so i apparently forgot to freeze ATT OTA update and i now have an update downloaded and ready to install. i assume that would be a bad thing to do. i don't want to lose root and honestly don't have time to mess with my phone this week. is there anyway to cancel the update so i can then freeze the updater?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnsteve83:
my g900a says it's rooted but can't find cwm for it

I'm a noobie and have no idea what I'm doing but I followed a post and flashed phone with downgrade used towlroot upgrade back to 4.4.4 and installed superuser then went to recovery and it's not the do I need to do that my phone stats say custom and I've downloaded root apps but I'm afraid to run them with out doing all the step phone is running fine I'm using it now to post this what should I do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ippolito1971:
The custom is an issue. Your recovery won't install the rom now. I tried and had the same issue. How I got around it is flashed the original stock base which the link is posted in this thread above. Took the first update. Then rooted. Then supersu then recovery then magic :) . 4.4.4 is horrible IMO and slows down the phone so I chose to stay 4.4.2 and it flies. Battery is pretty food with Greenify and DS. If you need help me know cause I just went thru all this and know it pretty well now lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnsteve83:
So just flash it with the first version I got and do the root and super thereally and stay on the version do I need to stop updates beforehand
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ippolito1971:
the custom unlocked pad lock is an easy fix

Now if you want to stay on NG3 follow the first thread to root just follow instructions exactly it's pretty straightforward.

Once you get it rooted I'll show you one simple step to get rid of that unlocked pad lock splash screen that'll be the easiest thing so far.

Just read and follow the instructions you're past the hard part and this first time should take no longer than 15 minutes

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2862299

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

I hope you're using this thread

so....after all that yes I got rooted and custom lock away BUT now I cannot for the life of me get the recovery installed and booting up...have no odea what the heck is wrong but it is likking me LOL...I really want a stock debloated rom on here...keep getting update notifcations from AT&T but obviously when I go thru the process it just boots and says it won't update.....I like the 4.4.2 and want to stay there with Visix but like I said I can't get the recovery working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnsteve83:
My phone says it has root and Stat is custom I was wondering if I have to do the recovery or Wil it be fine without it I'm running some root apps no I just have done anything I didn't want to brick it or trip Knox as of no its not tripped
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ippolito1971:
The custom lock is bad. You don't want that IF your phone shows the custom word on boot you don't want that. It should show Samsung only. If you have that and the recovery installed your gold and can flash a rom no problem.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

you won't trip knox but the custom lock on boot is not good if you want to install the custom recovery and flash rom's because it won't work in that state. You have to get a clean root going. Meaning get rooted without the custom lock on boot. If that is what you mean. Phone may not work as well either as when I rooted the first 3 times (not kidding) I tripped the custom lock repetitively but finally got it all done without the custom lock. There is a fast way to get rid of it though. [MENTION=5072378]OPOfreak[/MENTION] is really good and he can guide you better then me in most cases as he was the one that got me going also. I just cannot get the custom recovery installed on mine without getting that annoying custom lock on boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnsteve83:
I got a message from him said he would get back to me he is busy for a few days but he seemed real surprised I got root just from flashing it twice I told him I had know idea what I did real but every things cool other then it says custom in the about device and when I shut it off and back on it had an open padlock under the Samsung logo I got got root checker running and bb root fire wall took att crapp off and other stuff I don't use freed a bunch of space up runs good and the Knox Counter is still 0x0 it just shows that lock and says custom in about device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ippolito1971:
[MENTION=5072378]OPOfreak[/MENTION] will get you you right. Sounds like your Knox is tripped. Don't think it should be 0. Also know for a fact your custom screen is not good On boot. He will help you fix it. He helped me a lot. Good luck!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Just because you have the unlocked padlock custom splash screen doesn't mean you've tripped knox.

Go to this thread and download triangle away 3.26 apk and install it the follow the prompts.

In the Triangle Away OP it doesn't say anything about S5 being supported but I've used it on every Galaxy S since the S2 upto and including the S5 and it will clear your custom padlock screen

Sorry couldn't remember the apk but remember you helping me get it off. Didn't mean to scare anyone just know the custom screen isn't good. Now why when I install the custom recovery does it freeze??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
Why does what freeze?

