2)I thought if I could install cwm/twrp recovery I could install super su version 2.65 and fix the binary issue. . I got the cwm recovery and flashes it via ODIN. . .cwm was installed. .BT it shows mount issues and seems to have reading SD card issues. . I can't backup to my SD card or so. . .

this is the text which I see when open cwm recovery. . .even when I installed Phil's recovery from rashr recovery tools. . ven Phil's recovery showed same issues. .

3)I have installed flashfire in my Samsung galaxy s5. . it shows the following warning. . .

I just want to backup my current stock ROM and move to s6 ROM for my Samsung galaxy s5 SM G900H. . .if you have any working alternatives feel free to suggest. . .

please help. .

Hello everyone. I have a SM-G900F model. I was on PopWiz Telstra v5.1 ROM, which worked fine, but had some troubles with logcat. Now I decided to install CyanogenMod 13.0 nightly. I wiped system, data, dalvik cache, cache and flashed it and OpenGapps. Now I can't register on network. It says Emergency only. IMEI isn't lost, I see it in "About phone", I can go to "Network operators" and see all the available operators around, but when I click on my, it says "Failed to register". What is the problem? It happens even if I flash Cyanogen 12.1 snapshot. Only ROMS with Samsung's TouchWiz work fine.

Hi. Is there anyway to downgrade from lolipop to kitkat in galaxsy s5??
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepe100:
Yes you can, but u must to flash with Odin a modem and bootloader compatible with the kk version you think install. Then install you kk custom ROM . If you want install a stock ROM just flash with Odin and it includes bootloader and modem.

hi guys, i have a little problem: on stock recovery i pressed wipe data, and somehow it deleted all my files from internal memory, but why i try to restore it from a previous backup, it say sd-ext:volume not found. is there any way to solve it?

thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balazsyb:
another question :D is there any way to "restore" the backup on pc? i mean, i have a full backup of a prev rom, like system.ext4.tar a/b/c etc, and i would like to see the backed up files on my pc. (especially the sd-ext :))
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky Divjakovski:
pretty sure you can delete the sd-ext backup file and the md5 and restore, also yes there is, you can use openrecoveryscript(ORS), you can convert the backup to a zip file and flash using the recovery ADB, theres no real way of doing it completely by PC unless booted with root access, pushing the file to sdcard and, pushing an ORS to the respectedpath it needs to go an adb reboot recovery

hey guys I have a SM-G900FZKATIM phone which will not boot.

I have an account on sammobile but I am not sure which firmware to use, I tried a few but the result is the same every time, Pass in Odin. Phone is stuck in bootloop with in the upper left corner recovery booting in blue.

My guess is that I need to download firmware from the TIM (italy) region but then there are still several firmwares to choose from with all different PDA en CSC.

Which one should I use?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky Divjakovski:
get the most recent one for your device, before flashing with odin, flash a custom recovery with odin, then boot into recovery and format system, data, cache and dalvik cache partitions, additionally and recommended i suggest you even format your sdcard(internl sdcard) and then proceed to flashing with odin

after flashing with odin, boot into recoverry and do a factory reset, finally reboot, if it gets stuck in a bootloop, reboot the device again and the next time it should work

im 99% sure that will work
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GOTR:
Thank you for your reply

I already tried flashing a custom recovery such as CWM and TWRP but i get the same. I press the power, home and volume up button. recovery booting in blue comes on the screen and then the phone goes immediately to the download mode with the error cannot do a normal boot...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky Divjakovski:

Guys i have a G900f currently i am running stock rom LP non rooted, if i flash a newer version of stock rom are there chances that my efs might get corrupted ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GOTR:
Might be but i tried several different ones I found either on this forum or elsewhere on the internet with the same result every time.

Which one would you suggest i use for my device?

I spend the last three days on this problem, I tried a few differrent stock firmwares, custom recoverys and even PIT files but nothing seems to work, my whole telstra (australian provider) credit is going to firmwares lately lol. I am even downloading another one right now. takes a while on sammobile.

This is the one i am downloading right now: sammobile.com/firmwares/download/36080/G900FXXU1ANH6_G900FTIM1ANI1_TIM/

and from sammobile i already tried the following firmwares without luck:

sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56781/G900FXXU1BOI3_G900FTIM1BOH1_TIM/

sammobile.com/firmwares/download/67469/G900FXXS1BPC3_G900FITV1BOH1_ITV/

found this one somewhere on this forum but also no luck:

AP_G900FXXU1BOC7_CL4469118_QB4368473_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

I cannot really find a good solution to root my phone though. almost every tutorial I find says to turn on the development mode in settings which I obviously cannot do. Or to install an app or use the recovery which i also cannot access. Rooting my phone would be a good solution to, i don't need a stock rom persé. a custom is perfectly fine for me.

any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated !
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky Divjakovski:
not very likely at all, if your gonna mod your device i suggest you rroot stock first then backup your EFS, then your free to do WHATEVER you like

do you have teamviewer? i could take a loop for you, also make sure your downloading the right firmware for your device

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmovr:
There are probably others that have much better suggestions then I, but I recently downloaded a wrong rom and it did a similar thing. I could not go into recover but I could go into download mode. What I did was downloaded the correct rom on my computer transfered it over to my phone and then downloaded from phone. This at least got me back to a workable phone and I was able to recover from there. May be worth a try.

I found what I did with mine, but it is different then yours. You may check this out though and maybe it'll help if your still having problems.

As I said I am a total novice with this. I could not get into recovery and I kept trying anything and everything. finally something worked, so I am going by memory which is not my best asset.

Have you looked at ifixit.com? They might have the exact cut that you need to put everything back like stock.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepe100:
Due to the date 2015 the best option is a factory reset, full wipe you can use titanium back up for recover data apps and the others files photos and documents keep in the memory when you flash Roms. But you can try a dirty installation if you have problem then you perform a full wipe.

I have a G900T which I got XtreStoLite (1.3.6a)on. It was running fine, though I spent maybe a day flashing and reflashing with it not getting through the boot animation.

After the ~30th time reflashing the exact same thing (G900T-UVU1CNK2-MODEM.tar.md5) it decided to work, got everything installed and backed up. Now I want a modern modem on it (G900TUVS1FOL1-MODEM.tar.md5) and flashing this makes it go back to the boot-loop state where I never get past the logo. Everyting in ODIN checks out, no error messages, just says sucsess. I've tried doing just the modem, or modem and bootloader at the same time (G900T-UVU1CNK2-BOOTLOADER.tar.md5 with either -NK2 or -OL1 modems with same effect)

What do I do? Is it literally just a question of trying another 50 times like I did to get the other modem file working, or is there something I can do to improve the odds? Already pulling battery, trying different ports and cables, etc.

Thanks!

Hey guys I have a g900t and I'm trying to get the Insanity ROM working but I'm stuck in a bootloop. I think its one of these 3 things:

1) because I put the zip on internal instead of sdcard.

2) using wrong TWRP? I 'm using the one from here that enabled me to go from 5.x to 4.x and root all in 1 go. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3358190

3) something else.

I guess the only thing I know for sure would fix it is using Odin to flash a "better" fw?

edit: OK I've decided to reflash with Odin to a "better" fw and hopefully that will fix this, anyone know the best one to use when trying to install a 6.0.1 rom like Insanity for the g900t?

The S5 is rated IP67 "Water resistant", not Waterproof

Some are fine under water, others are not

All that stands between you and a brick, is a tiny thin rubber seal around the inside of the backplate, and a small seal inside the headphone jack

And worst of all, a tiny little door covering the USB port
