i search the forums on the at&t galaxy s5 and didnt find a thread on this subject, if there is sorry for not looking better for it. with the at&t galaxy s5 and verizon galaxy s5 getting root later today, do you think development will start with all kinds of different roms and kernels, after the devs get root on their devices ?
i put this question in the wrong forum. could a moderator move this question to the Q & A forum ?
Not too sure about custom roms yet, I think the bootloader will still be locked down like fort knox (pun intended).
No, there won't be any development ever for the at&t s5

All these S2 posts are doing my head in, I have an S1 and i cannot see anything but S2 threads and posts.
S2 owners you need your own section, S1 owners we need to get rid of our S2 relatives, they came for a day or two and now we cannot get rid of them.
Can you add to my request for an S2 section in the link below.

Unfortunately, if they were going to do it I believe they would have by now. It really doesn't make sense as to why they won't separate them... they're completely different devices.
If you've added the requests in that thread, it will get picked up... there should be no obvious reason why the S2 shouldn't have its own Fora, but it really depends on many factors...
I would advise against flooding the request thread... one request is enough. Seriously.

General info
What is the difference between variants? (N920T, NN920I etc)
There are many different variants released for different carriers and countries. The main difference between them are the radio bands and the pre loaded software that differs from each carrier.
Currently Samsung pay is only supported by US and Korean firmware.
If you are wandering which variant will work with your carrier http://www.willmyphonework.net/ is a good resource to use.
Most of the known variants are listed below.
SM-N9200 (China/Hong Kong)
SM-N9208 (Malasia, Taiwan)
SM-N920A (AT&T)
SM-N920C (Afghanistan, Cambodia, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Vietnam)
SM-N920I (International)
SM-N920K (Korea)
SM-N920L (Korea)
SM-N920P (Sprint)
SM-N920R (US Cellular)
SM-N920S (Korea)
SM-N920T (T-Mobile)
SM-N920V (Verizon)
SM-N920W8 (Puerto Rico)
Good idea.

I'll try to get you started:
I flashed WizBangSuperSomething and now I'm stuck in boot loops or I'm getting "FRP Lock" or something else has gone terribly wrong.
I'm a noob and not familiar enough with Norse Gods to know who Odin is.
How can I get my phone restored to stock to use it again?
Edit:
Another useful piece of information (being that I see it asked about 2-5 times each day) might be "what is the difference between the n920x and n920y" (replacing x and y with different variants.)

Added. Thanks for the tip gary.
Here's another good one. You should not drink and post.
I purchased a n920i because I thought it would give me flexibility with root, wifi tethering, and faster updates in the future. Now I'm starting to get concerned since I've learned I can't using Samsung Pay even being in the US. After to talking to some of the guys at AC, updates might actaully be slower on phones NOT from a major market. So I guess my question is, if all the phones radio works with your carrier, which model is preferable for samsung pay, root, wifi tetering, faster updates, etc?? Do any unlocked models work with Samsung Pay?

Unfortunately, Samsung pay isn't available for the n920i. If you've got the Australian version then you'll get it when it's released there. There's a discussion about that in this thread.
To your question though international models usually get the fastest updates, us models for Samsung pay. Rooting and most other mods should be the same.
flash korean version with stock Philippine rom
I bought a Korean version (N920K) and would like to know if i can flash it with stock N9208 rom so that I can remove the carrier splash screen, increase sms character limit of 160, remove korean carrier pre installed software. Will this work?

Those are 2 different models. You can only flash firmware made for your variant.
Noob question regarding modem/radio flashing.
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased the SM-N9208 Duos (Taiwan gsm) Note 5. I made a stupid assumption that the dual sim version would be both cdma and gsm capable. Apparently that is not the case. My questions are: does this model have both radios inside, with one being inactive? Is it possible to root the device, and flash the radio to make it cdma compatible. My understanding is the cdma vs. Gsm is a hardware issue, but I was told some manufacturers include both radios in all models. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. I'm on Verizon, btw. When I spoke to their tech support, I was told there is no "approved" way to get the phone working on their network. He made sure to stress the approved part of the response several times, also leading me to believe it is possible.
S Pen broke and the top is stuck inside the phone.
The bottom of my spend broke off and the rest is stuck inside.
Any ideas???
Jen

I bought a note 5 (t-mobile) that was rooted, the problem is that it randomly reboots and most of the time in the middle of a call, will flashing the stock firmware fix the issue?, I was told that it will boot loop so I'm not sure if I should do it.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can just flash a modem from a verizon model. You'll most likely just get a bootloop. There's a similar discussion going on in this thread, maybe you'll get some help from the guys over there.

Flashing the firmware should fix any software issues you're having. That's what I'd do.

I'm pretty sure I'm **** outta luck. I'm going to end up selling it, because I can't lose my unlimited data. Sucks, too, because I love the titanium silver. Thanks for the reply, though

Did you stick it in backwards? Maybe you can try to get it RMA'd.

I switched providers, and I'm up and running on T-Mobile. LTE was great, until I got to my house. Now I'm losing coverage completely. I know people have said you can't put firmware from different models into this phone; however, is there a way to change the way the the phone identifies itself, making the baseband flash possible? Again, I'm very new at this (clearly), but I am having a hard time believing there is no way to change the frequency that these modems can accept. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hi
i just recived the note 5, i had a note 3 (for 2 years) before, btw after two years I had to change the battery.
i am afraid because the with the note 5 you can't change battery like the note 3.
I wanted to ask, I can use my charger for note 3 (5.3 v 2.0 amps) to improve the battery life of the 5 notes?

You can use that charger but I doubt it'll improve the battery life.
If you want to keep the battery healthy don't let it discharge all the way. Try to charge it more often and keep it above 30% if you can. The less you let it discharge, the more life you'll get out of if.
The note 5 also uses a li poly battery which is supposed to be more resistant to overcharge.
In saying that all lithium batteries will start to degrade after a couple of years, it's unavoidable. How much more life you get out of it remains to be seen.
Not used to samsung came from htc and more recently oppo phones is there a way to download firmware from sammobile etc to phone and update firmware without odin or in my case heimdall
Have n920i with i think singapore firmware and would rather have the Australian firmware to match my carrier
Hi everyone, I just purchased a galaxy watch 3 from Samsung (US version). I have updated to the latest firmware and connected to Note 20 (US version). I am able to measure ECG from Samsung Health Monitor but no blood pressure anywhere from phone or watch. Do anybody know why ?
Anybody can help ?
Three Options:
1) add BP.. read the forum. There are threads to add BP and Samsung Health Monitor.
2) change your region to Brazil or Korean.. There are threads in the forum to change your region.. Please note you may loose some Samsung Pay capabilities
3) wait for Samsung to add BP.
I think the reason you not getting any input to your inquiry is because there are existing threads.

Hello all!
I recently purchased an unlocked Note 20 Ultra 5G, but it was originally an at&t phone (so I have all of their apps), yet I am using my Verizon sim card in the phone. It functions, I have signal, ect. yet I am missing main features I must have such as wifi calling. Model# is SM-N986U and CSC# is N986UOYN2DUE2. I have searched for the lastest VZN firmware on SAMobile for my specific phone, and am currently waiting for that download to complete. However, do you guys think this download (and upload with Odin) will give me full functionally of a Verizon phone?
And if so, do I need to upload the firmware with my sim card in, or out, of the phone in question?
