[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangoman99:
I rooted on 4.4.2 without tripping KNOX and I did read you could root Lollipop without tripping KNOX. I don't know about Marshmallow - Lollipop is fine for my needs tbh though.

I guess my biggest concern there is what do I lose if I do trip KNOX? Obviously not the warranty now, but are there any key apps likely to not work, e.g. Revolut/Paypal etc.

If KNOX is mostly irrelevant then a custom bootloader offers me greater options and the ability to do a proper backup...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear_The_Fluff:
You lose the samsung knox security, so most samsung apps (also Netflix), you may get a tamper error when running the app. I checked paypal, and I do not see anything on having issues with it. If you are using your fingerprint to verify your account, make sure any custom roms you are using have a working fingerprint scanner.

It is not a bug, but a mismatch between ROMs, I installed the ROM of a single chip device on a dual chip. There is a DualSimpatch.zip, for ROMs ported stocks, but I do not have it, I wonder if anyone has a patch of these for an OREO ROM.

My S5 G900P 6.0.1 can not be accessed through the port because of damage. I'm out of luck rooting via odin fastboot etc. Can anyone get me rooted another way without access to the charging port? I'll try anything. Don't care about Knox. Maybe flashfire or something to get the root process started. Just want twrp recovery and root. Magisk is also an option? Help Please!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Check to see if TowerRoot works for you. TowerRoot was reported to work on the G900P for users running 4.4.4 and maybe 5.0.1, I dont know if it will work for your 6.0.1 Marshmallow stock edition as I suspect Samsung might have long patched the "kernel crashing" vulnerability that TowelRoot depends on to copy over SuperSU to the device for future apps to use root.

I would google other rooting methods I am sure there has to be something out there for you that might work without the need of a functional charger port.

Another thing you might do is replace your USB charger port, it only costs $4.95 based on a quick search I did over Ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-USB-Ch...789967&hash=item28039b1fac:g:IxoAAOSwduNZ3Eji

Sounds like an easy repair so if you feel confident in doing this and it doens't look like the Galaxy S5 was a overly problematic phone to open up like the "Newest and Greatest" phones of right now, you might be able to unscrew the back cover and just unplug the old USB ribbon cable and plug in the new USB ribbon cable and your done. (I would do more research on this, ifixit could be a great resource for you that might outline the procedure).

The reason why I am stressing the important of replacing the USB charging port is because since you upgraded to official MM stock rom, most likely Samsung further locked down your device, things you were able to do before to easily root your device might no longer be possible now or very difficult to do. What you might have left would be to install TWRP (which you need a functional USB port), or possibly "Auto Root" could work for your by rooting your phone directly from ODIN (Again, a functional USB charger port is needed).

Just to confirm: You have never installed a custom recovery before? If you had a custom recover installed before (such as TWRP) it would be much easier to root your phone, for a MM you can do a systemless root or install Magisk that also comes with root (my preferred way) it can help hide root from pesky apps, etc....

EDIT: I will edit this post if I ever find anything useful for your current situation. Maybe an exploit you can take advantage over MarshMallow itself. Pro tip: Dont do any further OTA "upgrades/updates" until you are able to rectify this issue, these updates will keep on closing your doors and further removing methods/ways you can root your device and then new methods would need to be found in order to perform a successful root, specially if your USB charging port doesn't work.

