[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yotam.B:
Hey all,

Before 3 months ago I wanted to make the my HTC One to GPE.

I followed this guide:

http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...with-bootloader-recovery-ota-updates-0148068/

It worked great I really enjoyed this experience versions.

Now, I want to install Android Revolution HD 61.1 and I do not understand what the process I have to do.

I downloaded the file's version.

I enter to Recovery and installed from the file.

The device startup with a new version but there were some problems:

- Google's logo still appeared to me the operation of the device.

- It is unable to connect to Google's services.

- At the first time after the device turn on the sim card is not work but if I turn the flight mode on and then turn it off the sim work correctly.

*sorry about the incorrect English.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramblingon:
Make sure you do a full wipe from within the Aroma installer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yotam.B:
I make full wipe before installing in installer and after installing in recovery.

What this Armoa instarller?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decayer177:
Aroma installer is the interactive installer within the ROM's flashable file that guides you through the installation process. Put the ROM you want onto your SD card, boot to recovery, install the zip, and when the installer comes up be sure to tell it to perform a full wipe. As for the picture in your post, that's HBOOT.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yotam.B:
Okay. Thank you. I understand you.

In Installation I make WIPE.

There is a need to WIPE after installation?

Anyway, I want to return the device to its original condition, with the HTC logo and then flash the version again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decayer177:
Wipe before the installation. Wiping afterwards would just delete everything. If you're trying to just put Android Revolution on it, you don't have to go the entire way back to stock condition just to do it. Simply wipe and install. If you're S-OFF, you can update/change the firmware and all that, but it won't prevent the phone from functioning.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
flash latest 4.19.401.11 firmware from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2365506

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yotam.B:
This guide I will return the device to the original factory settings?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
well this firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579996 (from [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION]'s guide) will get you back most (or hopefully all) HTC Sense firmware (except boot.img which comes part of the custom ROM, and recovery)

no need to relock bootloader since you're s-off, but remember:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip

fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip <- yes TWICE !!

fastboot reboot-bootloader

I don't have S5 yet, but as potential buyer i have 2 questions for those who flashed custom recovery or kernel and rooted their S5:

1) Does fingerprint scanner function work with custom status and knox warranty void=0x1?

2) Do you see red message on top left corner of initial boot screen (something like KERNEL/RECOVERY SECURITY CHECK FAIL) if you flash custom kernel or recovery?

(With custom recovery you may see this message only when you boot into recovery).
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hobbes2099:

Just unboxed my S5 for Mexico's Telcel carrier; G900M is for Vodafone and apparently Latin America (hence LA).

[Galaxy S 5 General] square_eyes:
Hi, I am a new owner of the SM-900F (I am an experienced Motorola Atrix 4g Modder)

I have read most of this thread and am still a little confused.

I want to root mainly, but a custom recovery might be nice.

The instructions to root here require a custom recovery. But following the instructions to achieve that just tells me to grab an Odin capable recovery. But where do I get that? I'd prefer CWM if possible as that's what I'm used to.

If someone could clarify I would be hugely appreciative:)

Peace!
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
No, as your phone already has an unlocked bootloader, you don't need to flash another bootloader.

You can directly flash the custom recovery tar file in Odin to get e.g. CWM recovery.

To root, you can flash the root kit zip file in CWM recovery afterwards, or flash CF-Auto-Root tar file in Odin.

To flash the CF-Auto-Root file, you don't need a custom recovery.

But it's your choice.
[Galaxy S 5 General] square_eyes:
Ah ok thanks. I meant Odin capable recovery:) I edited my post. The CWM is unofficial yeah? I have been reading around, maybe the TWP is better. Might be good to have links in the original post since it's a noob guide. Could save some digging. Thanks for the quick reply too.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wireless_one:
thoroughly confused . . .is it now possible to get around the lock down by VZW? Did I miss something? It was my understanding that if you had the VZW S5 that it was locked and no way around it. Did someone do it?
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
He, he ... that's what I wanted to say.

