As long as you have the CD Key (the one for Activating Windows), you can obtain most of the Official Microsoft Windows builds from the "HeiDoc Windows ISO Downloader" located on my AFH account.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836286230

This is legal and Microsoft uses the HeiDoc company to host various information.

HeiDoc is a company that is contracted by many companies who requires a large server to host their information.

Microsoft feels that this is better to cut down on the costs in creating Software Disks (CD, DVD, etc...) and have the individual burn their own official ones.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :)

Good Luck!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
I understand your frustration and I, personally, feel that you have 2 choices (purely as a Suggestion/Recommendation)...

1) Replace the Digitizer Assembly.

2) Look to transplant your current Motherboard Assembly into a purchased (identical) used device that is in great shape but, only the motherboard could be bad (because yours would be transplanted into that one).

I hope that I had worded these options okay via text... :)

I'm not completely sure if the S5 is able to have the necessary options for the USB enabled with a broken digitizer. I've never been in that specific situation myself.

If someone else does know, please chime in... :)

Good Luck!

Hi,

I have a S5 (G900F) with official Lineage 15 (updated from 14). I have some strange things :

- Short battery life, with 14 and 15. I have a worn original and a new aftermarket battery, but phone discharges fastly, even with economic modes, low performance

- Strange sensors. Both proximity and gyro sensors are acting one-directioned. So proximity can switch "near" mode, but cannot detect if the object is near is moving further. The gyroscope cannot detect turning, screen "stucks" at a position.

If i touch any touch or press buttons, the mentioned sensors can detect again, until the next state switching. This error did not appear on 14.1.

Question is that have anyone experienced this?

And, if there is a better thread to ask these (maybe the 15.1 bug report thread, if any), where can i find these? :)

Hey guys, I just got a S5 (SM-G900I), and I want to install dotOS 2.4. I flashed TWRP 2.8.4, on the website it said that was the minimum. But didn't work, and just boots into normal recovery. Anybody that can help me with this issue.

Thanks

I flashed the klte variant version btw.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
That twrp is very old - I recommend getting the latest version

https://eu.dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.2.2-0-klte.img.tar.html

Install the Samsung USB drivers if not already installed

Once you have download twrp put your phone into download mode

Connect phone to PC

Open odin

Select the AP section

Select the twrp image tar

Start the flash

As soon as your device restarts immediately hold power button Vol up & home button

On some devices if you don't immediately enter custom recovery you will need to re-flash image & immediately enter recovery for it to stick
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chattamax:
For twrp 3.2.2.0, it said you must have version 2.8.4 or higher to flash the latest. Other than that I have done exactly what you said.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
[MENTION=9246643]Chattamax[/MENTION]

Because your device codename is kltedv - I'm not sure if old twrp version work on it

You can try doing the following

Enable USB debugging mode - In your Samsung Galaxy S5, go to Settings>> About device>> then look for the firmware build number and then tap that build number for around 7-times until a message pop-ups that says something like “congratulations you are now a developer”.

Remove the external micro SD card – if you have one, to avoid any failures and error during the flashing process.

TURN OFF the Reactivation Lock – This is only needed if you already turned-it-ON, from which you cannot modify the system when it’s turned-ON. Just tap on Settings>>Security>>Reactivation Lock and then uncheck the Turn Reactivation lock on.

Download & flash CF-Auto-Root - put in AP section of odin

http://download.chainfire.eu/409/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedv-smg900i.zip

Allow phone to boot normally & check you have supersu app installed

Now flash this twrp

https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=5608

Immediately enter recovery when phone restarts else you will need to flash it again

You can try with different twrp versions if the above is successful

Apps still reporting device rooted after reinstalling stock image

Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung G900F, and decided to root it a couple of days ago, I installed TWRP with Super SU using odin, after discovering that my banking apps stopped working I decided to install magisk instead, but the magisk hide feature wasn't working so gave up on the whole thing, and got hold of a stock g900f rom and installed that with odin. But now the banking apps are still telling me they can't start because the device is rooted.

So how do I get back to a totally non rooted device?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
After flashing stock firmware via odin did you perform a factory reset/wipe data in recovery mode?