The custom unlocked pad lock isn't serious at all actually
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ippolito1971:
When I install the custom recovery the phone so t fully boot. As soon as I install the recovery it'll start booting, get to the samsung with padlock and hang. Presently I have root, supersu, and that's it. The phone boots now with no prob and I'm fine just can't install safestrap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Where have the mass problems with root and safe strap come from? The S5 has been solid since day one, the forums are full of instructions and information. I'm just a little more than confused by all the problems I'm seeing pop up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ippolito1971:
There aren't problems. For people who aren't familiar with Samsung root it really isn't easy. Compared to my LG G3 it's very different. In fact IMO Samsung is a different language. My wife has the S5 and when AT&T pushed 4.4 4 it crippled her phone so I flashed the stock firmware and rooted it. I just can't get the safestrap installed and booting to get a custom rom installed. I have no idea why as I followed the procedure to the letter.

Make sure you have busybox installed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stickman1981:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
If you already have root (by any method) it doesn't matter what version you have you can flash ROMS using Flashfire from Chainfire, multirom or safestrap. the caviat is that if you want to flash a 5.0 rom you have a few extra steps first but as long as you read thru the developers instructions and follow them verbatim you will not have any issues.

Greetings. I've been running both TMS5 and Twi5ted Roms for a while (Android 5.0) on my rooted G900A (It's unlocked, and I'm now using Ting, which uses TMobile's network). I've had on-going annoying issues with both. TMS5 freezes quite often, and Twi5ted will randomly reboot. Is there a way to install (Odin) a stock Rom (i.e. from here) and stay rooted, or install one and re-root? If so, could I install the 5.1.1 version or stay on 5.0? I just realized as well that, with Twi5ted being based on TMobile, it shows my model number as G900T vs. the original G900A. Thanks.

Say it isn't so

So i was enjoying cm13 marshmallow 6.0.1 on My 4-year old Canadian galaxy S3 SGH-T999V on Videotron ... when it lost imei

I purchased a galaxy s5 ... it is an att SM-G900A

Android 4.4.4

Baseband G900AUCU2AOA2

It is running perfectly with my videotron lte sim card on the videotron network in Canada

So there is no twrp for this model ??

I don't want to root it (TouchWiz), I just want to flash twrp and cm13 and then superSu

Another question..

Since the hardware in all USA and Canada variants are essentially the same ...

And all Canadian carriers have one model SM-G900W8 which works on both att-like and tmobile-like networks ..

Could I just flash the SM-G900W8 firmware for videotron on this device ??

Thanks in advance for any help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
The G900A has a locked bootloader. You won't be able to install cm roms, only Touchwiz-based Roms that can be found here. You have to root and install Safestrap to get a TWRP-like recovery. You can also use Flashfire. Your options for custom Roms are severely limited on that device, however. If you want to stay on 4x you might take a look at Xtreme Dynamic Kat. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Correct .had to have had oc1 or lower bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cLogic:
since the devices are basically the same hardware .. is it not possible to flash the canadian SM-900W8 firmware on the SM-900A ??

I would think that they have the same partition pit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ted77usa:
No you cant.... u need to unlock bootloader first before you can flash any others firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cLogic:
I hear you .. however ..

when the 900A gets an ota update, or you update via kies .. doesn't the bootloader show the new version? ie new baseband version should match bootloader version

so doesn't this mean that the bootloader IS being modified?

likewise, if you use Odin to flash back to some previous/main stock firmware, isn't the bootloader changed as well and again reflects the version?

if these are true .. then I am saying that I don't wanna try to unlock or modify the bootloader, I wanna replace it along with the rest of the firmware with the SM900W8 stuff

I would think that if I used Odin with firmware in pda/ap section and pit file in pit section, then the device should "become" a SM-900W8 with csc = vtr (videotron)

does this only make sense in My head? lol

am I completely missing something?

thanks for your time and patience
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ted77usa:
So when u got OTA update meaning all firmware got updated including BL. So that being said locked BL meaning bootloader check samsung system official firmware for a your device 900A and the reason was locked because of AT&T requested to samsung to create special ATT bootloader to check your device before u can flash or Odin other firmware or others S5 variant.... u can try but as far as I know...u would bricked... and that's not recommended..... unless there is new exploit to unlocked BL first then u could flash other firmware. It been a while since I have my s5 .... I could be wrong but when new tool come to unlock BL for ATT that's most likely something big and mostly all over xda.
