Yes, it also has other languages. You can change it from setting-“Language and input

Yes it will work but you lost root access after that.
Will it work with other s5 sm 900f variants?I am using the south African one?

Is it normal for it to be stuck on the Samsung logo when it boots up?
did it happen to u? what did u end up doing?
Will this work for the AT&T model or is it only for the 800F series?
Downloaded firmware for SM-G9008W from the provided link and went thru the update successfully using ODIN, however once rebooted the phone, got unstopped prompt “Unfortunately , Google Play Services has stopped”.
Had to uninstall many apps as they stop working / missing files. Also lost GMAIL account and could not log to GMAIL again due to the error prompt above. Powered off and on the device several times to no avail, also uninstalled and installed Google Services and Google Play Store by downloading the latest file. Any ideas?
Thank you.
