[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csh8428:
I've only had non-carrier locked nexus devices, so I'm unfamiliar with how the ROMs make a difference on the different models. A buddy of mine gave me his AT&T Galaxy S5 to root/rom since he new I was experienced doing it with the nexus devices. He has a pixel now, but uses his S5 as a data only phone. Does it matter if I put any other ROM besides an ATT Galaxy S5 ROM on it?

Thanks,

APK Signature Scheme v2

With Android Nougat, Google introduced the new APK Signature Scheme v2. This new signature scheme could pose problems for GApps packages in future versions of Android. But luckily for Nougat there is still an exception for system apps.

If a Google app receives an update from the Play Store, the libraries in its APK are usually compressed. But the libraries need to be stored in a decompressed manner within the APK to make them install-able on the /system partition. This results in Open GApps having to re-package the APK which changes its outside. This did not intervene with the original signature scheme (that only verified the inside of the APK), but does not pass the v2 scheme's check anymore.

Failing to pass the v2 scheme is only fatal if X-Android-APK-Signed: 2 is included in the META-INF/*.SF files. But unfortunately this header is included in Google's most recent apps. This implies that the ROM needs a patch to allow APKs on /system to fail the v2 test even if the X-Android-APK-Signed: 2 header is present and only check the v1 signature.

Hi all. Im new to all this flashing roms stuff. I recently bought a rooted s5 g900f on lollipop 5.0. I have twrp 3.0.0 installed. I tried flashing resurrection remix rom on marshmallow yesterday and after wiping system delvik and cache, i flashed the rom and gapps. Afterwards the phone went to odin mode and wouldnt boot. Product name was shown as g900k which is the korean variant. Incidentally my bootloader is G900KKTU1BOL1. Please help. How do i flash custom roms on my phone?

no root needed to flash fw via odin, goto https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ find model number for your phone, most likely whats under battery, read about use of odin in this thread/forum, many posts on howto

you need mm 6.0.1 bootloader and modem for your specific phone model/variant, flash a marshmallow 6.0.1 fw, read above

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincom:
any g900f fw is fine, as you just want a 6.0.1 bootloader and modem there are only those files available in this thread/forum, somewhere, u would need to search or just flash full stock fw from sammobile, then install twrp version according to dev preferences if any and thats made for your phone model, after that then u follow the devs custom rom installation procedure

I dont know which of the firmwares to download..there are so many available. Can someone please provide the exact link to my variant.

Hi.. My variant is g900k and i am from Pakistan. My problem got solved. I downloaded the latest marshmallow firmware for my model. And then flashed the resurrection remix rom. Actually the problem was that I was looking at g900f firmwares and roms when in actual my model was g900k. I was confused because in the about device section and below the battery my model was written as g900f but when in odin mode.. It correctly showed as g900k.

Help!! Heart rate measuring vibration missed. Help!!!

help!!

heat rate vibration

s health heart rate on 6.0 touchwiz.

Do anyone have feature that during heart rate measuring phone vibrates as heart rate pulse?

Because I had this feature when I update from 5.0 to 6.0 and liked it very much.

Then I install custom rom after week I decided go back and I flashed directly stock latest firmware 6.0 with odin.

After that this vibration while measuring heart rate is gone.

I installed almost every versions s health. I cleaned app cache from settings. wiped dalvik cache from recovery but no luck.

So my question is who knows this feature and who know how to enable ?

Also I read that s health has quick heart rate measuring and can be enabled from s health -> heart rate measuring -> More. which should be up right side but I cant find it.

G900FD CAU latest 6.0.

Hello, this is my first time posting to a forum for help. Usually can figure it out but this has me stumped. I have a spring galaxy s5. BOG1 is the build number. Anyways, all was fine until I went to change my ROM because the fusion ROM is too buggy for me. No matter what ROM I try to flash I always get stuck in a boot loop. I have made sure the ROM is for my phone. Even roms I have used in the past won't boot now. I've tried cm13, moar, sacs, and even a stock deodexed ROM. I've noticed every time it tries to boot it hangs on the black galaxy s5 screen for longer than usual then I get the boot animation forever and ever. I've left my phone there for 20 minutes to no avail. Also, I always do a complete wipe before installing any ROM.

If anyone knows what could possibly be causing this I would appreciate any help. Thank you for reading :)

Phone wont charge

Hello everyone, I am currently having a problem with my S5.

After a wet bike trip, my phone won't charge anymore. I tried numerous chargers, but none of them would charge my phone. When its battery went dry, I tried to recharge it again.

But here's the wierd part. The Battery Charging Icon goes on, and then the screen goes off again, as normally happends when you plug in the charger. 5 seconds later, the phone vibrates and the charging icon pops up again, in a seemingly endless cycle.

I searched for solutions online, and I found some results claiming that it's the power button. I know that this is not the case, as it acted normally at the time I still had power left, and it does not seem to attempt to boot.

Already tried to use this toolkit from SkipSoft, but I have some problems rooting it...

It does not download the newest version and I don't know if it supports my build, because there is a support for 6.0.1. but only till a certain build, it also says, that there is a new module availabile, but it doesn't seem to update it even after using cleanup and let it download this GalaxyS5 module again...It says in the changelog that it got updated to support the newest builds...

If I flash a recovery, it reboots and everything is like stock, after flashing a recovery, but I'm not sure, if it just reflashed (the phone) the original recovery back to its place, don't tried to check it, I'm too tired, it's 4:01 AM know...Living in Germany

I also tried towelroot only to see that it doesn't support my build anymore...

Well, what should I do now if I want to flash a custom recovery and root the phone? Can someone explain it to me?

I'm relatively new to Samsung phones, only used ODIN a few times for a colleague of me and I had a HTC EVO 3D before, but this time it doesn't work out for me ....I also want to backup my IMEI, but I can do that in custom recovery by backing up the modem partition, that's for sure :D I remember flashing an Active 2 and having problems with no IMEI, it's the last time I forgot to back it up :D