So far no root/unlocking of the bootloader successfully reported for the SM-G900V.

(You can check here if you want.)

Sorry ...

BTW ... you can sign the petiton for getting an unlocked bootloader for your device here.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wireless_one:
ok, while still not happy about the predicament, no longer confused. You had inferred that it was possible earlier when someone asked if you could do this to a VZW phone . . .signed the petition a while ago . . .still just shocked that no one has figured this out yet . . .
[Galaxy S 5 General] mmartinez1987:
This may be a dumb question for some but where the hell is the boot loader? Can someone give me some examples? I am trying to wrap my head around the architecture here.

I was wondering if this would work to unlock the bootloader on Verizon variant after I root it with the new Towelroot method.
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
After Towelroot your phone is rooted. But with a locked bootloader you won't be able to flash a custom recovery.

This guide does not unlock the bootloader.

AFAIK there is no unlocking method for the Verizon S5 out yet.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Masum56k:
Does gaining root and using a custom recovery means, I've Unlocked Bootloader? ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Rooting is possible even on a locked bootloader (e.g. with Towelroot), but flashing the recovery/system/etc. partitons (to change the "primary" system) needs an unlocked bootloader (ATM).

(Note: There are ways of changing other parts of the sd card which can be used as a kind of "second" system ... e.g. with Safetrap.)

SM-G900H comes with bootloader unlocked ... like the SM-G900F.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AdunToridas:
Thnak you for your post
[Galaxy S 5 General] shoresteve626:
Not entirely true.... My Vzw S5 and my last two phones (all with locked bootloaders) all run a custom recovery and ROM via SafeStrap.
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Thanks for the info :highfive:

I wasn't aware that Hashcode already implemented his Safetrap recovery for the Verzion S5.

(To my excuse ... it's just 5 days "old".)

Have edited my post above now !
[Galaxy S 5 General] ctap001:
I have the SM-G900F variant. I haven't checked the bootloader status but seeing the most recent posts ITT I'm assuming it has its bootloader unlocked.

To my questions

1) do I look for an image of an unlocked padlock during boot to know the bootloader status? If not what should I be looking for/how do I know for sure that the bootloader is unlocked?

2) will flashing a custom recovery/ROM trip KNOX (assuming that the bootloader is unlocked) trip KNOX?
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
1. SM-G900F have unlocked bootloader ... no need to verify.

2. Yes, flashing a custom recovery or kernel/ROM will trigger the KNOX flag.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ctap001:
Are there any other benefits of having an unlocked S5 now that I can't flash custom kernels/ROMs without triggering KNOX?
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Yes, if you don't care about KNOX you can flash custom kernel/recovery/firmware/ROM/etc. to your device.

BTW ... I always like to be "unlocked" ;)

EDIT: Just read this statement of another user about KNOX. Good to hear it from another "mouth".

No, not automatically.

You can root a device even with a locked bootloader (e.g. with Towelroot).

If you can flash a custom kernel/recovery, then your bootloader is unlocked.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barberboy420:
Whats the best way to get a custom recovery on the s5? I saw a couple of ways just want to be certain. I already rooted and currently on stock
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
One way (and how I have done it) is to flash the recovery tar file with Odin to your phone.

Keep in mind this will trigger the KNOX flag.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barberboy420:
Which recovery is recommended for the s5? I was just using philz on my s3. One other thing. If I take the software update im not gonna loose root rite?
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
You can try different recoveries. I also prefer philz-touch recovery which is cwm recovery. But there are also TWRP recoveries available for our device. It's your choice.

After software/OTA updates you might be unrooted again. And some updates may disable previous rooting methods.

To prevent this, you can disable automatic software updates and flash the new firmware manually ... e.g. with Mobile odin pro app from Chainfire. It has the EverRoot option to keep root.

Hmm ... flashing PhilZ-recovery does not root your device.

To root it, you may flash CF-Auto-Root for SM-G900H from Chainfire.

There you can also find a description what flashing CF-Auto-Root does ... basically installing SuperSU app.

IDK about the roottoolkit ... sorry.
