Yes,you should be able to no problem. Just don't blame me if I'm wrong and you brick it
You are right they are the same basically,just for different regions I believe. Look into it some more before flashing ROMS though. Don't just take my word on it.

Oops, I was thinking of the G800H model. Sorry, my mistake.
Both the F and M are basically the same, but different regions.

Sup mate, sorry I know its been a year but I got in my hands a S800M and I want to root it but cant find any roots for Model M only.
Did you try flashing Roms from the F into the M?

in short, you can not install a rom stock from a g800m to a g800f, but if you can a lineage os (for example) created for the g800m model for the g800f model

Thanks for the reply Jimmy! The problem is the custom roms are "G800F/M/Y" there isn't an specific M version, it is a generic custom rom for F/M/Y. (I tried some of them and still detects it as 'F')
Using a G800M stock rom, I generated a TWRP flasheable file with Assayyed Kitchen, it worked, but the IMEI is gone and there is no signal at all (SIM not detected)
From what I've read, think I should have to flash bootloader and modem too, but Odin won't allow me that...

to create a rom with Assayyed Kitchen you need the stock of your device, I personally do not recommend it, I created a rom like that but the wifi was not activated

From my experience on my G800Y, I had no problem with any G800F rom, I even flashed the G800F firmware with no issues whatoever.
(What I suffered is from wifi issues and battery drainage on standby, but could well be the rom issue... Lineage 14.1).
Pd: What I did to flash the G800F was just using the AP only, I did nothing else, I was flashing a marshmallow rom, but didn't touched the bootloader, just left it at the lollipop one.

Thanks for sharing that info!
After flashing, could you unlock new LTE (4g) bands from your zone/region?
Also, if you go to "about phone" in "baseband version" does it changed from G800Y to G800F?

I don't know if it unlocks more bands (I'm not sure if you can do it by just flashing).

Hi. I'm currently on CM12 and I have been facing this problem(?) for a while now. Back when I was on stock 4.4.2, most of the time my phone is stuck on EDGE when I'm using my primary sim card (network A). In order to get 3G/4G signal, I have to explicitly choose a network operator. After a while, it reverts back to EDGE so I have to do that again. However, using my other sim (network B) doesn't have this problem. Now that I'm on CM12, I'm still facing the same issue. I can't use that fix since I think there's a problem with the rom itself when choosing the network. I'm thinking either this is a network error or a problem with the modem itself. I'm currently on NF1 and I'm wondering how to upgrade my modem to the latest one. Thanks!
Why switch modem if you think it's an issue with ROM?
Prerequisites to CM say nothing which modem you must have or that any of them are not good. CM don't change either bootloader, GSM or LTE modem.
CM provide RIL to communicate with modems.
QualComm based CM hasn't been able to manually search carrier since Aug 2014 https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4902 and perhaps the decision to de-unify S4 CM can resolve this for Lollipop within a time frame of 3 months. [emoji12]
Please inform if you can find any chance log of what's fixed for different modem versions.

As I've said, this issue is also present when I was still on touchwiz/stock rom. And as you said, CM doesn't change the modem so the issue might be with the modem itself so I'm planning on upgrading to the latest one. Problem is, I don't know how to.
Just to be clear, I'm on EDGE most of the time on Network A on both CM12 and stock touchwiz rom. On Network B, I normally get HSPA+.

You should use the modem based on the country that you are using the phone as the bands available in each country and those included in the modem differ else you may have network issues, for more info refer to this post

Thank you! One question though, should I flash NI1_AUT_wifi_150107.zip as well? I'm not sure if that only applies if I'm on the WizCyan rom.
Just in case something wrong happens, if I go back to the stock rom using odin, will it revert back to the original modem?

Yes, the zip file applies to WizCyan ROM.
If you flash firmware the modem is included so yes it will revert to the modem in the firmware

Thank you so much! Will update if it works.
Edit: Successfully flashed the modem but I'm still stuck on EDGE. Oh well. At this point I don't what's the problem; is it my phone or the network?
So I managed to make it work by fiddling with the APN.
Hello,
I am running CM12.1 on my device at the moment but sadly my WiFi issue still persists.
I want to return to 100% stock lollipop (or any other if available).
I want to flash the whole device completely. Like delete every possible file and driver and install everything back.
How do I achieve this?
I don't see any stock lollipop images lying around this forum.
Bump!
I would like to do this not before giving it to the services station.

Root and firmware are 2 different things.
All that is required for the root exploit to work is that the kernel it uses is bootable and can mount the partitions.
Considering these devices are essentially the same, as long as it flashes and boots it should work.
The point is moot anyway as it's already confirmed to work.