When you flashed supersu it properly changed system files

If you format system data cache & flash

LineageOS 15.1

Mindthegapps

Magisk

You should pass safetynet & be able to hide root
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackswift:
No I didn't do a factory reset / wipe after flashing with odin, if I do that, how would I restore my nandroid back up without putting TWRP back on the phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
If your backup contains a modified system that would be why your apps detect root

If you want to be able to use apps which detect root then you need to be able to pass safetynet & be able to hide root if rooted

As you flashed supersu chances are you would fail safetynet

So flash stock rom via odin & do a data wipe after & start again - don't restore backups or you'll just be in the same situation

If you want a custom rom just

Flash twrp

Flash lineageos 15.1

Flash mindthegapps

Flash magisk

Hide root checking app in magisk

Earpiece problem in calls

Hey, I have a G900F running dotOS 2.4 [8.1.0] with magisk 16.0 and OpenGapps micro.

Everything is awesome apart from the fact that the earpiece speaker will not work in calls made through the dialer app (it works just fine in Facebook messenger VOIP calls). They still hear me but there is absolutely no sound until i turn speakerphone on, it also works fine with ear/headphones.

Things I have tried:

- Turning off "OK Google" everywhere.

- Default dotOS dialer (maybe its from Gapps?) as well as the Drupe dialer.

- Praying.

Any ideas?

Bonus question: Whenever in landscape mode the volume buttons flip, fml?

EDIT: The magisk mic fix was the thing that was causing the issue, turns out I didn't need it.

With supersu, synpase works great. But with magisk synapse app says "No uci support".

How to fix the synapse app with magisk? How to put there the "UCI"

Trying to flash APNHLOS/MODEM/etc.

Device: Verizon Galaxy S5, dev aboot

Current baseband: QI2

Trying to update to: QL1

I downloaded the G900VVRU2DQL1_G900VVZW2DQL1_G900VVRU2DQL1_HOME_No_Aboot.tar.md5.zip package and unpacked the component images. I'm trying to use Heimdall and download mode to flash without overwriting boot/cache/recovery/system (which already contain TWRP and LineageOS), but the images don't seem to take no matter what I do.

I've tried:

Flashing all 6 other images (APNHLOS, MODEM, RPM, SBL1, DBI, TZ) with Heimdall GUI

Flashing all 6 other images (APNHLOS, MODEM, RPM, SBL1, DBI, TZ) with Heimdall CLI

Flashing just APNHLOS and MODEM with Heimdall CLI

Copying images over, booting into TWRP, and manually dd-ing {NON-HLOS.bin,modem.bin} onto /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/{apnhlos,modem}

None seem to stick, and when I dd the modem partition back off the internal flash, it still seems to be the QI2 firmware. LineageOS also reports QI2 baseba.d

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm guessing there's some write protection nullifying the writes to some partitions, but I'm not sure where it's coming from or how to disable it.

Does anyone know what does this notification icon to the left of the Wifi signal means?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itz420:
N with line thru it symbol

That stands for NFC.

What is NFC?

The clue is in the name: Near Field Communications. NFC is a set of standards for portable devices. It allows them to establish peer-to-peer radio communications, passing data from one device to another by touching them or putting them very close together. Get it? It's *communication* between *near* devices. (It doesn't require a field.)

NFC came out of RFID. RFID, or radio-frequency identification, is the technology used by shipping companies and in superstores to keep track of goods, it uses electromagnetic induction in order to transmit information. NFC is similar technology, but standardised for consumer smartphones. NFC standards are defined by a group called the NFC Forum, which includes Nokia, Sony and Philips.

In essence, if your phone has NFC as a feature it can be used to transfer data to other phones or to NFC readers.

works in conjunction with S beam and Wi-FI direct also which allows you to share the info with each other thru S Beam or wifi direct instead of touching the devices.

---------- Post added at 05:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 AM ----------

A method of rooting the G900A was recently developed. So you could add a custom ROM now. Normally the baseband or bootloader would remain unchanged, the custom ROM will surplant everything else. Note that if you change the kernel or install a custom recovery it will trip a security mechanism known as Knox, which will invalidate the official warranty. Although ATT would probably still honour the warranty anyway. And a lot of custom ROMs won't touch either of these two things anyway.

---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

There are different versions of the S5 phone. The Qualcomm versions e.g. SM-G900T, SM-G900A, etc use the files below for the bootanimations. The Exynos versions probably use the same files too, but I haven't confirmed that.

You can change these files with a root aware file manager. Or look for a flashable .zip file in the XDA forums. If you have a bootanimation.zip file that you want to use, there are two ways to do so. Either modify the Samsung phone to use a bootanimation.zip file instead of a qmg. Or convert the .zip file to the qmg format. You can find forum threads explaining both methods.

/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg

/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg

/system/media/audio/ui//PowerOn.wav

/system/media/shutdown.qmg

/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

The bootsamsungloop.qmg is only present if the boot animation loops more than once. The wav and ogg files are audio files.
