Hei all,
I bought my phone off ebay without realizing that there are different models for different markets. However inside the battery case the model number is SM-G900A. Since I off course wanted the latest android version that my wife has on her G900F I went about googling for a solution. After lots of tries and lots of failures, I eventually managed to root my phone with towelroot. I went on to flash a G900V firmware onto my phone (Don't ask why). Now I have a G900V baseband, bootloader and rom entirely. I then went on to update OTA to end up with Android 6.0.1 version only to realize that it cannot be rooted yet. I then went back to 5.0 in order to root and to install custom Twrp 3.0.2.2 recovery and unlock the bootloader to developer mode using sambootloader unlocker.
My question is this: How the h... was I able to transform my G900A to a G900V model to begin with. This is over a year ago, and I cannot remember how I went about it. What I do remember is that I used ODIN, with a G900V pit file and did a complete wipe checking repartition, nand erase all, phone efs clear, and bootloader update.
Now my follow up question is this: If it was possible to "transform" my G900A into G900V, would it be possible to "transform" it into a G900F model given that the hardware on the phone is identical ? I mean what is it that makes the phone a G900V, G900F, G900A model in the first place ?
Would it be possible to completely repartition the internal memory of the phone and flash a complete G900F package with bootloader, recovery, system, modems etc ?
If you are inclined to answer this with a short no, then please be so kind to explain why my phone now only accepts G900V firmware ?
