My only problem is with blockink mode on S5 (G900H). On the Galaxy S4, blocking mode would stop the stop the notification LED.

Is there a way to change the CSC without triggering Knox? i.e. without root.

I'm on a carrier specific ROM and would like to change to BTU. I think that would work even with the current carrier CSC, but I believe it won't change the CSC and this will stop me getting BTU OTA updates -- is that correct and is there any alternative?

Hey.

A friend of mine just got an S5, but he's got a small problem.

When he listens to music via youtube and then press the lock-phone-button-whatever, it stops. The sound just stops, and I've been sitting with this thing for about an hour, going through all the settings, without results.

So, yeah, he wants youtube to be able to run in the background, music playing, but with the screen locked.

Help? :<

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
1. Try to do the same again: Boot into recovery, wipe data = factory reset and reboot.

2. If that doesn't help, try to flash a stock ROM with Odin to the phone. That should also format/overwrite the system partitions of the phone, where the Samsung (system) apps have stored there data.

Strange ... could only be a kind of anti-theft feature.

Has the former owner of the phone installed/enabled such an anti-theft app/option?

Maybe he has to connect with his Samsung account again, disable this option/app and then remove his account again.

IIRC, the ROM itself is compatible between the two, but the Bootloader/Modem isn't

Other than a normal custom ROM zip flashed from TWRP, such as CM13, I don't think there are any stock MM ports for the G900T yet

The only reason the G900F has them, is because it has been released to a good few regions of the G900F already

You don't lose your data when your root your phone or flash TWRP, and for me the best kernel in Android 5.0 is kt kernel and in 6.0 the stock kernel is working great

No, rooting and flashing TWRP doesn't lose anything

But always a good idea to backup before doing anything like that in case something goes wrong
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdk0117:
Got it, thanks! For the KT Kernel, if she's on stock lollipop, she should use the TouchWiz version, right?

What's a good backup method before root? I was going to use Titanium backup, but I just realized it requires root
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
KIES / Smart Switch claim to be able to do it, but I've had issues with KIES backups in the past

What I mean is, you can reinstall apps, doesn't matter about them, backup your photos and other important stuff in case something goes wrong

Highly unlikely you would lose them, but always better to be safe

Best backup method once you have TWRP is a Nandroid backup of the entire ROM from TWRP

PC Not Connecting without genuine cable

Hey guys,

Thanks in advance, I bought a couple aftermarket cables to connect to PC/charge. When I connect to the PC I receive and error and cannot transfer files etc. With the genuine cable this is fine, I do not have a root or anything on it currently.

Rooting will not delete files, but Custom ROM install will.

I followed a youTube video and factory reset was involved before install.

I'd like to know what's good for battery, too.

Cyanogenmod Release 2015-10-07 isn't great for battery, IMO, but no worse than stock.

SM-G900F turning an app into system

Hello there, I'm in a quite of a dilemma here and I require some assistance. So to save time, I'll write it in short.

I am currently using Samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900F. Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

I am trying to turn an ordinary app into a system application. I am using Lucky patcher to do so to avoid the Enforced problem. That method along with SDFix has worked on Lolipop, but it stopped working on Marshmallow. Currently if I try to make an ordinary application into a system application, it disappears from my phone. The files still exist, but the program icon disappears from the menu and in Application manager it shows that the program is still installed, but can't find the files required to run it. The files usually get stored in Internal storage with an added name for example: com.youtube ; com.mozilla

Any way to fix this? If someone is wondering what applications I want to make as a system, it's xmodgames. It has to be done like that, to avoid the Enforced problem. It has worked perfectly on Kitkat and Lolipop, but it stopped working under Marshmallow.

Extract to .pit and add to PIT section in ODIN 3.10.7

Having issues flashing CM13 to Galaxy S5 (Sprint)

Ok... slightly frustrated here.

Basic issue: Have flashed CM13 (Nightly 5.17.16) along with the latest Gapps. Upon reboot my phone will go to the Cyanagenmod splash screen, appear to load for several seconds, and then restart. It keeps doing this for at least 10 minutes until I turn it off. I have re-flashed a couple times after reloading the backup but no change.

Process I used: First of all my phone already has Android 6.0.1 firmware installed (not sure if that's an issue). I have TWRP setup as recovery and rooted with su 2.52 (and yes I verified the root prior to flashing). To flash I boot into recovery (obviously), factory reset, install cm13, clear dalvik, and repeat process with gapps. I've done this before with older CM's successfully but for some reason I can't get past the CM splash screen.

