Thank you! I am already on the 450MB update, and will be on 4.4.4 in no time.

Does being rooted AT ALL mean you can't take updates? So even if I'm rooted on the stock ROM, I wouldn't be able to update to Lollipop when it comes out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
That's right but it's very easy to Odin to stock again just takes a couple minutes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] penguinzrock:
Alright then! Thank you very much for all your help. :)

I installed this rom and now every time I turn my phone off or it dies I have to input the password to my WiFi and the remote control doesn't work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] maa752009:
I rooted my s5 and my wife's The same way And hers has the custom boot screen when it boots up. I tried to unroot it and root it again and the screen was there on both rooted and unrooted. So I unrooted again and took the 4.4.4 Ota upgrade and it went away the first time I rebooted. But now it's back. Knox shows 0x0 but status is Custom. Any help with this? It's totally unrooted, but on 4.4.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
You'll have to Odin back to stock and then take the update, once the custom lock is displayed it is very dificult to get rid of
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] maa752009:
When you say Odin back, it would be to ND3, right. We got our phones with NG3 already on them But had to Odin back to root. So I would have to do it again and unroot at the ND3 level, right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Odin back to ND3 prior to rooting the device take the OA1 4.4.4 update then follow the lnstructions in the thread below to root your device.

[MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION] it's actually very easy to get rid of just download triangle away 3.26 apk and run it it gets rid of it every time. I've used it on every Galaxy S since the S2 upto and including the S5 and I just used it after taking 4.4.4 update

You can Odin back to NCE and have a complete stock phone no root and ready to take OTA updates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] maa752009:
Do I have to be rooted to use Triangle Away?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
yes you have to be rooted to use triangle away
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
doh!! forgot about triangle away, i never use it because i always mod my roms for device status official so never get the custom screen.

thanks for reminding me :p:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
If you Odin back to NCE you won't have the custom with unlocked pad lock splash screen it will be like brand new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
Hey I have an AT&T s5, but it is unlocked and I am using it for T-Mobile. Which Rom do I use? Sorry, a real noob here. Just rooted.

Also, I see the build.prop for AT&T LTE enables 4gLTE. I am unable to receive 4G LTE for my T-Mobile service, while my girlfriend is able to. (her s5 is from T-Mobile/ Mine isnt). Would I see the same build.prop to Receive 4g LTE for my T-Mobile service?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] xCAVEMANx:
The only ROM you will be able to use are ones that are compatible with AT&Ts kernel...because the bootloaders are locked for the G900A...which is totally different than being SIM unlocked which allows you to put in a SIM for another SP with a compatible network. Also, because the bootloader is locked you can't load a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP or Philz...you can install safestrap but you will need to read up on that. You are limited to touchwiz based ROMs no Cyanogen Mod or any other AOSP ROMs because you can't flash a compatible kernel for those ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
If I use a ROM compatibale with AT&T kernel would you think that would fix my phone not being able to get LTE with T-Mobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Have you tested your download speed? Just because you don't have the LTE icon on your status bar doesn't mean you're not on LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
I just thought about that a few minutes ago. Downloaded speedtest from playmarket and the download was at low 5's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Have you changed your build.prop to make sure your device reflects tmo device?

Download speedtest for the other device and see what the D/L speeds are on it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
Still new to all this rooting stuff.

Ran into someone recalling the build.prop, but the moment I began reading I was lost and needed an adult.

Would there be a specific tutorial on how to make sure my build.prop mirrors tmobiles?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
True if you're not familiar with changing some lines in your build.prop you could possibly screw something up.

It isn't difficult actually you'll need an app such as root Explorer and you'll need to know which lines to change there's 4 that I change. Go here to this thread took me 5 minutes of search

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50948959

---------- Post added at 06:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------

Also I'd download speedtest on the tmo device and check the D/L speeds on that first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
You changed 4? This thread only said to change 2. And when i tried to change it, it says orginal is saved as .bak or something i forgot and then when i reenter the build.prop what i changed reverts back to normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Yes I personally changed 4 on my device but that thread is for tmo

What app did you use to try and change the lines? Did you try speedtest on the other tmo device? See what speeds it gives you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
App used: Explorer, because root explorer needs to be bought. The other device is still just as fast. And nothing as changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Still just as fast as what? Rom tool box lite is a good app as well and has a good build.prop editor I've used it a lot before I bought Root Explorer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
I downloaded root browser. The editing saved the buildprop but ive tried multiple combinations from the link you provided and still nothing. The speed is still the same as before even changing the props.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
What is the speed on your girlfriend tmo s5?

I'm going to assume you've manually input the tmo apns right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
The orignal APN for my phone did not have LTE in the apn settings. It had epc.tmobile.com and stuff.

So I just mirrored all of my GF's Apn settings onto mine. I couldn't change Protocols though.

I'm not able to check my Gf's speed atm, but when i was stock i was at 5mbps and im still at the same speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
So if you go to settings and about phone does it show G900T?instead of G900A?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
Don't forget that a G900A does not have all the TMO LTE Frequencies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
So if you go to settings and about phone does it show G900T?instead of G900A?

I've been reading just that in the tmo threads

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

My next suggestion is to wait til you can run a speedtest on g/f tmo device and also copy the build.prop from her device.

Scroll down to troubleshooting and download the Downgrade to NCE tar to your computer open Odin 3.09

Place phone in download and plug in

Flash the Downgrade to NCE tar in the AP slot let it totally reboot and you'll be back to bone stock NCE.

In the same thread you'll see the update to NG3 file download that and place it on your ex SD card on your then just follow all the steps in that thread.

Afterwards you'll have a rooted device on NG3

I've found its easier just to download the NCE to NG3 update and place it on ex SD card then go to stock recovery and scroll down to install from ex SD and do it that way. Takes about 5 minutes. I'm here if you get stuck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ippolito1971:
So put the tar file there or the zip that's in the thread? Tar file is really large so don't wanna take up that much space.

See where it says NCE to NG3 OTA? Download that and put it in your ex SD card then boot to stock recovery and scroll down to where it says install from ex SD card select it then go to where you that file select that then install

How do you sideload update from ext SD? If that's the case can't you just flash a rom from stock recovery?

LG G3 SkyDragon LP 3.01
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
No you cannot flash from stock recovery.

Start at NCE stock and follow the steps exactly.

When you boot into stock recovery all you have to do is scroll down to where it says install from ex sd card. Select that option and go to where you stored the NCE to NG3 Update and select that.

You don't need to install Safestrap to the very end of the process

Follow these steps except the very first one. That's where you'll install the NCE to NG3 OTA zip you've stored in ex sd card
