Hi I dont know if this is the best place to ask but Is it possible to flash only the aus xsa modem on the taiwan firmware? If so can you tell me how? My wifi on my phone has suffered since the flash and my reception is down to 2 bars where it would normally be all bars

Hi. A friend asked me to backup his contacts from his s4 so he can transfer them to his s5 when he gets it. I used the export option of the s4 contacts to make a backup to the sd card. Then i proceeded to reset his device. When he came back with the s5 I couldn't find a way to import the vcf file i created. He had sync disabled so he never had a backup of the contacts with google servers.

How can I transfer the contacts.vcf to the s5? Tia.

Hey guys :)

Got my S5 today - its a G900i (Aussie/NZ/Oceania?) coming from a Nexus 5 (before that S4 that got stolen). I am unsure as to what Recovery I can use. I have always used TWRP in the past as its just so good.

My problem is there is so many variants of the S5 and TWRP has one for "klte" but doesn't really seem to expand as to what handsets fall under that generalisation.

OK, possible future S5 n00b here... coming from my trusty Atrix 4G. I've been on xda for a while. I've been researching in the S5 forums for a week or so, and I think I got most of my questions answered. BUT, it doesnt hurt to make sure, right?

Looking at buying a factory unlocked S5, mostly to avoid carrier-based OS nonsense, please correct me if I am wrong on these 2:

* Looks like rooting isnt too much of a problem on most models nowadays (I do some of my own custom dev work).

* Looks like Wifi tethering is working using various solutions (big deal for me, a work related must)

The outstanding point, of which I've found some conflicting info, is which factory unlocked model for sure works with AT&T LTE in the USA? I've seen some info that indicates that the H and F models do, and do not, work with LTE???

Any other pitfalls I may need to know with the current S5?

Thanks for any info!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
The G900F is the international Qualcom variant with LTE chip.

The G900H is the international Exynos variant without LTE.

Samsung has implemented a kind of region lock on the G900F in some regions. ..so you have to use a SIM card of the region it was originally sold for. .. but after using it a few minutes with a proper SIM card, this region lock should be disabled automatically.

So you may look for a G900F for the US to be on the safe side [emoji6]

Rooting is no issue.

And wifi tethering works fine.

Not sure where to look...

So I've searched high and low without luck, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm new here. My device is a US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S5 (klteusc). I have been following this link on the unofficial CM 11.0 build, and hit a wall.

I am S-Off (I believe) and until recently I was running albinoman's 20140914 unified klte build just fine.

My recovery is Philz Touch CWM for klte (6.57.8). Yesterday a USC specific build was released (klteusc). I downloaded the zip and attempted flashing through recovery, and got an error (Status 7). In short, the error told me that the ROM I want to flash is klteusc, and it aborted installation because my device is recognized as klte.

So my question is, how do I get my klteusc device to recognize the klteusc ROM? I haven't had any problems with unified klte builds, but to my knowledge my device is indeed klteusc. I don't know why it is telling me my device is klte (unified tree).

Should I try TWRP instead of Philz Touch? Or is there a modification that needs to be made so my device is recognized as klte?

Thanks in advance for any insight on this, I hope I've explained my issue clearly. All I want to do is run the klteusc ROM on my US Cellular Galaxy S5.

Which Country for International G900H ROM in the USA?

I've tripped Knox and want to be prepared when they update my firmware to 4.4.4 since I won't be able to get it over the air.

I went looking on SamMobile and found my phone, but there're LOTS of countries listed, none of which is USA, and I have no idea which to use?

I'm in the USA and this is a "factory unlocked" international G900H (4.4.2, KOT49H.G900HXXU1ANG3).

I have the factory ROM with PhilZ's ClockworkMod and Aroma FM. [Nice Job :good:]

Rooted.

My current carrier is ATT, but that could change.

What are the differences between the versions?

Is there a "best version" for use in the USA?

I think using TWRP won't solve the issue.

After flashing a klte firmware you phone is kind of "converted" now.

If you want to flash back a klteusc firmware, you have to remove the comparison part from the update-script file in the rom zip file, or flash a stock klteusc firmware (tar file) with Odin before (to convert it back again).

But why do you want to flash a klteusc firmware?

Do you have any issues running on a klte firmware?

Kernel?

I attempted flashing the klteusc immediately after flashing the stock TAR through ODIN... I will try this again. I did have problems with the klte, when the builds split to klte (GSM) and klteusc/kltespr, I lost certain radio functions on the new klte build.

I also tried removing the comparison part of the updater script, but am not sure if I did it right. After removing the comparison in the updater script I didn't see the Status 7 error, but the installation still aborted.

I'll reflash to stock and try the klteusc build again... would flashing a different kernel help? I don't know what kernel is integrated into the unofficial CM 11.0 build, but I could try flashing stock/ktoonsez/cm kernels. I'm unfamiliar with kernels and their integration into ROMs, but I'm willing to try.

Thanks for the quick response!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Stock rom will come with stock kernel.

BTW you will have to root it again, or at least flash a custom recovery before flashing cm11.

And cm11 will also come with cm kernel by default.

So don't bother about flashing another kernel.

Photo quality on instagram issue(Galaxy s5)

Like the title says I have a problem with the quality in which my pictures turn out when I post it to instagram. In my gallery or even in the screen before the picture is processed on IG the quality is normal and perfect, after its posted however it looks so pixelated and ugly. So I googled my problem its a well known problem it seems and I tried some methods but none work. One method was to use this app called "Resize" by nSystem and I have been unable to use it properly. You're supposed to create a new profile that change the dimensions of the photo to 612x612 but I have no idea how to do this. There is no menu option to make that happen(unless its hidden somewhere). Anyways my question is if someone has the app how do I use it? If you do not have the app but know of an app or method to make my pictures come out normal please let me know.
