[Q] Is CWM phone model specific? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey xda community
I want to get an upgrade from my galaxy S i9000.
So I'm thinking of buying a Newman N2 China Phone.
I've found a bunch of really good custom Roms for that phone.
But the only problem is, they require CWM to be flashed.
I can't find a Newman N2 specific CWM package.
So can i flash just any of them?
Please help

I would not do it unless you want to brick your phone. The difference is the processor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1346 go there to find your rom. Good Luck!

there are no roms for you because there are maybe a total of 3 guys on here with a Korean note. All came. posted the same question once. everyone said don't do it. they never posted again.
you are better off swapping it for a i717 or N7000 if you want to mod it. flashing a Rom made for any other device than YOURS is asking for a brick.
when you say useful answers, do you mean until someone tells you what you want to hear?
there are reasons your model number is completely different. its not only cosmetic.
to my knowledge, only one person said he would take a bullet and flash it anyways, and to hell with the consequences. He has not reported back...yet.
I, for one, would not risk a $600 device on a gamble.
What I meant by useful answer is ; a person answering or writing some info who knows this business and can give a detailed answer regarding the flashing . Because a person who works with these kind of devices would know if the device has exactly the same specs or not and if it would be safe to flash by looking at the specs sheet . Or at least he would have an idea about it... Additionally they might have a friend who has done something like this in the past with different devices... I am sure there are a lot more people who has this korean version but they dont feel encouraged to try anything or even open a thread because of the answers like this. I am pretty sure there are Koreans reading these posts too so they might have something to share. All I am trying to say is because this device costs 1200$ in my country I bought it from Korea for 550$ while I had the chance. And just wanted to see if there are solutions for some questions regarding korean version of this model .
But thx for your reply anyways...

[Q] i9300 & i9300t ??

Hey guys I live in New Zealand and I recently bought myself a Galaxy S3, only to find that it wasnt an i9300 but an i9300t.. and I am unsure as to whether its safe for me to flash Cyanogenmod to it.. i've already rooted and installed TWRP on it but im just not sure if itll be compatible..
Ive done plenty of research online about this but some say it will work and some say it wont.
I just need a straight answer for myself!
thanks guys :good:

It's Possible... They have really little difference but you may have a little bugs and unstabilty...
I am also from nz and have the T version. Installing CM and other 9300 roms will be fine.
The only diff is that the T is tuned to favour the 850mhz band

[Q] Need help with flashing the right rom on my device

Good day everyone
I have decided to root my S3 and flash a custom rom of android 4.4.2 on it. Now, i've flashed roms before but what i dont remember and need help with is the difference between the roms and which one is the right one for my device and the carrier i'm with.
I got my S3 from Vodafone Australia. If i remember correctly flashing a rom designed for different radio kernels (i think thats what it was) will brick the phone. is this right? if so could someone please tell me how to find the right rom?
I tried to search and find my answer in forums but couldn't find anything, so any help would be highly appreciated!

you can brick your device only when you flash a rom which is not made for your device...
first confirm that your device is gt i9300
then you can try out any rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development
just find the rom that suit you and read the instructions before installing anything..
for ex for 4.4.2 roms you have to update your recovery to the latest cwm or twrp..
When you flash do not allow the rom to update the radio, otherwise you will lose network connection. Search and read in general forum for Australian S3 discussion.

Samsung S7390

Hi All,
I'm Jack Droid and I'm a new member.
I have a Samsung Smartphone model S7390.
Surfing into the internet, I understood that the android development for this device is not so interesting.
Maybe because that device is not so appreciated but anyway, I have this model!
Moreover, I did the root and I found an CWM recovery that it's ok for it but what I have never found, is a custom rom.
My question is : do you know if exist a device that could be very similar to Trend Lite S7390 so that I can use a rom for that and try to flash into my device ?
Many thansk for your attention and waiting for your kind reply.
All the best