Question: When you plug in a regular charger does the phone charge? Is the problem is that the computer doesn't recognize the port? If so then the problem might be with the USB cable. Try another Micro USB cable and see if the computer works. Try another USB port as well if you still see no activity. Try multiple USB cables Multiple USB ports, different computer. If you have a regular (Non USB 3.0) Micro USB cable try that as well. The G900P also works with the standard Micro USB cable in addition to the fat white USB 3.0 cable it came with.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngineManShawn:
This phone was never rooted nor have I installed any custom recovery. If I had TWRP installed life would be good. I had a refurbished S7 and it completely died. Happened to myself and a few others so I'm sticking with the old faithful S5 that I know I can take the battery out of. I have taken apart a few S4's in my day and I must say that it is fairly easy after I mangled the first one. I suppose changing the port is a possibility. Also some cables work and some do not, I have a pluthra of android charging cables. It was damaged by the previous user. You can actually see the damage. It is a strange fact that it sometimes charges. I use a few batteries and a wall charger. S5 is a huge battery hog. I've tried Towelroot, KingRoot Kingo and on and on. Maybe I can do something with mix explorer, it let's me access root files without root. This is the kltespr as was my S4 Tri-band so they are extremely similar and do have both bands for use with multiple carriers. I'll figure it out. I appreciate the response. I was hoping someone had a sure solution. Maybe I can root with magisk. I hear it's possible. I have come to like aosp roms because of the combined storage in the device. LineageOS and similar roms make these device's powerhouses. Thanks for your imput. I suppose I'll order the charging port.

Wow I checked out the port on ebay even has some nice little tools. I found a full kit at Walmart for ten bucks with everything one needs. Definitely going to order the replacement and do it correctly with odin and cf auto root. I was just thinking if I did turn this S5 into a brick I couldn't even reinstall the original firmware. I had a few cocktails I best leave it alone for tonight so I don't delete any important system file. :eek:

I just got an S5 a week ago and I am seeking to flash a custom ROM. I have been searching the forums for how to do this and this thread was the closest that kinda helped. But some file downloads from links in the first post are missing. If I understand correctly, in order to flash a custom ROM I have to:

1. Root the device

2. Install a recovery (CWM or TWRP)

3. Flash a custom ROM to my liking from recovery.

Is this correct or am I missing something.

Is there another thread like this with updated links?

Not a problem at all!

Not too many individuals know that if they already have a version of the Samsung USB Driver Software installed in their PC, and then later they obtain a newer copy of the Samsung USB Driver software than the one installed, they need to uninstall the previous version before installing the newer one.

Though this doesn't happen to everyone but, I've seen so many issues that ultimately stemmed from having multiple driver software installed that may cause Driver Conflicts within the Windows PC System.

Just a little FYI in case you weren't aware of this... :D

S5 g900f bootloop, recurring after "fix", twrp won't boot

Hi - I bought an S5 on eBay UK (spares or repair) with description simply reporting a bootloop that the seller couldn't resolve, seemed a likely easy fix. I'm wondering what could be causing the symptoms I'm seeing - major hardware fault?

I can successfully enter Odin Mode, so flashed the latest official for the variant. It then seemed to do a loop but ultimately booted into Android - let me setup my account, then went back into a loop (I touched the volume button but not sure whether that immediately coincided with the reboot). I then installed twrp, wiped and installed Revolution Remix latest 14.1 - froze at the boot animation after a little while. Tried the file system rebuild options in twrp. Now installing stock (latest or older) goes into the loop after the "Samsung S5" screen. TWRP will install but reboots on entry to it, then back into the loop trying to boot the system.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks, Geoff

Hi everyone.

Very strange problem here - G900F, android 6.0.1

I really do not know what happened, but I lost all my input languages, but the default one - English.

So, I previously had English and Bulgarian for the default samsung virtual keyboard ( Settings -> General -> Language and Input -> Samsung keyboard -> +Select input languages -> Input languages prompt saying "a new lang. is now avail.. update your lang. list by downloading... tap ok to update now -> OK -> aaand nothing ).

My list of input lang. has only English(UK) which is checked by default. All other languages that I previously had are now missing. Manual "check for update" also does nothing.

I tried to update the OS ( Settings - > General -> About device -> download updates manually ), but it did not do any good to the input language list.

There was a good wi-fi and 4g connection all the time.

I tried several other devices and the above methods work with them fine.. I really do no know what happened to that S5...

Is there a way to manually download the additional languages and install them on the device?

edit - original/stock rom ( build number mmb29m.g800fxxs1cqd1 )
