The way I understand it is that each variant of the S5 has specific bootloaders and modems. However, the ROMs can be used from different versions.
Check out this forum for more info on the international ROMs that are available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5

There is lots of stuff at that link, and before I would flash another phone's software to my phone, I would do lots of reading. It's what I did before I did any flashing to any of my phones.
I don't believe you can use a BL and modem from a phone that IS NOT a 900T to a 900T. However, you can try it. I would do a full NAND backup using TWRP or CWM or something before I would try to use firmware from another mode.
I have a 900T3 - and flashing the 900T firmware caused a bootloop on my phone. However, flashing the 900T3 fixed it.
However, hopefully someone here - or on that other forum - may have more knowledge.
There should be no problem flashing just the ROM, but firmware is made up of a partition table, bootloader, modems and the ROM.

It's not misleading, the firmware can be flashed on either version and it is official firmware. Further no one has posted the full version (includes HOME_CSC and USERDATA) for download until now. What's your beef?

The ARF5 Isn't official, at least not yet. If you use apps like SamsungPay that rely on safety net, you're best off not to use that version, at least until or if it becomes official.

Gotcha!
Also, in the OP you could help clarify what the other guy was talking about by stating that this firmware is US Xfinty which is a Verizon MVNO. I think thats what the other guy may have meant. When you look at the OP quickly you do get the impression that this may be for the unlocked U1. But eitherway... Thanks for posting it! Much better than trying to download from SamMobile!!!

The reason I say it *was* misleading is because the title made it seem like there was a U1 version of the 2ARF2 release. While I'm not in that boat, there are people looking to swap carriers, which requires flashing to the U1 to remove carrier settings, before then flashing to a new carrier.

Samsung Pay does usually work on the unoffial / pre-release releases. Samsung Pay only relies on Knox.

The reason why it is failing is because you are on a high boot loader, you current on V3 while the U1 firmware that you was trying to flash is on V2.. You can only flash firmware that's on the same boot loader.
You would need to download G965U1UEU3ARG7 and flash it in order to be on the U1 firmware...

I don't believe the ARG7 for the U1 hasn't been released yet. I'm still on ARF4, I haven't gotten any updates for ARG7 yet.
But you can get the firmware using the link below when it becomes available. It's the same one I used.

To be honest it takes as long as it takes... Though for the U1 firmware it does appear to be the last one released after the carriers.
I would imagine that before they release a firmware that covers all the carriers they want to make sure it works for the individual carriers... But that's a theory/speculation I have.

First time I have ever heard of a Sprint Lease Lock.. Now I am curious over what that is, so off to google searching for it.
Think I found what your talking about... I am not sure if flashing the U1 firmware will work in this case given it's an S9+ and not an S8. Hopefully it does when the appropriate U1 firmware is released.
Depending on where you got the phones from maybe try doing a return and get a refund?

No biggie... Just for clarification (if it helps in the future) you can only flash files with the same bootloader version as what is currently installed. You can also flash bootloader versions that are higher then what is currently installed on the device.
What you can not do is flash bootloader versions lower then what is currently installed.
Finding the bootloader version is easy once you know how. Using the firmware version indicated:
G965USQU3ARG7
The bootloader version is the number before the last 4 characters of the firmware version... In this your looking for the number before ARG7... Since the number is 3 it means this firmware uses the version 3 bootloader.

To carrier switch you would need to flash the U1 firmware, then insert the carrier of your choice [not Sprint] then set up device, after download the latest U firmware which is 3SARI4 and flash it.
Do not flash the USERDATA unless it is for the carrier you switching to

We're adding a line on our Verizon account with an S9+ that was on Canada's freedom mobile network.