Any assistance is appreciated. If I have made a completely stupid error in my process or this exact issue is covered in another thread don't hesitate to point that out!!

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
in recovery, flash the ROM, then Gapps immediately after, then wipe cache/dalvik and then finally reboot. See if that changes anything.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smspenc:
Follow up ?

Just to clarify... DO NOT clear cache after flashing CM13, wait until both CM13 and gapps are flashed?

Unfortunately that did not work either.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
Have you verified your ROM download is good? Once that is checked, which gapps are you using?

And yes to your original question, only wipe cache after BOTH rom and gapps flashed.

Clear caches / factory reset
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
well you can verify the ROM download with an MD5 checker - MD5 is listed on site you downloaded the ROM from and the program/app checks the zip/ROM you downloaded has a matching MD5.

I think opengapps caused problems for me when I had my s5. I always used slimgapps or deltadroid gapps. Google search or search in XDA for those links. Good luck!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smspenc:
Excellent idea to check the MD5, it certainly doesn't match. How can that be corrected?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:

Sorry I should have specified. I believe I have a good download now but the boot is still failing.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
Ok. Are you sure you have the correct CM13 ROM for your device? Do you have a backup that successfully works? What were you on prior to trying all this...can't remember now
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smspenc:
Yep, I've got the kltespr so that should be right on target. And fortunately I did make a backup which I have been using extensively. What I'm currently running is android 6.0.1 (rooted w. su 2.52 and twrp 2.8 or 3.0). I currently don't have a custom rom installed. I did previously have 12.1 on there but for some reason when 6.0.1 came out I just flashed the stock 6.0.1 and re-rooted.

OK. here's what I would try again.

download latest nightly from CM13 KLTESPR here LINK

verify good download

download your gapps - personally had great luck with slimgapps. That's what I would try.

Load both onto external or internal SD card

backup everything you want to keep like apps, contacts, etc onto external SD card and/or cloud; i use TiBu with no issues but do what works for you

reboot recovery

wipe system, data, cache, dalvik

then install ROM and gapps right after each other

when successfully flashed both, then wipe cache/dalvik both

then reboot. 1st boot can take up to 10 minutes be patient.

Let me know what happens then. Good luck - hit thanks please!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smspenc:
Unfortunately same results. I actually let it load for about 16 minutes but it just pulls up the cm splash screen, attempts to load for a few seconds, then just restarts the phone. And yes the steps you listed above were followed to the T. As you can see this lends to my original frustration.

Hi everyone, I'm having a very serious issue with my S5 (SM-G900F), for a long time now my microphone volume is extremely low in calls. Microphone works fine in any testing app, voice recording app et.c. but it doesn't work in the dialer app. I have to shout (really loudly) directly at the lower microphone during calls for anyone to hear me at all, even then it's extremely low. This is getting quite frustrating, I have to carry around a headset in case I get important calls.

I read a ton of people having the same issue with the S5, some say that it will get fixed if I poke a small needle into the microphone hole. I, however, am quite sure this wont work since the microphone works just fine in any other app than the dialer app. Calling someone on Whatsapp for example works just fine, same with Facebooks Messenger app and Voice Recorder app. Suggesting that the issue is software related, not hardware related. If there was blockage in the microphone hole, the microphone would have the same poor gain levels in all apps. Not just the dialer one.

When I enter the code *#0283* in the dialer app (microphone testing) the RCV_1stmic and RCV_dualmic (both located at the bottom, possibly the same mic?) works poorly, while SPK_2ndmic (speakerphone) works fine a long with E/P which is headset.

I also read that if you enter *#0*# you get into the service menu in which you can increase the microphone gain levels, but I can't do that because on my ROM because the option simply isn't there.

Thanks in advance for any help given on this subject!

Normally you should not need any kind of MM Bootlader or Modem (at least it didn't used a MM Based Rom who won't start with it)

You should also know that some Roms aren't actually starting on MM Bootloader and Modem.

If you're still wishing to flash these so you may do that by downloading the Bootloader ( http://bit.ly/1ZUujFC ) and the Modem ( http://bit.ly/1UbzKwe ) and install it with Odin by opening the Files as BL and CP and pressing Start!

IMPORTANT: THIS IS FOR G900F DEVICES ONLY! DONT USE RESTART MENUS TO START THE DOWNLOAD MODE OTHERWISE IT WONT TAKE EFFECT! Shutdown your S5 and enter Download Mode by pressing Power + Home + Volume down at the same Time for a couple of secs. Then agree the following Question!

Tell me if you suceeded :)
