sm900t - Soft brick?

Edit: After letting this sit, I came back and found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400

I'm going to attempt to flash the 0B1 firmware w/ Odin.

/edit

I have a tmobile s5 which is running 0B1 firmware via Kies. I attempted to obtain root via method 1 found here:

http://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s5/

I.e., I flashed "philz_touch_6.26.2-klte.tar" with Odin3v185 sucessfully. From there, I used Phil'z to flash "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip"

On reboot,Super SU gave error along the lines of "no binaries installed--bad day for u"

I tried several times to reflash the SU .zip, I did a few resets, to the effect that Phil'z quit working, and the device would not boot properly. (Hangs on boot screen, sys crashed once, custom recovery disappeared, and never completely booted again. )

So, today I tried the Phil'z tar again with Odin v3.09. I have the custom recovery again, but I can't boot past the Samsung logo screen.

I haven't been able to find a complete tar with the 0B1 firmware. One helpful member posted a collection of files along with an ominous warning about flashing the full firmware..

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/odin-t3038413

Can anyone suggest a move forward? As it stands, I can enter DL mode and custom recovery pretty reliably. That's about it, though.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there. I have a buddy who took OA8 OTA on a stock Verizon S5: SM-G900V. Apparently OA8 cannot be rooted. Can we just Odin downgrade his stock, non-rooted phone to NCG?

Surprisingly enough I could not find this issue when using the search function. (maybe it is my search capabilities ;) )

Just started using my S5 last week. Now when I touch the home button I get the message to use touchwiz-start.

When I press always (picture says "altijd") it looks like it does not safe.

It works for an hour or so, and then it is reset so I get this message again.

Searching for this it looks like a lot of people have this issue, but I do not see a working resolution.

Hi Guys,

I have rooted 4.4.2 G900F (factory unlocked), done through flashing with odin 3.07

My question here, how can I know which is latest version? Is there thread or website for latest firmware releases for S5?

And how can I go to lollipop 5.0 or 5.0.1 without losing my data? I know I might lose root!!

OTA updates says use kies coz the OS is modified in unauthorized way!

Thank you guys!

Failing reboot for G900FD

I'm having a G900FD with an AT&T and Vodafone SIM cards. It's an UAE version which I flashed to an official Russian Lollipop via Odin some time ago, and updated to G900FDXXU1BOC1 last week via wifi. I'm using the swipe as a screen lock.

This morning, I restarted the phone as it was getting overheated and sluggish. It was booting normally, however it ended up in a weird state where:

- all I see is a status bar, the rest of screen is black

- I can scroll down the Toolbox, but can't launch the Settings

- the only apps I was able to launch (from the Toolbox) are: S Finder, Quick connect, and Car Mode

- I'm able to switch on/off most of the Toolbox tools (wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, etc.), but not get into their settings (holding the tool icon)

- I'm receiving the notifications of incoming text messages, emails, etc., but I'm not able to launch the relevant apps

- I'm able to receive the calls (a standard screen with caller details pops up)

- the power button and home button wake up the screen (without a request for the swipe pattern to unlock); there's no haptic feedback to the Back and Recent apps buttons

I tried to reboot/restart the device, unplug the battery, take out the SIM cards, wipe out the cache partition from the recovery mode, but nothing helps.

Is there anything I can do before trying the full factory reset (which I'm really not keen of) :confused:

I used latest TWRP recovery to create a nandroid backup of my rooted KK ROM. Link to the thread with the download link to the recovery I'm using is in my signature.

Then I flashed the LP ROM I wanted non-wipe (without wiping data). Fortunately I had no issues.

If you experience issues after flashing the LP ROM, you may have to wipe data/do a factory reset.

You can backup all your apps and app data with Titanium Backup. So you can restore these even after wiping data/doing a factory reset.

Noob Qs for CM on G900F (and a few other Qs!)

**********************Noob posted this in the wrong place so noob has copied it here. Hopefully noob can delete original post, ahem**********************

Hello All,

I must first apologise for my noobiness as I'm still finding my way around.

Anyway I have a new G900F S5 and I can't stand touch wiz.

Coming from an S2 with CM 10.2 which I LOVE!

I guess no CM 10.2 on the S5 which is a shame IMO as that would be sweet (I don't like what they've done to the settings key nor the settings in general on KitKat).

