, no kernel problems, it is the correct stock ROM for your model S7
The only thing I can not predict is your network compatibility
Anyway, whoever you bought the phone from lied to you and ripped you off, if you bought it as G930F, get a refund

Actually he told me this verizon version i bought as second hand it seems so good and new just by 250$ it works fine
We all know it is fake but i think it is good to have snapdragon and adreno 530 by this money, hope nougat compatible with these fake phones.

You're not understanding me, it is not a fake S7, it has been faked to look like a different model S7
It is a Samsung Galaxy S7 model G930V
They change the model number so it looks like International version G930F and other more popular models
The US models are bootloader locked so not very popular
That is the only thing faked with it
if you flash G930V firmware, it will be 100% genuine S7 G930V

Hey dear friend
I scare to do anything by myself so i gave it to programmer and he told me i will flash F model nougat and there will be no problem but after 24 hours he told me F and V roms he downloaded from sammobile fails during flash and he must install 4 file rom and take more money and he finally installed the G930V rom but i don't think so he did anything special maybe he just flashed a official rom from sam.
However my 4G internet speed is very down but rest of mobile performance is ok and nougat is much better.

Hi mate
When you say normal rom , what you mean custom rom or stck firmware
Unfortunately on Snapdragon version ( US carriers) you can not flash a custom rom , no root and lock bootloader, you can only flash stock firmware ( for snapdragon).
Anyhow check in the right forum , this is for the international S8+ version ( Exynos)
check here

Samsung S6 American variants - Unbranded firmware?

Hi,
I've bought a couple of S6 flats which are potentially American variants, I haven't received them yet. I used to have the G920F and we had BTU and XEU firmware that we could flash which didn't include any carrier bloatware.
My question is, is there a similar firmware CSC for the American variants that doesn't include T-Mobile bloatware for example?
Thanks.
I have the T-Mobile variant S6 Edge, but I don't know of any official firmware that can be flashed directly onto a T-Mobile that doesn't have their bloatware. I know you can flash any custom ROM like OdexLite on it that supports either the G92xT or G92xW8, as they are both compatible with each other. The downside to doing that is that you'll obviously trip KNOX, the upside being that you'll have a very debloated ROM, even more than what you would have being on an official, non-carrier ROM.

Ok thanks for your response, I'll probably flash custom roms on them if they turn out to be full of crappy apps.
Thanks.

There is really many good ROM's with support T-version From those what I tested, every one support T/W8 And also good kernels like N0G33K or Aldeon. ROM's are really diffrent so I cannot recommend you anyone because you could'nt like it But for me best are two S8 ports: Ultimate and Noble and also Ultimate but "normal", S6 stock-based

I'll probably go with odexlite, it's stock based. The phones are for family who just use them for daily use, texting, calls and photos. I used to have noble ROM, odexlite, Griffin ROM etc on my s6 a few months ago before I got the s8.
