Hate to tell you this, but I've never heard of a screen covered under warranty. I have Sprint also, and even with equipment protection insurance it's a 250$ deductible for screen replacement. And since it's not a warranty thing, I don't think that other stuff matters. I had the screen replaced on my S3 a couple years ago and they never even looked at what was on the phone. In fact, they just overnighted me a new (refurb) one.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky Divjakovski:
There's a way around the screen being cracked, to claim warranty for the screen you simple just have to say you slept with your phone under your pillow and on charge.

Hi,

I am trying to install a custom recovery onto my SM-G900I. I have tried various Odin versions with TWRP, CMW Recovery and Philz and none work. After the recovery .tar.md5 is downloaded to the phone in Odin mode, the phone reboots into the OS. If I disable the reboot in Odin and pull the battery & go back into recovery using home/voldown/power it just goes back into downloading mode. Odin 3.10 reports a PASS but the stock recovery is still in place. I don't understand why it won't install the custom recovery.

I also tried TWRP Manager (with BusyBox) from the Play Store that but it crashes when flashing the recovery rom.

Any help appreciated. I hate touchwiz!!

You can install SuperSU (if you don#t already have it). It has an unroot option to remove root permanently.

That is what you have to check yourself. Or just unroot with SuperSU app's unroot feature before ;)

then you're on NK4 if i'm not mistaken. you need to find the NE5 firmware only file and flash it in odin. when your phone reboots, close all the force closes, then install towelroot. make it ra1n. reboot into download mode, then odin the NK4 firmware only file and you'll be rooted on NK4. install busybox and your recovery of choice (in that order) and either install supersu or flash a rom with supersu baked in and you'll be good to go.

Hi

i'm currently having this ROM on my phone:

have these questions:

1) where can i get this stock ROM to flash via Odin, or how to back it up from my device to flash it later for warranty issues.

2) if i upgrade to the new released rom of G900HXXU1ANK1 for Russia(SER) does the knox trigger? does my CSC change?

Anyone know anything about getting a Sprint S5 to see a 128gb microsd card? I mean, the phone SEES it, but the it doesn't want to see all the FILES on it. Bigger directories, like music or pics just aren't showing up. I should say, the directories are there, but they're empty. It gets weirder: I popped the card out (after having the phone erase and format it) and put it into a card reader and copied the files directly into the respective directories. Put the card back in. Directories empty. I verified the file transfers upon completion. Take the card back out of the phone and put it back in card reader. Directories empty. I'm using terra copy on the computer to do the transfers, and seeing them complete without errors. That was AFTER I copied them just by the USB 3.0 wire directly to the phone and they likewise disappeared. Anyone?

Hi there everyone, my name is James and I'm a noob but I've been lurking around for the past two weeks and decided to join in on the action. I have experience flashing ROMS on my old Galaxy S a couple of years ago to ICS. Which was easy and fun! however I had a S4 Active I bought from when I lived in England and used NET10 here as a phone provider (I love pay as you go), which I enjoyed thoroughly until it got irreversibly damaged one night at a party. Anyways, without doing research I needed a phone STAT and bought a S5 through Verizon (900V) full out and I'm on a pay as you go plan. I do not enjoy the data restriction at all and I was trying to install any 900F OEM ROMS and I can't seem to get it. Any help or advice would be great, I have ODIN 3.09 and maybe I'm missing something...

EDIT: Reason why I am looking to install 900F ROM is so that way I can use a NET10 or any pay as you go sim chip I want.