Is there a specific root dedicated only to 815Y device?
I used the method specified here to root on my SM-T815Y device (Made in Brazil). While Odin has shown that everything had gone well and without fail, my tablet came into infinite boot (soft brick).
I've seen here that some people managed to root their "Y" devices, but personally don't know if they are equal in all locations where they are produced
Apparently the "Y" makes all the difference. Is there a specific root dedicated only to 815Y device? If there, would be grateful to know. Tks

There aren't any fully working 5.0.1 ROMs for this phone. There is one in this thread, but it breaks camera as far as I understand:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/golden-eye-v52-s4-active-wip-t3094259
Also thanks to the stupid locked bootloader, any rom for this phone has to be touchwiz-based (i.e. able to run on the stock kernel). No custom recovery, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP. But yeah, like that thread says, even the 5.0.1 touchwiz ROMs seem to break the camera when installed on this phone

It is a touchwiz ROM with S6 port and it should work with your stock kernel, however to get wifi working you will need to have matching modems, kernel and files from /system/etc/wifi of the same firmware
let me look and see if anyone has these matching drivers per say for the hardware on here i think i saw someone posted it awhile back for my device thx

Have you disabled signature verification (not sure if this option is available in flashfire - assuming that you are using flashfire to flash the ROM)
I did some checking on AT&T models and I was quite surprised that S4 AT&T (i337) users are using my WizCyan ROM for S4 on their device with the imperium kernel without any issues. If that is the case, I cannot see any reason why my ROM will not work on your device. I have my own kernel compiled from I9295 TW kernel sources with almost the same commits as the imperium kernel (there are previous ported versions of imperium kernel on my kernel thread as well) included in the ROM.
I don't know if I am missing something....
Since my bootloader is locked i cannot add toggle signature verification sorry to troll a old phone but my s6 edge plus is broke and dont have the money now to replace it but i appreciate all your guys help ....i have used flashfire and dont see a option to turn off sig verification either wish i could then perhaps it would work...btw my model is atat i537 so maybe the i337 works but mine dont not sure why

I have been searching for a clear answer but couldn't find any.
I am looking for guides and information about how I could possibly install a fresh, stock, "vanilla" version on my Note 8 N950N.
mine is the korean 256GB variant. I can't replace it and i wanted to get the 256GB variant anyway.
but some bloatware and also a few minor annoying "bugs" that are in the korean software is really disturbing me. it gets all confused because i am not really in/from korea. i get plenty of korean marketing **** and more...
I would like to have an international version. have it work seamlessly with my local networks, and also when i go abroad (i will be going to the USA in april).
Preferably i would like to get the Stock version, without rooting anything.
but if i have no choice i would install a custom rom which is the "cleanest" and the one most similar to stock.
please, can anyone write down clearly what are the steps I should do. I would be really thankful.
By the way, if it matters, I live in israel (if need to install a software or modem which are compatible.)
please, help!
thank you very much
Alon

thanks for the reply. could you please explain why will rooting help me? will it allow me to install a clean stock version without the Korean bloatware?

Because you can't install F fw on a N without rooting, odin will not let you.
If you don't care about Samsung Pay or Secure Folder, twrp/root & install any custom F based rom you want. Or with root you can remove all the bloatware from your stock fw that you want. Or you can install Weta Rom base only. Weta Rom has the mod installer seperate so if you just want a stock unbloated rom Weta base would be a good choice. Weta is by far my favorite ROM so far & is what I have been running....with the Weta mod though.

Thank you,
I actually don't mind about Samsung Pay. it's not being used in Israel anyway, and what is Secure Folder? i didn't know about it also anyway so i guess it wouldnt bother me.
So what is the process step by step?
1. Root phone.
2. then?
is it possible to root the phone and then install a stock firmware of an F variant? i am not interested in having a custom rom anyway...

I will read further on those links.
a question. Is it possible to install TWRP, then change CSC and then flash a stock ROM of the N950F variant? or will the device react badly for it?
thank you.

you can flash a stockish F rom if it is in zip install format for twrp. you cannot flash a stock F firmware in odin to a N device
okay... thanks

Hey man, I tried doing exactly this on my 256GB SM-N950N with @_alexndr's DevBase ROM for the SM-N950F as you linked to above. Skipped the model check, however, I keep getting an error message during the installation process. @_alexndr stated, here in that his DevBase thread, that flashing the SM-N950F ROM on the SM-N950N isn't that straight forward due to different system partition size.
Please would you happen to know of the proper procedure to resizing my SM-N950N partitions so that I can flash the latest SM-N950F Oreo (don't like Android pie) DevBase ROM on it? Thanks in advance.

No, that's still Korean. I'm looking to install the unlocked and unbranded UK CSC on my SM-N950N. However, doing that breaks Bixby and other region-locked Samsung services as they detect my model number isn't in the region. So, I figured installing the SM-N950F ROM would resolve the region locking issue. Similar to how Tkkg1994's Iron Man ROM did it.

Iron man ROM stopped getting updates/troubleshooting a while back, before my Note 8 was even 1 year old.

i believe by debloating a bit, the total amount of data written to the system partition was reduced to accommodate the N devices. or by pure fluke, maybe dev never intended to reduce data just for the N but just by removing some knox stuff and other unneeded stuff when rooted.

Bixby settings are in the CSC config - unrelated to model.

But if I change the CSC to the UK unlocked and unbranded, Bixby starts saying "Ok, I canceled it" to every single 1 of my commands.
Whereas with the Iron Man ROM, which virtually changed my device model number to SM-N950F, and the same UK CSC, everything worked fine. Unfortunately, it's development came to an end long before my Note 8 was even 1 years old.

So you're applying the same CSC patch to both ROMs? Or you mean that a CSC with the same name in Iron Man ROM and in a separate CSC zip behave differently?
My phone is running stock N950N base, with my USA T-mobile CSC patch and Bixby works correctly for a USA Tmobile phone because all its settings are in the CSC config files.

I used Tkkg1994's CSC changer ZIP file in both cases. How did you go about doing your CSC change? If I can simply change to UK unlocked and unbranded CSC while keeping Bixby and every other Samsung service working as normal, I'll be fine with that.