There is so much to trawl through here , but basically what I would like to know is:

1) How where can I find a 'relatively' stable CM build to use as my daily? I see that it is unlikely to be 'released' for the S5 which is a shame but taking nightlies seems risky so can anyone recommend a good nightly please?

2) Does the CM stock browser have the quick controls? I REALLY MISS THEM! Browsing sucks without these especially one handed in an S5.

3) Can I revert the settings key on the S5 with CM?

4) I love the cyan colour on the settings drop down bar thing (not sure of the name). Can I put these on if I go to CM? This was OOTB on CM 10.2

5) WTF is Knox? Do I need to worry?

6) Does anyone else miss CM 10.2 and how hard would it be to port this to the S5? I don't mind putting some cash in for this. Personally I'd pay a few quid for this out and about if it was possible (maybe in asia? They have this kind of thing).

Thanks in advance and my apologies if these are stupid questions but I get so lost navigating around here as all the info is so spread out I end up reading for hours and not really knowing what to do.

Oh one more Q:

7) How does stock TW compare to say Alliance (bearing in mind I really do like CM)?

Thanks to anyone taking time to reply.

Galaxy S5 Sim unlock test MODEL SM-G900W8

I had used a method that was used to unlock Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for my Galaxy S5 on 4.4.2. I used an app called SSU.apk it patched successfully but I'm not sure if it just messed up the Perso apk or what happened exactly. Before the Network Lock screenshot would say if it was locked or not and now it has changed. I will post a forum if I can as I lost my old account info. I've been trying to work on unlocking the phone for the last couple days now as I found a work around for the Note 2 making it also work with Wind Mobile with a custom Modem change.

That's very good! So how can I restore the image or the same data and setting on my current rom when I go on 5.0? Do I need to root it before I'm able to restore all the information? And in case of wipe/factory reset, is Titanium backup is the best tool for restoring everything?

Thanks buddy
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Yes, to restore a nandroid backup, you need to have a custom recovery ... optimically the same with which you have created the nandroid backup.

Keep in mind that you select to restore only the data partition, else the complete previous system will be restored.

As I am only using Titanium Backup for app backup, I can only tell about this app. But there are alternative apps available (such as Helium Backup, which has less features but does not need a rooted device).

TB needs root access, so you will have to root your Lollipop ROM before using TB for restoring the user apps with app data.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamaznX:
My S5 is currently on the NK2 firmware. I'd like to install TWRP, root and then install a custom Lollipop ROM.

-Can I do this and install a Touchwiz based ROM without tripping knox?

-Can I do this and install an AOSP based ROM without tripping knox?

-Are AOSP based ROMs missing any Samsung drivers? I.e. things like Camera. (In other words, would a Touchwiz based ROM have a "better" Camera)

Generally speaking, how stable is the "current version" of AOSP 5.0.2?

Also, according to rovo89:

Does this mean that I can't install Xposed if I chose to flash a Touchwiz based 5.0 ROM?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lungten:
No. Installing TWRP or any custom recovery will trip knox.

AFAIK, not possible without tripping knox.

I only tested CM12 nighties and camera and battery life is better on stock.

Pretty stable, could be used as a daily driver if camera and battery life doesn't bother you.

Correct.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamaznX:
I want to flash a Touchwiz based ROM after I install TWRP. Do I need to OTA my phone first or can I just flash the ROM? Will I have any issues in the future if I want to flash a AOSP based one?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swimguy14:
No need to ota anything, just flash the rom after backing up current system and then doing'factory reset'

No you shouldn't have any issues just make sure you make a full backup and always full wipe, especially if crossing over from aosp to touchwiz/ vis versa.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamaznX:
So it's perfectly safe to go from 100% stock 4.4.2 -> modified 5.0 TW
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxydedicated:
If your phone is messing up like that have you tried reflashing it's stock firmware? Make sure you know what stock firmware you have, being either 4.4.2 or 5.0 etc. You can find all stock firmware either from Sammobile being main source or by searching online. Then flash it via ODIN. I have had the same problem as you did with my first Note way back and this method always seems to work.

Hey all,

I am attempting to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900P (Sprint) so as to be able to install custom roms. I have already installed the official Lollipop update so it appears Towelroot does not work. There are a few videos on Youtube that show how to gain root using a custom recovery program, such as twrp or Philz. However after installing these via Odin I am not able to boot into them. Holding Volume Up + Home + Power instead brings me to the Android system recovery <3e> which I believe to be the stock recovery program. Any ideas?

Thanks,
